Totally underrated song. Genius

All the thoughts you never see You are always thinking Brain is wide, the brain is deep Oh, are you sinking? Feel the path of every day Which road you taking? Breathing hard, making hay Yeah, this is living Look for love in evidence That you're worth keeping Swallowed whole in negatives It's so sad and sickening Feel the air up above Oh, pool of blue sky Fill the air up with love All black with starlight Feel the sky blanket you With gems and rhinestones See the path cut by the moon For you to walk on For you to walk on Nothing left, nothing left Nothing there, nothing here Nothing left, nothing left Nothing there, nothing left Nothing left, nothing left Nothing there, nothing here See the path cut by the moon For you to walk on See the waves on distant shores Awaiting your arrival Dream the dreams of other men You'll be no one's rival Dream the dreams of others then You will be no one's rival You will be no one's rival A distant time, a distant space That's where we're living A distant time, a distant place So what ya giving? What ya giving? Source: Musixmatch

This is a VERY underrated song by them. Glad I got to hear it live twice.

"See the path cut by the moon For you to walk on...." Incredible and so real... I am grateful for this song.

How is this song so underrated?!? This is one of the best songs I've heard in my short years of living!

Only 3 milions views for such a masterpiece... The vocal melodies Eddie creates are very often incredible, so amazing!

Whenever I walk through our local forest, it's this song that comes to my mind first ... earth, soil, that living scent of the forest after heavy rain, blue sky, wonderful mountainhigh clouds. One word: life. Pearl Jam. Thank you.

A hymn for "Fuck, whatever happens, stand up! Life is worth living every second!"

I can't get over how amazing a video this is with no involvement from the band. Best band ever, best fan base ever. This video actually enhances the song. Just incredible. Been coming back to it time and again for a decade now. When he starts conducting the waves, my God. Society might deny you a place within it, but everyone has a place in the world and the beauty of creation is there for all of us.

I dedicated this song to my son over 15 years ago? Well, he just sent me the link to this video! Made my day! This song is a masterpiece! And I absolutely love, love, love this video!! Thank you for creating it!

After 20 years Pearl Jam can still write songs like this that throw me against a wall and give me an adrenaline rush. I can't believe it's been 20 years since I first heard Jeremy on my car radio. Keep it up gentleman, you are unique and your gift is needed now more than ever.

Pearl Jam is love, Pearl Jam is life

Be safe and keep refuge.

unica vera rock band ancora attiva oggi...longevi ed ancora con testi e musiche da maestri... grandi PJ!

One of the best songs of the best band in the world

I've been listing to this song since I was like 7. Now I'm a tween and I clicked on it and actually started crying. 😂happy and sad. Every time I think of this song I think of my old house in the city!

When I am feeling weighed down, stagnant, and frustrated, this song never fails to remind me to take a step back and see my life in broader terms. Reminds me to put my focus and energy into things that really matter. Experiencing this life, the journey, the enlightenment, loving unconditionally... these things matter. Making money, paying bills, owning things, status... these things in the end, do not matter.

Great song... Amazing video...

I lost count of how many times this song has saved me. File under "Pearl Jam's response to what a really uplifting song should be".

Eddie's voices speaks to every thing!

what a beautiful vibe this song has inside..i love it.

I was born into a decade where pop is taking over and my dad and I are really sick of it so all we do is listen to Pearl Jam in the car. This is easily my favorite song of all time but the rest of Pearl Jam's songs are just amazing and really speak to me!

“Feel the sky blanket you with gems and rhinestones” and then “see the path cut by the moon” is in my opinion such wonderfully expressed life.

Pearl Jam is my favorite band of all time.... and whoever did this did a HELL of a good job!! One of the best unofficial music videos I've ever seen. Kudos :)

This interpretation of one of my favorite Pearl Jam songs is magical. I listened to Backspacer on repeat as I traveled to visit my brother in hospital, late September to early October 2009. The tattoo on my right arm is an interpretation of the lyrics and personal meaning of Unthought Known. Great work. Thank you!

Fantastic song.

