Hear Eddie Vedder's cover of the English Beat's "Save It for Later" and Jennifer Castle's "Blowing Kisses" from the soundtrack of 'The Bear.'

The Pearl Jam frontman covered the English Beat's "Save It for Later" as a solo artist, while Castle wrote "Blowing Kisses" for the show The soundtrack to the third season of The Bear features Eddie Vedder ‘s new cover of the English Beat ‘s “Save It for Later.” Where the original song was a buoyant ska song with a strong upbeat and staccato violin in the background, the Pearl Jam frontman has slowed the tempo and dialed back the instrumentation to place more focus on the lyrics and the emotion in his voice, which makes it more convincing when he sings the overwhelmingly British line “I don’t know how I’m meant to act with all of you lot.” He kept the sax solo, too. Rolling Stone’s review of the season notes that different renditions of the song frequently tap the emotion of scenes that feature Ayo Edebiri’s character, Sydney Adamu, facing change.
