Description
Eddie Vedder's 'Matter of Time' is a poignant and heartfelt collection that showcases the Pearl Jam frontman's ability to craft deeply personal and resonant music. Released on November 23, 2020, the album is not a full-length LP but rather a six-track EP that includes both original songs and covers, highlighting Vedder's versatility and emotional depth as a solo artist.
The title track, "Matter of Time", is a standout piece. Written during the COVID-19 pandemic, it reflects themes of hope and resilience, resonating with the collective experience of uncertainty and longing for better days. Vedder's voice carries a raw sincerity, and the piano-driven arrangement adds a layer of intimacy that feels both comforting and uplifting. The song was initially performed during a virtual benefit event for the EB Research Partnership, an organisation close to Vedder's heart, and its message of perseverance is universal.
Another highlight is "Say Hi", a tender and touching song that Vedder wrote for a young fan battling a rare genetic disorder. The simplicity of the acoustic guitar accompaniment allows the lyrics and Vedder's emotive delivery to take centre stage, creating a deeply moving listening experience. This track exemplifies Vedder's ability to connect with his audience on a profoundly human level.
The EP also includes live renditions of "Just Breathe" and "Future Days", two beloved Pearl Jam tracks that gain new dimensions in these stripped-down performances. These versions showcase Vedder's skill as a live performer, capable of conveying the same intensity and passion in an intimate setting as he does on a grand stage.
Rounding out the collection are covers of Bruce Springsteen's "Growin' Up" and the traditional folk song "Guantanamera." Vedder's take on "Growin' Up" is both faithful and personal, capturing the spirit of Springsteen's original while infusing it with his own unique style. "Guantanamera", on the other hand, is a surprising yet delightful inclusion, demonstrating Vedder's appreciation for diverse musical traditions.
'Matter of Time' is a testament to Eddie Vedder's artistry and his ability to create music that speaks to the heart. While it may be a brief offering, its impact is profound, leaving listeners with a sense of connection and hope. For fans of Vedder and Pearl Jam, as well as anyone seeking music that resonates on a deeply emotional level, this EP is a must-listen.
