    YES!! Anytime one of my kids gets hurt or sad and cries, I hold her and sing, "It's ok, it's ok... you know I love you anyway..."
    I really screwed that up. I really Schruted it.

    awesome version from jones beach! i somehow figured out how to capture a still shot from the dvd and have a picture of ed's silhouette on the back drop with the green lighting, while he was bouncing up and down, tacked up at my desk. Great way to help you through one of those crazy and out of control days.

    Eddie makes the song sound so much better, even though he is reading the lyrics from a piece of paper!!! Great Improvisation. Eddie is a real entertainer.

    This song elevates my spirit every time I hear it...the Touring Band version is so cool...I was expecting this one to be played with all the lyrics in the argentinian`s shows, but eddie chose to make improvisation with it...anyway, it´s ok...:D

    When I saw the video of Pearl Jam doing that song in Spanish in Mexico (?)my already high respect for the band just skyrocketed. It makes good sense to speak/sing the language of the country you are in, but, you know what, it's just plain ol' nice. That really affected me when I saw that video more than any other Pearl Jam video/movie. It affected me almost as much as ARC always does. How incredibly beautiful! How incredibly incredibly beautiful!

    i've always loved it's okay, the way Eddie sings it is so soothing. But i've always wondered how the original sounds.

    Yeah I keep meaning to find the original and listen to it. Someone posted on here that it's supposed to be quite good.

    Unbelievable song! I've got the Va. Beach, Jones Beach, and DC 2000 shows w/ the full version. Does anyone know where I can find the TB2K show? Also, have they played the entire version (not just a couple of lines) at any other shows? Thanks
  • pickupyourwillpickupyourwill Posts: 3,135
    :)


    It's okay, we've all seen better days
    It's okay, you don't have to run and hide away
    It's okay
    It's okay, yeah we love you anyway
    For in those reckless moments
    When doubt is creeping in your head
    Feeling like you've lost your youth
    And the dreams you had are cold and dead
    I can't reach you anymore
    That's gonna take a different man
    I can't protect you like before
    You've slipped beyond my hands
    But it's okay.......

    I wish that I could light the path
    That leads to a life of no mistakes
    Hold you from the damned be done
    That living out of safety seems to take
    I remember still the child in you
    As if only yesterday
    It was easy to break through
    I only had to kiss the pain
    But it's okay.......

    This is my chance, this is my life
    And my opening hour
    This is my choice, this is my voice
    There may be no tomorrow
    This is my plea, this is my need
    This is my time for standing free
    This is my step, this is my depth
    In a world demanding of me
    But is's okay.......

    I can't remember off the top of my head which show the TB2K version was from. No doubt I'll watch it again very soon :D

    I think the TB2k version is from the Jones Beach,NY 8-24-2000. I can upload the Jones Beach or VA Beach version if you guys want it. I'd love to get my hands on the DC version if anyone would be kind enough to share. I'm really liking the 05 spanish versions too. Great tag.

    Freakin' INCREDIBLE!!!....If it was a real Pearl Jam Song, It would be my favorite by a longshot. Nothing, no drug, song, or anything else can alter my mood like the Daughter/it's OK (Live @ Jones Beach, NY) combo. I listen to it at least once a day, every day, and have for years. It can take me from near suicidal to smiling.

    ----P.s. If They play it at Chicago on 5/17/06, I'll be the guy with tears streaming down his face. Don't worry about me, I'm Ok.
    ...so i'll just lie alone and wait for the dream, where i'm not ugly and you're looking at me...

    No, it's not. Its practically unlistenable. If you can find it, it's worth a listen just so you can awe at the power PJ has of turning a shitty song into an incredible song.
