I dedicated this song to my son over 15 years ago? Well, he just sent me the link to this video! Made my day! This song is a masterpiece! And I absolutely love, love, love this video!! Thank you for creating it!
When I am feeling weighed down, stagnant, and frustrated, this song never fails to remind me to take a step back and see my life in broader terms. Reminds me to put my focus and energy into things that really matter. Experiencing this life, the journey, the enlightenment, loving unconditionally... these things matter. Making money, paying bills, owning things, status... these things in the end, do not matter.
Whenever I walk through our local forest, it's this song that comes to my mind first ... earth, soil, that living scent of the forest after heavy rain, blue sky, wonderful mountainhigh clouds. One word: life. Pearl Jam. Thank you.
Pearl Jam is my favorite band of all time.... and whoever did this did a HELL of a good job!! One of the best unofficial music videos I've ever seen. Kudos :)
After 20 years Pearl Jam can still write songs like this that throw me against a wall and give me an adrenaline rush. I can't believe it's been 20 years since I first heard Jeremy on my car radio. Keep it up gentleman, you are unique and your gift is needed now more than ever.
This interpretation of one of my favorite Pearl Jam songs is magical. I listened to Backspacer on repeat as I traveled to visit my brother in hospital, late September to early October 2009. The tattoo on my right arm is an interpretation of the lyrics and personal meaning of Unthought Known. Great work. Thank you!
What about the audio? Backspacer isn't owned by any of the labels and PJ doesn't block usage of their music on UA-cam as most bands do. Despite some 700K page views, I haven't made a single dime off of this video. It was simply meant to be a visual accompaniment to one of my favorite Pearl Jam songs ever. I put it together because I wanted to post an actual video of the song on my girlfriends Facebook wall, and only slideshows existed at the time. So no mixed messages or ill intent.
ChasingDogma this video makes something great into something memorable. It suits the feel really well, and then im not even getting started on cinematography. Thanks for putting this into my life! i hope i speak for others as well.
I've been listing to this song since I was like 7. Now I'm a tween and I clicked on it and actually started crying. 😂happy and sad. Every time I think of this song I think of my old house in the city!
I was born into a decade where pop is taking over and my dad and I are really sick of it so all we do is listen to Pearl Jam in the car. This is easily my favorite song of all time but the rest of Pearl Jam's songs are just amazing and really speak to me!
You're so lucky your dad has good taste in music and he's so lucky you are down with Pearl Jam as one of the greatest bands ever....sometimes precicious kids are pretty ok :)
I can't get over how amazing a video this is with no involvement from the band. Best band ever, best fan base ever. This video actually enhances the song. Just incredible. Been coming back to it time and again for a decade now. When he starts conducting the waves, my God. Society might deny you a place within it, but everyone has a place in the world and the beauty of creation is there for all of us.
honestly like the love I have in my heart for pearl jam/eddie vedder is like UNEXPLAINABLE eddies voice, the lyrics, the guitar, drums, legit everything in every song ever made is just wonderful. I legit feel blessed to live in the time I do to be able to listen to pj. (even tho it would have been awesome to be a teen in the 80s/90s when pj was at its highest) but I'm 19 years old and have listened to pearl jam since I was out the womb and I have my dad to thank for that I'm so glad I was brought up around rock/alt rock music because it brings so much joy to my heart and a song like THIS ONE...blows my mind. it's music like this..... music is awesome and I cant get over it.
I think this is one of Pearl Jam's best , I just love this song and Eddie voice there is no other like it. By the way I think the video worked really well with the music. Good choice and a great job.
Eddie put so much heart, soul, and feeling into every song. If you watch live performance videos you can see it in his face. His physical gestures and facial expressions show him pouring himself into every word. So awesome. 👍👍🔥🔥
All the thoughts you never see You are always thinking Brain is wide, the brain is deep Oh, are you sinking? Tutti i pensieri che non consideri mai ma che fai in continuazione La mente è connessa la mente è profonda oh, stai affondando? Feel the path of every day Which road you taking? Breathing hard, making hay Yeah, this is living Pensa al percorso di ogni giorno quale strada stai prendendo? Respira forte ... e prendi il meglio sí, questa è la vita Look for love in evidence That you’re worth keeping Swallowed whole in negatives It’s so sad and sickening Cerchi l’amore e la prova che meriti di essere tenuto Ingoiare tutta la negatività è così triste e disgustoso Feel the air up above Oh, pool of blue sky Fill the air up with love All black with starlight Senti l’aria sopra di te una piscina di cielo blu Riempi l’aria di amore il buio con la luce delle stelle Feel the sky blanket you With gems and rhinestones!!! See the path cut by the moon For you to walk on Senti il cielo come una coperta fatta di pietre preziose e diamanti falsi!!! Guarda il sentiero tracciato dalla luna Fatto perché tu lo possa percorrere For you to walk on… Perché tu lo possa percorrere Nothing left, nothing left Nothing there, nothing here… Nothing left, nothing left Nothing there, nothing left… Nothing left, nothing left Nothing there, nothing here… Non è rimasto niente, non è rimasto niente niente lì, niente qui non è rimasto niente, non è rimasto niente niente lì, niente qui non è rimasto niente, non è rimasto niente niente lì, niente qui See the path cut by the moon For you to walk on See the waves on distant shores Awaiting your arrival Guarda il sentiero tracciato dalla luna Fatto perché tu lo possa percorrere Guarda le onde sulle rive lontane che aspettano il tuo arrivo Dream the dreams of other men You’ll be no one’s rival Dream the dreams of others then You will be no one’s rival Sogna i sogni di altri uomini non sarai rivale di nessuno Sogna i sogni di altri allora non sarai rivale di nessuno You will be no one’s rival… Non sarai rivale di nessuno A distant time, a distant space That’s where we’re living A distant time, a distant place So what ya giving? What ya giving? Un tempo lontano, uno spazio lontano è lì che viviamo un tempo lontano, un posto lontano allora tu cosa stai dando? cosa stai dando?
May We Live ForeverJust To Listen To This Voice, Watch This And Those Human(s) Beings... THANKS A LOT EDDIE AND YOU... MOTHER EARTH'S ORCHESTRA'S CHIEF.
