Pearl Jam — Given To Fly - Live in Boston Massachusetts 29-August-2000

[Verse 1] He could've tuned in, tuned in But he tuned out A bad time, nothing could save him Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out He got up outta there, ran for hundreds of miles He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree The wind rose up, set him down on his knee A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw Delivered him wings, "Hey, look at me now" Arms wide open with the sea as his floor Oh, power, oh [Chorus] He's flying Whole High wide, oh [Verse 2] He floated back down cause he wanted to share His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere Oh but first he was stripped and then he was stabbed By faceless men, well, fuckers He still stands And he still gives his love, he just gives it away The love he receives is the love that is saved And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky A human being that was given to fly [Chorus]​​ He's flying Whole High wide, oh [Spoken Word: Eddie Vedder] Alright. To be honest, it's nice to be anywhere, but it's nice to be here, again. What an extraordinary welcome. Anyways, we're gonna continue on. Actually, before we continue on, we should thank a few people for coming out before, and feeding me lunch, breakfast, and dinner for the past two days. And then playing a great show on top of the evening with technical difficulties, with Sonic Youth. In October, this group of people will celebrate - well, I don't know if we're gonna celebrate - but we're gonna come to terms with the fact we've been together for 10 years. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever. It doesn't seem like such a big deal, when you consider that next year Sonic Youth will have been together for 20. So, may we all be so lucky in our relationships and our ability to get along. Anyways, enough with that. We're gonna continue with the first single after the last record called "Nothing As It Seems."
