MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut 1 — opening of Jeremy)

One of the most unsettling songs of the early ’90s hit No. 1 on January 12, 1992.

Pearl Jam’s “Jeremy.”

(Music Cut 2 — verse settles in)

Inspired by a real tragedy,
Eddie Vedder first came across the story in a newspaper article.

Vedder later said the song was meant to point towards something else —
“the best revenge is to live on and prove yourself.”

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“Try to forget this, Try to erase this, From the blackboard.” — Pearl Jam
