Popular songs by pearl jam4/16/2023 ![]() One part of that process is just the enthusiasm people have for it, and you want to rally for other people’s songs and also hope that other people are going to rally for yours. So everyone has four or five songs that are possibilities and then those just keep getting narrowed down. SG: I think everyone has 10 each, and there are probably four or five of them that get demoed up. It has this sort of swampy feel and I particularly like the intro, I really like that sort of twangy, pull-off sort of thing that you can’t really figure out.ĪVC: So how does the songwriting process work nowadays? You mentioned a song that Jeff brought that didn’t end up getting used-does everyone bring a chunk of songs and you whittle it down? So, that’s Jeff Ament’s tuning, he came up with that. So I learned how to play his song and my guitar was sitting around in that tuning, and a couple days later I just picked it up and started playing “Let The Records Play,” and I was like, “Jeff, I stole your tuning!” So it ended up working out. ![]() At first he said, “Oh, it’s just a drop-D tuning,” so I went home and tried playing it for ages and was like, “How does he play it? I don’t understand.” And then two days later, he’s like, “It’s this tuning” and he showed me, and all the strings were totally different than I had originally thought. That song’s funny, because the backstory is that Jeff Ament wrote another song for the record-Jeff wrote a lot on this record-but he wrote this song and had this tuning. It serves a good purpose on the record, and it’s refreshing a little bit. It’s not my favorite song on the record I like it a lot and I’m glad it’s on there. ![]() Well, I think that song’s good, but I don’t think it’s a standout. I wanted to stick with your songs for this interview. Did you know I wrote that one?ĪVC: I did. Stone Gossard: It’s funny that you picked that one.
