This is a power group for sure!

The mix of Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder's voice mixed together in this meditative track creates a sense of warmth around words that can cut like a knife.

I think I may have heard the chorus somewhere years ago, but I am not sure.

Thanks for getting into this one, it had been so long since I'd heard this. When a lot of people were on the Nirvana train, I preferred Pearl Jam. In fact, I didn't get Never Mind until much later. To get a bit philosophical, think of the odds of you being born first of all and then think of the odds of you being born where you were and living where you are. As I've gotten older, I've become more grateful for the life I've lived and live with the opportunities I continue be presented with. Again, thanks for this one. It would be pleasing for you to get into Pearl Jam and Chris Cornell's music (all projects).

As far as I know the lyrics weren’t about anything specific happening in the world at the time. (1990/1991) Just a general statement about equality and keeping a moral compass, regardless of potential gain. People or entities with wealth or who are in a position of power often exploit those dependent on them…and it doesn’t have to be that way- whether it’s a political/governmental, corporate, societal or personal situation. That’s what I get from it. You can look at it a number of ways. It makes sense that it sounds "protesty" i.e. the title of the song "Hunger Strike"👍 All the things you already said...😀 It's a relatively simple composition, but it's beautifully layered. The guitar and vocal lines are melodic, but melancholy- then switching to a minor key (I think) for the short instrumental breaks giving it a hint of darkness and urgency. In pure grunge fashion, there's no guitar solo. The dynamic of the vocal duet is just serendipitous.

When Cornell was working out the vocals, Pearl Jam was waiting to use the studio for rehearsal ....but at the time they were calling themselves 'Mookie Blaylock' after the NBA player, as Jeff Ament was a big basketball fan. Later they changed it to Pearl Jam after Eddie's grandma, but named the album "Ten" after Mookie's jersey number.
