Ed references this in the new Rolling Stone article, saying that Roger Daltrey always says it to him.

OT: Does anyone know where I can obtain this recording? Is it spoken work, vocals, or a full blown song?

The Daltry quote is "be lucky." Nevertheless, great song.

What Daltrey says to Eddie is "Be Lucky"

I have seen this twice over the last few years, but never heard it. Would like to.

Don't know you from Adam. Don't want to. Just wanted to say - don't waste your time and your thoughts to that degree. Did you have children with your topic? Did you spend, oh I don't know, we'll throw out, more than five full adult years with this person? Most people just aren't worth it - you either had it for each other or you did not. If you did not there is ALWAYS someone else in the wings. Pearl Jam has beautiful, poetic lyrics however they did not get into the business to answer our relationship questions. They had questions of their own. We were only privy to their observations. At the end of the day we all only have observations. Work out what works for you.

I just wanted to make a thread for this mysterious song. I am listening to it right now and it is just one of thee most moving pieces Ed has ever written, IMO.

She said to me, over the phone
She wanted to see other people
I thought, well then
Look around, they’re everywhere
Said that she was confused
I thought, darlin’, join the club
24 years old, mid-life crisis
Nowadays hits you when you’re young
I hung up, she called back, I hung up again
The process had already started
Least it happened quick
I swear I died inside that night
A friend, he’d called, I didn’t mention a thing
The last thing he said was “be sound”, sound
I contemplated an awful thing, I hate to admit
I just thought those would be such appropriate last words
But, I’m still here, and small
So small, how could this trouble seam so big
So big
Well the palms in the breeze still blow green
And the waves in the sea still absolute blue
But the horror
Every single thing I see is a reminder of her
Never thought I’d curse the day I met her
And since she’s gone, and wouldn’t hear
Who would care
What good would that do
But I’m still here
So I imagine in a month or 12
I’ll be somewhere having a drink
Laughing at a stupid joke
Or just another stupid thing
And I can see myself stopping short
Drifting out of the present
Sucked by the under tow and pulled out deep
And there I am standing
Wet grass and white head stones, all in rows
And in the distance there’s one off on it’s own
So I stop, kneel
My new home
And I picture a sober awakening
A re-entry into this little bar scene
Sip my drink till the ice hits my lip
Order another round
And that’s it for now
Sorry, never been too good at happy endings

It truly should have been released......

Where is this song to be found?

Randy420

this is a great song. I have it somewhere.

If I remember right it was on an international release..

While you're figuring out where it is, why don't you stop by the "What Song is What Food" thread so it can reach 2000 views. Wouldn't that be cute

WindNoSail

bump!

Been listening off and on for a week or so. This is a great song. Be sound.

I'm still here, and so small.

Can anyone tell me where I can find that song?

vedderfan10

Could this be about breaking up with Beth earlier on - like before they got married? Don't know how old this song is...Maybe they separated and then got back together again, only to divorce later? Been known to happen. Just a thought....
