Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
#PearlJam #ElderlyWomanBehindtheCounterinaSmallTown #OfficialAudio
I JUST WANT TO SCREAM HELLO
MY GOD IT'S BEEN SO LONG, NEVER DREAMED YOU'D RETURN
But now here you are and here I ammmm...
Oh, hello 🖐🏻
HI!!!!!!
'Sup?!
_Hearts and thoughts they fade… faaade away.._
I really like this part.♡
And this song reminds me of my mom.My hometown that I miss...
"My God it's been so long. Never dreamed you'd return. But now here you are. And here I am.". This is something that I had hoped and wished for, for so many years but had never happened. These lyrics are so beautiful and powerful.
This takes me back. Makes me smile. Makes me cry. Every. Single. Time.
You all are the damn best. I'm honored to have the kind of support that you show me, thank you. How are you doing it is nice meeting you here btw
Eddie what are you doing in lagos,Nigeria
Beautiful Song 🎵 ❤️
@@Eddievedder3156Can you not
yeah
Legendary band. Some kid like 200 years from now is going to discover Pearl Jam and it will blow their mind and that kid will go on to create incredible music for the world.
Man I am so high right now. Great song.
Legendary comment
😂
I used to sing this song to my sons when they were infants. 93 & 99. Love you sons. Thank you for teaching me what life is really about.
This is difently a drunkin comment..? love it 😅
@seanduddy3298 not in the least. This is a comment from an actual human being. That appreciates the only thing worthwhile he was ever given. They taught me. Maybe you can grow up someday too.
I'm in that boat right now! I have two very young kids and they really do put life in perspective.
I’m 51 now, I’ve listened to this album hundreds maybe thousands of times and I get that same feeling that I did in my early 20’s when I first heard it.
Yep. 52, still listening 🤘💯💜
It never fades
If this song doesn't hit different now than when you were in your 20s...
Same here... I'll never forget first time hearing it driving during winter...
always come back to this one. haven't for many years, and now it actually hurts to hear, despite being so beautiful. It's a double-strike at the heart because hearts and thoughts have faded now compared to when I first heard it. I used to belt this out on my guitar to impress friends - now some of those friends are gone, and others are "gone" but in a different way. Jesus this song is so sad but so true and so damn pretty.
Music is truly a time machine.
Seriously. Standing in my kitchen at almost midnight. Kids all.tucked into bed and thinking about this song and what I was doing 30 years ago.
@@TK-ib7rm You all are the damn best. I'm honored to have the kind of support that you show me, thank you. How are you doing it is nice meeting you here btw
Dude I’m back in 1996 when I graduated from HS
haven't heard this song in years, it feels like yesterday.
Especially after 38 High Lifes
One day we'll all be forgotten, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't enjoy every moment until then.
Wish I could do more of that.
Great reminder.
When I find the money tree to pay for Major Depressive Disorder therapies not covered by insurance, I could start dreaming of being more than a fading memory which breathes - or a cautionary tale.
I've always thought if the person from the past being the happier me form decades ago. "My God, it's been so long ."
Edit: No idea why I went on and on about this yesterday. The mental health system in the U.S. is impossible for some if us. Leaving it up in case it makes someone else feel less alone. Sorry to be a bummer.
Seriously, I idk just I want to thank you for that
Sad when I'm still here and feel forgotten...
@@a.joegevara3519 well you got a notification to pop up on my phone and a response. Even if I'm X miles away, sitting on a toliet typing a comment for a handful of people to see, you are one of them. Your tiny action made me do a tiny action in return. You aren't alone, even if the world and your mind are telling you that you are.
@@bigchilling420 Makes me wonder what the most heartfelt thing ever written while on a toilet might have been, but your comment is right up there. Thanks for sharing the beautiful sentiment.
If ever their was a song that had an uncanny knack of pulling at my heart strings, it was this one.
"I swear I recognize your breath" what a great line! " I just wanna scream HELLO"
I change by not changing at all....
This became my life motto.
Mine too
@Sonia You all are the damn best. I'm honored to have the kind of support that you show me, thank you. How are you doing it is nice meeting you here btw
You know this is good when there’s 5 likes in 33 seconds. Lyrically, I think one of the best Pearl Jam songs.
