The story behind the song

"Daughter" was released in December 1993 as the second single from Pearl Jam's second studio album, Vs. The lyrics were written by vocalist Eddie Vedder, with the music created by the band members. Guitarist Stone Gossard used a Guild wide-body acoustic guitar to write the music for the song, and bassist Jeff Ament plays upright bass on the track. Guitarist Mike McCready mentioned that his solo on "Daughter" was one he really had to sit down and work out.
