Pearl Jam - Off He Goes (Official Audio)

First introduced to me by my Russian friend/sweetheart in 1996, one of the kindest souls I ever met, huge grunge fan, sent me a tape, with this as the introductory tune....Oh, "whale & wasp' , by Alice in Chains, was also on...classic

This song, I tried to but failed.

This one I ask for Carmelo Anthony, yeah ..

Love this song i remember in the 90's. reminds me of my dad.

"Off He Goes"

1, 2, 1, 2

Know a man, his face seemed pulled and tense
Like he's riding on a motorbike in the strongest winds
So I approach with tact, suggest that he should relax
But he's always moving much too fast
Said he'll see me on the flip side of this trip he's taking for a ride

He's been taking too much on
There he goes with his perfectly unkempt clothes
There he goes

He's yet to come back but I've seen his picture
It doesn't look the same up on the rack
We go way back
I wonder about his insides
It's like his thoughts are too big for his size

He's been taken, where? I don't know
Off he goes with his perfectly unkept hope
There he goes

And now I rub my eyes for he has returned
Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned
For he still smiles, and he's still strong
Nothing's changed but the surrounding bullshit; That has grown
And now he's home and we're laughing like we always did
My same old, same old friend
Until a quarter to ten
I saw the strain creep in
He seems distracted and I know just what is gonna happen next
Before his first step, he is off again

Reminds me of my Dad 💛

No dia que esse disco chegou no Brasil ainda não havia muita divulgação, vc ia na loja e olhava os lançamentos, eu peguei esse disco e sabia que era pj, até depois confirmar pois veio com um adesivo fechando plástico com o selo no code pj

Most think that this song was written about 2 Friends that were close at one point and that one “Friend” left and then after sometime came back.ect… the Listener can interpret songs as They choose to and thats what is so meaningful and great about Music and Lyrics. However from the Lyricists POV can be about a very specific topic. In this case OHG is written by Vedder about Vedder and His Own interpretation on His “Personal” View and how thigns have changed since Vedder’s Profession and way of Life changed since becoming a Singer in a well known Rock N Roll Band. In otherwards He’s the same Person as He was but with So much attention by Society to His Stardom He’s the same Person before but He knows Others look at Him Differently… in otherwards Old Young Eddie before becoming Big and the other Eddie Leaving traveling/Singing/In one of the most Recognized Bands and seeing “Each” Eddie from the Before & after outlook! listen to it again from Eddie’s Perspective.. interesting!

Great tune 😎🙏🏻

los mejores

My dad walked after age of 5 never looked back, its my niece i feel for never knowing her grandad as he just cba 🤷

This one has always reminded me of my dad. Particularly when I was young, and he was drinking, he would leave and be gone for long periods of time. Then he would come home clean and sober. Until the strain creeped in. You could see it happening. He was off again.

This entire album is considered to me the best pearl jam album hands down!!!

What an incredible song

I love you

Danced the Mother/Son dance to this beautiful song ❤️❤️

No Code was the first album I ever bought. 12 years old, my first year in high school. I’m now 40, and it’s still on high rotation. Off He Goes is still among my favourite songs off all time. It’s just perfect, and really makes you sit back and ponder. I’ll never stop listening to it.

Wonderful ❤

😴

Who’s here in 2048?

Apoingnant representation of Australian pop music

Ouvindo 2024...com a filha de 7 anos e marido em casa...que paz.. ❤obrigada Deus

When I was very little I lost my grandpa due to cancer and ever since then whenever I have heard this song I can never finish the song because of him. In many ways this song was my grandpa saying that he will always be there for me when I need him

Awesome!!! Pearl Jam. Hope to see you in B with a great tix price

One of the many reasons I think this is Pearl Jam's best album is this masterpiece of a song, and it is not even my favourite one in the album.

Unglaublich. So wunderschön. Der beste Song von Pearl Jam ! Bei all den unglaublichen Liedern die sie gemacht haben und

Who’s here in 2048?

Most of the time I felt like this song. Great tune.

This was my dad. Smartest, hardest working man I ever met. He's gone but I will never let his being fade

For you ONE fans, this is what hope sounds like isn’t it?

It’s a drug addicted friend of Eds

I want to dedicate this song to my father, who came and came back, until one day he didn't come back again, he has been dead for more than 20 years.

Wow, love this. Always liked PJ but didn’t follow closely. This is a great song…

This is one of the great Pearl Jam tracks. Great story telling eddie. Hope I get to see them perform again while they're still at it.

This is the song I'd play for someone if they never heard Pearl Jam before.
Its my favorite, period, and much better as is all Eddie's music, live.

My brother.

comment section is like an obituary... dats y i listen to death metal, way more uplifting!

I love you...

A brother of mine and I went to war once and my laud, having no internet and being able to listen to a song so much that you can perfectly create exact lyrics after endless enjoyment . Cheers Pearl Jam.

Letras
Know a man
His face seems pulled and tense
Like he's riding on a motorbike
In the strongest winds
So I approach with tact
Suggest the he should relax
But he's always moving much too fast
Said he'll see me on the flip side
On this trip he's taken for a ride
He's been taking too much on
There he goes with his perfectly unkept clothes
There he goes
He's yet to come back
But I've seen his picture
It doesn't look the same up on the rack
We go way back
I wonder 'bout his insides
It's like his thoughts are too big for his size
He's been taken, where? I don't know
Off he goes, with his perfectly unkept hope
There he goes
And now I rub my eyes
For he has returned
Seems my preconceptions are
What should have been burned
For he still smiles
And he's still strong
Nothing's changed
But the surrounding bullshit
That has grown
And now he's home and we're laughing
Like we always did
My same old, same old friend
Until a quarter to ten
I saw the strain creep in
He seems distracted
And I know just what is gonna happen next
Before his first step
He is off again

My brother died. If this earth. This song was his. He is at peace. I am fortunate to have Mikey. In life and my dreams. ❤
