Corduroy (English) The waiting drove me mad You're finally here and I'm a mess I take your entrance back Can't let you roam inside my head I don't want to take what you can give I would rather starve than eat your bread I would rather run but I can't walk Guess I'll lie alone just like before I'll take the varmint's path Oh, and I must refuse your test A-push me and I will resist This behavior's not unique I don't want to hear from those who know They can buy, but can't put on my clothes I don't want to limp for them to walk Never would have known of me before I don't want to be held in your debt And I'll pay it off in blood, let I be wed And I'm already cut up and half dead I'll end up alone like I began Everything has chains... Absolutely nothing's changed... Take my hand, not my picture, spilled my tincture I don't want to take what you can give I would rather starve than eat your bread All the things that others want for me Can't buy what I want because it's free... (2x) Can't be what you want because I'm... I ain't s'posed to be just fun Oh, to live and die, let it be done I figure I'll be damned All alone like I began... It's your move now... I thought you were a friend, but I guess I, I guess I hate you... Veludo Cotelê (Português) A espera me fez ficar louco... você finalmente está aqui e eu estou um lixo Eu não deixo você entrar...não posso deixá-la perambular dentro da minha cabeça Eu não quero pegar o que você pode me dar Eu preferiria passar fome à comer o seu pão Eu preferiria correr mas eu não posso andar Acho que eu irei me deitar sozinho como antes Eu pegarei o caminho mais difícil...oh, e eu devo recusar seu teste Empurre-me e eu irei resistir...esse comportamento não é só meu Eu não quero ouvir daqueles que sabem Eles podem comprar, mas não podem vestir minhas roupas Eu não quero mancar para eles andarem Nunca terão conhecimento de mim daqui em diante Eu não quero ficar preso pela sua dívida Eu pagarei por isso em sangue, deixe eu me libertar Eu já estou em pedaços e metade morto Acabarei sozinho como no começo Tudo mudou, absolutamente nada mudou Pegue minha mão, não apenas minha foto, disperse minha cor Eu não quero pegar o que você pode me dar Eu preferiria passar fome à comer o seu pão Todas as coisas que os outros querem para mim Não posso comprar o que eu quero porque isto é de graça Não posso ser o que você quer porque eu sou...... Eu não pretendo ser apenas engraçado Oh, viver e morrer, deixe acontecer Eu acho que serei amaldiçoado, completamente só como no começo É a sua vez agora Eu achava que você era um amigo, mas eu acho, eu acho que te odeio...

About This Footage

The grainy footage of Pearl Jam performing "Corduroy" at the Self Pollution Radio '95 concert is a rare gem that offers a glimpse into the band's live performance during their 1995 tour. At this point in time, Pearl Jam was still riding high on the success of their second album, Vs., and were known for their intense and energetic live shows.

The footage itself is remarkable not only because it captures the band's raw energy but also because it showcases Eddie Vedder's distinctive vocals and lyrics. The song "Corduroy" is a standout track from the album, with its haunting melody and poignant lyrics that explore themes of alienation and disconnection. Vedder's vocal delivery is particularly noteworthy in this performance, conveying a sense of desperation and longing.

What makes this footage significant is that it provides a unique perspective on Pearl Jam's live performances during their 1990s heyday. The band was known for pushing the boundaries of what was considered acceptable in rock music, with Vedder's lyrics often tackling darker themes such as social isolation and personal struggle. This performance of "Corduroy" is no exception, with Vedder's vocals soaring above the rest of the band to deliver a haunting rendition of the song.

The Self Pollution Radio '95 concert was a pivotal moment in Pearl Jam's career, marking a turning point for the band as they began to explore new sounds and themes in their music. The footage from this concert offers a fascinating glimpse into the creative process that would eventually lead to their critically-acclaimed album Yield.

One of the most striking aspects of this performance is the way it captures the raw energy of Pearl Jam's live show. The band was known for their intense performances, with Vedder often leaping off stage and interacting with the crowd in a way that was both unpredictable and electrifying. This footage conveys the sense of urgency and intensity that defined Pearl Jam's live shows during this period.

Watching this performance of "Corduroy" is like stepping into a time capsule, transporting viewers back to the mid-1990s when alternative rock was exploding onto the scene. The band's music was characterized by its raw energy, poetic lyrics, and a sense of rebelliousness that resonated with a generation of disaffected youth.

As the song builds towards its crescendo, Vedder's vocals become increasingly intense, conveying a sense of desperation and longing. It's a powerful performance that showcases the band's ability to craft songs that are both deeply personal and universally relatable.

The footage ends abruptly, leaving viewers wanting more. But even in its brevity, this performance of "Corduroy" offers a glimpse into the creative process that defined Pearl Jam's early years. It's a testament to the band's enduring legacy as one of rock music's most innovative and influential acts.
