Did they play that song that late in the 90s? I remember hearing it on 89X more in the 94-95 range. This band is nowhere to be found on streaming services!
This song just came up on my mix list after 7 years of not hearing it for so long and it hits me just the same. It causes such mix emotions it's crazy. Being from Michigan and listening to 89X constantly it became my favorite song and one Sun night they announced they were going to play it and I got it recorded on cassette, lol yep I said cassette. My friends were blown away by it, wondering why they weren't mainstream. I can still smell the summer nights driving around in my Jeep Wrangler with the top down playing this song over and over with not a care in the world. Miss those days. Sorry for rambling, I blame the song. 🙂
89x broke this amazing band onto the shoe gaze scene. I remember hitting 3D in Royal Oak for Video Appreciation Night one night and this was played. Dance floor filled in about 20 seconds. Royal Oak scene back then was amazing.
I still Spin "The Spin" on a weekly basis. One of the most cathartic albums of my lifetime. And yes, I am from the Detroit area. ;) Thank you 89X for getting this out there. I was fortunate enough to get an original release of the CD.
I think for any Gen X'er like myself growing up in Detroit, this was the seminal song of my early college years. This plus "A Beautiful Day" but I can't for the life of me remember the name but 89X would piggy back the two
This song/video is just comfort food for me. Perfectly happy with my life but a feeling washes over me whenever I hear this song. A time I wish I could go back to even though I know it’s impossible.
This song and "Trust" by 24 Gone are amazing. 89x was great...Where discoveries like Sloane ("Underwhelmed"), Spirit of the West ("And if Venice is Sinking"), 54-40 ("Blame your Parents"), Bettie Serveert ("Tomboy"), Ginger ("The Earth Revolves Around You"), Jane SIberry ("Sail Across the Water"), Mae Moore ("Bohemia"), Morphine ("Cure for Pain"), Pavement ("Cut your Hair"), Paw ("Jessie"), many XTC and Pixies songs, etc and so on.
Took me years to find out who they were. Only heard them on 89x and a friend randomly told me. This is my favorite coming-of-age song ever. Will never forget the feelings it gives me.
My favorite song of all time. Great album all around. I had no idea this song was only played on 89X. I was able to get my copy of the album from Dearborn Music years ago. It was out of print at the time, but somehow Dearborn Music was able to get a copy in for me which was amazing.
I miss this music so much. I also miss Big Sonic Heaven on Sunday nights (for your Detroit/Windsor area folks). I have Darren Revell to thank for damn near half of the music I listen to now. I just bought this record used on Amazon since it's out of print and iTunes doesn't have it.
No one in Canada has ever herd or knows this band.. this one's all yours Detroit... oh and give Vegas our thanks for taking Celine Dion.. that was a close one.
Finally I can hear this song again. They played this song a few times on 89x in Detroit MI. I remember the DJ saying that this band and song was rare because after the recording of the cd the record company went bankrupt. I have been trying to look for this song and could not find it Thank you whoever you are for putting this song on youtube.
got my copy from record rama sound archives in pittsburgh, penn. on mcnight rd they are the largest collector of cds they have millions of them there. cost me 28 bones+ ship. but they had an original still in wrapper..i'd pay it again for this cd...
Wish they would upload onto Spotify ; ( Love the melodic guitar chords and used to listen to 89X as well....I would wait days for this song to play, head back to MSU for school, come back to the D, 89X, off to a bar or a friends like to H2O ski, and have the time of my life....music between the early 80's to 1995 - ROCKS!!!
Correct me if I'm wrong but 24 Gone is a Canadian band right and 89X was a Canadian based station? True or falseMight be why us wonderful Michiganders and 89X lovers only know this song. Sunday nights is when they played it the most, I believe. I use to try and wait for this song to play so I could record it, lol
+Rodricco Leonardo It was a very rare album either chuck or dave was the only one with the album and he had to bring it to hear it on the morning show if i rem right.
+Rodricco Leonardo Yes, I am a Michigander and 89X is where I fell in love with this song about 20 years ago. The story, and I don't know if this is true or not, that the building of the record company for 24 Gone had a fire and the master copy of this song was destroyed. Obviously someone had a tape or CD of this great song. I loved 89X and the River back in the day for playing both American and Canadian music. Tragically Hip as well - great Canadian band. Also, loved Dean Can Dance song American Dreaming. I feel old now.....
Sandra Sparr That is great info and would explain why this great song never made mainstream! Kind of glad it didn't, allows me to show off a great song and people are like "where the hell, who the hell" did you find this.
