"I can understand every word" is something I have never heard someone say about Eddie Vedder. 🤣
Right? Lol I was like ok, challenge accepted *tosses Yellow Ledbetter out there*
Until I actually looked up the lyrics I was singing the wrong words for years
This song is pretty clear compared to their others.
No doubt
@@shawnac9289 Same... I always thought the chorus was "Jeremy spoken yesterday"
On January 8, 1991, Jeremy Delle, a 15-year-old sophomore, fatally shot himself in front of his second-period English class. The incident inspired the Pearl Jam song "Jeremy".
THAT I never knew. Shit 🥺
True but the song tried to make the mother look responsible, which was unfair and had no truth to it.
You're right. It's BOTH parents.
The suicide inspired the song... the song itself is a fictional characterization... Sometimes even the best parents can't stop teenage angst...
@@ahuramazda323 c"mon ...he never got hit "with a surprise left " either ....its artistic liberty - cos in most cases it has got something to do with it ..& this probably did too, despite your protestations .
"Jeremy spoken in class today" refers to the moment that he shot himself in front of his class,it was the most powerful statement he could give for what he had been through and was feeling...
*spoke in
“Try to erase THIS from the blackboard !”
The brain matter wipes off perfectly easily. The bits of skull might lodge themselves in the board though, making it easier for the little bit of blood to seep into the wood pulp those old school blackboards are made of. The hardest thing to fix is the bullet hole, though. Oh. And the trauma of his ex-bullies and the guilty idle bystanders, of course.
@@LongandWeirdName I read somewhere that the idle bystanders suffer the worse from the trauma they allowed to happen and did nothing about.
"Erase that from the blackboard"
This video still gives chills 30 years later
I know gdamn
Yes!!
YES 💯
The song was inspired by a newspaper article Vedder read about Jeremy Wade Delle, a high school student who shot himself in front of his English class on January 8, 1991
Kids can be so cruel to each other
@@Huddle_House56 this song is pretty much a biography tho. Like it really wasn’t JUST the kids. He was actually neglected and abused at home too. It’s more people in general even those who, in theory, should love you most (your parents)
@@galenmcwhirter7662 Have you ever actually listened to the people in his life who say the opposite? The news article painted a portrait that wasn't necessarily true. It was their version of truth. His parents were religious, and during that time in the world, that meant you were raised in a pretty strict home...but that doesn't mean abusive. And a song became huge based off a sensationalized story that had very little to do with actual facts.
His mom is still doing outreach for grieving family who have lost loved ones to tragedies to this day.
@@veloraloves but religion is child abuse.
@@Phantom-kc9ly No. It's a choice. Abusers exist everywhere in every part of our society. And yes, abusers even are in all religious organizations. But religion itself isn't the cause. People are.
Pearl Jam is one of the few bands wherein their debut album (Ten) was SO good just about every track on it was played on the radio as a single and they all hold up to this very day.
I love Garden from Ten, might be my favorite song by PJ.
I think in most first albums you hear the true talent and vision of the artists, after that commercial record companies take over and make them change their sound etc.
brother 30 years on and I still love it
Damn good album. I played the hell out this album ❤❤
“Try to erase this, from the blackboard” has a new meaning after you see the ending to the video and know the context. Sends chills down my spine.
The album "TEN" is great all the way through.....beginning to end....'nuff said
Every song is a hit!
One of the most aptly named albums in history
@@riptide3899 I’ve never thought of it that way before… but I will from now on. Thank you💞
Spitting facts
@@chrismoore956 "Spitting facts"? 🤣
That's about as hip a saying as "Groovy, man" ✌
In 1991 My Mom called me and asked me if I'd ever heard of a band called Pearl Jam. She then held her phone out her back door and said that they are playing in the woods behind their house! We lived a mile down the road, and hightailed there! My son was three years old at the time, and to this day, I tell him that was his first concert!
What city and state was it?
Based off a true story
So sad.
The level of emotion Eddie put into this song is absurd
The whole band actually, the entire song is incredible but, that ending is just... no other vocalist would deliver so much in this context
Show of hands: How many people were watching and waiting for the part where Eddie's face in the video was superimposed over the still frame of his face?
I wasn’t, but I did notice it!
