All the Way - Eddie Vedder Cubs Song [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

Eddie Vedder's tribute to a Chicago Cubs World Series, inspired by Ernie Banks. Vedder asked us to update this video for Pearl Jam's 2013 performance at Wrigley Field, and it played on the big screen that night after a legendary 2 hour rain delay. We originally produced this video for him when the song was released during the 2008 Cubs Playoff run.
Featuring: Joe Mantegna, Jeff Garlin, Anthony Rizzo, Theo Epstein, Len Kasper, Lin Brehmer, Bill Murray (in spirit), the Chicago Cubs and the best fans in the world.
Written by Eddie Vedder
Directed by Matt Liston
Produced by Chris Karnak
Edited by Rhett Finch
Cinematography by Adam Weltler, Tom Sandak & Will Byington

Last day dad was alive was the day after the World Series. We talked and cried about the win, he died knowing his team won.

Sorry for your loss at least he knew his team won

[@dustindingler3373]

Nooice Guy there was no better last memory for him to have than that!! Sorry for your loss, Go cubs💙

[@Zotify_]

Sorry man makes me cry❤

[@huma474]

If you hear this song and see this video but feel nothing then you're dead inside.

[@hhluvzmagik]

Eddie wrote this at the request of Ernie Banks. Ernie wanted a "Cubs Anthem" and Eddie Vedder was the only person Ernie wanted to write and sing the song.

[@awsometings]

Makes me cry every time

[@VitaLetum7334]

we went all the way!

[@yellowflamegaulent3902]

Vita Letum 11-2-16 They day you went all the way congrats to a Padres fan.

[@johnhaverstock2029]

2016 was the year

[@ronnieam33]

In 1988 my 77-year-old grandmother who was a lifelong Cubs fan was on her deathbed with cancer and was watching the Cubs game and said to me "Well it doesn't look like the Cubs are going to do it this year" 5 minutes later she passed away and those were her final words. GO CUBS!!

[@jeffbrown9523]

Even though I'm not a Cubs fan (I did root for them in the 2016 World Series though), visiting Wrigley Field is on my bucket list, and should always be the Cubs home.

[@danbernstein6392]

Congrats to the Cubs and their fans from a die hard Mets fan! I don't care who you are, if this video doesn't give you chills, you're not a baseball fan.

[@yoman5850]

I'm a cubs fan ,grew up bleeding blue always pretended to be a cub when I was pitching or batting. I now am 43 and live In ohio but still a diehard fan and still get a tear listening to this song

[@johnhaverstock2029]

I’m 11 years and a cubs fan since day one

[@juliereminiec4937]

Don't hate me,because I 'm a fan of more teams than the Cubs

[@tonygonzalez4784]

Exactly.

[@johnkoleman5453]

You losers Get a life

[@46619TAB]

I grew up on the north side in the 50's with a Cub's fan for a father and the running joke in the family was 'the first words I learned to speak as a baby were "maybe next year"'. Next year is NOW, wish my dad was alive to see it happen!!

[@raybon7939]

I wonder if this will change you poeple. I mean 104 years. It was a way of life an institution. Tradition. Generations of families were raised on this maybe next year.

[@46619TAB]

ray bon 108 and yes. Now 'maybe next year' takes on a new meaning - two Cubs World Series wins in a row!!

[@Shojisnumber1fan]

Don't worry he was. Watching and is VERRY proud

[@georgepecka2885]

[@elizabethszwed7851]

It's 2024. Someday was 2016. Got to go to one of the playoff games. Sweet Sweet memories.

[@jacklowe3429]

Dear God, I love the Chicago Cubs. Win or lose, I'm behind them. Go Cubs go!

[@BigWolsky]

We will never forget the day the Cubs won the World Series.

[@Bull1908]

That day is today!

[@BinaryTechnique]

2923.and still here... remember when I was 8 yrs old sneaking out to Wrigley to watch Sandberg, Grace, and Dawson play. Never forget when I fell trying to get Sandberg's autograph and him and Grace grabbing me from the ground. I was born a cubs fan, live a cubs fans, and will die a cubs fan 🔴⚪🔵☝🏽

[@jennabrooke8804]

My college boyfriend and best friend would show this to me at least once a month. He was a massive cubs fan. He passed away this week at 27 years young. I remember he would tear up every time and get major goosebumps. Watching this again is now giving me tears in my eyes because it brings me back to him and our time together in college. I miss you Ryan.

