It never gets old, definitely. Probably my Hole favorite tune of all time. People can say whatever they want about Courtney, I couldn't care less. Although I have never idolized her (or anyone else), I do appreciate her music and carrer. She's one of a kind.
This album came out while I was in college. I was always disappointed this song never got airplay. Celebrity Skin is definitely the hook but this is the best song on the whole CD.
i found the lyrics to one of the verses on an old photo from twelve years ago. Googling the lyrics made me realize I had completely forgotten how much this song meant to me a decade ago. Listening to it now, it's sweet - sentimental almost. The song itself romanticizes toxic relationships knowing they are lying to themselves as their crushes indulge their self-destructive tendencies. The amount of self-sacrificing is seen through rose-tinted glasses until the end - knowing they don't love you and are "rotten to the core" and even calling yourself out for pining over them with "empty eyes". Being able to look back on where I was when I first listened to this song compared to where I am now, I can see how awful those relationships were, but at the time I sure did think they were the most beautiful thing ever. Thanks Hole, and who knows maybe in another decade I'll view this song completely differently.
Never ceases to amaze me how this song wasn't a major hit,at least us people who realise just how good it really is can feel lucky that it is a part of our lives.Thankyou Courtney
Kurt could only dream of having such lyrical and metaphorical ease with the English language, or be as deep - male whining tends to be mistaken for such. When you're the right stereotype, you just need an ordinary amount of talent to be hailed as "great".
Hot take but facts. I've always thought if kurt was perhaps a woman he wouldn't have gotten the same recognition. Nirvana wouldn't be remembered as much as it is and i think a part of kurt knew that too since he had 'white guilt' and 'male guilt'
Underrated, deeply felt yet obscure love song, her last since then. On the other hand, All the Drugs almost worked and Nobody's Daughter has among the best songs about addiction.

EnRico that's allright. I tolerate your opinion. Courtney had the reputation of a slut in Germany. But I know that the band L7 can say more about Courtney. By the way, L7 means a tooth and I currently have a L7 tooth gap. But I like more Hole songs than Nirvana songs.

Jason Baldwin i've been saying this forever. If she wasn't who she is she would be given the success she deserves. She might be a little insane but that's what makes her and her music so true and raw.
I actually just saw something funny. I, of course loved Hole since POTI. Well, I married and had a daughter named Chloe. I didn't realize you were talking CL cuz I saw C HOLE which I then saw CHLOE! Pretty neat! 👀

This. Is. Perhaps. One. Of. The. Best. Songs. Ever. Written. So poignant. I can't listen to it without crying a little bit. Every time.
Spot on! I feel the exact same way. One of the most intense songs I've ever heard.

Its that shorus harmony, isnt it ? I get teary too lol

Couldn't agree more. This song is unreal. I can listen to it repeatedly, and it never gets old. What a brilliant composition.
@@kevincollins6566 *Courtney´s voice ( singin´ ) sometimes reminds me of ( the🔺now➖late ) Karen Carpenters*
It’s simply brilliant
This song is so beautiful I listen to it on repeat for like 30 mins.

kurt wrote alot of her songs dude. learn your history
My favorite song on this awesome CD. Never get tired of listening to this album.
Great song. I’ve loved Hole since “Live Through This.” 1994, scary how time slips away.
Just discovered this song a few weeks ago and I’m mad about all the years I wasted not listening to it.
*its a grEAt come to terms with song..?*

Amazing it needs years to recognize how good Courtney was. She is a Godness.
My life is reflectioned in her songs ... thx Courtney
*she'd wAnt you to live a bEtter life, though...*
yeah a chilli cheese burger and a small portion french fries must do

Her assaults on the industry are brilliant poetry. And never flinched from the price she would have to pay.
I remember listening to this song when I was in 12 grade; age 17 in 1999 ! 😎🤘
If CL wasn't CL, HOLE would've been huge with this album.
BTW I love CL!

this just reminds me of a time when things in the world were so much better.................we're all in the twilight zone now
Not only one of my all time fav HOLE songs, but, in my all time top 100 desert island must have playlists -- if that even makes sense lol
This will always be my favorite Hole song while remembering when I was 17 years old in high school ! 🎧🎤🎸
Nah celebrity skin was prolly the hardest/energetic alt rock album ive heard ever like deadass 🔥🔥🤘🏻🎸🖤
I play this album every night by my pool and end the night on this song as I am putting everything away.
Love this song
The best Courtney Love song of all time ! 😎🎧🎤🤍
I could never ever love any man this much. Even on the thousandth listen, my heart still breaks.
All the hells on there Harley Davidson's never ever go away
This sounds like it's about a toxic relationship.
it is.
