In 2010 I had stage 4 colon cancer. And was given a year to live. I used to listen to this song and cry my eyes out because my kids were 7 and 9, and my wife was only 27. I used to think about them at my funeral and how hard it would be for them. Obviously I got lucky. But a few years later, in 2014 my wife overdosed and died. She had some issues that she fought for a long time. And she lost. And I never realized that now I’m on the other end of this song. Now I keep her in my heart. I make sure I talk to her everyday. And think of the good times. And talk to my kids about fun vacations, or silly stories so we all keep her memory alive. For some reason I am in a Nancy (her name) rut today. I miss her. I miss her a lot.
Dude... Kinda been there in many ways. I don't dare share this song with my mother after a 51 year marriage that ended in dementia. Or mine that were a mess of love, alcohol and mental disorders. But the key word was love. That was never forgotten.

My wife sent me this very performance the day before she passed away . I would not find or listen to it for nearly a week. Three years later I still cry like I did the first time hearing it. I love you Marge.
My Dad loved Warren Zevon. For Christmas 2003 I gave him this CD. On December 30th, my Dad was golfing with friends and died suddenly from a heart attack. I was the family member called by his golfing pals so I had to go down to the course. A couple days later we went to pick up his car and when I turned it on, The Wind was in the CD player and incredibly, this is the song that was playing. I cannot hear it without tearing up, it's been long enough that I tear up with a smile. Such a beautiful song.

I am no longer young. My funeral plans are no funeral. My friends are scattered many are dead. My family is small and far away. I told them please, in memoriam, have a potluck for me a year after I've passed. Tell funny stories and laugh and share food. And I'm gonna make them a playlist to play. And this will be the last song.
My son was in the hospital dying. He had his children play this song as he laid in bed. He died a few days later on January 1, of 2024. He'll always be in heart. I miss my boy. January 1st is almost here. RIP Son.
peace to my little brother. I played this song for my father the week he died. Now I listen to it for my brother, Todd, who passed away this week (1972-2021). He was a gentle soul, who was given bad "hand of cards" regarding his health. Happy trails, brother.
So sorry man. I have three brothers and I can’t think about losing any of them. We are all on the older side and one day it will happen, that’s life but as the youngest it’s on my mind.
Warren was a real musician, and writer. He died like a man could only hope, with dignity and honour. Never made anyone sad, made jokes about his demise, recorded a entire album with stage 4 lung cancer and shortness of breath and unfortunately, this is the last song he recorded in his house before passing. The VH1 documentary is incredibly sad, but courageous. Excitable Boy is one of the best albums ever front to back. Rip Warren
He was both a real musician and great lyricist, but he made a great many people sad throughout his life, most notably his ex-wife Crystal. Fortunately, he got help and made amends before his untimely demise. RIP Warren, and, enjoy every sandwich...
Zevon fan or not...if this doesn't bring you to tears, something is wrong. Paul Shaffer is simply the best musical director any late night show ever had or will ever have. Don't be sad for Zevon's passing, be glad you were alive to enjoy his work.
I am sad of his passing, cause that means he's not giving us any more of his brilliant music. I am absolutely thrilled to be listening to his work. love him forever. great guy, great music. Enjoyed forever
My dad passed away this last February. He died from mesothelioma, just as Warren did. My dad loved this song long before he was even diagnosed and years ago wanted this to be the song to remember him by. The irony of the whole thing is something special, heartbreaking and amazing all at once. Eddie did this one proud.
kommi1974 holy shit, same thing with my father...only its been almost 9yrs, but sometimes feels like 9mins...God damn I miss that man so much...he would've loved my son n new husband so much, but i know he sees us n he's proud. I'll be folding laundry n think about my father...simple things around the house....i wish u healing n send prayers
Kommi 1974 So sorry for your loss. My father-in-law also died from mesothelioma in 2004. His death was the beginning of the end of my family. It's a horrible nightmare to have to live through. 😢
I just got the call my neice, passed since we were only a few years apart, we often did alot as kids , teens , adults, she once said she loved that song by Warren Zevon, but she loved Eddie Vetter , well Shawnee, here is the song and yes will keep you in my heart and memories for ever, not just alittle while, see u on the other side.
This should be the anthem of the pandemic. For thoose that lived true and are hurting...i hope your souls will heal. For thoose we lost, rest in peace....we will keep you in our hearts....much love
Brave of you to say, but I have to say that too. Chronic pain and the ¨Opiate war on pain patients¨ has me stuck in my home. There´s something about Zevon´s smile that keeps the blues away. I´m rural - without much medical service. Music therapy... self-administered and a leather strap to bite on is the best I can do. Keep on truckin´... even if every day is groundhogs day.
Eddie has a natural vibrato in his voice that you can't replicate. It just adds to his beautiful rich tone that makes him one of the greatest, versatile singers of all time. He can snarl like a wolf or he can lull you to sleep like a baby.
I have no idea how this came up on TH-cam for me tonight. When my husband died 16 years ago, two of his friends decided to create a 2-CD album of his favorite songs. I selected them, and Joe and Jim found recordings (not so easy back then!) and made the album. When it was delivered to me on what would have been Jack's 60th birthday, this song (by Warren) had been added. I did not know it; was so touched to have it included.
when my dear old dad, who was a well known lover of music and parties, passed away in 2007; I created a "Micks Mix" compilation of his favourite tunes and distributed them on disc at his wake. People still approach me to say how powerful and touching they find it to put on and sing along and spend a little time remembering their great mate and loved one.
My dad passed in may of this year and he loved Warren Zevon so much that he bought every vinyl and cd of his when cds became popular in the 90s. He used to play it when I was really young and I remember it much. Hearing this song in particularly really makes me miss him and gets me emotional because the lyrics resonate deeply
I have been a Warren Zevon fan for a very long time. All of his songs are intelligent, witty and honest masterpieces. With this song, he created the most beautiful, heartbreaking and honest song ever. Every time I hear this, it rips my heart out of my chest, and I can't help but cry. Zevon was definitely a genius, and one of the greatest musicians and songwriters EVER.
Yeah, this song was the hardest one to handle for me. Warrens the only one I've ever known to share his last days on record., his heartbreaking farewell. Damn, here go the waterworks again.
OMG Eddie takes it to a different level altogether. We need this right now. Pearl Jam is like therapy for me. Now with my husband having advanced cancer and I'm the one taking care of us and our business , it's hard to keep yourself in check and going. Music heals..

