“Jeremy spoke in class today” that line gives you goosebumps when you know the context on what that means.
"Try to erase this from the blackboard"
and
"Daddy didn't give affection, no
And the boy was something that mommy wouldn't wear"
are the two lines that get me in this song.
"Try to erase this from the blackboard" that line is heavy.
Yeah, they had to replace the blackboard because it was permanently stained and broken by the gunshot and resulting, umm... you know... blood and stuff.
I don't think they ever did have another class in that room, even today. I think they specifically remodelled it into storage or something. Any class taught in that room would be unproductive anyway I don't think a kid would be able to concentrate without thinking "This is where that kid in the Pearl Jam song killed himself."
This song is based on a true story of a boy who shot himself in front of his English class. Eddie Vedder read a newspaper article about it and felt compelled to write about it. Powerful video which won numerous awards at the time it came out. If you’re interested in doing more Pearl Jam, I would suggest their other great video, an animated masterpiece of the song, “Do The Evolution”. Or try watching ANY of the songs from their MTV Unplugged concert; especially “Porch”, “State of Love and Trust”, and the classic, “Black”.
That makes more sense with the video, I’ve never seen the unedited version. What’s with the Nazi salutes though? Did he have that ideology?
@@necrogenesis1981 Actually, believe it or not, that gesture was how Americans USED TO salute the flag. It wasn’t always a hateful gesture. It was called the Bellamy salute, after the man who wrote the Pledge of Allegiance. When Hitler began using the same salute though, Congress changed the official way of addressing the flag to placing a hand over your heart. I’m not sure how it’s supposed to be interpreted in the video, but it gives you some context. I don’t believe Jeremy Delle, the boy who killed himself, had any sort of Nazi ideology. He was simply a disturbed 15-year-old.
@@maggieshevelew7579 ah, interesting, Hitler fucked up more than I thought.
I think the usage of the Bellamy salute actually is a reference to outdated ways of doing things - Exactly what you explained, how it changed from being used every day in schools in America to salute a flag and then being used by Hitler as a salute as well - almost drawing a comparison between the two. What seems like a benign hand gesture as a salutation can have a very dark, very dangerous connotation. Also, I think it may be a reference to the rigidity and structure and discipline that is taught in schools, back in the day often through corporal punishment and a kind of tolerance towards bullying of children by adults and other children as a form of "lesson teaching". A kind of commentary on how something as seemingly harmless as saluting a flag can quickly turn into outright Fascism, perhaps?
Also, on Nazi ideology and that symbolism in that context - the character Jeremy from the song becomes hostile in his own mind, envisioning dead people at his feet, cowering to "King Jeremy", a ruthless, vengeful, powerful dictator version of himself who punishes those who dare to transgress his authority that he has created in his own mind to cope with his reality. Basically the polar opposite of a troubled young boy who feels alone, unloved, unnoticed. In this way, Jeremy the character from this song has created a version of himself with very harmful thoughts. Not unlike a Nazi dictator.
Gotta do their MTV Unplugged version of Black. If that one doesn't give you crazy goosebumps you're not human 🍻
I second this.
Look up Jeremy Wade Delle. It's basically who the song is loosely based on.
On the 8th of January, 1991, 15-year-old Jeremy Wade Delle stood in front of his class in Richardson High School, Texas, and shot himself in the head. R.I.P.
Never expected a Pearl Jam reaction, Peal Jam knows how to pull in the listener, and the way how it's told by Eddie Vedder's prespective on the narrative 👌
True story, unfortunately... Powerful song, great reaction!
Eddie was also a singer for temple of the dog. Good songs to react to are say hello 2 heaven and hunger strike. He also has his own songs like the album for the movie into the wild and an album on ukulele called ukulele songs. I recommend Hunger strike, Cant keep (ukulele version), society, hard sun, and whatever else. And if you dont wanna make videos on em then i still recommend trying to listen to it personally. Cant keep (ukulele) is a great example of his vocals too.
I was going to suggest Hunger Strike also
Chris Cornell sings most of the songs on the Temple of the Dog album. Eddie Vedder wasn't even originally part of the project. He was brought in specifically to sing the duo on "Hunger Strike". I'm not sure Eddie even knew Andrew Wood.
Pretty visible goosebumps. Keep going with PJ and go for Porch (Pinkpop 92) or Black (Unplugged 92).
As a long time Pearl Jam fan, I do appreciate how you were able to pick up on a lot of the vibes that "Jeremy" portrayed..."I knew that something was wrong."
This song not only is a deep commentary on Life as a whole, but it is a wonderful demonstration of Pearl Jam's skill as musical storytellers that can invoke raw emotions.
I had not seen such a comment left yet, so I did want to share that the song "Jeremy" is very much based off of a real person and events that happened in the 90's.
Wow, surprised to see Pearl Jam! I'm glad you did this one. It's such a powerful song. Pearl J is one of my all time favorite bands.
He still tours, Eddie Vedder. My favorite in his solo's, Sirens, Live. Love your chills and reaction.
Black MTV Unplugged is another classic!! One of the best live bands ever!!! Peace from New Zealand
I was 15 when this song came out. Back then we didn’t really talk about mental health. Every kid related to this song.