Great ORION sky shot good film

5 years later I notice this is not the official video, that's how good it is ❤

Eddie put so much heart, soul, and feeling into every song. If you watch live performance videos you can see it in his face. His physical gestures and facial expressions show him pouring himself into every word. So awesome. 👍👍🔥🔥

I'm new to PJ and never heard this. Thanks. #onestepbehind ☮️💜✝️🇺🇸

Backspacer and this song are a part of my heart.... I love singing Eddie.... 💘🥰

This pumps me up every time I listen to, PJ always fukin' amaze me.

when they play this song live its amazing. when it starts picking up. god i love pearl jam

This became my fave track on that album fersure One of my favorite hiking / backpacking songs it just gives off the best most optimistic vibe to explore to This video could be deserving of official video status I love the orchestral synchronization concept I think this was executed really well My favorite part is when the protagonist arrives at the edge of the sea and proceeds to conduct the tides What a perfect scene to meditate on I agree w the comments suggesting that this song is an underrated masterpiece but maybe it'll give the song more value and longevity ,in the long run Wishing a better 2024 for the PJ community ,and the entire globe ❤

Last June I were in Spain and went to see Eddie in Madrid. This year Madrid is on its knees as it is my lovely contry too because of this virus. And this summer we cannot go to rock 'n roll festivals and concerts. I will continue supporting my favourite bands in other ways. They are our voice and speak a in a soft, orderly, and yet powerful way. This with Wishlist are the Pearl Jam songs I impress my closest people with (including girlfriends). There is one thing though from this song that I learned it is a times not valid: "Dream the dreams of other men, you'll be no one's rival." Well, since I started dreaming the dreams of other men I attracted many more enemies than before!

May We Live ForeverJust To Listen To This Voice, Watch This And Those Human(s) Beings... THANKS A LOT EDDIE AND YOU... MOTHER EARTH'S ORCHESTRA'S CHIEF.

All the thoughts you never see You are always thinking Brain is wide, the brain is deep Oh, are you sinking? Tutti i pensieri che non consideri mai ma che fai in continuazione La mente è connessa la mente è profonda oh, stai affondando? Feel the path of every day Which road you taking? Breathing hard, making hay Yeah, this is living Pensa al percorso di ogni giorno quale strada stai prendendo? Respira forte ... e prendi il meglio sí, questa è la vita Look for love in evidence That you’re worth keeping Swallowed whole in negatives It’s so sad and sickening Cerchi l’amore e la prova che meriti di essere tenuto Ingoiare tutta la negatività è così triste e disgustoso Feel the air up above Oh, pool of blue sky Fill the air up with love All black with starlight Senti l’aria sopra di te una piscina di cielo blu Riempi l’aria di amore il buio con la luce delle stelle Feel the sky blanket you With gems and rhinestones!!! See the path cut by the moon For you to walk on Senti il cielo come una coperta fatta di pietre preziose e diamanti falsi!!! Guarda il sentiero tracciato dalla luna Fatto perché tu lo possa percorrere For you to walk on… Perché tu lo possa percorrere Nothing left, nothing left Nothing there, nothing here… Nothing left, nothing left Nothing there, nothing left… Nothing left, nothing left Nothing there, nothing here… Non è rimasto niente, non è rimasto niente niente lì, niente qui non è rimasto niente, non è rimasto niente niente lì, niente qui non è rimasto niente, non è rimasto niente niente lì, niente qui See the path cut by the moon For you to walk on See the waves on distant shores Awaiting your arrival Guarda il sentiero tracciato dalla luna Fatto perché tu lo possa percorrere Guarda le onde sulle rive lontane che aspettano il tuo arrivo Dream the dreams of other men You’ll be no one’s rival Dream the dreams of others then You will be no one’s rival Sogna i sogni di altri uomini non sarai rivale di nessuno Sogna i sogni di altri allora non sarai rivale di nessuno You will be no one’s rival… Non sarai rivale di nessuno A distant time, a distant space That’s where we’re living A distant time, a distant place So what ya giving? What ya giving? Un tempo lontano, uno spazio lontano è lì che viviamo un tempo lontano, un posto lontano allora tu cosa stai dando? cosa stai dando?

So beautiful ❤️. I’ve never heard this Pearl Jam song before 😊

I love his voice, it does something to me x

They opened their Isle of Wight Festival show with this song. They immediately had the entire crowd on the palm of their hand. Needless the say I was fighting the tears, it was an unbelievable gig.

