Today is 5/17/2024. Turning 61 has been tough. Having issues with health. I miss my parents and my grandparents. The ones who I could go to and cry. I love my Husband and 3 children and 2 Grandsons. I love this song because of its mercy, love and purity. Ive been a wife and Mom but now wondering what will be my legacy. I dont have pity parties. I just feel somedays the sands in my hourglass are almost gone. Time has so much value. I miss those simple days. Thank You Pearl Jam.
I turned 63 on 4/22/2024. On 6/3/ 2024 I got my PET scan results. Needless to say, I am also thinking about a lot of things. Hoping for the sake of my daughter (not myself) I'm strong enough to endure what lies ahead. P.S. To all you smokers / vapers out there, I hope you can quit before it's too late. Love and good vibes to all. xx
I hear you. Turned 65 in June. Starting to have health problems. Missing my parents so much. My husband isn’t very caring. I could always feel loved by my mom and dad.
37 dislikes? 37 people who have never loved,lived, been hurt and been blessed. How lucky are we to have a band like pearl jam, with an artist like eddie vedder and their ability to continue writing songs of substance. Very Very lucky! Thank You Pearl Jam!!!
If anyone from Pearl Jam or anyone associated with them just so happens to read this comment.....I want you to know, that this song is one of my all time most favorite songs ever. This song literally speaks to your soul, and your heart. The vocals and simple melody is just outstanding. This is nice to hear....when everyone else is recording club music...Im glad to hear some REAL musical talent.
I played this song at my dad’s funeral last year. My heart aches to think I only had 21 years of my life with him. This song holds a special place in my heart just as he does and couldn’t hold more true to who my father was. He lived through years of pain for me and was the most giving man I know. He even allowed me the gift of being present during his last breath. I miss him today. “Nothing you would take Everything you gave Hold me 'til I die Meet you on the other side”
Yesterday my Dad suddenly died from a heart attack. This song gives me solace and allows me to tap into my emotions. I know I will be needing it for some time to come. The simple truths to this song transcend all languages and religions. It is truths like these that are the real Tounges language mentioned in the Bible. I am very grateful for Eddie's gift to us all.
My mother died of a rare disease in January 2019, and this song always makes me think of her. Particularly the lines: "Everything you gave And nothing you would take" It's been more than two years now, and this song still makes me cry because of that connection.
My Dad will be gone a year this Aug. I had Willie Nelson's remake of this beautiful song for his service, not a dry eye in the room. These men have some very powerful voices
My cat just passed after being my best friend for 14 years, and this song is beautiful. My boyfriend is a huge Pearl Jam fan, and I think the songs are good for when there is beautiful mourning to be had. I am going to do great things in my life, and my cat will be a part of everything I do because I had him from ages 8-22.
11 years ago tonight I discovered Pearl Jam through this song. My mother had passed away 8am that morning. It was late in the evening and I couldn't sleep, so I started playing some of her favourite songs on youtube, Jim Reeves, Johnny Cash, Bobbie Vee, Don Williams. It was while I was listening to Johnny Cash that I kept seeing Eddie Vedder's and Pearl Jam's name coming up. So out of curiosity I pressed the first track .And It was this. 'Just Breathe'.. It got me through that night.
A man who screamed my youth's angst and dimemmas back in a time when I was a young man, now harmoniously voices my afterthoughts in my old age! Thank YOU Mr. Eddie Veddar! You still rock!
Philip's wife here...My Niece just passed away unexpededly...so horrible...this song is very beautiful....we are all in shock...36 yrs old...so sad...will never see her again...
One of those rare moments where the fusion of poignant lyrics are perfectly matched with phenomenal (and exquisitely simple) music writing. This is the kinda song that others aspire to write....
I dont wanna breathe, I'm forced to, but this song is reminder that if I have to, I gotta try to remember that I'm blessed even in my trials and tribulation
"Did I say that I need you? Did I say that I want you? If I didn't I'm a fool you see, no one knows that more than me, as I come clean..." Absolutely beautiful.
when my husband died this song was so comforting to me! it's hard to watch someone die of cancer we were married 27 years that was 10 years ago I still grieve but this song still speaks to me
Nov 12, 2011 will be one year since we lost my husband & father of 4 to cancer. This is the song choosen for his memorial service. We will survive but it's so hard without him. Thanks Pearl Jam for music that says all that needs to be said. I can only imagine you were facing a loss when this was written.
