My wife and I laid our only daughter, Nora Ann, to rest this morning. She was born one week ago today on Thursday, June 22, 2023 at 8:57am and passed at 10:42am the same day. I just wanted to come here to say thank you for this beautiful song that has given us comfort beyond measure at this most difficult time in our lives. As I held my daughter in our hospital room, my wife played this song and encouraged me to have our first dance as father and daughter. I will cherish that moment for the rest of my life. 🙏

When I was 13, my closest friend who was also my brother was 15. One of the sweetest memories of my childhood was of sitting on our front porch the night after hearing about Jim Morrison's death, just talking about Morrison and music in general as well as our troubled life, till the wee hours of the morning. He told me that night that he believed he and I shared a soul. I didn't understand what he meant, but I knew it was a good thing; that we had a strong mutual bond. Over the years after, we had less and less contact. He suffered from bipolar disorder and drug/alcohol addiction and I found myself in an abusive marriage followed by other tragedies. But through it all, the middle of the night phone calls from him were welcomed, as were his out of the blue letters, handwritten and rambling. I never questioned our relationship. We loved each other in a way I would not expect most people to understand. During the most difficult times, I always knew that wherever he was, my brother was there for me as my brother and my best friend. When committed suicide in 1998, the pain was unimaginable, and the person I would have shared any and all other tragedies with was also gone. I'd never felt more alone. The soul we shared had been cut in half and his half was gone. Every day I felt the entire range of emotions from grief to anger to desperation. Ten years after his death, I heard this song and it was as if my brother was telling me that though his body was gone, he was not. He would never leave me. The soul he'd "taken" was never really gone at all. In fact, he'd left his half with me. To this day, I cannot hear this song without bursting into tears, but they are now happy tears. I don't know what Vedder meant, with the lyrics but I know what they mean to me. No other music has ever touched me in this way. Thank you, Eddie.

Julie Gaskins Julie, How can I thank you?! It feels like you are talking from my soul. I live your story. My best friend left his physical body October 2019. Our bond could not be explained and it was not understood but it never mattered to either of us. His struggles, his challenges, his alcoholism, his depression, was not the sun that I saw shining from his being and soul that was so bright that it blinded and engulfed me. I miss him so much. I miss him so much it makes my heart stop and suck my breath.I miss him so very much and I I know when you read my words, you know exactly what I’m talking about. Thank you for capturing my feelings. If you ever need someone who understands, and just want to sit in silence and listen to this song, I got you. Maybe they sent us to each other...

I struggle with stress, anxiety and depression every day! Some days i cant get out of bed, but i hear music like this and it gives me the strength to get up and be the best father i can be!

I tried to make this song "our song" when it first came out. My gf really liked the song but the lyrics made her sad so we scraped that idea. I really loved the song and it reminded me of the wonderful weekend we had when we first got together. Almost thirteen years later and I'm up listening to this song trying to hold back my tears. The same gf is now my beautiful wife. We've been together ever since. And she is asleep in the other room. She's 35 and has been fighting stage 4 colon cancer for 15 months. Tomorrow will be her 29th round of chemotherapy. Such a beautiful song. I love her so much and I'm scared.

An hour after I got home from telling my Dad his wife of 50 years didn't make it through the procedure she had, I received a hysterical phone call from my friends son saying he just found his Dad dead. That day will forever be burned into my memory. I've been listening to Live's "Lightening Crashes" and this beautiful song all month. Music can been incredibly healing. Be well.

He enjoyed every genre of music and many songs would bring him to tears just because he was so easily moved by them. I miss him so much. He was such a wonderful father and grandfather who just got better with age. This song came on during my first run after he passed away. I listen to it all the time and think of him. I even try to sing it at karaoke. He would have loved it so much. I miss you daddy. I hope you’re happy wherever you are and that your afterlife is even better than this one that you loved so much. I hope he knew how much I loved him. I hope he was aware of how many people he touched and how appreciated he was I’ll meet you on the other side, Dad.

