Happy New Year, fellow Xennials. It’s been a long December and there’s reason to believe maybe this year will be better than the last.

It is. She’s no stranger to doing music videos. Her first acting gig was in Bruce Springsteen’s [Dancing in the Dark](https://youtu.be/129kuDCQtHs?si=AAhTu_nu6Ch_GAl_) video.

I had that album. Good song and of course never hit the radio. Just found it when we would listen to a CD start to finish.

Never hit the radio? Typo of some sort? Definitely was a hit for them.

It was definitely on my local radio and MTV played the hell out of this and Mr Jones, and thought Round Here got a fair of play too.

Radio really sucked where I grew up.

The day I learned he’s not mixed race and Bjork isn’t Asian was a harsh day

I was getting ready for bed earlier today (I work nights) and put on some music to sleep to. This was the first song that came on. It seemed a fitting song for us Xennials to welcome the new year with. It was a rough one, to be sure, but there’s always reason to hope for a better tomorrow. So, once again, Happy New Year, my friends. Make each new day the best you can and remember to live your life to the fullest.

Beautiful song but such a downer. Probably bc it was used as a funeral song back in HS for a kid who passed away, a few grades younger than us. Can’t hear it without thinking of him….he wasn’t a best friend but a good kid

This wasn’t my scene in the 90’s but it’s still better than the pop out there today.

This is why I like this sub, I feel so seen 😂 Was listening to this song last night, it’s my New Year’s Eve “reflecting back on the year” song.

One more day up in the canyon....  August and Everything After was the first CD I ever bought. Been a fan ever since.

The smell of hospitals in winter…. For years I thought he said “the smell of hospitals is in her” like maybe she was a nurse or a doctor?

I get on my soap box anytime my younger coworker just categorize them as “the band that does that Shrek song”. August and Everything After is a masterpiece that holds up better for me than anything from that era, especially since I was a young teen when it came out and the song writing was so much better than I understood. Ana Begins is the one that gives me goose bumps every time, but along December is perfect for today. God damn he’s a good songwriter

He really is. Great band to have around during your 20s breakups
