How many people think of the band Stone Temple Pilots and think of a song like this? This should be more of their legacy, but unfortunately its the driving rock tunes that have taken over.
The level of instrumental layering and melodic inventiveness belie a super effort on the band's part to produce not just a quaint interlude in a hard rocking album, but an indelible piece meant for long memory. The chorus bends time and presents a vocal harmony that is so fun to sing and a chore to actually count. The middle development, with chimes and cymbals breezing, gives us the sagacity that made the best grunge bands so superior to the late-'90s approximations who followed. The best grunge songs of the early '90s were challenges, thoughts, questions for the ear and the brain, not just whiplash.
