Alive by Pearl Jam FBFC #385

The music for this song was written by guitarist Stone Gossard before the band had a lead singer. It was part of a three song instrumental demo they made while looking for a vocalist and drummer. Jack Irons, a friend of Gossard's who played drums in The Red Hot Chili Peppers, was approached about joining the band, but he had another commitment. He thought Eddie Vedder might be a good fit as the singer, so he gave Eddie the demo tape. At home in San Diego, Vedder wrote lyrics and added his vocals to the song using his four-track recorder. The band liked what they heard and made him lead singer. Great song and fbfc. Nice job everyone.
