Am I a soft panzy arse for loving this song? It was probably overplayed back in 1998 (18 years ago, holy frick!) but I catch myself loving it every time I hear it.

Probably a nostalgia factor in play here too.

Oh and does anybody know a good cover version of it that you could link me to?

Do you like Boyz II Men? That's about the only cover I can think of

The Sleeping with Sirens cover is the first one that comes to mind.

Little known fact...Goo Goo Dolls were originally signed to Metal Blade Records before ultimately signing with Warner Bros. in 1998.

They released several records under Metal Blade distribution, including the multi-platinum LP A Boy Named Good (although technically a Warner Bros. release). The company almost exclusively dealt with metal artists but decided to take a chance on a band that seemed much more marketable than some of their underground and commercially-antagonizing clients.

No. They have a handful of other songs that are on my regular playlist and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

I dont know if its nostalgia or what, but a good portion of my favorite songs (from all genres) are from the late 90s. I'm particularly fond of all the pop/soft rock from this era, such as Iris.
