Crazy story behind this song.
About 2002 or so, I was in my early 20's, sitting in my room watering my SOL Shiskaberry plants, I'll never forget it, and I had this song stuck in my head on repeat so bad, over and over and over, maybe only heard it once before. I figured I should turn on the TV and listen to Much Music which was like Canadian MTV, which was still barely a thing back then, and see if it came on.
Literally the second I turned on the TV the video for this song was just starting. It blew my freakin mind. And if I'm being honest, this video hits me harder than the song itself. Very deeply reflects what I felt at the time having just recently fled a relationship with a girl who was bipolar, and bless her she made me feel crazy myself. Sadly she committed suicide a few years later... but yeah this song goes deep. The feeling of just having to drop everything and go.. just flee the scene... it hit me hard.
If that's not enough, the same day I had this incident of synchronicity, I met a pretty special girl that I dated for a year that day and also found out, that same day! that this band was playing in Vancouver the next month! Went to the local zellers at the mall to get tickets from ticketmaster that night. Canucks will know what im talking about. Absolutely blew my mind. To this day still kinda does.
At that concert at the commodore ballroom in Vancouver we actually got up on stage with the band along with about 2 dozen other people from the crowd at the end of this song. It was incredible.
That ex girlfriend is still good friends with me and my wife and coming to visit the first week of Sept lol. Life is funny.
