Album of the day: Pearl Jam “Vs.” (1993)

Just click below to listen to one of my Pearl Jam‘s favourite songs, “Dissident”, one of the tracks of the album “Vs.” (1993)

Vocalist Eddie Vedder explain the text of the song:

‘In “Dissident”, I’m actually talking about a woman who takes in someone who’s being sought after by the authorities for political reasons. He’s on the run, and she offers him a refuge. But she just can’t handle the responsibility. She turns him in, then she has to live with the guilt and the realization that she’s betrayed the one thing that gave her life meaning. It made her life difficult. It made her life hell. But it gave her a reason to be. But she couldn’t hold on. She folded. That’s the tragedy of the song’ (Source: Wikipedia)
