In 1994 we started going out and we would listen to this song and album at night, and over the next 20+ years we had our 2 kids, house, business (a tiny farm), and then he passed from cancer in his early 40s. I still listen to this song and think of those nights long ago, in my little condo, falling in love. I miss him so much. This song makes me smile and cry and feel the passing of time.

I love everything about this performance. Her mesmerising voice, her shy beauty, her simplicty, that huge bass behind her and its harmony, guitar harmony, no cell phones, the crowd's 90s fashion, the disabled kids looking so at peace... This is the most pure performance and my soul gets lost in the song every time. I probably don't think as much as some of you when I hear it, I just listen and feel bliss.

Damn.. I always feel so old watching this. I was.. 13 years old in 1994.. music was life back then.. no cell phones.. just the radio.. mixed tapes and CDs. I'll be 43 this year I swear you close your eyes and when you open them it's been 30 years.. crazy.. life is wild and time waits for no one.

This song always transports me back to a specific moment in time many years ago when I was a teenager trying to find my way. Me holding a girl I was deeply in love with, I felt that she was smarter than me, out of my league, and had a family that was far more stable than mine. I remember the night when we were laying in her bed and holding each other, she told me that she loved me for the first time and my heart never felt so goddamn full. We never worked out, but that feeling I once knew still exists thanks to this song.
Edit: 4 months after making this comment...
I added her on Facebook. We reconnected and began to talk again. I flied from NYC to South Florida to visit my family during the holidays and we made time to see eachother (She still lives in Florida). We went to the beach and watched the sunrise on my final day of my holiday visit. All of the feelings we had as teenagers came gushing out again. It was truly electrifying. 2 extra flights back to Florida just to see her later... I broke my work contract and apartment lease early and am moving closer to her so we can let this blossom. I'm so goddamn excited.
Final Update: The relationship lasted 2 weeks. She left me on Valentine's Day because she said she wasn't in the right mind set for a relationship. As she was saying this I had a bouquet of flowers in my backpack ready to give her. So here I am... sitting in my new apartment, partly furnished, unemployed, and not knowing what to do next.
FINAL FINAL UPDATE: I moved in with my uncle, he let me work for his construction business for 4 months to save up some and get my feet on the ground. I saved up a few thousand, got in contact with my previous job in NYC, and they were happy to have me back (with a salary bump). The work contract has been signed, I arrive back in NYC today and will be working in a few days, final housing is still getting sorted. I feel good, I learned a hell of a ton... here's to the future

I didn’t realize it then, but 1994 was practically another planet compared to now.