Chosen this song for my own ending Pure and simple it says every single thing to be said about my Life.. 73 yrs old a wife and a mum to 3 kids and 4 grandsons.. It shows my failings in the life I chose and admits to those I have been lucky enough to Love the errors I have made.. But I have been Lucky to have loved unconditionally for all my time. Pearl Jam is the favourite of my second child & she introduced me to this song..I will be eternally grateful for that. Not many songs are all encompassing but Just breathe is that one song for me.. Some people are put on this Earth to shine and show us all our strengths and faults. Eddie Vedder is one of those.. (Sue Birchall)
Thank you Mr. Eddie Vedder! A man who once screamed my youth's angst and dilemmas, now harmoniously voices my afterthoughts. Thank you Eddie, you still rock!
As I sit back and reflect on the years this song always reminds me of that true primal fear of being alone. This song tell's me that these feelings are not unique to me, but only part of the human condition. Man if I only had slowed down enough to realize how true these words are. I made my choice, now I must live with it. But, it still is such a bitter-sweet expression. Thanks Eddie for reminding me I'm not alone, all-the-while not letting me forget my lonleness.
A Guy played this at my buddys funeral, he died from drug overdose and i didnt cry the whole time but as soon as this came in i lost it. Gave a whole new meaning to the song. cant stop listening. Love you nigel zane valentine god bless
This song makes me think of my mother. She was an angel, she would give someone in need the shirt off her back and expect nothing in return.. She loved me unconditionally and was always my biggest fan. I love you, Rest in peace mama 😪
I lost my mom to brain cancer. This song brings me to tears every time that i hear it, It makes me think of her and her battle. She was the best mother and I miss her so much. Pearl Jam is my favorite band and Eddie put so much emotion into this. Thanks P.J.
i swear the tears just fall whenever i hear this song. its like those box of tissues you go to at the end of the day to let out all the pain and frustration. "stay with me, lets just breathe..." in some ways, its a reminder to just sit down and breathe, enjoy this life you have.
from TEN years ago: topherdean: 37 dislikes? 37 people who have never loved,lived, been hurt and been blessed. How lucky are we to have a band like pearl jam, with an artist like eddie vedder and their ability to continue writing songs of substance. Very Very lucky! Thank You Pearl Jam!!!
I've followed these guy's ever since TEN, I agree, this is the best song ever written and sung by someone that brought it life. Someone that gave it meaning and life. Where would music be without Eddie Vedder?
I think this is Pearl Jam's best song. So much emotion behind it, both good and bad. It's like getting hit with a nostalgia blast of all the people who have come and gone in your life in musical form.
I came across this song on a Pearl Jam playlist and was awestruck. So many emotions are touched while listening to this song, and at the end it gives me peace. It's amazing that one song can allow you to close your eyes and remind you of the simplest thing in life- to just breathe. Thank you, Pearl Jam.
this just seems like the perfect tune to just take a step back and let out some emotions..today has been the hardest day of lock down so far..trying to stay positive trying to keep my mind occupied but after so many weeks of boredom the emotional state of mind seems to be running hi..i hope that by morning comes the mood has lifted and a positive state of mind has returned....
Heard this song after I lost my boy Duke. It was so devastating. This song fit exactly how I felt. Grief is just the unexpressed love we have for those we lost.
This song just opens the heart. Brings back those feelings we have towards those who we love and have passed on. Makes me miss my dad so much. He's been gone for over 20 years.
lost mine at 10 years old, its not easy but those of us who fight learn how to get through life better. I am currently going on 27 years old, and can tell you all the most important thing to do is keep pushing through all the pain. My dad was just 31 when he left us.
my father died the december before last- I had never heard this song before. There he layed a half an hour before his death. We light some candle's and I sat beside him holding his hand. His wife said please put on some music used satilite radio, My brother turned on- and this song began playing. It will always mean the world to. EVery time I miss him I go back here to search out the song. It means the world too me. I cry everytime-- but they're tears of love and great memories.
