    yes, in a way. this benzene ring

    there was a band called Hum and in one of my favorite songs of theirs called The Scientists, the song talks about a couple who are scientists and creating and experimenting with drugs.

    she tells him to keep this benzene ring around your finger, and think of me when everything you ever wanted is about to end

    i fucking love that song but that moment in the song is just peak layers upon layers of music and poetry and love and adventure.

      Wow, what a memory trip! I listened to that song, I don’t think I have heard it before, but it is great! I’m pretty sure I heard a different song from them at the time, but they probably live in my mind from looking at BMG and CD warehouse catalogs at the time. Other artists have popped up over the years from there.

      I’m glad I asked, and thanks for answering! Somehow that took me back to my Candlebox days.

          Ya that was the one , i listened to it, also. The very beginning sounded very familiar but I’m not sure about the rest. But maybe it’s been 30 years and, well 🤷‍♂️ I never saw Candlebox live, guess I didn’t miss out. I really liked Alice in Chains but only got to see Cantrell tour while “waiting”

              Ya 🫤 Jerry is still touring (I think). He was good live then, but the last time I saw him was like a month or two after Layne’s death. It’s been awhile. He’s older, but so am I, and presumably you 🙂 His solo stuff was great. We ended up getting a lot of AiC stiff at that '02 show. Very solid performance. Not really related, but I’ve heard the Sublime stuff is good, but I wasn’t ever that into them, just have a friend who has stuck with it.
