"The story of the song is that a mother is with a father, and the father dies.
In 1993, Vedder told Cameron Crowe what "Alive" was about for him: It was a "mini opera" he titled Mamasan featuring "Alive," "Once," and "Footsteps." Vedder raced back to his apartment and taped himself singing over three of the songs. I was literally writing some of these words as I was going up against a wave.”
I was really getting focused on this one thing, and I had this music in my mind at the same time. "I went surfing in that sleep-deprived state and totally started dealing with a few things that I hadn’t dealt with. “When you haven’t slept for days, you get so sensitive that it feels like every nerve is directly exposed," Vedder later explained. In September 1990, while working the graveyard shift at a Chevron tank farm in San Diego, former Bad Radio frontman Eddie Vedder heard the instrumental demos made by Stone Gossard, Mike McCready, Jeff Ament, and drummer Matt Cameron for the first time (he got the tape from former Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Jack Irons). Here are some facts about one of the best-selling rock albums of all-time. Vocalist Eddie Vedder famously heard instrumental demos of what would become worldwide hits and came up with the famous lyrics while riding some San Diego waves. The album was a collaboration between former Mother Love Bone guitarist Stone Gossard and bassist Jeff Ament who, after the tragic death of their singer, Andrew Wood, regrouped and started playing again-this time with guitarist Mike McCready and eventually drummer Dave Krusen. It would take a couple of hit singles and over a year for Ten to reach number two on the Billboard chart, but it did, and eventually sold more than 10 million copies. Ten, Pearl Jam's debut studio album, was released on August 27, 1991-at the tail end of the summer before the term "grunge" would enter the popular lexicon.
