Eddie Vedder ha dedicato Long Road a Chris Cornell: "questa è una preghiera per te, quanto ti vorrei qui oggi"

Il frontman dei Pearl Jam Eddie Vedder si è esibito in Sud Africa durante il Global Citizens Festival: Mandela 100 rendendo omaggio al suo caro amico Chris Cornell, morto nel maggio 2017. Prima di esibirsi in una bellissima versione di "Long Road", ha descritto la performance come una sorta di preghiera: "dedico questa canzone a mio fratello Chris e a Nelson Mandela".

Long Road:

And I wished for so long cannot stay.
All the precious moments cannot stay.
It’s not like wings have fallen cannot stay.
But still something’s missing cannot say.
Holding hands of daughters and sons,
And their faiths are falling down.
I have wished for so long
How I wish for you today.
Will I walk the long road? Cannot stay
There’s no need to say goodbye
All the friends and family.
All the memories going round.
I have wished for so long.
How I wish for you today.
And the wind keeps rollin’,
And the sky keeps turning gray.
And the sun is set
The sun will rise another day.
I have wished for so long
How I wish for you today.
I have wished for so long
How I wish for you today.
Will I walk the long road?
We all walk the long road
