Don't fight um brother let them roll down your face..let them come out..it really helps....bless you..but your doing your children a great service I can tell xx
After a hard day, hearing this song. I can't stop crying. Yes, I'm a dude of 21 years, but this song is more than a feeling, more than thousand words. Thank you Eddie, thank you for being part of my life
I'm speechless.. I can't describe with words how this song makes me feel.. I wish i knew what eddie was thinking while he was writing this song,what inspired him to write such a masterpiece from the heart.. all I know is that he is a wonderful artist and I admire him for being one..
What were all those dreams we shared those many years ago? What were all those plans we made now left beside the road? Behind us in the road More than friends, I always pledged cause friends they come and go People change, as does everything I wanted to grow old I just want to grow old Slide up next to me I'm just a human being I will take the blame But just the same this is not me You see? Believe... I'm better than this Don't leave me so cold I'm buried beneath the stones I just want to hold on I know I'm worth your love Enough... I don't think there's such a thing It's my fault now Having caught a sickness in my bones How it pains to leave you here With the kids on your own Just don't let me go Help me see myself cause I can no longer tell Looking out from the inside of the bottom of a well It's hell... I yell... But no one hears before I disappear whisper in my ear Give me something to echo in my unknown future's ear My dear... The end comes near... I'm here... But not much longer.
This was the song I listened to the day my mother died of Breast Cancer. The words "Just want to grow old" kept echoing in my head. Eddie Vedder knows how to crawl in to someone's emotions and pluck their strings. "Help me see myself! Because I can no longer tell... " This was my mother's conscious and unconscious state. "Before I disappear, my dear the end comes near. I'm Here! But not much longer!" I guess I just miss my mother today.
That's why I'm so absolutely in love with music. It has the ability to express words that don't even exist. I've found that whenever I'm overwhelmed by emotions that I can't convey to my friends or family, it's easier to just pick up my guitar and get lost in the notes and chords. It's ethereal and cathartic, and the closest we mortals have to being gods...
It tried a couple of time to describe the way I feel when I hear this song, the feelings that come with it are indescribable. I know one thing for sure. I really really really miss my mother....
3 and a half years I've been running after her and have been failing miserably then all of a sudden UA-cam algorithm leads me to this. Have wept like a madman over this song. I just want to hold on and know I'm worth your love ❤️
As a Pearl Jam fan from the beginning, I find myself going back to past albums and rediscovering songs like this after I haven’t heard them in a while. The album version is great but man... Eddie Vedder and an acoustic guitar live?? Wow! Unreal. I so hope they come to Pittsburgh, PA for this current tour. Somehow! Some way!! PJ fan forever!
every once in a while I listen to this song sometimes I cry sometimes i don't but when I do cry... I miss the one I love and she'll always be in my heart😢❤
Perfect. Great that you managed to record such a great live version without 20 000 voices around you murdering it. I saw 2 concerts on the Backspacer tour and both were awesome!
Eddie, in my opinion, sings here about a loss he endured. The melody, the lyrics hit my heart. This man is a treasure. It seems he got through so many human's life events.
What were all those dreams we shared Those many years ago? What were all those plans we made Now left beside the road? Behind us in the road More than friends I always pledged Cause friends they come and go People change as does everything I wanted to grow old Just want to grow old Slide on next to me I'm just a human being I will take the blame But just the same This is not me You see Believe I'm better than this Don't leave me so cold Or buried beneath the stones I just want to hold on And know I'm worth your love Enough I don't think There's such a thing It's my fault, now I been caught A sickness in my bones How it pains to leave you here With the kids on your own Just don't let me go Help me see myself Cause I can no longer tell Looking out from the inside of The bottom of a well It's hell I yell But no one hears Before I disappear Whisper in my ear Give me something to echo In my unknown futures ear My dear The End Comes near I'm here But not much longer
