      I don’t know, you must be too young to remember, but Tonic songs like, “If you could only see” were pretty big hits and you couldn’t go anywhere without hearing it. So yeah, I’d say Tonic got their due and more.

      ​@@82pythons85 If you were around then, would you maybe have any good bands from then that were more under-the-radar? And tbh i get the feeling most of tonic's stuff was actually pretty unknown. Like this one has less than a million views and I'd count it as one of their more popular ones, but what do I know?

    This song hits home for me. My late husband was an alcoholic & he was terrible with me, put me down, blamed me for things that weren't my fault, called me names & everything I did he considered "stupid". Hearing this song reminded me of those painful days before the booze killed him! I love this song because I couldn't have said it better myself, speaking from my own personal experience. I love this band!