Why does it seem that this great tune is remembered by Michiganders only. Yes thank god for the River and 89x or the cutting edge back in the day. Everyone should know this tune. My daughter just went to see One Direction, poor girl doesn't understand what good music is.
Oddly enough, I'm here now because 93.9 played it today. And I still didn't know the name, so I googled it. Also on a side note, you mention the cutting edge, are you talking about 105 dot 1 The Edge from Detroit from the late 1990's??? Damn, I miss that station!!
Actually I do not know of 105.1, I have been a Detroiter all my life, kinda bummed I don't know that station. I am talking about today's 88.7, 89X. Back in the late 80's, early 90's they were a top 40 station, but in the evening from 7pm until 3am they had a program called "The Cutting Edge" and it was amazing. They played songs like this and the flavor of say "Superman" by REM or 4 Men by Kitchens of Distinction. I was introduced to fantastic bands like Tragically Hip (CIMX as their call letters are Canadian, and so is Tragically Hip, and back then all Canadian stations had to have 30% of their playlists Canadian acts, so the Hip was played a lot, Gordon Downie, Godspeed Brother), or how bout Afghan Whigs, (Miles is Dead live will blow you away, or My Curse by them off the Gentlemen album, OMG have a listen). I do not even listen to ariel stations anymore. The River is very good, and a 24 Gone song gets in there but anyone who experienced the true "Alternative Era" was treated to an epic time is music history. I equate it to the British Invasion of the 60's or the disco, and punk era of the 70's. I am actually an 80's teenager but lol, one hit wonders, synthesizers, and hair bands, ok I liked a few, but think about it, if it wasn't for pioneers like Bob Mould, or say Perry Farrell and Jaunas, what might have become of the Sub Pop Grunge Seattle sound, or how about Corgan, who I still love to this day. It was a complete rebirth age of music through the mid 90's. Need proof try a 1994 song called Love Spreads by the Stone Roses, or Catherine Wheel's 1992 tune Black Metallic, try that one with the headphones way up. Why can't tunes like these get on today's radio, urgh frustrating. It is kinda like my appreciation for classic rock, which I hated in the 80's, but love now, please Millennials give these tunes a try, you will love that you did!!!
I enjoy both of the radio palyed songs from this band. When one reads the comments it sounds like the band has had most of its fans in southeastern Michigan and a few in Windsor this is wild and odd. Bowie was hot here and Cleveland before the rest of the U.S. came around.
Detroit and suburbs had its first ''alternative' station thanks to little Windsor, Ontario. Up to the early 90's, Ontario's only alt station was CFNY in Toronto (and even they got a little Top 40 wacky in the late 80's), and then along came 89X and it was far better than CFNY - still is, for that matter.
You WON because it is impossible to find this track anywhere. I think I downloaded it via LimeWire in the early 00's and wish I still had it! This song is so beautiful. Didn't know it was a Detroit-Canada cult classic, but that explains why it doesn't seem to exist even on today's apps that supposedly have All The Music.
+Sandra Sparr OMG! Really??? The master copy of this song was destroyed in a fire??? Wow! I really want a copy of this CD then! I'm obsessed with this song lol!
I wrote that comment eight years ago. I remember getting the CD, but I have no clue where it is. I live close to the Windsor/Detroit border and listen to 89X back in the day. I'm sure I found it randomly somewhere. I look at this comment, and I'm thinking where where is it. I've moved so many times and now I have children so who knows I wish I could find it but it's long gone. It breaks my heart a bit. Where did it go? Maybe it's still in Alaska or North Carolina or Florida who knows. Love this song.
zeljko.. in my humble opine i think you guys were the victim in a cash strapped record label.i think you guys in my opinion were and probably are more talented than the likes of pearl jam. dont get me wrong they are good in their own right. but i think you guys had the raw talent. you had good hooks. brian could sing every bit as expressive as the best. sad to see you guys did not have a follow up disc.. but if you do i will buy it... in my opinion there were 5 good songs on the spin. good odds.
Still my most favorite song... timeless. Summer of ‘97 and 89x was the ONLY station we ever played. Soooo good.
Did they play that song that late in the 90s? I remember hearing it on 89X more in the 94-95 range. This band is nowhere to be found on streaming services!
@@jsen-o3y yes. It’s hard to find too.
89X is on channel 88.7fm here. I miss the 90s.
This song just came up on my mix list after 7 years of not hearing it for so long and it hits me just the same. It causes such mix emotions it's crazy.

