THE 1000 BEST SONGS IN THE WORLD EVER.
458-Pearl Jam-Alive.
1991-Number 16 single.
Best Bit-At 3.39.The lyrics are about a boy who finds out his father is actually his stepfather and his real father is dead and to top it all off his actual mother ‘comes on to him,’-and you thought you were having a bad day!
The music was written by Stone Gossard the bands bass player and the lyrics by vocalist Eddie Vedder. The first verse about the boy finding out about his father is drawn from Vedder’s real life experiences,but the second verse about incest is pure fantasy.
The extended guitar solo at 3.39 is ranked among the very best according to many critics,(‘Guitar World’ and ‘Total Guitar.’) it is played by the bands lead guitarist Mike McCready.
‘Son she said have I got a little story for you.’
