I saw The Cranberries live in 1995 at Red Rocks in Colorado for my 14th birthday. This album came out a year later. It wasn't my favorite of theirs but this song has always stuck with me. I've always loved Dolores O'Riordan's voice. I still feel such a loss that she passed at 46. Way too soon.

Ferrell's stunning vocals, creates a truly mesmerizing and otherworldly atmosphere. Her lyrics, are emotive and relatable. It's yet another song I've stumbled upon and felt like it described what I'm experiencing. The instrumentation, is simple and soulful, and perfectly complements the mood of the song.

Just how I like em. To me, this song has a sound that is reminiscent of early 2000s bands like The White Stripes and The Strokes. There's probably a more appropriate band that they sound like, but I can't come up with it right now. High energy and guitar driven, it kind of makes me wish I could go back in time for a night and party a bit like I did in college. 

Every time I hear it, it takes me back. And, I feel like it's a song everyone has heard but maybe not. This song and this time of year always makes me a bit sentimental and reflective. I think a lot about how yet another year has flown by. How the 90s seem like they were only 10 years ago. How so much can change in a year but still, so much can stay the same. And, how time keeps marching on.

I posted SO MANY songs this year. I'm actually thinking about doing things a little different for this coming year. Maybe post a song a month but do my own design for their album art? I don't know. Just thinking out loud over here. 

Happy New Year everyone :)
