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.
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
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.
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. 😢
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!!
David Letterman is the GOAT of both late night comedy, but also promoting and supporting musicians he knew were great and giving them the stage to shine for larger audiences.
@@richardpetzoldt5284 I like your comment, but Waren sang it from the point of his own mortality. Yes Vedder sings it beautifully..... that's all... it's just a bigger glorious production.
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❤️
i haven't heard Warren's version in years because it's so beautiful it makes me sob, i mean ugly cry. I do love Eddie, so I decide to watch it. Started to sob toward the end. This is such a honest and pure song that makes it so powerful. At Warren's last appearance on Dave's show, Warren gave Dave one of his guitars.
Wow this is beautiful. I have a hard time getting through this song often. I discovered zevon as an icon just before he passed. He’s been a part of me since.
Beautiful, breathtaking. Eddie Vedder is always so passionate and gracious. The back up singers vocals are just as beautiful . Lovely performance. David Lettermen has great taste in musicians and music. Thank you.✌️😘🦆
My 89 year old mother died two weeks after "The Wind" -- the album with "Keep Me in Your Heart" -- was released. I couldn't help but have "Keep Me in Your Heart" played at her funerals service. Not a dry eye in the house. "Keep Me in Your Heart" was the first song Warren Zevon wrote after being diagnosed with terminal cancer and the very last song he ever recorded. As with so many of his compositions, "Keep Me in Your Heart" combines touching, heartfelt lyrics with a beautiful melody. Warren Zevon was so much more than "Werewolves of London."
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.
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.
i have always had a soft spot in my heart for Warren though i wasn't a big fan...he was so real to me...he was vulnerable...Eddie paid him a fine tribute here!
I have always been a big fan of Warren and Dave. Loved this song from Warren's last album "The Wind" and had this song played at my father's funeral, who also died from lung cancer. Eddie Vedder did a Great Job here and is a true professional. RIP Warren and Dad
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
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 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 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.
Eddie is The greatest singer songwriter of our time there's no doubt about it he can cover anything and his original / collaborative material is phenomenal. He certainly does this song justice....
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
When my wife passed away in 2016, she had made it quite clear that this song had to be included in any service. A brother-in-law also sang some songs her siblings and I had selected: Neil Young’s When God Made Me, Peter Mayer’s Blue Boat Home, and Dylan’s You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go. He did a fine job, but I insisted they play the track from The Wind; I knew in my heart she wouldn’t like a cover. I just stumbled across this version yesterday and immediately got tense, but after the first verse, I was completely taken. Mr. Vedder does an incredible job: restrained, solemn and affected but not melodramatic - everything about his performance draws attention to the words, and because of that, he is a wonderful vessel for them. Thank you all. Does the complete concert exist somewhere?
The beauty of music, how powerful of a song this is . Thank you Warren Zevon. Thank you Eddie for always being there . My friend through all the years that I have been on this earth . It’s songs like these that make me keep my dad in my heart for awhile.

I miss Warren zevon. And David sanborn. I didn’t know your dad, obviously, but the way you talk about him makes me miss him more than my heroes
I'm listening to Eddie Vedder sing this beautiful Warren Zevon song, reading the comments, bawling. Humanity can be such a powerful, wonderful thing.
Who ever is missing someone, stay strong!
Thanks
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.
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.

I’m guessing you have not read the book, I’ll sleep when I’m Dead. If you had, your post would be different.

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

One of the greatest Eddie Vedder performances of his career by one of the great American songwriters. RIP Warren.
We sang this at the funeral of my brother-in-law. Hearing this again keeps Donald in my heart.
It's amazing how Eddie Vedder can literally sing anyone's song and do it justice or even make it seem better.
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

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.

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?
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

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
Keep Chris Cornell up there with Eddie!
WARREN ZEVON - MASTER of MESSAGES - Rest In Peace Warren - Thank you for the MUSIC
I thank JACKSON BROWN for getting you "started"
Is there anything Eddie can't do? This is so beautiful ....
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.
I fight suicide with the power of Warren Zevon’s music. Eddie ... thank you for staying my hand.

credit to paul for the perfect arrangement and eddie for the perfect delivery on this. he took it seriously
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
Dave's choice of music has always been really good! I miss the band performances at the lateshow.
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.
Eddie has that uncanny knack of making me cry at the drop of a hat. Love this.
Try watching Warren sing it.
Great song.... "Nobody gets out alive"... Thanks for posting.
This man sings like he is the song, performers and their music living in and through him.
Played this song at my brothers funeral. Not a dry eye in the room.
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
Eddie is such an Honorable Man .... just a huge love for him.
Ditto
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.
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.

Right on, man.

