'Singles Soundtrack' Set
|
Alice In Chains // Would? (1992)
|
"Would?" was originally written by AIC guitarist Jerry Cantrell following the death of his friend Andrew Wood of Mother Love Bone from a heroin overdose. It would later appear on the band's second studio album "Dirt" also released in 1992 and go on to be one of the band's most signature songs.
|
Pearl Jam // Breath (1992)
|
"Breath" is a song that originated as an instrumental demo called "Doobie E" written in 1990 by Stone Gossard. The re-recorded version featured on the soundtrack features lyrics written by Eddie Vedder and was one of the first songs to be recorded with drummer Dave Abbruzzese.
|
Chris Cornell // Seasons (1992)
|
Cornell’s moving acoustic solo contribution to the Singles soundtrack grew out of a piece of fiction: a solo cassette made by Matt Dillon’s Cliff Poncier character and Citizen Dick band member. Cornell took it upon himself to actually write songs for the tape, including this reflective ballad.
