Song title: Hail Hail
Artist: Pearl Jam
Year: 1996
Why I like this song:
I was still into Pearl Jam in 1996. And this was their middle period, which started with Vitalogy and ended with Last Kiss. It was during this time that they made all kinds of deviations that, may have come across as baffling.
As for No Code, it certainly was loaded up with all kinds of experimentation but a highlight was this: a song that, ironically, resembles the fury that Pearl Jam had made their name for.
Thing is, it still strikes me how hopeless and defeatist the lyrics are ("All hail the lucky ones..."). Granted that may be more my interpretation but still...