15 by the two minute mark.
And climbing quickly.
It's hard to choose the best ones, Eddie is an amazing lyricist (and the rest as well, but Eddie wrote the biggest amount of breathtaking lyrics)
Literally every single album has some masterpieces that bring me in tears
@@Faks.09 my personal favourites change often. There's a great Pearl Jam song no matter your mood.
One of their best lyrics
Know I'm taking this song out of context, but I just lost my mom to dementia and always felt such a personal connection to these lyrics and her situation. She wrote poetry, which I'd been unable to read without bursting into tears since the disease stole her from me. As she lay in the hospital bed this week, unresponsive and on a myriad of drugs to ease the pain of her journey, all I could do was stay at her side, hold her hand, play her favorite music and read her beautifully written poems and stories to her again. It was a gift for me in many ways. It brought back, if only through prose, my magnificent mom and her gift for writing. The lyrics "memories like fingerprints are slowly raising" were true. So thank you, Pearl Jam, for allowing me to apply my own deeply personal meaning to your haunting song as I navigate this intense grief.
Hopefully you're doing good man RIP 🙏 no one should ever have to go through such Heartbreak🤍
@@alexxz0144 Thank you so much for your kind words. You have no idea how meaningful they are right now. 💓
Strength to you man.
Im black n tht brings me to tears
I feel what you are going through. Going through it now myself. My beautiful mum hears the music I play for her, no matter how far away she is. I know.
I played this song about 10 times straight the day after I graduated high school.
I don’t know why I did that…
Yes you do ,,,, you left something you will never go back to
I now do an internship at my own high school, haha. So I'm playing: We'll meet again, Far Cry 5 version.
That makes two of us.
I wish I could have done the same thing
I listened to this a lot senior year 4 years ago. I heard this song for the first time on the radio and sound hounded it immediately.
Post high school life doesn’t easier but it’s full of ups and downs with more responsibility
This was the greatest era for music! I miss those days badly!
It was & I miss it too!
No, it was just our era for music.
Music peaked in the late 1960s in terms of melody and harmony (computers analyzed it).
We knew at the time in the 1980s and 1990s that music was going downhill but we still had some great songs.
Around 2015 it was like there was no more good music. Now I find myself seeing 80s songs getting burnt out.
Me too! 💛
I always get tears with this one. like 20 years was just yesterday and tomorrow is so far away. I feel so many feels with this one, it hurts, it feels good...nostalgia is there, so isn't Frodo my doggo that passed a few years ago.
Sad things...man, but also glorious things.
I love everything about this song it is a a scream of quiet desperation......
I lost my Daddy in late August of 2021! We love the Stones, I was is one and only child. I miss him daily! This reminds me of him SO MUCH, LOVE U DADDY❤
Pearl Jam is one of the greatest band ever, including this song
Reminds me of Highschool...miss the 90s
I remember you coming in the room in our apartment waking us up in the early morning after getting home from working the overnight shift playing this song on our small acoustic guitar. You were so happy that day. I never asked why. It has always stuck in my mind. I miss you my brother. May your soul rest and be rocking out in heaven.
I’ll be that old lady behind the counter been at the coffee shop for 25 years watched so many grow up and become young adults as I was when I started working for my fam. Still waiting on a cover to be played at the Mocha House. I love this song!
But do you live in a small town? And do you want to scream hello?🧐
@@TenNineD yes, Newton Fall is a village and I scream that all day…
When we travel the Road to Recovery, NeuroPathways to Enlightenment, Holiday Road, Journey to Awaken our Spirit, Mission to Finding our Self (the psyche),... the mind gets quiet and it happens. Shhh it happens!
HELLO! My Inner G (energy), it's been so long! Never dreamed you'd return! But now here YOU are, and here I AM. ♥➕💭 together in peace and love. ☯
There is an Elder/Tallest/Higher/Acsended energy within you. Be it! Don't COUNT yourSelf out and get left behind in small mindedness. ♥ is it! BEloved!