This is such a beautiful song! Eddie’s voice does this song justice. I sent this video to some close friends who have stuck by me throughout my life. They were there during my “ crazies “ and always made me smile when I didn’t think it was possible! Thank You All. I Love You!!!
There are so many artists that I admire the list could go on forever. However, Warren Zevon is never far from my thoughts and is ALWAYS on my play list. His sense of humor, his world view, along with his pure musical abilities are among the best that ever lived. I miss him dearly.
This is one of the best covers I have ever heard...and it’s not even as good as the original. That says a lot. Nothing can touch the original, but damn this version is so insanely good. I never could’ve imagined that anyone could possible do this song justice. But Eddie did.
Jimmy I don’t know where you went or why you left us. 1/2 of me is still gone. 10/22/74-1/20/2018 I promised to protect you ! I’m older it should have been me. I ❤ U
"Hold me in your thoughts, take me to your dreams Touch me as I fall into view When the winter comes keep the fires lit And I will be right next to you"
I remember watching Warren perform this song on on Dave’s show right before his death. It was so beautiful and poignant, but he still had his little humorous streak. It was an unforgettable performance.
I remember Warren's performance of this song, too. This is a perfect song. It wrings every emotion possible out of you. My older son just got married and he picked this song to be played for "the Mom & Son dance," knowing how much I miss his Dad who died too young from kidney failure.
My good mate passed away from cancer in January, 32 years old, for some reason this song makes me think of all the good days playing darts and pool in the pub when we were younger without a care in the world, would give anything to go back to those better and simpler days
What is it about Eddie Vetter that draws us to him... that makes us love him so? Is it his kind & beautiful spirit... a spirit that would make a songbird or even a fragile butterfly trust him enough to willingly light gently in his hand, as WE ALL DO when Eddie takes the stage & begins to sing? Is it his constant breaking & healing heart that he shares with us thru his music? Is it his life... a story from an open book... his struggles thru tragedy, loss & lonliness... to finding love, friendship & spiritual healing as he's grown from boy to man... a story we ALL feel we can relate to & understand? Is it the anger & resentment he once felt & has overcome about people & events throughout his life over which he had no control... or his discovery of the warmth & tenderness that has always lived inside him? Is it his very presence... so uncomplicated, revealing & comforting that he MAKES us WANT to know him? It's ALL of these things. These qualities are his MAGIC. They're the reasons we feel Eddie Vetter is a friend. A close, dear, dear friend who is always welcome. And a friend who will have our love... forever. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
I expose this music to my grand kids....I didn't find him until it was to late......with that being said the music will live on because they'll know what true music is thank you Mr Zevon and ty for this tribute
Bless your heart, Allen. Losing your life mate is one of the most difficult and painful losses in life. You will grieve until the day you die, do not let anyone tell you that you should be over it. You don't get over losing the love of your life. But, don't be maudlin, redirect your heart to wonderful warm memories of your dear wife and life fully as she would no doubt have you do. There is much joy in life!
Thanks, Tim. I absolutely believe what you said. I'm now finishing a book about how I still feel connected to my sweetheart, nine months later. I believe our lost loved ones want to reach out to us after they pass.
I just put my kitty to sleep a week ago. I feel my Kitty's spirit coming through. He was my constant companion for 12 years. I miss him so much 😰 Thank you Eddie for bringing this song to me❤️
Shadows are falling and I'm running out of breath Keep me in your heart for a while If I leave you it doesn't mean I love you any less Keep me in your heart for a while When you get up in the morning and you see that crazy sun Keep me in your heart for a while There's a train leaving nightly called, "When all is said and done" Keep me in your heart for a while Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lo Keep me in your heart for a while Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lo Keep me in your heart for a while Sometimes when you're doing simple things around the house Maybe you'll think of me and smile You know I'm tied to you like the buttons on your blouse Keep me in your heart for a while Hold me in your thoughts, take me to your dreams Touch me as I fall into view And when the winter comes, keep the fires lit And I will be right next to you Engine drivers headed north to Pleasant Street Keep me in your heart for a while These wheels keep turning but they're running out of steam Keep me in your heart for a while Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lo Keep me in your heart for a while Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lo Keep me in your heart for a while Keep me in your heart for a while Songwriters: WARREN WILLIAM ZEVON / JORGE A. CALDERON
Still will never watch RnR HOF induct rappers and minor players while talentless Jann Wenner extends his Zevon grudge- likely for some drunken insult four decades ago- to deny Crystal, Jordan, Ariel and the rest of us the knowledge that greatness and, yes, genius was finally acknowledged. I think Jackson Browne, Bruce, Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan know a tad more about song-writing than you, Mr. Wenner.
This is a beautiful song & as usual, Eddie did an amazing job. My husband loved Warren Z and played drums too. My husband passed away 7 years ago very unexpectedly at 51. The weird part was that him and Warren died within a few minutes of each other and we lived near each other. I hope that Tom (my husband) got to meet Warren and jammed together!! They are both truly missed still
I screwed up royally and I apologize! While this is a great song and Eddie Vedder does an awesome job, I mixed up Mr Zevon with Warren Helms. Mr Helms was the one who passed away on 4/19/11, within minutes of my husband and who played drums. I'm sorry for my f**k up

