Review about Yellow Ledbetter Terry isn't idiotic. | Reviewer: Strazmoid | 11/4/09 That is kind of harsh, seeing as all terry did was voice his opinion. Maybe on some level Terry was right any way. Not everything has to have a single meaning you know, and as you said yourself, Eddie Vedder changes the lyrics every time. As you said, this song isn't about the lyrics, it is about the tone, and the tone fits what terry said. Don't flame. terry's idiotic | Reviewer: AJ | 6/15/09 Terry has no idea what he's talking about. Eddie Vedder himself has announced that it's about receiving a letter from the government saying that a family member has died overseas serving the military. He has also stated that he does, in fact, change the lyrics every time he sings it. There are no official lyrics to the song. But the power of the tune is undeniable. His voiceis spectacular, and conveys emotions without lyrics. He could essentially hum the song and it would have the same affect. And this guitar riff is my personal favorite of all time, i've spenthours sitting in my room, listening to this song and just thinking. By the way Terry, it's not all that difficult to use a little thing called "spell check" Yellow Letter | Reviewer: ThunderHeads | 1/14/09 This song was written in '91, the same time as the first Gulf War. Apparently, Vedder went for a walk with his friend who received a "yellow letter" telling him that his brother had died overseas, and would therefore be returning "in a box or in a bag." On this walk, his friend gestured to salute a flag on a house, but the people on the porch glared disapprovingly because of this young man's 'alternative' appearance. "Ledbetter" is the name of one of Vedder's friends from Chicago, Tim Ledbetter...it's possible that it was Tim's brother who died Box or a bag | Reviewer: Corn | 1/2/09 I believe it's, "I don't know whether he'll come home in a box or a bag." Obviously coming from the perspective of a sibling with a brother in the war. Most likely in Vietnam. The main problem with putting any meaning to this song, is just knowing the actual lyrics to it. It's very hard, in every rendition and performance of it, to know what Eddie is singing, because he mumbles throughout the majority of it. I believe it is clearly about a sibling with a brother at war. Perhaps this sibling had gotten a letter saying his or her brother had died, or perhaps it's just about a sibling worrying. Either way, this is a very difficult song to put a meaning to, seeing as Vedder has sang it differently in nearly every performance of it, and the lyrics, if you can manage to understand them, are usually not the same. not little wing | Reviewer: terry | 6/20/08 the playing and vocals and arrangment go perfect together. I think the song is more about a brother and sister, one having health problems, the other mental problems. neither one wanting ther family to see there last few monthes on earth. soo they reqwest no visitors. and the brother that cant see them, is in mentle torcher,because he knows and he knows he dont want to see it at all Li'l wing | Reviewer: Rodrigo | 1/18/08 I heard somewhere that the main riff for this song was inspired on Hendrix's ”Little Wing”, And there is a very pronounced similarity, check it out. Quite interesting... anyway the track is simply overwhelming. I luv it. one of the best | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/28/07 yes i wanted to know the lyrics to such awesome playing, it's one of those songs that can just grab your soul even without the words. I thought this kind of playing was gone long ago, glad I was wrong!! it makes me chill... | Reviewer: fernando | 12/12/07 There is something great about this song, and it's that it encloses a whole concept to it. In fact, english is not my main language, and i must say that the way eddie vedder sings is not the easyer to understand, so when I first heard this song, It gave me the chills, just like dennis said...that's the power of the melody, and the power of eddie's voice (and expression)...I Find it amazing how voices can express fellings in such an universal way. Also this shows how a simple melody, well tought can touch you in such a way. hypnotically perfect | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/12/07 The very instant that this song crawled into my ear, I instantly fell in love with it. The hypnoticly calm and remorsefull voice Vedder both relaxes me as well as putts me a state of thaught that not much other songs could do. The Hendrix like guitar performance only adds onto the effect, and I cant help but just fall into a state of ease. My mom even got a picture of me while I was in this trance, and it truly shows my response to the song. Unsealed? | Reviewer: StarDust | 10/17/07 I know everyone says "Unsealed" is the first line of this song but when I listen to it, it always sounds to me like he's saying "on the ceilin' " and yeah it doesn't make sense but that's what it sounds like to me.
