#PearlJam #Black #Cover - เพลง
*I know someday you’ll have a beautiful life. I know you’ll be a star in somebody else’s sky, but why can’t it be mine.* those are probably the heaviest lyrics about heartache you can ever hear.
Confirmed.
I’ve always felt that way, too. That line hits so hard.
Agreed.
They sometimes, take a lifetime to learn., But should be full of love.😎archive
John Keats... look up bright star
After a few listens I changed my mind. Black is a song thats been with me since its release. You dont hear “Black”. You feel it. You can feel it. She did do it perfectly.
I discovered it through "Aludio AI cover Jeff Buckley" - I jumped on it like the addict that I am. Sorry if you hate it, it feels totally wrong.
@@snoozieboi I dont hate it. Its the best cover of a Pearl Jam song ive ever heard. It just took a few listens for me to really get the feel for it. It is a beautiful rendition for sure.
Well said 👏
I'm just trying to wash dishes but I guess I don't need the tap, I'll just use my tears. LOVE THIS. My favorite song
I never knew how heartbreaking the lyrics to this song were until today.
I’m gonna listen
you should listen to the acoustic MTV version from pearl jam aswell
No, no NOOOOO. This is already the most heartbreaking song ever, you can't do this to me!
I agree.. and the Original breaks my heart every Freakin'time
Truth.
This and "Hurt" by Johnny Cash have the same sad energy
@@MrSottho Hurt is a Nine Inch Nails cover if you didnt know. Theres a live version performed by them thats on a different level. Live beside you in time i think is the name.
@@dirtnap9641 We all know that but the original and the cover have different vibes and Johnny Cash's is pure unfiltered sadness.
The original is one of my favourite songs ever. 1m40s in and I'm already impressed, this is outstanding. Thank you for this beautiful rendition.
So happy you enjoyed it Paulo!
Agreed!!
It's a song I don't listen to lightly.
So grateful for people appreciating such Art
My favorite song of all time... I was 16 when I saw the unplugged show in ‘92... incredible
"And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass of what was everything" one of many heart wrenching lines in this song.
I played this song on repeat for a girl named Misty Hoshaw in1995 when I was 15. I've grown up now, but everytime I hear this song I still feel the crushing loss of the day we broke up. It's such a magical and lonely kind of nostalgia.
Thank you.
The original Black hits hard but this version tore heart strings i did'nt know i had.
That's because this version expresses the sadness of the original, but not the anger. The original is seething this is lamenting. That's why it invokes such a different reaction.
It starts out... the music. That single note on the piano. And that voice. My GOD that voice... from another time. And then the rest of the instruments. And at first you think "okay, this is an interesting rendition" and lift a single eyebrow as it continues. Intriguing. By the start of the chorus you're invested. Okay, I'll bite. What gives? The cymbal taps and the strings, and that heavenly voice. And as Cortine grabs you and won't let go for the end of the first round of the chorus and the hint of power is gone in a rush for the quiet of the bass and piano note plunks. And then the angel comes back. Walks next to you. It's okay now. Walk with me? Oh wait... twisted thoughts that spin.. round my head? What is this? This... maelstrom of emotion... where are we going?! Again?! My heart! And it builds. And builds. The vibrato. The love gone bad! Tattooed all I see! All that I ammmm.... and quiet again. Doo-doo-doot-dooo, dooo-doot dooo.... wait. Here we go again! A star... in somebody else's sky! WHY?! WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME?! And suddenly it's all over... standing alone again on the beach of life while the roiling emotion of ocean retreats once again.
Thank you PMJ and Cortnie for the ride. Absolutely exquisite.
This is one of those songs where you're like
"DON'T f**k with my song man it's too close to me"....
But this rendition man... blew me away like the first time i heard the original...
If the song is great it survives arrangement to a new style.
This rendition is so beautiful, I wonder if Pearl Jam has seen it
My skin is vibrating, my eyes are tearing, and my ears are drowning in the rise and fall of her voice, an absolute angel.
This made the song sadder for me. Beautiful rendition. Needs to be in a movie.
I was thinking the same .
4:51 Such an elegant way to break my heart. Those lines still hit hard regardless of genre. And the ending was just perfect.
God she's such a good vocalist. Such a combo of singing skills and feelings, this is so cool
I love PMJ, it’s such a beautiful place on the vast internet. It’s a gem in quarantine for me! Thank you!
This was absolutely delightful to listen to. As a Pearl Jam fan, this is just..beautiful. My gosh..her voice wraps around the notes like a warm blanket and the arrangement is top notch. I love the strings. Bravo to all!
