    At 17 yrs old, I was fortunate enough to see them in 1996.
    This was one of my favorite songs back then.
    Little did I know how powerful it was.
    I’m now 9 years sober off heroin.
    It still blows my mind to hear this song now.
    In my opinion, 1 of the best songs in the 90’s!

      Fall 95-end 1996 was pretty hard on many generation Xers. We had our music but we had our habits. I basically spent a whole year awake. Got introduced Crystal Meth in college 1995. Lost baseball scholarship, was in rehab a year later. Thank god I had parents that cared. I turned 19 June96.

      "The song's content originates from Sam Bettens' previous experiences with drugs and his views on substance dependence. He explained in an interview that he was addicted to cigarettes and experimented with acid and mushrooms but never tried any hard drugs, fearing that it would make him lose touch with his self-control."
      Yeah, definitely not about drugs.
      But I'd also like to add that there were much bigger anti-dope songs in the 90's. It was kind of the thing. Interstate Love Song by STP, Semi-Charmed Life by 3EB, just about every other song by Arrested Development....

Either way, She came out on top and never looked back. That's something to be very proud of, maintaining her sobriety. I saw her when she looked just like this in the video. Times have drastically changed for her who is a him now and goes by "Sam". I only wish the best for anyone in this rough and tough world. Good Luck Sam!!!