A great tribute to America's Best and most underplayed artist R.I.P Warren
One of the greatest covers ever done
Sanborn participating in this brings the tears....
Warren was one of the greatest songwriters to ever grace this planet. Letterman for sure has excellent taste!
Warren's farewell song, totally beautiful and moving !
My Mom passed almost three years ago and whenever I hear this song I know “I’ve got this.”
Eddie Vedder singing this beautiful song is amazing. I love everything about it & how it makes me feel. ♥️
Amazing ! Warron Zevon one of the all time greats ! And what a beautiful version by Eddie Vedder - So honest and heartfelt )
*song starts* "Oh, this is nice."
*10 seconds later:* "[crying]"
The only thing to do....
I'd be lying if I didn't say the same.
I had wet eyes while I was scrolling the comments, then I saw this one. So true.
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 one of those voices that literally gives me goosebumps. Thank You Divine Spirit for the gift.
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!!!
Eddie is connected to another dimension.
E K Oh I absolutely believe it too !!!
well yeah (yes)
Huh?
Immortality.
Eddie Vetter that was a Beautiful song! I'm sure Warren Zevon enjoyed it as well. I know Dave did.
Thank you, ✌🌼🌹
Smiles, absolutely beautiful indeed Lisa, feels really great listening, how are you doing?
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.
I'm crying like an imbecile: this is my absolute favorite Zevon song.
Beautiful cover.
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.
David Letterman is the GOAT of both late night comedy, but also promoting and supporting musicians he knew were great and giving them the stage to shine for larger audiences.
Eddie Vedder is going to sing a Warren Zevon song? Yeah, I got a few hundred boxes of tissues here. Let's do this. Take it away Eddie...
Richard Petzoldt: Nah. But it's close.
@@richardpetzoldt5284 I like your comment, but Waren sang it from the point of his own mortality. Yes Vedder sings it beautifully..... that's all... it's just a bigger glorious production.
Still crying

Agreed. But 1992 Ed would destroy this. 1992 Ed destroyed everything.
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❤️
That's what I love about David Lettermen - He's not afraid to show his vulnerabilities and heart.
i haven't heard Warren's version in years because it's so beautiful it makes me sob, i mean ugly cry. I do love Eddie, so I decide to watch it. Started to sob toward the end. This is such a honest and pure song that makes it so powerful. At Warren's last appearance on Dave's show, Warren gave Dave one of his guitars.
Warren we miss you so much...hope you are enjoying every sandwich in heaven
Enjoy every sandwich indeed! 🙏
Warren knew that only Jesus gives us emotional hygine. And he is there now with Him.
msilverstein47 amen
Well spoken my friend.
Every sandwich? Odd.
Wow this is beautiful. I have a hard time getting through this song often. I discovered zevon as an icon just before he passed. He’s been a part of me since.
Beautiful, breathtaking. Eddie Vedder is always so passionate and gracious. The back up singers vocals are just as beautiful . Lovely performance. David Lettermen has great taste in musicians and music. Thank you.✌️😘🦆
Thank you 🌻
Eddie - your voice carries on Warren Zevon's legacy through your legacy in an unbelievable way. Wow!
Grandissimo Eddie!!bellissima voce!!melodiosa! Sublime!!!😇😇😇🤩😍😍😍😘😘♥️♥️💖💖💕🎶🎶🎸🎷💯
My 89 year old mother died two weeks after "The Wind" -- the album with "Keep Me in Your Heart" -- was released. I couldn't help but have "Keep Me in Your Heart" played at her funerals service. Not a dry eye in the house.
"Keep Me in Your Heart" was the first song Warren Zevon wrote after being diagnosed with terminal cancer and the very last song he ever recorded. As with so many of his compositions, "Keep Me in Your Heart" combines touching, heartfelt lyrics with a beautiful melody. Warren Zevon was so much more than "Werewolves of London."
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.
Great job by Eddie V. Amazing song that gets me everytime.
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!
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.
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.
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.
i have always had a soft spot in my heart for Warren though i wasn't a big fan...he was so real to me...he was vulnerable...Eddie paid him a fine tribute here!
I have always been a big fan of Warren and Dave. Loved this song from Warren's last album "The Wind" and had this song played at my father's funeral, who also died from lung cancer. Eddie Vedder did a Great Job here and is a true professional. RIP Warren and Dad
Awesome version Eddie,Warren is SO proud.
My father loved Warren. He passed 3 weeks after mom. They were together 65yrs ❤ love is a powerful thing rip momma and daddy
Just lost my Dad, my best friend, and forever loved and this song sums it up- if I leave you it doesn't mean I love you any less-
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!?
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 oooozes sole and the sax player is phenomenal as are the backup singers. If you loved Warren Zevon this song brings a tear. So well done!
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 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.
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?
If I leave here it doesn't mean I love you any less. Jesus, man. Excellent cover.
Eddie is The greatest singer songwriter of our time there's no doubt about it he can cover anything and his
original / collaborative material is phenomenal. He certainly does this song justice....
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
I'm having one of those moments when the hair stands up and the goosebumps are popping.
When my wife passed away in 2016, she had made it quite clear that this song had to be included in any service. A brother-in-law also sang some songs her siblings and I had selected: Neil Young’s When God Made Me, Peter Mayer’s Blue Boat Home, and Dylan’s You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go. He did a fine job, but I insisted they play the track from The Wind; I knew in my heart she wouldn’t like a cover. I just stumbled across this version yesterday and immediately got tense, but after the first verse, I was completely taken. Mr. Vedder does an incredible job: restrained, solemn and affected but not melodramatic - everything about his performance draws attention to the words, and because of that, he is a wonderful vessel for them. Thank you all. Does the complete concert exist somewhere?
Had the luck to see Warren perform twice... what a good and talented man he was :-( Eddie does a fantastic job here.
The beauty of music, how powerful of a song this is . Thank you Warren Zevon. Thank you Eddie for always being there . My friend through all the years that I have been on this earth . It’s songs like these that make me keep my dad in my heart for awhile.
