Deluxe, 1995
Written by Kevin Griffin
This song was a post-grunge hit (reaching number two on the Billboard Modern Rock Track) when I was the prime target, but I don't remember it at all. It's a look back at a relationship that ended, but instead of being all regretful or hurt, it takes a tack unusual in pop music and reflects on the good parts. "Well, maybe I'll call / Or I'll write you a letter / Now, maybe we'll see on the Fourth of July," the narrator reflects, more or less cheerfully. Bright guitars and a tight, driving rhythm give it a radio-friendly sheen. Possibly it was the relative polish that made me ignore it at the time.
