Eddie Vedder sings a Tom Petty cover “Room at the Top” at the 2018 Oscars as background for a montage of movie scenes in Memoriam of major entertainers departed in the past year.
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I can see everything tonight
I got a room where everyone
Can have a drink and forget those things
That went wrong in their life…
I got a room at the top of the world tonight…
And I ain’t comin’ down, no I ain’t comin’ down
I ain’t comin’ down
<3
Every time they do these “In Memoriams” I sit there going, oh yeah, that one and that one and… Love Eddy Vedder and Tom Petty so putting them together in such a way, was a brilliant idea, Academy!
Thanks for sharing that, David.
And I’m nodding my head yes yes yes to everything you share.
😊
Sweet. I just watched them perform together on Youtube last night! Such a bittersweet performance.
Sure was….

Poignant, piercing, perfect…
All that. What does you call rhythmic p, p, p that you have beautifully strung together?
Alliteration. It’s my weakness…
I like it (very much)

Thanks for sharing this. I missed the Academy Awards so it was great to see this part. It was well done and the perfect song!
It really was Darlene, thank you
Didn’t know the track. This two verses: Can have a drink and forget those things
That went wrong in their life… – just perfect 😉
Love the lyrics and his rendition. I hadn’t heard the track either. Loved it too…
Can I come over to that room today? Just for an hour or two? 🙂
You may. But you must come back. Quickly.
Ok…I will!