It's so funny that you say that -- I'm on the wrong side of 55, but after losing so many years to major depression, I feel as if I'm picking up where I left off in 95. I'll be looking for part time work in the next couple of weeks to get me out among people again, it's guaranteed that at the worst, it'll be a coffee shop. Toronto's impossible to afford, so I live in a small town where there are no book stores I could slink my way into. What scares me a little bit is the foreknowledge that coffee shops are no light work, and I ruined my back hauling boxes of cds & records during my 20s (showing off like the dumbass I often was).
I'm looking forward to being out & about among people again, esp younger ones who usually seem so gorgeously full of life. I wish I'd known that about myself when I was young & incredibly, painfully insecure, but so it goes.
@@1michelemichele1 You all are the damn best. I'm honored to have the kind of support that you show me, thank you. How are you doing it is nice meeting you here btw
Hearts and thoughts do indeed fade away.
It doesn’t get any better than this
Doesn’t get Eddie Vedder than this
I like to think Eddie himself has changed through all these decades by not changing at all, this same deep innocent soul who never seemed to let fame and fortune corrupt him or drive him into a destructive lifestyle. And that voice is so iconic, like he's truly just this born performer
Very true, initially his lyrics certainly seemed the most personal and painful of the bunch. He seemed to be able to work through it where Chris n certainly Layne's lyrics only seemed to become more haunting as time went on.
Blessing we still have EV with us.
I think in this song at the time he wrote it, it was more of a funny history to him, sings it weirdly almost as if it was a country song and in a way I feel he didn't relate to it the way he sings it now that he's older
I guess we’ll be coming up on 30 years of this soon. This Song , Twin Peaks and Best Friends. Life was great.
My god it's been so long...
This song takes me straight back to my childhood, my neighbourhood where I grew up and played with other kids on the streets 30 years ago. Life was so much better, so simple even though it was a small town yet we all were so happy. Now everything has changed, I have progressed in life and moved to an elite society yet its not the same. Part of me wants to go back but this fast moving life just doesnt let you stop and go back ever. This song brings so many emotions and memories of those times that I always get emotional listening to it. It's such a great, underrated song. Thank you, Pearl Jam, for your music.
Just wanted to come home for a few minutes.
I change by not changing is deep
*LYRICS:*
I seem to recognize your face
Haunting, familiar yet
I can't seem to place it
Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name
Lifetimes are catching up with me
All these changes taking place
I wish I'd seen the place
But no one's ever taken me
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
I swear, I recognize your breath
Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising
Me, you wouldn't recall for I'm not my former
It's hard when you're stuck upon the shelf
I changed by not changing at all
Small town predicts my fate
Perhaps that's what no one wants to see
I just want to scream hello
My God it's been so long
Never dreamed you'd return
But now here you are and here I am
Hearts and thoughts they fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade
Copy pasted from .... wherever
obrigado
Great Song, Eddie Vedder!!
i love it when someone goes to the trouble of pasting the lyrics. Thankyou.x
such a poetic feel. love this one.
Thanks!
probably in the top 10 best songs of our lifetime.
I just wanna scream hellooooo! Love this song! Love Pearl Jam!
@Denise You all are the damn best. I'm honored to have the kind of support that you show me, thank you. How are you doing it is nice meeting you here btw
Awww this gets me all the time
someone told me he wrote this be cause he was fascinated by small towns. (literally)
One of the most hauntingly beautiful songs ever. So much truth and humanity in these timeless lyrics-
this was my dads favorite song, i recently heard it while at a concert and it brought back so many memories. i miss him so much and i’m glad i’m listening to this song again
God bless your Dad, you'll have those memories forever🙏🏻
❤❤❤
I'm kinda depressed and a little drunk. I love this song, remember when it was new. It's a part of the small repertoire of songs that I can play ad sing on the guitar.
I felt greatfull to grow up around greatness and originality
To Pearl Jam: Thank you. You were an integral element in my college years and I thank you all for your contributions to the woman I became. ❤️
This song always brings tears to my eyes 😢
This song will ALWAYS make me cry. I feel it in my life everyday as memory fades. 54 and it still has that affect. Might be my favorite song ever by any band
When I hear the lyric "hearts and farts they fade, fade away" that really speaks to me.
This is the first PJ song I ever listened to. I love PJ!
