Music - Eddie Vedder - Long Road plus Better Days

My two current favorite songs...both by Eddie Vedder.  It's not always that you can find modern music that affects one so.  *sigh*  Reposting both from youtube.

Like one of the youtube comments stated, I heard Pearl Jam music back in university but have only now started to "really appreciate the artistic genius and sheer awesomeness of Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam".

Eddie Vedder certainly is an artist and poet.  Hehe!  Having Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan collaborate on this version of The Long Road is a bonus too.  

I'm glad to have come across these two songs. Thanks to youtube and the film Eat, Pray, Love (a movie I was expecting to hate but ended up liking much after reading the book then seeing the film..) Lol.

The Long Road by Eddie Vedder (with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan)

And I wished for so long?

I cannot stay

Oh, the precious moments...

Cannot stay

It's not like wings have fallen...

I cannot stay

Without you something's missing...

I cannot stay



We all walk the long road

There's no need to say goodbye

All the friends and family

All the memories going round

Round, round, round...

I have wished for so long...

How I wish for you again



We all walk the long road

Cannot stay

There's no need to say goodbye

All the friends and family

All the memories going round

Round, round, round...



I have wished for so long ...

How I wish for you again

How I wished for so long...

How I wish for you today



Will I walk the long road? (3x)

Better Days

I feel part of the universe open up to meet me

My emotion so submerged, broken down to kneel in

Once listening, the voices they came

Had to somehow greet myself, read myself

Heard vibrations within my cells, in my cells

Singing, "Ah-la-ah-ah, ah-la-ah-ah"

My love is safe for the universe

See me now, I'm bursting

On one planet, so many turns

Different worlds

Singing, "Ah-la-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah"

(Spanish guitar solo)

Fill my heart with discipline

Put there for the teaching

In my head see clouds of stairs

Help me as I'm reaching

The future's paved with better days

Not running from something

I'm running towards the day

Wide awake

A whisper once quiet

Now rising to a scream

Right in me

I'm falling, free falling

Words calling me

Up off my knees

I'm soaring and, darling,

You'll be the one that I can need

Still be free

Our future's paved with better days
