The other story that the song is based on involved a student that Vedder knew from his junior high school in San Diego, California. When asked about the song, Vedder explained: "He signed all of his notes, 'Write back.' But on Monday he wrote, 'Later days.' I didn't know what to make of it. Lisa Moore, a schoolmate, knew Jeremy from the in-school suspension program: "He and I would pass notes back and forth and he would talk about life and stuff," she said. Delle walked to the front of the classroom, announced "Miss, I got what I really went for", put the barrel of the firearm in his mouth, and pulled the trigger before his teacher or classmates could react. He left the classroom, and returned with a .357 Magnum revolver. In a 2009 interview, Vedder said that he felt "the need to take that small article and make something of it-to give that action, to give it reaction, to give it more importance." ĭelle was described by schoolmates as "real quiet" and known for "acting sad." After coming in to class late that morning, Delle was told to get an admittance slip from the school office. The song takes its main inspiration from a newspaper article about a 15-year-old boy named Jeremy Wade Delle from Richardson, Texas who shot himself in front of his teacher and second period English class of 30 students on the morning of January 8, 1991. "Jeremy" is based on two different true stories. Both instruments play a descending minor key melody, fading out with one single note. At the end the instruments gradually fade out until all that is audible is a clean guitar and the 12-string bass, like the intro. The song starts off with the bassline and quiet harmonic notes also on the 12-string bass, and continues in a sedate vein until after the second chorus, when densely layered guitars and vocals gradually enter. It features prominent usage of Ament's 12-string Hamer bass guitar, which is pivotal to the sound of the introduction and end of the recording. "Jeremy" is in the key of A, and intertwines the parallel modes of major and minor frequently. Statements consisting only of original research should be removed.
