    I'm really about to cry. This song came Out when I just was a Kid, at that age I could not remember the name of the band or the song either. For many years I was triying to put the littles details of the video that kept in My memories: the tapes, the car, the man with the glasses... Anything that would helps me to search the song, until one day I gave up of my search. A really funny coincidence brought me here and in this moment, you can say with no error: I'm the happiest man alive, what many good memories in just one song.

    "Feeling Strangely Fine" was one of the best underrated rock albums of 90s imho.
    I can honestly say I loved EVERY track on that album and knew all the lyrics, once upon a time.
    Its a pity more people dont know about these guys.

    I was always playing this in my walkman back then in highschool, and no one really knew or heard of the song yet since "Closing Time" was the more popular Semisonic song...
    ...and then MTV played the music video for the first time one weekend.
    ...Monday after, I heard it playing in the school canteen's loudspeaker, and the kids were liking it.
    I felt so cool at that moment.

    ..one of the songs that eventually helped me get laid.

    Got your tape and it changed my mind,
    Heard your voice in between the lines,
    Come around for another time,
    But nobody ever goes.
    All alone on the overpass,
    Wired and phoned to a heart of glass,
    Now I'm falling in love too fast,
    With you or the songs you chose,
    And all the stars play for me,
    Say the promise you long to keep.
    I can hear you singing to me in my sleep,
    I can hear you singing to me in my sleep.
    I've been living in your cassette,
    It's the modern equivalent,
    Singing up to a Capulet,
    On a balcony in your mind,
    In the city the lion sleeps,
    Pray to Sony my soul to keep,
    Were you ever so bright and sweet?
    Did you ever look so nice?
    And all the sounds dream for me, Mmm hmmm.
    I can hear you singing to me in my sleep,
    I can hear you singing to me in my sleep,
    I can hear you singing to me in my sleep,
    I can hear you singing to me in my sleep.
    And all the sounds dream for me,
    Dive me down in a soul so deep.
    I can hear you singing to me in my sleep,
    I can hear you singing to me in my sleep,
    I can hear you, I can hear you,
    I can hear you singing to me in my,
    I can hear you singing to me in my sleep.

    I've been listening to Semisonic since the mid to late 90s while cutting grass in the summer to earn money and even still to this day I think they're one of the most uniquely sounding bands I've ever listened to. I don't see any upcoming tour dates but I really hope to listen to them -- please come to Gainesville, Florida, or at least somewhere near!! Love you guys!

      I know this comment is super old, but that is something that kids now just wont ever understand. Being able to make a good mix tape could literally be the difference of landing that chick from science class as your girlfriend or not. What's the equivalent now? Sending them a link to your spotify playlist? Truly a lost art form... .

    This song turned me on to the band when a lone disc jockey played it at regular intervals at WBRU. Then Dan's solo album dropped and it was my album of the year. Then I read Slichter's So You Wanna Be a Rock n Roll Star? THEN I found out Trip Shakespeare existed. It was like musical time travel. Absolutely Love these guys.

    Where nobody ever goes
    All alone on the overpass
    Wired and phoned to a heart of glass
    Now I'm falling in love too fast
    With you or the songs you chose
    And all the stars play for me
    Say the promise you long to keep
    I can hear you singing to me in my sleep [x2]
    I've been living in your cassette
    It's the modern equivalent
    Singing up to a Capulet
    On a balcony in your mind
    In the city the lion sleeps
    Pray to Sony my soul to keep
    Were you ever so bright and sweet?
    Did you ever look so nice?
    And all the sounds dream for me, Mmm hmmm
    I can hear you singing to me in my sleep [x4]
    And all the sounds dream for me
    Dive me down in a soul so deep
    I can hear you singing to me in my sleep [x2]
    I can hear you, I can hear you
    I can hear you singing to me in my
    I can hear you singing to me in my sleep