[@ActivistParrot]

My grandfather and my uncle were both die hard cubs fans. Both passed away. My uncle was buried in a Cubs jersey. He wasn't a man that dressed formally. He did wear suits on occasion but for the most part he was very casual. He died from a blood clot in 2009. My grandfather died in 2012 from cancer. They loved the cubs. I believe that they were cheering and celebrating the Cubs world series victory from heaven.

[@jeffschroeder357]

A week after the Cubs won it in 2016 I was on an airplane listening to this song on my old IPOD. The person next to me was wondering why I was tearing up, but understood when he listened to the song.

[@benthat7656]

this song makes me cry...:(

[@jeffbanfieldsflwr3537]

Today! I'm crying watching the interviews listening to this song. I can't help but think about all the fans that have come and gone. This one is for them! If your are a Cubs fan, you are a friend of mine..... Love you all.... Go Cubs go!

[@Pabblovp]

Right ! this one goes for those fans gone ! Faithfully departed

[@BinaryTechnique]

Same 😭 I love the Cubs with all my heart....North Side till I die ☝🏼

[@bryanhultgren7215]

That day has finally come, because the Chicago Cubs are World Series champions!

[@Krazygalaxy1]

back in 2012 my dad passed away I remember he was one of the biggest cubs fans i could ever know i remember sitting down for each of these games and thinking of hi the whole way through and how happy he would of been to see his cubs win it all. I also remember the day after going into my calculus class to have my teacher play this video and i could only think of my dad and i was in tears for about a good hour thinking about how i wished he could of seen it and everyone else who didn't get to make it too to watch them win it I've always been a cubs fan and always will be to be honest i don't really care that much if we get another world series yes it would be awesome to get another one but i feel this one in 2016 will be the most remembered one for years and years to come

[@BrandoCalrissian82]

I'm writing this with tears in my eyes 12+ hours after watching one of my dearest dreams come true. My old man wasn't around to teach me the ways of being a Cub fan. But this morning I showed my son what our beloved Cubs did. That's the beauty of this game, the highs and lows create real magic. Thank you Chicago Cubs! Here's to the future and more WS titles to come!

[@CraigBlazevich]

After trading away Bryant, Rizzo, and Baez, all of us Cubs fans will be back to singing this song. Someday.....because we have dismantled the greatest Cubs team to ever exist. 7-30-21, is a sad day to be a Cubs fan.

[@amycubs7rivera829]

That’s why I am sitting here watching this and sobbing. May the Ricketts go all the way somewhere else.

[@hifijohn]

We are having a terrible season, one of the worst in many years, how can we fix it?? Simple, get rid of most of our best players.Steve Goodman was right , we are the doormat of the national league and Wrigley field is their ivy-covered burial ground.

[@ryanabbeduto4969]

I'm glad Eddie did this song. I was never able to put into words why being a Cubs fan is different, but Eddie did. From one northsider to another, thanks.

[@VivekBabbar]

I live in India and I'm a huge Cubs fan but this song made me cry too. Go Cubs Go 🔥🔥🔥

Years of agony... But today tears of JOY

[@mikemasciangelo248]

Stay with me through this. I am a resident of Arizona, so I am well aware of the culture and the love that Cubs fans have for their beloved Cubs. I am a yankee fan from birth, however I am a baseball fan first. Whatever is best for baseball is where my interests lie. I was watching this video on 8/28/17 and the first thing I said was "Holy S&() The cubs won a world series. Still amazed it actually happened. Good for you all you loyal cub fans and that you could share that with family and friends who are young and old. Congrats for the fans who suffered so long and are now able to rest in peace. Good for the Cubs fans and Good for Baseball. I have always said if the Yankees dont win it, Id like to see the Cubs win, because it is best for baseball!

[@mollykoenig7009]

I feel like there's no other team that evokes quite the loyalty and love as the Cubbies. Foul weather fans, for life, sticking to the boys through thick and thin, waiting so long for that day when it finally happened. I feel great pride to be in love with the Cubs.

[@napalm1000]

At least we got Schwindel, Wisdom, and hopefully a top 5 pick.

[@avifinkelstein9510]

Lived in Philadelphia and NYC prior. It's the greatest sports moment I've ever lived through. And it's not close.

