The vocal debuted and peaked at number two on the Billboard Stone Songs chart and reached number three on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart.

Origin and recording [edit]

"The Fixer" features lyrics written by singer Eddie Vedder and music co-written by drummer Matt Cameron and guitarists Mike McCready and Stone Gossard.^{[four] [5]} Cameron wrote the bulk of the vocal's music in 2008,^[half-dozen] while Gossard and McCready would end upwards writing the song's bridge.^[5] In an interview with Rolling Rock in February 2009, Vedder discussed a song matching the description of "The Logroller". Vedder stated, "That could accept been a 7-infinitesimal, weird, sideways kind of artsy song with a cool groove...I tinkered with information technology afterwards everyone left, and nosotros shrunk it down and turned it into something else....I'm thinking about set lists: 'Will this exist a song we'll play every nighttime?'."^[7]

Gossard on the song:

With that song, Matt came in with a riff and we worked out a few different arrangements. Then Ed took it and re-bundled it with Pro Tools, to become the parts he needed in the right place. You don't want to become a last organization for a vocal before he's had a take chances to spiral effectually with it, considering once he gets it, information technology can all alter. What you lot idea was a chorus can end up being a verse. There was a existent collaborative attempt on the whole album. Ed, in particular, worked with everyone on their songs.^[8]

Composition [edit]

"The Fixer" is equanimous in the fundamental of D major, and uses odd fourth dimension signatures and switches between them regularly throughout the vocal. The song starts in 5/iv, then switches to vi/4 for the verse, while the chorus and span are both in 4/iv. Gossard stated, "Information technology'southward relatively straightforward, simply it has Matt'southward love of odd time. It besides breaks back down to something very three-chord and fun. We need that. If Pearl Jam is thinking too much, we're not very good. Nosotros're much ameliorate when nosotros're not thinking."^[8]

Gossard on the song:

I remember the ring definitely progressed and did some things we oasis't done before. When people talk about "popular" I recall it'southward about a simplicity of tune and a simplicity of arrangement that doesn't over complicate a practiced idea or a slap-up lyric. I think "The Fixer" is a great example. Y'all really hear something about Eddie'due south personality in the lyric and yous become a view that a lot of people don't become from him which is a sort of optimistic and playful melody and lyric.^[9]

Lyrics [edit]

Commenting on the proffer that he is "The Fixer" referred to in the vocal's championship, Vedder stated, "My answer is, aren't we all? Possibly I'm wrong to think that, but it seems similar we are...I'm thinking more on a worldview or a community view."^[8]

Vedder on the vocal:

Men, nosotros all call up we can set anything. It's not necessarily a skillful thing. In a relationship, a woman will say 'This is wrong,' and we're like, 'I'll fix that, don't worry about it, we can fix it.' These wonderful people, the woman you're in a human relationship with, they don't want you to fix it. They just want you to listen to what'south happening: 'Don't fix it, I want you to own this with me—feel information technology.' This is a reminder vocal to me, to end fixing.^[10]

Critical reception [edit]

Stephen M. Deusner of Pitchfork said in his review of the song that "neither the ring nor Brendan O'Brien has a low-cal bear on for this sort of classic stone-oriented popular...Vedder, whose default is tortured defiance, tin't help simply add too much gravity to these lyrics, as if fixin' things was an obligation instead of a calling. They work besides hard here trying to have fun."^[12] Jessica Letkemann of Billboard said in her review of the song that it is "shot through with optimism at a level not seen since Pearl Jam's 1998 Yield." She added that "with Vedder mixed down amid Rock Gossard and Mike McCready's warm guitars and the pharynx-ripping moments of his delivery somewhat muted, there'due south a sense of reserve that makes 'The Fixer' a tease for hearing PJ in its uninhibited natural setting: alive."^[13] Josh Modell of Spin said that "'The Fixer'...[exploits] Pearl Jam's leanest, punkest tendencies...when Eddie Vedder pulls out that indignant yet inclusive snarl and proclaims, 'When something's gone, I wanna fight to get it back over again,' you can probably assume 'it' is his band'southward mojo."^[xiv] In his review of Backspacer, Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone magazine said, "There's a definite positivity to the 'yeah, yeah, yeah' choruses that leap out of 'The Logroller', which evoke the old openhearted vulnerability of 'Wishlist'."^[15] In its review of Backspacer, The Guardian stated that "when Eddie Vedder yells of a 'fight to get information technology back over again' on 'The Fixer', he is surely referring to the band rediscovering their mojo."^[16]
