I have known the words for years.
We all have had our heart broken. Life breaks your heart.
Artists have near perfect memories. So for us it is especially hard to let go of a love and in most times we can’t just jump into another relationship.
I for example take a long time to recover from a lost love and it typically takes at least 9 years.
If you know anything about perfect memories then you will also know it is a curse at times.
I know it’s not your usual genre to react to, but I’d love to see your reaction and know your thoughts on “you don’t care for me enough to cry” by John Moreland. One of the best “I feel the emotion” songs I’ve heard in the last decade.
Honestly this chord progression, the melodies and build in this song are so good you could write damn near anything over it and it’d be profound, Vedder takes it over the top with his lyrics and vocal delivery, great vocalist and frontman
I connected with this song the first time I listened to “10” in 1991 and it still moves me today. Another emotive masterpiece of relationship loss a epic performance is “ je suis malade” by Lara Fabian. The video is subtitled and is truly amazing, you love to experience your reaction and analysis
Give ‘Porch’ from the same performance if you can!!!
Unreal!!!
Embrace the hardship, it is your friend, if it is not your friend showing you another way, it will completely destroy you, or who you think you are and who/what you could become, embrace it, hold it close, make apologies, tell it you love it, whatever…then let it go
He came to set the captives free. Alleluia!
This was always my favourite song, but since almost a year ago, it has gained quite a new level of power for me. Having been horribly betrayed by the woman who was my first love, after a full decade of being together, conquering cancer, burn-out and so much more; having the relationship end suddenly and unexpectedly while planning a wedding and making plans for having a child… yeah, that’s quite turned everything to black. Finding my way in the world again after that is a damn near impossible process, and in terms of ever finding a future with someone else… just nah. As I sit here with tears in my eyes yet again, I realise that things aren’t getting any better in that regard and that part of me has shriveled up and died.
One of my fave reaction for this song. Please do November Rain by Guns N’ Roses
If you pay attention to Eddie’s body language, you can see that he went back to that place during this performance.
Don’t know Brian from home team and guessing Brian looks like him cause this early 90s
I don’t think anyone could perform this song this way unless they lived it. So raw, passionate and heartfelt.
I lost my Granny (my person) in '94, I was 16. This song! I cannot fathom the number of times I locked myself in my room or went driving backroads and just felt these words and let that pain burn hot. It has always been the biggest bucket list of mine to see this live. I finally got to see Pearl Jam last weekend, traveled from Nashville to Chicago, and they didn’t play it . However, seeing them was still amazing. I did pull up a video where they had performed it just 2 nights before and it lacked that raw emotion that Unplugged portrays to its fullest. That’s the version my soul needed. Living in that moment of knowing and appreciating that I made it through that darkness and I now have and enjoy such a beautiful life!! If you’re in a dark place, please know it does get better. It may take years, but your beautiful life is coming.
Currently forced too see my ex-wife of 11 years move on with a new man and hear my kids talk about how great he is.
Fucking sucks, even tho I harbour no love for her anymore.
You made a comment about not going through pain alone. I wish you would react to “Walk with me in hell” by Lamb of God. Its such an incredibly powerful song.
I heard he had a chest cold while doing this and also he doesn’t like doing this song
Great advice. I never get tired of watching people react to this song.
With all due respect, heartbreak isn’t enough to solicit an ultimate negative response. For me, I measure my depression over a 43 year time period encompassing a myriad of shortcomings that culminate in a loss of humanity. It’s my life and I’ll do what I like. Please, I beg everyone reading this to find their peace. Not for anyone other than themselves.
