"Brother" is a song by Pearl Jam. The song was a Ten outtake. Rarely performed, the song is available on several bootlegs but has not appeared in full form on any studio album. The song's music was written by guitarist Stone Gossard. The original version featured lyrics and vocals by Eddie Vedder.

The song was featured on the rarities compilation Lost Dogs but without any lyrics, only the instrumental parts. While the band was working on Ten the song became a point of contention between Gossard and bassist Jeff Ament. In a story described in the liner notes of the Lost Dogs album, Gossard decided he was no longer interested in playing the riff which almost caused Ament to quit the band. When it came time for the band to select tracks to include on Lost Dogs, Gossard remained uninterested in the song and Vedder decided he was no longer pleased with his lyrics. Vedder suggested to guitarist Mike McCready that he overdub some guitar parts in place of the lyrics and this is the version that appears on the album.[1]
