The song was originally recorded during the sessions for Ten with the possible intention of appearing in the film Singles. Ament said, `` The version of ' State of Love and Trust ' with Dave Krusen on drums is so much better than what ended up being released, '' and added, `` He really plays that song in the spirit it was written in. It has a much trashier, Crazy Horse feel to it. It 's awesome. '' The version of `` State of Love and Trust '' recorded during the Ten sessions appears on the 2009 Ten reissue. The version of `` State of Love and Trust '' heard in the film Singles and on its soundtrack was recorded in 1992 and was one of the first songs to be recorded with drummer Dave Abbruzzese. The same sessions also produced `` Breath '', `` Dirty Frank '', and the re-recorded version of `` Even Flow ''. Lyrics According to Ament, the lyrics for `` State of Love and Trust '' are based on what Vedder took from watching the film, and added, `` I think he probably took a heavier angle on what the movie was about than a lot of people will, but that 's Eddie, which is a beautiful thing. '' According to Cameron Crowe, director of Singles, the song is `` about battling with your instincts in love. '' Before a performance of the song at Pearl Jam 's September 8, 1998 show in East Rutherford, New Jersey at Continental Airlines Arena, Vedder introduced it as `` a song about being faithful. '' In other media In March 2009, a live version of `` State of Love and Trust '' taken from the band 's September 20, 1992 concert was made available as a downloadable bonus track for the Rock Band series for those who purchase the Ten re-release through Best Buy.
