Release The Dreams Song Pearl Jam and Widespread Panic Mash Up

Release the Dream Song

Making Mash Ups is something I love to do. I've mashed up several Pearl Jam songs but never a Widespread Panic song. "Release Me" came out on Pearl Jam's 1991 album "10" and "Dream Song" came out on Widespread Panic's 1993 album "Everyday." Both albums are masterpieces and both these songs are the last tracks on their respective albums. I've been obsessed with both and knew that they are one another's musical soulmate and doppelganger. Enjoy "Release the Dream Song."
