Soon forget

Quem me conheçe sabe bem a admiração que tenho pelos Pearl Jam, e sobretudo pelo seu vocalista Eddie Vedder. É uma das vozes mais extraordinárias que alguma vez ouvi. Esta música não é das mais conhecidas, e talvez nem sequer uma das melhores, mas os acordes suaves tocados no ukalele e a voz única do Eddie são uma combinação fantástica.

A letra é também muito interessante, falando de um homem que põe o dinheiro à frente de tudo o resto e como tal viveu uma existência inútil:

Sorry is the fool who trades his soul for a corvette.
Thinks he'll get the girl he'll only get the mechanic.
What's missing? He's living a day he'll soon forget.

That's one more time around. The sun is going down.
The moon is out but he's drunk and shouting.
Putting people down. He's pissing. He's living a day he'll soon forget.

Counts his money every morning. The only thing that keeps him horny.
Locked in a giant house that's alarming.
The townsfolk they all laugh.

Sorry is the fool who trades his love for hi-rise rent.
Seem the more you make equals the loneliness you get.
And it's fitting. He's barely living a day he'll soon forget.

That's one more time around and there is not a sound.
He's lying dead clutching Benjamins. Never put the money down.
He's stiffening. We're all whistling a man we'll soon forget.
