That voice.

edited July 2008 in The Porch
Every once in awhile, after listening to a bunch of new boots as I have been. I re-appreciate Ed.

When Ed is feeling it, when he has touched that spiritual part of his being and it comes out through his voice. The direct connection to his heart, his soul, and his brain and it all comes out through his voice. You know what I mean? The emotion of his voice is like nothing I have ever heard in any other performer. It just hits me. You can't help but buy in emotionally to what he is singing.

Amazing gift that Eddie Vedder is sharing with us there.

    I know what you mean, too.

    There are times for me where his voice makes me feel so calm, like everything's going to be alright.

    I feel exactly the same way...sometimes when I am upset or nervous about something I try to think about it!

    Can't wait to hear it in the opera house tomorrow!

    That's what Bee Girl always did for me. Warmth and safety.
    I do declare his voice is like a fine wine.

    Good Thread!
    Here’s a question you might need to ask
    What’s self destruction and how can we last?

    Eddie has got that rare "something" that few artists have.

    His voice is such an incredible instrument and he can emote so much just by the way he stresses and inflects certain words or phrases...it's just awesome.

    Also he's such a great performer to watch as well...I love seeing those moments when he's totally immersed and engrossed in the music. It's as if something greater is taking over his body.

    He's just got such awesome charisma and it's a beautiful thing to witness and listen too as well.

    Yes, we're lucky he continues to share it with us. :)

    I always thought there were better singers than Ed, but he's got the best voice.

    Good guy, bad ear.

    Release --- Bonnaroo --- Damn.

    I see the world
    Feel the chill
    Which way to go
    Windowsill
    I see the words
    On a rocking horse of time
    I see the birds in the rain

    Oh dear dad
    Can you see me now
    I am myself
    Like you somehow
    I'll ride the wave
    Where it takes me
    I'll hold the pain
    Release me

    Oh dear dad
    Can you see me now
    I am myself
    Like you somehow
    I'll wait up in the dark
    For you to speak to me
    I'll open up
    Release me
    Release me
    Release me
    Release me

    I like how he sometimes leaves letters out of words whens he's singing. Like a pause just long enough for him to tell if the audience is singing along with him. Or is this just me?

    when he played arc last night I was just absolutely...i don't know what...i just stood there with my mouth hanging open...the layers of his voice were transporting. I so so wish I could get a recording of that. Today I was listening the the mansfield 2 boot and you can hear him do a couple riffs at the start of the second disc...

    Ed's voice is incredible.
    I would like to be in one of these solo shows just to hear his amazing voice.
    It's the way he sings as well. You can feel his emotion and passion.
    Let's say knowledge is a tree, yeah.
    It's growing up just like me.

    He has helped me through some really tough times in my life. If it wasn't for Eddie I don't think I would be here today.
    Underneath this smile lies everything...All my hopes, anger, pride and shame...make myself a pact, not to shut doors on the past just for today,... I am free.