Great description!
This song is one of the hidden gems of the Grunge era. PMJ, you've taken that gem and polished it to a magnificently melancholy sparkle for a new generation. Heartache never sounded so good. Thank you...be safe, keep warm, stay cool.
Hidden gems?
It was one of Pearl Jam's biggest songs chart wise and it was never released as a single!
@@xtlm EXACTLY!!
Wasn’t really hidden. Was pretty much in your face haha
@jjwankenobi I do love this rendition as well. Since you seem fond of the bittersweet combo of heartache and awesome musical talent like myself, I recommend you watch (if you haven't already) The Drug in Me is You by Falling in Reverse (2011?) And then check out their latest rendition of it titled The Drug in Me is Reimagined (2020?). I bawled the first 20 times I watched it probably and I'm not a crier at all. I recommend watching them both in that order so you can fully appreciate it and the evolution of Ronnie Radke the lead singer.
@@xtlm well, Pearl Jam sure tried to hide it, no single, no video, and still it got so big that Eddie Vedder regrets even making it
OMG! How beautiful! I can't help crying whenever I listen to it! Congratulations for every musician! Inspiring!
The original is amazing, but this is downright hauntingly beautiful.
I agree
Thank you for this. Black was one of my father's favorite songs, and recently he passed away due to corona virus infection. I only wish he could hear this masterpiece
These are such uncertain times for all of us, hopefully the days ahead will be less...black.
So sorry to hear about your father, Felipe. ✌️
I’m so sorry. 😢
I'm so sorry. I lost my Da two years ago. It hurts still. Be kind to yourself while you grieve, and don't let anyone tell you you're grieving wrong.
Sending light, love and strength your way Felipe, all the way from the Philippines!
Where are you from, Felipe? So sorry for your loss!
I've watched all the postmodern jukebox videos. This is the best one. They're all good. Some better than others. But this one, this one's phenomenal. And the singer is outstanding.
Amen. I listened to the first 30 seconds then ran into the other room to tell my wife, "Stop what you're doing, and come listen to this." I've never done that for a song before. Incredible.
Um ma’am, no. You gotta warn people about the emotional rollercoaster here. I’m smiling and crying rewinding and crying again. My spirit shoved me out the way just to listen to this!!!!
Every "Why" that she sang almost opened my chest. Flesh and bone.
Thank you for your honesty
@@avidnongetit8710 sure
Dang, every "why" fell a little flat for me. Was hoping she would have gotten the last one a little harder
this song always makes me think of my daughter - I lost her in may 2019....she had a little room in our basement that she used as an art studio....now it just has sheets of empty canvas
Sending love & light 💜🔆
Warm hugs to you. 💔💝💗💞💕
My deepest sympathies and condolences.
Big hug to you, JD S... You're not alone 💓💓
thank you all
it's something you never get over - just find a way to live with
....I am the storm
That “All ill be” is just perfect. It really is a beautiful cover. This is a Masterpiece. A true work of Art. The first chorus grabs you and its over. That “All ill be” though,,,,,Perfection.
Wow, that made me cry tears of sadness. I never really paid attention to the lyrics of this song until I heard it sung like this.
My compliments to the whole PMJ ensemble on this one😉👍
Beautifully, devastatingly, despondent. Who hasn't felt this way before?
God I LOVE this Song
I can't count the times I yelled/sung it after leaving work..or a relationship Crashed...like O I knew it would
Postmodern Jukebox always makes me happier whenever they release a new video! This song is awesome as usual! Thank you so much and stay safe!
Glad you enjoyed it :)
@@postmodernjukebox 😥😥😥
I needed to watch this 4 or 5 times. Not cos I didnt like it, but for its beauty to sink in. Been a Pearl Jam fanatic since about 94'-95'. Black is my favorite song of all time. PJM and Cortnie you are all fabulous. Bravo.
This song was played at my nephew's funeral, and means the world to me. This version is absolutely beautiful. Thank you.
This is one of those performances that only come along every so often, that are so transcendental and breathtaking you're left speechless...
Achei que ninguém conseguiria acrescentar mais melancolia e sentimento nesta música ..e vocês conseguiram ❤ é perfeita essa versão 😢❤️❤️❤️
Eu pensei que não tinha como deixar essa música melhor. Até encontrar esse vídeo.
😮 não gostei ñ.. adoro orquestra!... mas ñ gostei da escolha da levada vocal.. tô pensando como uma galera tão gabaritada conseguiu estragar um rock tão bonito.. rsrs só uma opinião irreverente, viu. Perfeita é a original mesmo!
