Pearl Jam - In The Moonlight
This is a great track written by drummer Matt Cameron, which always get stuck in my head once I hear it.
It was recorded during Binaural, but didn’t make the cut. It saw the light of day on the rarities compilation Lost Dogs in 2003.
It’s always been one of my favorite tracks off of Lost Dogs, it’s extremely catchy and is very much classic rock.
Over time I’ve discovered other versions of “In The Moonlight”. There is a Matt Cameron demo and also a rough mix from the Binaural sessions. It’s very interesting to hear the evolution of the song.
Matt’s demo is very 60’s garage rock, and it’s pretty cool to hear him singing.
The rough mix somewhat maintains that 60’s garage rock vibe, but it has Eddie now on vocals, some finished lyrics and some nice guitar work.
The version on Lost Dogs is almost too polished, when compared to the demos, but there are some nice harmonies on this version. It’s still a great track.