did you do the mushrooms together? I had to hide the "good" music I loved (including Pearl Jam, Warren Zevon, etc) as all three of my boys decided that any music their mother liked (when they were teenagers) had to be totally uncool....and I couldn't have them hating Jimmy Hendrix, etc.....they've pretty much adjusted to the fact that their mother liked a lot of the stuff they liked as teenages and now love - long before they were even born . Really fine music does tend to defy generational boundaries - a lot of the time, just not always
+Maggie Flinn I love Warren Zevon too. I was listening to Warewolves of London in my room one time and she peeked in and said "David Bowie?" I said "No, Warren Zevon." She said "Oh yeah, that's right. Sounds like Bowie, though." I said "yes it does."
+Jonas Butler Have you come across anyone who feels about Pearl Jam as we do - who doesn't also love Warren Zevon's music? (or David Bowie's) Years ago, a few years before Warren Zevon died, I went to seem him on one of his fairly frequent visits to the small venues in and just outside of Boston. I had an "in" at this particular place and could have gotten my seriously underaged (16 at the time) into the show (since the was alcohol being sold, entrance age was 21) son, still living with me at the time. Sadly he was still stuck in the rut of not allowing himself to like any music his mother did.....(god, what I had to refrain from listening - outloud - to for those years - for all three boys!). He not very graciously declined. Only a few months after Warren had died I was visiting this same son in his dorm room at BU - and as usual, he was downloading songs. Warren Zevon songs. I couldn't help myself as I asked him "do you remember the time I wanted to take you to a club to hear......" as he interrurpted me "no, please don't tell me that it was Warren Zevon?????"" I did a bit of motherly consoling and he then promised he'd never turn down such a suggestion again - even if (as with Warren Zevon at the time), he'd never heard of the artist(s). Sadly, there's not been such another time. Then again, I've been living here in Maui for more than a decade and he's been in DC . At least I don't have to censor what music I play here when any of the three come to visit anymore! Unthought Known is by far my favorite of Vedder's songs that he does with Pearl Jam. The first time I heard it I could have sworn he was channelling Jim Morrison - both the voice and the seriously poetic nature of the song - and the imagery he uses. Any thoughts on that?
On Zevon, I only have about two, maybe three friends and my Mom who share the same kind of passion for his music. On Unthought Known, I think, not only Vedder, but the whole band reached a new level of comfort and proficiency. Backspacer is sheer joy all the way through.
The most perfect, beautiful interpretation of this PJ song....thank you...whenever i listen to this song, i actually pictured some of the images in this video!!! Thank you!!!
They opened their Isle of Wight Festival show with this song. They immediately had the entire crowd on the palm of their hand. Needless the say I was fighting the tears, it was an unbelievable gig.
Beatiful perspective...as an unconditional PJ fan, I believe they are certainly proud of this amazing video and of what their music inspires.congratulations!
This became my fave track on that album fersure One of my favorite hiking / backpacking songs it just gives off the best most optimistic vibe to explore to This video could be deserving of official video status I love the orchestral synchronization concept I think this was executed really well My favorite part is when the protagonist arrives at the edge of the sea and proceeds to conduct the tides What a perfect scene to meditate on I agree w the comments suggesting that this song is an underrated masterpiece but maybe it'll give the song more value and longevity ,in the long run Wishing a better 2024 for the PJ community ,and the entire globe ❤
Kate, I had trouble on talking to you on some things because I did not want you to feel sad. You hid it well, but I could still see it. I hope time has passed and you are doing okay. So this is just a reminder of my love. A reminder of the way I felt and how I told you much of this, but some I might not have. I hope I am wrong about some of this. I hope you can find love one day again. I had to type this up in advance as I felt it coming from my soul. From my perspective the lyrics are from a husband to wife. The husband feels guilt and remorse for being ill and dying. This may be my perspective because that is what I am going through. I have laid in bed as my body rots listening to this song with the most beautiful woman ever to grace this plane. My heart aches knowing that she puts on a strong face for me now, but soon when I am gone she will be stricken with so much sadness and pain. This is a feeling I could not wish upon my worst enemy, or the worst of humanity. To be 37 and dying. To meet the perfect love that agape cannot give justice to. To fall madly overboard for each other, get married, and become so ill that you never got to take your honeymoon. How can I not feel guilt. She is 28 years old, and I would hope that she could once again find love after I am gone. Yet, I doubt no human being could ever love her as much as I. She will continue a long life knowing that she will never be able to reach that level of love that we have felt. I truly wish I could at least make love to her one last time. Maybe leave her a child for the future so that when I am gone, she can still feel love. I may be dying an agonizing death... but I've got the better end of this deal. For there is no way I could do what she has done. There is no way I could continue to live if I lost her. The deeper the love, the deeper the loss. And no poet or songwriter could ever put into words the love we share. And that will bring immeasurable sadness after I go. That is my take on this song. So be grateful. Use my words as perspective for life. And I hope all of you can find even half of the love that me and my princess feel. For that alone would be enough to change the world around you for the better.
this is outstanding. i understand that you made it with footage that already existed, but that just makes it even more incredible. there's a narrative, a story in that. i can identify myself with the guy, i can interpretate and give meaning to the scenes, and, most of all, i can see and feel all the turns and twists of the song. you've got an unbeliavable talent to combine images and music. this video just became my favorite of this big "kitten video library" that we call "youtube".
As a teen I loved them. As a 36 year old I find that Ive needed them more than I thought. But especially now. For me life wouldn't be the same if we were to never have PJ in our lives. It was a group of guys who were truly needed by many people. This will be played at my funeral. For it puts words and sounds together that explain my life in ways I never could. Thank you for always being a click away and always making me live more in the days before my current physical condition. -Love you all

