The entire with grunge is that it evolves around unhealthy emotional places in people. It makes for some beautiful music, but trying to live it is apparently a very difficult life if you look at the amount of deaths among its players. The highs and lows are so far apart with not enough just being content. Getting to wrapped up in your own feelings isn't the place we need to live.

Even after all these years, whenever Eddie performs this song, you can still hear the sadness in his voice.

Ten was one the perfect albums. There's not a bad song on it. Most albums have half bad and half good. If that.

When I was in my twenties living in Seattle in the 1990's I saw a lot of these bands coming up and Pearl Jam was always my favorite. I worried constantly that Eddie wouldn't survive. He seemed so tortured and when performing live he took crazy chances climbing all over the stage. And heroin was a real issue everywhere at that time. Yet here we are 30 years later and the band is still intact and strong, but pretty much all of the other groups have suffered horrible losses. To this day, Ten is still my favorite album. It is brilliant work from start to finish.

Dude, Vin’s mind got blown so hard he broke and became speechless. Had to cut to let him recover. 😂 That’s fucking awesome. I seriously believe Vin hit the nail on the head with his interpretation of this song. I had never thought of the song that way before. Damn man. Vin you just singlehandedly put this song on a whole other level. I’m fucking addicted to these kinds of videos now. For me, I’ve been listening to a lot of these songs since I think my freshman year of high school. Always knowing these bands where on another level compared to a lot of other music whether it be from the time period in which the bands formed and became big, or music today. So when I see people hearing it for the first time ever in most cases it makes me happy ‘cause I was them at one point. Never having heard it before, but once I did I never wanted to UNhear it. Just being blown away as a teenager not fully grasping all the ideas within. Not just the lyrics but the musical arrangement as well. However, now I can full grasp those ideas being an adult and it makes the songs just that much better. Again, these videos make me really happy.

It’s so refreshing to see finally see a reaction that appreciates how timeless and insanely amazing this song and performance is. Thank youuuuuu

I guess death metal was a way to make me feel like I was a tough guy because it helped me escape the troubles of my adolescence years. Now I'm older and I listen to everything different, including Pearl Jam which I didn't pay attention to in the past. Reason why I overlooked his lyrics. I just didn't pay attention til now.

I JUST BECAME A FAN OF PEARL JAM AFTER THIS REVIEW. I WAS IN 1ST GRADE WHEN THIS SONG CAME OUT. I DIDNT LIKE PEARL JAM GROWING UP. I'M ASHAMED TO SAY IT NOW. I'M MARRIED NOW TO A WOMAN WHO LOST HER DAUGHTER AT AGE 7. ABOUT 10 YEARS BEFORE I MEET HER. I CAN'T FULLY COMPREHEND HER PAIN. BECAUSE I'VE NEVER LOST A CHILD. I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS ONE OF THE MOST PAINFUL AND DIFFICULT THINGS TO DEAL WITH. "ALL I TAUGHT HER WAS EVERYTHING". MADE ME THINK OF HOW YOUR CHILD IS TAUGHT EVERTHING BY THEIR PARENTS. "ALL I'LL BE" BRINGS ME TO HOW YOUR LEGACY LIVES ON THROUGH YOUR OFFSPRING. SEEING CHILDREN PLAYING AND FEELING THEIR LAUGHTER. BUT FEELING SEARED. TODAY WAS THE FIRST TIME I ACTUALLY LISTENED TO THE WORDS AND MEANING OF THE SONG. I CRIED TO THINK OF HOW MUCH PAIN SHE FELT THEN AND STILL ON GOING TODAY. I WISH I COULD TAKE THAT PAIN FROM HER AND MAKE IT DISAPPEAR. THANK YOU VIN AND SORI FOR REVIEWING THIS SONG. THANKYOU PEARL JAM FOR THIS PERFORMANCE. THANKYOU EDDIE VEDDER FOR THE LYRICS, AND EMOTIONAL PERFORMANCE. YOU HAVE BROUGHT ME A LITTLE CLOSER TO MY WIFE. IN A WAY I'M GLAD THAT I JUST NOW UNDERSTOOD THIS SONG LATER IN MY LIFE. BECAUSE I THINK IT HAS A DEEPER MEANING TO ME NOW.

All I know is I'm glad Eddie fell in love again and moved past the woman who tore his heart apart in his 20's. He's been married since 2010 and they appear very happy. This performance is absolutely gut wrenching because you can literally feel his pain. I just watched him sing this song from a Summer 2022 concert and his voice is still amazing!

