Goo Goo dolls - Iris




Today's song, doesn't hold any particular memories for me, other than it's one of my favourite songs of all time. (Any music lover will know the infinite amount of literally amazing artists/sounds out there, compels me never to make a final judgement on my hands down favourite song). However I just find this song amazing. One of those where you're in the car and you have to abruptly end the convo with the person sitting next to you because IRIS HAS COME ON. The introduction for a start has got to be one of my absolute favourites (although Guns and Roses - Sweet Child 'o' Mine would win many awards on the intro front, in fact it probably has).

Doing my research on this* (Thanks Wikipedia), it was originally written to be the soundtrack of a 1998 film called "The city of angels" and as we all know comes from the bands 6th album called "Dizzy up the girl". This album also has one of my favourite covers, it's sort of grungy/mod/pop art - yes you can probably tell I'm in love with everything about this song. Unfortunately, due to not wanting to upset anyone on the copyright terms I can't get a copy of the cover on here, but look it up!

Enjoy!