It did. It does.

I'm listening to Eddie Vedder sing this beautiful Warren Zevon song, reading the comments, bawling. Humanity can be such a powerful, wonderful thing.
i hear that. Also, in 2024 realizing how much people suck. It is about to all go to shit
peace to my little brother. I played this song for my father the week he died. Now I listen to it for my brother, Todd, who passed away this week (1972-2021). He was a gentle soul, who was given bad "hand of cards" regarding his health. Happy trails, brother.
Be strong big dawg
Your brother is well. He had you in his corner.
So sorry man. I have three brothers and I can’t think about losing any of them. We are all on the older side and one day it will happen, that’s life but as the youngest it’s on my mind.

I’m guessing you have not read the book, I’ll sleep when I’m Dead. If you had, your post would be different.
That sax PLUS the choir PLUS Vedder is bliss
Played this song at my brothers funeral. Not a dry eye in the room.
This song is for those who love someone that's passed. Means the world to me .

I'll agree. Even after all this time? I can't listen to this song without BAWLING.

Can't imagine anyone other than Warren singing this except Eddie and he knew what an honor it was. Nice job. We all miss you Warren.

My dad loved this song long before he was even diagnosed and years ago wanted this to be the song to remember him by. The irony of the whole thing is something special, heartbreaking and amazing all at once. Eddie did this one proud.

kommi1974 I am so sorry. I lost my Dad a little over a year ago. But the irony of your Dad wanting this sung before he knew is just uncanny.

praying for you brother. pray.
I will pray for both of us
Please give all these broken pieces of you to the Lord!!! 🙏
Keep fighting. I have faith in you.

