    My brother was obsessed with this album.
    Later, my dad got really into this song as he was slowly dying from cancer. The ironic happy sound juxtaposed with the theme resonated with him, I think.
    Then my brother died 3 years later when COVID destroyed his lungs.
    Listening to this is bittersweet but it makes me feel close to them. Thanks for an incredible song.

    If you haven't listened to this entire album, do yourself a HUGE favor and do it. I', a metal head, and when this was new my Uncle Grog (A biker in the VNVMC) gave me a cassette of the album, I bought it on CD after one listen and have been listening to it at least once a week, usually more, since then. SUCH an incredible album from "cover to cover" as my Uncle would say. Give it a swirl, you'd be happy you did!!!!

      A friend of mine let me keep a CD of Siamese Dream that I had borrowed since he'd gotten another copy for Christmas. Thank God for the family member that gifted him another copy, I can't recall the number of times over the years when I wanted to be deluged by 90s nostalgia and popped in that CD. I still have that CD and the Crash Test Dummies album (plus numerous other 90s CDs). In the same 90s CD case no less. I believe the 90s can't fully be explained, only experienced.. but probably everyone feels that way about their childhood. Sorry for the ramble

      I don't think that's the message of this song at all. Pretty sure the message of this song is that the narrator is going to die before he gets old and he's imagining what that would be like.

    This song is a hypochondriac anthem of sorts, with lead singer Brad Roberts singing about old age and a series of ailments. In a Songfacts interview with Roberts, he said: "'Afternoons & Coffeespoons' is a song about being afraid of getting old, which is a reflection of my very neurotic character. I have always been preoccupied with death. It's kind of a morbid preoccupation, I'll admit. I always struggled with severe clinical depression, suicidal thoughts, high anxiety levels - ever since I was a little kid. I got extremely good marks at school, but my emotional life was a wreck. And I don't think I understood that I had a psychiatric illness, I just was constantly terrified of things that nobody else seemed to be worried about, like my death."

I was 14 and I remember I lost my virginity that year lol. But I fell in love , got my heart broke and fell in love 2 more times that Summer. LMAO. It use to be so easy , but what I remember most is my parents helped me buy my first car. It was 78 Nova. But we paid 300 hundred for it and it needed a shit ton of work done to it. So I spent that whole summer working on it every chance I got. With a radio blasting. And I had this CD and Nirvana , Alice in chains , Pearl jam, and a bunch of others. But blasting music and getting greasy was my summer days. Man those days were fun LoL

      With a bald spot in the middle of my hair -
      (They will say: “How his hair is growing thin!”)

    Thank you to my old man for having this on cassette, the whole album is amazing. I’m somewhat of a metal head but this album, this song.....well there is something that rings true right now in this current climate. CTD what can I say?? Genius. The whole record on my playlist for now and forever ❤️

    I was a young adult when this hit, I used to cover it & think "such an upbeat delivery of a dark topic" as I sang away.
    Now as I'm nearer 50, playing it is a very different experience, with the realisation that, sooner or later, we'll all face a scenario like this one.
    Will we face it so brightly? We can hope so...
