Eddie Vedder wrote "Long Road" alone, music and words both, and Pearl Jam put it out in 1995: a slow, brooding piece that moves at exactly the pace its title promises, more meditation than rocker. Jeff Ament holds down the bass, and Brett Eliason, who engineered the track, mixed it as well, keeping the sound spare and close so that Vedder's voice carries all the weight. On rock radio it stayed a deep cut, kept alive by one station's listeners into the 2000s.
