Jeff plays this on his fretless, therefore, most of the playing uses slides.
Just play around and you'll get the idea.

One of the best pearl jam songs. It's very motivational. Just get up and get it done!

I totally agree. It sounds exactly like a thing that eddie vedder would say about the way to live. Great song. The rearviewmirror really is a very good collection, putting together all PJ's best original studio recorded versions together. The live versions, well that for us to find among all PJ's recorded concerts from their worldwide tours.

Good interpretations here. But I think it's interesting, 'step out on your porch'. Reminds me of Yellow Ledbetter 'can't you see them? out on the porch. but they don't wave.' So Breath is someone leaving their porch and YLB is them coming back in a body bag (dead). I don't think the two songs are really related, only Pearl Jam knows. ;)

Great song, but unsual for many people. I think the message is clear, donīt stay inside something that doesnīt aloud you to see the real dimension of things, of life, and th facts of life. Let the fate come along, waiting for something is a waste of time, all you have to do is go out with simple and basics things you need (a warm breath, a scream, etc.)