Thank you so much for reviewing this version of 'Black'. This song stuck with me for the last 26 years. And even as a little German teen back then with little knowledge of the English language I could feel the pain and relate to that song. It's the song I always come back to when life is giving me rough times and I guess that's the way it's always going to be. Inmho Pearl Jam is and always was an unpretentious down to earth band. You could fill books with the amazing things they did over the last decades. I'm never up for idolizing people, but Eddie and PJ might be the only exception I'd ever make. Just love these guys. If you want to do another PJ live performance I'd recommend 'Porch' of the Pinkpop festival back in 1992. It's just epic. Of course they grew up and calmed down over the years (they're all in their mid 50ies now), but they're still one of the greatest live rock bands existing out there. Other songs I'd recommend are 'Sirens', 'Sad' and 'Come back'. Only to name a few. Just explore their catalouge, you won't be disappointed. Greetings from Germany! :)

"we belong together"- that line wasn't there in the album version (Ten)

One of if not the most powerful and poetic lost love songs of all time and a fantastic performance. The line "all I taught her was everything...I know she gave me all that she wore" was always to me a line about relationship dynamics. Men generally have a hard time opening up emotionally and sharing thoughts and feelings. Women generally are slower to connect physically. That he had "taught her everything" (talked and shared everything) and she had "given all she wore" (been naked with him) says to me they were both commited at a deep level. Fantastic song. Thanks for sharing!

Overlooking the "I"m spinnin, ohohoh, I'm spinin,... As the Earth to the Sun.

Their best song. So good. So soulful. So emotional. This is what grunge was all about. Exposing pain and depression. Chris Cornell, Eddie Vedder, Layne Staley... putting their emotions on the table for all to see. Tapping into frustrations that resonated. They were raw. And when you feel emotion that deeply it's no surprise that Eddie is the last man standing. It's sad. But by far my favorite time in music. Wish there was more of it. I agree with everyone suggesting Alice in Chains - Nutshell Unplugged. Very chilling performance considering the state Layne was in when it was recorded. Like we were watching him die on stage really, and his voice still pierced through.

Ten is definitely their best work. After that they went more off in a Neil Young direction and I think they wanted to distance themselves from the grunge labels. Still have bits and pieces that I’ve enjoyed off most of their albums. But Ten was definitely special. Not a skippable song on the whole thing.

Eddie Vedder is a special talent. He is alive and well, married in 2010, has two daughters, and he is as passionate as ever. Pearl Jam still tours every summer - they generally only do 6-10 shows a year in select markets - usually Chicago, Boston, Seattle. Their concerts are some of the best in the industry (imo) - they always change up their setlists, do a lot of one-off covers, have multiple unique art/prints/shirts for each show, play 3 hour+ shows. Pearl Jam band name. Eddie's "cool" great-grandmother (also my great-grandmother :-p) first name was Pearl and the band was named after her. The "story" is she married a Native American and made peyote jam and that is where the second part of the name comes from

i'm brazilian and this was the best react i ever watched from this song

You should do 'Release' from Pearl Jam. It is very emotional. The song is about Eddie Vedders fathers death. He also did not know his father from my understanding. I never knew my father as well, so the emotion in the song is trememdous.

the version from mystery white boy always blows my mind, the crescendo is absolutely bonkers. his cover of "the way young lovers do" too.

One of the BEST WRITTEN AND PREFORMED songs ever. The best touring band that's STILL TOURING, RECORDING AND GIVING THEIR ALL TO THEIR FANS.

Man... Love this song... Pearl Jam, Eddie Vedder are just the best, Black is a song that can bring me to tears, it's powerful, deep, painful, it's full of sentiment, it comes from the deeps of his soul and it touches every single one of us! Thank you for your video and your analyses

You can basically close your eyes and pick any random Pearl Jam song and you'll find, in varying levels, something of greatness. Not all their songs were 'hits' but they are all worth listening to at least once. And, the band is still together. Still making music. Still friends.

ZeroNeuro Studios the last band standing from what was in my opinion the greatest era for rock in the states, I know STP and AIC are still together but no band is ever the same once the lead singer goes. PJ is probably my favourite band of all time, and I agree all their songs are worth at least one listen.

Alice In Chains-Nutshell unplugged

“She gave me all that she wore” refers to the fact that when “she” left him, “she” left all of her belongings behind and that’s all he had left of her...

Wow! This has to be one of the most intelligent, insightful and best analytical reactions and breakdown of lyrics of any reactions on YT. Well done. 🙌🙌🙌

5 horizons = the 5 senses.

“Pearl”: it’s surfer slang for submerging the nose of your board, (The band came up with “Pearl” at a brainstorming session in a Seattle restaurant; the “Jam” got added after a 1991 trip to New York City that included a Neil Young concert where many of his songs became extended jams.)

