I went to high school with Eddie Vedder (then Eddie Mueller). He was on the surf team and in drama club (my sister did 3 plays with him and he was an insanely good actor). Eddie was the only person at our school who could be a surfer, a drama geek, be voted Most Talented his senior year and still be the most casually cool guy in school with one of the hottest surf chicks as his girlfriend. Always legendary.

[@MajaZaguan]

Maynard from "Tool" once said we should listen to music first, to feel a song few times, before reading the lyrics. I think it's the best way with rock/metal songs imho.

[@superfunkmonker]

Agree

[@gavinsheridan4680]

No doubt. PJ lyrics (kinda like Tool) take time to set in.

[@db212006]

That would be great if they listened to it alone and not in front of an audience for the first time. I enjoy lyrical breakdown more than them just listening to the song 100% of the time. This is for every reaction channel ever. If you don't spend the time and effort with the audience on say "your favorite song, that you have been waiting for" it almost feels insulting. We won't ever see their second or third time experiencing the song. We won't see them understanding it or connecting with the lyrics, if all they do is "listen" to it once on the channel. So in my opinion, I don't think your opinion applies to these videos. I also think the quality of their vids go down infinitely when they don't look at the lyrics after. I hate it.

[@JamoonXerxesSauber]

Rock/metal and especially prog metal and grunge usually have a lot going on, a wall of noise, extra little touches here and there that can distract from listening to the lyrics for the first few listens. I think that's even more extreme for the uninitiated or newer listeners.

[@narsos6043]

I agree that's how I do it. Far more organic that way, but that's not what gets reaction channels views.

Lex if you heard Eddie sing Black now you may hear that aged smoothness like zztop. That video is from the mid 90s. That's a different Vedder than now. He still has a voice that is layered with so much emotion.

[@Fairlylocalhomebrewery]

His whole world ended when she left. She was his 5 horizons. The center of his world. Kids were laughing and playing but he is still sad. And cant get over her.

[@obnxsdonky9394]

Yep. We know

[@ciopespula]

I can fully relate to that crushing feeling so damn hard, life is a chaotic tragedy and experience and we carry those memories even in a evolved state those things remain engrained deep In you when it was something so deep meaningful and impactful in your heart and soul and connections with people that may have changed or disappeared it’s really crazy and emotional to think about but also bittersweet and interesting to reflect and reminisce like joy mixed with sadness and somber tones that’s real shit right there

[@ImGazu]

“I know someday you’ll have a beautiful life. I know you’ll be a star in somebody else’s sky. But why? Why can’t it be mine?” This line itself sums it up perfectly

Eddie put so much emotion in this song because it was so personal to him after his divorce and you can tell she meant everything to him. You can feel his pain when he sings about his lost love . I have heard so many songs about lost love but none can compare to Eddie singing "Black".

Hahaha and OMG!!! You just nailed it!! That's Eddie to a T!!!! LOVE IT!!! ;) ;)

[@Blitzyduder]

Im like Lex. When hearing a song for the first time its the instruments that speak to me the most and the singer is just another instrument conveying an emotion and melody. The message comes later. I swear there are songs i've listened to for over 30 years that are so good musicaly I still dont know al the words too.

[@Gutslinger]

It's been the same for me my whole life. My ear is attracted more to instrumentation.. I'm sure that's common though. But I've been actively trying to pay attention to lyrics for the last couple of years. I started to discover that I like songs that I normally wouldn't like due to instrumentation, and I've also discovered that some of my favorite songs have lyrics/message that I can't support. If that makes sense.

[@SB-pl8fc]

Yep. I never knew what they were saying in this song before. It didn't matter. Sometimes discovering the lyrics can ruin your experience of the song.

[@emilymartinez6961]

[@chrisgarcia9629]

This unplugged live performance is the absolute best of its series. This PJ show absolutely sold me and I have been a hardcore fan till this day!

[@Kipperbob]

Eddie definitely means every word he sings, I love how Lex can visualise music and how it feels, a sure sign that she'd make a good musician. It's all about how it feels. A lot of musicians I've played with down the years describe music as colours, something I never understood being colourblind, I hear notes as emotional characteristics, learning music theory kinda destroyed the mystery but helps put names on the feelings that each note emotes,

[@Ronocos]

The whole colour as notes thing is probably true for them. Some people have synesthesia which can create associates between unrelated things. Associating colours with days of the week, sounds with colours, music notes as colours etc. Some experts think some of the classical composers like Mozart and Beethoven had synesthesia, they literally could hear music and visualise colours, so when they wrote a symphony it was like painting a canvas for an artist.

