Same for me, but it was a combo of the Pink Frost and House with a Hundred Rooms singles.rsmurphy wrote: Sun Jul 28, 2024 10:59 am I didn't hear Heavenly Pop Hit until much later in life. It was one of those songs that immediately took hold and left me over the moon.

I obsessed over Hundred Rooms trying to figure out what was going on with those chord changes all the little flourishy riffs.
I was off on my own early on at college, a hick from MT in the big city, poor as fuck among loads of rich kids, and the peculiar, beautiful melancholia of that song just really got under my skin. Played it over and over again in the audition room at WNUR. Magic.
Brave Words is a truly wonderful record, a masterpiece.