[@slyky0443]

This is one of the best songs for a sports team I’ve ever heard. This and Go Cubs Go are the best sports songs I’ve ever heard ! Go Cubbies !!! I can say I saw them win it all !!!

[@Mr-Trox]

Cubs fans are some of the best in the League, in my opinion. Because like the lyrics say, "We're not fair weather, but foul weather fans!" Cubs fans are in it for the long haul, we knew our faith in them would be rewarded

[@slyky0443]

@@Mr-Trox so true ! Even if we lose for another 200 years I’ll always be a Cubs fan for life. As bill murray said being a Cubs fan also teaches you life lessons. You’re not gonna win all the time but when you do it’s special.

[@josephcoleman57]

Congratulations Cubbies from a Red Sox fan. I'm so happy you guys did it!. We understand hard times lol

[@stigler30]

Being that I love The Cubs and The Red Sox equally, my only disappointment is that The Cubs couldn't have won against The Yankees like The Red Sox won against The Cardinals in 2004.

[@raybon7939]

Yankee fan checking in, congratulations. No more hoax, now your winners.

Tonight's the night! Go Cubbies!

[@FleeebCrabinProductions]

I'm a Yankees fan. I've had my luck of seeing my team win it all. But I'll never forget watching the Cubs win it all. I was with other fellow Yankees fans watching game 7 against the Indians. They didn't want to watch it, but I forced them to watch history. Baseball history. And they and I were all glad we did watch the Cubs win it all in an incredible fashion. W

[@randycraig]

Best video and song ever!

I'm glad that Eddie loves the Cubs as much as I do.

[@napalm1000]

It's been a helluva ride. We never were the dynasty we were supposed to be, but at least we got one. Back in 2016 it seemed like these guys were gonna be here forever, but I guess all good things come to an end. Hopefully I'll see another in my lifetime, but I know that someday down the line, whether it be in two years or fifty years, we'll go all the way again.

[@BALLERBOYS21]

I can see the story written being every cubs fan sees one MAYBE two WS wins like we’ll be 80-90 next time they win

[@rse1113]

I’m from Jacksonville, and this song always gets me and makes me smile. I know our boys will go all the way one day and I think of how I’ll be blaring this song when the Jags finally hoist the Lombardi.

I was never a fan of baseball, but i understand loyalty and dedication and we have heard of the Cub struggle to go all the way, so to all you Cub's fan's out there, celebrate and cheer, smile and cry, it makes me smile to know you guys made it. One hell of an example to never loose hope.

[@Dwight2744]

Thank you for the comment. These last few days have been the pinnacle of fandom for us Cubs fans. I'm happy this team has inspired you as well.

[@Mitharan23]

I will never not watch this when KZbin suggests it. I will never NOT cry when i watch it. 7 years later and I will forever hear Pat scream out "AND THE CUBS WIN THE WORLD SERIES!"

[@justinmueller1635]

Someday is today! Tonight is the night!

[@TriciaTheSav]

My Mom was a huge Cubs fan, she would have loved this team so much. I am still hyped up and emotional that it really happened last night.

[@Mr-Trox]

I felt the same. My Daddy got me into baseball, I was raised on "There's always next year" and was genuinely surprised to learn Take Me Out To The Ballgame wasn't written by Harry Caray and changed for the rest of the league. He died in 2006, but I only hope he was up there with his Grandaddy and Great-Grandaddy and Harry Caray rooting for the Cubbies when they finally broke the curse and won it all.

[@martindemjan7368]

Who's here for opening day 2021!?! GO CUBS!

There is a simple magic around wrigleyfield, the history of the field is honestly just really cool.

[@reclusiveperson9409]

This song still makes me cry. I can’t help but think of all the fans who left us on earth and didn’t get to see this. Then I think of Harry Caray. I would have loved to have seen his reaction. It still seems like a dream the Cubs won it all.

[@Mr-Trox]

It was one of the best moments in my life to see my Cubbies win. My Dad died in 2006, to see his team win would have made his life. I've loved my team my whole life, and to finally see them win was just amazing. My team of lovable losers, of underdogs and "maybe next years" finally did it, and goddamn did it feel amazing.

I'm a red sox fan and i was so happy to see the cubbies win the WS because i felt for them. One of my best friends is first and foremost a sox fan but his mother's family is from the Chicago area and big cubs fans so he would always root for them as his NL team. I watched both the sox and cubs win w/him and i couldn't tell you which 1 he was happier for.
