everyone should definitely check this out. a documentary about a soldier wounded in iraq that has become a an anti-war activist. it looks really good. not to mention the music is done by Mr. Vedder


the trailer is good, the interview with ed is good, and of course the song is amazing! it's pretty powerful when playing behind that trailer.

    Yeah man, the song fits very professionally. It's been taken to an entirely new level in my eyes. Well done.

    Looks like one of those throat tightening kind of documentaries.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Well it does say, "Original Songs by Eddie Vedder". I think it's safe to assume that there is more EV songs on there, like the one the soldier mentioned that really hit home to him, which I believe is call "The Long Night".

    bump becuase i cannot wait to see this, and hear THE MAN break it down with a guitar and his voice
  • ...thanks for bringing it to the moving train.

    Saw a similar thread around the Porch, but either way, my ol' PC is not able to catch any video or sound...

    ..but I read the lyrics called "no More War" and I assume they belong to the new song.
    and I am very happy right now that someone spoke out so clearly.

    ahh, finally a reflection of my opinion and many's around here....
    ...I hope we can hear it soon here in Europe, too.
    there is no way to peace, peace is the way!
    ...the world is come undone, I like to change it everyday but change don't come at once, it's a wave, building before it breaks.

    - A Conversation with Eddie Vedder & Tomas Young

    Body of War
    a film by Ellen Spiro and Phil Donahue
    original songs by Eddie Vedder
    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

    Yes, there is one more. It's called "Long Nights".

    "...Eddie Vedder, of Pearl Jam, contributes two original songs to Body of War. He talked to Tomas at length by phone as he prepared to compose the songs, "No More," and "Long Nights."
    http://www.bodyofwar.com/synopsis.php

    "It was important to us that Body of War be cross-generational. Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam) volunteered to write two original songs which capture the two threads of the film perfectly. LONG NIGHTS reveals the inner life of Tomas Young when he's not sure he can make it through another day. NO MORE speaks to the political reality of this war, and is certain to become the most powerful anti-war anthem of the 21st century." Ellen Spiro

    It's growing up just like me.
