Answer: Tones of Home

This song was the first single released from the self titled album. Brad wrote the last verse, Rogers wrote the middle verse, and Shannon wrote the first verse. So the song is sort of about their collective view of leaving their repressed, conservative environments and becoming more aware. This song reached #10 in the Mainstream Rock Chart and #20 in the Modern Rock Chart. There were two videos made for the single. It was recorded at London Bridge Studios in Seattle, WA sometime during 1992.

Answer: I Wonder

The song is about Shannon's experiences in drug rehabilitation. There is a line in the song "rockin' back and forth's my life", and in the song Soup he uses the line "I want that rocking chair outta there
Cause he's no longer living here It's no longer needed here". Its always been my opinion that the line in Soup was Shannon's declaration of sobriety to himself after Kurt passed away. This song was recorded at London Bridge Studios in Seattle, WA sometime during 1992.

"Jimmy, we need to borrow this for a minute ..." is probably referring to Jimi Hendrix, because right after this verse they play a very well known riff from Jimi's song "Manic Depression". This song was recorded at London Bridge Studios in Seattle, WA sometime during 1992.
