Less blog post, more self indulgence.
Ta daa!
There it is in all it’s 1990s angsty glory.
4 Non Blondes.
Top hat. Goggles. Dreads.
You know what?
It’s still relevant.
It’s still interesting.
It still moves me.
It’s still an excellent selection for car singing.
How do I know?
Well, since you asked…
I had to go out to return a movie to the video store tonight and while I was leaving that video store this song came on the radio and since I was already living in the past – what with the video returning and all – I decided to turn it up (loud) and sing.
Every single word.
Pure joy!
Coincidentally enough, the song is the perfect length for a drive from the video store. I mean really. It took me from door to door.
Bonus: I live on a hill and when Linda Perry sings,
“Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
I *totally* was.
Literally.
Okay, so maybe it wasn’t literally a “hill of hope”, but maybe it was.
Who’s to say? It’s a mystery, really.
Back to the song.
I still love it.
That’s all.
Goodnight!
Just yesterday, on our road trip, I found a mix CD in the car, put it on, and it had THIS SONG on it! I love this song!
How funny!
I love it, too. π
I hope you were car singing it. Please tell me there was car singing!
flicked my bic and now swaying back and forth with my eyes closed singing … okay actually I’ve just frothed a two shot latte and doing the whole back and forth thing from a chair π
Rad!
Frankly, I’d rather have your double shot latte. π
Don’t you just love it though? π
when we were kids our parents would sing the Elvis and the Beatles, and we rolled our eyes. We’ve grown up, we sing those and our own music. I do not though sing that much of the current crap.
If I were a song, I’d be singing! π
Doesn’t matter the era, genre, or “cool facta”. π
I listen to excellent music… all the time.
You find what you seek.
there is definitely crap out there being passed off as music.
I try to find the best stuff for my ears. There is a LOT of good, but you can’t wait for it to come to you. You must go and find it!
Then share the bajoopees out of it so I can find it, too and then maybe *those* artists will get more airtime and attention. π
It’s been a long time. Really long. In fact, so long that I thought I didn’t know the song. But I did. I do.
P.S. Do people still rent movies that they have to return?
Besos, Sarah
Yes. It had been a while for me, too.
Did you sing it?
Yes. Yes. Only the coolest of the people, though. π
Besos back atcha!
It’s not often I read (or hear) that someone “had to go out to return a movie to the video store tonight.” That being said, I kind of miss the novelty of picking out a video from the store…. I know that’s not the point of the post but it stuck with me. lol
Right? π
We love taking the Things to rent a DVD every now and then and our local video store has a terrific selection for everyone. Plus, the people who work there are just really cool and nice.
You should go and rent a DVD some evening for the sake of nostalgia. To us, it is a very summery thing to do! : )
Thank you so much for reading and commenting. I appreciate that a lot!
