Why I like this song:
As has often been the case in this list, this is a matter of the right song coming along at the right time.
For me, this song will forever define the year 2000. For me it was a pivotal year: I was entering adulthood, I was off to University and a new millennium had arrived. A time for a fresh start if ever there was one.
I will concede this may be a break up song, but I will always associate with rebirth. If I left the nineties feeling like I needed a fresh start then this is the answer I found. I've heard people associate this song - and it's parent album - with midnight and hangovers but I felt it is best suited as a morning album.
And it indeed fitting that a song I associated with rebirth was done by a band who rose like phoenix after the studio they were working in burned down.
