(Big) Hard Sun

It was goosebumps all around the first time i heard this song in the middle of the night. Eddie Vedders vocals accompanied by the great canvas that sean penn seems to have directed.
Only eddie could do this i thought.
Duly got the complete Into the Wild OST the next day. After many listens, i bumped into the tiny details that this song is actually a cover. By a band called Indio. Duly got that too. And i like eddie’s cover even more now, because it was such a good song to start with, which means anybody covering it has to do justice to it and take it to another levels. i now love eddie’s cover even more because of this. You can see the Eddie Effect. I prefer the cover actually now.
