What song do you associate with the current season?
What season is it actually versus technically? I don't really care. Everclear's 90s grunge sound feels like whatever this season is. If I recall correctly I heard this song for the first time on a road trip with my mom, but there was no way to know what was on the (admittedly, FM) radio. Not too long later my friend was introducing me to their other hits Santa Monica, Everything to Everyone, Father of Mine, and Volvo Driving Soccer Mom. The front-man was diagnosed with MLS, which feels like one of the most tragic outcome for a guitarist, but that didn't stop them from releasing a new song a few years ago in the year of the tiger called Year of the Tiger that maintained everything I love about that Everclear sound.
