I maintain that if Eddie was writing for Pearl Jam with the same sense of curiosity that many of the Uke Songs embody, we'd be getting more "Grievance"s and "Insignificance"s than "Just Breathe"s. Dynamic-wise, I can appreciate that people find the lack of instrumental variation limiting, but a lot of the chord changes and melodic structures of those songs are adventurous in a way that Eddie's writing for Pearl Jam, in my opinion, has only been on the rarest of occasions.
that's what i was getting at with my word search post. now, although i don't consider Can't Keep the best example of a finished product, it is the only opportunity (unless i'm mistaken) we have to see what a Uke Song seed could grow into at the Pearl Jamily Farm.

a few of these songs came up on shuffle driving home the other day. This is a better album than I often give it credit for
