I must say, this song was a lot more challenging for me to play and sing than I originally thought it would be. I now have a whole new appreciation for how great Bradley Nowell was. Not just as a singer, but as a song writer and guitar player. So sad that he died so young just as his career was starting. In fact, he died before this song and that great album they did were even released back 1996. So many great songs on that album (Santeria, What I Got, Wrong Way), but he never got to hear any of them on the radio.
As a footnote, his son is now the following his father's footsteps and singing for Sublime and doing a great job at it. Catch his version of Santeria - Live At Coachella 2024 on RU-vid.
