“Arc” by Pearl Jam
From the album Riot Act (2002)
“Arc” by Pearl Jam appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2005. It was first released in 2002 on the album Riot Act. Its best result is #56 on The End Top 77 Pearl Jam Songs of All-Time (September 2005).
"Arc" turns up on Riot Act, Pearl Jam's seventh studio album, released on Epic in 2002, and it belongs to Eddie Vedder, its sole composer and the voice on the track. The band had taken a year off after the full-scale tour behind Binaural and regrouped early in 2002. Adam Kasper produced it with the band and recorded it, Sam Hofstedt engineered, and Brendan O'Brien did the mix.
Riot Act roams wide, into folk, art rock and experimental corners, and it's shadowed by mortality: the lyrics wrestle with existential questions, colored by the political mood after the September 11 attacks and by the nine fans who died in an accident while Pearl Jam played the 2000 Roskilde Festival. It was also the band's last album of all-new songs for Epic.
