Eddie Vedder - Skipping

Uploader: / cantfindavedderman
Album: Every Mother Counts (2012)
Lyric:
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 around
And 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

This is the saddest, most beautiful thing I've ever heard.

[@IgotidIgot]

i always wonder for how much longer will eddie vedder keep on moving me. with his music, his lyrics, his attitude...when you think he has become quite mellow, you suddenly hear these beautiful notes, this poetry, arranged so simply in 3 minutes...and you just catch yourself actually smiling in front of youtube...! he's someone who will never let me down, i think....

[@Joeysutube1]

There's only One Eddie Vedder... He can rage! He can rally! and he can croon! A man and a voice we'll never forget.

Thank you for this song, my son and I danced to this song at his wedding.

[@darlenegoodfellow4245]

My daughter selected it for her father-daughter dance.

[@isadoraduncanstreet]

two things :One- Eddie continues to write songs that are true to life, with overwhelming sensitivity regarding the human experience. Two-pretty sure he is self harmonizing and that is one of the most delicious sounds I've ever heard.

[@devarsht]

how without even saying the word 'mother' this song makes you think of her. beautifully subtle.

[@simonedevlin7710]

Eddie is celebrating his love for Jill and his lovely daughter Olivia in this fairytale ballad. It must have been the most pivotal point of his life.The quest for a soulmate and the divine gift of the birth of a daughter.God's promises do come true.

[@laurawatters914]

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL! SO THAT'S WHERE "EVERY MOTHER COUNTS" COMES FROM, EDDIE WORE THAT SHIRT DURING THE 2013 LIGHTENING BOLT INTERVIEW, I WAS ALWAYS WONDERING WHAT THAT MEANT. EDDIE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE HEROS AND HUMANS, THE MAN HAS HEART AND SOUL AND A BEAUTIFUL GOLDEN VOICE! THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!! I WONDERED IF THAT'S OLIVIA OR HARPER AT THE BEGINNING, SOOO SWEET!! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR SHARING THIS AWESOME VIDEO!! 😊💓🔥✌️🤘 I LOVE YOU EDDIE VEDDER ❤️

[@chrisdriver7776]

What a song.

[@dreamsincolor10]

**tears** ...Utterly Gorgeous. This world is so blessed for having Eddie in it... such a beautiful human being he is...

[@angelina096616]

This song was my Mother and Son dance for his wedding.

[@TheNeverPlayedSymphonies]

No matter how many times I’ve heard this song , It still manages to brings tears to my eyes

[@lauragreaser3461]

This is so beautiful 😍

[@menhdhosh]

so deep and beautiful. Only great father can make so beautiful song.

[@ArtByAnthonyV]

I want this song but this is the only place I can find it 😢

[@TheCynthiarx]

I like this. Love when Eddie shows his softer side.

[@SFDPSFDP]

Eddie Vedder is such a great artist

[@johnc.richardson2713]

I've never cried so hard with a smile so big.

[@DiverQuinn342]

Perfection

[@kylecox2380]

no souls or sense of good for the dislikes, eddie is the man.

[@mikelee2490]

With one listen thru and not thinking much about it. This is what my mind felt smiled and thought. Family as a little kid the sun beaming through the window. Smiles on the faces I love as we share a special moment with a simple meal. Memories that count and a piece of art. Life that is what this song translated to me at first spirit.

[@DustyAndPistolPete]

Good to know Eddie's grown up enough to cherish children...far cry from the days when he was comparing killing them to eating a pizza.Beautiful song.

[@IanDB68]

For Mam- I never really knew you, yet you were taken from me so soon, leaving a void in my heart. I am sorry for not being the happy child you dreamed of. I feel I have existed rather than lived the 41 years since your passing, now at age 45 aimlessly drifting from one disaster to the next, unfilled potential and lack of self confidence haunts me. I think of you daily, someday's hourly...Miss you so much. Love you.

[@lucilleverrille54]

Ian, You were the child she dreamed of. Breathe deep and live your life, knowing she loved you so.

[@dazmanshears]

I feel this so much my friend. I hope you are well.