Last June I were in Spain and went to see Eddie in Madrid. This year Madrid is on its knees as it is my lovely contry too because of this virus. And this summer we cannot go to rock 'n roll festivals and concerts. I will continue supporting my favourite bands in other ways. They are our voice and speak a in a soft, orderly, and yet powerful way. This with Wishlist are the Pearl Jam songs I impress my closest people with (including girlfriends). There is one thing though from this song that I learned it is a times not valid: "Dream the dreams of other men, you'll be no one's rival." Well, since I started dreaming the dreams of other men I attracted many more enemies than before!
It has many elements of official music videos, city images of people walking in slow motion, the frame by frame pigeons taking flight, but indeed, pearl jam is a great band and many of their songs has more than one unofficial music video. My other favorite unofficial .usic video is this stitched on hundreds of hours of live video in 2011 Toronto for Keep On Rocking In The Free World. Just flawless audio video sync ua-cam.com/video/hvtdbfI1sqQ/v-deo.html
Chasing Dogma: Your video is PERFECT. Congrats on capturing the essence of Ed's masterpiece. Thank you! This song elevates me to such a place of innocence and perfection. Euphoria, a poster below says. He is absolutely correct in his description of this song.
Totally underrated song. Genius
Thank you! I'm glad you love it.😂

How is this song so underrated?!? This is one of the best songs I've heard in my short years of living!
+Hannah Walker I think the same
Feel the sky blanket you with gems and rhinestones
Agreed. This song is criminally underrated.
For sure! This is one of my favorites of PJ's
Yeah i love this song :)
I dedicated this song to my son over 15 years ago? Well, he just sent me the link to this video! Made my day! This song is a masterpiece! And I absolutely love, love, love this video!! Thank you for creating it!
This is a VERY underrated song by them. Glad I got to hear it live twice.
Mr sir I was with you until I checked out a trump face that's all . Be well please.
"See the path cut by the moon For you to walk on...."
Incredible and so real... I am grateful for this song.

