Watched a documentary on autotune. Apparently we'd all be shocked at how many recordings used autotune. Not in the way rappers used it as an effect but before that as a cleanup tool. Producers were pissed when it stopped being a secret. The Cher song ruined it for them, ha.
I always loved this song and felt such a connection to it. Dad disappeared for a few years in my young life. This song, to me, reflects the grappling of dealing with one's father's absence. So powerful and explains my connection to it.
I personally feel this song in every way, have been a fan of pj since ten...my dad committed suicide when was 3, i never gotnto know him and there were many noghts as a little kid i would ask him why? Why werent myself and my sister good enough reason for him to stick around...what was so scary and unmanageable that ending his life was a better alternative.
Wow. I was at this concert. It was just after their release of the album Ten. Thanks so much for this reaction. Love it. It's one of my most memorable concerts ever. It was at a small stage in a club called Melkweg, whitch means Milkyway. I was in heaven that night, for sure. Eddie did a crazy dive from the balcony into the crowd, whilst singing!, crowd "surfed" him back onto the stage. Absolutely legendary. But mainly cause of the impeccable singing and musicianship of the whole band. Love, Nancy from Amsterdam ✌💋
When his voice cracked there, it’s like exactly off the album. That’s how crazy this was. I usually hate when people do live shit before hearing the actual song but this was impressive
Thanks Nick for doing my request. The song is about how Eddie (the vocalist) is dealing with the loss of his father and how he feels he needs to be “released” by him to be able to move on with his life. This song is effectively a letter to him asking him to release him. Be worth you going back and re listen to the lyrics again so that you can really feel the power of the song and the performance, especially when he is belting. But thanks again for the reaction!
He puts it all in this song. When he's leaning forward "wait up all night for you to speak to meeeeeeeee", he's putting his whole soul into. Greatest live performances of any song, by any1, ever.
This song is so beautiful. Goosebumps for days and ive had the same reaction for 30 years. I'm tearing up just watching this. I enjoyed your reaction. Ed is something special. All passion.
During the grunge era, Chris C. Eddie V. Layne S. Ruled this type rock, They would sing their butts off . That’s why I went from Classic rock straight to grunge.
I love this song..."oh dear dad, can you see me now? I am myself, like you somehow" resonates with me. I lost my Dad almost 4 years ago and miss him every day!! I wanted this song for his funeral....but it was too heavy for such a shockingly sad time. But whenever this song plays, I stop and the tears roll, as I am myself, but like him somehow ❤
Till the day I die, I will pay any amount to see these guys. Pearl Jam here you go just take it $$$$$ fan for life👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🙏🙏 these dudes bring it Hard!!
Probably one of the best albums ever! Not bad for a debut! His voice is hauntingly good. I just finally got to see them in concert in Oakland a month ago!
This is such a deep emotional song. It has personal meaning in my life. It's hard to hear this, but I am glad you are doing this one. Sometimes we need to face our past to heal. :)
Great reaction as usual...you appear to like the same vocalists as myself i.e. Jimmy, Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder. Some more Pearl Jam reactions please.
Bro, I’ve always liked PJ not a huge fan but enjoyed the stuff they’ve put out. But man!! I saw them last year with my 14 year old daughter..now I’m all in. That was in September of 2023 it’s now April 2024 and I can’t stop listening to them awesome American Band 👏👏🤘👍
I've always loved Eddie but I heard this song at the end of a movie the other day & it was just a whole mood at the moment. You put so much thought into your reaction. I loved it & thank you ❣
Eddie Vedder is a legend. Check out some other great Pearl Jam tracks as well as some of Eddie's solo gear. I particularly like the soundtrack from the movie "Into the Wild".
I love your reaction. I can highly recommend one of the most vocal dynamic example from soft gentle to all of a sudden soar over mountains is from a song by Rufus Wainwright called "Go or Go Ahead" the air in this guys lungs and his phrasing is mind blowing. seriously if you like this you will love that. lol that sounded weird.
