Jeremy... de Pearl Jam

Una de las mejores canciones de Pearl Jam, dentro de su gran album Ten. Ahora que lo pienso, este album me trae muy buenos recuerdos, de una de esas pequeñas cosas que nunca se olvidan en la vida. Bueno, dejemoslo en que me trae buenos recuerdos.

De todas formas Jeremy es una canción realmente triste. Narra la historia de un niño llamado Jeremy Wale Dale que se suicidó frente a sus compañeros de salón. La letra narra la falta de atención que los padres prestaban al niño y cómo era el objeto de burlas y bromas de otros niños, hechos que lo llevaron a cometer suicidio.

At home, drawing pictures of mountain tops
With him on top lemin yellow sun, arms raised in a V
And the dead lay in pools of maroon below
Daddy didnt give attention
Oh, to the fact that mommy didn't care
King jeremy the wicked...oh, ruled his world...
Jeremy spoke in class today... (2x)

Clearly I remember pickin on the boy
Seemed a harmless little fuck
Ooh, but we unleashed a lion...
Gnashed his teeth and bit the recess ladys breast...
How can I forget?
And he hit me with a surprise left
My jaw left hurtin...ooh, dropped wide open
Just like the day...oh, like the day I heard

Daddy didnt give affection, no...
And the boy was something that mommy wouldnt wear
King jeremy the wicked...oh, ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today... (3x)
Woo... (14x)
Try to forget this...try to forget this...
Try to erase this...try to erase this...
]from the blackboard...

Jeremy spoke in class today... (2x)
Jeremy spoke in, spoke in... (2x)
Jeremy spoke in class today...
Woo... (29x)
Woooooohhh...spoke in, spoke in...
Woooooohhh...uh huh, uh huh...
