we had our decades 30's 40's 50's 60's 70's 80's and 90's they all left an imprint on the world with fashion and music the 2000's are all water down and lame imitations of those true eras i got lucky i was in my teens in the 90's i've always wanted to dedicate this song to a girl when i was 19 such deep lyrics i'm happy i can finally do it now.
this STILL REMAINS one of my STP favs of all time. hits a spot in my life when drugs ruled my every thought process. i could not, for my life, express to my wife how i felt about her. this song exemplified my love for her at the time, but i could not tell or show her. drugs prevented that and i lost her forever.
its funny how a fairly simple guitar chord progression, a nice bass line, supportive drums & awesome lyrics can floor us but people nowadays need all this electronic bullshit to get off on music. its sad really. I always feel so alone when Im around people listening to the pop radio stations & I cant relate to them or the music because i just cant get into it.
@SC86Canuck Also I cant understand how people can just dismiss real music. it must have been so hard for older generations to get into different band or other forms of music. for us it's just a click away, we dont even have to read about it here are some things you mightbe able to get into

HE IS AN AEWESOME LYRICIST!!!! HAVE BEEN PLAYING THIS IN MY CAR ALL WEEK!!! LIVE TONIGHT ON TV. THAT WAS WEIRD...LOUNGE FLY. TRIPPIN' ON A HOLE IN A PAPER HEART... LOVE THE WHOLE BAND ALWAYS!
shawn i love you. you have been gone for so long that im forgetting you but i still hurt like it was yesterday...i dont ever want to forget you...please
@militarymom05 and the nursery rhyme ring around the rosey is about the black plague, what's your point? the song is actually a love song, that happens to make one drug reference, IF that's even the case. He could just as easily be referencing seeing his love actually pick a flower, take a deep breath of it, and that's where the memory of her fades. that moment, is what Still Remains in his mind years later. did you consider that?
@happyninja42 Gee, guess it's hard to consider that a guy who has spent most of his life (since his teens) doing drugs may have drug references in his songs. Get a grip. I didn't say the song sucked. I love the song, but I'm not as naive as a bunch of you seem to be. I also love the song "Puff, the magic dragon". But I suppose that song really IS about a lonely boy and his imaginary friend?
@militarymom05 I do have a grip thank you. Just because he makes a reference that YOU interpret as being drug related, doesnt mean that A)You're correct in your theory on what he was talking about. or B)That it's the sole meaning of the song.You said "this song is about getting high", which i think is a shallow and uninspired interpretation of the song. If you can honestly listen to all the words of that song and think he's just singing about getting high, then you are as naive as you say we are

I was 13 years old when this song came out and it still is the standard that I hold all other love songs to. This is the deepest, most beautiful love song.
this is not just a song, this is a poem... I wish i could go back to the 90s- so many real rock bands :STP, Pearl Jam, Screaming Trees, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Nirvana and more...
@thebasiasta That is so true alas, I grew up in the 80's/90's. The music in that generation was a stepping stone for today's metal/rock. without them music would not have evolved as much as it has. Nirvana was 1 of the original grunge bands, STP was amazing with lyrics, alice in chains was just out there, but his music was amazing.
@thebasiasta The 90's was the last push for truly original music. Alternative was the last gasp. Everything since then has been nothing but rehash. The Matrix was right, the world really did end in 1999.
@gjpotter There are still a few trying to make good music. Check out what Daniel Johns has done during the 2000's. Also check Beck and The Black Keys.
This is how bass is meant to sound on a record.

Was, is, and always will be the most true and beautiful of all love songs ever made.
~Pick a song and sing a yellow nectarine...
Take a bath, I'll drink the water that you leave...

ask if you can bring a friend...
Pick a flower, hold your breath
and drift away... ~