When Pearl Jam came out and I saw Eddie vedder on, I believe Saturday night live climbing the cage. I was blown away with the intensity and emotion that he put into the songs. I'm not a big fan of later music but coming out the gate it was amazing
The ten album is unmatched...every track...vs. was good.....the rest of the pj catalog pales in comparison to the first album..it is literally the early 90s embodied..
@Albert Casper you just didn't listen enough of the albums, like u did the first 2-3. I guarantee if you listen to every album 2x a day for a week, you'll think no code might be better than ten. Vitalogy i sometimes think is. The avacado album is way better than VS. The only album i never got into was riot act. I could only of named 2-3 songs from the album. A few months ago i gave it a go, it's amazing, so different, but it's a top to bottom album. Just like every other one they've made. Their studio catalog is 165 songs deep. Every, single song is great. Great, great. There is no other band that can come close to saying that. Van Morrison. Tom waitts. Maybe the closest. Dave Matthew's band close. If the stones stopped in the mid 80s, they could of said it. Billy Joel close. Nirvana. U2. Zepp(stole too many songs). Blind melon. Cornell. Pearl jam, it's every song. They have a lot that didn't make the albums, they're all great. The covers they do are great. I'll tell you who comes really close, might surprise ya, kings of Leon. I haven't heard a bad song yet. Eminem. Cypress hill could of after their first 4 albums. Every song, every album of the first 4. I put PJs discography on, and hit shuffle, and i never have to skip s song.
Sometimes the emotion overrides the purity of the voice. This is it. He may not be a voice coaches 10. But for pure emotion his voice still kills it......
Edit* (I don't the YT app so I can't edit lol) I wanted to add that they opened with that yesterday in Copenhagen, amazing to ne able to yell out loud with thousands of more people "Release me!", also Eddie looks up and asks "Oh dead dar, can you see this now?" instead of "me" (now) which I find awesome
Can you teach me to sing? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I don’t think there’s any hope too old now. I was able to lead the singing in a small country church back in the 90s. There’s one thing that I do know if you don’t use it you’ll lose it……well unless your natural voice gets there effortlessly. And there is such a thing even though they have to practice too. When you are within 10 feet of someone that can actually sang? It’s a wow moment for sure.
We know Eddie’s , life history though his music, this is part two ,to I’m still alive, where his mom, never told him who his father really was, till he died, this is him trying to reach out to his dad. You can really see how this upset him. My favorite baritone singer.
4:29, you’re right. I watched a voice coach reaction video of Lara Fabian where the voice coach said the same thing. Where she was holding a very long ending note and moving her lives just lightly up and down. They say that singing is a movement, because were using air which moves, so it is very helpful to guide your voice when you are moving a part of your body whether it’s your arms or your lips or something like that. In order to keep a note steady.
I know ur crazy about vocals, now, this band "queensryche" Lead Singer Geoff Tate!! This dude saaaaannnngs!!! Check out "take hold of the flame" live in Tokyo, my brotha ur won't regret it!! I'm telling u!!!
Would love to see you check out an Aussie rock band band called "the Butterfly Effect" they have a song called... a slow decent... off their second album titled Imago... Think you might enjoy it...
Noticed you're a big Chris Cornell fan as well as Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam), you should checkout "I'm Going Hungry" by Temple of the Dog, where they collab.
I like your videos, cause you stop the video, but you explain what you mean.. u know what the heck you are talking about. u know what.. you're a pearl jam fan.. u gotta start going to their concerts. Cause even tho this video was peak Vedder's vocals.. the way the band plays today is soo much better. The music is so much richer, than in the 90's. atleast that's my take away.
No autotune, kids......There was a time when singers sang...
BIG FACTS

