	They play the instrumental from this song in other songs at concerts (RVM in Columbus and Immortality in Katowice)

Tom Rhythm Player	#2 by Tom the Scarecrow at May 5, 2006 at 8:52 PM EST
	This song always makes me cry...especially the live version when he starts saying "we belong together" over and over. Eddie Vedder is just so talented. All of Pearl Jam is.

Jordan Average	#3 by Jordan Alley at Jun 4, 2006 at 7:27 AM EST
	i love this song and i love pearl jam long live eddie!!!

Brian Lead Player	#4 by Brian Priddis at Aug 10, 2006 at 4:09 AM EST
	That is one of the saddest songs i've ever heard.But it reminds me of someone i wish i could forget.

	i think it's about how Eddie Vedder and the band went on a 'Road Trip' like journey across America and when they got to Texas they met the devil and the devil winked at them

The Four String Lead Player	#6 by The Four String Mother Fucker at Feb 3, 2007 at 10:05 AM EST

	Dennis Rodman is on the answering machine in the middle of this song when it says "Yo bro. Tell us what's happenin'. Um, I'm on the west, west side of, on the west coast. Give me a jingle, uh, when you get in from where the fuck you're at." Rodman is a huge Pearl Jam fan.

Jesse Average	#8 by Jesse R at Feb 9, 2007 at 6:47 PM EST
	Makes me cry everytime i hear it, especially the unplugged version, its one of those songs that when you hear it connects itself forever with a memory or experience
