“Sometimes” by Pearl Jam

Eddie Vedder wrote "Sometimes" on his own, words and music, and Pearl Jam put it on No Code, their fourth album, in 1996. The record came together after the band's troubled tour behind Vitalogy, the one marked by their much-publicized boycott of Ticketmaster, and it roams wider than anything they had done before, reaching into garage rock and worldbeat.

Vedder sings lead and plays guitar and harmonica, with Stone Gossard and Mike McCready on guitar, Jeff Ament on bass and Jack Irons on drums. McCready and producer Brendan O'Brien both play piano on it, and Gossard adds background vocals. O'Brien produced the track with the band and mixed it with Nick DiDia, who recorded it.
