Eddie Vedder wrote "Insignificance" alone, words and music, for Binaural, Pearl Jam's sixth album, released by Epic on May 16, 2000. The record came out of a rough stretch for the band: Vedder was wrestling with writer's block during the sessions, and Mike McCready went into rehab for an addiction to prescription drugs.
Tchad Blake produced it with the band, Matt Bayles engineered, and Brendan O'Brien mixed. Vedder plays guitar here next to Stone Gossard and McCready, Jeff Ament is on bass, and Matt Cameron, the former Soundgarden drummer making his first album with the group, drives it from behind the kit. The album around it leans experimental, dabbling in binaural recording, heavy on atmosphere and heavy of heart, its somber lyrics aimed squarely at society.
