Eddie Vedder – “Brother the Cloud”

Eddie Vedder has shared a new song off his forthcoming album. Entitled “Brother the Cloud”, the song pays tribute to Vedder’s close friend and bandmate, Chris Cornell.

The emotional lyrics include a yearning for a “lost brother”.

If I could wish, wish it?away
I?would?bleed out my?knees and pray
If?I could give all that I have
To bring him back today
These are but dreams
As sad as it seems
I’m always wide awake

The song appears on Vedder’s third solo album, Earthlings. It features guest vocals from Ringo Starr, Stevie Wonder, and Elton John. It’ll be released on February 11.
