A song that you discovered on a film soundtrack.

I absolutely love the songs State of Love and Trust and Breath by Pearl Jam. Singles was already a cult classic by the time I became a fan of the band and those two songs were only officially released through the soundtrack prior to Rearviewmirror, their greatest hits album.

One of my favorite memories is watching Pearl Jam play State of Love and Trust live and my friend turning to me to say "I think I'm the only person here who doesn't know every word of every song."