This song is so beautiful. It only reminds me even more of my girl I lost a year ago. Thanks, Pearl Jam, for continuing to showcase what music really is and what it really can be.
I went to visit a friend of mine dying of cancer at the age of 32. I was lucky and unlucky to see him in his last breaths. When I was a home I put on my music on random and this song came on. I cannot not help but to think of him each time that I hear this song. Thank you Pearl Jam for a lovely song that evokes memories of my homie.
A man who screamed my youth's angst and dilemmas back in a time when I was a young man, now harmoniously voices my afterthoughts in my old age. Thank you Mr. Veddar! When I hear this song I can almost taste the rain in the hair I once had, feel the rain on the back of my neck, the smell of my clove cigarette burning valiantly in the northwestern wind, and the audible sound of my Frye boots on The Ave' sidewalk as I walk to a destination only my soul remembers!
what a beautiful song, the lyrics inspire and give hope. i think every once in a while we all need to stop just breathe and be thankful for those we love and who love us, and we should tell them what they mean to us. i wish i had the chance to say goodbye to my dad but he never woke from his coma, tell those you love, exactly that, that you love them, we never know if an hour from now will be too late.
Love this song for many of the reasons commented on here before me. My identical twin brother died of a brain cancer August 2015 after a courageous fight from onset of symptoms summer 2014...I was already a PJ fan, but this song helped me with the painful loss of my brother, and furthered my admiration of PJ
sounds rather silly but last Thursday morning we had to put our 16 year old Beagle down. After leaving the vets office I sat in the car and cried. I started the car and the radio came on and this song, this beauiful song came on immediately. I love this song.
Kristina Phillips not silly at all... dogs are our family. I lost two sisters on the same day last year, it was the hardest day ever, not one but two 14 year old sisters, born together died together... I'll never buy siblings again. Way too hard.. I know they're waiting for us on that bridge..
You are blessed. I have experienced a similar karma coincidence through song and emotional event in my life. Just means you're living a good life. We always think karma will get you back for had behavior. It also gifts you for good.
every time i hear this song i cry....Can't help it.... as many of you i lost my father... i didn't grew up with him... but it hurts!!! it really does that he is gone!!! This song i dedicate it to all of you like me that miss our father !!!
Pearl Jam sings And I realize That the love never dies No matter how many lies No matter how much we hurt Each other need No matter how much we regret Nothing that was meant We love each other so Eddies voice reminds That there is no time And that all this pain Is nothing but lies And we couldn’t cause Suffering if we tried But we believe that The good can die And separation try Cry, wonder why Why wonder my As I come clean
Hello Amanda Moring, how are you doing today? I'm glad you're a fan, and It's my pleasure meeting you here. Is this song one of your 5 most favorite songs?
Amazing artists making true music. Music that grabs your very soul, makes you a bit hollow and lifts you up at the same time. The bittersweet feeling of being human. And it feels good.
This song is like a beautiful, deep and clear pond of water. You see the play of sun's rays on the water, the reflections of the trees..and you are mesmerized. Then you walk up to the edge and see that the water is transparent and the pond deep. Standing there, taking it all in, you find yourself both tranquil yet, with an undercurrent of longing. The gift of poetry and prose in songwriting is rare. Eddie has it and his singing voices not just the lyrics, but their rhythm and cadence as well.
Great footage; well done! Thank you. Eddie Vedder (and Pearl Jam) is the very best of us. And this is one of the most beautiful songs of all time. He understands the reality of the human condition and conveys it with such compassion and empathy: "I'm a lucky man to count on both hands the ones that I love. Some folks just have one; others, they've got none." And he recognizes the crime and tragedy of failing to share his love for another person with that person, so that they know they're loved: "Did I [tell you] that I need you? Did I [tell you] that I want you? If I didn't, I'm a fool."
