So as far as I can tell, all the members of Pearl Jam are still alive. I think you've confused them with Mother Love Bone, a band that included Stone Goddard and Jeff Ament but broke up after their lead singer died, freeing up both of them to eventually form PJ with Eddie Vedder and Mike McCready. Thankfully, they're all still alive and they deserve to be ;-)
I can understand what Brenda went through, to a small extent. I'm adopted. My adoptive parents turned a blind eye to the fact that because of abuse from my birth parents, I had some substantial mental health issues. But in their eyes, to get counseling from a "shrink" was for crazies. What I needed was discipline, and lots of it. It wasn't until I became an adult that I was able to seek help. Turns out I have depression, anxiety and autism. I dont think I'll ever forgive them for denying me the help I so desperately needed. I can only imagine how much more successful my life would have turned out.
I told my friends it was a stalkers song, I was absolutely convinced because everything in that song reminded me of my ex husband who tried to kill me n stalked me for 14yrs, jail didn't matter.. I still can't listen to that song, without checking my surroundings, even though he's long gone now..judge said he would get 10yrs next time.. regardless I pack protection now.. ironically, the song came on the radio Monday as I was at gas station and I looked to my left - he was in his truck looking at me!! Thank God my adult son was there with a 9mm on his hip..YAa he left after seeing that!! Song is creepy, relatable but I love sting enough to listen to it!! It's my stalkers song!!
The Way by Fastball had a creepy backstory. It was about a elderly couple who went missing. The song makes it sound like they took off to leave there worries behind. The reality was they had dementia and got lost and were found dead at the bottom of a canyon.
I still think you should do a list about the real people mentioned in the Soul Asylum song "runaway train" video. I've been doing my own research on these forgotten people. A couple of them have been found one is presumed dead and another it was found out their mother killed her and buried her in the backyard. I feel like these people deserve to have someone research them and speak out regarding where they are.
Possibly Mother Love Bone, since a couple of their members (Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament) helped found Pearl Jam after Andrew Wood died. The two of them were also in a band with Chris Cornell called Temple of the Dog, in between Mother Love Bone and Pearl Jam. If you're a fan of grunge and haven't listened to either, I'd highly suggest it, especially MLB's song Man of Golden Words, which is where Chris got the name for his band with Stone and Jeff.
No. Courtney was somewhat powerful in the music industry at the time. Now it would be up to Francis Bean to press charges. Francis knows her mom, Courtney, isn't sane. Her dad is dead; putting her mom in prison won't bring Kurt back. But it will take away her only "parent".
And Kurt wouldn't want you to be his fan because he protected and loved Courtney til the end. He would hate all who agreed with you. Look at the variety article and disagree.
@@mrsbs7146 JaNie's got a gun and it's pretty obvious what it's about. Steven Tyler even has a foundation for kids who've been molested using the name Janie.
I'm glad Ty Knotts said: "You are loved by someone no matter if you want to believe it or not" Because sometimes people forget this when surrounded by so much darkness....
The thing about the song Jeremy was also that the parents of Jeremy were angered at pearl jam because in the lyrics, it made it look like the parents were to blame. When the parents were very loving. And Jeremy wasn't even being bullied. I remember hearing from another RUclipsr that it was because his parents were divorcing.
If you do a second one of these, you should do Augest 7th 4:15, By Bon Jovi. It's about the daughter of one of his producers. She was abducted from her neighbourhood, August 7th 4:15pm. She was assulted, murdered and left laid out for her mother to find only a few blocks from their house. True Crime and Creepy song, all in one! perfect for this channel!!
*Wait...what? What members of Pearl Jam have passed? Their drummer has been replaced numerous times but no one died.* You guys have your 90's alt. Bands confused. Of all the "grunge" bands, Pearl Jam continues to be the most stable with all its original members (sans drummer issues) and continued touring and musical production since Ten (probably b4 that record actually).
Brenda Spencer was asked about about how she felt about all the school shootings and she basically said “I feel like I started it and blame myself.” Also Under the Board Walk is one that you should talk about as well In The Air Tonight
One by Metallica. It’s pretty awesome though. It was based on a novel called _Johnny Got His Gun,_ and the lyrics tell the story of a soldier who stepped on a land mine and lost all his limbs, hearing, sight, and the ability to talk. All he can do is chant “kill me” in Morse code.
I’ve always thought there is definitely a creepy story behind Oingo Boingo’s - Little Girls. I first heard this song about 25 years ago and when someone says creepy song I always think of this one.
I Don't Like Mondays is such a good song, but the story behind its creation is disturbing and tragic. I feel a bit guilty for liking it, especially since she doesn't regret what she did. She's truly sick.
Plush by Stone Temple Pilots is another 1 that should be on this list. Definitely should make a part 2 for this video cause there's a lot of songs that should be on this list
sting wrote a few songs that scream emotional abuser, cant stand losing you said "And you'll be sorry when I'm dead When all this guilt will be on your head" which is super gross.
