MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1)

This song was everywhere

February 20th, 1997

Third Eye Blind.

“Semi-Charmed Life.”

(Music Cut #2)

It sounded happy.
Big hook.
Windows-down, singalong kind of song.

But listen a little closer.

This was NOT about summer romance.

(Music Cut #3 – “Doin’ crystal meth will lift you up until you break”)

Most radio stations quietly cut that line out – it was a little too direct.

So yes —
millions of us were singing along
to a song about crystal meth
and addiction…

without even realizing it.

(Music Cut #4)

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“I want something else
to get me through this.” — Third Eye Blind
