    What i find fascinating is the difference in energy at these unplugged performances. Alice In Chains was so somber, Nirvana seemed like it had this tension ready to burst as Kurt just kept so chill between songs, Pearl Jam here just so electric and inviting - incredible how amazing these unplugged performances are. They should really bring the format back, love to see Arctic Monkeys, Black Keys, just various bands using nothing more than acoustics and a drumset and killer vocals.

    Son, she said
    Have I got a little story for you
    What you thought was your daddy
    Was nothin' but a...
    While you were sittin' home alone at age thirteen
    Your real daddy was dyin'
    Sorry you didn't see him
    But I'm glad that we talked

    Hey I, o-oh I'm still alive
    Hey, oh
    While she walks slowly
    Across a young man's room
    She said, "I'm ready for you"
    I can't remember anything
    To this very day
    'Cept the look, the look
    Oh, you know where
    Now I can't see, I just stare
    I, I'm still alive
    Yeah, yeah, I, o-oh I'm still alive
    Yeah, yeah, I, o-oh I'm still alive
    Yeah, yeah, I, o-oh I'm still alive, yeah
    "Is something wrong?", she said
    Of course there is
    "You're still alive", she said
    Oh, do I deserve to be?
    Is that the question?
    And if so, if so
    Who answers, who answers?
    I, o-oh I'm still alive
    Yeah, yeah, I, o-oh I'm still alive
    Yeah, yeah, I, o-oh I'm still alive

    I was 15 when this came out. Music was a channel for teenage angst and problems both small and large. Music encouraged introspection and not validation via social media. So pleased and lucky to have been young then and not now. These guys rock and are the soundtrack to my youth. Just awesome.
