I'm a college Freshman (1998)...I'm sitting in the grass trying to do a sketch of the engineering building on Campus...Smoking my first Camel Light (back when smoking was cool) Listening to a DiscMan (remember those?) When this really pretty girl comes over and sits next to me... We talk and talk...it didn't work out... but this song (and album) is why I remember the moment so well. Ahh music.
Oh man, when Semisonic had such a great start... I wish that they would put out another CD. It has been a decade, hopefully they produce another that relinquishes their roots in MPLS.
also love this song forgaot all about semisonic untill yeterday when singing in my sleep poped in to my head, need to go and buy this album again as the first two have been stolen :(
It's easy to imagine such a simple and true song to be written by the one who lost their love. Hopelessness and acceptance, all in the same moment.

Sad, yet good song. I really liked this one because it was one of the first Semisonic songs to have a softer edge to it.
