I Won't Back Down


Listening to Eddy Vedder sing...wow...his voice fills me with hope and faith like never before...for a moment i start believing in myself...not that i hate them but he is so fucking better than posers like Jim Morrison...he never acts drunk and never wants to take over the world or earn a million dollars...

He sings with feeling...with passion...and his song-writing skills are outta this world...he has been through a lot...the song 'Alive'...is about his mother coming up to him and telling him that his real father aint the one he got now but that he is dead...and in one episode of vh1 storytellers he told the audience that this particular song is a curse to him...its about a curse that he is under...and people think that this song is about celebration of life and feeling what it feels to be alive...and Eddy said...''everytime people change the meaning, the curse is lifted...''

I was just listening to his version of Tom Petty's 'I Won't Back Down'...and you can barely hear the guitar...but his thick, baritone voice just pierces through every heart in the crowd and by the end of it...the crowd is hysterical and singing along...now thats what i call good singing...

Well I won't back down
No I won't back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down

No I'll stand my ground, won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin me down
gonna stand my ground
... and I won't back down

Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
hey I will stand my ground
and I won't back down

Well I know what's right, I got just one life
in a world that keeps on pushin me around
but I'll stand my ground
...and I won't back down

Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
hey I will stand my ground
and I won't back down...

Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
hey I won't back down

hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
hey I will stand my ground
and I won't back down

No I won't back down...
