Isn't it these Girl for which he wrote "Black"?

really?? I never knew who he wrote Black for! Ive always wanted to know! do you know what happened to them, is the song about them breaking up or something else?

Hmmm, when i me remembering in the right way... i saw this pic and a comment: This is the girl why Eddie Vedder wrote "Black". Beside this pic was a topical pic from this girl. And the comment to this pic was: For this??? I think this was a little bit nasty...
So much i know wrote Eddie this song after this girl had ended the relationship to Eddie. (WTF??)
"Black" is a soliloquy by a broken-hearted man.

Who would write such nasty comment?!?? Black is a masterpiece, and if anything we should be grateful this girl was part of Eddie's life!!!

Oh god, people can be soooo nasty online. Sometimnes out of pure jealousy, I think. Personally, I think this girl is very, very pretty, she has a special glow around her and, yes, she´s sooooo lucky too!

I found this last night on youtube, different Black tags, where Eddie is singing his heart out about this person that he sings about. It´s heartbreaking listening to it, I could feel his pain, cause he gets so into it, and I remember him saying in PG 20 that he feels this (pain?) every time he sings Black, still to this day. :( :(

This is amazing Wishlisa!! It made me emotional :( how beautiful... and some of them, it made me wonder whether he is talking about some form of death, as in when he talks about her being in the starts, and says I still wonder if you're up there.... I dont quite know if its death itself, or just a major loss that feels like death? amazing stuff....

Yes, her name was Liz Gumble, and she broke our
man's heart! Story goes that once her family
went on vacation for two weeks and he wore her scarf
the entire time!! When she returned, she cut him loose,
and he was devastated! Poor guy, but HER loss!

Isn't it weird? They look like they are 14 here... How can it be so devastating at that age? I mean, you do fall in love madly, and then are devastated for two weeks and then fall in love madly again. Guess Ed has always been different.

He was 16 she was 15 if I remember right..at
Least in this pic.,i just know she was his first true love, they
met in their drama club. They broke up when Ed was
17 and she had just turned 16. Shortly after, Ed found
out a out his real Dad, and dropped out of school only
6 credits shy of graduating! Can you imagine
going through all that shit at once?!?! But he's
better man now for all of it, and I think ole' Liz
is so bitter these days cause she now sees what she
once had! Oh!! The craziest part!! The reason she
dumped him... She said he was too clingy!!!LMAO!!
Honey, that man could cling to me like Saran Wrap
and I'd be the happiest girl in the world!!!!

How do you know all this stuff?
I can so see him being clingy. And I don't mean this in a bad way.

He could cling on to me like a cat scared of cold water!!!!! :oops: how do you know all of this??

I am truly a freak of nature!! I have read from
several sources on our man over the last 20
years, between books and Google, all this
knowledge is out there! It's just taking the time
to hunt it down. Stone a d Ed are my unique
little obsessions! They are intriguing to me!

Thanks for sharing that link wishlisa.

I also think Black is about the loss of a baby...I don't think it is something you could ever get over...

Here's a link to an old article that Eddie wrote for Spin Magazine in 1992...

http://www.freewebs.com/pearljamstudy/992spinmagazinereclamati.htm

November 1992 Spin Magazine
"Ten years old. That's the age my child would have been. And I would not be here in Glasgow. I wouldn't be in this band or traveling. And I wouldn't have seen the liberal ways in which other countries we have visited deal with this issue. I wouldn't have been asked to write this piece. The fact that I've been through it on all levels is the only reason I accepted".
