Comments: Well...what can I say, I can just say that this is my first
tab complete I put online. When I heard this great song from the first
time when I bought the cd, I felt that I must tab this one, but as u can
see I canīt hear some hidden chords that appears somewhere in the song.
So if I had tabbed wrong somehow, send any comment or corrections @ my
e-mail.
Good Luck with the tab!

| its about how either you can be rich and have anything you want except being loved or you can make a difference in the world by being less selfish and using your time to benefit the world somehow. when you are selfish, no one will remember you when you die because no one cares about people who dont care about people. | |

| on slovenia 2000 bootleg he tells the crowd to listen to the words from the perspective of someone graduating from college, so i think its about a young yuppie who has the world at his feet & gets a bit of cash - and then forgets what he wanted from life in the 1st place..."a man we'll soon forget" | |

| "It's a beautiful little song, sentimental and fun at the same time," Gossard said. "I think it was something that everyone in the band immediately responded to. As soon as we heard him play it, we were like, 'Oh, that's gotta go on the record.' I think Ed was just joking around." The binaural microphone is what gives the song "Soon Forget" its razor-sharp presence. Vedder, who wrote the song, accompanies himself on ukelele on the tender, humorous track. Jeff A: Well, in the recording process, when we were working with Tchad Blake, the producer, one of the techniques that he likes to use is a binaural head - which is a foam facsimile of a human head that has a microphone in each, the left and right, ear. So, supposedly its picking up music the way that a human would pick up music. And he would do all sorts of crazy stuff, like put giant plastic PVC tubes, pipes, over the ears to make it like a tunnel effect. I think the song that you can really hear it on is Soon Forget, which is just the ukulele song at the end that Ed sings. I think it's all binaural head. He's singing through a PA in the room, and you can really hear just the stereo effect of it. "Ed and Chris Cornell had talked about how hard it is to write a sad song on ukulele, so Ed took that as a challenge." (interview - Boston Globe - 5/14/00) MIKE | |