[@Bepartofmynovel]

Ian, please try this one thing out for happiness and confidence: Every single day, write down 1 event that made you a bitt happier today. doesn't have to be something big. a beautiful flower in an unexpected place; cooling breeze; a friendly convo. all of these will do. In the beginning, this might be very difficult for you. but believe me: you are training in your happiness muscle. and within one month, if you are consitent, you will notice something is happening with you :) now, for confidence, you can do the same thing but rather than writing down things that make you happy, write down't things that make you feel confident, proud, even if only the slightest little bit. Again, you will see your perception of yourself changing quicker than you may think now. I am just a stranger on the internet, giving you a simple advice. i hope you can do it. i did this many years ago and it turned my life around.

[@ToeJamTurtle]

This song made me feel complete . Rest in peace Sean and Jason. I love you brothers.

[@seekeroftruthful]

We have this moment to check, check that we are skipping in this beautiful life even when we hurt deeply .

[@kittykillings7370]

I cry every time... Fly high Jinxxy

[@TheSuperChronic]

[@markkelly511]

great song at a great time with everyone hurting or trying to survied it seem like you always come up with a classic song when times are tought thx eddie and i'm skipping to my next challenge in life thx again a big fan from NJ/NY

[@liv4rockk]

the voice is enough...let alone the words...do u know the word breathtaking??? well!! this pretty much defines it

[@Goomer1967]

Thank you Ed . You move me with your words , in a time when I am not so sure if I want to keep on skipping with all the troubles of trying to bring up children in this world . Damn why does this life have to be so hard it's supposed to get easier as we grow older yet I am finding it harder then the day before and it's been 44 yrs and counting..

[@marcvitz]

Esse cara revoluciona a cada música, tem o dom de transformar sentimentos tão fortes em uma canção serena. Um dos eternos. Pra mim, o melhor! --- This guy revolutionized every song has the gift of making such strong feelings in a song serene. One of the eternal. For me, the better!

[@silvinaceresani2642]

...es una canción tan hermosa... ...gracias... Silvina ceresani. Buenos Aires. Argentina

[@PJfan94]

Eddie Vedder's voice is so intense like one of my fave female singer, Amy Lee. I have a feeling that even if Eddie dies, he will always be in our hearts. But I'm glad he's still alive even if he's almost fifty.

[@vaughan2780]

Amazing how Eddie and the guys can continue to make heartwarming music after all these years... Long live Rock n Roll.

[@kiza131]

His voice sounds rough but caressing and the words are always so touching

[@kellyludwig3146]

Eddie always just what to say! another wonderful meaningful song! Can't wait to see him in November ...soooo great !

[@Jane6isAlive]

Just a beautiful song, Him as a Father 💞 the feelings any good father feels and can relate to this ❤️💞

[@markkelly511]

I like this song a big fan of EV/PJ A huge fan from NJ/NYC area keep up the great music I've been a huge fan of PJ since the early 90's thxs posting.

[@hmljra1love]

Absolutely amazing song! Eddie never ceases to amaze me with his voice and his lyrics. I could listen to this song over and over and over and over and over....

[@lindseyt177]

Eddie is one amazing man!!! Thank you Ed for all the beautiful music! Just listening to all his music puts a smile on my face even when I am going through a hard time.

[@PP-qv3uu]

this is so heart satisfying oh eddie, you're surely one of the BEST .

[@eyaaaly]

same here:) ukelele songs album helped me so much through a very hard times just played it over and over on the train to work always drifting..drifting away. thank you eddie.

[@menhdhosh]

thak for this hearth-warming comment and song too :)

[@usernameunabaliable]

One thing is disliking it, another thing is calling it trash. Comments like those are just begging for an online dispute that gets nowhere.

[@07foxmulder]

i know. i typically don't post negative things on videos unless i'm actually out to bother people lol but in this case, i wasn't. i hold eddie vedder to a higher standard than a "one two, i love you" type lyric. i'm glad i found someone who feels the same way.

[@Sbamabelle]

This is such an amazing and beautiful song. Eddie just writes the most poetic lyrics and you just feel his emotion come through with this song

[@PearlJamL0ver]

To me this is a classic rock.

[@kinogomes1980]

In my opinion Eddie ties in geniality with Freddie Mercury. With no doubt this guy is LEGEND, and my favourite artist of all time. Thank you Eddie for the much you gaved in my life, so much than i cant pay with money, but with a great huge!!!

[@cnhardie11]

THE best...EVERTHING'S Vedder with Eddie

[@stellashepherd844]

Listening to this in light of the separation of immigration children from their parents almost broke me. “All the King’s horses and all the king’s men couldn’t keep me from holding your hand.”

[@chrisdriver7776]

Let's not get political about this.

