That’s one of the albums (not sure if you mean the song) that’s connected to a distinct time and place in my life.  I vividly remember when it came out and anytime I hear it I’m transported back to being 22 and everything that was happening then.  It’s like a time machine for me.

Spoonman is just a beast of a track. Cool to see the parts broken out and analyzed like that.

The album. Im in love  with all of it with a special mention to fresh tendrils. Also since i read up on lyric meanings.  4th of july has become something else. C.c says its about doing acid and the  police roll up. 
Wonderfully different to what i thought.  I want to know more meanings  of lyrics on that album

Nice trivia from Wiki.

"Spoonman" was originally written for the soundtrack to the 1992 film Singles. At this time, Soundgarden, along with fellow alternative rock band Pearl Jam, was working on the soundtrack for the film. Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament had been put in charge of creating the name for a fictional band that would appear in the film. Before finally choosing Citizen Dick for its name, Ament had compiled a list of potential names which included the name "Spoonman". The name was inspired by Artis the Spoonman, a street performer from Santa Cruz, California and later Seattle, Washington, who plays music with a set of spoons.Soundgarden vocalist and songwriter Chris Cornell eventually used the names on the list to create songs for the film. "Spoonman" was among these, and an acoustic version was created from it. This early version of the song can be heard during a scene in the film in which a poster advertising a Citizen Dick show is stapled to a lightpost.

Here's Rick Beato's take

If you need something to binge watch, Rick Beato's "What Makes this Song Great" on youtube is excellent.

Yeah. But I prefer Warrens inside the song more. Don't know why though. Maybe because he produced Ace Frehleys Origins vol 1 album.

Is Rick Beato a "professional"?

Both are great. There's a video of them both talking too, so they seem to know each other.
