    About 2 Meter Sessions
    ====================
    Based in the Netherlands, 2 Meter Sessions is an independent, ongoing (new) music platform with a great legacy. Monthly we film 3 to 4 sessions with promising and breakthrough acts from all over the world.
    Many well-known acts have visited the show; from James Taylor, Elliott Smith and David Crosby to Damien Jurado, Ben Howard and Josh Ritter, via Radiohead, Nirvana, Coldplay and Foo Fighters. Archive footage can regularly be seen in (theatrical) documentary movies, like “Mystify: Michael Hutchence” (with footage of our session with INXS, filmed in 1997), “Heaven Adores You” (with footage of our session with Elliott Smith, filmed in 1998) and “All I Can Say” (with footage of our session with Blind Melon, filmed in 1993).
    The show started back in 1987 by radio presenter Jan Douwe Kroeske. On his popular national radio show he persuaded New-Zealand band Crowded House to play a couple of songs. The response of the public was so great, that 2 Meter Sessions quickly became a household name. In 1993, the show made a successful transition to national television. From there the show became a national phenomenon, for over 10 years, with filmed sessions of new talent, breakthrough acts and arrived career artists. Almost a million of 2 Meter Sessions cd’s were sold in the Netherlands.

    Arguably one of the greatest songs to come out of the 1990s. What a gem of a song. And the backstory makes it all the better. Never gets old. Never ever ever.

    I still remember hearing this song for the first time. Sitting in a bar late afternoon , alone with the bartender. Half way through, just blown away. She told me it was a band called Tonic. It’s 2022 now, I’m 68 years old, still blown away, loving the greatness of superb rock. Gratefully, Chris, Chicago

    You have to love Jeff Russo’s guitar playing. It’s tasty and textured. Perfect complement to Emerson’s vocals.