You simply can't watch the reactions of others when Eddie's beautiful face is onscreen... *Release* is another fantastic PJ song.

Black is one of my All time faves..and I loved eddie's raw emotions in this song...brings a lot out of this song. Just hits the Spot

One more vote for Alice In Chains unplugged “Nutshell”, please

React to their song Release about Vedder finding out as a teen that his stepdad wasn't his real dad.

I absolutely love the way you guys dissect these songs! The analogies you bring up I have either said or it's a totally different aspect than what I was originally thinking of.

Your assessment of "high octane" relationships was spot on, man. I finally experienced one for myself this summer. 3 months of the most intense stuff I've ever been exposed to. And, in the end....she walked just as suddenly as she had dove in with me. Now, im here....washed in black 😞😞😞

I love your reaction at the end of the song when you look at each other and feel that you just went through some heavy shit!

"It's about first relationships and letting go. It's very rare for a relationship to withstand the Earth's gravitational pull and where it's going to take people and how they're going to grow. I've heard it said that you can't really have a true love unless it was a love unrequited. It's a harsh one, because then your truest one is the one you can't have forever.” -Eddie Vedder

...and she's going to be a star...in someone else's sky. Damn.

By some reason is considered the best unplugged ever. A show that all the greats do, starting with Paul MacCartney, and from Eric Clapton to Bob Dylan all do it. But the Nirvana unplugged... Only the Clapton one had a similar emotional charge, But the Nirvana one blew everyone. In that night Kurt went from a rock star of the moment to a legendary icon

Please watch any of his live shows, the rest of this whole show you will love. He sings like this with every song.. he is still touring in filling stadiums

I believe “all 5 horizons revolved around her soul” is referring to his 5 senses (sight, sound, smell, touch, taste), or the entirety of his experience of his external world. Meaning, she was his everything.

Thank you for reviewing this song, my adsolute very favorite song and the absolute anthem of my life since the day I heard it. I was in high school, my friend bought the CD the day it came out. We listened to it on our "cd man". The next day, I skipped school and took a bus to the store and bought it... This is my second favorite version of it... There is one other live one not unplugged (pink pop 1992), it goes on for about 10 minutes, but doesn't feel like it... You can see tears in Eddie's eyes and also the eyes of many in the audience... Thanks again. Hail from Seattle.

I saw them live around this same time. He sang just as intensely. Eddie has said its about first love relationship that begins w hope n all. I always guessed he meant her sexually n emotionally when you first desire someone n put your hopes for who they are on them. Taught her everything I thought how she might’ve been younger more naive n he showed her life she wouldn’t have known. Their “ true love” flames out- for her why it sears him. He sees her in everything. Kids laughing bother him as happiness then isn’t option. She leaves before he’s near ready to release their love. His world is black. 5 to be was five senses. Felt it in every part of himself. Then feeling of sorrow n anguish n anger when it ends before he’s grown as well. She’s grown away from him. So he laments not being w her like they were coupled w jealousy of her being w another. Young crazy love. I requested as well way back so thank you.

I absolutely love you two breaking songs down together ❤ you really broke this down on a personal level 💔. Correct analysis on pain and suffering creating some of the most beautiful and classic pieces of art

God I love you 2. I've watched about 300 reaction channels, and I've never seen anything even close to comparable to what yall do here. Thank you.

Check out Pearl Jam - Release (live '92) for some more emotional Eddie Vedder. Best live performance Ever! Nirvava - Where did you sleep last night (unplugged) is another great one.

Great review. The key to the the first 2 lines is when he said He taught her everything. He loved her shaped her molded her. He made her his world. She gave him all that she wore refers to the flesh. She didnt give her soul as he did. The 5 senses are the horizons. She was his sun. As the line when he says how quick the sun can fall away. No sun equals no light equals black. I love your analysis. I'm a forty five year old brother . And I remember hearing this for the first time in 92. Its by far my favorite pearl jam song. Great video again . Subscribed

BLACK is my favorite Pearl Jam song also. Your analysis on this song is very good.

“She gave me all that she wore” could be like he dedicated his entire life to her while all she did was give him the clothes she wore, something very superficial unlike how he gave his entire being to her. Also, the five horizons could be interpreted as the five senses again saying how his entire life, revolved around her and what she did.

I love black it's my favorite pearl jam song but nutshell hits me so much harder for instance. And songs like man in the box or rooster also have a deep meaning. But i really just meant Layne had the best voice, Cornell could go hit really high notes too but the power of Layne when he was healthy (for example, the performance at the Moore in 1990) was just ridiculous.
