Nineties Revisited: Heartspark Dollarsign


Original video located here. Accessed 8th April 2016

Song title: Heartspark Dollarsign

Artist: Everclear

Year: 1996

Why I like this song:

Being a teen in the mid-nineties, Everclear seemed like the biggest act around: They had some spectacular songs and could draw in big crowds. So they made an impression on my teenaged mind - not bad for bad fronted by a guy in his early thirties...
Still credit to Art: he had the experience of a life lived and it came through in his songwriting. And props to him for tackling a lesser-traversed subject as interracial romance. And standing defiant against the forces that would dare split that romance apart.
