And: A movie I totally forgot about that’s worth renting: Singles.

The opening guitar riff. The lyrics, the video. I remember loving this song just as I’d moved back to my hometown, after years away. Chris had always been the bad boy I had respected (that voice, that high-pitched growl) to Eddie Vedder, who I loved and looked up to. This song was one of the first, years after the Grunge (as captured in a favorite romcom, Singles, which ably captured that 1990s Seattle music scene heyday), that grabbed me. Enjoy:

This one will ruin your heart. Something’s wrong with my eyes…
