Pete Yorn (b. July 27, 1974) is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist.

Yorn started as a drummer who also played guitar. In 1990, he was drumming for his band in a high school talent contest when someone suggested he sing the Replacements song, “Talent Show.” That went over so well, a competing band asked him to sing Neil Young’s “Rockin’ in the Free World” with them.

He was first recognized when the Farrelly brothers picked “

Strange Condition” for their film Me, Myself & Irene.

He has gained increasing popularity following the use of his song “

Just Another” on popular WB television show Dawson’s Creek.

Another of his songs,

Murray was used in the credits of them film Igby Goes Down

The song “Undercover” was used in the first Spiderman movie and appears on the soundtrack.

i really, really like this. that's the only way to put it. something about it is very honest, but not too "woe is me". it gives me the vibes of just dealing with stuff and appreciating the experiance. yeah.
