They are all so young! I was 19 when this song came out. I saw them perform One Chord to Another live for the 20th anniversary, and even ended up in the same bar as Chris, Jay, and Patrick. Such a great night. I love Sloan so much (Michigander who listened to a Windsor radio station as a teen.)
Man, it turns out i didn't realise I've been a huge fan of every song these guys have ever put out. Lucky to have them on Canadian radio all these years. BRB, going to order their entire discography.
Its not even just my favorite sloan song. I like to think I have a pretty good variety music. I think this is the best song ever made. I'm not even the biggest Sloan fan. But seriously amazing . How Sloan gets not mainstream love.
This whole LP is a pastiche of great bands and LPs. This one screams out Zombies to me. Yes, the Zombies were not known for their horns but the lyrics are such a nod to "Care of Cell 44". Just saw the boys for the 20th Anniversary of this LP here in Victoria. What a great night.
Ooh, I've always noted the Beatles heritage of this song, but the Zombies reference, and thematically Cell 44, raises it to ...uh, 11. Good spotting, Sir!
Honestly i did not know there was a music video for this.. I would love to be in a wedding - themed music video, acting is such fun! Im sure they had a blast !
I honestly feel deeply stupid pointing out, that if Sloan had been American they'd have been relatively rich, maybe not huge, but decent. How is this even remotely worse than Sugar Ray?!
The STUPIDEST titling of a pop song EVER!!! 🤬🤬😡You know how many freaking YEARS it took me to recover this song?!? Why not “Don’t Hide Yourself Away” or “Come Home For Good?!” Lol 😂
It was pretty common in the 90s to either give a song a title that had nothing to do with the lyrics (mayonaise by the pumpkins for example-spelled wrong too) or choose a random lyric from the verses. Still messes with me too because I’m terrible with song names to begin with.
