    I grew up on the 90s/00s techno and this song was always a fav. Wouldn’t expect one of my favorite artists to cover it, this is soooooo good.

      This purity ring cover is amazing. Since you like the song, listen to "SALEM - Better Off Alone (Atari Teenage Riot Remix)". Nice nostalgic and depressive vibes.

      I think i heard it on a NOW cd or maybe a commercial in 99 or 2000 when I was around 12/13. and totally same here that 90's/early 2000's trance techno was my jam back at the end of high school in 2005. Along with metal and a bit of hip hop and everything. haha. Then there was like a Darude Remix of this song or some other song that got big. Then Sandstorm became a forever meme that wont die.

    Love Megan James to my core, there's always been something about her effortless authenticity that I hold close. I've seen more parts of myself in her art than my own blood. From her moving into frame a few seconds in...to holding out her hand hand with teary eyes to the alien. There's a part of me that always feels less alone hearing her voice & seeing her face. Though she keeps a quiet public presence, through her lyrics and actions it's easy to tell that she cares for every soul that's ever been touched by her. She acknowledges that so beautifully not only here but in "heartsigh" as well. Crazy how tied we can feel artists, as if they're lifelines.