There is no band member from Pearl Jam that is dead. That was Chris Cornell from Audioslave/Soundgarden With every breath you take sang by Sting, he sang it from the perspective of the stalker. It’s “I’ll be watching you”. NOT “ “They’ll be watching you”.
I watched an interview with Sting back in the early 80's where he said that after she kicked him out he had crashed on his friends couch and wrote the song. He was in a very depressed spot in his life. He took the break up hard. I loved the song but you can tell it's about a stalker.
People: it's obvious what, "Pumped up kicks" is about! This is about song that have back stories not everyone knows about. "Jeremy" came out when I was in 11th grade, there was no internet (yet we managed to survive by interacting with others), so we thought he'd shot up the classroom since Pearl Jam had to cut that from the video. We didn't know it was a real person who killed himself.
I, too, was in 11th grade when "Jeremy" was released and saw them play it live a few times over the next few years. I remember hearing the story, but as you said, no internet, so it was hard to get any details. I did read a story maybe a year or two ago from Jeremy's mother and also a fellow classmate who was there when he killed himself. Both were fairly angry about the song and the way it portrayed Jeremy. Also, the fact that Eddie Vedder never contacted the family because he felt that would be too intrusive yet proceeded to write lyrics about how Jeremy was essentially mistreated by his parents and violent himself. I get using artistic license, but the least he could've done is give them a heads up or spoken to someone who knew Jeremy personally to get a better idea of the kind of kid he was or what really happened, instead of basing it off one newspaper article and his own imagination. It hadn't been long since it'd happened when they released the song, so it was still really fresh with everyone involved. To talk that way about his parents so soon after they'd just lost their son was just shitty, in my opinion.
I'm really surprised again, at all the inaccuracies. I, along with a lot of other long time subscribers have noticed this, in many vids, of late. I'll keep watching and I won't unsubscribe. I've always liked you and I've been around for a long time. Be well.
The saddest part is I have been alive through all of these and remember 4 of them when they happened. I was in high school when "Jeremy" came out/was popular. And I agree with others, you have definitely left several off of the list and will need to make more than just 1 video. -"pumped up kicks" ( everyone knows by now about this one) - "runaway train" -"the way" by fastball -"American pie" There's tons more!!! There's only one song that has ever brought me to "ugly cry" tears and that's "supermarket flowers" by Ed Sheeran. My son told me he listened to the lyrics finally and cried, because he thought about losing me...then played it for me. I bawled. We actually cried together... But yeah, tearjerker for sure!!
@@dmo4835 and if it never was "marketable"?? The cries of racism for not letting black people into what is marketable would be much louder than whatever you have to whine about. And odds are you are a white person who is pandering to a narrative that is designed to herd all the sheep together and expose the weak minds who are willing to be brainwashed
How can anyone listen to the lyrics of ‘Every Breath You Take’ and think it’s a happy positive song and not about someone being stalked? The funny thing is, I’ve heard people playing this at their wedding reception and that’s not the single you want to send to your new partner.
Hey man, I’ve noticed you have a tendency to mix up “infer” and “imply”. To infer is to draw meaning from indirect information, and to imply is to be the one providing that information. Sorry to be that guy; just noticed it in multiple videos.
Pretty sure the internet wasn't even thought of when the song was written.. levels of stocking were less complex back then . As opposed to what the poster is trying to say.
Falco Jeannie and Coming home, Guns November Rain, Runaway Train, U2 Walk on, Bucks Fizz Land of make believe... Just a few from other songs with also creepy backstories..
Half the commenters: "NoBodY iN PeArL JaM DiEd" Me: Did you even listen to the video saying they wrote the song regarding a high schooler who commited suicide? Ty literally never said a person in Pearl Jam died at any point in this video.
Jeremy was written by Eddie Vedder, lead singer of Pearl Jam & it was about Jeremy Wade Delle, a 15 yo sophomore @ Richardson HS in Richardson, Texas. He walked into his English class of 30 students & the teacher and put the pistol in his mouth & pulled the trigger. Eddie Vedder read about it in a newspaper article & wrote the song, Jeremy. Google it!
My friends and I always called “Every Breath You Take” a creepy song. When the term “stalker” came into play....we started calling it “The Stalker Song”.
@@melissababy8172 - "It is very well documented that this is about a roller coaster ride. Paul has commented on this song several times on where it came from."
Do people just not listen to lyrics anymore? These songs are straight up with what they're about. Some songs use metaphors for the darkness they refer to, but not these.
Can we talk by tevin Campbell is also a song about stalking and it’s sooo soft and gently sung that I can’t believe it took me 20+ years to notice exactly how creepy it was smh even on the single cover CREEPY
Always thought "Diane" by Husker Du was incredibly creepy. A friend of the band (Diane) was abducted & murdered and the song is written from the perspective of the killer. Or "Spear & Magic Helmet" by The Gits. The song was written as a message to someone who had sexually assaulted a friend of hers by lead singer Mia Zapata. Sadly she herself was raped & murdered a few years later.
If you can prove it, go to the police in Seattle. Otherwise, it's up to Francis Bean to press charges against her mom... oops, I mean, to reopen the case.
