[edit] Lyrical meaning
Eddie Vedder about "Rearviewmirror":
We start off with the music and it kinds of propels the lyrics. It made me feel like I was in a car, leaving something, a bad situation. There's an emotion there. I remembered all the times I wanted to leave...[2]
[edit] Cover versions
An acoustic version performed by The Frogs appears on Pearl Jam's "Immortality" single.