One of the most beautiful songs ever! His voice is haunting..

I love to listen to his singing. It's his voice. He could sing the phone book and it would be a hit because it would be emotional. Some artists discover songs that celebrate their voice, but for Vedder his voice discovers songs that celebrate life experiences. I know kinda mushy to say, but there is something about his voice that goes beyond singing a song. Definitely a vibration there that I simply love.

You are blessed to have experienced a love like that. I have not and many haven’t. Relish and remember.❤️

Singers with a true and natural top shelf quality only come to us every once in a while. Eddie Vedder is one of them. His talent is unmatched!

Makes me think of my mom. I listened to this song many times (in tears) right after she died. See you on the other side in Heaven mom!

Played this song at my son's funeral meet you on the other side buddy 💔

You will see him again...be patient

This song means so much to me I honestly cannot put it into words. I lost my best friend Thor, my cat and my whole world. He was my companion animal. We had to put him to rest 8/1/23 due to cancer being horrible. We took him in for a cold the day before and found out it's cancer and he is slowly suffocating. They drained his lungs so we could have 1 more day with him. It was a good day. He was himself, purring up a storm and happy. I held him and even on his last day he did nothing but comfort me as I was crying and bawling the whole time. I love him more than anything in this world. But this song does a good job of relating to how I feel. I love you and miss you Thor. I can't wait to see you again. "Meet you on the other side".

I’m so so sorry, I too lost my soul cat, my forever cat and the pain was unbearable. At the time I hadn’t heard this song, so our song was “Telephone Line” by ELO (Electric Light Orchestra), which is almost as beautiful and it’s about communication. Please listen to it.

2:25 while grieving my grandsons Suicide yrs ago this man’s concert helped me so much.

You can see the emotions just pouring out of Eddie. He's so true to himself on the stage.

Right up there with one of the most beautiful simple love songs ever!! He sings with SUCH feeling I get goosebumps & tears in my eyes. Eddy...you're the best!!

Its apparent reading the comments that this song has truly touch many people very deeply, there's no better compliment to the artist than that. He sounds every bit as good live as in the studio, wow. No fucking autotune here folks..

I'm going through terrible withdrawal and this song ALWAYS helps me to get closer to God: thank you for sharing your beautiful gifts with the rest of us 🙏❤

How are you doing with your recovery?

I really will never be able to get over the fact that Eddie Vedder is the most talented song writer.. Pearl Jam is honestly the most honest, truthful, relatable band I’ve come to listen to. I saw them twice in chicago the last time they came here (8/18/18 and 8/20/18) and I got the chills after almost every song they performed. What a remarkable group...

Most of my family is dead. My dad, all my grandparents, two brothers, the list goes on... but this song was one of my dad's favorites and it still fills me with hope.

My God. I’ve been in awe of this sound for over 30 years now.

The words in this Song are so deeply profound and Your Voice soothes my Soul♥♥ 0:42

Love this song

Eddie"s voice sends chills up my spine its hauntingly beautiful

Crazy…this was my first time seeing Pearl Jam live. Pearl Jam invited a group of Wounded Warriors from BAMC as special guest to ACL & the next night to the ACL Festival .I remember Eddie sharing his bottle of wine with us and McCready giving a guitar away to one of the wounded warriors. Pearl Jam was truly awesome and very military friendly.

I am listening to this gorgeous song. I will be saying goodbye to my daughter, Hannah tomorrow. The emotions I feel right now are so deep. Thank you for your music, Ed.

Eddie is so genuine and touching every time he plays. Brings tears to my eyes when I hear this and black

Couldnt have said it better! One of the All Time Best vocalist Ever!

From the RAGE that was PJ in the 1990’s to the beauty of this song, Eddie puts his heart on paper and allows the listener to revel in the magic. Maturity & experience are only part of PJ’s recipe for astounding success...⏳....😊.....