Your description are wrong
@@pauloleite2301 and your English
@@cchertv Lol but good one!
One of the many PJ songs that gives me goosebumps :) Amazing lyrics and music all together :)
When I am feeling weighed down, stagnant, and frustrated, this song never fails to remind me to take a step back and see my life in broader terms. Reminds me to put my focus and energy into things that really matter.
Experiencing this life, the journey, the enlightenment, loving unconditionally... these things matter.
Making money, paying bills, owning things, status... these things in the end, do not matter.
Brandon Christopher A beautiful description of life's ...
well said. agree 100%
Perfect.
PJ always bring me back up. They are one of the rare bands that manage to tap into the universe

After 20 years Pearl Jam can still write songs like this that throw me
against a wall and give me an adrenaline rush. I can't believe it's been 20 years since I first heard Jeremy on my car radio. Keep it up gentleman, you are unique and your gift is needed now more than ever.
30 years now😮
Alchimia pura 🖐️💚♾️🌞✨

Great song...
Amazing video...

I've been listing to this song since I was like 7. Now I'm a tween and I clicked on it and actually started crying. 😂happy and sad. Every time I think of this song I think of my old house in the city!
Eddie's voices speaks to every thing!
You said a mouthful!! So very, very cool....😊
Best poetry I have ever heard along with mesmerizing piece of music!!
A hymn for "Fuck, whatever happens, stand up! Life is worth living every second!"
This that and then some. Fuck what anyone thinks. This world is yours and yours only. Make living worth it
I was born into a decade where pop is taking over and my dad and I are really sick of it so all we do is listen to Pearl Jam in the car. This is easily my favorite song of all time but the rest of Pearl Jam's songs are just amazing and really speak to me!
Great, dude. I wish my dad listens to Pearl Jam. Such a nice bond.
My father and I do that same thing! PJ is on in the car almost 100% of the time. This new pop/rap is absolute garbage!
You're so lucky your dad has good taste in music and he's so lucky you are down with Pearl Jam as one of the greatest bands ever....sometimes precicious kids are pretty ok :)
Brayden Cooney mumble rap . some words then you mumble . next thing you know got all this cash to brag about.

Great video. Speechless. Great song and great video
I lost count of how many times this song has saved me. File under "Pearl Jam's response to what a really uplifting song should be".
You did good.
And by that I mean, a very beautiful and poignant video that you put together.
when they play this song live its amazing. when it starts picking up. god i love pearl jam
This song. Chills every time ❤
Be safe and keep refuge.

