funny enough they sort of based the guitar off of little wing! i assume yk that since you referred the song but in case you didn’t there’s some more knowledge 👍
I was about 14 when Pearl jam played on MTV UK for the first time, and it was actually a friend’s mother who seen them, while we were all at school and recorded the video for us to see later, she loved it and new we all would too, and she was right, been a fan for 30 years now. Might I add my friends mum was in her late 40s at the time and had an awesome taste in music. Thank you Letty and thank you Pearl jam and you chod for doing this song. Love it 😊👏
The song is essentially an anti war anthem. Eddie wrote it about his friends brother who was killed during the gulf war and the letter that came informing the family of his death. Very deep and emotional
Also Eddie's friend was into the Goth stuff, as he is walking he sees an old couple sitting on their front porch and they had an American flag flying, he waved at them but they don't wave back...They just judged the kid by the way he looked. They had know idea why this kid waved at them. The kid waved because he felt for the first time he understood what the flag meant!!!
I just gotta say, this wouldn't have been possible without the great people at Movie Maker, Grease Monkey, and Johny Roamer car shop at 454 Lincoln avenue in richmond, virginia. No but seriously, the ending credits make it even better, a thing of another time, something we will never see again. Thanking youtube, gotta love it.
Pearl Jam is more my kids music era but I like some of their music. This song is in my library of songs to play. Suggest music from my time, Triumph, "Magic Power", " Blinding Light Show/ Moonflower" or Trapeze. "Black Cloud", " Midnight Flyer".
The very first time I heard this song and listened to the guitar intro. I swore I was listening to Jimi Hendrix playing. I understand that people may not agree with me, but that was the vibe I got.
Wow, what a reaction, very heartfelt and very real. Music helped me through periods in my life when nothing else could reach me and everything you said just rings so true. Thank you.
Thank You for putting up the LYRICS. That helps a lot. Eddie Jerome Vedder has an exceptional voice, but I find it hard to understand all the words to many Pearl Jam's songs. So, YES, LYRICS help.
PJ fans correct me if I'm wrong, but this song was never on an album and was never released as a single. It was a B-side to another song, but radio programmers picked it up and started playing it, and that's how it became one of their more well-known songs. (If I had to guess why the record company didn't offer it as a single, it would be because the lyrics are so slurred -- even for Eddie.)
Ive heard this song many, many times ever since it first came out and never really knew what all he was actually saying/singing completely until just now on this video that had the lyrics lol
There really are no lyrics to this song. Eddie is just riffing in the studio but they loved Mike's (lead guitar) music so they put it on a B-side of a single, and if you're at a show, that's one of their main closers and Eddie can sing whatever he wants for wherever they are. No one knows the words, but it's such a favorite for all the fans! ❤️
I never saw the words and I never understood 90% of what he said and I actually think it's better that way. Without understanding the words you get the sense that his voice is another instrument, a beautiful emotional instrument. And the song is better that way
Great reaction brother! Always intelligent and insightful. You should react to Indifference by Pearl Jam. A deep cut but quite possibly IMO their best song
I agree music is medicine. "Sometimes You're the Windshield, Sometimes You're the Bug" from the song The Bug sung by Dire Straits and also Mary Chapin Carpenter th-cam.com/video/q_rbjg2k6cI/w-d-xo.html

Pearl Jam "Once" "In my Tree" "Release" "Animal" "In Hiding" "Given to Fly" "Go" are some good Pearl Jam to react to!
Love,love this song ! Thanks..great commentary
This is the little wing of the 90s!
funny enough they sort of based the guitar off of little wing! i assume yk that since you referred the song but in case you didn’t there’s some more knowledge 👍
Pearl Jam - Rearview Mirror, Tremor Christ, Oceans, Animal to name just a few well worth a listen. 🎵💜🎵
Yeah, i just wanted to see Rearviewmirror, for me it's one of best Eddie lyrics and PJ songs
Classic!!! Sirens and Garden are a couple of Pearl Jam bangers!!
I NEVER KNEW WHAT THE HELL HE WAS SINGING BUT IVE LOVED THIS ONE SINCE IT CAME OUT LOL!!!!!
All well said. For such heavy grunge, rock, whatever, they could always get me in my feelings one way or other.
Ditto
More Pearl Jam please!!!! Dissident, Go, Alive, Deep, Porch, Blood
Epic song! Thanks for reacting! This song live is another level.
First time watching you do this! Happy to see this reaction!!! Fave of mine😃

@@robturner5746 These 2 fella's right here get it ^^^^^
Great job of breaking down this song!!
You nailed it, Chod!!👏👏
The guitar in this is 🔥 Eddie could be saying anything in the song, and it would be emotional 😊 Garden and Given to Fly are fabulous as well.
Pearl Jam Austin City Limits Just Breathe
Love your thoughts on the song. Love this song. I can imagine being out on a boat floating around listening to this as the sun goes down. 💗 🌅
Your response to this song, priceless. I'm having a rough night. Listened to this song, said f it look up reactions. Instant sub
This song is legit, like so many “grunge” era songs. Not just the music, the vocal talent was on another level.
Very well said Bro! Rock On !

yes, it was the b-side of "evenflow", but the japanese import single only.
It's actually on the Jeremy import single along with "Footsteps" which is as amazing as YLB.
Ive heard this song many, many times ever since it first came out and never really knew what all he was actually saying/singing completely until just now on this video that had the lyrics lol
You should check out more Pearl Jam. I just started getting into them and can’t stop 😂
If you like this one you should listen to “Better Man” or “ Don’t Call Me Daughter” from the Vitology Album

There is this amazing performance that you have to watch: Guns and Roses, Knocking on Heaven's Door, live at the Ritz. You won't regret it.
Great reaction brother! Always intelligent and insightful. You should react to Indifference by Pearl Jam. A deep cut but quite possibly IMO their best song
I don't care what say, this is Mikes 2nd greatest solo, right behind Garden.
Well said, good review!

I just assumed they borrowed the lyrics from Hoodie Ledbetter...go figure!
yeah buddy
Stanley Clarke "school days"
Dude your head bopping is off, lol.. And it's ledbetter not bitter.. Keep up the reactions tho..
There's really no lyrics. There kind of is. But he sings it differently almost every time live.
You are a cat. Nice to see your real. Not a spelling error.
Don't know to wear the box or the bag ??
“don’t know whether it’s a box or a bag” it’s about his friends older brother who was unfortunately killed in war this song is rather deep
Where did my comment go? I didn't delete it.
Check out better man if you haven’t already.