🤚
✋
double Vedder = better Vedder? lol.... that was a weird visual for sure
Lol ima watch for it
Jeremy spoke in class today.
so profound that it was
implied that's the only time in
his sad life that he thought
he'd be heard….❤️🩹💔
Rest in Peace Trevor Wilson, the boy who played Jeremy in this video...he died by drowning
Wow what? Really? I didn't know that. I remember eddy taking him up on the stage at the mtv music awards saying look, he's still alive. I'm all sad now.
Didn't you sometimes mean Jeremy Wade Delle from Richardson?
wiki
"Jeremy" is based on two different true stories. The song takes its main inspiration from a newspaper article about a 15-year-old boy named Jeremy Wade Delle from Richardson, Texas, who shot himself in front of his teacher and his second-period English class of 30 students on the morning of January 8, 1991
@@talboot01 The actor who played Jeremy died at age 36 in Puerto Rico due to strong currents. He did not pursue his acting career so he could be a kid. He seemed to have lived an interesting life. RIP to both Trevor and Jeremy Wade Delle.
Makes you really think: When you are rude or mean to someone you could literally be the person that pushes someone over the edge without realizing what they have been going through or have gone through! It is a great idea when you are angry at someone to stop and cool down before responding. Usually if you take a minute or however long you will chill and either respond in a more constructive/positive way or not at all. We need to develop a higher sense of empathy for each other. We are all on the same planet and all go through things.
That's why you show every person respect unless they have shown, they don't deserve your respect
My ex said I was an empath but I'll fight anyone. I love my animals and will fight people over little shit and my animals, but I'm very nice person...
@@bradbutcher3984 as soon as I meet someome they have my respect, then it's down to them if they keep it.
@@bradbutcher3984 Remember to take care of yourself.
Exactly bro/sis 💜😢
I listen to most of the music you react to for last 40 years. You guys bring all knew points out of ever song and have reminded me what great music is like. Thanks so much. Never thought I would enjoy watching two strangers listen to music but you pull it off somehow. 🌹
I wore this album out in high school along with millions of other people. Evenflow is probably my favorite track besides Jeremy.
Ocean and Black are also great
....they don't make them like they used to..A ton of great music in the 90s, what is there today?
you wore this album out and those two are your favorite? They were so overplayed on the radio, it took me YEARS(when youtube was eventually out) to even give them both a listen to by choice.
Also can’t forget garden my favourite of the album personally
evenflow... best blackout inducing drinking game ever... just drink until you can understand it
If Eddie’s voice doesn’t move you & make you feel something you might wanna go to & make yourself an appointment with your Dr. cuz you’re probably dead!!! One of my top 5 bands of all time they’re just great & Eddies voice just puts it over the top
PREACH IT girl!!! :) Agree with all of that and add.... PJ's not just IN my top 5..... they are my #1 fav band of all time and I have MANY favs from many different genres, so that's saying A LOT!!! Great comment!!!
True... although if you're in fact dead you're better off calling a mortician as a doctor could not do much for you at that point
Couldn't agree more 💜
“Try to erase this from the blackboard….” Chilling
His actions said more than Jeremy could have ever spoken. So very sad.
I picked up this album the day it was released. That was 30 years ago last month. I was young then; at my first post-college job. An older gentleman at work, who was about the age I am now, asked if he could borrow the C.D. over the weekend. On Monday he handed it back and told me that there was hope for rock music.
I had the album, probably still do somewhere, I don't think I bought it day one though.
@@3DJapan I was in a record store when they were unpacking the boxes. The employees each had their "pick of the week" CDs on display behind the counter. Several of them were arguing who got to put this one up as the pick of the week, as they'd all taken home a preview copy the night before.
I often purchased things based solely on Paula G.'s recommendations. I'd heard the single - but when she claimed it as her pick I immediately got in line.
Suffice it to say, I think your borrower was wrong.
Jeremy walked into English class and shot himself in the head. "Jeremy spoke in class today".
"try to forget this...try to erase this from the blackboard"...i bet they can't
As a teacher, in Texas, we are taught to report anything a student says about any kind of abuse, even if the kid later says they were just joking. If we don’t, then if something happens, it could come back to us, legally.
