Was 12 when I 1st heard this on the radio been my favorite band ever since, Eliza's performance on this song also introduced me to another favorite band The Beaches

[@Kismeta]

Good taste! And you just introduced ME to The Beaches, who I already love! thanks for this

[@B1RKSY]

So glad it turned out well for these lads. Love them to death (from above)

[@EderPaz]

That girl drummer stole my heart

[@rileyk5228]

Eliza is badass

[@kevinclarke9406]

Loudest gig I have been to in 50 years was DFA 1979 in London many many years ago. Within 3 secs of them starting - instant mosh pit of death!

[@octaviomartinavilessanchez2456]

That song is my personal anthem 🤙🏼

[@an032nv]

"That song has the most story of any song"
proceeds to tell a story that doesn't explain anything about the song

[@hectords164]

They were ready to end their music career on the road, feeling like shit. Van busted, sleeping on the road, they make it home all the way from LA to Vancouver...and write romantic rights and proceed to make one of the best albums of the 2000s.

[@adrienpiette6746]

That song reminds me of having dirty, tangled and drunken sex. It was good nor was it bad, but it was a experience.

[@2und2sind4]