The veterinarian turned the lights down in the room before he gave our pug the injection. I put this song in one of my earbuds as I held him. His crossing over is etched into my memories with this song. How beautiful and horrible this life is at the same time. Peace to all of you who know what I mean.
I lost my son almost 6 months ago, He was a great admirer of Eddie Vedder. Eddie was coming to our Town on his Ukulele tour, however it was canceled. My son Jeremy never got to see him. This song pretty much describes my son. All though he was taken at 15, he lived an incredible life. It was filled with love, faith, and in the end,,, peace. You'll be forever in my heart ...I love you son~ Mom ^j^
I lost my buddy Sancho over a year ago. This song makes me think of him and ache. It is a good thing though because I have not gotten over losing him. I am currently "babysitting" my parent's dogs and am finally feeling as though I could replace my first puppy love. Thanks PJ for giving my heart a song for my grief.
dude this song always makes my day i think he is going to get a special place in heaven because he definitely diserves one. i think hes trying to say that there there are so many misfortunes in this world and theres so many things we can do. Eddie Vedder is a saint and we all know it.
I was separated from my son six years ago. This year I will have been without him for as long as I was with him. Discovered this song tonight and have listened upward of ten times. And cried every single time.
This song is absolutely amazing. His voice is incredible & it truly moves me. I heard it at a funeral last year. It will always remind me of that person. Gosh, I have to say one of Eddie's best.
thank god 4 your baby!!!!!! i also have a 4 year old daughter whose mother died in july. not at all the same thing but a struggle is a struggle. my point is its a blessing she has a caring parent who is there 2 get her through the pain & share the pleasures in life, even the simple 1's like enjoying a song as beutiful as this or baking cookies 4 that matter. i hope she keeps doing good & our thoughts will be with you both 4 a happy future
who ever writes a son like this should know the true meaning of life! This is beautiful... (said by a guy who already past away and came back to see life with other eyes)
UNOFFICIAL!!! Are you serious? This is the best Pearl Jam (JAM), I have ever heard. Eddie Vedder has the voice of a true Rock God, I bought the album, TEN , in the early 90's, thought it was the greatest vocals of any artist, Boy, was I wrong!! Eddie has out done himself.
Today is 5/17/2024. Turning 61 has been tough. Having issues with health. I miss my parents and my grandparents. The ones who I could go to and cry. I love my Husband and 3 children and 2 Grandsons. I love this song because of its mercy, love and purity. Ive been a wife and Mom but now wondering what will be my legacy. I dont have pity parties. I just feel somedays the sands in my hourglass are almost gone. Time has so much value. I miss those simple days. Thank You Pearl Jam.
I turned 63 on 4/22/2024. On 6/3/ 2024 I got my PET scan results. Needless to say, I am also thinking about a lot of things. Hoping for the sake of my daughter (not myself) I'm strong enough to endure what lies ahead. P.S. To all you smokers / vapers out there, I hope you can quit before it's too late. Love and good vibes to all. xx
Same buddy hang in there
4th pacemaker at 54
Peace and love be with you. I hope you have more time more fun and more love for this quick look at the realm of physical existence.
I hear you. Turned 65 in June. Starting to have health problems. Missing my parents so much. My husband isn’t very caring. I could always feel loved by my mom and dad.
37 dislikes? 37 people who have never loved,lived, been hurt and been blessed. How lucky are we to have a band like pearl jam, with an artist like eddie vedder and their ability to continue writing songs of substance. Very Very lucky! Thank You Pearl Jam!!!
Amen!!!
Well said! How can anyone dislike this epic tune?!
Beautiful song!!!!!🔥❤️✨
I guess every 37 people saw this comment and liked instead!!
I can’t see the dislikes anymore
UA-cam is a bunch of pussies for hiding the “thumbs down”
If anyone from Pearl Jam or anyone associated with them just so happens to read this comment.....I want you to know, that this song is one of my all time most favorite songs ever. This song literally speaks to your soul, and your heart. The vocals and simple melody is just outstanding.

“Nothing you would take
Everything you gave
Hold me 'til I die
Meet you on the other side”
I had almost 16 I get it trust me this might sound weird but it gets easier
I listened to this thinking about my father with Alzheimers. He's still here but not quite, it's very hard.
