5.0 out of 5 stars Quite possibly one of pearl jams best songs?, February 20, 2003

After the realse of vitology, pearl jam steped out of the spotlight indefinetly, only to surface momentarily. Yeild in my personal opioin is as if pearl jam left off of the sounds of vitology and no code and picked right back up on the catchy/rocking sounds of ten and vs. "given to fly" is no exception, altough strangely sounding like led zeppelin's "going to callifornia" has a very impressive melodic/memorable content to it. Begining on a soft key, rocking, soft key only makes it for the better to listein to reapeatly.

This is a rare, hard to find CD single. But if you love Pearl Jam and have a chance to get this CD, then do so -- if just for the love of Pearl Jam alone. It includes the great song GIVEN TO FLY (off of the under rated Yield album) and a great song the band often performs live, LEATHERMAN.

"And he still gives his love, he just gives it away. The love he recieves is the love that is saaaaaaved". This song is flying above all the other great tracks from 1998's Yield. Eddie Vedder and Mike McCready really did the job on this one. It is a catcher AND it will just continue to grow on you. It is an catcher and a grower! Most Pearl Jam songs needs to grow on you for you to find the exellence in them. Given To Fly is very strong live as well. Check ot the Milan version and the St. Louis version, Incredible. The B-sides here are "Pilate"(another song from Yield) and "Leatherman". It sounds great and I think they used it on a christmas vinyl as a gift for the fans in the fan club. I believe they get a vinyl every year with some goodies on them.
I suggest you buy the whole album than this particular single. Enjoy...
