  • ever since the Chilean Eddie Vedder i see more and more foreign languages under Pearl Jam videos....LIKE IF YOU KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT.

  • @guitarfan8815 what do you mean foreing? the internet has no borders son, nor the music ;)

  • @thisIsNotReallyAname though i like your point, youtube is an american company. and pearl jam is an english speaking band. My only point was wondering if there was a correlation between the Chilean Eddie Vedder video and the amount of foreign language(languages other than english) comments on Pearl Jam videos. but i agree with you about the internet not having any borders.

  • Hey I just wanna know, what is "ledbetter" Mean?

  • Rock on boys

  • i love how he freestyles this everytime lol

  • the person doing the lights sucks we should be able to see what hes playing you fucking dickhead

  • why are so many people hating on this? 4.3 million views over 7,000 likes...yet almost 1/2 the comments are negative-i honestly did not even think i would see more than a few (if even)-i love finding musical gems like this on youTube and am used to comments good and bad both-this is just ridiculous though! if 1/2 the people aren't enjoying this then don't watch/listen to pearl jam videos -- F#%kin' DUH...if you type justin bieber in the search box all you haters will find what your looking for..

  • this mythical guitar riff sounds so hendrixian, but so damn efficient...

  • yeah even though the verse is different in every live version. I mumbles the shit on purpose...doesn't now his own lyrics. I still love this version. But its funny.

  • Love this version, anyone know if this particular version is on a CD??

  • @steffec100 Its on the Jeremy single and it was put on the Rearviewmirror: Greatest Hits CD :)

  • Okay, to clear this up. The song is talking about his friend Tim Ledbetter. Tim's brother was in the Gulf war and He died there. Eddie's brother also went. Eddie once said "I'd like to wish this war away, and I tried but it just, just don't happen, don't happen that way/And my brother...they sent him off to fight for the flag, I just, I don't hope he comes home in a box or a bag" They received the news in a letter. Eddie saluted the family and the flag on their porch. They just glared at him.

  • @pbownsu This adds more meaning to this song than any other speculations. Everyone of his songs have a life meaning, nothing is meaningless, this adds so much. Thank you.

  • Why question one of the greatest singer in the world, the feeling of a song meens more thana

  • I dont understand 96 dislikes. seriously.....

    

  • Comment removed

  • the beggining reminds me of little wing so much its retarded

  • >:D

  • Watch this EDDIE VEDDER  watch?v=iD32b_iA2uE

  • I think Eddie Vedder doesnt even know the words to this song.

  • @Ewing5150 Eddie Vedder confessed in an interview that he changes the lyrics of this song when they perform it live.

  • It's not you. The lyrics are never the same.

  • Javier Diaz sings like Eddie Vedder /watch?v=iD32b_iA2uE 

  • @ucmmed2011 lo mejor!!! grande Javier!

  • @ucmmed2011

    Yeah might have some similarities, but he is no Eddie Vedder. So go on with your life now.

  • song is about the yellow letters that are given to the families of soldiers killed in war. "Unsealed, on a porch a letter sat." Is the original lyrics. Ive never heard eddie sing it the same. He uses different lyrics every time they play it.

  • my all time favorite song...... i dont think anyone really knows whatsits really about, i have heard alot of different therories but i just know i love the way it makes me feel when i hear it..... seems kinda like a sad song, this is the one i listen to when i know i need a good cry!!!! helps to cleanse the soul!!!!

  • @decaalv Dude, it's about the singer's friend, who's name is/was Tim Ledbetter.

  • costa rica costa rica costa rica suenan en costa rica ya tengo mi entrada

  • it's kind of like opera, don't have a clue what they are saying but the voice, melody and music is beautiful anyways!

  • I don't give a fuck what he's saying, it's beautiful! He is truly a gift from God to US!

  • @decaalv agreed! I don't understand what he's saying and I've living in America all my life, I've even lived in Chicago and San Diego where Vedder is from!

  • Eddie Vedder Chileno Lo Maximoo! :D

  • could someone tell me is that Stone or Mike playing guitar?

  • could someone tell me is that Stone or Mike playing guitar?

  • viene a peru yeaaaaaaa por finnnnn yeaaaaaaaa

  • Unsealed on a porch a letter sat.

    Then you said, "I wanna leave it again."

    Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand.

    And on the sand I wanna leave it again. Yeah.

    On a weekend I wanna wish it all away, yeah.

    And they called and I said that "I want what I said" and then I call out again.

    And the reason oughta' leave her calm, I know.

    I said "I know what I was the boxer or the bag."

  • @joedange2007 I think he says box like coffin.. ;)

  • you don't understasnd the lyrics and you don't need to. the guitar says everything that needs to be said

  • if this song has no real lyrics, how does eddie remember what to say next when he performs this in concerts?

  • Don't need to know the lyrics man!! I can feel the music man!

  • @decaalv haha its true if u look at the lyrics he doesnt appear to say much of them atall - its still sick though!!

  • For Dave and January.  Dave is our guitar. And January is his wife. '47 to '99.

  • I remember my friend was like the song on the reverse side may even be better than Jeremy. Looking back now. I think he may be right.

  • Amazing!

    

  • im goin to see the man eddie vedder tommorow at sask place!

  • This song is a of my favorites of @PearlJam ¡¡

  • Over 4 million views and I'm the only one to like?? Not one to claim 1st but "1st" dammit...yeaaaayuh!

  • @wolfshadowspoodles Must've been a bug ;) gratz anyways

    -

    Pearl Jam with an acoustic guitar and some djembe's instead of drums with lotsa friends and a campfire. That'd be perfect.

  • great baand . Portugal miss PJ !!! =P

  • Eddie vedder

  • I love Pearl Jam and he is from my era and he is most alsome and great and compassionate and loving to all his friends, family and fans. May Jesus Christ bless him forever more.

  • Melhor banda dos anos 90** Best band of the 90 +³

  • For those that are curious, this song is about Eddie's friend's brother, who was killed in Desert Storm. "I don't know whether it's a box or a bag ...."