89X was the go to of my teen years. Novi.
89x time warp ftw
I love 89x
Hell yeah...that was my fav song on 89X 4 sure! ;)
It took me forever to find this after time warp lol
Yeah and now they changed to dumb ass country music!! 😡😡
I miss 89x so much. That station introduced me to so much.
Hard to find gem...another Detroiter here saying thanks Canada and 89X!!
Yet another 89X memory here.... We were so f#ing lucky to have experienced this band.
RIP 89X
Yup, Alt Rock Detroit... early 90's...
89x broke this amazing band onto the shoe gaze scene. I remember hitting 3D in Royal Oak for Video Appreciation Night one night and this was played. Dance floor filled in about 20 seconds. Royal Oak scene back then was amazing.

I got one off of amazon a few years ago and the mailman lost it. I panicked but it eventually came.
I waited 10 years of hearing this song in bits and would flip out any time it came on 89x. I was SO happy to find out the name. It still makes me cry.
When I moved to Michigan in 1992 89X was my go to station and yes this was very much a staple in their play rotation, such an underrated classic.
Hi dad!
Thanks 89X ....this is now a favorite song of mine !!!
... yes, from the Detroit area too !!!
I think for any Gen X'er like myself growing up in Detroit, this was the seminal song of my early college years. This plus "A Beautiful Day" but I can't for the life of me remember the name but 89X would piggy back the two
It's by the Levellers I think.....
3 Colours Red - Beautiful Day
The days of indie.
The Gandharvas "First Day of Spring". First version was the radio single, not the re-recording from the late 90s.
You have got to be joking! Lol i was gonna play beautiful day next, cuz that was my other 89x favorite.
This song takes me back to an old mustang, driving in Detroit listening to 89x. MAN I love this song and miss my hometown.
meeeeeeeeeeeeee too
this is a hidden treasure for canada and detroit.
Extremely underrated. 89X indeed.
89X or 88.7 on the Detroit dial. Driving to Greek town in1996.
This song/video is just comfort food for me. Perfectly happy with my life but a feeling washes over me whenever I hear this song. A time I wish I could go back to even though I know it’s impossible.
Very well said.
89x played this song all the time in a very tumultuous time in life..... loved it then and love it now
Anyone who grew up Metro Detroit and listened to 89x knew this and Charm Farm!
Probably the last era of local classics.
Heard this song last night on Time Warp at 93.9 The River
Worked in a security booth midnights in Allen Park MI in 94/95 and would always wait and hope 89x would play this.
This song and "Trust" by 24 Gone are amazing. 89x was great...Where discoveries like Sloane ("Underwhelmed"), Spirit of the West ("And if Venice is Sinking"), 54-40 ("Blame your Parents"), Bettie Serveert ("Tomboy"), Ginger ("The Earth Revolves Around You"), Jane SIberry ("Sail Across the Water"), Mae Moore ("Bohemia"), Morphine ("Cure for Pain"), Pavement ("Cut your Hair"), Paw ("Jessie"), many XTC and Pixies songs, etc and so on.
Wow...thought I was the only one in the Universe that knew about or loved this song! Thanks for sharing :)
Took me years to find out who they were. Only heard them on 89x and a friend randomly told me. This is my favorite coming-of-age song ever. Will never forget the feelings it gives me.
Can't get enough of this song...totally reminds me of the early 90's and the Royal Oak club scene
89x Windsor Ontario Canada.
Timeless and wonderful ❤️👌
GUESS I'M NOT CRAZY AT ALL. THIS SONG REMINDS ME OF 89X ALSO. THEY PLAYED THIS ALL THE TIME!
My favorite song of all time. Great album all around. I had no idea this song was only played on 89X. I was able to get my copy of the album from Dearborn Music years ago. It was out of print at the time, but somehow Dearborn Music was able to get a copy in for me which was amazing.
I've commented in the past on this video, but even after all these years, this is my #1 favorite song. I could never get tired of it.
Wow this song takes me back. Detroit. 90s. 89X.
Heard it on 93.9 a month ago and haven't stopped listening to it
Had to order the album directly from the label. Still can’t find this band on any music app
1018.Still listening. So many memories. I'm 46😁
This band was active on Facebook for awhile and even teased a show in Windsor. Been dormant for quite awhile now
This song never gets old. Too bad they broke up. Great band and vocals!
I with this was on Spotify I would stream it 24/7
Metro Detroit peeps, I think Rock-A-Billies auctioned off a copy of this album as it was really hard to come by.
I miss this music so much. I also miss Big Sonic Heaven on Sunday nights (for your Detroit/Windsor area folks). I have Darren Revell to thank for damn near half of the music I listen to now. I just bought this record used on Amazon since it's out of print and iTunes doesn't have it.
No one in Canada has ever herd or knows this band.. this one's all yours Detroit... oh and give Vegas our thanks for taking Celine Dion.. that was a close one.
I do
It’s a Canadian station

