my life has been very very hard in the past 8 years.....when you say "too much fun was had" back then.....i know what you mean. I would so, so love to go back watching her on 120 minutes with all the innocence to be had.
@@deltaanthropos5259 Scott's right to a degree. She blew it when she got involved withe Matrix production team and diluted her music, 'Why Can't I' was a bland pop song and an example of what they did.
I saw Liz perform live for the first time ever in Sydney last weekend. After being a fan of her wonderful music for more than two decades, I couldn’t miss the opportunity of seeing her live when she came to my hometown. She was fantastic! Engaging and charming with the crowd throughout. Liz Rocked!
This is one of the most "realistic" love songs! It doesnt try to be overly dramatic or go into sexual fantesies. It just all the little details about loving someone that anybody can relate to!
I remember discovering Liz (and PJ Harvey) when I was 15, from reading about their music in Rolling Stone and Spin magazines... the days when MTV played actual videos on fantastic programs like 120 Minutes and Alternative Nation...

Nowhere close to this level though. And we had many.many.many. Girls/women today were raised to care about having a super fat ass, learning to twerk and immulating no talent, rich reality show tarts. Its really sad. I take no pleasure in saying that.
Hey, do you have any idea of how Liz created that "muffled" sound of her guitar? Did she use a pedal of some kind? I've never heard that sound other than in this song
And pure 90s angst! I was 15 when this came out, and heard it on X96 - the "alternative" music station in Utah where I grew up. What a great time to be young and free!
@@fin8glr Other than her guitars, a Fender Duo-Sonic and Fender Mustang among others, her foot pedal and amps can do a lot for the sounds she's looking for. ✌️
it's 2017 and still listening to this, I was 15 back then, the 90s, the time when all great music started to come out, proud to have been be a part of it!!
When all great music started to come out? What do you think of the decades before? I like 90’s music too, but some might argue that was the beginning of the end of good music.
I remember this was like 1994 and this song and Jen Trynin's Better Than Nothing were two of my favorite radio tunes when I switched over to 106.3 (central jersey modern rock at the jersey shore, lol). I was going back and forth between early 90's hip hop and poppy guitar rock (still two of my favorite types). Also, I used to subscribe to Details magazine, and they'd send out compilation CDs all the time... pretty sure both Supernova and Better than Nothing were on one of them.
I had the Details CD with Better Than Nothing, You Oughtta Know, and "Drown" by Son Volt. That magazine introduced me to cool bands, and gave me style tips.
Ms Phair put out one of my all time favorite songs from the 90's! She really knows how to paint a portrait with words and the band really puts the icing on top her wickedly well baked cake. Thank You Liz Phair! You ROCK!
Liz's work from 1993-1995 was some of the best. I dig the white tennis and skirt...hilarious and I could totally see my 26 yr old doing this look in 2023!
Lyrics: I have looked all over the place But you have got my favorite face Your eyelashes sparkle like gilded grass And your lips are sweet and slippery Like a cherub's bare wet ass 'Cause you're a human supernova A solar superman You're an angel with wings of fire A flying, giant friction blast You walk in clouds of glitter And the sun reflects your eyes And every time the wind blows I can smell you in the sky Your kisses are as wicked as an M-16 And you fuck like a volcano And you're everything to me 'Cause you're a human supernova A solar superman You're an angel with wings of fire A flying, giant friction blast 'Cause you're a human supernova A solar superman You're an angel with wings of fire A flying, giant friction blast

