      @@burtmcaster4739Dead wrong. People who lived in the 90s knew precisely how special a time they were in musically. This song is proof - Oleander accomplished this masterpiece, yet this was “just another song on the radio” back then. It was a very special time.

    This popped up on a Spotify Playlist and I have to say it's perfect for my life right now, totally forgot this song. Left everything I knew because of a woman and started working resorts to get away. I kept holding on to her then I heard this and it's spot on. Somehow the lyrics just hit something inside and is perfectly relatable

    It's rare when a live performance of a song is even better than the studio version with all of the hours of editing and mixing to get it just right, but as good as the studio version of this song is... This is even better. Fantastic live performance by a very underrated band.
