If you don't think song is hauntingly beautiful then go look in a mirror---see that person in the mirror? That's what an idiot looks like.
I quote lines from this the way junior high English teachers quote Shakespeare. The musical accompaniment is awesome & lyrically awesome---and with a moral to boot. As a parent, I think EVERY parent should play this for their kids, expecially heading into the formative teen years and make sure THEY GET IT!
This song reminds me that I shouldn't "be" for anyone else. I feel it's an anthem for those of us that don't believe in ourselves and think that there's more reasons to be sad than to groove on life. Hang out with urself & get with to know that sknarly person that u are! P.S. sknarley means Super Knarley!
I remember when this song came out, was one of my favs. They played it on the raido it seems for 6 months then lost the cd and after remembering the tune I found it again! thank you for posting it!
Im going through a very rough time in my life now, and this song popped into my head, I couldnt find it in my cd collection, not on itunes anymore. But it was a beautiful song, and still is. The real meaning puts all my problems into perspective. Thank you guys.
My wife just lost her uncle last week. Not of AIDS, but this song just reminds me of his joy of life. How it speaks to me makes it special for every loss. Just a perfect song for that mood. Buy Exit the Dragon...its a hidden jem

This is one of those great songs that almost no one knows about or remembers. It's stuck with me for almost twenty years.

No Alternative came out during a great time for music, which was also during my early 20s. I loved this song, definitely best one on the album.

The whole "No Alternative" compilation is good, but this is hands down the best song on it. I loved it in 94 and I love it now.
