      @@mc98smusicmoviereviews93 that's not even remotely true. "Walk on the ocean" followed all I want and was just as big, and then they had "fall down" and "somethings always wrong" from the next record which were huge singles, as well as "good intentions" from 1995 which was also pretty high up on the Billboard charts for them. And they had mini singles in between all of those that charted well but weren't quite as big. A lot of their stuff landed at college radio. They ended their major label career in 1997 with two more fairly successful alternative radio singles, "calm down" and "crazy life" before taking a 16 year hiatus from making records

    The video was filmed originally where the Elks Rodeo Grounds are, off the 101 a little south of Santa Maria. The house was looming on a hill and could be seen from the freeway. It got very decrepit and old and was moved though some time in the late 90’s/early 2000’s to another city. I assumed it was torn down eventually but I didn't give up. A few long hours of emailing and replying and I found its present location. It is actually a winery venue and got restored. You can have a wedding party in the house itself. The venue is called Crossroads Estates and its in Los Olivos. Here is a map to where the exact location is today. Here is a link to the location on Google Maps: goo.gl/maps/UHfwnCSYPxGWZh5T8
    Here is a photo of what the house looks like now: www.theweddingstandard.com/blog/ellery-amp-raig-weddingnbsp/gallery/169704/

    I am now convinced that Ed Sheeran ripped this song off for Castle On The Hill. The odd thing is that makes me respect Sheeran all the more because this is a damn good song.
    "When I was six years old, I broke my leg" "Bradley took a spill, said his leg was broken so we rolled him down the hill"
    "Take me to the castle on the hill" "Bradley said it's haunted, the house up on the hill"
    I mean, that's all I have to go on for now but the similarities are uncanny. Love TtWS btw, they're so slept on.

    Is It for Me
    Toad the Wet
    Album: Fear
    Bradley says it's haunted
    The house upon the hill
    And if we meet at four a.m.
    Then we would know for sure
    We carry the ladders
    And lean them against it
    And climb them as we look
    Someone kicked a ladder
    Bradley took a spill
    Said his leg was broken
    So we dragged him down the hill
    And through the door
    What do I see?
    Something is happening
    Is it for me?
    Is it for me?
    Mom found out the whole thing
    Mine was first to call
    Bradley's leg healed badly
    At least he still can walk
    We leave in the morning
    And no one will hear us
    And meet in the clearing
    And I'll bring the sandwiches
    David come quickly
    You're missing the whole thing
    Now open your big eyes
    And take in the sunrise
    And through the door
    What do I see?
    Something is happening
    Is it for me?
    Through the door
    What do I see?
    Something is happening
    Is it for me?
    Is it for me?
