I get irrationally disappointing that total garbage gets 100 million views on youtube but this amazing song written and performed by an amazing artist is relatively obscure. I love Nina Gordon!
Never got over her gorgeous voice since i heard it for the first time around late 2000, can't believe she didn't become a mega star. I guess people were too focused on Britney, Christina and the boy bands of that era to even notice her, but i certainly did.
Can't believe it's been 20 years since this song came out. The first time i heard it on the radio in SF as a young 20-something starting out on my own, I was so struck by it. I used to wait in the car for it to come on amd just sit and listen to it....this was before mp3s and youtube! Nina Gordon needs more airtime and recognition.
I don't know about the rest of her solo stuff, but I love this song. I love it when someone can shift genres like that. Veruca Salt was a kick ass punk type rock band. And this is a total departure from that. ❤
Other than the song, the best part of the video is when Conan refers to Nina as “the leader of Veruca Salt”. He knew that without Nina, there was no Veruca Salt.
I love Nina Gordon and Louise Post , Veruca Salt is the best , Nina Gordon and Louise Post are the best musicians who can always definitely bring the me out of my shell that I'm always trapped in , I never get tired of their music 🎶 🎵
💙 I 🤍 JUST 💙 WANNA 🤍 CRY 💙 I knew her like twenty years ago as I watched the third season of Charmed... and fell desperately in love with her and the song. Long before my first internet package ever... A TORTURE
Wow. I think all I listened to at college was Nina Gordon. Got through a tough times. Bittersweet memories. 😔😌 And I miss when Conando hosted the Tonight Show. (Hated it when Jay took it back. No offense to Jimmy Fallon. Love him too. ) but Conan put a smile on my face every night. And helped me get through it all too. 💗 (I now have cable so I can watch him on tbs now. )
I heard this song on a pa a few months back...I was surprised. I can't remembe where I was...a grocery store or maybe the Virgin Hotel (former the Hard Rock Hotel) in Vegas.
Amazing is how there's actually a fair amount of amateur covers of this song from the very early years of RU-vid but as far as I know there has yet to be more high-end power metal cover of this
Within Temptation could do it, but everyone else, not sure. Maybe Nightwish, but with their second singer, not the first or new one. It has to keep that perfect vocal overlap with the harmony to punch you right in the soul like she does.
Upon 2nd watch, I think I was only partially correct. Yes, that is 2/5 of the “classic” Cleo lineup (Stacy and USA)… but I think the bass player here might be the one and only Joe Klompus! He’s been with Cleo since they reunited more recently. So, really, it’s 3/5 of CURRENT Cleo! Pretty neat
This song... it's from another time and place and my guess is it just happened to her. Emotion inducing just in its epiphanous beauty. In a way i'm glad it didn't become massive, it belongs somewhere more special
I could never figure out whether her husband or Nina owned that green SG. There's video of him playing on a few live Tonic videos and most live vids of her she has it.
