Ed was supposed to contribute more to Mirror Ball. I’ve always thought he would’ve sung
“Hey ho, away we go
We're on the road to never”

I may be wrong but I thought the only vocals Ed did were on Peace and Love.

The Mirror Ball album notes credit Eddie Vedder twice:
Additional lyrics for “Peace and Love” written by Eddie Vedder
and
Eddie Vedder: Background vocals

I wish we knew more.

My flawed memory is telling me that Ed’s background vocals are on I’m the Ocean.

He may be on it but there’s no way that’s not him on Song X.

No, Whipping deserves to win. But I voted for Song X to give it some much deserved love.
