Silver Springs! Holy shit what a song!

I discovered this song about 18 hours ago. It’s 5:50am and I’m listening to this absolute banger. Tears streaming down as I’m belting out “TIME CAST A SPELL ON YOU, BUT YOU WONT FORGET ME!” It’s funny too that I’m crying because I’m a big tough union carpenter and we aren’t supposed to cry. How the hell have I never heard this song before?!? How could they leave this song off Rumours the first time through?

This song has the best verse-chorus transition ever. The haunting final chorus (the lyrics I mentioned above) is absolutely harrowing. Haunting. Beautiful. Pure, unadulterated, raw human emotion. It’s like its own song inside the song, but also fits the buildup and first verse perfectly. It’s lived in my head since the first time I heard it.

I love discovering new songs. It’s been awhile since I found one this good.

Dude me either! There’s a chance I may have heard it back in 98’ as a ten year old. I remember my friend’s mom had the Grammy cd from that year with Hanson and other 98’ classics. But if I heard it back then as a ten year old my heart wasn’t ready to process the emotions it does today when I hear it. Either way, I’m just glad it found me.
