Day 90 - I Go Blind

Doesn't this just scream nineties?

I've been watching a lot of Friends this week, which is never a bad thing. In fact, watching Friends always makes me feel better about having no idea where my life is going. The series begins with Rachel searching for a calling; Phoebe never knows where her life is heading (and relishes in that fact); Ross changes careers (slightly) after a nervous breakdown; Monica is advanced, fired and then has to build her career up from the bottom (and a romantic funder) in her late twenties; Joey's career in show biz is all about the ebs and flows of career success; and then Chandler plugs away and away at a "filler" job for almost a decade before realizing that he is unhappy and he takes the plunge into finding his dream! So, there is NOTHING wrong with being obsessed with Friends right now!

Which brings me to this song, which was featured on Friends at the height of its popularity in the 90s. In fact, Hootie and the Blowfish were all over theepisode where Monica has her career setback.

Anyways, enjoy!

And then, realize that Hootie is actually doing a cover of a Canadian band: 54-40! Here is the original version of the song, released in 1986...not realy the nineties, but everything builds on itself. The sound quality is not as good, but, well, that was twenty plus years ago...
