Eddie Vedder (Acoustic) - Skipping - Every Mother Counts
Eddie Vedder recorded this acoustic serenade to his two daughters for Every Mother Counts, a benefit compilation record put together by the model Christy Turlington. The album was recorded to raise funds for the campaign of the same name, which was founded by the supermodel to increase education and support for maternal mortality reduction globally.
That's Vedder's oldest daughter Olivia chirping "check, check" and "Daddy" at the beginning of the song. She was born June 11, 2004 to the Pearl Jam front man's now wife, Jill McCormick.
Christy Turlington told Rolling Stone: "Eddie was amazing to accept this project while in the midst of so much. I spoke to him and exchanged several emails about his contribution. 'Skipping' is such a sweet song and I just love that his daughter Olivia has a little cameo at the start. He once wrote me saying that his girls would be proud one day that their dad contributed to such a meaningful project."

Skipping Lyrics
I didn't have to ask you, just took my hand
Off we went skipping throughout the land
The sky was blue and the blood filled my head
Me and you skipping throughout the land
All of my life from beginning to end
What I remember is holding your hand
And all that I'll cherish is that time that we've spent
Me and you skipping throughout the land
All the loves lost and the one that I found
You lifted my gaze up off of the ground
Forever we'll talk and forever we'll drown
In each other skipping around
Gravity pulls so many men down
The atmosphere breathes but not in this town
You took me away and you held me so proud
Skipping, skipping, skipping around
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Could not keep me from holding your hand
When all that I wanted was something to protect
And all that I needed was your voice in my head
And all I remember from this life that I lived
Is me and you skipping throughout the land
