    Oh yeah, can you see them
    Out on the porch
    Yeah, but they don't wave
    I see them
    'Round the front way, yeah
    And I know and I know I don't want to stay

      Eddie is a legend. His words will move a person. I agree. There will never be another Eddie or Pearl Jam. He was a pioneer and poet. His words have influenced my life and helped me through struggles. Tonight, age 50, I’m struggling. And Eddie’s words bring me a subtle peace. Some comfort. Knowing he knows pain. He feels struggle. We all do. Thank you Eddie

    Lyrics
    “Unsealed on a porch a letter sat
    Then you said I wanna leave it again
    Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand
    And on the sand I wanna leave it again, yeah
    On a weekend wanna wish it all away
    And they called and I said that I want what I said
    And then I call out again
    And the reason oughtta leave her calm, I know
    I said I don't know whether I'm the boxer or the bag
    Oh yeah, can you see them
    Out on the porch
    Yeah but they don't wave
    I see them
    'Round the front way, yeah
    And I know and I know I don't want to stay
    Make me cry
    I see
    I don't know, there's something else
    I wanna drum it all away
    Oh, I said I don't, I don't know whether I'm the boxer or the bag
    Oh yeah, can you see them
    Out on the porch
    Yeah but they don't wave
    I see them
    'Round the front way, yeah
    And I know and I know I don't want to stay
    I don't wanna stay
    I don't wanna stay
    I don't wanna stay, oh no
    Yeah
    Oh, oh
    Oh, oh”

    “Eddie Vedder admits that he changes the lyrics and meaning of the song when he performs it, but he wrote the song with one story in mind, which he told at a concert in Newark, New Jersey on August 7, 2008. He asked if anyone had any questions, and a fellow asked what the lyrics to "Yellow Ledbetter" were. Instead of going word for word, Eddie simply told the story of the song.
    The song was written during the first gulf war, when "Papa Bush" was President, as Eddie calls him. The story is about a young Grunger kid, all dressed up in his flannels with the long greasy hair. His brother goes off to fight in the war and gets killed. He gets a letter that comes in one of those yellow army envelopes and learns of his brother's death. So, all upset, he decides to go out and walk it off. On his walk he passes by a neat, middle-aged or elderly couple sitting on their front porch having some tea, and he sees that they have an American flag out. He gives a wave, because he feels like he relates: "The flag, my brother, you know..." But they don't know, of course. They don't know what's underneath the grunge and the long hair. All they see are the outward appearances, and they don't wave back.
    The song has changed its meaning over time and Eddie changes the words to suit whatever is on his mind.”

    This was my son's favorite band he was killed in a car crash in 2000 at age 17. And also our 15 year old niece was with us and she also was killed. Mom and I walked away from the accident but my wife sustained a little brain damage...Can't believe our son would have been 41 this year 2024. And if he was still here on earth he would be listening to Pearl Jam today. Well here it is bro!!!! Love from your Dad....It still hurts after all these years!!!!!

      My only brother was killed in 2003 from a car crash and the feeling of never being able to see him for the rest of this life is painful a lot of days. Im sorry about your loss, its a punch in the gut to have to deal with a unexpected death of a family member, like your son. I strongly believe that your son is still alive, but in his true spirit form and that you'll be there with him when its time. I have had many vivid dreams of my brother since he has passed and they felt like he was very alive and visiting me from a higher dimension. I bet your son listens along with you when listening to Pearl Jam songs, keep strong and keep positive!

Bands like Pearl Jam, Nirvana, STP, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Alice In Chains, Blind Melon. So many awesome bands. I noticed so many comments about not understanding the lyrics to this tune. I heard lead singer Eddie Vedder often switched the lyrics up when performing this in concert. Think it wouldn't matter whether we knew the words or not, the song is amazing!

I love the music, but I can't understand what the hell you're saying half the time so I do the old man thing and fill in what I think I hear.

    Ross was in his apartment. He was listening to his voicemail. Rachel left him a message while on the plane to Paris. She confessed that she loves Ross too, saying this over and over the phone, then she suddenly decided to get off the plane. The message was cut in the middle of an argument between Rachel and the flight attendant. Ross asked himself, "Did she get off the plane?". Then, Rachel was standing by his door and she said, "I got off the plane."
    Awww, classic! 😍❤️
