G damn, Bran Stark - if I wasn't looking at your name and "1 year ago", I'd have sworn that I typed that comment. I had a feeling this might be the case going into this song - that nostalgia might make a sharp, last minute u-turn into melancholy, but I went in anyway.

It makes me feel like my entire body is made of honey, and that honey is just spreading blissfully into the world around me, turning everything into the physical manifestitation of the feeling you get/got when your true love first crawled into a warm bed with you under the covers, and softly put their arms around you, making you feel in equal parts warmer and cooler at the same time as they held you and you felt their legs entertwine with yours..... Sorry guys, I articulate things oddly, but that's what I feel when I hear this song. lol

[@ryanchurasthemgtow7522]

This song fills me with joy, remembering my teenage years in the 90s, also incredible sadness, knowing that the 90s will never be back again.

I was a teen in the 90s too. It was unmitigated torture, all of it. Take me to the 80s before I learned how shitty the world is.

[@blackehite1292]

io penso che tutto sia legato non tanto al periodo musicale quanto alla musica che ha accompagnato la nostra adolescenza ... la musica ripristina e rinvigorisce i ricordi. Per me è stato il punk degli anni 70 (77/79)...ma non mi è mai piaciuta la nostalgia e per questo continuo ad avere curiosità per cose attuali, come per andare a ripescare cose ancora più indietro della mia nascita......

This was the first mp3 I've ever downloaded from that newfangled "Internet" thing. It was 1996 or 1997 i believe. It was at a friends' place, since I didn't have internet connection back then (that afternoon was actually the first time I've ever seen it), and wouldn't have it for another 2 years. He told me he could find me any song I want, and I asked this one since I loved it at the time. I believe we downloaded that extremely low-quality mp3 for at least 45 mins, and then he gave it to me on a floppy disk. Happy days.

@@Dani92670 no if ur going to believe the bible and u know history or u don't have to know ur history. just do a search on the seige of jerusalem in 70AD and u will find that the prophecy the bible jesus of luke 21:20 that when jerusalem is surrounded by armies then know that destruction is nigh. this prophecy was fulfilled in 70AD when titus and his armies did more than surround jerusalem they all but leveled it to the ground. that would mean a 20 year old person witnessing the bibles account of the crucifixion would only of been approx. 57 years old. and also making matt 24:34 'truly this generation SHALL NOT pass till all these things be fulfilled.' and the jesus also said, matt 16:28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom..... that would of been those christians of the bible who were behind the walls seeing prophecy happening right before their eyes. but is it any wonder the WORLD controllers don't wish for this to be known. person it is 2020. time for our VISION to also be 20/20 and see with our eyes. hey but i get it, to each there own.

I am 64 yrs old, saw The Beatles live on Ed Sullivan, saw The Doors in 1967, lived thru the 70's, Zeppelin, and 80's new wave, etc. Without a doubt the mid 90's from 1994 to about 2001 or 2002 was the single greatest 7-8 year period of music EVER. Don't ask me why, maybe it's a personal thing, maybe it's the alt rock movement in full swing by then, but I know other ppl feel the same way too....I'm not alone. This song by The Eels was in late 1996 when a ton of great alt rock was happening.

[@SeanLozano]

honestly, probably the last greatest period in music that 7-8 years .. it hasnt been the same since

[@gluserty]

I like New Wave, Retrowave, and everything in-between, and was a teenager in the era of this type of music (19 in 1996), and this particular song has always spoke to me, especially how dark things became for me in the late 1990s (less dark these days; I'm practically the welcome wagon at times😁).

My brother would agree. He's been trying to bring the 90's back...for years. Haha

I first heard this song in high school (2004 or 5ish) Such a good, simple, and catchy song. Eels are bomb!

[@colorfulcrayons1010]

This song never got old to me.

What a great song! Jo Wiley made it her Vinyl Revival album of the week, and she played this cool track!! Sounds as good as when it first came out!

I just finished your book, this song changed after reading it.... unbelievable! It already was great but after reading the backstory, it just got so much better! Love your work E! You’re awesome!

Was 14 years old when this song played on the radio. One Saturday, I remember waiting for what seemed like HOURS to get through the radio commercials and other songs, JUST TO HEAR THE INTRO AND PRESS RECORD. Lol. Take me back!!!

And the dead are judged in the Lord. Us dark ones became light. Because we were right. I've died twice, still standing.
