According to friends and family, the song does not follow Jeremy’s actual life very closely, and while the hit lives on as one of the band’s best, it eclipses the true and tragic story of Jeremy Delle. So it may have been inspired by his terrible last decision but that’s it. Vedder claimed that he considered reaching out to Delle’s family prior to writing the song, but “felt like [he] was intruding.” He admits that he “deduced” that Jeremy had been ignored by his parents without ever speaking to them.
I think both of his parents does not appreciate this song. Because they thought they were not there, they dont know the child behind the name Jeremy. Well anyway to be honest, i like the music and lyrics.