☆ ♡♡♡ ☆
what an amazing daughter 🙏🏼
God Bless You and your father! May he rest in peace
Yesterday my Dad suddenly died from a heart attack. This song gives me solace and allows me to tap into my emotions. I know I will be needing it for some time to come. The simple truths to this song transcend all languages and religions. It is truths like these that are the real Tounges language mentioned in the Bible. I am very grateful for Eddie's gift to us all.
My mother died of a rare disease in January 2019, and this song always makes me think of her. Particularly the lines:
"Everything you gave
And nothing you would take"
It's been more than two years now, and this song still makes me cry because of that connection.
Rest In Peace to the family members of both of you.
I’m so sorry for your loss of your beloved father. I lost mine in November. Time helps and we always have our memories. God bless you 🙏
My Dad will be gone a year this Aug. I had Willie Nelson's remake of this beautiful song for his service, not a dry eye in the room. These men have some very powerful voices
My cat just passed after being my best friend for 14 years, and this song is beautiful. My boyfriend is a huge Pearl Jam fan, and I think the songs are good for when there is beautiful mourning to be had. I am going to do great things in my life, and my cat will be a part of everything I do because I had him from ages 8-22.
Hello Emily Burch, how are you doing today? I'm glad you're a fan, and It's my pleasure meeting you here. I hope this song brings you good memories.
I feel your pain I miss my Lucy and Milo cats every day ♡ their brother hears their names every day still
11 years ago tonight I discovered Pearl Jam through this song. My mother had passed away 8am that morning. It was late in the evening and I couldn't sleep, so I started playing some of her favourite songs on youtube, Jim Reeves, Johnny Cash, Bobbie Vee, Don Williams.

It got me through that night.

> _Lovely Mum"!_ < ; )
Amen little/big brother or sister 🙏
I know some of that pain....only you know it all
A man who screamed my youth's angst and dimemmas back in a time when I was a young man, now harmoniously voices my afterthoughts in my old age! Thank YOU Mr. Eddie Veddar! You still rock!
My friend, this is as eloquently as i could have hoped to express this exact feeling
This song and lyrics puts tears to this 46 year old mans eyes. Thanks Eddie and PJ for this memory.
This band is the only reason I haven't left this planet yet.
As someone once said, there's only one thing wrong with this song. It ends.
7 years late but still that’s so true
Been listening to it on loop tonight. Am composing a song to the woman I love and this gem is the inspiration.
So true. Stay safe.
By far my favorite PJ song! And that's not easy for me too pick a favorite from their catalog of great tunes!
AMEM brother
Philip's wife here...My Niece just passed away unexpededly...so horrible...this song is very beautiful....we are all in shock...36 yrs old...so sad...will never see her again...
One of those rare moments where the fusion of poignant lyrics are perfectly matched with phenomenal (and exquisitely simple) music writing.
This is the kinda song that others aspire to write....
I dont wanna breathe, I'm forced to, but this song is reminder that if I have to, I gotta try to remember that I'm blessed even in my trials and tribulation
Another reason, yet another reason, why Pearl Jam will always be one of the greatest bands!
"Did I say that I need you? Did I say that I want you? If I didn't I'm a fool you see, no one knows that more than me, as I come clean..." Absolutely beautiful.
when my husband died this song was so comforting to me! it's hard to watch someone die of cancer we were married 27 years that was 10 years ago I still grieve but this song still speaks to me
Hugs......
Alesia Barnes ❤️
Great song
Alesia Barnes I'm so sorry
I lost my husband...cancer
Alesia Barnes god bless
Nov 12, 2011 will be one year since we lost my husband & father of 4 to cancer. This is the song choosen for his memorial service. We will survive but it's so hard without him. Thanks Pearl Jam for music that says all that needs to be said. I can only imagine you were facing a loss when this was written.
This makes me cry for my beloved father I lost in November. See you in heaven Dad🙏
Glad he had at least one :)
Chosen this song for my own ending Pure and simple it says every single thing to be said about my Life.. 73 yrs old a wife and a mum to 3 kids and 4 grandsons.. It shows my failings in the life I chose and admits to those I have been lucky enough to Love the errors I have made.. But I have been Lucky to have loved unconditionally for all my time.