[@stellashepherd844]

@Chris Driver The separation of mothers and fathers from their babies shouldn’t be used as a political tool. Sadly it was. This song talks about the strength of that bond. I’m not the one who brought politics into that humanitarian truth.

[@chrisdriver7776]

@@stellashepherd844 it wasn't used as a political tool... The law did not allow children to be detained with parents... Yes, you are the one who brought politics into this.... If I talk about aborted fetuses being separated from their mothers, would I be politicizing it?

[@babezitaa8]

This song is so beautiful, that chills me. Eddie has this ability ... There are those who sing his vocal cords, is its soul. By Portugal

[@symbioticwolfkat1374]

Beautiful piece of sound coming from one of the best Grunge Singers around. :)

[@pedrosalas2640]

That was beautful, almost made me cry. Stay strong

[@0lofi]

definitely one of his greatest solo songs!

[@sunnyday265]

only a Man who wrote the words to "Black" could write these words for a Daughter. This is what 20 years are worth in a person's journey on earth.

[@TheEStreetBand1]

That was breathtaking... wow

[@emanuelabacchion7978]

Ed has always been and forever will be my God !

[@debasermac1]

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 around And 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

So beautiful. Reminds me of my childhood.

Beautiful song! Thanks Eddie!

[@purposemaker909]

Beautiful - see you soon Eddie, cheers

[@dte16pj]

Damn you eddie for making me cry at work.

[@nykecabral1]

I listen this song with my heart!

[@PearlJamL0ver]

Beautiful! Just Beautiful.

[@PearlJamL0ver]

It's funny how the little and simplest things in life is what makes life so beautiful and good. I guess love is showed in simple and genuine things, like skipping. Yeah.. I think that's guaranteed. We are all really simple deep down :). Or is it the genuine love that makes life simple?

[@ale19011975]

When you lose your father early in your life, whatever the reason, and then you grow up with this and kinda haunted by this, the only thing that can change your perspective is becoming yourself a father. Then you experience the purest of the loves a human being can feel and probably something tells you in the most subliminal way that your father loved you that same way and still does wherever he is now...

[@LesPest]

ale19011975 Wonderful thoughts.

[@kyoki123]

This song just make me cry

You are not alone. "From one disaster to the next" would be the title of my autobiography. Chin up. There is still Pearl Jam.

[@Naropafilmmaker]

Ohhh eddieeee gracias por existir!!!!

[@melaniebaldwin9486]

cheers got to love the vedder

[@Todabiny10]

Simply beautiful;-)

[@vincentvandenbrink6624]

I think you have to be dead inside to not feel this song. Speaking as a long time fan of Eddie Vedder I am happy to hear how his music has grown. If fans of Tool's front man Maynard can understand how his music has changed from Tool to Puscifer, why can't fans of Eddie Vedder understand his evolution. For that matter, why would we want a song about a 16yr old boy that killed himself "Jeremy" (peal Jam) to sound like a song about fatherhood. His life evolved and so should his subject matter.

[@elilaks9125]

My mum passed last year. I did not have a chance to say goodbye. This tune hit me hard :´(

[@CommanderSwedePlays]

What's with all the people that dislike this one? I mean, your opinion is your opinion, but i think it sounds, maybe not better, but as good, as a lot of his other songs. And they're certainly not "one two i love you" lyrics as someone described them.

[@lilsmartiepanties]

great lyrics ^^

[@vanna77gracia31]

as far as i know, he wrote this song to help an association of needy mothers. the collected money from the sellings of this song is for them. sorry for my english!

[@gottagoback3934]

You're right.

[@Gingerjake2]

19 dislikes - pity them, they're tone deaf & can't hear pure, great music.

beautiful lyrics ! :)

[@debmauritson5016]

Wow, I could have thought I was listening to Cat Stevens their voices are so similar.

[@Crazycupmuffin]

you said it friend. Plus its a charity song what do they want him to sing about??

[@michellel807]

Well done for voicing ur opinion. I made a comment on a video recently that wasn't too positive but didn't actually belittle the artists talent in any way and got so much abuse for it. Seems I was trolling even though I can't stand people who troll just to get a rise out of others. For this reason alone, if I don't happen to like a song I'm watching I tend to not bother commenting now. I'm not keen on this song either, doesn't mean I don't like EV any less though. Glad u spoke up.

[@kapil1234ghale]

u rocks eddie
