Chris Cornell wrote "Your Saviour", words and music, for Temple of the Dog, the one-album band that paid tribute to his late roommate Andrew Wood, the Malfunkshun and Mother Love Bone singer who died of a heroin overdose in March 1990. The Soundgarden frontman took songs he'd written on tour in Europe to Wood's old Mother Love Bone bandmates Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament, and Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron, lead guitarist Mike McCready and a newcomer named Eddie Vedder filled out the lineup. Vedder sings background vocals on this one.
Rick Parashar produced it with the band for their only studio album, which A&M released in 1991 and which has since gone platinum. McCready and Vedder were in the room because Ament and Gossard were already building their next band with them, the one that became Pearl Jam.
