The late 90s were an odd time for rock. With pop on the ascendent, labels were throwing everything at the wall, hoping that something would resonate with rock audiences. The result was a long list of acts that were big for a moment before (rightly or wrongly) falling into obscurity.
I’d completely forgotten about Washington DC’s Vertical Horizon until last week when I read that they were gearing up for another album. There have been plenty of lineup changes over the decades with Matt Scanell being the only original guy.
This single, the title track of their third album, was an absolute crossover monster, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. Yeah, I forgot about that, too. This is why the internet exists.
