This song has been resurrected in a Volvo XC90 commercial. It was bugging the heck out of me for a day before I could figure out what it was. The song is originally from 2001 I believe. Don't remember if it charted anywhere, but I do remember WLIR playing it quite a bit. The song didn't really stand out to me much at the time, but I absolutely love it now after hearing it in the commercial.
It's a somewhat electronic pop/alternative song, a little bit like David Gray. I would think if it charted anywhere, it would have been on Hot AC.

It's not really to shiny for Triple A, either, so I'd say it could have charted there.
I always have loved this, from when I first heard it. I remember asking on the boards for this song ID. Then it got to #3 on my personal chart eventually, because I loved it so much. I like the other song I heard from him a lot too.

Massive European hit, but he was a one-hit wonder. I like it.

I like this one a lot. IIRC it charted at Alt and did fairly well at Triple-A and Hot AC. I think it was 2001, probably a recurrent at the time of 9/11.
I've seen that commercial. Lots of car comercials are doing similar things with songs people only vaguely recall. I've seen another one using Bohemian Like You by the Dandy Warhols.

The song was actually released (internationally at least) in 1999. I love it.

Macklemore's new single made me recall this song. :) It's obscure and forgotten but really good.

I really liked this song when it was out, and still like it a bit. I picked up the album at a used shop for a few dollars, but wasn't too impressed with anything else.

The original was nice, but the Hani remix just gave it that extra something that it needed. Certain elements of the original were preserved. There was also a fun remix by Gabry Ponte (of Eiffel 65) which had production elements to the Eiffel 65 material at the time. |