Caring for my father who’s been fighting lung cancer for two years this really hits home. F cancer!!!
Exactly my mom is fighting it too Fuck Cancer
3 years and a half.
That's the time youtube took to show me this masterpiece. I hate youtube for this.
And I love Vedder for this doing this.
Did anyone notice that's David Sanborn on sax? What an incredibly talented gift to us all for his huge body of work over the years.
Loved "Sunday Night/Night Music" with Jools Holland and Sanborn, oh so may years ago.
Paul could probably ask any musician and they'd jump at the chance.
That Sax was just beautiful.
David often played with Paul's band on Letterman.
David also played with David Bowie as featured on "young American "
@@pg5149 Warren frequently played on Sanborns show and was Warren’s friend too

well yeah (yes)
Huh?
Immortality.
One of the greatest Eddie Vedder performances of his career by one of the great American songwriters. RIP Warren.
Eddie has a natural vibrato in his voice that you can't replicate. It just adds to his beautiful rich tone that makes him one of the greatest, versatile singers of all time. He can snarl like a wolf or he can lull you to sleep like a baby.
Very well said.👍
When ever I hesrbyou sing Eddie Vedder you either make me smile or cry. Sometimes both at the same time. Another great performance
My husband passed away 5/11/2019 and a friend told me to listen to this......... beautifully appropriate
Sorry for your loss. When you two meet again, it's gonna be pretty special. Take care
I have no idea how this came up on TH-cam for me tonight. When my husband died 16 years ago, two of his friends decided to create a 2-CD album of his favorite songs.

What a beautiful surprise from two very special friends! Very sweet.
credit to paul for the perfect arrangement and eddie for the perfect delivery on this. he took it seriously
This made me cry. Made me think of my husband. He will Never leave my heart or my mind. I cant let him go.
Sanborn participating in this brings the tears....
My dad passed in may of this year and he loved Warren Zevon so much that he bought every vinyl and cd of his when cds became popular in the 90s. He used to play it when I was really young and I remember it much. Hearing this song in particularly really makes me miss him and gets me emotional because the lyrics resonate deeply
My Mom passed almost three years ago and whenever I hear this song I know “I’ve got this.”
We sang this at the funeral of my brother-in-law. Hearing this again keeps Donald in my heart.
the strength it would take to wright such a memorable goodbye that has the capability of affecting masses.
It is amazing to me he could write something so poignant as he was dying himself.
I have been a Warren Zevon fan for a very long time. All of his songs are intelligent, witty and honest masterpieces. With this song, he created the most beautiful, heartbreaking and honest song ever. Every time I hear this, it rips my heart out of my chest, and I can't help but cry. Zevon was definitely a genius, and one of the greatest musicians and songwriters EVER.
Thanks Eddie and Thanks to Dave for keeping Warrens music out there. Peace and love people
And enjoy every sandwich
TheSamoht67...sorry, but I don’t need David Letterman to remind me of Warren Zevon’s music.
pecne you enjoy, too...
xx💕
Right on, man.
Dave's choice of music has always been really good! I miss the band performances at the lateshow.
It's amazing how Eddie Vedder can literally sing anyone's song and do it justice or even make it seem better.
WARREN ZEVON - MASTER of MESSAGES - Rest In Peace Warren - Thank you for the MUSIC
I thank JACKSON BROWN for getting you "started"
This man sings like he is the song, performers and their music living in and through him.
Is there anything Eddie can't do? This is so beautiful ....
Eddie is such an Honorable Man .... just a huge love for him.
Ditto
I'm having one of those moments when the hair stands up and the goosebumps are popping.
That voice comes from a special place, deep within Eddie - from the soul
I just love this. Going home to take my beautiful mom's ashes. Will play this. She loved Warren Zevon
BEAUTIFUL, I cried.😢 What an honor for Eddie to sing for David, what a beautiful song!! ✌️🌹❤️
Smiles, absolutely beautiful indeed Laura, feels really great listening, how are you doing?
What an amazing version of a beautiful song. Hats off to Mr Vedder. I sure hope that Eddie stays on this planet for a million more years. :-)
He will, alive or dead.
Made me cry, knowing the story behind this song
Yeah, this song was the hardest one to handle for me. Warrens the only one I've ever known to share his last days on record., his heartbreaking farewell. Damn, here go the waterworks again.
Eddie, you sang that so beautiful, it made me cry. I see you have Tom Petty guitar. It was a nice remembrance of him.
Eddie has that uncanny knack of making me cry at the drop of a hat. Love this.
Try watching Warren sing it.
Warren was a one of a kind....just like David Sanborn, RIP both.
Im sure they are jamming upstairs...
In case nobody noticed... the sax player is the virtuoso, David Sanborn, thank you Eddie for this tribute to a legend, and for allowing me to believe
Thought that looked like him. Also a often Letterman first. Thanks for confirming.
OMG Eddie takes it to a different level altogether. We need this right now. Pearl Jam is like therapy for me. Now with my husband having advanced cancer and I'm the one taking care of us and our business , it's hard to keep yourself in check and going. Music heals..