Well put
+Erik Ekholm ~ thank you Erik for understanding.
Regards, Eric.
love this song
😀
Damn well said
This is such a beautiful song...I think of my Dad and all my friends and family that I've lost.
I lost my tortoise today. He was a good guy, brought us a lot of joy, we'll miss him. RIP Clyde, see you on the other side. Good tune.
Buried my best friend today. This song hits the spot. Miss you Casey. See you soon my brother.
I obviously don't know you or your Casey, but when you say, "see you soon," i promise he's up there saying no take your time. Don't rush it, friend.
I agree with Jeff Garnes. And it was even Eddie Vedder who said "living is the best revenge."
I'm a huge Pearl Jam fan and I honestly think that this is one of the better songs ever written.
As I sit back and reflect on the years this song always reminds me of that true primal fear of being alone. This song tell's me that these feelings are not unique to me, but only part of the human condition. Man if I only had slowed down enough to realize how true these words are. I made my choice, now I must live with it. But, it still is such a bitter-sweet expression. Thanks Eddie for reminding me I'm not alone, all-the-while not letting me forget my lonleness.
Eddie is one of the best gifts music has ever gotten! Shame they don't make much music like this anymore!
A Guy played this at my buddys funeral, he died from drug overdose and i didnt cry the whole time but as soon as this came in i lost it. Gave a whole new meaning to the song. cant stop listening. Love you nigel zane valentine god bless
This song makes me think of my mother. She was an angel, she would give someone in need the shirt off her back and expect nothing in return.. She loved me unconditionally and was always my biggest fan. I love you, Rest in peace mama 😪
I lost my mom to brain cancer. This song brings me to tears every time that i hear it, It makes me think of her and her battle. She was the best mother and I miss her so much. Pearl Jam is my favorite band and Eddie put so much emotion into this. Thanks P.J.
i swear the tears just fall whenever i hear this song. its like those box of tissues you go to at the end of the day to let out all the pain and frustration. "stay with me, lets just breathe..."
in some ways, its a reminder to just sit down and breathe, enjoy this life you have.
Just heard this song while watching the show Castle and had to come to UA-cam and find it and save it my music list. Very beautiful!
This song is guaranteed to bring tears to your eyes if you have any soul at all!
from TEN years ago:
topherdean: 37 dislikes? 37 people who have never loved,lived, been hurt and been blessed. How lucky are we to have a band like pearl jam, with an artist like eddie vedder and their ability to continue writing songs of substance. Very Very lucky! Thank You Pearl Jam!!!

Eddies voice is just like fine wine. It gets better with time. Thank God for Pearl Jam
I agree. Eddie’s voice has the ability to make you HEAR emotions!
this just seems like the perfect tune to just take a step back and let out some emotions..today has been the hardest day of lock down so far..trying to stay positive trying to keep my mind occupied but after so many weeks of boredom the emotional state of mind seems to be running hi..i hope that by morning comes the mood has lifted and a positive state of mind has returned....
I hope that things have gotten better, brother.

It's astounding how a few words, a few sounds and a certain tone of voice mixed together is all it takes to truly move people.
Wonderful song.

Ill never get sick of this song... it's amazing, and has so much meaning
I think the comments on this video are the most touching and positive that I have ever seen. Thanks Pearl Jam!
Probably one of the most amazing songs written and sang. Simple but poignant and beautiful.
This song is so beautiful. It only reminds me even more of my girl I lost a year ago. Thanks, Pearl Jam, for continuing to showcase what music really is and what it really can be.
Man, wish he was singing this to me. Makes me feel like I'm home, wherever that is.
I went to visit a friend of mine dying of cancer at the age of 32. I was lucky and unlucky to see him in his last breaths. When I was a home I put on my music on random and this song came on. I cannot not help but to think of him each time that I hear this song. Thank you Pearl Jam for a lovely song that evokes memories of my homie.

Amen to that!
