Far from PSD, I pressed the up volume button. Hmmmm........

It still moves me, and I've heard this song live almost 20 times and the record version thousands of times.

Again, to repeat, this song is one of the best ever. I mean that.  But at some point you just don't wanna hear it no more.

One of the hardest lessons that any teen has to learn is that love, no matter how strong someone feels it, it's the right kind of love unless someone returns it.  If the person can't love you back the same way, then it isn't love worth having.

If I could have made my 15 year old self understand that, my teenage years would have been a lot less miserable.  Effin' girls messing with a lonely teenager's heart just about broke an early me. 

Only time and distance (literally, I moved about 250 miles away) has given me the perspective to see that. 

It's funny, as a teenager I knew everything but clearly didn't understand anything.

The reason we hear this often may be that nearly 2000 listeners have rated it 8 or above, to date.

The Ten album is one of their great masterpieces, but if you explore other albums in their discography they have many more gems such as No Code (their most eclectic album), Yield, Binaural, and Riot Act! In my humble opinion they are one of the best rock and roll bands in the past 20 years!

Feel sad for the legions who lost touch with PJ after Ten and Vs.

They have consistently put out great rock and roll for the last 20 years.

With 5 songwriters that draw on a wealth of influences they have explored a wide range of styles.

They are the most amazingly tight outfit in rock and roll leading to their rep as the best live rock and roll band on the planet.