That's what I love about David Lettermen - He's not afraid to show his vulnerabilities and heart.
One of the greatest covers ever done
Eddie has one of those voices that literally gives me goosebumps. Thank You Divine Spirit for the gift.
Eddie Vedder singing this beautiful song is amazing. I love everything about it & how it makes me feel. ♥️
Man this one gets me. I played Man of the Hour at my dads funeral. Love Eddies voice. Such raw emotion and passion. Great cover.
One of the saddest but loving songs…
Make me cry. I love Warren Zevon
Great song.... "Nobody gets out alive"... Thanks for posting.
This is one of the best covers I have ever heard...and it’s not even as good as the original. That says a lot. Nothing can touch the original, but damn this version is so insanely good. I never could’ve imagined that anyone could possible do this song justice. But Eddie did.
Jimmy I don’t know where you went or why you left us. 1/2 of me is still gone.

I promised to protect you !
I’m older it should have been me.
I ❤ U
beautiful. "when you get up in the morning and see that crazy sun"
His voice, I have no words.😮
I love this, so beautiful !!! Eddie Vedder your voice souls the soul ❤️
Smiles, absolutely beautiful indeed Colleen, feels really great listening, how are you doing?
Eddie makes this very special. Still miss Warren though
Love you Eddie , hearing your voice always leaves a lump in my throat
Never was a big Pearl Jam/ Eddie Vedder fan but my god he did this justice and it hit the soul just as hard as Warren's version did.
Made me cry. Lost my husband to lung cancer in Oct. This hit my heart so deep.....
God bless you and hold you with His comfort thru the tears.
rebmon, please see my reply to Allen C. Liles above. I offer you the same sympathy and wishes for your beloved husband. Remember him forever in love!
May your husband’s memory, and WZ’s, continue to endure as blessings. Despite the tragedies, the music lifts up us all, now and always.
Never met him. He's in my heart tonight.
Thinking of you rebmon100 because October will be coming up. Peace be with you still.
"Hold me in your thoughts, take me to your dreams
Touch me as I fall into view
When the winter comes keep the fires lit
And I will be right next to you"
Eddie is the best 💕🇨🇦💕
My father loved Warren. He passed 3 weeks after mom. They were together 65yrs ❤ love is a powerful thing rip momma and daddy
Grandissimo Eddie!!bellissima voce!!melodiosa! Sublime!!!😇😇😇🤩😍😍😍😘😘♥️♥️💖💖💕🎶🎶🎸🎷💯
Beautiful. Got this in Kuwait, apart from my family in 2004/2005. Lovely/ painful.
I remember watching Warren perform this song on on Dave’s show right before his death. It was so beautiful and poignant, but he still had his little humorous streak. It was an unforgettable performance.
I remember Warren's performance of this song, too. This is a perfect song. It wrings every emotion possible out of you. My older son just got married and he picked this song to be played for "the Mom & Son dance," knowing how much I miss his Dad who died too young from kidney failure.
My good mate passed away from cancer in January, 32 years old, for some reason this song makes me think of all the good days playing darts and pool in the pub when we were younger without a care in the world, would give anything to go back to those better and simpler days
What is it about Eddie Vetter that draws us to him... that makes us love him so? Is it his kind & beautiful spirit... a spirit that would make a songbird or even a fragile butterfly trust him enough to willingly light gently in his hand, as WE ALL DO when Eddie takes the stage & begins to sing? Is it his constant breaking & healing heart that he shares with us thru his music? Is it his life... a story from an open book... his struggles thru tragedy, loss & lonliness... to finding love, friendship & spiritual healing as he's grown from boy to man... a story we ALL feel we can relate to & understand? Is it the anger & resentment he once felt & has overcome about people & events throughout his life over which he had no control... or his discovery of the warmth & tenderness that has always lived inside him? Is it his very presence... so uncomplicated, revealing & comforting that he MAKES us WANT to know him? It's ALL of these things. These qualities are his MAGIC. They're the reasons we feel Eddie Vetter is a friend. A close, dear, dear friend who is always welcome. And a friend who will have our love... forever.
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

