My thoughts at the end
a lot of Eddie Vedder's lyrics in the early years were about troubled youth, abuse, and how no one was listening. he tried to bring these topics out into the public for more discussion. they got a lot of flack for this song since some people thought they were trying to profit off Jeremy Dell's death, but Eddie repeatedly said he just wanted people to notice and talk about these issues more. Also the song is only loosely based on Dell's life. Eddie also used some of his own high school experiences to write the lyrics and he did not know Dell's parents or whether they treated him badly or not. the only thing he knew was that he killed himself in front of his class. He said it impacted him because you kill yourself to try to make this big old statement and yet all that's left is a short paragraph in the paper and everything else goes on, but you are no longer here to make a difference. Eddie has always been outspoken against suicide. even though grunge music has a reputation for being depressing, he always tried to bring some level of hope or survival to his music.
Thank you for sharing 🙂
The emotive power of Eddie Vedder’s voice, to me, is in the top five of all male rock. One of the best match-ups of voice to song. IMO, is Vedder’s live cover of Dylan’s song Masters of War. If anyone here hasn’t seen that, and if you love Vedder, you should. It’s an equal to Disturbed’s cover of Sound of Silence.
Agreed. I assume you’re referring to the 30th Anniversary Tribute Concert for Dylan, from 1993. It’s an incredible performance by Eddie.
Yes!!
Sound of Silence uses autotune just so you know..Eddie does not..Can't really compare the two..Just sayin'..
@@dizzle7558agree
@@dizzle7558thank you! I was going to point that out. Eddie’s voice is far superior and needs no autotune.
the lyrics, "try to forget this - try to erase this from the blackboard" give me chills every time! 😟
Thanks for doing this reaction. Pearl Jam has never shied away from difficult or controversial subjects. Eddie Vedder’s lyrics touch on everything from suicide to domestic violence. And he always puts his entire being into every performance. The group didn’t make many music videos, but another one definitely worth watching is the powerfully animated “Do The Evolution”, a biting piece of social commentary nominated for a Grammy award. It’s also, imo, one of their best songs.
If you continue to explore Pearl Jam, please check out some of the songs from MTV’s Unplugged. The entire set is terrific, but “State Of Love And Trust”, “Black”, and an amazing performance of “Porch”, are not to be missed from that show.
I was really happy when RUclips released the original unedited music video it doesn't hold the same emotion weight without that final shot
Same.
That final moment is so pivotal to the story, the shock is necessary for people to really understand what happened.
Agreed. I wish they’d get rid of those dumb pop ups over the end of the video.
Powerful song! One of my favorites. Eddie’s passion is strong.
I was a sophomore in high school when this came out. I loved Pearl Jam and this song/video and I vaguely understood the context of it, but now as an adult everytime I see a reaction to it and really focus in on it I get tremendous emotions. Just a solid piece of art that tells a very important story.
Same here. I was 15 when I saw this and it gutted me. Now at 47 with a child or my own who has suffered bullying, it hits even harder. Such a piece of music video history.
Powerful song, I didn't appreciate it until I was in my 30s. I totally cried just now. No kid should have to go through bullying, thus world is effing cruel
One of the best rock (grunge) songs out there, raw, real, sad, it has everything...
What incredible emotion and intensity in Eddie's voice!
Great choice doing Jeremy. Really one of the greatest and most unique rock songs ever.
I was 15 when this song came out. A very angsty time for anyone, and I totally related. I can still sing every word to every song on “Ten”. Ah, nostalgia…
It's really interesting to get your take on this, and I'm glad it still has emotional impact.
Something that made it devastating when it came out was that it was pre-Columbine, and the idea of violence in schools was really foreign and shocking. Bullying was known, but not really talked about, and there was an idea that "it makes you stronger". I know Columbine was what really kicked these types of discussions into overdrive, but this video had such a huge cultural impact and started us talking about bullying as a serious topic.
My English teacher played it for us, actually, and that was where I first heard/saw it. A classroom of sarcastic, disconnected Gen X teens, and there was just a stunned silence at the end. A few of us were crying. Incredibly powerful.
Don't know where I'm going with these comments, but thanks so much for sharing. :)
all time classic! simply powerful with or without the video
I always thought it was very interesting that the lyrics are from the p.o.v. of one of Jeremy's classmates who even admits to bullying him and only now after Jeremy's gone and he's learning about his awful home life feels remorseful about everything.
