Can't believe this song is nearly 21 years old, such a tune.

Mad isn’t it, bought this when it first came out. Every time I put it on, friends would say who is it . Sublime doesn’t do it justice

I am a Nick Hornby fan. I love every film based on his novels. About A Boy in particular. Nicholas Hoult was perfect, Toni Collete impecable as usual, and Hugh Grant was better than never. Soundtrack is amazing and this particular song brings me back to 2002 in a blink. I also miss that time. BTW the video clip for this one is AWESOME!
@gilesjones36264 жыл бұрын
Agreed. This song transports me straight back to the early noughties. At the time I thought it was a pretty uninspiring time, but now I'm nostalgic for that period. There was a sense of optimism that I don't think we feel now unfortunately.

After my graduation day, I was not feeling very well, because after that, I knew I wouldn't see my friends for a while, when I came back home, it was 7 pm, I lock my self, and it was like magic, this song started playing in my playlist that I had on my room, I stood there for 3 minutes in silence after the song. Man I really felt my own silent sigh