Eddie - your voice carries on Warren Zevon's legacy through your legacy in an unbelievable way. Wow!
Thank you, Eddie. Thank you, Dave. What a letter perfect tribute both to David Letterman and to Warren. We love you!
Bigtime.
Crystal Zevon Warren will forever be the soundtrack to my life..love you Warren rest easy and thank you for all the joy you gave me
Amen !
Oh Crystal, I’m so glad you heard and liked this! I loved-and love!-your wonderful book about WZ! Plenty of exclamation points here, and all deserved!
I expose this music to my grand kids....I didn't find him until it was to late......with that being said the music will live on because they'll know what true music is thank you Mr Zevon and ty for this tribute
Always loved this song. Ed Ved nailed it
Yes he did!!!
A great farewell song and Eddie definitely does it justice
Enjoy every sandwich and keep this great mans music alive.
Mr. Vedder gets all the credit here. David Sanborn on sax and the amazing back up singers deserve a lot of credit for making this performance magic.
Beautiful and touching, it reminds me of my dear wife Jan that I lost in February.
Bless your heart, Allen. Losing your life mate is one of the most difficult and painful losses in life. You will grieve until the day you die, do not let anyone tell you that you should be over it. You don't get over losing the love of your life. But, don't be maudlin, redirect your heart to wonderful warm memories of your dear wife and life fully as she would no doubt have you do. There is much joy in life!
I’m sorry for your loss. I can’t prove it, but I sense whatever has been joined by love in this world will be reunited in the next. Bless you.
Thanks, Tim. I absolutely believe what you said. I'm now finishing a book about how I still feel connected to my sweetheart, nine months later. I believe our lost loved ones want to reach out to us after they pass.
❤❤❤😔
I just put my kitty to sleep a week ago. I feel my Kitty's spirit coming through. He was my constant companion for 12 years. I miss him so much 😰 Thank you Eddie for bringing this song to me❤️
Shadows are falling and I'm running out of breath
Keep me in your heart for a while
If I leave you it doesn't mean I love you any less
Keep me in your heart for a while
When you get up in the morning and you see that crazy sun
Keep me in your heart for a while
There's a train leaving nightly called, "When all is said and done"
Keep me in your heart for a while
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lo
Keep me in your heart for a while
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lo
Keep me in your heart for a while
Sometimes when you're doing simple things around the house
Maybe you'll think of me and smile
You know I'm tied to you like the buttons on your blouse
Keep me in your heart for a while
Hold me in your thoughts, take me to your dreams
Touch me as I fall into view
And when the winter comes, keep the fires lit
And I will be right next to you
Engine drivers headed north to Pleasant Street
Keep me in your heart for a while
These wheels keep turning but they're running out of steam
Keep me in your heart for a while
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lo
Keep me in your heart for a while
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lo
Keep me in your heart for a while
Keep me in your heart for a while
Songwriters: WARREN WILLIAM ZEVON / JORGE A. CALDERON
Thanks for doing this
Still will never watch RnR HOF induct rappers and minor players while talentless Jann Wenner extends his Zevon grudge- likely for some drunken insult four decades ago-
to deny Crystal, Jordan, Ariel and the rest of us the knowledge that greatness and, yes, genius was finally acknowledged. I think Jackson Browne, Bruce, Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan know a tad more about song-writing than you, Mr. Wenner.
What gorgeous lyrics. Thank you.
This is a beautiful song & as usual, Eddie did an amazing job. My husband loved Warren Z and played drums too. My husband passed away 7 years ago very unexpectedly at 51. The weird part was that him and Warren died within a few minutes of each other and we lived near each other. I hope that Tom (my husband) got to meet Warren and jammed together!! They are both truly missed still
I screwed up royally and I apologize! While this is a great song and Eddie Vedder does an awesome job, I mixed up Mr Zevon with Warren Helms. Mr Helms was the one who passed away on 4/19/11, within minutes of my husband and who played drums. I'm sorry for my f**k up
Levon Helms!! I don't know how I screwed this up so bad!?