Isn't it told by his Father?
@@kevinjennings238 no, because he talks about picking on the boy at school and thinking he was harmless but little did they know.
'clearly I remember
pickin' on the boy
seemed a harmless little f*ck
ooh but we unleashed the lion
gnashed his teeth and bit the recess lady's breast
how could I forget'
Eddie said the song is a combination of the small article he read about Jeremy Dell's death and his own high school experiences.
@@leinonibishop9480 I Get That, but Isn't Eddie saying it as HE is Jeremy's Dad?
You're saying it's a Classmate Singing the Song?
Hmmmm
@@kevinjennings238 yes it's from the perspective of a classmate that picked on jeremy and didn't realize the harm they might be causing.
@@leinonibishop9480 Gotcha! Thanx!
A sad footnote to this video...Trevor Wilson who plays the boy Jeremy in this video passed away by drowning a few years ago at age 36...
😢
Not sure if you have done it yet but you should check out Hunger Strike by Temple of the dog...Eddie and Chris Cornell from Soundgarden ...
One of my favourite Pearl Jam songs ever since my first listen. The video really represents the background of this song. Eddie sells it hard on this one. You NEED to do more Pearl Jam material on here my man. They’re fucking great. 😄👍🤟
I’d love for you to check out their song “Porch” live from Pinkpop ‘92, epic performance!
Every Pearl Jam song is worth a listen!! They are so good.
Most powerful video ever made
Your emotion was evident, Sal. That people are now afraid to say what they feel. It IS sad. It is Terribly, awfully, excruciatingly sad. Tragic.
Jeremy spoke in class today..so powerful ❤️🩹💔
To all those who have endured things only you bear please you're not alone. From someone who has suffered myself please keep strong
When you think that this song is 20 + years old, and so extremely relevant, and the explosive delivery of Vedder with the band, it makes it more emotional.
Once upon a time, music had content and talked about really uncomfortable things...
This is an anthem of a generation and I'm very happy to have belonged to it... We learned to speak face to face about all the problems of this world, which are not few...
Thank you for such an insightful reaction to this song.
It's so weird being old and young kids don't know grunge. It's a weird feeling
difficult to watch this song it's so good but at the same time heartbreaking. i was around his age when i had these thoughts I'm glad i had help
Love this song, it hits me deep growing up an outcast
i really appreciate your willingness to let the song play through and comment at the end because so many reactors constantly interrupt the song which really disrupts the emotional impact and buildup.
i hope you do a deep dive into their music catalog because some of their best songs were not huge radio hits (i'm looking at you garden, oceans, w.m.a, breath, wash, etc) they also have some great songs on their newer albums, although there sound has mellowed and matured over the years and isn't as raw.
g.damn eddie vedder is so charismatic. also, i still want that jacket to this day.
Just beautiful.
In my opinion, THIS is what a music video could do, or can do, with uber-important topics like this...viscerally tell a story, and don't pull many punches. FYI - I've been there as far as getting to a point where I thought all and any hope was gone, and came very close to ending my life. Thankfully I called the National Suicide Prevention hotline - which today is as simple as dialing 988. Yes, there's a 911 number for folks contemplating suicide. Please PLEASE use the number if you have a single thought about killing yourself - everybody matters, and every soul is important.
Powerful song with a powerful message. Your face says it all.
Powerful song and Powerful video. I was a senior in college when this was released.
if you truly wanna listen to Eddies amazing vocals, listen to Release live in Amsterdam 92 its jaw droppingly good . Love your reaction mate
Still one of the most effective, powerful music videos ever made 30+ years later.
Another I'm almost certain you've heard of is P.O.D. " Youth of the Nation". It was relevant 21 years ago and quite possibly more so today.
This still gives me chills❤
Mental health wasnt talked about especially amoung young people in the early 90s such a good song
I remember my Dad talking to me about the meaning of this song and how powerfully it was.
Agreed about the importance of songs that tackle difficult subjects. Two very popular songs that have important messages you should check out include Luka by Suzanne Vega, and Everybody Hurts by REM.
I'll add What's The Matter Here by 10,000 Maniacs to that list.
Hell is for Children by Pat Benatar and Nickelback's Never Again are also fantastic.
