I definitely thought it was "all the beaches have been washed in black." Oh well... Eddie Vedder's mumbles strike again! But that's ok, because they're still my favorite band of all time!
man it dont get any better than this! this was when there was no internet just MTV ( music vids) for the kids that dont know and the radio. there wernt a million bands that sound like shit. this was the age of music and im blessed to be apart of it! i wish i could go back to the 90's for a week...damn i miss them days! thank you eddie for that special voice that influenced the teens in the early 90s like me to wanna be musicans!
he's comparing the sun to his love and he is the earth revolving around the sun/love. and when his love left his sun fell out of sight, and he is in forever darkness
it's nice that someone who finally does the lyric video gives the ending lyrics for the unplugged version, thanks! the ending verse really relates to me.
I dogged around on my girl, she was everything that was cool and pure and innocent in this world but she gave me all she had and wasnt having my shit anymore.... sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay laid spread out before me as her body once did...how quick the sun can drop away and now my bitter hands cradle broken glass, of what was everything....
I agree with you... I think that people who disliked this song had a really big problem with their feelings, had broken heart and deep inside in them they live this song....
This song is a pile of shit with creative nothingness............... I'm only joking fucking love it. Brilliant. Eddie Vedder must go down as one of the best singers of all time.
My profile pic is a painting directly inspired by this song and the agonies of depression. It is called Three Black Suns (Depression). I owe PJ for helping me find the courage to try and capture it in a meaningful way, a healing way, like this song does. Giving it a voice, a shape, can be the only toehold we ever get to hang on to, as so many know listening to this song.
..oh what was everything? I don't know would I ever forgive you, I hate you. You and her, happy together. Why did you kiss me? Why did you say so beautiful things and left? You made me think that I'm the happiest person ever and then, then you just left. I hate you
as long as you believe that salvation is outside you, you will be in that state of mind all that salvation needs is a little willingness from you to see life from a different perspective, and also clarify some basic concepts that if they are wrong in your head you see a world that it doesn't make sense, to say that you are depressed you are assuming you know who you are, if you knew who you are you wouldn't be depressed, if it doesn't make you happy is not love,
This is the unplugged version? I'm pretty sure. I like it a lot more but in this case i was looking for the studio version. You should change the title or put it in the description to avoid confusion
I saw Pearl Jam during the summer of 03, they did a 3 day outdoor concert at Great Woods in Mass. Vedder interacted with the crowd, the whole band was so down to earth regular guys. They played a really long version of Black on the 3rd night. Pearl Jam didn't get off stage until nearly 11 PM on the last evening. I don't like their studio albums very much, their definitely a better live concert or event band. The top comment ( from shamash82) would make a great verse for a PJ song.
I absolutely adore the comment by shamash82. Thank you for spreading love not hate. Little did you know that there is someone out there that needed to read that. I am one of those people. so thank you for it. I shall pass it along. All the best!
@Bertbilnaat it means exactly what it says to your soul...that is what I love about music, it means exactly what it says to person, regardless if you understand every word.
most melancholic song of all times, from beginning to end. I remember when i used to listen to this song a million times because i missed him, i didnt want our love to go bad. if you are going through that and feel like you are spinning too, just hang in there because it is just a matter of time, you will make it through as I did, now I'm happy again (: and still listening to this song makes me remember all the sad moments, im just glad my depression is part of my past.
FUCKING PEARL JAM OMG THANK YOU PEARL JAM THIS SHIT BROUGHT ME TO TEARS EDDIE VEDDER REINCARNATION OF JIM MORRISON FUCKING THE SECOND COMMING OF JESUS
This song means a lot to me, for many reasons. Bring me back to life, to love every time. Today I was not feeling so good and I was taken here, Shamash82 your words changed my mind, it´s amazing how we still can find people around the world with something really nice to say, I´m from Brasil and probally we will never meet, but somehow, tonight you are part of my life. God bless you. I´m going to see Pearl Jam live in november btw!
I cannot listen to this song too often, do you want to know the reason why? Because it's just TOO good and brings a tear to my eye every fucking time. Shamash82, I agree that your message is the most beautiful statement I have ever seen on youtube and also choked me. It was amazing to hear this version of it, as I found Eddie Vedder's singing is EVEN BETTER live than on the studio version, which is rarity these days!
Extremely good lyrics, extremely good music, extremely good performance + very well done job with the video! I am watching it at least ten times a day!

Has lost a love, and his memories have faded to black because it is so

him alive and moving on, but his sorrow and love keeps him tormented. That