By far the most heart-felt and profound love song I have ever heard. Makes me cry.
Chiudi gli occhi e lasciati trasportare da queste note .. da questa voce meravigliosa......
Love this song for many of the reasons commented on here before me. My identical twin brother died of a brain cancer August 2015 after a courageous fight from onset of symptoms summer 2014...I was already a PJ fan, but this song helped me with the painful loss of my brother, and furthered my admiration of PJ
This song is the best of the best it covers all aspects of life in general and I cry every time I listen to it for my own private reasons.
sounds rather silly but last Thursday morning we had to put our 16 year old Beagle down. After leaving the vets office I sat in the car and cried. I started the car and the radio came on and this song, this beauiful song came on immediately. I love this song.
Kristina Phillips not silly at all... dogs are our family. I lost two sisters on the same day last year, it was the hardest day ever, not one but two 14 year old sisters, born together died together... I'll never buy siblings again. Way too hard..
I know they're waiting for us on that bridge..
not at all silly. without those tears there would never have been love. you got to love and be loved and thats always a great thing.
I am so sorry for your loss. You got me crying here
my lab -staffy had to be put down,brain tumour ,dogs have souls and give so much ,I miss her every day ……….
You are blessed. I have experienced a similar karma coincidence through song and emotional event in my life. Just means you're living a good life. We always think karma will get you back for had behavior. It also gifts you for good.
every time i hear this song i cry....Can't help it.... as many of you i lost my father... i didn't grew up with him... but it hurts!!! it really does that he is gone!!! This song i dedicate it to all of you like me that miss our father !!!
Pearl Jam sings
And I realize
That the love never dies
No matter how many lies
No matter how much we hurt
Each other need
No matter how much we regret
Nothing that was meant
We love each other so
Eddies voice reminds
That there is no time
And that all this pain
Is nothing but lies
And we couldn’t cause
Suffering if we tried
But we believe that
The good can die
And separation try
Cry, wonder why
Why wonder my
As I come clean

My bestie told me this is her favorite song. To love and lose is better than not that have loved at all.
I've lost my youth due to chronic Lyme Disease, this song brings hope to my healing
Jon CHow are you doing now? I have the same illness and I am not getting better. Pearl Jam is one of my fav bands.
This Song Amazingly BEAUTIFUL 😍
I am so obsessed w this song. One of my faves for sure. Thank you for posting.
Hello Amanda Moring, how are you doing today? I'm glad you're a fan, and It's my pleasure meeting you here. Is this song one of your 5 most favorite songs?
Amazing artists making true music. Music that grabs your very soul, makes you a bit hollow and lifts you up at the same time. The bittersweet feeling of being human. And it feels good.
Thinking of my ex-boyfriend. This was the song I told him we'd get married to. I'm realizing it's okay to listen to it and cry.

An odd request, but can I get an update on your life now? Very curious.
Your gonna be ok kid
@@chrisd5957 simply put, but very comforting.
Yes, it is ok 🥰
This song is like a beautiful, deep and clear pond of water. You see the play of sun's rays on the water, the reflections of the trees..and you are mesmerized. Then you walk up to the edge and see that the water is transparent and the pond deep. Standing there, taking it all in, you find yourself both tranquil yet, with an undercurrent of longing. The gift of poetry and prose in songwriting is rare. Eddie has it and his singing voices not just the lyrics, but their rhythm and cadence as well.
Victim of Narc abuse, finding my emotions again...oh there they are! breathing
same story...music is balm for the soul. God bless you and cure your wounds.
Great footage; well done! Thank you. Eddie Vedder (and Pearl Jam) is the very best of us. And this is one of the most beautiful songs of all time.
He understands the reality of the human condition and conveys it with such compassion and empathy: "I'm a lucky man to count on both hands the ones that I love. Some folks just have one; others, they've got none."
And he recognizes the crime and tragedy of failing to share his love for another person with that person, so that they know they're loved: "Did I [tell you] that I need you? Did I [tell you] that I want you? If I didn't, I'm a fool."
