  • Nu, it's definitely about a boner!

  • Hey!!! you've got to hide your guns away

  • THIS IS FROM THE BEATLES!! AT LEAST GIVE THEM CREDIT!!!!

  • @partyboy694 it's okay, man. everyone who needs to know can find that out.

  • @partyboy694

    o really?

    in the tags

    it says Beatles cover

    and in the suggested videos

    i see a beatles song called

    "beatles- you've got to hide your love away"

    i think you are lieing to me

  • Eddie Vedder is the John Lennon of our generation

  • Eddie is finally coming to Dallas April 30, 2012. You know what the kicker is??? - these ticket people buy up all the tickets then sell them back at 4x the face value so that hard working people cannot afford to go see one of their favorite singers. WTF! I remember back when we could go to a concert for $5.00-$10.00 a ticket. I saw Jim Morrison, Neil Young, the Stones, etc. and never paid over $10.00 a ticket. Guess I am showing my age. Now you are lucky if you can get 2 tickets for $500.

  • @pasinann I saw neil young, eddie vedder, santana, arcade fire, mumford and sons, beck, dave mathews, tony bennet and norah jones for like $60 last year..

    best concert of my life

  • @pasinann isn't that the worst? the new age of music: overpriced scalped tickets. it was before my time, but from what I hear, used to be venue managers would swipe a handful of a band's tickets, sell em out the back door at HALF price, and pocket the money. now you've got to click "pay now" at 10:00 sharp the day they go on sale, or you're fucked.

    time to go to some festivals or sneak into outdoor venues!

  • Even flow

  • very very good version EV

  • Eddie Vedder is one of the few artists that can not only get away with this, but make it sound as if it was his own. Masterful

  • Bella cover *_*

  • Nice cover of Beatles classic

  • we need 12 condoms and a time machine..

  • thumbs up for punching ppl that think this is a pear jam song

  • Comment removed

  • I think John Lennon and Eddie Vedder both have very unique singing voice's that what makes them so great. I don't think one is better than the other,. different time periods, different circumstance's.

    I think we can all agree on that. from someone's who been a Rock fan and of music since he was a kid from the sixties :)

  • I Cried To This Movie And I Have A Black Belt In Kung Fu!

    It's Just Too Sad!

  • no, no, I agree with the boners comment!!!!

  • It's so sjort ):

  • great cover ... and The Beatles continue to influence ...

  • i preffer eddies voice over lennons

    lennon was a genious and now he is a legend

    but singing was not his most notable skills

  • @foxdroad  You gotta be kidding me. His voice was his best skill.

  • @foxdroad ...are you retarded?...just asking...cause in the music world John Lennon WAS known as a great vocalist....he had one of the best blues/rock voices....Eddie Vedders voice on the other hand(though I do love his music) is monotone....he's the Steven Wright of music

  • @oquatanzenwan monotone??? you are a total ignoramus

  • @chanchi2006 yes .....monotone...why perhaps you hear a dynamic range in Eddie Vedders vocals?!?!....you must love the vocal range of the crash test dummies too!....monotone!!...do you know what that is?!....heres a hint...Eddie Vedders voice!

  • @oquatanzenwan I believe that Eddie Vedder is a fantastic singer. He may not have the best pure singing voice, but his voice is very distinct and his singing still carries a lot of emotion into it. John Lennon was a fantastic singer as well. Sometimes the "dynamic range" of a singer doesn't matter. What matters is the soul and creativity they put into their music. I doubt anyone would consider Kurt Cobain a great singer, but the pain & angst he expressed in his songs are what made him an icon.

  • @TheBlazeAG ....Dude I agree with the whole singing thing...I was trying to make a point to that guy who said Eddie Vedder has a better voice than John Lennon...I love pearl jam,I love the covers they do...but to be obserd and say Eddie Vedder does a better job on a beatles song than the beatles did is just retarded......believe me its not a knock on Eddie...just breathe is probably my favortie song ...and Pearl jam is arguablly the best band from the "grunge "era..

  • @oquatanzenwan By the way, Eddie Vedder actually has a pretty wide vocal range. At least he did when he sang with Pearl Jam. There's a video specifically about his vocal range. Look it up. He gets gritty as he sings higher, but he still can hit some pretty clean high notes.

