Video Premiere

Longing story short

May 4, 2011 0 Comments

Ukelele Songs, the second solo album from Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder, arrives at the end of the month. As should be neon-blinking clear from the title, all the songs, a mix of originals and covers, are centered around the small four-stringed instrument often associated with Tiny Tim (or Train).

Vedder has released a video for the first single from Ukelele Songs, “Longing To Belong.” Cut with blurry home-movie images of crashing waves, palm trees, and a female companion, the avid surfer is clearly one with his instrument, plucking away at this fetching little number about some hoped for L-O-V-E.

Ukelele Songs is out on May 30.

Purchase Eddie Vedder – “Longing to Belong” via iTunes, Amazon MP3.