Great job capturing this perfectly imperfect moment in time. What an amazing song! Eddie Vedder is simply an amazing man and gives me hope for men in this world of religious & corrupt patriarchy societies. I was at their next concert in Vancouver 3 days later. Blew me away - I had great expectations and they warped them out of our galaxy!! Namaste
Nobody writes about life and loss like Vedder. The Long Road, Come Back, Just Breathe, The End…. The man is therapy and catharsis for the soul. Lyrically, he stands alone.
this is beautiful... it makes me think about when i was a kid and had to watch my father whither away from cancer, really captures the feeling of death and mortality. its amazing that after 20 years they can still make such masterpieces
Fuori di classe!!! Eddie Vedder, sicuramente,e' uno dei cantanti piu' profondi di nostro tempo! io basto con dire che questo e' un lavoro supremo, come sempre di Eddie e Pearl Jam. Grazie, grazie! --------------------- Out of this world! Eddie Vedder, surely, is one of the most profound singers of our time! I can stop by saying that this is a supreme piece of work, like always, from Eddie and Pearl Jam. Thanks!
They're just amazing and eddie vedder's voice is just amazing, super. They're the best band that I've ever heard. And I hope I could see an concert of them beucause there must be supernatural *-* Pearl Jam will be always in our memory, in our ears, in our voice, in our heart. For always +.+
The fact that Eddie can sit and hit key after key is lost to a lot of people, takes a true vocalist to do this time and time again .... Chris 8s the only other one to do this(RIP)one of the last of the greats
These comments.... I hope all of you are doing much better now. If not, I pray that the universe gives you all the strength. This life can sometimes be mean. But hang in there my fellow beautiful humans.
"This one's a bit sad..."
Understatement of the decade?
just absolutely phenomenal...hard to fight back the tears. my wife lost her battle with breast cancer leaving 2 sons behind.
Don't fight um brother let them roll down your face..let them come out..it really helps....bless you..but your doing your children a great service I can tell xx
Tears let the hurt out. Let them go.
After a hard day, hearing this song. I can't stop crying. Yes, I'm a dude of 21 years, but this song is more than a feeling, more than thousand words. Thank you Eddie, thank you for being part of my life
I'm 21 now and i can't stop crying hearing this song. Happy 30 years!
🎈
Ok Mary, drama queen
This video and song are proof as to why Vedder is so highly respected in music and as an artist. He's the fucking real deal.....period
One chord, Eddies voice and I burst into tears. Immediately. The losses keep growing.
7 years ...that she left me ...after rebuild my life ,this song still make me cry 😢...if she were able to believe ..I’m 6 years clean now
Show must go on ,and your life too ,i hope you keep the sprit in your heart for your girl
Lost my dad yesterday, so I’m here today.
I'm speechless.. I can't describe with words how this song makes me feel.. I wish i knew what eddie was thinking while he was writing this song,what inspired him to write such a masterpiece from the heart.. all I know is that he is a wonderful artist and I admire him for being one..
There are very few bands that still touch me with their music these days. Pearl Jam is one of them.
I miss you Drea. This songs makes me think of you. I just wish brain cancer did not have to take you away from me.
This is my favorite Pearl Jam song of all time. just beautiful.
What were all those dreams we shared
those many years ago?
What were all those plans we made now
left beside the road?
Behind us in the road
More than friends, I always pledged
cause friends they come and go
People change, as does everything
I wanted to grow old
I just want to grow old
Slide up next to me
I'm just a human being
I will take the blame
But just the same
this is not me
You see?
Believe...
I'm better than this
Don't leave me so cold
I'm buried beneath the stones
I just want to hold on
I know I'm worth your love
Enough...
I don't think
there's such a thing
It's my fault now
Having caught a sickness in my bones
How it pains to leave you here
With the kids on your own
Just don't let me go
Help me see myself
cause I can no longer tell
Looking out from the inside
of the bottom of a well
It's hell...
I yell...
But no one hears before I disappear
whisper in my ear
Give me something to echo
in my unknown future's ear
My dear...
The end
comes near...
I'm here...
But not much longer.
My husband died on February 14th 2023 on Valentine's Day. He was on a ventilator and afterwards when he passed a dedicated the song to him

