And you just donโt get it, you keep it copacetic, and you learn to accept it, you know youโre so pathetic.
Those two lines have been echoing endlessly around my skull since listening to this song. Maybe thatโs not such a surprise, though, considering the track is 32 lines long and only 8 of them are NOT some rendition of these words. I canโt complain when then tune is so catchy.
It screams 1990โs alternative rock, like Nirvana and The Offspring had a love child. Sure enough, Illinois band Local H dropped โBound For Floorโ in their 1996 album As Good As Dead โ and itโs the best song on the album, I will not be hearing otherwise, thank you very much.
I mention the release date because I found something pretty fascinating (to me, at leastโฆ) when listening for the umpteenth time. As I was scrolling through my emails one very boring evening, the song suddenly walloped me with a sledgehammer of nostalgia. Which didnโt feel so odd until I remembered I was not actually alive in the 90โs. I was however alive in the early 2000โs in the back of my dadโs car rocking out to various 90โs rock classics, with a sprinkle of early Guns Nโ Roses for good measure. โBound For The Floorโ, however โ or any Local H song โ did not make any appearances back then.
It got me marvelling, with a risk of sounding naff, how powerful music really can be. Some simple sounds can bring me back to my young childhood just because they sound a little similar to some other simple sounds. Iโm aware it shouldnโt shock me as much as it did, and thatโs just how memory works, but it was a fun realisation nonetheless.
If anything, all that underwhelming epiphany did was make me play the song more often. Even now, as Iโm typing this with my playlist on shuffle, Iโm not lying when I say those familar came on in the background.
