"State of Love and Trust" is a song by the grunge band Pearl Jam. It first appeard on the soundtrack to the 1992 film Singles. The song was one of the first to be recorded with drummer Dave Abbruzzese. The same sessions also produced "Breath" and the re-recorded version of "Even Flow". The song also appears on Pearl Jam's greatest hits album, Rearviewmirror: Greatest Hits 1991-2003. However, the version on the greatest hits album is an alternate mix that was featured in the movie and not the one that was featured on the soundtrack.
When "State of Love and Trust" was performed by Pearl Jam at the MTV Singles Scene movie release party, lead singer Eddie Vedder interjected expletives into the song's lyrics so that it would not become a hit. Clips from the studio version were spliced into the performance by Brendan O'Brien so that it could air on television.[1]
[edit] Lyrical meaning
The lyrics for the song are based on what lead singer Eddie Vedder took from watching the film.[2]