Great ORION sky shot good film
I love his voice, it does something to me x
Pearl Jam, such a wonderful band, such creativity!
“Feel the sky blanket you with gems and rhinestones” and then “see the path cut by the moon” is in my opinion such wonderfully expressed life.
So beautiful ❤️. I’ve never heard this Pearl Jam song before 😊

Never tire of listening to this.
All the thoughts you never see
You are always thinking
Brain is wide, the brain is deep
Oh, are you sinking?
Tutti i pensieri che non consideri mai
ma che fai in continuazione
La mente è connessa la mente è profonda
oh, stai affondando?
Feel the path of every day
Which road you taking?
Breathing hard, making hay
Yeah, this is living
Pensa al percorso di ogni giorno
quale strada stai prendendo?
Respira forte ... e prendi il meglio
sí, questa è la vita
Look for love in evidence
That you’re worth keeping
Swallowed whole in negatives
It’s so sad and sickening
Cerchi l’amore e la prova
che meriti di essere tenuto
Ingoiare tutta la negatività
è così triste e disgustoso
Feel the air up above
Oh, pool of blue sky
Fill the air up with love
All black with starlight
Senti l’aria sopra di te
una piscina di cielo blu
Riempi l’aria di amore
il buio con la luce delle stelle
Feel the sky blanket you
With gems and rhinestones!!!
See the path cut by the moon
For you to walk on
Senti il cielo come una coperta
fatta di pietre preziose e diamanti falsi!!!
Guarda il sentiero tracciato dalla luna
Fatto perché tu lo possa percorrere
For you to walk on…
Perché tu lo possa percorrere
Nothing left, nothing left
Nothing there, nothing here…
Nothing left, nothing left
Nothing there, nothing left…
Nothing left, nothing left
Nothing there, nothing here…
Non è rimasto niente, non è rimasto niente
niente lì, niente qui
non è rimasto niente, non è rimasto niente
niente lì, niente qui
non è rimasto niente, non è rimasto niente
niente lì, niente qui
See the path cut by the moon
For you to walk on
See the waves on distant shores
Awaiting your arrival
Guarda il sentiero tracciato dalla luna
Fatto perché tu lo possa percorrere
Guarda le onde sulle rive lontane
che aspettano il tuo arrivo
Dream the dreams of other men
You’ll be no one’s rival
Dream the dreams of others then
You will be no one’s rival
Sogna i sogni di altri uomini
non sarai rivale di nessuno
Sogna i sogni di altri allora
non sarai rivale di nessuno
You will be no one’s rival…
Non sarai rivale di nessuno
A distant time, a distant space
That’s where we’re living
A distant time, a distant place
So what ya giving?
What ya giving?
Un tempo lontano, uno spazio lontano
è lì che viviamo
un tempo lontano, un posto lontano
allora tu cosa stai dando?
cosa stai dando?
one of my favorite pearl jam songs. keep inspiring guys much love
every morning i blast this song on my computer..love this song man:)
Can you imagine a world with out Pearljam? I try, and then I start to cry.
Awesome shots. Great editing. All around standing ovation!
My God that was beautiful. Like someone sneaked a camera in mind when I close my eyes and bliss out to this song. Thank you.

This is probably the best post 90s PJ song
This pumps me up every time I listen to, PJ always fukin' amaze me.
I love this song.
My mom loves Pearl Jam. She's 63. I love Pearl Jam. I'm 34. We each did heroic doses of mushrooms. Long story short, we still love Pearl Jam.
did you do the mushrooms together? I had to hide the "good" music I loved (including Pearl Jam, Warren Zevon, etc) as all three of my boys decided that any music their mother liked (when they were teenagers) had to be totally uncool....and I couldn't have them hating Jimmy Hendrix, etc.....they've pretty much adjusted to the fact that their mother liked a lot of the stuff they liked as teenages and now love - long before they were even born . Really fine music does tend to defy generational boundaries - a lot of the time, just not always
Yeah, we tripped together. My Mom's favorite bands are probably The Beach Boys, Fleetwood Mac, Pearl Jam, and Steely Dan.
+Maggie Flinn I love Warren Zevon too. I was listening to Warewolves of London in my room one time and she peeked in and said "David Bowie?" I said "No, Warren Zevon." She said "Oh yeah, that's right. Sounds like Bowie, though." I said "yes it does."

