"Say nighty-night and kiss me;
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me.
While I'm alone, blue as can be,
Dream a little dream of me."
This a song from the well known singer, Eddie Vedder and it was premiered during is solo tour.
I got a phone call from a friend, from Spain. I couldn't pick up the phone because I was recording the guitar part. I had written half the song's lyrics. When I checked his message, he had said something that enabled me to write the second verse, and in 20 minutes, it was done. That's how it happened on this record. It was writing the quick ones – there was no room for the other stuff. We'll see how long approaching it like this goes. But it's the right way for us to do it right now.
I heard this song in the begining of this week and thought about sharing it with you.
But then I realize that I could included it on my '1 per week'. But why?
Ok, first it's live. Second and most of all Eddie Vedder singed it with so much emotion. It's unbelievable. I don't know Pearl Jam's work very much but I didn't realize Eddie was able to do such songs.
Really really good.
Those many years ago?
What were all those plans we made
Now left beside the road?
Behind us in the road
More than friends I always pledged
Cause friends they come and go
People change as does everything I wanted to grow old
