Trying to figure
out one
person and one song was difficult as songs remind me of so much and so many
people but I finally figured out that one song and one person. My song that
reminds me of someone is....
74 – 75 – The Connell's
There seems to
be many meanings of this song, one includes an American Football game and one
other is about a girl at a high school reunion. For many years I tried to
figure out the meaning and I also tried to create a meaning that linked it to
that one person but have since given up.
I don't know and
really don't care what the song means, all I know is that this song is a
reminder to me that becoming obsessed with one person is not a healthy
situation to be in and you can live with this obsession for some time. The most
unfortunate part is that it was apparently a one way obsession.
I would listen
to the song every day and hope that it would bring him back but it didn’t. I
know what you saying is that I was completely detached from reality and I truly
was.
The happy ending
to this story is that this is a great song and besides all the obsessing this
boy gave me he also gave me The
Connells.
Just a piece of
useless information; I was convinced this band was an Irish band and was one of
the reasons I fell in love with them.

The Connells were a rock group formed in Raleigh, North Carolina
by David Connell (bass), his brother Mike Connell (guitar), Doug MacMillan
(vocals) and John Shultz (drums), who was soon replaced by former Johnny Quest
percussionist Peele Wimberley. In 1990 they added Steve Potak (keyboards) to
their line up.

This acoustic ballad became an unexpected smash hit in Europe,
topping the pop charts in many countries across the continent including
Germany, Norway and Sweden. In the UK it became a hit in 1995 but it failed to
chart in the US, though another track from their Ring album, "Slackjawed" reached #9 in the American
Modern Rock Tracks chart.

In 1995, this was featured in the James Mangold film Heavy.
