I remember I liked this when it first came out and then it got SO OVERPLAYED that by the end of 2001, I'm sure I would have said if I never heard it again I wouldn't care. I listened to this for the first time since about 2001 the other day though, and I felt like it was the first time I heard it. This song had a great melodic quality and Lenny gave a really passionate vocal performance. It's by far my favorite single of his this decade and honestly, I'm not a big fan of most of his pop material anyway. I liked him better when he was an Alternative artist doing classic rock styled songs (and not ripping off classic rock songs.. "Where Are We Runnin'" I'm talking to you!).

I always thought it was a little bizarre that this was so successful. It's solid, for sure. But to me, it seemed like one of those songs that is popular and then just gets so boring...maybe even to the point that its almost grating. It really stuck around, after debuting at the end of 2000.

Yeah, this is solid, not my favorite from him though. I much prefer his early material.

I was obsessed with this song in late 2000, and the late 2001 I couldn't stand it. But I agree with Josh.... after a 3 year or so absence of listening to this, it does sound great again. It reminded me a lot of old-school Janet Jackson ballads  (espeically the breakdown/climax toward the end of the song) while still have that rock-soul feel to it. Musically, it's among the cream of the crop of Pop #1's of this decade. |
