yeah, this ignorant racism needs to end, most of the prostitutes i pick up are black and not only do they do more but, god, there so much cheaper... when will the world just understand
i didn't know they made videos for these songs! i loved this album (sparkle and fade) and listened to it repeatedly! but i never knew there were videos made for most of those songs. this album did come out while i was stationed overseas in the military so maybe that's why i never seen them before!
dude's always singing about blck folks. Remember the song Father of Mine? Is he married to a black chick? lol. anyway, love this, love everclear. they make me wish for the 90s again.
This is sooo cute! I don't know why I linked to it, but I like it.
It is sometimes hard being in an IR relationship....even just dating, cause people are still amazingly narrow-minded. I wonder if it will ever completely get better.
hey definitely are underrated, they should be 10 times bigger. Also this song hits home for me. My ex is black, and my family never wanted me dating her, but I didn't care. Even though it ended, there is something special about that kind of relationship. Kind of causes a deeper love than other relationships.
@shoremenrocker I 100% cosign on this" Kind of causes a deeper love than other relationships. " I guess it's because of all the negativity coming your way from society, family, work etc. It makes being together that much better, stronger, sweeter, sexier. I don't care I know what I want and what makes me happy and I will not let anyone dictate otherwise....Love this vid!
I am still confused about what's going on with the fat guy that takes pictures of them, and then gives them money. It doesn't seem to be pornographic, since they're both still wearing clothes, and they seem almost happy afterwards.
Is it a comment on how people see their relationship as so out-of-place that it feels like people are taking pictures of them in public when they stare at them? That doesn't really explain the money, though.
This song is the shit!! i once had a black girlfriend and they (Everclear) touched all bases on what happens when you date outside your race. also, Art was on Heroine real bad when he wrote this and that drug use had so much influence on his song writing. now that he's clean, Everclear has went down the tube. they suck now.
dating a black girl is hard at first. It's been my experience that their friends give them unending shit about dating a white guy. That's just my experience, though. I live in the south and it's still racist sometimes and it goes both ways
Im not tryin to troll or cause problems on teh internetz, but wouldnt "My black girldfriend" have been a cool name too? i mean, i always thought that the tagline would be the best name for most songs.
I dont know what it is about this album but every time I listen to it it gives me that APPLE PIE ALL AMERICAN feel. I know there is always talk of 80s artists being that "all american" music but I have to admit that Sparkle and Fade is the 90s alternative ALL AMERICAN music.
at 1:37 dad caught them making love on the couch. he doesn't like the black girl. To make them feel horrible he took pictures of them and threw money at them. he wouldn't have if she'd been white. hence the reason it is in the vid.
underated..not really. They were huge in the 90's and still remain favorites with there older fans. Theyve had there share of success and even more. Underated is for band like Muse or Yeah yeah yeahs that are amazing but still havent gone on to have that full mainstream success that Everclear has had.
@kshark18 i completely agree, there is no point in being ignorant, nothing good comes from it, i went through a racist stage, im ashamed to admit it but i did, but i think it acctually helped me see the real good in people, i no longer see skin tones, i see the people, cause there is good and bad people of any race
great song and video from the heroin days of Art Alexis. since the post heroin Art has emerged, Everclear's writing talent has gone down. but there still is the sparkle and fade albulm to fall back on.
i love Everclear. almost all their songs have alot of meaning to me. this one not so much since i am not subjecct to abuse because of an interracial relationship, but i still get it.