I can see Eddie's smirk while singing this in 94 glimpsing at this smirk in front of the crowd of 6 figures in the cold air without a single person cold from the inner warmth each of their hearts were over flowing with.
My goodness... This song has so much history with me. I stopped listening to it so long ago. I cannot describe how hard this hits even this far removed from that history. But it is now someday, and I do have that beautiful life. Fantastic job, truly. This is catharsis for me.
I feel you!
Glad you got that sky.
Outstanding arrangement. Interesting to hear how hard a quality singer has to work, it really shows what a great vocal Eddie did on the original. 👏
This is one of my all times favorite songs. It has so much meaning to me. I was afraid when I saw this at first. I must say that I love this rendition. I love what you guys did with it. Thanks for this.
I can not stop listening to this song! Please do more work with Cortnie Frazier, her vocals are incredible, and an excellent match for PMJ!
I did not think this song could be any more heartbreaking and depressing--it was already a "rip my heart out and stomp all over it before burning it." But wow--you managed to make it even more so--and I mean that in a good way. I can watch this over and over and over and not be depressed!
Knocked it out of the park, again. And her voice is truly perfect for this. Can’t wait to hear it again!
My favourite PJ song but this haunting homage to the original gives me goosebumps. Adore.
Wow. It’s much better than I expected….
I'm not even sad for anything in my life, but I'm crying just for the emotion this performance brings. Like watching a movie, we can see the whole story here through the character's POV and feel as they feel. Mind-blowing.
I am amazed with this performance. Black is one of my favorites songs and Cortnie Frazier just nail it with this incredible performance. I got chills here.
Please, do more rock and metal songs, I love it. And, if's not too much, I'd like to request songs from Evanescence, specially Imaginary 🖤
Or "losing my religion" by REM
@@TheJD888 that's a very good one. I'd love to hear a PMJ cover for that one. Must be as good as Lacuna Coil cover.
@@TheJD888 : I'd love to hear PMJ do it. But Puddles has done an excellent version, check it out.
Freakin' A!
The instrumentation and her singing capture all the emotional intensity of the original. Well done, from a die-hard PJ & PMJ fan!
Thank you Emily 🙌🙌
@@postmodernjukebox I was thinking the same. I like when your remakes change the arrangement as well as actually match the mood of the lyrics.
I can't believe more people haven't discovered this gem.
People who don’t like covers haven’t heard these.
Love this so much
Wow! What a cover! It gave me the chills listening to it!
Thanks Daniel 😊 Happy to hear you enjoyed it!
this is my sister's favorite Pearl Jam song. I love this rendition. I get chills with both versions
I take a walk outside, I'm surrounded by some kids at play, I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear? Thank you Eddie for such fantastic lyrics.
Something NO ONE can take, alter or
restrict or take away from US. Creativity and Our Faith!!!
I love the space in the piano accompaniment, and the single call and answer between the piano and vocalist of the motif near the climax.
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clayWere laid spread out before me as her body once didAll five horizons revolved around her soul as the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turnMm, and all I taught her was everythingMm, I know she gave me all that she wore
[Chorus]
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black
Tattooed everything
[Verse 2]
I take a walk outside, I'm surrounded by some kids at playI can feel their laughter, so why do I sear
Mm, and twisted thoughts that spin 'round my headI'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning, how quick the sun can drop away
[Chorus]
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures have all been washed in black
Tattooed everything
[Post-Chorus]
All the love gone bad turned my world to blackTattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be, yeah
Mm, mhm, oooh
[Bridge]
I know someday you'll have a beautiful lifeI know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky, but whyWhy, why can't it be, oh, can't it be mine?Ooh, ah yeah, ah, ooh
This song reminds me of my brother in law. He was like my brother, met him at 8 years old and he introduced me to Pearl Jam. He passed away in January from COVID-19 and he was only 47. He was such a happy person full of life.
Definitely one of the best things I've heard in my entire life.
This is one of my favorite Pearl Jam songs, and one that I've always thought never got enough attention. Thank you for this. (Btw, your voice was perfect for this version: you killed it.)
I love pearl jam, but my God, this is just amazing
It's like hearing "Black" again for the first time.
The “And now my bitter hands, cradle broken glass, of what was everything.” Will always break me inside no matter what mood I’m in
This is amazing. She has one of the most pure and beautiful voices I've ever heard. My only disappointment is that I've never heard her before now...
Oh. So that's what the lyrics are.
P.S.- This rendition is actually incredible.
This is what angels would sound like if they sobbed. Beautiful.
