I am suprised Smile made it to five pages. I like it, but don't love it. It's a fun listen and if I'm in the mood I like the sentiment. I wish eddie's vocals were a little more prominent. The lyrics are tricky. They have a bit of a back of the notebook in 9th grade quality to them, but that is just becuase they are so simple, and they work becuase Eddie is a good writer so it's easier to take them seriously. Kind of like the difference between a real contemporary artist putting a red triangle on a blue square and calling it art and me doing the same thing and calling it crap. |

has always been my favorite No Code track I always used to say that I couldn't die happy until I saw Present Tense live. I saw got to see that in 03, though, so I shall amend that and state that I shall not die happy until I have seen "Smile" live |

The fact that SOMETIMES was the SOTM this week made me think of SMILE. It's probably the opposite of SOMETIMES. And that's one of the great things about No Code. How can such a diverse collection of songs sound so completely like they belong together? |

Quote: Although Eddie Vedder is credited with writing the song's lyrics, most of the lyrics were actually written by Dennis Flemion of The Frogs. Before a performance of the song at Pearl Jam's June 30, 2006 concert in Milwaukee, Vedder discussed the song. He stated:
"There's a band that hails from Milwaukee - they're an important band to myself, other guys in this group, guys in Queens of the Stone Age, Kurt (Cobain), Nirvana - everybody was really touched and moved by this little band. They were called The Frogs. I've got all their records, all 692 I believe. And they opened for us years ago and one night, after we had finished our little tour, I opened my notebook and there was a little note from one of the Frogs and it was beautifully written and the band was playing a song in the room that day in practice and I just started singing the note. These words are written by Dennis from the Frogs - he's here tonight. Dennis, this is for you, this song's called "Smile." |
