“Evidence” by Faith No More

Faith No More leaned toward soul and R&B on "Evidence", a cut from King for a Day… Fool for a Lifetime, their fifth studio album, and Slash sent it out as the record's third single in May 1995. It came from a band in flux: they had recently fired guitarist Jim Martin, and keyboardist Roddy Bottum was away grieving several recent deaths.

The music is credited to Mike Bordin, Billy Gould and Trey Spruance, who also plays the guitar, with Mike Patton writing the words. Andy Wallace produced it with the band at Bearsville Studios and mixed it too, and Walter Stern directed the video. America mostly shrugged, but it hung around the charts for weeks in the UK and Australia, and critics have warmed to it since.
