the only place I have heard this is on the Eddie Vedder myspace page, is there another place where I can find it or download it? It really is such a moving song.
"Oh dear dad, can you see me now? I am myself, like you somehow."
There is a title for this song and its called "be sound"
Heres the lyrics:
BE SOUND
She said to me over the phone
She wanted to see other people
I thought, "Well, then... look around...they're everywhere."
She said that she was confused...
I thought, "Darling, 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
At least it happened quick
I swear...I died inside...that night.
My friend, he 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 seem so big?
So big...
While 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 undertow and pulled out deep.
And there i am, standing
wet grass and white headstones all in rows
and in the distance there's one, off on its 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 til the ice hits my lip
order another round...
And that's it for now, sorry.
Never been too good at happy endings...
If you wanna just listen to it you should check it out under myspace music. Keyword ed or eddie vedder. It's so deep
Ok can I get a Pm as well....Went through a divorce last year and after reading those lyrics, it was so powerful. I can relate. Would love to hear it. Could somebody hook me up? thanks
"I want to go...but I don't want to go alone...With you I could never feel alone..."
Thanks for the lyrics...you must not have seen them posted in the header post of this very thread.
Also, this song is most definitely untitled and has never been acknowledged by the band to get a title. You calling it "Be Sound" is just as inaccurate as everyone else calling it "I'm Still Here." Both are fan dubbed tittles.
I used to have this on my Myspace page, but the Eddie "imposter" who was hosting it had his page deleted I guess, and so it is gone. Too bad, I never got tired of listening to that sexy deep voice. That guy had some good tunes on his page...I miss him.
That's not true. It was never released anywhere in the world. it lives as only an internet leak that was never supposed to get out. It was falsley labeled as Japanese Promo when it leaked...but that was just to throw people off....it was never released anywhere in the world.
You said it better than I ever could ... this song is truly, utterly perfect. I listen to it almost every night before I got to sleep. It is one of those songs that does something to you, makes you feel things so strongly. "I'm Still Here" will probably be my next tattoo. Good motto to live by.

"With my own two hands I can change the world."
"midlife crisis hits you when you're young", soooooo chilling.
the entire song is chilling, the guitar setup is perfect for the song, and the bass hits at the right time.

That's not even what he says. If that was my song and you were misquoting it, I'd beat you with a garden hose.

Esther's here and she's sick?
