@TheLoonyMoon13 same reason bands like kula shaker and Stone temple pliots got bashed...people couldn't handle the perfection. branded em wannabes. this song is absolutely amazing, I agree!
Is there a more beautiful song? This is in itself a representation of love - warm, soft and gentle in places, and at other times hard, harsh and powerful.
It's incredible.
my wife and i decided 8 years ago for this to be our wedding song. best decision for the wedding. beautiful song and when i listen to it i think of nothing but her. thanks bush for all of your music. first ballot rock and roll hall of fame.
@Fizzyfoe Indeed. The spirit was completely different... Grunge was quite special. And then the boy band came up and ruined everyhing. Now even Chris Cornell who was amazing at Soundgarden, makes participations with Timabland (I recognize T. is very good in hip hop/pop music. That is not the issue. The thing is...is weird to see a former rock/grunge singer change as much...). 90s forever.
You know when you find an album you fucking ADORED but haven't heard in a long time? This is right now. Sixteen Stone by Bush. Ah, It's summer and I'm a little 10 year old kid in Queens again, It's spring and I'm 17 in Pennsylvania. It's fall, I'm 19, and I'm starting school riding the bus to Manhattan. It's Winter, I'm 22, and it still fucking ROCKS from the first song on! Alien almost gives me chills when I sing it, ya know?
Bush was the first concert I ever went to, with Goo Goo Dolls and No Doubt opening. First row baby, and this song was amazing live. Sidenote: I was about 15 feet from Gwen Stefani, and at 13, I would have cut off my left leg if she asked me to.
Ugh why couldn't my mom jump on my dad sooner so I could pop out earlier?! Love the 90's music, and wish I could've been alive longer through this! All instead of the nasty crap we have now a days...
this song is amazing.
i reallly wish i grow up in the '90's. although i was born in '95 i listen to & act as if i lived my life through that decade.
i still like playing this CD & blasting it on my stereo like its going out of style.. haha
