Hi USA. Some few songs from France. I love Eddie, Chris and Kurt me too and Dave too “The blackness is an emptying of the relationship in your life.” Emptying of relationship whith my dady. Mum blind person. As Eddie says in: “I am mine” Selfish persons. So when you’ve only knew selfish persons in your young years, it’s your reference and you logiquely choos a selfish wife. But if it’s your reference is not necessarily you. Kiss from France everybody. PS: I understand for the Eddie’s voice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmKI_zq1Zyw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQdX009HruI
I’ve gone to every Pj concert ever in Boston Eddie kills it! I’m lost cause my ex and I never missed but the black is are song but after 23 years I’ve realized he’s a joke thanks Eddie will always respect Pearl Jam
The love of my life left me ten yrs ago when I was at the pinnacle of my existence the best version me the worlds ever seen, I went through a decade in prison for what a lot ppl considered me a hero and that my act was noble, I risked my life and ultimately my freedom to save someone else, and at the time NY had the death penalty and they were initially looking for it, the ADA was trying to get elected judge so all these details were omitted from my Media portrayal, I was made out to be a depraved villain. Then the ADA was elected judge n a new ADA presided over n went over the case from both sides Meticulously and was like wait a minute you’ve remanded for almost 2yrs on rikers island a man who was protecting a 7yr old girl, we r gonna get him time served n do what’s right. Charles Hynes the DA saw it differently he said it was big news and to release me would embarrass the office so he offered 5-15yrs and I had to take it on personal advice from the judge, I served 10yrs n was released from parole a year early, I had a great career I went to school for my only vice was coffee and I was an elite strength athlete that ate like a bodybuilder, I was 220lbs with about 8% bodyfat all year round and treated my love like a goddess she Met someone that was super rich but I was out of prison 4yrs n already making almost 100k annually n gave hér everything she wanted and more , I thought we’d b together 1,000yrs then one day she was gone and 10yrs later everything is still washed in black. Some heartbreaks never heal.
It’s one of my favorite songs. Check out “Present Tense” and “Rearview Mirror”
I know someday you’ll have a beautiful life, I’ll know you’ll be the star in somebody else’s sky. Why. Why. Whyyyyy couldn’t it be mine
Hope you get to see them if you haven’t. I just saw them again. Eddie and Pearl Jam are amazing
I was a teenager living in an abusive home when this album came out… I played it constantly - the pain, the loss, the anger and desperation expressed in their music was so meaningful and made me feel less alone. To this day, I’m completely transported when I hear this album, and it’s painful, but still so comforting.
My oldest kid mother passed about 15 years ago. That star in someone else’s sky always gets me. 15 years feels like an eternity ago but the pain feels like it just happened yesterday.
MTV believed it took a risk with Unplugged, but I am very glad they did. Such great, pure performances of great bands back then.
“Stop watching their Instagram stories” is funny to me though, as advice inspired by a 1992 performance.
Thanks for your work. I dated a woman in 1991 and by 1999 we were hitched. I so loved her . Unfortunately I developed alcoholism and we were done in 5 years of marriage. I never had 10 as a CD. So when we were divorcing I suggested that the dim star in the big dipper be a legacy a symbol of our time together, she put the kibosh on that. Probably for the best but not getting a star in the sky to share tattooed my world to Black.
its an amazing song witch means a lot to a lot of people every time I hear it it reminds me of my wife and daughter
I’m straight and Eddie gave me feelings lol
Eddie Vedder is in person just as you hope. Humble, shy and lovely man.
Well spoken truth. You truly are talented. I would love to have you as my therapist.
At 52 years old, I am living this song… I threw a hand grenade into the middle of my life to be with a woman, who was and is, truly the great love of my life. We are not together, and now I have moved across the country leaving everyone and everything I know, and completely starting over again to try and escape the pain. The pain however is unescapable. The permanent blackness, the loss, the emptiness, is unescapable. I feel this song. Deeply, spiritually, I feel this song. What you said about allowing everything to go black, is what I have not been capable of doing yet. We still communicate, and it rips the scab off every time.
I grew up in 80s and 90s and their was a vibe like 10 summers of love. And band after band after band. All. New and bad ass. Watching a new music come in is it can’t happen again because of the fish bowel
My heart has many scares, and not one was left by my enemies! You talk of healing, there is no healing men just try and find answers. I never understood how a woman can say they love you to not giving a damn. But I do know they had a plan B before they left.
This song is about his long, lost father…not a love interest.
When you get that, you understand the depth of his understanding of the complexities of the world, and relationships.
The song is allegory. One person’s interpretation can be another’s exposure.
This is why it’s so beautiful. Words can be supposed through many different interpretations.
It really is beautiful, truly. A Choon I default to, over and over again.
It sits with me because I know that feeling. I have been suffering through it for 4 years.
I think that darkness takes over probably ally of people in some way forever. I know when my daughter’s mom left us after we were together for 7 years and had 2 kids and she ya know, cheated and left me with our 8 month old and 3 year old. At the time, I was making the presidents list every year in college but when she left, i dropped out of college with 9 credit hours left. Didn’t give a fuck. I begged my mom to come get them for a while because I could not care for them because I could not even get out of bed. I cried hysterically for three months straight and now I mean, things are good. I have my kids on your mindset would be awesome, but I never recovered from that, it always almost broke me but… ya know that’s probably just my stupid thinking. But I used to have so many hobbies and be so happy with life but now im kinda scared I’m getting worse but I’ll fine for real. Life sucks but mine is somewhat decent lol
“I know someday you’ll have a beautiful life, i know youll be the star in someone elses sky, but why cant it be mine?” That has stuck with me for years. Beautiful but painful at the same time.
My first loves comes to mind. Every time.
