Nobody's smile beats that. :passingoutsmiley: should be seen over and over and over
I absolutely love this scene from Water on the Road! I just watched it (more than once :oops: ) on the weekend and definitely had to rewind this part a few times...along with the part where he was chopping the coconut before singing Unthought Known (hello arms!!!)
His smile is just so natural and genuine...it always makes me smile!!!

AGREED! His smile is such a beautiful, beautiful thing to see . . . he's so bloody special. I often wonder about his unique brand of magic, and why it was given to him, i.e. there is something about Eddie Vedder that is just inherently paternal, and giving. Does everyone else feel the same? Like there is just something about this man that makes each and every one of us feel like he UNDERSTANDS us. He somehow makes us all feel like we have this unique relationship with him, and that he'd catch us if we fell . . . that's his magic I think. It's this ability to make people feel loved, and cared for. It comes through in his voice. It's a very very special gift.
I was actually talking to my friend Tom at the library yesterday about Eddie (Tom is a lovely musician who likes EV and PJ and will listen to me rant on now and then), and about all of us, and how we're all SO OBSESSED with Eddie and Pearl Jam, and I was talking about how I love my PJ freaks, and how we've even started a facebook group etc . . . And this lovely guy was like 'but they're only internet friends right? You wouldn't hang out with them in real life?' and I was like what are you talking about Tom?!!! OF COURSE I would hang out with them in real life!!! We might all be big dags who are infatuated with strangers, but these are my types of people! And he was like why?
And so I talked about EV's magical quality, and how he's this caring, strong, sensual, empathetic man, how he has this huge heart that he wears on his sleeve the whole time, and how the people that are attracted to that are obviously going to be people I like! And we talked about how maybe a few of us that are so attracted to EV and PJ might have had absent, or abusive, or innappropriate, or just downright shite fathers. And we talked about how people that are totally obsessed with things, are often hiding a little bit within those things, because the world outside has done something to hurt them, or is too difficult for them to stomach. So I was like OF COURSE these are my types of people Tom, these are interesting, emotional, compassionate and hopeful people like me, who are searching for something, who are attracted to Pearl Jam because they're good empathetic men and it comes through in their music.
And then he was like 'yeah, Eddie does have this air of the savior about him!' which I thought was very observant . . . and then he said, 'well I suppose it also helps that he's hot' and I was like 'true, it probably helps that he's one of the most beautiful looking men of our time . . . but if had someone else's personality, he wouldn't be as attractive to all of us - we wouldn't be obsessed!!!' . . . And I reckon he got it . . . I think he understands us
Ultimately EV is just a dude, just a talented, empathetic, attractive man, but somehow woven into his DNA (or his consciousness) is this magical quality, this ability to make us all feel understood and cared for, that I think is probably one of the main factors of Pearl Jam's success.
And it's not something he tries at! It's not deliberate. It's just part of who he is. And it is such a beautiful thing. He somehow makes us all feel like we have a special connection with him. And because of that, we now have a special connection with eachother.
So to all my EV-addict Pearl Jam freaks, I just want to say that I love you all dearly, and I would DEFS hang with you in the real world, and I hope you would hang with me too!!!
I honestly think we're all wonderful for loving such a beautiful, caring, empathetic man. It gives me faith in humanity.

My thought process... As inspired by these pics!!
AGREED! His smile is such a beautiful, beautiful thing to see . . . he's so bloody special. I often wonder about his unique brand of magic, and why it was given to him, i.e. there is something about Eddie Vedder that is just inherently paternal, and giving. Does everyone else feel the same? Like there is just something about this man that makes each and every one of us feel like he UNDERSTANDS us. He somehow makes us all feel like we have this unique relationship with him, and that he'd catch us if we fell . . . that's his magic I think. It's this ability to make people feel loved, and cared for. It comes through in his voice. It's a very very special gift.
I was actually talking to my friend Tom at the library yesterday about Eddie (Tom is a lovely musician who likes EV and PJ and will listen to me rant on now and then), and about all of us, and how we're all SO OBSESSED with Eddie and Pearl Jam, and I was talking about how I love my PJ freaks, and how we've even started a facebook group etc . . . And this lovely guy was like 'but they're only internet friends right? You wouldn't hang out with them in real life?' and I was like what are you talking about Tom?!!! OF COURSE I would hang out with them in real life!!! We might all be big dags who are infatuated with strangers, but these are my types of people! And he was like why?
And so I talked about EV's magical quality, and how he's this caring, strong, sensual, empathetic man, how he has this huge heart that he wears on his sleeve the whole time, and how the people that are attracted to that are obviously going to be people I like! And we talked about how maybe a few of us that are so attracted to EV and PJ might have had absent, or abusive, or innappropriate, or just downright shite fathers. And we talked about how people that are totally obsessed with things, are often hiding a little bit within those things, because the world outside has done something to hurt them, or is too difficult for them to stomach. So I was like OF COURSE these are my types of people Tom, these are interesting, emotional, compassionate and hopeful people like me, who are searching for something, who are attracted to Pearl Jam because they're good empathetic men and it comes through in their music.
And then he was like 'yeah, Eddie does have this air of the savior about him!' which I thought was very observant . . . and then he said, 'well I suppose it also helps that he's hot' and I was like 'true, it probably helps that he's one of the most beautiful looking men of our time . . . but if had someone else's personality, he wouldn't be as attractive to all of us - we wouldn't be obsessed!!!' . . . And I reckon he got it . . . I think he understands us
Ultimately EV is just a dude, just a talented, empathetic, attractive man, but somehow woven into his DNA (or his consciousness) is this magical quality, this ability to make us all feel understood and cared for, that I think is probably one of the main factors of Pearl Jam's success.
And it's not something he tries at! It's not deliberate. It's just part of who he is. And it is such a beautiful thing. He somehow makes us all feel like we have a special connection with him. And because of that, we now have a special connection with eachother.

I honestly think we're all wonderful for loving such a beautiful, caring, empathetic man. It gives me faith in humanity.
