Stone Temple Pilots (STP) es una banda de rock estadounidense que surgió en la década de 1980 y alcanzó fama mundial en los años 90. El grupo se formó en San Diego, California, en 1989. Scott Weiland, el vocalista principal, y Robert DeLeo, el bajista, se conocieron en un concierto y rápidamente descubrieron afinidades musicales. Juntos, comenzaron a escribir canciones y más adelante se les unieron Dean DeLeo (hermano de Robert) en la guitarra y Eric Kretz en la batería.
Inicialmente conocidos como Mighty Joe Young, el grupo cambió su nombre a Stone Temple Pilots por cuestiones legales antes de firmar con Atlantic Records en 1992. Su álbum debut, Core, lanzado en 1992, fue un éxito inmediato, impulsado por sencillos como “Plush” y “Sex Type Thing”. Core alcanzó la certificación de platino en numerosas ocasiones y catapultó a STP a la prominencia dentro del movimiento grunge, aunque su sonido también incorporaba elementos de hard rock y rock alternativo.
El segundo álbum de la banda, Purple, lanzado en 1994, consolidó su estatus en la escena musical. Con temas como “Interstate Love Song” y “Vasoline”, Purple no solo recibió elogios de la crítica, sino que también obtuvo un enorme éxito comercial. Esta época marcó el pico creativo de STP y los llevó a realizar extensas giras por diferentes partes del mundo.

Step out on the pouring rain
Left out on the evening train
I was just a little boy
thinking about the memories
father that you used to be
San Jose is a sun-drenched town
Your old truck with the windows rolled down
Jerry Jeff riding high on the radio
I wanna know why you had to go
Took a plane to California yeah
End of summer 1970's
Telling you that you're the man
that taught me how to sing
Why did you go
Leave me so young.. so young.. so young
Tell me things that I wanna know
Now I'm a man with a family of my own
Why'd you go and leave me in the cold
with the face in the mirror of the man I didn't know
In the desert where the warm wind blows
where'd you go when I was so alone
Those California nights would be so cold
I wanna know the man I didn't know
Now I'm the one with the radio song
The wife and kids that tell me what's wrong
I need the man in my life
who made me who I am
I don't want to lose you again
Took a plane to California yeah
End of summer 1970's
Telling you that you're the man
that taught me how to sing
Why did you go
Leave me so young.. so long.. so young
Tell me things that I wanna know
Now I'm a man with a family of my own
Why'd you go and leave me in the cold
with the face in the mirror of the man I didn't know
In the desert where the warm wind blows
where d'you go when I was so alone
Those California nights can be so cold
I wanna know the man I didn't know
Go...

Tell me things that I wanna know
Now I'm a man with a family of my own
Why'd you go and leave me in the cold
with the face in the mirror of the man I didn't know
In the desert where the warm wind blows
where'd you go when I was so alone
Those California nights can be so cold
I wanna know the man I didn't know
I wanna know
The man I didn't know.
