The story behind the song

"Who You Are," from Pearl Jam's 1996 album No Code, features lyrics by Eddie Vedder and music co-written by drummer Jack Irons and guitarist Stone Gossard. The song's distinct polyrhythmic drum pattern was inspired by a Max Roach drum solo that Irons heard as a child. It’s a track that invites introspection, encouraging a deep dive into one's own identity and presence. Playing it can feel like a journey of self-discovery, finding your own rhythm amidst life's currents.