You all are the damn best. I'm honored to have the kind of support that you show me, thank you. How are you doing it is nice meeting you here btw
I’ve haven’t heard this song in a while, yet it gives me so much inspiration. “ I’ve changed by not changing at all” is the part that really sticks with me, because that’s what I don’t wanna become. Someone that you knew and never changed and improved ever since.
Always wanted to see them live... Someday ☺️
All the emotions flood back 😢 these days left us too fast!
Ominous and sublime, one of the most haunting songs ever made, over and over again, hearing while feeling the memories of the lyrics so instantly relatable and ever so deeply effecting the soul with every listen.
I don't think you know the meanings of "ominous" or "haunting"
@@mrcrandberry6115 What isn’t ominous and haunting about the living long enough to see that you don’t matter to anyone anymore, even within the context of a small town, your friends, and family? What isn’t ominous and haunting about being dead to the world even when your world is small?
@@AP-op4rc I think "evocative" or "poignant" would be better words for this then "ominous" and "haunting." Mainly because "ominous" intends to a feeling of foreboding or calamity, and this song is really just about remembering.
@@mrcrandberry6115 I guess it comes down to how we interpret some of the meaning behind it. I agree, evocative and poignant are great descriptors. I guess I just see a lot of darkness in the way that things are remembered in this song. To me it’s not in a nostalgic way, but more in a way that emphasizes a sense of loss and emptiness.
@@AP-op4rc yeah i find that its got this almost minimalistic feel to it. like its somehow empty, but also not - like an empty school gymnasium someone plays guitar in just to feel the reverb.
and maybe this person has known nothing but pain, maybe they cant relate to people... i know i miss being simple - you cant go back to it. you can try, but growth makes it impossible to shrink, once youve acquired greater dimensions. i can hope to relax in a small town - but hope is a mere distraction.
30 years old. still love it. Hearts and thoughts they fade
My God it’s been so long❤😔
@Cathy You all are the damn best. I'm honored to have the kind of support that you show me, thank you. How are you doing it is nice meeting you here btw
This was her husband Tom who wrote this, but thanks anyway ☮️😎
@@cathystruska1558
i am good. i know you must be surprised to receive a message from me right?
This is my favourite Pearl Jam song. Phenomenal.
Gotdanm what a beautiful song!!!!
🎯💯
PLEASE TAKE ME BACK TO WHEN THIS CAME OUT…I REMEMBER IT WELL .. I ENTERED TOWER RECORDS DOWN IN HIGH STREET KENSINGTON.. LONDON …THIS WAS PLAYING OUT LOUD IN THE STORE.. I STAYED. THERE AND LISTENED TO THE WHOLE ALBUM AND LOVED IT TO THIS DAY …HAPPY DAYS 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Quagmire finding out his realtor died.
Yeah, had to find this song too.
My favorite song by Pearl Jam.
This song was sent to me by my bf just now, it reminded her of my husband who passed away 3 years ago. I just listened to it and it brought happy tears to my eyes. I’ll always love you Mark Landskroner and I know your an angel watching over me every day and night. Miss you my love, love Jamie
Pearl Jam- Elderly woman behind a counter in a small town, ROCK IT
I love you and your comment. Sorry for your loss.
@@voices3312 who’s this ?
This is for you corrine . You still do it for me after all these years . And I love you for it ❤
I changed by not changing at all..
...I swear I recognize your breath...
...not my former...
Stuck up on a shelf...
Only Black moves me more.
Hearts and thoughts they fade.
Thanks Eddie. For deep uncountable reasons...thanks
The song that made me realize I wanted to learn to play guitar. Thanks guys, thanks Eddie.❤️
@Nicole You all are the damn best. I'm honored to have the kind of support that you show me, thank you. How are you doing it is nice meeting you here btw
Pearl Jam always gives you a sense of serenity through each song that resignates with what you are going through at the time. Thank you.
My God it's been so long, never dreamed you'd return! But now here you are, and here I am! Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade awsy
Rest in peace dad
This song. So many memories
Just had my last day of high school. Can’t stop listening to this awesome song. Had so many great memories and relationships there…so sad that as we move on to new chapters of our lives we leave those we love behind and fade over time.
