Pearl Jam Originally known as Mookie Blaylock, Pearl Jam came on to the scene in 1990. A grunge band from Seattle, Pearl Jam released its first great album in 1991, entitled Temple of the Dog. Pearl Jam is known for doing things their own way. For example, their first music video was released seven years after their first hit. In 1994 Pearl Jam made and attempt to have a whole tour without using the Ticketmaster agency. The Meaning of Drifting Pearl Jam has never commented directly on the meaning of their songs because they like to leave the interpretation up to the listener. The meaning of the folk sounding song "Drifting" is pretty obvious, though. In the second line of the song the meaning is set. The speaker gives away their mansion to return to a simpler life. The third line is the most interesting in the song. It goes like this, "It's not the world that's heavy, it's just the things that you save." This line states what many successful people feel - that having a lot of things weighs a person down. |