Whenever I listened to this song I felt there was a little something missing. It was this video. Now it's perfect.

A song that saved an Entire generation.

the guy in the video and the people who made it deserve at least some award

Best poetry I have ever heard along with mesmerizing piece of music!!

Wow I just realized how awesome this song is

This song. Chills every time ❤

Mega Video 👍 super Song... Thank you

What about the audio? Backspacer isn't owned by any of the labels and PJ doesn't block usage of their music on KZfaq as most bands do. Despite some 700K page views, I haven't made a single dime off of this video. It was simply meant to be a visual accompaniment to one of my favorite Pearl Jam songs ever. I put it together because I wanted to post an actual video of the song on my girlfriends Facebook wall, and only slideshows existed at the time. So no mixed messages or ill intent.

Great song by a great band. Very underrated song in my opinion.

Pearl Jam, such a wonderful band, such creativity!

honestly like the love I have in my heart for pearl jam/eddie vedder is like UNEXPLAINABLE eddies voice, the lyrics, the guitar, drums, legit everything in every song ever made is just wonderful. I legit feel blessed to live in the time I do to be able to listen to pj. (even tho it would have been awesome to be a teen in the 80s/90s when pj was at its highest) but I'm 19 years old and have listened to pearl jam since I was out the womb and I have my dad to thank for that I'm so glad I was brought up around rock/alt rock music because it brings so much joy to my heart and a song like THIS ONE...blows my mind. it's music like this..... music is awesome and I cant get over it.

Kate, I had trouble on talking to you on some things because I did not want you to feel sad. You hid it well, but I could still see it. I hope time has passed and you are doing okay. So this is just a reminder of my love. A reminder of the way I felt and how I told you much of this, but some I might not have. I hope I am wrong about some of this. I hope you can find love one day again. I had to type this up in advance as I felt it coming from my soul. From my perspective the lyrics are from a husband to wife. The husband feels guilt and remorse for being ill and dying. This may be my perspective because that is what I am going through. I have laid in bed as my body rots listening to this song with the most beautiful woman ever to grace this plane. My heart aches knowing that she puts on a strong face for me now, but soon when I am gone she will be stricken with so much sadness and pain. This is a feeling I could not wish upon my worst enemy, or the worst of humanity. To be 37 and dying. To meet the perfect love that agape cannot give justice to. To fall madly overboard for each other, get married, and become so ill that you never got to take your honeymoon. How can I not feel guilt. She is 28 years old, and I would hope that she could once again find love after I am gone. Yet, I doubt no human being could ever love her as much as I. She will continue a long life knowing that she will never be able to reach that level of love that we have felt. I truly wish I could at least make love to her one last time. Maybe leave her a child for the future so that when I am gone, she can still feel love. I may be dying an agonizing death... but I've got the better end of this deal. For there is no way I could do what she has done. There is no way I could continue to live if I lost her. The deeper the love, the deeper the loss. And no poet or songwriter could ever put into words the love we share. And that will bring immeasurable sadness after I go. That is my take on this song. So be grateful. Use my words as perspective for life. And I hope all of you can find even half of the love that me and my princess feel. For that alone would be enough to change the world around you for the better.

bellissima canzone!!! Eddie ha come semlre una voce travolgente!!!

I think this is one of Pearl Jam's best , I just love this song and Eddie voice there is no other like it. By the way I think the video worked really well with the music. Good choice and a great job.

My mom loves Pearl Jam. She's 63. I love Pearl Jam. I'm 34. We each did heroic doses of mushrooms. Long story short, we still love Pearl Jam.

What a magnificent lyric. Words for all to live by.

this song is amazing live

Never tire of listening to this.

God damn, this is awesome. KZfaq thought I might like this. You done me right, youtube.

every morning i blast this song on my computer..love this song man:)

Dear Pearl Jam, Keep doing what you're doing. You're beautiful. Love, Jonas

Gives me hope in this crazy world, chills every time I hear this song. Best band in the world!!!

Thank you for taking the time to care and listen. May this curse of mortatility one day be lifted so the future can become an indefinite guide to getting to see all the beauty this universe has to offer.

If humans an technology exist in 200 years this bands music will still be played.