Could any kind of song be more beautiful and have more feeling then that??? Just beautiful. Makes my heart just fill.

This song is helping me cope with grief/ thank you for writing such a beautiful and moving song.

This was my late freinds fav band and fav performances live. They played it at his burial services. Such a beautiful song, always brings up such strong emotions of grief and sadness but I love all the same

His voice and how expresses a story is just magical. He litterally is like the best song writer we have had in many generations and he is the best one alive today. Truly beautiful.

Your soul is gorgeous sir. You have allowed me to feel things I wanted to push back. You have opened parts of my heart that I thought I'd closed for good. Thank you. 💞

I love this song, and it never fails to bring tears to my eyes. A love song about mortality. Probably the most beautiful song Pearl Jam ever did.

Please tell me how 79 people could give this a thumbs down??!!! Possibly one of the greatest and most powerful Pearl Jam songs ever.

Beautiful!!! Play her Billy Joel "Lullaby" it was my Dad's song for me. I listen to it often and think of him. And now this song as well!

His songs always seem to trigger some internal self-reflection button and I find myself thinking about the what and why's of my life. Memories that haven't visited me for years tend to float up and say hello. Although my life is difficult and the future is unclear... his melodic voice somehow speaks to my spirit and says "everything is going to be alright." I feel rested and I can breathe a little better...

Pearl Jam is my dad’s favorite band, since he first saw the music video for Alive back in 1992. This song has been something we enjoy together, and after his recent cancer diagnosis, this song means so much more. Edit: my father died. This is my song with dad, and all I can think about during this song is him. I love and miss you dad.

This song hits even harder now that he’s basically the only one left from the grunge era.

I could listen to this ALL day. Over and over and over again and again :-)

For me there are no words to describe how beautiful his voice sounds here. I can almost feel his arms around me as I listen to him

This song gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.

Real music is art at the highest possible level. This right here is an absolute masterpiece. Moves me everytime I listen. The words, the music and the rythm.

I just had to let my dog go to heaven and this is the first song that was playing on the radio. Max is already watching over from heaven.

My favorite Pearl Jam song, this song makes my heart hurt. My mom died 12 years ago, I just wish I would have been there when she took her last breath. Love you Mom.

Lost my mom after a long time of pain in the early morning Monday Dec. 28th. The pain deep within my heart hurts...but the knowing her body is free means the world. Hug your loved ones..tell those you love that you love them..and listen..listen and remember their voices. My brother shared this song but the Willie Nelson version...all the same.

Music heals the soul. The melody and words transcend all the emotions and make you feel alive 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I sob every time I hear this song. This has such a deep connection between me and my daughter. Thank you PJ for such a beautiful soulful song.

I have 2 clear memories of hearing this song. Once, at a friend's house after we had dinner. I remember how moved I was by it. The other was when I sang it to my mother on her death bed. I could only sing through the tears and my breaking voice. I can't listen to it now without crying. So beautiful and so true. Thank you Eddie for giving us a song that is so full of the right kind of love.

I was here at this amazing performance. Grateful.

Hello Matti Kyle, Thank you for your love, and support all these years, it's been a wonderful feeling performing for my fans around the world. I rarely comment on my KZread pages but I was attracted by the emotions in your comment. I feel truly honored whenever I see someone truly appreciate our songs . I hope this song brings you good memories, and peace. If I may ask, how many years have you been a fan, and where are you streaming from?

Pearl Jam fan since lollapalooza 91. Lost my husband a year ago. I listen to this song every morning and it comforts me. Thanks Guys. Love from Cape Cod

Vedder's vocals are up there with the greats, just had the pleasure to hear him at Jazzfest, UNREAL!

This song holds special meaning for me. It came out when my husband was diagnosed with cancer. Through the years of his battle we listened to it often and were remind of the important things in life.. I held him til he died and can't wait to see him on the otherside 💔

Jesus, these grunge guys, alive and gone, really proved their genius musicianship in their next act. I stand thoroughly impressed.