@@4Realzeaz how? It was invented in 1997 so it couldn’t have been in that many songs before Cher’s song came out
@@lebigfin5251 auto tune has been around for years. But just in different forms. All it is, is changing pitch of certain parts of the vocal sample
@user-yz1id7wc7q Sorry to bother you, Crystal Generation...
"I wait up in the dark, for you to speak to me" from a teenage boy to the deceased dad he never knew. It crushes me every single time

Not a big pearl jam fan but this song!! fuck man.w.t.f? I can't listen to it too often.
@@Gary-os1sr imagine singing it at the top of your lungs with 20,000 of your new closest friends. The room never has dry eyes when they play it live

I wait up in the dark....for you to speak to me....
I've been holding off listening to this song since my dad passed away last month. I think it's going to hit hard.
Seen them live back in 90’s was unreal his voice is one of a kind ❤️
Pearl Jam is my favourite band of all time!
Eddie and Pearl Jam was my 20s. Miss the 90s music. What a treasure we had all of that beautiful music. ❤
Till the day I die, I will pay any amount to see these guys. Pearl Jam here you go just take it $$$$$ fan for life👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🙏🙏 these dudes bring it Hard!!
Probably one of the best albums ever! Not bad for a debut! His voice is hauntingly good. I just finally got to see them in concert in Oakland a month ago!
This brought back memories I always liked everything they did also
One of the few groups that can sound as good live as they do on their album. Eddie vedder's voice is a treasure I love it so much
This is such a deep emotional song. It has personal meaning in my life. It's hard to hear this, but I am glad you are doing this one. Sometimes we need to face our past to heal. :)
So excited that you reacted to this! This is my very favorite Pearl Jam song. 🖤
It’s pure beauty, he’s masterful. Stay blessed everyone.
Banger!!!
Great request keep ‘em coming …PJ is 🙌 PJ live is 🤯
Truest statement ever🤍🤘🏻
Just saw them in Hyde Park 2 days ago and they were fire. Eddie still belts it out and the whole band still rocks.
Someone release this man.... Thanks so much for that comment..... I had a shit Friday , but you made me laugh until cried ..cheers from South Africa
Eddie is a legend in rock music....
I saw them live in Sydney for the first ever Australian tour......
Brilliant
One of the best of the era!
Ever. Period. Every song on every album(except riot act imo) is masterful.
Great reaction as usual...you appear to like the same vocalists as myself i.e. Jimmy, Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder. Some more Pearl Jam reactions please.
Great album. This was one of those that never got air play
I was there!

Out of furnace - masterpiece !
@@Madredneck Yessssss that was it !
@@Madredneck totally. i loved that movie and LOVED the way this song added to the emotional triggers of that story

His voice on society, and guaranteed is mesmerizing.

You should check out Hunger Strike from Temple of the Dog. He was a part of that group with Chris Cornell and it's a great duet.
The vibrato is unmatched.
Sometimes the emotion overrides the purity of the voice. This is it. He may not be a voice coaches 10. But for pure emotion his voice still kills it......
Great reaction!
You should listen to “Oceans” by Pearl Jam on MTV Unplugged. Shows off the vocal range.
You're so pleasant to watch, and have a beautiful voice, 3 minutes in I subscribed. Wondering if you already watched Oceans unplugged, amazing
Edit* (I don't the YT app so I can't edit lol) I wanted to add that they opened with that yesterday in Copenhagen, amazing to ne able to yell out loud with thousands of more people "Release me!", also Eddie looks up and asks "Oh dead dar, can you see this now?" instead of "me" (now) which I find awesome

I know ur crazy about vocals, now, this band "queensryche"
Lead Singer Geoff Tate!! This dude saaaaannnngs!!! Check out "take hold of the flame" live in Tokyo, my brotha ur won't regret it!! I'm telling u!!!
queensryche is an excellent band!
The best!
Check out Oceans from mtv unplugged…. To see his full range….. u will understand…peace
Great bass guitar on that particular track..Jeff ament is very underrated
It's a love song to his surf board.
this is about his Dad he never knew
That crack is intentional.
💚💚💚💚💚
Soooou a ❤😂
"somebody release this man!" you're hilarious
Eddie Vedder might not be a great classical "vocalist" but he is an extremely exceptional expressionist
I wish you would do the record version of this song. It's on the album 10
Why? This blows the studio version away. It's wasaaay better. It's the greatest performance of any song, by any1, ever.
Would love to see you check out an Aussie rock band band called "the Butterfly Effect" they have a song called... a slow decent... off their second album titled Imago... Think you might enjoy it...
As great as this vocal is(and it give me chills), this also shows why they were a different band after Dave Abbruzzese. LEGENDARY 90s drummer.
They really changed after Dave krusen
I Liverpool Eddie Veeder ❤
This is hard to do live. It's all breath control. Oceans unplugged is a great one too!
Noticed you're a big Chris Cornell fan as well as Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam), you should checkout "I'm Going Hungry" by Temple of the Dog, where they collab.
Hey man, get back to some Pearl Jam Unplugged. ;) Please!
Vedder = goat.
i am myself like you somehow
I like your videos, cause you stop the video, but you explain what you mean.. u know what the heck you are talking about. u know what.. you're a pearl jam fan.. u gotta start going to their concerts. Cause even tho this video was peak Vedder's vocals.. the way the band plays today is soo much better. The music is so much richer, than in the 90's. atleast that's my take away.
they one from Italy is better. great song pick
Not one person is better than vedder .
