Good, creative people are just fucking destroyed." Release and reception They have to live with that abuse for the rest of their lives. What hurts about shit like that is that it ends up defining people's lives. The song ends, you know, with this idea of the shades going down-so that the neighbors can't see what happens next. These kids, because they seemed unable or reluctant to learn, they'd end up getting the shit beaten outta them.

Lyrics Įddie Vedder said about the song "Daughter": Live, I kind of mix the two approaches together. It actually brought out a whole new dimension of the song for me, and it felt really fresh to me to play it like that. At first I was like, "Well.okay." so I set up a 26" kick, a snare, and an 18" floor tom, and we just used the room mic's and went for it. That was a trip, because we'd already been playing that song for half a year, and I was kind of used to what I was doing. But when we went in to record it, Brendan suggested trying something different, to just use the kick and snare. When we were originally working on "Daughter", I did a lot more stuff on the toms. Guitarist Mike McCready said, "That's one of the few solos I really had to sit down and work out." Drummer Dave Abbruzzese on his drumming on "Daughter": Bassist Jeff Ament plays upright bass on the song.

Won't you try to be my baby Just for once and then well maybe I could always be alone with you. Just to be with you one night You and me alone Kiss your lips and hold you tight Have you for my own.

This would be a joy unending Could be a real beginning How I'd love to be alone with you. (Roy Drusky - Lester Vanadore - Faron Young) How I'd love to be around you When the lonely night surrounds you How I'd love to be alone with you What I'd give to have the power To read your mind one hour How I'd love to be alone with you.