I love this song.

one of my favorite pearl jam songs. keep inspiring guys much love

4.3 million views on an unofficial clip? Goes to show how great it is. Thanks for making this!

One last thank you to all of you that replied in kindness. And a thank you to you ChasingDogma I've fought hard. Many of you have helped and you probably did not even know it. But to those that responded in kindness I say to you, be happy...be proud you helped someone. I love you all. I'm leaving one last post here for my Kate to find one day down the road. And kind comments and words of advice would be great for her to receive. For I know how oddly powerful the words of strangers can be. I've fought hard. But this is a battle no one ever wins for long.

Everyone's interpretation will be different but this is what came to me. Its losing a love. She doesn't see it and she doesn't know all the thoughts. Then saying that her love is the best anyone could have and who ever man she will later be with will be creating the greatest dreams anyone could ever create together . she will never be anyone's rival cuz she is the best that nothing could match. Maybe in a distant time and place we could of been together and had the same but since your hear now face to face what are you gonna give? What are you giveing? Or maybe what am I giving? Because i can feel its something special. So big like waves crashing at the shores and the deep emotions with strength of the full lit moon of this path that guides.

i have listened over 10 times the last 60 minutes. Great song.!!

Best song ever! I love Pearl Jam! Eddie Vedder

Astonishingly good! As good as anything I've seen on KZfaq. May your great talent and genius take you home, safely, with great light and space and love along the way!

Great video. Speechless. Great song and great video

When you feel down,than see Eddy first than listen him with his shining deep voice and... turn on again! That's what I feel on my own, and you?

One of my absolute favourite videos ever. Great Work!!

I remember I was tripping balls on a quad of boomers and stumbled upon this video while rocking out and this song & video literally took my breath away. That was years ago. Today while at work, I felt the need to hear this again and uplift my spirits. I’m so glad found this again.

love PJ

Awesome shots. Great editing. All around standing ovation!

Great job, man. This is my favourite video in the whole youtube, and it could be the official video clip for the song. Cheers from Brazil!

Merry christmas my brothers, i'm from brazil, and i wish you all the best for you guys!!

Favorite song by Pearl Jam, right next to "Just Breathe" and "State of Love and Trust".

A distant time, a distant space That's where we're living A distant time, a distant place.. That's where you took me with this video! =) It's so amazing how it looks and it fits with the song! I can watch it all over again and feel the same amazing feeling every time! I sooooo love it! Well done! =)

Grunge music,brings me alive..specially whit this voice.Thanks Eddie

This song makes me feel Alive. And I need it more than never.

Fucking awesome video... Pearl Jam, the very very best of grunge....

one of the best bands of all time.

Amaaazing song, I cant help listening over and over and over. What we are giving !!

Truely has to be the greatest song and band the world has ever seen :D

this is outstanding. i understand that you made it with footage that already existed, but that just makes it even more incredible. there's a narrative, a story in that. i can identify myself with the guy, i can interpretate and give meaning to the scenes, and, most of all, i can see and feel all the turns and twists of the song. you've got an unbeliavable talent to combine images and music. this video just became my favorite of this big "kitten video library" that we call "youtube".

Simplesmente pearl jam!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

some days you need certain songs they make you cry and give you a reason why thank you

I really appreciate both Eddie Vedder and the guy who clearly appreciates music in this video 🌸🌹🌸 This video remains one of my faves for so many years now! Please don’t stop making music, and awesome videos, Thanks 🙏🏻🕊👑👑👑👑👑🙂🌹👑🌹🌸🌸

I just saw them live at DeLuna Fest in Pensacola, FL. They played Unthought Known... it was amazing. Check them out live if you get a chance.

I have to tell you - this video is awesome! Good job... Great song! :)

Castle brought me here but now in love with pearl jam's music

My God that was beautiful. Like someone sneaked a camera in mind when I close my eyes and bliss out to this song. Thank you.

Chasing Dogma: Your video is PERFECT. Congrats on capturing the essence of Ed's masterpiece. Thank you! This song elevates me to such a place of innocence and perfection. Euphoria, a poster below says. He is absolutely correct in his description of this song.

Where can I find a candle that smells like Eddie Vedder's voice?

This is far and away one of my favorite music videos. Thank you to whoever it is that made this.