Years ago, a few years before Warren Zevon died, I went to seem him on one of his fairly frequent visits to the small venues in and just outside of Boston. I had an "in" at this particular place and could have gotten my seriously underaged (16 at the time) into the show (since the was alcohol being sold, entrance age was 21) son, still living with me at the time.

Sadly, there's not been such another time. Then again, I've been living here in Maui for more than a decade and he's been in DC .
At least I don't have to censor what music I play here when any of the three come to visit anymore!
Unthought Known is by far my favorite of Vedder's songs that he does with Pearl Jam. The first time I heard it I could have sworn he was channelling Jim Morrison - both the voice and the seriously poetic nature of the song - and the imagery he uses. Any thoughts on that?
On Zevon, I only have about two, maybe three friends and my Mom who share the same kind of passion for his music. On Unthought Known, I think, not only Vedder, but the whole band reached a new level of comfort and proficiency. Backspacer is sheer joy all the way through.
Excellent combination of lyrics and tunes with the pictures..

Beatiful perspective...as an unconditional PJ fan, I believe they are certainly proud of this amazing video and of what their music inspires.congratulations!
Great job, man.
This is my favourite video in the whole youtube, and it could be the official video clip for the song.
Cheers from Brazil!
This became my fave track on that album fersure
One of my favorite hiking / backpacking songs it just gives off the best most optimistic vibe to explore to
This video could be deserving of official video status
I love the orchestral synchronization concept I think this was executed really well
My favorite part is when the protagonist arrives at the edge of the sea and proceeds to conduct the tides
What a perfect scene to meditate on
I agree w the comments suggesting that this song is an underrated masterpiece but maybe it'll give the song more value and longevity ,in the long run
Wishing a better 2024 for the PJ community ,and the entire globe ❤
Kate, I had trouble on talking to you on some things because I did not want you to feel sad. You hid it well, but I could still see it.
I hope time has passed and you are doing okay. So this is just a reminder of my love. A reminder of the way I felt and how I told you much of this, but some I might not have. I hope I am wrong about some of this. I hope you can find love one day again.
I had to type this up in advance as I felt it coming from my soul.
From my perspective the lyrics are from a husband to wife. The husband feels guilt and remorse for being ill and dying.
This may be my perspective because that is what I am going through. I have laid in bed as my body rots listening to this song with the most beautiful woman ever to grace this plane. My heart aches knowing that she puts on a strong face for me now, but soon when I am gone she will be stricken with so much sadness and pain.
This is a feeling I could not wish upon my worst enemy, or the worst of humanity.
To be 37 and dying. To meet the perfect love that agape cannot give justice to. To fall madly overboard for each other, get married, and become so ill that you never got to take your honeymoon.
How can I not feel guilt. She is 28 years old, and I would hope that she could once again find love after I am gone. Yet, I doubt no human being could ever love her as much as I. She will continue a long life knowing that she will never be able to reach that level of love that we have felt. I truly wish I could at least make love to her one last time. Maybe leave her a child for the future so that when I am gone, she can still feel love.
I may be dying an agonizing death... but I've got the better end of this deal. For there is no way I could do what she has done. There is no way I could continue to live if I lost her.
The deeper the love, the deeper the loss. And no poet or songwriter could ever put into words the love we share. And that will bring immeasurable sadness after I go.
That is my take on this song.
So be grateful. Use my words as perspective for life. And I hope all of you can find even half of the love that me and my princess feel. For that alone would be enough to change the world around you for the better.
Amaaazing song, I cant help listening over and over and over. What we are giving !!
What a magnificent lyric. Words for all to live by.
DocBaby80 top ten for sure
Simply Art
Great song by a great band. Very underrated song in my opinion.
Two of the best people I know and I love to run to the beat and the sung lyrics of this song. This song is definately a firm fave :-) yah!
