@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.
@NecroGoreGod its the last name of his friend who lost his brother in desert storm. Yellow ledbetter is about the walk they took after they found out. Yellow is the color of the letter given to the family telling them what had happened.
@shotgunsurgeon23 That´s the right translation, And i´m German, and never heard "Faggot" in this way. We don´t have Yellow Foggots here, never heart of that.. i know the desert storm translation.... Peace out
@allanhornig haha. right on. i remember the last time you performed this song in front of 50,000 people and you nailed every note. ahhh, those were the days.
I was gonna dislike this but when I heard he doesn't want a whale in a box or a bag, I had to thumbs up. I don't want a whale in a box or a bag either. I was hoping Mr. Vedder could tell me why they suntan nails though. Well I have to go...Bennigans is closing.
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..
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.
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.
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 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!
We're an independent label trying to make it in this game and the best way to do that is by being more known on youtube.One of the ways we stand out is we help unsigned artists get more fans by uploading their songs for a new fan base