It's also a matter of humanity, and compassion, to try and help another in need, right? Not just a legal issue
This whole album rocks. Takes me back to freshman year high school. Great music, and not as many distractions in the world back then.
Takes me back to 7th grade.
Sadly I wasn’t alive when this was out since I was Born 2003 but I love Pearl jam and seeing them next year wish I was alive for the old music back then
@@Ben2402.1 born 88 same shit, but at least I'm happy I'm not that old haha
@@OGGOAT23 you will be in 10yrs and figure out that you're still not that old
There was plenty of distractions...you were just too young to be distracted. I'm about 4 years older than you and I remember this time very differently.
I lived in Seattle in 1980s and 90s. The city was electric with energy. So many musicians playing at each bar, club, Moore Theater, and then came the big concerts. Walking downtown you got to see your favorite artists and everyone was so friendly. Could have $20 and see 3 bands. It was cheap and later Pearl Jam fought Ticket Master in congress to lower Ticket prices for fans.
The 12 yo actor that played Jeremy in the video walked up with Pearl Jam to accept the best video at the MTV music video awards. He has been called the most famous music video person that wasn't a musician. Tragically, he drowned in 2016 while in the Ocean near Coronado, Puerto RIco.
"Do The Evolution" by Pearl Jam has a lot of visuals to interpret. Brad would have a helluva time working through all the visuals while reconciling the lyrics with those visuals. Also. The song slaps and the opening guitar rift alone would keep Lex's full attention.
Probably my favorite pearl jam song! I mean they are all good, but yer that song slaps.
Best music video ever. Favorite Pearl Jam song. Can't like this comment enough ;)
😃 Omg, Lex imitating Eddie Vedder’s singing style is enough to carry me thru the rest of the week, y’all 😂
i love that they are covering my teenage years so refreshing. and brings me back to a simpler time, and my true love for music
keep up the good work!!!!
"try to erase this from the blackboard" ... chilling words. Based on a real event from the 90s. Speaking of Maynard's side projects, have you check out Puscifer? Humbling River is a good one to start with.
The remedy by puscifer is also pretty good!
I'd love to see them react to Apocalyptical by Pucifer!
Lighten Up Frances is a jam too
This song hits me hard every time. I could tell Brad was feeling the energy of the music.
Same 😢
Yeah Brad was. I think Lex was listening to Shiny Happy People.
Eddie sings the verses like a jazz musician would play their instrument. King Eddie is the GOAT.
I can't wait til you get to their MTV Unplugged performance and really hear how incredible this band is.
R.I.P sweet boy . you dont will be never forgotten . Thanks Pearl Jam and thank you guys for this Heartbreaking song
You guys should check out Bush! Glycerine and Comedown are my favorite. I think yall would really like it, same grunge-ish sound.
Agreed...add Machinehead, greedy fly and mouth also.
@@lyleb.5614 Yessir! Cant believe I forgot Machinehead
Little things is my jam
16 stones is my favourite bush album
I flew out to Hawaii in their fan club in the mid 90s to see two (of many) live shows of theirs. They were 99% of the core to my teenage years.
Release, and Last Kiss are amazing, with stories behind them as well. Absolutely amazing band. Yes, more bacon grease!!!!
One of my favorites. "Yellow Ledbetter" is another worthy song.
I would love to see Brad break down the lyrics down to that without having them pulled up lol
Ooooon a ceiling!!
On a Porsche glitter fairy.. Landfill...i wanna leave bennigans...
@@ajmarliere on a carmine far away
One of the few songs I have ever heard (coupled with the video) that causes my throat to clench. I am not normally an emotional person.. but this song/video combo never fails to bring that out of me. Much respect to both Pearl Jam for making this and for everyone whom listens to it and 'gets it.'
I love this song but it always reminds me of the Jeremy's that I have known. Hey if you are alone out there, you hold on don't you let go
Ayyy straight up this. It gets so much better later, it’s worth plunging ahead even if it feels like nobody else has been through your exact situation and can’t quite understand. It’s how many of us felt! But it’ll get better real quick in the scheme of things trust me even when it feels like it’s taking forever.
AMEN!!! Hold on... it really does get better!!