this is outstanding. i understand that you made it with footage that already existed, but that just makes it even more incredible. there's a narrative, a story in that. i can identify myself with the guy, i can interpretate and give meaning to the scenes, and, most of all, i can see and feel all the turns and twists of the song. you've got an unbeliavable talent to combine images and music. this video just became my favorite of this big "kitten video library" that we call "youtube".
How do you know that this footage already existed? Where have you seen it before?
Awesome 🌍🌊🌒
One of my absolute favourite videos ever. Great Work!!
i hope Eddie wont see this !!! they will stop making videos again (rofl)
As a teen I loved them. As a 36 year old I find that Ive needed them more than I thought. But especially now.
For me life wouldn't be the same if we were to never have PJ in our lives. It was a group of guys who were truly needed by many people.
This will be played at my funeral. For it puts words and sounds together that explain my life in ways I never could.
Thank you for always being a click away and always making me live more in the days before my current physical condition.
-Love you all
4.3 million views on an unofficial clip? Goes to show how great it is. Thanks for making this!
Roger França , Yes. this video Does not kill the song as some do. Brilliance behind this video. :)
Welcome!
beautiful Song ever from Pearl jam Amazing views
Pearl Jam ❤❤❤❤
Gives me hope in this crazy world, chills every time I hear this song. Best band in the world!!!
If humans an technology exist in 200 years this bands music will still be played.
sorstudios So true. This is some of the most beautiful music man ever attempted.
great music never dies
great music never dies
great music never dies
I'm new to PJ and never heard this. Thanks. #onestepbehind ☮️💜✝️🇺🇸
Dear Pearl Jam, Keep doing what you're doing. You're beautiful. Love, Jonas
i still hear this music on 2021
All the thoughts you never see
You are always thinking
Brain is wide, the brain is deep
Oh, are you sinking?
Feel the path of every day
Which road you taking?
Breathing hard, making hay
Yeah, this is living
Look for love in evidence
That you're worth keeping
Swallowed whole in negatives
It's so sad and sickening
Feel the air up above
Oh, pool of blue sky
Fill the air up with love
All black with starlight
Feel the sky blanket you
With gems and rhinestones!!!
See the path cut by the moon
For you to walk on
For you to walk on...
Nothing left, nothing left
Nothing there, nothing here...
Nothing left, nothing left
Nothing there, nothing left...
Nothing left, nothing left
Nothing there, nothing here...
See the path cut by the moon
For you to walk on
See the waves on distant shores
Awaiting your arrival
Dream the dreams of other men
You'll be no one's rival
Dream the dreams of others then
You will be no one's rival
You will be no one's rival...
A distant time, a distant space
That's where we're living
A distant time, a distant place
So what ya giving?
What ya giving?
gorgeous ~ dream the dreams! Fantastic song!
doorbell5 did it
I just saw them live at DeLuna Fest in Pensacola, FL. They played Unthought Known... it was amazing. Check them out live if you get a chance.
ChasingDogma hey there, is there somewhere I can check out your Given to Fly vid (it's blocked on UA-cam in UK)
Last June I were in Spain and went to see Eddie in Madrid. This year Madrid is on its knees as it is my lovely contry too because of this virus. And this summer we cannot go to rock 'n roll festivals and concerts. I will continue supporting my favourite bands in other ways. They are our voice and speak a in a soft, orderly, and yet powerful way.
This with Wishlist are the Pearl Jam songs I impress my closest people with (including girlfriends).
There is one thing though from this song that I learned it is a times not valid: "Dream the dreams of other men, you'll be no one's rival." Well, since I started dreaming the dreams of other men I attracted many more enemies than before!
5 years later I notice this is not the official video, that's how good it is ❤
It has many elements of official music videos, city images of people walking in slow motion, the frame by frame pigeons taking flight, but indeed, pearl jam is a great band and many of their songs has more than one unofficial music video. My other favorite unofficial .usic video is this stitched on hundreds of hours of live video in 2011 Toronto for Keep On Rocking In The Free World. Just flawless audio video sync

Favorite song by Pearl Jam, right next to "Just Breathe" and "State of Love and Trust".
Awesome lyrics, awesome video, awesome music. AWESOME
I have to tell you - this video is awesome! Good job...
Great song! :)
Awesome montage, perfect song. Thank you.
Chasing Dogma: Your video is PERFECT. Congrats on capturing the essence of Ed's masterpiece. Thank you! This song elevates me to such a place of innocence and perfection. Euphoria, a poster below says. He is absolutely correct in his description of this song.
nice clip, thanks for sharing , and of course an awesome song
one of the best bands of all time.
