Origin and Recording
"In Hiding" features lyrics written by vocalist Eddie Vedder and music written by guitarist Stone Gossard. As shown on the DVD, Single Video Theory, Gossard brought the guitar riff for the song to the band after recording it on a microcassette recorder, while Vedder held off on writing lyrics for the song until late in the album's recording sessions. Drummer Jack Irons said, "I like "In Hiding" a lot...It's like a band track. It sounds like five guys just played a track together and I think that's pretty much what happened." Guitarist Mike McCready said, "Just something about it that strikes me. Even in the earlier demo stages when I heard it I knew it was something that had to happen."
