The Cranberries

• SamRobertsND +1 — I don’t love the Cranberries except for when I send a 5 minute long Zombie voice memo to Joe Torma, but since I’ve been guided by the being vs falling distinction, I have to reward this song for absolutely nailing it.
• fionmul +1 — This invited me to really listen to the words for the first time and what I found is this is sorta perfect for this theme! Good job kid! Even the yell-singing at the end is like same girl same
• Edward James +1 — This is probably the definitive answer. There’s a special thing where a song not just describes the thing it’s trying to convey through lyrics, but really FEELS like it, in its very essence. This was my first love’s favorite song, and after we broke up I didn’t listen to it for 5 years, except one time when it came on the radio in a steak and shake in Rosemont, IL and triggered an existential crisis

• Claire 0 — I hope that listening to this brought back fond memories of Joe Torma yodeling at karaoke
• Joseph Harvey 0 — Tormacore

• SamRobertsND +1 — Britta’s marrying, Britta’s marrying, Britta’s marrying Jeffrey Winger!
• Joseph Harvey +1 — Classic
• Claire +1 — It’s just a perfect song in general. But also perfect for driving with the windows down, reveling in the freedom of the open road, which to me was really the litmus test this round

• fionmul 0 — I really went a different direction. Should have asked my dad. But this is road-trip to me and the right era. But not American so my b? But maybe it’s the Irish coasts hehe my parents were in Ireland in September 1995
• Edward James 0 — Yes, of course, but also not the vibe I was imagining. If you downvoted this, know that Joe Torma knows it was you and he felt it personally
• Regina Scime -1 — Sorry, I just needed to downvote something
