Iwonder why nobody posted a coment on this song... It reminds me of much, and reminds Eddie Vedder too i bet..

The note that Eddie got was from basketball player Dennis Rodmen (sp?). Dennis is a good friend of the band. Also, a message that he left on one of Pearl Jams' member's answering machines is featured on their song Black, Red, Yellow.

I think that stuff was just drawn on the note Ed found..it's in the liner notes for the song. The words aren't written, but there are 3 crooked ass hearts & a bunch of swirls.

This song just makes me smile! For a long time I thought the lyrics went: "gonna make you smile"... But since finding out the actual lyrics, the song got that much better! I am listening to it, and smiling as I write this! It makes me smile!

Smile reeks of Neil Young,..and the chromatic G tuned harmonica puts some life in the song..... I think this song is about eddie admiring a friend's ability to Smile when the sun dont shine..... but i am not sure.... I also think it could have come from a note like nasus said...