Lets all keep talking! Great reaction video:)
Hey salvo a good song also is called porch hope you will enjoy that song
Thnx for looking it up before just reacting to the song.
Amazing song
A tough subject. I remember this particular video originally being censored. But eventually released. They brought attention to a critical problem. Unfortunately, it is still a problem. 😭
Powerful song here. Goosebumps love you
A very tough song to listen to. But an important subject. Another great somg with similar content by a very underrated band is the song God is a bullet by Concrete Blond. And the more main stream song better known by the band is Joey.
I Love Perl Jam 😂❤yes
spot on!!
Soo emotion😢
There is another video that shows more including Jeremy raising the the gun to his head. There are even more visual shots of Eddie ‘acting’. His voice and face say it all
If I may recommend another emotional gut punch from Pearl Jam (there are MANY) but my first choices would be either Elderly Woman Behind That Counter In a Small Town or Release.
I believe they also did a version called Not Jeremy which is just the instrumental
Still remember when this first aired on MTV, it was shocking to say the least, it was one of those videos alongside cranberries ‘zombie’ that really opens the eyes to the reality of others.
EDDIE SAID MUSIC SAVED HIS LIFE. WITHOUT IT HE WOULD HE WAS GOING HIMSELF LIKE JEREMY
The flag that's shown at the 7:09 is upside-down signaling distress, or emergency!..from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠
I was 11 years old when this video came out, and I was a somewhat sheltered kid. I'd never seen the undedited version where "Jeremy" puts the revolver in his mouth, so for a long time it was my assumption that he walked into the classroom and shot the teacher. I was vaguely aware of what suicide was, but I was extremly naive, so it wouldn't have occurred to me that it was something a school-aged person might do. You have to remember this was years before Columbine; nobody would have guessed that school shootings were going to become regular occurrences.
The kids in the classroom are not doing the Nazi Salute if that's what you're referring to.
It's the Bellamy salute which was how Americans did the Pledge of Allegiance before WWII.
Once Hitler started doing something similar we stop doing this and instead just placed the hand over the heart.
I'm not sure if it had a direct meaning, perhaps about American society and us never really learning from the past.
Or it was Pearl Jam's way if people were paying attention to the video and therefore Jeremy's story..
1a música do pearl Jam qe ouvi. ❤❤❤Voz do Eddie única 👏
What happened to the kid that played
Jeremy?
I know some of us were having a hard time with the movie-type video that Mark made, because our two previous videos were made live." Jeremy
was played by 12-year-old Trevor Wilson, in his only acting role. Wilson would drown in 2016, at age 36, while swimming in Puerto Rico.
He passed in his thirties.
His voice hurts my heart.
Great reactions to all your videos. One thing - any way you can just leave the bottom right corner for the video? The cropping really get to be a bit much. :)
Especially right at the end at the most important part! That was driving me nuts!
You should listen to Lazareth By David Bowie. It was his last song he did before he passed. I little ode to all his fans. It's such a good song.
❤
A good song to follow up this one, is Every body hurts by R.E. m
I wish you'd listen to the "mini opera". It's a trilogy of the first 3 songs Eddie wrote and sent the tape back to Stone and Jeff. They are Alive, Once and Footsteps. I think you'd enjoy the back story. Footsteps is incredible! They al are, but that one rips my heart out. I think you'd really enjoy them. Thank you!
Cause and effect
You should definitely look at the second album " VS " it's less polished than the first album and has a more raw feel that I think the band preferred....
First track is the incredible "GO" and has more energy and fire than anything you heard from them so far 🔥🔥🔥
4:30 I hear ya man, that's kinda the thing with Eddie...His voice is so good that you don't really care what he is saying...but yeah, this song in particular is some heavy stuff...
Reminds me of the Adam's Song by Blink-182
this is based on a true story
Jeremy's parents saw the video and approved of it.
No one ever talks about the boy acting in the video. He did an incredible performance.
Here's the video of the real aftermath of it:
ruclips.net/video/YZ9Ky0DU6BI/видео.html
Try to forget this. Try to erase this from the blackboard.
The thing is, the real Jeremy's death inspired the song but the song is nothing really like Jeremy's real story.