I was in elementary school. I remember hearing it first then seeing the video on MTV. I think it was later banned. I went to the local record store and bought the shirt that went with this song. On the front it has a child playing with crayons and there is a gun laying nearby with the word "choices" and the back has a box of crayons drawn with the black crayon out of the box and broken in half and the back says, "9 out of 10 kids prefer crayons to guns". I was suspended from school for wearing it and banned from ever wearing it again inside of any building in my school district. I was in 4th grade maybe 5th at the time?
I still have the shirt although it is very worn and almost see-through. Bought it in 1992
Awesome moving song about the tragic downfall of relentless bullying
I got goosebumps same exact spot and I've seen this a zillion times over the past several decades.
Oh!! I've already heard this song many times, on the radio. How could I forget?! Lol! 😂
Definitely a serious song for sure though.
this is the story about 15 year old Jeremy Wade Dell who put a gun in his mouth and killed himself in front of his class. He was being bullied at school and gets rejected at home as well. RIP Jeremy Wade Dell. My fave pearl jam song. The video makes its point excellently. take care
MTV censored the shot of him putting it in his mouth so it ends up looking like he killed his class instead.
Man! That completely changes the message.
At one point they ran this version but I think it was banned pretty quickly. I remember seeing this exact version on MTV myself and thinking that it wouldn't last long
You are the first TH-cam person I have watched that actually paid attention to the video, most just listen and not pay attention to what is going on.
Thank you so much for actually watching the video.
Always makes me cry
Man great reaction - you felt it straight away
This is based on a true story…Eddie Vedder sang with Temple of the Dog, Hunger Strike by them is a must
Jeremy 15 yrs old, it did happened in 1991.
I was the female version of Jeremy without a gun or a voice. Just picked on mercilessly until I grew up with zero self esteem. Luckily as an adult I am able to live a normal life. This song came out at the tail end of my schooling and it was surreal!!
Your instant reaction is so sincere and great. You FEEL ánd understand (everything in) the song. 👊
This is from one of the best debut albums of all time. Like up there with Led Zeppelin I. 🙌
I am sorry , but how come as an American you never listen to Pearl Jam, specially this masterpiece ?
I am from.Romania and i was blasting this in 94 at the age of 12. Didn't understood much of the lyrics but the music, the video and Eddie spoke enough for me.
Better later than never, glad you discovered it Try the entire " ten" album, such a classic.
He sounds like the lead singer of disturbed
Voice true raw gritty on point and always recognizable
Topic Still needs to be Addressed today! Very sad! True story… I highly recommend you watch it again on your own with lyrics. React to Black unplugged live MTV. & Even Flow official video but make sure u have the lyrics it’s about a homeless man! ✌🏻☀️ps my 1st reaction to you today & I did subscribe ♥️
It's a true story
Video won 4 awards
Very good reaction. You like this. Good. Now check out Alice in Chains (Rooster video or Man in Box video or Would video or Nutshell like Unplugged video or all those). More Pearl Jam? Check out the video for Porch live at the Pink Pop, it's a lot of fun and shows you who Pearl Jam really is.
Based on a true story
Greatest music video of all time. Vedder is the greatest song writer.
Smashed it
True story 😢
This was based on a true story.
I agree suicide needs to be discussed more. It’s still a topic people don’t want to talk about as a result people considering ending their life don’t feel like they can talk with anyone about it.
Sometimes the end is cutout but I don’t think it should be sugarcoated. People need to know what happens to a mentally ill person who isn’t getting help.
This was based on a true story, and last I paid attention, Jeremy's parents didn't like the song or video.
If your kid shot his self in front of his class and died you probably wouldnt like hearing it every 5 seconds.
The parents felt that they were being accused of child neglect and abuse when the song was really just loosely inspired by the story of the real life Jeremy. The band didn't intend to cause problems for the family, it was just a thing that happened because of the way the media latched onto it. I can see the parents' point from their perspective but I can also see the band's point from their perspective. The song and video needed to be made
They don't kill them selves like Jeremy did but most kill others .
Ooooh but we unleashed a lion.
Yea it's based on a true story of a 15 year old Jeremy.
Real person Jeremy Wade Dell
Janeys got a gun, Aerosmith
Too many latch key kids 30 years ago. I see Gen X parents really learning from their experience and making sure they don’t make the same mistakes. Jeremy was a real 15 yo boy in Texas in the early 1990’s. Lots of articles about him.
This song is not much without the video.... so powerfully sad
There was a boy named Jeremy
True story about a boy who committed suicide.
This was sadly based on a true story.
Hell yeah! I'd love to see you dip into some completely different scenes, like some old school emo from the 90s. There's a band called Sunny Day Real Estate, their Pink Album/LP2 is a gold mine. I'd reccomend a reaction to the song J'Nuh. I think you'd find the feels on that song are extraordinary. Found you through the Korn reactions and your content is great.
Not a fictitious story. Eddie doesn't write fictitious songs.
The song and video were prescient. But also naive. Jeremy only killed himself...
Jeremy only kills himself in the video as well, the censored version that replaced this one on MTV edits in a way where he appears to have shot his classmates but in this one it is obviously Jeremy's blood on the other kids