The veterinarian turned the lights down in the room before he gave our pug the injection. I put this song in one of my earbuds as I held him. His crossing over is etched into my memories with this song. How beautiful and horrible this life is at the same time. Peace to all of you who know what I mean.
Your comment brought tears to my eyes. Our Boxer is getting close, I think I'll do what you did. 💔
I lost my son almost 6 months ago, He was a great admirer of Eddie Vedder. Eddie was coming to our Town on his Ukulele tour, however it was canceled. My son Jeremy never got to see him. This song pretty much describes my son. All though he was taken at 15, he lived an incredible life. It was filled with love, faith, and in the end,,, peace. You'll be forever in my heart ...I love you son~ Mom ^j^
Ai meu Deus, estou chorando!
Acho que vou ter um mini infarto!
I lost my buddy Sancho over a year ago. This song makes me think of him and ache. It is a good thing though because I have not gotten over losing him. I am currently "babysitting" my parent's dogs and am finally feeling as though I could replace my first puppy love. Thanks PJ for giving my heart a song for my grief.
I cant get through this video once without bawling my eyes out lol
Zeke Zacierka Same! You are not alone :)

Try having your daughter walk down the isle to this song!! Her husband bawled the whole time!
dude this song always makes my day i think he is going to get a special place in heaven because he definitely diserves one. i think hes trying to say that there there are so many misfortunes in this world and theres so many things we can do. Eddie Vedder is a saint and we all know it.
still to this day....his voice takes me places
I like that I sometime forget this song exists and then stumble across it again and I just feel so happy and blessed
Love them -- this song and this video are amazing! Beautiful beautiful song!
this is one of those songs that is medicinal and therapeutic to listen to repeatedly
This song makes me well up every time
Me too
Yes 😭
I was separated from my son six years ago. This year I will have been without him for as long as I was with him. Discovered this song tonight and have listened upward of ten times. And cried every single time.
pure love :) namaste
This song is absolutely amazing. His voice is incredible & it truly moves me. I heard it at a funeral last year. It will always remind me of that person. Gosh, I have to say one of Eddie's best.
I listen to this song over and over and over again... 🌹
Rn
Pearl jam è una delle ultime band esistenti che continuano a fare davvero buona musica!!!!
my brother who took the next journey. I'll will see you on the other side. i miss him!
thank god 4 your baby!!!!!! i also have a 4 year old daughter whose mother died in july. not at all the same thing but a struggle is a struggle. my point is its a blessing she has a caring parent who is there 2 get her through the pain & share the pleasures in life, even the simple 1's like enjoying a song as beutiful as this or baking cookies 4 that matter. i hope she keeps doing good & our thoughts will be with you both 4 a happy future
when my wife died I played this song for her. just moments after I finished playing it, she died in my hands.I cry everytime I hear this song.
Oh man, you touched my heart... Stay strong and someday you'll meet her in the other side... Wish you best!
u are loved and shes still with u!!
Not a huge Pearl Jam fan; but how can you not be a fan of this song? Excellent.
Tears of Sorrow, Tears of Joy........this songs makes me think of my best friend every time I play it........Miss you Mom :'(
who ever writes a son like this should know the true meaning of life! This is beautiful... (said by a guy who already past away and came back to see life with other eyes)
Perfect tune for the Corona craziness.
My deepest condolences. You sound like a very good and loving mum. And your son sounds like what life should be, completely.
this is so beautiful,and yet so sad
Not sure if a perfect song exists - but this one sure comes close. Awesome on too many levels to describe!
I'm a lucky man to count on both hands the ones I love... Yes I am!
This song at a funeral would be the absolute perfect tribute to someone you love...not saying "goodbye", but "see you soon...."
We Never joined the TenClub but you will not find a more devoted fans then me me n my lovely wife❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have never heard this song until my little brother's service, R.I.P TONY. Love you, little brother

What a special voice he has! ;)
UNOFFICIAL!!! Are you serious? This is the best Pearl Jam (JAM), I have ever heard. Eddie Vedder has the voice of a true Rock God, I bought the album, TEN , in the early
90's, thought it was the greatest vocals of any artist, Boy, was I wrong!! Eddie has out done himself.