Pearl Jam, and especially Eddie, have never shied away from and actually often spoke out about things that were impacting their generation. These guys were in high school in the 80s, during a time when there was a rise in gun violence in schools (leading up to Columbine mid 90s) and a huge spike in teen suicides. Bullying, being latchkey kids, and a host of other things--video games, music--all were blamed. Eddie took the story of Jeremy and transposed his own interpretation of growing up in the era of raising ourselves and the high school experience of the loner onto it. It spoke to us and to that generation because we could understand "Jeremy"--if we weren't a little like him, we probably knew someone who was.
Only just seen this, i believe the family of Jeremy sued Pearl Jam when this was released
This hits home as in my area a sudent just last week committed suicide by jumping off a balcony at Ft. Lauderdale High school. So sad.
Yeah, it moves you. 😢
God just l,ook at Eddie's beautiful face. Then he hits you with that voice.
Yeah as pointed out in comment below, check out Eddie doing Dylans masters of War....its off the scale
There is a video that tells the truth about Jeremy and behind the music
the boy who played Jeremy in the video drowned while surfing in Puerto Rico by himself almost 24 years to the day from the drop of the video
Every body hurts by REM
☮️💙💙💙🔥😞😢
SUCH a relavent video in today's society
Pearl jam - BLACK
The video is speaking about the fascist nature that kids are forced to do the pledge of allegiance with the Nazi salutes , I got in trouble in school when I refused
Well... that was interesting. You also chose to censor the video at the same point MTV did back in the day. I say "back in the day", but the Uncensored Video just came out 2 years ago. For years, I thought Jeremy killed the kids in the class rather than himself because MTV cut the gun scene out of the video. All we got to see was a classroom full of bloody kids. Somehow, Jeremy shooting up the kids in the class was more acceptable to the censors than Jeremy committing suicide.
Anyway... my two favorite lines from this song are:
Daddy didn't give attention to the fact that the boy was something Mommy wouldn't wear.
and
Try to erase this from the blackboard.
Goosebump inducing every time I hear them.
Why do you keep cutting half the video off the screen focusing on you instead? Is it a copyright thing? I wanted to see the video
The fact it's based on a real event makes it more poignant
I STRONGLY urge you to look up the real Jeremy. He was NOT this song. He was an amazing artist who won several awards. His mother loved him unbelievably. The story is loosely based on Jeremy’s ending..which was tragic. I knew him, his family was absolutely devastated that a story about their son was incredibly exaggerated for commercial appeal. It was an awful thing to do to his family. It’s awful.
Isn't it ironic that the thing people are saying here on this thread, about learning from this tragedy and the need to talk about it, they aren't helping. They condemn bullies and then turn around and bully this family. Why can't people leave well enough alone. Regardless if you have an amazing voice and talent and are an amazing artist, in my opinion this one was done thoughtlessly. You could have made it all anonymous and not dragged a family downer than they already must be. I'm sure THIS wasn't Jeremy. Thank you for sharing that he was an outstanding artist and deeply loved. Compassion would be appropriate for this family now. I also believe the fact that it was done in the classroom was a clue that it was more the bullying than something at home. He wanted THEM to see what they had done. Truth is, none of us will ever know all of the dynamics at play here. Just have compassion people, it may have helped Jeremy and it's what we should learn. This isn't the legacy you would want for your child, why do this? I know it's meant to be art and it's life, but it's real peoples lives that they must still live. May they remember the beauty of Jeremy and learn to carry on and find healing. I am sorry for your loss.
Sadly, this was a true story.
It’s soo much worse with cyber bullying
The video kept shifting out of the picture. Very disappointing.
Probably done so it wouldn't get blocked. You can find it on RUclips and watch the whole thing uninterrupted if you have not seen it and would like to.
The video gets blocked if I don’t do this type of editing. I wanted to watch the video along with the song and unfortunately some videos get blocked from viewing due to copyright
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻music of today is so disgraceful!!! People need to speak out more and bring conscious music back! Can you react to Pearl Jam Do the Evolution please?!?
Sorry had to dip out. You really should have gone with the lyric video because you sure did not show the music video. Frustrating Others have managed it. Good luck.
Don't skip the video people need to see this! Oh and the family of the kid who did that. Well the mom tried to sue the band
Nice video. I would suggest Rearview Mirror off their sophomore album for your next video and their live @pink pop performance. Another song in the vein of Jermy from a band you need to react to sooner or later is R.E.M.'s Everybody Hurts. They influenced most 90s alt bands similar to Pearl Jam and both singers have performed live together.