Scott Bradlee deserves a ton of credit for the awesome arrangement of this version. I typically don't like people messing with Pearl Jam's songs but this gets an exception due to how great Cortnie is..
I love Eddie Vedder's music, his voice and emotional power. However I can never understand a word he sings. Thank you for this great performance complete with words!!! Beautiful job, everyone!!!!
'
Love it. When this album came out it stayed in my car stereo for a month straight. This is a wonderful re-imagining.
Ohh my God, I don't stop cry. Touch my Soul!
I’m so impressed by talent here. Pure genius on the arrangement and mixing. Beautifully done to an already amazing song. What a voice! ❤️🖤
I'm having an out-of-body experience; this is so good that my flesh can't hold me.
I don’t ever ever comment on videos like ever, but being that this is my all time favorite song i felt that i had to voice my opinion.
breathtaking. everything about this was exceptional.
Oh how I wish everytime I watch this, I could give it a thumbs up
Haunting. Just haunting. Ugh. Just when I didn’t think this song couldn’t crush my soul any more.
That sound you hear is Eddie Vedder slow clapping in quarantine.
Well played
I've heard this song plenty over the years, but haven't *truly* heard this song until it came up randomly on my playlist today - the same day you guys post this beautiful cover.
The universe is an odd place. Keep it up fellas ♥️
this song means a lot to me. I grew up with this song. when this version came out, I'm afraid to herd this version. but now..wow, this is beautiful. It has that soul...
Been looping this rendition for quite some time now, never seems to get old.
Every instrument plays a vital role with such emotion. TY!
Pmj covers = in love immediately on the first note or not your thing and there’s almost no in between. I either have songs I want to play over and over or ones I’ll skip every time because they just weren’t my thing but still amazing pieces of work none the less
Oh my goodness... One of my favorite PJ songs. This rendition portrays a little more despair, at least to me, the more I listen to it. It almost seems like this is the song played as the credits roll at the end of a really sad movie where the protagonist loses everything and it was somehow all in vain.
Thank you PMJ... Please do more.
Oh man.. i dont even know how to explain my feelings. All i can say is.. this is the perfect song for this late night
Best song. Pearl Jam 🐐
so i finally learn what the lyrics are decades later...
LMAO
lol same. Have loved the song forever, never really understood half the words.
Same! And found out how amazing they are!
I made up my lyrics as I mumbled over the original song. Now I can't get my bs lyrics out of my head. I'm a sloppy lyricist. Lol
We all know that enunciation was never Eddie's strong suit.
This's got to be one of the best Pearl Jam covers ever
This performance is literally making me fall in love and shattering me om the inside at the same time.
I am compelled to tell you that this rendition is quite simply magical. Spellbinding. Wonderful.
Last time I was this early a sad clown was singing to me about chandeliers.
Me too. About 3 million subscribers ago! . . . . . and Robyn Adele doing "Thrift Shop".
@@wesalker3479 and "We Cant Stop"
Apparently she's still ringing for her baby down in Saint Denis.
@@wesalker3479 Yeah I remember that, more than seven years ago... good times.
@@wesalker3479 Forgot the Tambourine Guy!
WOW, that rendition of the song turned out far better than I was expecting and beautifully sung!
The piano, OMG why I am in tears!!!!!!!
Omg yesssss🔥❤
I never wanted this song to end
Edit: I just realized they have Vsauce playing Cello
dude 😂
Black
Pearl Jam
Sheets of empty canvas
Untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me
As her body once did
All five horizons
Revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed
Has taken a turn
Oh, and all I taught her was everything
Oh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands
Chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything
Oh, the pictures have
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter
So, why do I sear?
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can drop away?
And now my bitter hands
Cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures have
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything
All the love gone bad
Turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see
All that I am
All that I'll be, yeah
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky, but why? Why? Why
Can't it be, oh, can't it be mine?
A comment for the algorithm, I love the vibrato, the version, the arrangement.
NEVER LISTENED A BETTER SONG COVER. THIS IS TRULY A JEWEL.
This is the perfect song for a sad flashback in a movie.
Wow! Great arrangement and an incredible voice.
just wow. her voice express every emotion
Her voice is so clear, and also I loved this new arrangement of the song :')
It's really beautiful, liberating. Although the original always makes me cry, I love how the atmosphere was carried over. Great voice, great band!
Absolutely Beautiful to the ears and my eyes are watering
My favorite Pearl Jam song 😍🖤💖💜
Damn with the 3/4 and her voice drifting over the top retaining so much of his phrasing..
