“Thin Air” by Pearl Jam
From the album Binaural (2000)
“Thin Air” by Pearl Jam appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2005. It was first released in 2000 on the album Binaural. Its best result is #76 on The End Top 77 Pearl Jam Songs of All-Time (September 2005).
Stone Gossard wrote "Thin Air" on his own, words and music, and Eddie Vedder sings it on Binaural, the sixth Pearl Jam album, which Epic put out on May 16, 2000. All three guitarists play on it, Gossard, Mike McCready and Vedder himself, with Jeff Ament on bass and Matt Cameron on drums. Binaural was Cameron's first album with the band; the former Soundgarden drummer had taken over from Jack Irons during the 1998 Yield tour.
Tchad Blake produced it with the band, Matt Bayles engineered and Brendan O'Brien mixed. The album around it leaned experimental and atmospheric, with some tracks built on binaural recording tricks and most of them carrying somber lyrics of social criticism, and it entered the Billboard 200 at number two.
