I think I was first introduced to this song back in 2006, and I fell in love with it. I think I listened to it so much that I grew sick of it and forgot about it for 20 years until last week, when I was shuffling a playlist titled "I Miss 90's Indie" on Apple Music.
When it started playing, I felt myself bolt upright in my seat. I've missed this feeling, this strange haunting song, the repetitive lyrics somewhere between a dirge and a prayer. There was a time I would have thought this song was about someone, but I think it really isn't. The song doesn't feel like it's longing for someone, more like it's hoping for something terrible to finally stop.
