"Even Flow" by
Lyrics
Freezin' rests his head on a pillow made of concrete again ooh yeah
Oh feelin' maybe he'll see a little betters any days ooh yeah
Oh hand out faces that he sees come again ain't that familiar
Oh dark grin he can't help when he's happy he looks insane
Even flow
Thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh he don't know, so he chases them away
Someday yet he'll begin his life again
Life again, life again
Kneelin' looking through the paper though he doesn't know to read, ooh yeah
Oh, prayin', now to something that has never showed him anything
Oh, feelin', understands the weather or that winters on its way
Oh, ceilings, few and far between all the legal halls of shame, yeah
Even flow
Thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away
Someday…'

"The band had the music for this song before Eddie Vedder joined. The first instrumental demo was recorded in August 1990 with Michael McCready, Stone Gossard, Jeff Ament and Matt Cameron (Cameron was with Soundgarden at the time, but agreed to play on this demo). Vedder joined the band in October and wrote the lyrics about a homeless person who is neglected by society. "Even Flow" was one of 10 songs they recorded the first week he flew in to Seattle to record with his new band.
An alternate version was released as a UK single and is different than the album version. Eddie Vedder yells "Ha!" to start the song, and at the end, says, "I died, I died and you just stood there. I died and you watched me. I died and you walked by and said, 'No, I'm dead.'" This version is often the one played by US radio stations. It was also the one used for the video.
Pearl Jam used to be known as Mookie Blaylock, named after a very good, but not-so-famous basketball player. Blaylock was a star at the University of Oklahoma and in his second season with the New Jersey Nets when the band used his name after coming across his trading card. They named this album Ten because that was his number. Blaylock played 13 seasons in the NBA, making the All-Star team in 1994 and the All-Defensive team twice.
Drummer Matt Cameron told The Line Of Best Fit that this is his favorite track on Ten. He explained: "When I was in Soundgarden and we were making Badmotorfinger, Eddie brought up the mixes to Ten and I distinctly remember hearing the chorus for "Even Flow" and thinking that's HUGE. So hooky, it's got a really rad Zeppelin huge rock feel to it. Although we've played it a couple of thousand times since I've been in the group I think that's the quintessential Pearl Jam song. Even though it gets played out, the nuts and bolts of that song are just amazing. Oceans is also a fantastic song. Super fun to play."
Ten was Pearl Jam's first album. They were very efficient in the studio, getting most songs done in just a few takes, but "Even Flow" was an exception, requiring at least 50 takes. Pearl Jam was a band with itinerant drummers, and Dave Krusen, who was their stickman at the time, had a hard time with this track. Said Krusen: "They had to edit the middle because I was speeding up at the end. It was just a nightmare."
Pearl Jam first performed this live at the band's October 22, 1990 Seattle concert at the Off Ramp Café. It has gone on to become the band's most performed live song,
Stone Gossard told Uncut magazine that when Pearl Jam played this at an early gig, Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil said that he loved the song, which he mistakenly thought was titled "Evening Flow." He thought it was "about how the evening just sort of flows along when everybody's having a good time." >>
Mike McCready told Guitar World he was emulating the late Stevie Ray Vaughan with his guitar solo on this track, which the magazine named the #6 greatest wah solo of all time on its 2015 list."