[@henrique88t]

Learning music theory somewhat kinda enhanced the mystique for me, though.

[@Kipperbob]

@@henrique88t I can't help but analyse how music is constructed now, whereas before I started learning music I listened to music for what it felt like, it's just looking at the same thing from a different perspective I suppose, I just miss feeling like the audience, now I feel like I've read the script so I get the plot before the end of the movie.

[@henrique88t]

@@Kipperbob I don't really see it that way. To me it's like learning a language. After a while, the grammar rules fade and it goes back to being intuitive and second nature, but now way sharper.

[@MrMurderMayhem11]

This song is so epic, I grew up in the 90s, this was some of the music that introduced poetry to a different social class that may never have experienced people expressing their emotions this way. PearlJam had an awesome sound and that attracted people from everywhere but then we were blown away at the lyrics, the depth and substance is meant to be interpreted in your own way, apply the lyrics to your own part life experiences and almost every song can have deep personal meaning. Yes, the lyrics have the bands true meaning and intent, but they encourage you to experience their music in your own personal way. God damn poetry here.

[@Oscar1992Rdz]

HAHAHAHA!!!!! "Bacon grease"!! Wth??!! 😂🤣😂 It's sort of vibrato, but mostly it's Eddie FREAKING Vedder!! 😉😍 Anywhoo, he has a 5-Octave vocal range and it's its VERY DISTINCTIVE.... when he opens his mouth, you know immediately it's him singing!! This is Grunge, so the vocals as well as the instrumentals are sludgy/heavy with deep azz lyrics!! (GOOD STUFF!😊).... Grunge by definition is something that is dirty, messy, heavy etc.... you know, the kind of stuff we like to "sweep under the rug".... I think that's why it was termed "Grunge" music... the heavy, sludgy instrumentals and the DEEP lyrics!! Any-which-way you want to describe or label it.... it's FREAKING AWESOME in my book!!!😉😍🤗🤗 CHECK OUT: "ALIVE" official video..... that one is amazing sonically and lyrically and although, there's a bit of a dark story behind it's inspiration.... it turned into the most POSITIVE Anthem for the band..... Eddie Vedder has thanked the fans on MANY occasions for that!!! 🤗😎❤❤❤

That's the beauty of music. When writing many artists like to use substances to take the journey. They are often not trying to beat a theme into you, but rather let you take that journey however you think and feel. Emotion is what makes a great tune.

Y’all are quickly becoming my favorite reaction channel!

[@mapexzildjian6361]

I had to go a few years avoiding this song. It just hit too close.

[@Acidmaggot99]

Same here, took me awhile to listen to it again

[@Hoscitt]

Yep. I had to avoid it for a few years too

[@franknabozny6062]

How about some STP (Stone Temple Pilots) 🤘😝

[@aimeehashimura2263]

What about the band name their label wouldn’t let them have? Also initialed STP lol

[@joedonnelly1885]

You guys make watching old videos so funny to listen to! Keep it up!

[@moonchild8422]

The whole MTV Pearl Jam is AMAZING!!!

[@seandobson6221]

This song is representative of the soundtrack of my high school years. It was teenage angst at its best. I love Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots all of them have music that when I hear it I’m transported back to the early 90s rolling in my 1980 Ford Mustang that’s on its third hundred thousand miles but it was mine free and clear!

Eddie Van Halen referred to his guitar tone as "Brown Sound ". So her music interpretations aren't that unusual.

[@justinpalmer6098]

Fun fact, Eddie was actually trying to describe Alex's snare sound when he coined "brown sound", but it stuck with him and actually does describe his guitar tone pretty well

[@dubbleplusgood]

"Bacon Grease Container" In my entire life I'd never thought I'd hear that but I'm so damn glad I did - it was worth the wait. :)

[@davidcoleman1470]

I enjoy watching you guys so much. Hilarious 😂

[@nathankrush3289]

Eddie Vedder is a truly amazing singer. Music is about emotion, not technique. He pours his heart and soul into every note he sings.
