Eddie and Chris referencing each other in lyrics over the years (XX)

Today, another example of "are they singing about the same thing"?

Temple of the Dog's Four Walled World (1991)

Pearl Jam's Nothingman (1994)

[badcoverofme]

And he who forgets... Will be destined to remember...

Today’s music: caught a bolt of lightening / cursed the day he let it go.

[rubyriibs]

Caught a bolt 'a lightnin' Cursed the day he let it go

[residentgrungehippie]

I wonder if Nowhere Man and Nothingman have ever met? They both sound like they could use a friend.

“She once believed, in every story he had to tell

One day she stiffened, took the other side

Empty stares, from each corner of a shared prison cell

One just escapes, ones left inside the well

And he who forgets, will be destined to remember”

Pearl Jam - Nothingman

Once divided...nothing left to subtract... Some words when spoken...can't be taken back... Walks on his own...with thoughts he can't help thinking... Future's above...but in the past he's slow and sinking... Caught a bolt 'a lightnin'...cursed the day he let it go...

Nothingman...

Nothingman...

Isn't it something? Nothingman...

She once believed...in every story he had to tell... One day she stiffened...took the other side... Empty stares...from each corner of a shared prison cell... One just escapes...one's left inside the well... And he who forgets...will be destined to remember...oh...oh...oh...

Nothingman...

Nothingman... 

Isn't it something? Nothingman...

Oh, she don't want him... Oh, she won't feed him...after he's flown away... Oh, into the sun...ah, into the sun... Burn...burn...

Nothingman...

Nothingman... 

Isn't it something? Nothingman...

Nothingman...

Nothingman... 

Coulda' been something... Nothingman... Oh...ohh...ohh...
