The story behind the song

"Immortality" was released as the third single from Pearl Jam's 1994 album, Vitalogy. The song was later included on their 2004 greatest hits album, rearviewmirror (Greatest Hits 1991–2003). While some have speculated about the song's lyrical interpretation, the band's vocalist has stated that it was not written about Kurt Cobain. He did, however, mention that there might be elements in the lyrics that could shed light on the pressures faced by someone on a "parallel train."
