Eddie Vedder is absolutely one of my favorite musical composers. He is not only the singer of Pearl Jam, but a very talented man as an individual artist. He has done the soundtrack for "Into the Wild", and his Ukulele album is an extraordinary work of music.
Every song on the album has nothing but his soothing voice and the tranquility that is brought with the sound of a Ukulele. The album consists of softer covers of songs like "Can't Keep", (from Pearl Jam's album "Riot Act"), and "Sleeping by Myself", (from the album "Lightning Bolt"). The album also has some originals such as "You're True", "Tonight You Belong to Me", and so many others. I love how not only the sound is so silent and peaceful, but Eddie even incorporated sounds of the ocean. The album not only emphasizes love, but a rest of mind, and whenever I am discouraged I let go of the world around, and go to this happy place through his music.
My favorite songs on this album are "You're true", and "Longing to Belong". The reasons I feel such admiration towards these songs is because they focus of the positive aspects of the lover, as opposed to anger brought out in the hard rock band. The first song shows a commitment, and the second a desire for such commitment.
In conclusion, I highly recommend this album to turn to when life has you feeling sad, it allows you to establish peace and enforces tranquility and positivity.
