Other talents featured include Stevie Wonder, Gorillaz, Brandi Carlile, Ed Sheeran, Miley Cyrus, and Lil Nas X. Vedder is one of many artists Elton John collaborated with for his Lockdown Sessions. “I love his music and Pearl Jam are brilliant, and he's a big fan, so when he left me a note in my dressing room one day saying how much he'd like it if I wrote some music to his lyrics, I jumped at the opportunity.” “Eddie Vedder is one of the nicest people I know,” Elton John writes. The two got to know each other when John was performing in Hawaii, where Vedder has a home. On a page of Elton John’s website dedicated to the stories behind each of The Lockdown Sessions’ 17 tracks, he shares how “E-Ticket” came about. Vedder encourages this sentiment in the lyrics “you gotta figure it’s an e-ticket ride. Just as the intangible nature of an E-Ticket can at first bring uncertainty, the purpose of life is not always clear, but there is reason and reward. The lyrics, which the legendary English musician and Pearl Jam frontman co-wrote with producer Andrew Wyatt, offer a fitting message for the unpredictable and challenging times the world is facing. “E-Ticket” is the most classically rock of the album’s tracklisting and certainly offers a spot of jubilance. While Vedder sings the majority of the lyrics with vocal accents from Elton John, their voices come together for each chorus, full of emotion and passion. Led in by bouncy piano, energetic guitar and drumming from Taylor Hawkins of Foo Fighters, the instrumentation sets the song in motion. ĭIVING INTO THE SOUND AND MEANING OF “E-TICKET” By Nora Onanian, Web Services CoordinatorĮlton John and Eddie Vedder encourage putting trust in life despite its uncertainties with their lively and uplifting collaborative track, “E-Ticket.” The song appears on Elton John’s recently released album The Lockdown Sessions.
