A song that reminds you of a particular friend.
This song will always remind me of my best friend since 2nd Grade, Brian Kramer. When we were 14, the summer before I moved to Belgium, we went to Lollapalooza ‘94 on Harriet Island in St Paul to see the Smashing Pumpkins headline. I saw them 3 more times over the next decade, but this show, standing next to my brotha-from-anotha-motha when they opened with this song and we almost suffocated in the pit but didn’t care because it was the most glorious sound we’d ever heard guitars make will always stick with me.
