Full disclaimer, I’ve decided to take a dive into some nostalgic music, the first of which will be from the latter half of my youth, then I’ll progress backwards. So a lot of this will not be metal as I didn’t become a metalhead until High School. (Metalheads, ye be warned.)
Why am I doing this? Nostalgia is a very powerful/emotional evocative state of mind. There were many artists who were criminally underrepresented during the early outbreak of the Boy Band Wars. This was one of them.
When to Listen: As I said, this is nostalgia for me. Listening to nostalgic songs is great when you’re writing about a time period you remember and want to capture fondly. For me personally, listening to this song reminds me of walking along the streets of Boston during a typical overcast day during the mid-90s, right when the last cultural impacts of the 80s were all but faded away.