  • @TheBlazeAG Yep. He certainly hits some amazing high notes on The Wolf (short interlude on the soundtrack for Into the Wild).

  • @oquatanzenwan if im retarded you gotta be deaf lennon os not that great as a vocalist

    a great vocalist could be michael buble or george michael

    and thats independent from the musical genre

    some guys were born to sing and lennon was not

    he was a great writer and producer but not a great singer

  • How true.......at my current situation

    

  • One of those rare covers where you can never decide on the better version. It's like the song was written with Eddie in mind.

  • I love Lennon's performance but Eddie's is pretty damn good as well! This man's so fucking good.

  • nice melody♪☺

  • weird without Lennon's voice...but not bad version

  • Hey! you've got to hide your love away... pedazo de tema viejo!

    Saludos desde Chile!

  • i hear you on that

  • Es la pelicula mas linda que he visto, puedo verla miles de veces y no me canso. Lo mejor de Lo mejo, Felicitacionessssssss.........

  • It's a song about the sister that was adopted out before he was born. It's sung from his unmarried mother's point of view --- cuz she was 'showing' / ie. HIDE your love away.... Teen Preggers (not boners, bonehead)

  • Regardless of the song meaning, this version is unbelievably great - even better than the original from Beatles. Eddie's voice suits perfectly to the song mood.

  • @cucurulito gah. aN hilarious?

  • @Kettles147 sorry for my english, i'm chilean; could write in spanish, but surely less people would understand the spanish for boners ;)

  • Sorry, but I do not anything gay, specifically, from these lyrics. The big clue is the "she" in the lyrics. Even if you try to extract an undercurrent of "gay," all you get is a sense of rejection or unrequited love.

  • The only thing problem with this song is that its to short.

  • Not about boners. Its actually about being gay. Their manager was gay and closeted. He was in love with John who rejected him, but was sympathetic with him. He wrote this song in regards to that experience.

  • @phrancly1 Sources bro, we need sources.

  • @Zimnyification It's common knowledge among fans of The Beatles/Lennon.

  • @LantaGem Well read it on the wiki, but it's only speculative. If one had an original source saying this I could believe it.

  • From Spinner - Pain and rejection are familiar to any poor sod who's ever given his heart to a callous lover. But according to many Beatles obsessives, this Dylanesque 1965 tune can also be interpreted as a tribute to the Fab Four's manager, Brian Epstein, who lived a double life as a closeted gay man.

    Rainbow Connection: 3/5 – Epstein also encouraged John Lennon to keep his marriage in the closet, so the theme of manager-inspired secrecy goes both ways.

  • @Zimnyification look it up on song facts dot com. wiki also supports this theory.

  • @phrancly1 wow knowing this, what an amazing new look at this song.

  • @phrancly1 wait seriously?

  • @phrancly1 Actually, John did not completely *reject* Brian Epstein as he is said to have had sex with Epstein once while they were together in Majorca, Spain on vacation. Yoko Ono also once called John a "closet gay". Now the historical recidivists have tried to "clean" all that up, but I don't think John would care; he would have been amused at those who thought it necessary to polish his image.

    And that's yet another reason why I love John Lennon. May he R.I.P.

  • @phrancly1 Your a fag!

  • @SDCDIABLO Trolalola lulz lalo lulz lalo lulz!

  • eddie is one of the greatest ever

  • great cover of the beatles ;)

  • It sounds like a cover by Scott Stapp of Creed.

  • Eddie, you were made to make everything awesome and goose bumpy.

  • People are going to be pissed, but I like this cover of the song better than the original.

  • Same here ! @centerforce2 

  • @centerforce2 I'd be pissed you you thought the original was better than this!!

  • I've a category called likes but not greats just for such a song lol

  • I love you Eddie Vedder!!!

  • Ha well now that cucurulito pointed that out... dam its fits too well

  • great cover

  • Stop ''fighting'''wich song is better, and just enjoy the song..

    Peace!

  • great cover song by eddie ..

  • :D

  • I love this song =P so so much.

  • I don't care what you guys think I am adding this in my fave list..

  • Comment removed

  • Nothing beats the Original! Noone is better than the Beatles...I tried to find a good cover an actually I found it, but i found out too it is better to stay faithful!

