Daughter (song)

"Daughter" eventually peaked at number 33 on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart, becoming the band's first top-40 single.

Guitarist Stone Gossard used a Guild wide-body acoustic guitar to write the music for "Daughter".

These kids, because they seemed unable or reluctant to learn, they'd end up getting the shit beaten outta them.

"[6] At the 1995 Grammy Awards, "Daughter" received a nomination for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.

[8] It was also played at the band's December 31, 1992, concert at The Academy Theater in New York City, where Vedder introduced the song as "Brother".

A different form of extension to the song was first introduced in the band's performance on Saturday Night Live in April 1994, just eight days after the death of Nirvana frontman and grunge pioneer Kurt Cobain.

The version of the song on Live at Lollapalooza 2007, onto which the band tagged Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)," features Vedder singing the lyrics "George Bush leave this world alone/George Bush find yourself another home".

The band discovered that some of the Bush-related lyrics were excised from the AT&T webcast of Lollapalooza 2007, and questioned whether that constituted censorship.

[11] All songs were written by Dave Abbruzzese, Jeff Ament, Stone Gossard, Mike McCready, and Eddie Vedder except where noted.

"Blood" was recorded live on November 5, 1993, at the Empire Polo Fields in Indio, California.
