Michigander. Maybe a poet? But track record says I’m a poser.
Listener of music. Reader of books. In summer see me at Lake Michigan a lot offering the appearance of being hip because I am wearing sunglasses. 🏳️🌈 Gen X for life.

So many songs could have been here. This is the one that I kept coming back to. The first 7 minutes are 90s musical architecture. The last minute or so is like floating in space.

1995. Some songs are forever tied to time/place/people. This song is one. Life is short.
I think about you all the time
But I don’t need the same
If it’s lonely where you are, come back down
I won’t tell ‘em your name

The janky guitar intro pulls you in and the sonic layers and lyrics keep you mesmerized. Heard first in 1993 on a Sony Discman.

By 1994, Pearl Jam had already become perhaps the biggest band in the US and one of my favorites. This album released and cemented their status. This song was instant excellence. Never released as a single.