  • i love the Beatles and Pearl Jam or Eddie Vedder whichever you want to call it and i love this song too but over all i think Vedder sung this song better than Lennon did, Vedder just has a passion in his voice when he sings this song that Lennon didnt...either way they are both amazing singers Rock on Eddie! R.I.P. John! <3

  • Eddie Veder's best performances are ALL covers (hide your love away, last kiss, rockin in the free world, my city of ruins, etc)

  • @travian00000000 That is bullshit dude,have you ever heard Pearl Jam? They have a dozen or so albums of great songs and the few covers he has done are hardly Eddie's best work.

  • No words for this amazing eddie vedder voice.

  • i completely absolutely ADORE the beatles... yet for some reason i like this one more (i still LOVE the beatles version... but i love this one a little bit more ^^)... this song used to be played a lot in a radio i used to listen to, and i didnt even know who sang it back then... this version of this song actually made me start liking eddie vedder... hehe :)

  • I heart the beatles and i heart eddie vedder. this is likely my favorite beatles cover with (surprisingly) Jim Carrey's I Am The Walrus coming in a close second.

  • loved this movie and his cover of this song...eddie vedder rules as does sean penn!!! who'd of thought he'd come this far from "Fast times at Ridgemont High"????

  • all I can say is LOL.

  • my all time favorite album is eddie vedder doing beatles songs (this is a blunt hint for eddie's next carrer move)

  • 9 people came to this page just to dislike it ?. What a bunch of fuckwits. It's a song, not a political debate. Get broardband you cheap cunts

  • @MrDeadsea000 What if they liked the beatles, heard it, thought it was bullshit. You're presumptuous.

  • EDDIE VEDDER IS AN ABSOLUTE GENIUS..SORRY I JUST CANT WRITE THIS ANY BIGGER FOR THOSE WHO DISAGREE......

  • @dakota23750 I agree. :) he is like a god. who da hell cares! musically and you can tell in real life also. ;p regular naturall person who is true. comes in small amounts, but works in bigger ways each time. =D

  • @AlternativeAbyss god has four bosses! John, Paul, George and Ringo!

  • @AlternativeAbyss ..Hey, thanks for the response to my post..good to know someone else feels the way i do about Eddie..he is so amazing & i love how he goes after what he believes in and isnt afraid to speak his mind..you're right, he is a regular down to earth natural person and thats something else i admire about him..peace Dakota :)

  • I have no interest in Pearl Jam checked them out they don't do anything for me. But this man's solo work is very fine. His covers, especially this one and The Kids are Alright, are the equal of the originals. He has a feel for this material and he lets it come out without barriers. His voice is, of course, special, but he is a gifted artist on top of the natural talent.

  • It's almost as good as the original, not quite though.

  • Great cover!

  • How much do I fucking love Eddie Vedder, let me count the ways...oh just to hug the man, just to stand in an embrace with him in silence, exchanging energy. That would be good enough for me...because seriously, Eddie has kept me alive since 1991 and I would just like to thank him for that.

  • it's actually an hilarious song about boners

  • @cucurulito It's about the beatles' manger and how he was gay but ok

  • @cucurulito I remember hiding my "love" away in high school. "Why you holding your books like that? In front of your pants while you walk?"

  • @cucurulito I love how you need to keep perfect grammar with "an hilarious" while talking about boners...

  • @cucurulito Awesome interpretation. Never looked at this beautiful little song that way :D

  • @cucurulito You are so right! :)

  • @cucurulito Thanks.. you just ruined this song for me.

  • @cucurulito Cannot unread

  • it's amazing but it's not better than Beatles,John's voice in this song it's just perfect

  • Eddie's version is the best.Cornell's cover is also better than original song of Beattles.

  • Eddie's voice is amazing, but this song needed John. My biased opinion. I love both artists, but Eddie probably could show his voice better off elsewhere, instead of the strain he has in this song.

  • i was just listening to "elderly woman behind the counter of a small town" and had to pause it cos it reminded me of this, so i youtubed "got to hide your love away eddie vedder" on the off chance he'd done it and here it is! and its amazing, too

  • i like the beatles version better but this is good

  • I am Tais Lujan Birgimann

  • Eddie you the man love this song Beatles best band ever but you do this song justice

  • i love oasis but eddie vedder's version takes the cake. =) to me its par with the orig. eddie has an amazing voice even that guy from creed tried to capture it.beautiful song on a relaxing sunday morning!.