Totally AWESOME!!! I LOVE PEARL JAM FOR LIFE 😊💓🤘✌️ thank you PJ for sharing, so appreciated 👍
♥this song♥ The years have passed by, so much i once thought important has faded away, but this song, PJ's music..still relevant♥
@You all are the damn best. I'm honored to have the kind of support that you show me, thank you. How are you doing it is nice meeting you here btw
I love how this beautiful song takes me back to a time when life was much more simple .. my youthful years! This is probably my favorite song ever by these guys!! 🤟😎💯
When I hear this song, it brings me back to being in Seattle from 1994 to 1997. Pike Market and Pioneer Square were the places to be.
Listening to this song endlessly all night long, the dawn is about to breakthrough. Thousand emotions and thoughts mixed in this amazing tune joy and sorrow embracing a lot of hope. Words really just can't describe the feeling about this song. Not confusion but certainty of better days coming.
And Here i Am!!!
October 19, 2023. 30 years of this masterpiece.
This song makes me feel old ( but in a good way, like a different perspective on life). I'm only 21 though.
It's so sad to see a band this special and grounded in humanity ~ lose its way.
"Lose its way." Huh? I think you must be confused....
What these guys did was avoid overexposure, set their sights on being a band that has a long career, and not fall by the wayside like so many great bands from that era
I fail to make the connection as to how they "lost their way" 🤔
these guys are still together, making music, tours, playing...they even got a new record coming out in a few days. after the 90s they also made more records, great songs. and still kept their principles, their politcs, their ideals. i mean, their golden auge was Ten, Vs, vitalogy, we'll never see something like these again, and its okay, doesnt mean they make bad music or they "lost its way"
Memories like finger prints ...,never dreamed you return 😭😭😭❤❤❤💙🔥🔥♾️
Love this song
Memories like finger prints reminds me of my mother every time I hear this song and I change by not changing at all
At today's poetry jam, someone read a really moving poem about an elderly woman who had died isolated and neglected. It reminded me of this song, and I shared it. Amazing to see the ways so many people connect different experiences to these lyrics, like they're very relatable because they dig deeper than the face-value narrative to something universally human. The beautiful but melancholy music give even greater impact and staying power to the words, so I sent our jammers a link to this YT. Thank you, PJ, for sharing something poignant and timeless.
I can dig it.
This and 'Indifference' def make me feel.
Yes! Nostalgia you win.
Perfect road trip song!
Pearl jam rules
The summer this album came out was amazing, this cd was always on
Thank you so much!
Brings me back.
2024, I'm screaming hello, with my heart 💕
Yes
Haven’t heard this in a good min
Their greatest song. Versus is criminally underrated.
My favorite song💟💟💟
You all are the damn best. I'm honored to have the kind of support that you show me, thank you. How are you doing it is nice meeting you here btw
my real-estate agent died.
Who Jenna
“You can have it all… my empire of dirt”. Every time you think that real estate agent hopefully you get sucked into that song
No more Christmas cards
Sorry Quagmire. 😢
One of my favourite albums ever...
born and raised in Seattle, i was 13 when this song came out. 107.7 The End was it…well and KUBE 93.3 too. sad to say we’re packing up and leaving Seattle this year, my kids won’t live their formative years here. sad but then again, cool Seattle doesn’t exist anymore. peace out love this song ✌🏻
Ah, the progression of life. Things don't always turn out the way you thought they would, but that's life for you. Time waits for no one and life will always move. Funny how time flies when you aren't looking.
This song has an incredible nostalgic sense to it. It always makes me think of what could have been. Thank you Pearl Jam for always resonating with my life ❤
Instead, you should think of what could be..... You can't change the past, but you can mould the future
Bob Mould?
@Celia You all are the damn best. I'm honored to have the kind of support that you show me, thank you. How are you doing it is nice meeting you here btw
We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when. But I know we'll meet again some sunny day.
You all are the damn best. I'm honored to have the kind of support that you show me, thank you. How are you doing it is nice meeting you here btw
One of my FAVORITE song of all time
I was shopping the other day and a beautiful woman caught my attention. I didn't recognize her. upon leaving the store I realized we had briefly dated. such is the life in a small town!
These two fucking rocked
