Sixteen Stone
Bush (1994)
One of my favorite albums from the 90's was released thirty years ago today. Bush got a lot of flack for being a "Nirvana clone" from critics, fans, and even from Dave Grohl. Frankly, I think they're all full of crap. None of the music on this album reminds me of Nirvana or any other band from the Seattle grunge scene in the slightest. It didn't when I was a teenager, and it doesn't today.
The album included five songs that got heavy rotation on MTV and rock radio: Everything Zen, Little Things, Comedown, Machinehead, and Glycerine, but my favorite song was not released as a single. It's the second to last song on the album.
The satellite comes and goes
We give each other all we knowIn silence we still talkBy the light of the stereo we waltzAnd will you rain downIn your cinematic love truckI'm gonna hold you likeNothing's gonna stop usAnd she comes to take me awayShe's all that I neededI don't breathe another loverFlicker on a tv screenEverything's more than it seemsThe mighty backward fallWe stare at the light on the wallAnd I swear to thisShe felt like velvetSecond blonde childLike velvetAnd she comes to take me awayShe's all that I neededI don't breathe another loverI'm an alienYou're an alienIt's a beautiful rainA beautiful rain