  • Wow!!!! You rarely ever here anybody ever do the beatles justice in covers, but vedder def did it.

  • Eddie Vedder es demasiado. 

  • Love the song and the movie!

  • Fantastic

    Great singer

  • Fantastic

  • Just lovely

  • 6 people don't like music.

  • Vedder cover in the world!!

  • fantastic cover

  • beautiful version, and yes both great versions and different

  • Beautiful...

    

  • I don't know why there has to be an argument over which version is better, both are very different and very beautiful.

  • Beautiful-Van

  • it's almost sounds as Eddie wrote it originally.. and i am a great fan of the Beatles.

    it just fits.

  • Far too short

  • Just Beautiful !

    Eddie Vedder is one of the most talantful artist I've ever seen !

    (and I'm a really big Beatles fan who shouts everytimes we touch them xD)

  • I think his voice is perfect for this song

  • I heard beatles version, followed by Chris Cornell, followed by this one ... it was like three different songs ... classic, rock and intermediate

  • why on earth would you thumbs down this? 6 unfortunate def people.....

  • It's funny because I've just gotten into the Beatles a couple years ago (they're my favoritest band now) and I remember my mom had the soundtrack from I Am Sam and this was my favorite song.I just think it's funny because I didn't know that the songs from I Am Sam were covers because I didn't know about The Beatles.Eddie Vedder does a great cover of this!I bet John would like it :)

  • Totally fucking awesome!

  • nothing like the original, but this is pretty good... eddie vedder is a great vocalist

  • @Scaar81 Nothing like the original? whats so different about it? the instrumentation is the same, the singing rhythm is about the same, the most noticeable difference is the fact that its Eddie Vedder's voice and not john Lennon's.

  • @MsDizzyMissLizzy yes it is ;) very good covers... sam liked the beatles

  • i would definitely hit the <3 button. thanx for sharing.

  • Is there a "Love" button to press?

  • It's funny i figured out who this guy is just a week ago becouse of into the wild but i've loved his music for a long time with out knowing it! He has one of the most amazing voices i've ever heard.

  • I love The Beatles.!!

  • don't change to much from the original but eddie vedder is very good and i love this song and beatles

  • beatles forever

    eddie vedder should ceep to into the wild

  • @robbieC971 hes from pearl jam. hes not tryin to steal from the beatles. he likes them so redid there song

  • Dont get me wrong...I love the beatles. But a lot of covers are much better than the beatles. This, Cockers version of a little help (you all know its better), elton johns version of lucy in the sky (and pinball wizard, i know its not beatles, but its better than the whos, and i love the who). Well i say a lot...theres 3. But yea...all good songs :)

  • this is awesome. better than the original!!!!!!

    

  • i think this version has much more feeling in it.

  • ซึ้งมากเลยครับ ชอบมาก ทั้งเนื้อหาหลักของเรื่องและบทพ­ูดที่มีพูดถึงวง The Beatles ตลอดเลย เพลงประกอบของ The Beatles ก็เหมาะมากเลยครับ

  • What a perfect choice to play a fucking retard.

  • I am a hardcore Beatles fan and love Pearl Jam. I think Eddie did the song justice. Either version is a pure pleasure. They just don't write simple effective beautiful songs like this anymore.

  • i like both version.=)

  • Great Cover!!!!!

  • this song was made for eddei vedder's voice...john lennons voice sounds all raspy when he sings it

  • i just died and was reborn by this song!\wow eddie is epicly perfect

  • the only reason most Beatles covers are used in movies is because they are much cheaper.... this version ain't a bad version though...

  • grande eddie

  • Goddamnit. I just cried.

  • Eddie is a great human and artist!

  • well i gotta say i like chris cornells version better even tho it sounds very similar, but still, huge pearl jam fan so i love this

  • John used to be my favorite Beatle. As I've grown older it's become George.

  • @chantoke

    Mccartney here!

  • @chantoke

    Same for me, except I went from Paul to George

  • John rocks the song!

  • I think vedder has a far more passionate version than the beatles. In a song like this, passion is what makes it.

  • Beautiful <3

  • I like this cover a lot. if I had to choose it'd just be the beatles. But I like vedder's grungy sort of voice too. Both are amazing. Split decision Beatles 30-29, 29-30, 30-29

  • beter than orginal! i love EDDIE <3