You ever had a song transport you back in the time and all of a sudden you can remember all the littlest details of those days will that’s this song! Bring back the 90s
I loved this song and Liz Phair all through my high school and college years of the 90's. Funny that now I'm studying to be an Earth & Space Science teacher and my old friend Liz Phair is helping me remember some of my cosmology terms. :) Thank you Liz
She had a unique sound so different from what was going on. the critics focused on the lyrics and how "no woman has ever been so blunt about sex" or whatever (and whoa, the critics were always men, who knew?). But I honestly she created a new sound. i always thought they were really incredible pop songs disguised as rock with an edge. And i listen to these new women....Tone Lo or Sia or whoever.....Phair influenced SO MANY artists, male and female who started being aware of pop songs in a different form. I miss 93/94 so much. But Phair has survived, many have not. all love to her.
Christy Spencer Because they demand that women be demure and not talk about sex or apparently have orgasms. If they do, they're perceived as not being classy.
Haha..song has absolutely no sexual references or innuendo at all!! Amazing!!! Seriously I'm not kidding..the volcano reference is about zits the kisses references is about guys macho pride in muscles and how anyone can match it as long as they have a tongue to gag themselves with...the song is about her her her her...celebrities are known to be slyer than the wiser...aka LIE TO SELL RECORDS AND MAKE LEGENDS!!! People don't believe in anything at all...and yet they totally believe absolutely everything they DO NOT HEAR!!!
She literally did not inspire anyone...its all make believe...you know how many artists have never been exposed and yet theres tons of similar if not identical acts that are exposed? Its seriously almost a race of invention to create original music because of how limited the expression and message can be...this song us absolutely not what you promote at all...what has liz phair ever aspired to or achieved related to superman..men's health or rights..men's sexual liberation...or even womens...shes a lesbian...why..she can't liberate herself from her gender so sincerely she has to consume from it? Incest isnt legal and once upon a time lesbianism wasnt either...now suck my toe and let your brain turn back into jelly and stop acting all informed and formally casual about your narcissistic interpretations of ear born slaughterhouse floor scum.
I absolutely Love You Liz Phair. Man. Your sound is always right on. Your lyrics always calles questions within day to day thoughts. Brillant. Amazing. Of course Fabulous! So many years and so much coolness growing and evident. How the hell ya do it? Thank you. Cheers. Hugs and Love.
LOL, I just heard this on the radio for the first time in like 25 years and said outloud exactly what you just said! Wasn't sure if it was liz phair or the group who did "cannonball" , so I youtubed it... Seriously sounds incredibly "90s alternative" (Q101ish if you're from Chicago, heh). Sounds like Jr High to me, lol.
She was an interesting innovative songwriter and I always liked her guitar playing. Interesting open tunings. And her lyrics were also intriguing. I don't know her current music though.

and onto the next britney avril liz kelly to name a few GReat ones :)
nad yet I found her later a bit more
Who are you to believe you? Idiot!

my life has been very very hard in the past 8 years.....when you say "too much fun was had" back then.....i know what you mean. I would so, so love to go back watching her on 120 minutes with all the innocence to be had.
I agree, I was in my 20's in the 90's, living in Austin, and I 2ould live that decade over again for eternity, if I could.
Pre-teen and teenage me modeled my style and mannerisms on Liz Phair. She was the epitome of cool to me in the 90s. I still adore her.
Well stated❤
Now look at you.
And now teens emulate the Kardassian sisters, or some other trash tv bimbo.
Impossibly cool. Like... reincarnation of Anne Boleyn... but with more cowbell.
She is quite alluring and electrifying.
Liz is in her very own lane of coolness on rock’s superhighway.

Still rocking to this some 20 years later. Love being Gen-X. Our music kicked ass!

Still does!
The music was and is so raw and awesome and so many types from dee lite to beck to rock to grunge. Its probably nostalgia but I miss the 90s.

There are few hotter qualities in a man than being a fan of feminist artists like Liz Phair.
That sold more records than the songs themselves, its a modern phenomena
Oh man the 90's are never coming back but as long as we have epic songs like this on UA-cam, I can be cool with it today. Epic track.
As a 80's and 90's kid, I was so happy to hear this and other 90's classics on Yellowjackets
One of the most talented women in music, then and now. Long live Liz!
The Grunge and Alternative era of early to mid 90s will always be my fav era ☺

she is simply the most attractive human being i have ever seen in my whole entire life
A 10... take away the guitar and turn down the volume and she’s still a 10... let me revise that... she’s an 11.
I have seen the top of the mountain, and it was good.
She goes all the way to 11, man!
Everything about this song is fun. The riff the video and of course Liz. I'm 90's hungry again.
Lyrics:
I have looked all over the place
But you have got my favorite face
Your eyelashes sparkle like gilded grass
And your lips are sweet and slippery
Like a cherub's bare wet ass
'Cause you're a human supernova
A solar superman
You're an angel with wings of fire
A flying, giant friction blast
You walk in clouds of glitter
And the sun reflects your eyes
And every time the wind blows
I can smell you in the sky
Your kisses are as wicked as an M-16
And you fuck like a volcano
And you're everything to me
'Cause you're a human supernova
A solar superman
You're an angel with wings of fire
A flying, giant friction blast
'Cause you're a human supernova
A solar superman
You're an angel with wings of fire
A flying, giant friction blast
