The Gossman Project - 04 - 'E' Ballad Pearl Jam Demos

[@evanisovich]

So surreal to think that Matt Cameron himself lent his talent to these original demos - so technically, he was the very first drummer for Pearl Jam.

[@richardmoulding2495]

An old comment, but to add detail, on this track Cameron wasn't available so it is Chris Friel from Mike's previous band Shadow

Even before Eddie Vedder added lyrics and pure poetry to this song, already a masterpiece

[@JavierCespedes90]

Yeah, and well, not only the lyrics, but the melody of the vocals, which are incredible as well.

[@horseytown]

Something I will never fully understand is how someone even approaches putting lyrics to music someone else wrote.

[@ReiniervanderMonde]

@@horseytown Amazing. Truly amazing. And with a self composed melody that also fits the already created music perfectly

[@ReiniervanderMonde]

@@JavierCespedes90 couldn't agree more

[@Amsmosh]

I love the slow lazy feel that this original version has. Its so mellow yet it is packed with so much power. Eddie's lyrics however give it an otherworldly sound and feel the way only Eddie can do.

[@toddrichardson8595]

HANDS DOWN, one of the Greatest Songs Ever Written!

[@jaagamingreview6129]

Wow listening to this 30 years later, Black was part of my youth..

[@shishirbaliyan9205]

i cant believe this is the heart of the song, what they made without eddie, how awesomely eddie put in the lyrics and how insanely good these songs sound without the lyrics as well...i see the band in a completely different light now, how strong they are/were without eddie having come yet...i feel stone/jeff/mccready arent well known to be such huge contributors

[@744877777]

Even more incredible how Eddie put the strong lyrics into this track- superior craftmanship from both sides.

[@joshwah1427]

I'd love to have seen their faces when Eddie sang over for the first time...

[@geanpierre7967]

Essa porra é surreal... sentimento é estraordinario... tinha quer e foi assim Black

[@ourheartscondemnyou]

This had to be written in that short period after Andy’s death. How do you go from Mother Love Bone ( who we love ) to this masterpiece? Even instrumentally it’s on another level. The composition, the voicings, the lack of a real bridge, and that haunting melody… Thank you Stone

[@mikepj1025]

Guy is just great. Him and Mike compliment each other so well

[@runertje550]

Very much true!

This is amazing and Eddie made it more amazing oohh my goodness its beautiful ♥️🤘🎸🥁

[@christianjuan1182]

Hey, oh Sheets of empty canvas Untouched sheets of clay Were laid spread out before me As her body once did All five horizons Revolved around her soul As the earth to the sun Now the air I tasted and breathed Has taken a turn Oh and all I taught her was everything Oh I know she gave me all that she wore And now my bitter hands Chafe beneath the clouds Of what was everything Oh the pictures have All been washed in black Tattooed everything I take a walk outside I'm surrounded by Some kids at play I can feel their laughter So why do I sear Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin Round my head I'm spinning Oh, I'm spinning How quick the sun can, drop away And now my bitter hands Cradle broken glass Of what was everything All the pictures had All been washed in black Tattooed everything All the love gone bad Turned my world to black Tattooed all I see All that I am All I'll be Yeah I know someday you'll have a beautiful life I know you'll be a star In somebody else's sky But why Why Why can't it be Why can't it be mine

[@genava1]

beautifull since back then...

[@K-Dawg662]

I was today years old when I realized the dead on similarities that this song has to Yellow Ledbetter... Unreal... No wonder why that songs amazing too!

[@Saviol1509]

Both based around the E chord

[@beckysberries4441]

Lol I didn’t notice that until you pointed it out

[@runertje550]

God this sound is so.... amazing, pure and deep, that acoustic sound with a low amount of distortion gives it also a feeling of a strong and powerful emotion, something that overcomes the feeling of softness. Which is just beautiful.

[@jomacondo]

The vocal dash is surreal, remains in memory. The fashioned, lirical sound of pain

[@Grck7]

Increible! Me transporta con la misma intensidad que la voz de Ed. Grande Stone!!

'E' means Mi Major?

balada em MI

[@rodrigoruizpomanti7150]

@@MrLyzer Veja se pode me ajudar, estou confuso. Há uma modulação na música. O primeiro trecho começa com acorde de Mi maior (sabemos q nem sempre o primeiro acorde é o tom), porém a linha de baixo está em 'A' maior, pergunto o primeiro trecho é A maior ou E maior (o nome original da música 'E' Ballad, atrapalhou mais ainda...)

[@MrLyzer]

@@rodrigoruizpomanti7150 Pearl Jam tocam a música na escala MIm, embora a música seja chamada balada em MI
