    I went to high school with Eddie Vedder (then Eddie Mueller). He was on the surf team and in drama club (my sister did 3 plays with him and he was an insanely good actor).
    Eddie was the only person at our school who could be a surfer, a drama geek, be voted Most Talented his senior year and still be the most casually cool guy in school with one of the hottest surf chicks as his girlfriend.
    Always legendary.

      That would be great if they listened to it alone and not in front of an audience for the first time. I enjoy lyrical breakdown more than them just listening to the song 100% of the time. This is for every reaction channel ever. If you don't spend the time and effort with the audience on say "your favorite song, that you have been waiting for" it almost feels insulting. We won't ever see their second or third time experiencing the song. We won't see them understanding it or connecting with the lyrics, if all they do is "listen" to it once on the channel. So in my opinion, I don't think your opinion applies to these videos. I also think the quality of their vids go down infinitely when they don't look at the lyrics after. I hate it.

    • @JamoonXerxesSauber
      @JamoonXerxesSauber 2 года назад +1

      Rock/metal and especially prog metal and grunge usually have a lot going on, a wall of noise, extra little touches here and there that can distract from listening to the lyrics for the first few listens. I think that's even more extreme for the uninitiated or newer listeners.

      It's been the same for me my whole life. My ear is attracted more to instrumentation.. I'm sure that's common though.
      But I've been actively trying to pay attention to lyrics for the last couple of years. I started to discover that I like songs that I normally wouldn't like due to instrumentation, and I've also discovered that some of my favorite songs have lyrics/message that I can't support. If that makes sense.

A lot of musicians I've played with down the years describe music as colours, something I never understood being colourblind, I hear notes as emotional characteristics, learning music theory kinda destroyed the mystery but helps put names on the feelings that each note emotes,

      The whole colour as notes thing is probably true for them. Some people have synesthesia which can create associates between unrelated things. Associating colours with days of the week, sounds with colours, music notes as colours etc. Some experts think some of the classical composers like Mozart and Beethoven had synesthesia, they literally could hear music and visualise colours, so when they wrote a symphony it was like painting a canvas for an artist.

    This song is so epic, I grew up in the 90s, this was some of the music that introduced poetry to a different social class that may never have experienced people expressing their emotions this way. PearlJam had an awesome sound and that attracted people from everywhere but then we were blown away at the lyrics, the depth and substance is meant to be interpreted in your own way, apply the lyrics to your own part life experiences and almost every song can have deep personal meaning. Yes, the lyrics have the bands true meaning and intent, but they encourage you to experience their music in your own personal way. God damn poetry here.

    Hey, oh
    Sheets of empty canvas
    Untouched sheets of clay
    Were laid spread out before me
    As her body once did
    All five horizons
    Revolved around her soul
    As the earth to the sun
    Now the air I tasted and breathed
    Has taken a turn
    Oh and all I taught her was everything
    Oh I know she gave me all that she wore
    And now my bitter hands
    Chafe beneath the clouds
    Of what was everything
    Oh the pictures have
    All been washed in black
    Tattooed everything
    I take a walk outside
    I'm surrounded by
    Some kids at play
    I can feel their laughter
    So why do I sear
    Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin
    Round my head
    I'm spinning
    Oh, I'm spinning
    How quick the sun can, drop away
    And now my bitter hands
    Cradle broken glass
    Of what was everything
    All the pictures have
    All been washed in black
    Tattooed everything
    All the love gone bad
    Turned my world to black
    Tattooed all I see
    All that I am
    All that I'll be, yeah
    Uh huh, uh huh, oh
    I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
    I know you'll be a star
    In somebody else's sky

    Why
    Why can't it be
    Oh can't it be mine

    This is Grunge, so the vocals as well as the instrumentals are sludgy/heavy with deep azz lyrics!! (GOOD STUFF!😊).... Grunge by definition is something that is dirty, messy, heavy etc.... you know, the kind of stuff we like to "sweep under the rug".... I think that's why it was termed "Grunge" music... the heavy, sludgy instrumentals and the DEEP lyrics!! Any-which-way you want to describe or label it.... it's FREAKING AWESOME in my book!!!😉😍🤗🤗
    CHECK OUT: "ALIVE" official video..... that one is amazing sonically and lyrically and although, there's a bit of a dark story behind it's inspiration.... it turned into the most POSITIVE Anthem for the band..... Eddie Vedder has thanked the fans on MANY occasions for that!!! 🤗😎❤❤❤

    Keep in mind break up songs aren't always about a man or a woman, but about their break up with their inner masculine or inner feminine energy, their loss of masculine driven mindset or female intuition, a loss of faith in God/Goddess, their Inner G/Energy. Often time people don't understand the Divine Mission of Self Love and Unconditional Love, The 'State of Love and Trust' (another Pearl Jam song, about life's journey being "busted down to pre-tests). There are intensely spiritual meanings to the core of these songs.

    I always find it interesting when people listen to a new song like they're watching a new movie... sitting there feeling lost, trying to gather the plot, feeling like they're missing out on "what's going on" if they can't understand or hear the lyrics. I feel like your first time needs to just be soaking in the sounds and the music as a whole, not trying to fully understand every aspect of the lyrics, but getting ideas about it, puzzle pieces you begin to piece together. Like movies, a lot of the time you don't even understand what's going on until you've watched them the second or third time. Especially movies or music that's worth a damn.
