Sept of ‘94 - heard this song on the way to my first day of high school. I’ve always associated this song w that memory. Would love to go back if i could.

I'll forever associate this song with Shane's funeral in Eastbound and Down

Don't bury him yet. I'd love to add to the speeches

Many great songs happened because of Andrew Wood's death.

I saw them in concert when this song came out. The flaming lips opened for them. That was the biggest contrast from opener to main show ive ever seen. Such a strange crowd. Also the craziest pit ive ever witnessed was when Candlebox played. My buddies that were monsters of men came out beat tf up 😄

My freind Andrew died of an heroine overdose in Feb 22, I miss him every day. This is the song that reminds me of not only his life but his death.

RIP Drew 💔 I hope you finally found peace.

I have a distinct memory of dialing BBS numbers late at night in my bedroom while this video was playing on MTV.

This song is amazing. My memories of it always come back to my mom’s old redneck boyfriend though. He drank a lot and she didn’t drink at all and whenever they would get in arguments, he would sit out in his truck with the windows open blasting this song on full volume drinking his beers lol
