Eddie Vedder Covers The Beatles and The Lyric Hall of Fame



Watch and thank me for showing you possibly the best live cover of a song I've ever heard. If you find a better one, let me know. That's that the comment box is for!

Eddie Vedder really is one of the best singers of all time. Not in a Chris Cornell/Michael Jackson type of way, but his voice is just amazing.

I also have a new self-made addition to my room, my own personal Hall of Fame. Basically, all I've done is write down the lyrics to my favourite songs on the wall. Doesn't sound like much, but I like it. On the left are the lyrics, but on the right are my gig tickets, a Springsteen advert for Hampden that was in the paper, and the awesome Yellow Submarine collage that Kirst made me (once again, ta!) I'm planning on having most of the wall covered...



I'll tell you what's on each sheet, just in case you can't read it, so from top left, we have:

Joy Division - Disorder
The Beatles - A Day In The Life
David Bowie - Sound And Vision
The Ramones - Blitzkrieg Bop
Franz Ferdinand - Walk Away
The Doors - People Are Strange
Vampire Weekend - A-Punk
The Smiths - Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want
The Beatles - You've Got To Hide Your Love Away
Cream - I Feel Free

I'm in the middle of writing a few more, I'll show them later on, once they're done.

And to finish off, here's that wonderful sub again!



Darren out, saying I can walk down the street, there's no-one there, though the pavements are one huge crowd...

  2. Lyrics you should put on your wall:

    There Is A Light... (pure perfection)

    Streets of Philadelphia (sample line, "I can feel the blood in my veins, black and whispering as the rain). AMAZING!

    Acrobat by U2

    It's My Own Cheating Heart... by Glasvegas

    Lover, You Should Have Come Over (most heartfelt love song ever written).

    Fake Empire by The National

    Scatman's World by Scatman John:

    "Scatman, fat man, black and white and brown man
    Tell me bout the colour of your soul
    If part of your solution isn't ending the pollution
    Then I don't want to hear your stories told"

    Genius.
