MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1)

Back in 1991…

Seattle rock had one hell of a family tree.

Temple of the Dog with “Pushin Forward Back.”

(Music Cut #2)

As this song was happening, you could hear Seattle changing in real time.

Chris Cornell was out front, writing the lyrics.

Behind him, Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard were building the music.

And while Temple of the Dog was being recorded at night…

Ament and Gossard were spending their afternoons with Eddie Vedder in a new band called Mookie Blaylock.

In other words:

this song was happening right as Pearl Jam was being born.

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“All my kings have fallen down, I started pushin’
Fallen heroes feed the ground, I started pushin’.” – Temple of the Dog
