Pearl Jam's 12th studio album, Dark Matter, was released on Friday, April 19, and looks set to be another huge hit for the Seattle band. One prominent US personality however might take umbrage at one particular song on the record.
On a surface reading, Wreckage, the latest single released from the album, could have been written about the aftermath of a divorce. But reading between the lines, with lyrics such as “Visited by thoughts on another darkened week, how even every winner hits a losing streak”, it becomes obvious that vocalist/lyricist Eddie Vedder is alluding to a certain sore loser in US politics, a fact he has confirmed in a new [paywalled] interview with UK newspaper The Sunday Times.
