Twenty years later, McCready says the Singles soundtrack is the one record he has up on his wall at home in Seattle. ‘I remember writing “State of Love and Trust” with [Pearl Jam bassist] Jeff Ament,’ he laughs. ‘I remember stealing the riff from some guy at a party somewhere here in Seattle. Well, just that one chord. The riff I came up with, but the one chord—it’s like a C chord where the A is—I had never seen that before. I didn’t steal it, I _appropriated_ it.’