OK, so this is one of the reasons why I love this. Lex is smiling and dancing blissfully unaware of the horror that’s getting ready to take place. You too are so upbeat, makes me smile. Thank you for taking us on this ride. Eddie Vedder is one of the greatest storytellers in music. He can take you to a whole different place.
Pearl Jam - Ten is an album classic. I was at he end of high school when this came out & still gives me chills & awesome vibes. I remember hearing this for the first time & where I was, in a Virgin Megastore in Melbourne Australia & had a listen to it at those listening stations. I walked out with the CD.
That's so funny. When you said it was COOL bacon grease it just clicked with me. Yes totally agree now. :D
Brad and Lex are going fully into the reaction now. Good job to go learn more about artists and songs after you listen to the songs.
Love this song! Not a huge Pearl Jam fan, but this song is incredible! I remember seeing the video on MTV when they played music, good times!
Just wanted to say (and this comment could apply to any of your videos… but especially the Pearl Jam ones), that you guys are my favorite couple on TH-cam. As someone who was taught to truly appreciate all layers of music growing up - I love that Brad will sit and dissect the lyrics and find the bigger meaning; while Lex just exudes happiness and enthusiasm from the many different sounds and instruments. Your combined energy and excitement makes every reaction video enjoyable.
Keep up the great work - and keep the appreciation for old school music rolling. You guys are killin it!!!
The whole album is insane! Would love to see you guys react to even flow though! Either the unplugged or the official video! One of my favourite songs of theirs ❤️
In a documentary about the suicide some of his former classmates were interviewed and asked about the song and some felt angry at the making of the song because they felt it was not fully accurate. I personally believe they didn’t like the accusations of bullying because it made his classmates feel guilty about his death
FUN FACT- The edited version of this video ( which is what was primarily played on MTV and MUCH MUSIC in Canada) cut out many scenes including the gun at the end. The editing by the record company was the primary reason why PEARL JAM suddenly stopped making music videos during the prime years of their success. The group was so upset that the main message of the song was edited out of the video. It wasn't until many albums later that they finally did another music video. Keep smiling 🤘 🙂
Those who study and read music have always said the way Eddie sings, especially this song, is like how jazz players play their instruments. Look in to it, I can't explain it.
Love, love Eddies voice. His live version of Black is phenomenal!!
Love when you guys cover Pearl Jam. They are so good.
When lyrics and sound combine. I love the perspective of both Brad and Lex adding to each other in this reaction
Another solid breakdown and reaction, y'all!!
The only album I could listen to through its entirety every day for my whole life. Not one day has gone by since 1991 I haven't listened to at least one of the tracks of this album.
You guys are having a good week. Love the song choices.
Every so often there's a music video that you just have to watch and this is one of them. Amazing song and amazing music video!!
really enjoying your videos, ive been so lost for a long time now and all these songs and your reactions have been kind of comforting in a strange way.. cant wait to get my little studio set up going again and start making music again etc, feeling the inspiration creeping back in little bit by little bit ;)
After hearing him say he knew what was coming explained a lot. She was bopping along and he was in deep despair.
Thanks for playing this!
SO very powerful and heartbreaking for a young person to feel that. Very well written song and a topic that needs to be addressed. This story, song, and video affected me, so. Happened, here in the area where I live...and, I'll never, ever forget it. I could not imagine having been in that classroom, as deeply as this story affected me.❤🙏
Lex has got the music in her. I can tell. She just gets it. From rap to rock
I saw them play in April of 92 at the Cameo right on Washington St. in South Beach. Even Flow was just hitting the charts but it was before they got really big. It was less than $15 to see them that night. What a show!
My cousin sent me this album in the mail before it was released. I thought this is pretty great...good luck with it cousin Eddie...little did I know...
Hey Man Nice Shot by Filter might be a song to listen to next. Kinda fits this theme for me
Also love that you both are into this song
it's easy to remember peoples names when they deeply affect you, whether in a positive or a negative way... as often as it's said it's always worth repeating - music is food for the soul so musicians who feed us sumptuous delights deserve to be remembered and celebrated Respect & Peace
You two keep reacting to such good music. Never dissapointed.
Request please
Melvins - Revolve
If Lex loves grunge she should listen to the father of it.