Hes singing about my life, id swear it.:'(

So many people have lost something, or someone. This song hits home like no other, and I'm no different. I miss you LW

I tried, Michael. I did everything I knew to do. I miss you.

I’m sorry. 😢
Stay strong 💐
Love u Peggy
Love this song but it always leaves me feeling empty and sorrowful. Like a last goodbye of sorts.
raw, pure and very, very moving... awesome
every once in a while I listen to this song sometimes I cry sometimes i don't but when I do cry... I miss the one I love and she'll always be in my heart😢❤
best live performance i've seen!!
Perfect. Great that you managed to record such a great live version without 20 000 voices around you murdering it. I saw 2 concerts on the Backspacer tour and both were awesome!

Absolutely beautiful and heart-wrenching as well...

More than friends I always pledged

Slide on next to me
I'm just a human being
I will take the blame
But just the same
This is not me
You see
Believe
I'm better than this
Don't leave me so cold
Or buried beneath the stones
I just want to hold on
And know I'm worth your love
Enough
I don't think
There's such a thing
It's my fault, now I been caught
A sickness in my bones
How it pains to leave you here
With the kids on your own
Just don't let me go
Help me see myself
Cause I can no longer tell
Looking out from the inside of
The bottom of a well
It's hell
I yell
But no one hears
Before I disappear
Whisper in my ear
Give me something to echo
In my unknown futures ear
My dear
The End
Comes near
I'm here
But not much longer
Great job capturing this perfectly imperfect moment in time.
What an amazing song!
Eddie Vedder is simply an amazing man and gives me hope for men in this world of religious & corrupt patriarchy societies.
I was at their next concert in Vancouver 3 days later. Blew me away - I had great expectations and they warped them out of our galaxy!!
Namaste
Quelle merveille. Sa voix magnifie les paroles, comme toujours. Une mélodie qui va heureusement me rester dans la tête.
Nobody writes about life and loss like Vedder. The Long Road, Come Back, Just Breathe, The End….
The man is therapy and catharsis for the soul.
Lyrically, he stands alone.
Yes, I quite agree. The loss...
does someone feels a chill when he sings the last words of this song like i do?
So beautiful
this is beautiful... it makes me think about when i was a kid and had to watch my father whither away from cancer, really captures the feeling of death and mortality. its amazing that after 20 years they can still make such masterpieces
Ladies and Gentleman, and thats what we call - THE PERFORMER, the artist
My husband took his own life...this song kills me.
Hope you're doing ok
Xx
My deepest condolences to you.
So sorry!!
Mary Jo Mary Jo on FB. I’m on your page. I pray this woman is ok.
Fuori di classe!!! Eddie Vedder, sicuramente,e' uno dei cantanti piu' profondi di nostro tempo! io basto con dire che questo e' un lavoro supremo, come sempre di Eddie e Pearl Jam. Grazie, grazie!

São 4h30 em Portugal, estou na cama a ouvir esta música e a chorar...a pensar o que ando a fazer com a minha vida..
When everything is gone what is left?
A new beginning.
The lyrics are universal yet we all connect to them in our own personal way. Brilliant!
*OMG this song. Right now. Riots. Quarantine. Thank You Eddie‼️😘*
Essa música é linda demais!
Aline S. concordo
I love this song so much and it's amazing realizing at 1:46 how many emotions I can felt in just half of the song! What a masterpiece!

The fact that Eddie can sit and hit key after key is lost to a lot of people, takes a true vocalist to do this time and time again .... Chris 8s the only other one to do this(RIP)one of the last of the greats
This is something else
@billygoathex ya i totally agree with you and what do u think the other 9 most beautiful songs ever written are?
These comments.... I hope all of you are doing much better now. If not, I pray that the universe gives you all the strength. This life can sometimes be mean. But hang in there my fellow beautiful humans.
