The world of sports and songwriting haven’t always been good friends, Fogerty’s “Centerfield” notwithstanding. The Chicago Bears’ “Super Bowl Shuffle” was a cultural phenomenon, but it wasn’t exactly, you know, good. Long-time Cubs fan Eddie Vedder is trying to fix that. He’s written a song called “All the Way” about the Cubs chances to do just that this year. It’s got a nice blend of melancholy and hope that befits both Vedder and the Cubs. And the guy’s a legitimate, long-time fan. Sample lyrics:

Spiritual feeling if I ever knew
And if you ain’t been I am sorry for you
When the day comes with that last winning run
And I’m crying and covered in beer
I’ll look to the sky and know I was right
That someday we’ll go all the way

You can download the official studio version of the song for $.99 at Pearl Jam’s official store. Or you can get a bootleg of a 2007 performance of the song here.