Another fave of mine, yus! The lyrics have real meaning, too. It still affects me emotionally. Ten and VS are THE best PJ albums.
One of my favorite pearl jam songs.
P.S. I miss ya'll's reactions SO MUCH! Dad-burned SHAME....was a daily joy of mine to watch you-guys.... HUGS!
Pearl Jam is my favorite band!🤘
Brad & Lex , I loved your reactions! Greetings from Brazil
I"m not even close to being a Pearl Jam fan, but this is definitely an important song and I'm glad you listened to it.
Pearl Jam - Garden
This is absolutely my favorite Pearl Jam song. In fact, this whole album is perfection. To me, it's their most poignant album.
Since you know the backstory of this, I should also note that the parents of Jeremy said that Eddie Vedder never spoke to them about anything to get his inspiration. They said they didn't appreciate him painting them as bad parents because it gave a false picture of their family dynamic.
They said they were harrassed by strangers and got death threats. And dealing with all that, plus just losing their son.
Im glad someone posted this. Pearl Jam never reached out to Jeremys parents. Apparently Jeremy had a good home life from what I read the parents said. I can't imagine having a song done about my child killing themselves, and have to bear the pain of losing them and then relive it deeply when they hear this song..lord the pain they feel 😢
that is something not published, very sad.
Check out "Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town" for a different sound and perspective on this AMAZING band
@@javalily true. and that's a shame. missing some of their best work. like "release me" at the end of "ten". best song on the album imo. not once reacted to or even played on the radio for that matter
I don't know how many times I have seen the video but it is always a gut punch.
Oh wow! This one takes me back. It sure was popular back in that time. It was a sad song really, based off a true story.
Jeremy spoke in class today. When I found out what it meant after having heard the song a bunch of times. At basically the age Jeremy was too.
Nice reaction guys! Song is sad. But real.
Lol this song brings back memories for me especially...In H.S I remember riding bus for football game and entire bus singing to me and coaches saying Jeremy's SMOKING POT TODAY....LMFAO
Thx Lex and Brad
Definitely listen to the whole “Ten” album by Pearl Jam, (the album with “Even Flow,” “Alive,” “Black,” “Jeremy”.)
Other songs, “Off he goes,” “Corduroy,” “Go,” “Yellow Ledbetter,” or “Daughter.”
Definitely should do these songs
I love when Lex smiles at the beginning of a video and then is like.. "oh...."
On the verge of 100k subs. Way to go guys!!
This song/video were HUGE when it came out. Back when MTV was MTV and showing music videos. Geoff Tate, the singer of Queensryche said that when he first heard it/saw it, he cried. I'm sure many others did also.
Great reaction! Throwin' this out there, Smooth up in you by Bulletboys.
It's a powerful song I choke up everytime I listen to this song. There is nothing wrong likeing this song It's sends out a real message that goes on everyday in out schools in our social media.
No. So, finally, after him, the story teller, the singer, picking on Jeremy, he finally lashed out and hit him with a surprise left. "We unleashed the Lion" he had fuckin enough! Lol. Freakin fantastic, powerful song. Glad I finally saw the video. Loved you guys rockin out to it.
You got there. It was a bit awkward watching you smile and love it. We knew what was coming. Pearl Jam is one of the best
Oh boy I was 20 something when this came out. Fell in love immediately.
This is one of Pearl Jam's most powerful songs. I love the Lex is totally into Pearl Jam.
Love this
Interesting that they didn't discuss the issue any more. I feel we can do more than say "Life sucks!" Everyone can do something. No need to save the entire world, but look out for the people in your life. Learn , love and listen.
Great band, great song, wicked sad story!!!👍👌✌😪
I love this song , but it's as about as tragic as they come; while still being awesome, and simultaneously breaking your heart.
Congrats on 100k!!!
Thanks Thomas 🙏🏽!!
Teach your kids about bullying... It's something that will stick with them for a lifetime
Love pearl jam, pure passion always
Love how Lex is into this
Stand Against Bullying.. Its a combo deal-- part Vedder story, and part Jeremy Wade Delle.
So cool to see you both transfixed, right in the song....
Lex, have you a singing background? I see you anticipate notes and harmonies....