I agree ! This song is AWESOME ! !
I live in A2 MI and I also hear it on 89X - I just looked it up why didn't this get air play years ago?
It did!!
Wish they would upload onto Spotify ; (
Love the melodic guitar chords and used to listen to 89X as well....I would wait days for this song to play, head back to MSU for school, come back to the D, 89X, off to a bar or a friends like to H2O ski, and have the time of my life....music between the early 80's to 1995 - ROCKS!!!
Still playing …. 2018.....2019....2020...…...2120.....2210...3000
Still love this song 🎵
Great song on 89X senior year of high school!
@Lawash81 I`m in the Cleveland area and I used to listen to 89X in the 99-01 period and I miss that station.
i would thanks Mark for giving me the link for this amazing band u guys awesome.
There better be 0 dislikes to this song!!!
So sad to see 89X switch to country music last week. Just stunned.
Correct me if I'm wrong but 24 Gone is a Canadian band right and 89X was a Canadian based station? True or falseMight be why us wonderful Michiganders and 89X lovers only know this song. Sunday nights is when they played it the most, I believe. I use to try and wait for this song to play so I could record it, lol
This is how I remembered it too. 89X was my go to for awesome Canadian music. This song is like a warm hug.

I'm still in love with this song also. where does our time go ? :(
same with dallas green from windsor song called the grace but that song is on a album called the never ending white lights
Great song.
Big Sonic Heaven
I loved that show! Every Sunday night I would time into that. I miss Detroit.
Just heard this today...good ol' Detroit radio :) I love this song!
89x is sold.
This is what rock is all about!! Great music. Great lyrics.
This song is amazing
Why does it seem that this great tune is remembered by Michiganders only. Yes thank god for the River and 89x or the cutting edge back in the day. Everyone should know this tune. My daughter just went to see One Direction, poor girl doesn't understand what good music is.
+Jason Snider I know Jason, we had it so great! The music was just so amazing
24 gone

Yep 89X back in the early 90s for me
Can someone put this on Spotify for F sake.
She comes in colors
I enjoy both of the radio palyed songs from this band. When one reads the comments it sounds like the band has had most of its fans in southeastern Michigan and a few in Windsor this is wild and odd. Bowie was hot here and Cleveland before the rest of the U.S. came around.
Yeah Zeljko. This is greatness.
I'm not from Detroit and I was born in 99 and I love this entire album
Loved these guys. memories can be a killer to the psychi
They spelt my dads name wrong on Wikipedia, his name is actually Peter Scheltgen not Shelten lol (Edit: My dad was part of the band)
really ? wow... what an AMAZING SONG.... We really like it. and some others also. Make a reunion if possible for 89x and we will be there.
Awesome ;)
Daddy-o ❤️
Timeless classic.
Seems be a lot of Detroit folks here. Including myself. Weird.
Will always love this song!
Also my favorite song by twenty four gone "trust"
Its not on iTunes and good luck finding the album....Luckily one of my ex's had the album and I ripped it.
Detroit and suburbs had its first ''alternative' station thanks to little Windsor, Ontario.

I think you're forgetting WLBS in the early 80s, but that might be an east side thing.
I LOVE 89X... they would play the hell out of this song. I live in det.
@@PsyloOfficial i think all of us are from detroit, by the looks of it. Funny how this song never went further than 89x. Everyone loved it.
Amazing Song !
Love this song.
I paid close to $300 for this CD on Ebay during the height of the madness lol.
I was probably bidding against you. I think I paid about the same back in the 90's and was still excited to win it.
So did I lol!!!
You WON because it is impossible to find this track anywhere. I think I downloaded it via LimeWire in the early 00's and wish I still had it! This song is so beautiful. Didn't know it was a Detroit-Canada cult classic, but that explains why it doesn't seem to exist even on today's apps that supposedly have All The Music.
Got it for about $30. Still have it.
Great song!
I got this CD for Christmas!!!! Want a copy let me know. Probably shouldn't say that......
+Sandra Sparr OMG! Really??? The master copy of this song was destroyed in a fire??? Wow! I really want a copy of this CD then! I'm obsessed with this song lol!
+Sandra Sparr Considering the bad isn't together anymore, and the rarity of the album,I don't think anyone will be upset if you share this one

Why Cant I find this song? Why is their cd so rare? Damn it lol
@presidentriche played it today too! yippee!
Still can’t find this cd for under $100. Um, help?
Love it!!!
89x ftw :)
After 30 years of Alternative Music, 89X Windsor is now a Country Station(sad).
Heartbreaking!
@@p.h.various7508 Yes, but all of S.E. Michigan is burning. One more let down.
Thanks Everyone. - Zeljko
Agreed
Y'all got a cd I am unaware of? Would comp that in a hot second if y'all did.
They're from BC.
Is this song on itunes? Awesome track!
um its all over amazon. i got it for a few bucks.. definitely not rare
not on iTunes?
anyone know an accurate interpretation of this song?
Send me an email and I will send you the chords. I Think I still remmber this song
Thanks for all the kind words
