It’s not that it’s so unlike the other songs on this album, but it does have it’s own distinct rhythm. This song drips sarcasm and I just love it.īurning Man – This one is a neat song, with a cute and catchy riff that has always reminded me a little of a Sugar Ray song.
“I woke you up and I slit the throat of your confidence”… man it’s hard to beat lyrics like that. Thanks a Lot – A little more of a punk beat to it, but it’s not too hard. I had lots of breakups with this song as the soundtrack, and for that matter, I had several ruptured friendships and other teen drama bullshit that went along well with this song. How’s it Going to Be – The third and final “top 40” from this list, this is another song that the radio ran into the ground for a while. Awesome guitar riffs here, and the raw almost-yelling vocals hit the right spot every time for the times I wanted to just fucking throw something, but didn’t because I didn’t want my mom to be mad at me. Graduate – One of the harder songs on the album, this one feels good when being a standard angry teen or reckless teen or just plain feeling like you’re not moving forward in life. I always think of him when I hear this song… I wonder where he is these days. I knew a pathological liar in high school who was really a good guy deep down inside, but he literally kept everyone at arm’s length because he was such a liar. Then they overplayed it, like the radio ALWAYS does, so it was a little jaded for a while. A long time after the album came out, after I already knew all the words to every song on it, they started playing Jumper on the radio. Jumper – “I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend you could cut ties with all the lies that you’ve been living in.” This song was kind of a sleeper hit. The part where he says, “and the four right chords can make me cry” is another favorite line of mine. I was an innocent child and when I think back to that innocent nerd kid singing these lyrics and not knowing what I was saying, I have to laugh. “I want something else to get me through this semi-charmed kind of life…” unknown to me at the time, the song is about drugs. It’s one of those songs that most people my age just have to sing along to. A great song that, for me, has continued to be a good listening experience. Semi-Charmed Life – Here it is, the quintessential song that people bought the CD for. “There’s a demon in my head that starts to play a nightmare tape loop of what went wrong yesterday, and I hold my breath til it’s more than I can take, and I close my eyes and dream that I’m awake.” Incidentally, I can remember thinking it was ironic that both track 1 and 2 have to do with sleeping or losing sleep or being in bed because I listened to this a lot through my headphones when it was my turn to do my brother’s midnight feedings when he was a baby.

Narcolepsy – “I can feel this narcolepsy slide into another nightmare.” This song is a good for teen angst. Losing a Whole Year – The resounding first line of this album: “And I remember you and me used to spend the whole god damned day in bed”… one of my favorite lyrics to scream at the top of my lungs! This song had an upbeat riff to it, even though the lyrics were decidedly your standard alternative fare. What follows here is a track list of the only album that I love 100%, and sort of a brief ode to each song. This album seemed to somehow put me back together when I was in pieces, sooth my life anxieties, yet it also has that edge to it that would metaphorically scream, “fuck yeah! I’d be mad too! parents suck!” just when I needed it. So, I spent a lot of time listening to music, feeling ways about stuff, and just generally being a melancholy, apathetic, aloof, angsty teen. Life was less than appealing in those days.

I was young… puberty was a bitch, my parents had divorced, I hated my stepdad and my mom just had a baby. Sure, I had my favorites, but each song struck a nerve with me at some time or another, and every song’s lyrics still live in my mind and heart to this day.

This was one of those CDs that I could put into my anti skip sony diskman portable CD player on repeat for days and days on end. My point is, I didn’t own any CDs that I could listen to straight through without hitting the “next track” button… except one. And it said it had anti-skip technology, but that was a damn dirty lie! But I digress. I feel like I literally became an adult while this album was on repeat.īack in the day, before iPods and iPhones and other various forms of MP3 music, we had CDs. Third Eye Blind’s first album, self-titled, released in early 1997. I just want to talk about my love of this one album. Sometimes, you just want to talk about a thing.