@@alittlebitofkat6529 the person who could prove it (El Duce) wound up dead under very suspicious circumstances. He was found dead behind his house three days after admitting on camera to a documentarian that Courtney Love tried to pay him to kill Kurt. She also had the house it happened in torn down. She may not have pulled the trigger herself, but Courtney Love had something to do with Kurt's death.
Kurt hated those that blamed his wife for things they thought they knew about her life and all these "fans" who blame Courtney for his death would be told to fck off by Kurt himself if he was to come back to life today. Look how he treated the lady from the magazine Vanity Fair. You're no real fan in his eyes, I'm sure of it.
Brenda Spencers song was a classic when I was younger. I knew the story behind it being into true crime and all even back then. There's a lot of really dark songs with strange backstories - I could add a whole new list for you! I know I have one somewhere where it was an album made purely when one artist was homeless and drug addicted so he was recording it while completely wrecked on hard drugs. Lots of stumbling across his words and such. Hard to listen to, very out of character compared to older work. Need to dig that one up.
Haven't finished all of this yet, but so far these are songs ones I really like Really liked the song "Jeremy". Of course, Sting's "Every Breath". Still listening. I'm sure to like more. I have no doubt they'll point out "I Don't Like Mondays" . It is a good song too.
Every Breathe You Take seems like a love song?!?!?!? Wha!!!! I'd take a pass on that Love. I Am Jeremy! King Jeremy The Wicked!!!! (edit) Jeremy performed art that day and of course his classmates still talk about it. Kurt was incredibly outspoken about women's rights and then you have his ole lady and her band Hole - Celebrity Skin. "Oh, Cinderella They Aren't Sluts Like You" Juxtaposition?!? I Hate Mondays! They lived in a house not an apartment, her father still lives there. There is a neighbour who does not give a shit what anyone else thinks about him huh?!?

Aerosmith: Janie's got a gun.
Forgot Eric Claptons Tears in Heaven. About his son’s death from falling to his death after a window was left open.
Is there anyone who actually thought Every Breath You Take was a sweet love song? It was always a creepy song.

Sadly she herself was raped & murdered a few years later.
Wish they’d stop calling it a suicide we all know who killed him
I stopped listening when you said Kurt committed suicide. Yes, he died that day in April 1994, but it was anything but suicide.
Agree 💯%
If you can prove it, go to the police in Seattle. Otherwise, it's up to Francis Bean to press charges against her mom... oops, I mean, to reopen the case.
@@alittlebitofkat6529 the person who could prove it (El Duce) wound up dead under very suspicious circumstances. He was found dead behind his house three days after admitting on camera to a documentarian that Courtney Love tried to pay him to kill Kurt. She also had the house it happened in torn down. She may not have pulled the trigger herself, but Courtney Love had something to do with Kurt's death.
Kurt hated those that blamed his wife for things they thought they knew about her life and all these "fans" who blame Courtney for his death would be told to fck off by Kurt himself if he was to come back to life today. Look how he treated the lady from the magazine Vanity Fair.
You're no real fan in his eyes, I'm sure of it.
I want a part 2
Some good content on this one
Thanks

Who passed away in Pearl Jam???
Nobody
Damn, I viewed this just when it was uploaded wtf
I heard Billie Jean was about a mother who gave up her child for adoption.
Brenda Spencers song was a classic when I was younger. I knew the story behind it being into true crime and all even back then. There's a lot of really dark songs with strange backstories - I could add a whole new list for you! I know I have one somewhere where it was an album made purely when one artist was homeless and drug addicted so he was recording it while completely wrecked on hard drugs. Lots of stumbling across his words and such. Hard to listen to, very out of character compared to older work. Need to dig that one up.
WTF are you talking about, no one in pearl jam died. Aside from changing drummers a few times everyone else is an original member.
Billie Jean is a famous tennis player too.!
Daim so close
Way to go dad......
Haven't finished all of this yet, but so far these are songs ones I really like Really liked the song "Jeremy". Of course, Sting's "Every Breath". Still listening. I'm sure to like more. I have no doubt they'll point out "I Don't Like Mondays" . It is a good song too.
I've never taken Every breathe you take as a love song but ..😀
Billie Jean had to do with what happened to one of his brothers
Ahahaha, of course "The Original Stalker Song" is on here (#4)...
go listen to "daddy" by korn if you want a disturbing song.
I love Michal's music, but we probably shouldn't listen to mike anymore. He touched those kids and we all know it.
You can't say "Sting"? Say it. SAY IT!
Every Breathe You Take seems like a love song?!?!?!? Wha!!!! I'd take a pass on that Love. I Am Jeremy! King Jeremy The Wicked!!!! (edit) Jeremy performed art that day and of course his classmates still talk about it. Kurt was incredibly outspoken about women's rights and then you have his ole lady and her band Hole - Celebrity Skin. "Oh, Cinderella They Aren't Sluts Like You" Juxtaposition?!? I Hate Mondays! They lived in a house not an apartment, her father still lives there. There is a neighbour who does not give a shit what anyone else thinks about him huh?!?
