"Black" is about someone remembering a lover who has left.

"Black" was never released as a single, but it received a lot of radio play, and became one of Pearl Jam's best known songs.

4. From which song would you find this lyric: "While you were sittin' home alone at age thirteen, your real daddy was dyin', sorry you didn't see him, but I'm glad we talked"?

Answer: Alive

The music to "Alive" was written in 1990 by Pearl Jam guitarist Stone Gossard when he was still a member of Mother Love Bone. The lyrics were written later that same year by Eddie Vedder while he was working at a gas station in San Diego, California.

Answer: Why Go

"Why Go" is dedicated to a girl Eddie Vedder knew.

"The song was played live from its debut in 1990 up until 1995 when it was dropped. The song made its appearance again in 2003 twice. The song was started without the Bass and Drums intro."
