@wolverine9632 Жыл бұрын
My description is very similar, but it's late afternoon in early December, before the Midwest snow falls, and your dad is driving down the expressway, as he smoothly maneuvers around a white box truck in the center lane with a rear door that has a crooked handle and some of the paint flaking off, revealing the primed metal below. The extreme angle that the sun passes through this time of year casts a very orange sepia tone on everything, from the white box truck, to the interstate, to the tall tan concrete walls lining both sides of it, and even to the bare tree branches poking up over the top of the walls.

My mother used to pick me up from daycare and this was always on the radio. As I grew older it faded from memory. As I got older I joined the Navy, never really got to see my mother a lot. She came to visit me in San Diego and she was driving and all of the sudden all the memories from being a child hit me. It was weird being 21 feeling like a 3 year old again. Music is really a portal to your past memories.

He used to put a ziplock bag of cereal together so I could eat it while he takes me to school. And we’d listen to the radio. Songs like this hold those good memories of us in my head. As much as I don’t like my dad, I like those memories. I wish I could reach out to these guys and tell them. The impact they have is incredible.

One of the most memorable contributions of alt-rock to mid-90s pop. Beautifully written lyric with an innocence and openness fueled by the anger behind phrases like "am I very far, now?" followed by a snarling guitar. The idea of God as female was still relatively new in the pop mentality, and this lyric served to stretch the spiritual horizons of an entire generation. It was one of the anthems of the summer of 96.

I can still remember the sweet scent in the air of the long grass in Louisiana, my wife and I holding hands as we drove across our, then, home. That beautiful Summer day in '96 as the sun floats low in the sky and caressed us warmly when it slowly began to set. I looked at my beloved, relaxed in our little, red chariot and her angelic smile worked the magic that it always does and turned me, a hard man, into soft butter. This was the song that played for us and, for just a little while, we enjoyed our own small piece of perfection along a smooth country road as God sang for two of his children. :)

I have never shared this before and I'm sure no one will care or see this but this song was playing on the radio the night when my brother passed away at 20 years old from cancer. Every time i hear it it brings me right back to that day. Every word of this feels like it was written for him.

I'm so sorry Kasey, that must have been very difficult to bear. I hope that you have many cherished memories of him. He is with you in spirit - I'm certain of it.

This is the single greatest 90s alternative song. It is the song the can bring back many vivid memories of my childhood. No joke before this song came out my friends and i sat in my driveway counting cars. I believe i had chosen the color red that night. We also had a very deep conversation about god. When this song came out there was no doubt it defined my childhood.

This puts me in my 1990 Mustang, driving to San Antonio with my wife by my side and our six year old daughter in the back seat. Much has collapsed since then, but this remains a solid memory of a much happier time.

I would disagree. The 90's music did have heart, mind & feeling but that continued into the early 2000's. It's the early 2000's that was the last decade to have great music with with heart, mind, soul & feeling. REMEMBER many of the 90s groups continued making great music in the early 2000's.

I was really depressed when this song came out. I was listening to this song when I tried to end it all, because of a breakup with someone that I really loved. This song resonated with me at the time. I and a friend would visit and listen to this song over, and over, and over. He was having some very personal problems, his wife left him and he was listening to this song, he had it on repeat and he did end it all. The song was playing when they found him, and I often wondered if this song resonated with him more than it did with me. I hoped that it would have worked for me, but thank GOD it didn't. I am a Christian now and I believe that I will meet GOD when it is my appointed time. Thank you for this beautiful song after all these years.

Amen to that! I grew up in a friend group in the early 2000s that loved drugs and rock music. I was friends with them because of the music. Dated one of the guys for several years. He was abusive. I got out but am still fond hearted of that group because most of them were just heartbroken teenagers. I am now a devout Christian, I have a family and a great life. Many of them have been to jail and or prison. As my ex is still in prison now. This song just hits something in me. It did back then and always will.
