what is the meaning of better man by pearl jam
Better Man (Pearl Jam song) Al Weisel of Rolling Stone called the song a "haunting ballad about a woman trapped in a bad relationship."[4] When "Better Man" was performed on VH1 Storytellers in 2006, Vedder introduced it as a song about "abusive relationships."[5] Before a performance of the song at Pearl Jam's show on April 3, 1994 in Atlanta at the Fox Theatre, Vedder clearly said "it's dedicated to the bastard that married my Momma." He was referring to his stepfather, Peter Mueller, a California attorney whom Vedder had long believed to be his biological father and who divorced his mother in the early 1980's.[6]
Just Give Me a Reason The song is about the desire to hold on to a relationship even when it appears to be breaking down.[1]
Eleanor Rigby The song is often described as a lament for lonely people[16] or a commentary on post-war life in Britain.[17][18]
Harlan Howard Howard formulated the oft-quoted definition of a great country song: "Three chords and the truth."[3]
