Like many people, I learned of Smoking Popes when they opened for Morrissey so many years ago....they've done so well, all this great material. Such an underrated band, and stellar songwriting....songs from my 20s.....at almost 50, they are now old friends that evoke such beautiful memories....music is a magic time machine, and the greatest form of art humanity ever developed. Tears in my eyes now. I'm not supposed to have feelings anymore....supposed to be dead inside .....but really that's just an excuse in order to ignore the soul wrenching pain of the day to day as I watch the best years of my life recede further and further into darkness from my rearview mirror in this accursed one way only car. Well, that took a turn south, didn't it.....😃

Love Mike on the drums. Really has his own style. Loved his drumming on Alkaline Trio- From Here to Infirmary

jesus christ can't believe that's the same drummer from alkaline trio. love both these bands and this song, but this is way too slow and sounds awful imo. so strange.. I was also thinking how much I love the bass tone in this song and thought it compared well to alkaline trio

Destination Failure- EVERY song is good- with such great lyrics too.

I heard this band in 1998 for the first time, because a friend lent me a cassette, and I loved listening to them while I was driving, then I lost that cassette, which was from the Destination Faillure album, and today, by ordering my old house I found the cassette ! It's the first time I can see their faces because I forgot what they were called. This is rare and cute at the same time.

This is a great comment! It paints a vivid picture in my head. 1998...21 years ago...where has the time gone? The late 90's were a magical time for me. Tell us more - where were you living and what kind of car was it?!

Dedicated their tune "Need You Around" back in 95' to my first high school crush....a red haired petite cutie....ah the memories these guys gave. #90s

If I could like this song twice, I would.

This song will always give me the chills, love Smoking Popes 🖤

I was 12 y/o when i first loved their song, born to quit album will always be one of my all time fave, I am now 39 and I love their music more than before.

Life goals is to tour with them

How have I never heard of these guys before?? Right up my alley and just found them a few weeks ago, and I've heard EVERYTHING from the time period this album came out. Dude's voice has never changed either!

Awesome! Nothing beats the original line-up 😃

Sounds great!

Still the best! ❤

Destination Failure will always be in my top 5 favorite albums of all time. Such a great album.

This is the best song ever. Period.

Rocky Socha I see your tenacious d reference lol

Saw them last Friday here in Portland. It was great. They played this, which is one of my favorites. Everyone in place was singing along with every song. I'm looking forward to their new album and their return to P-landia.

Amazing song, but truly awful camera work.

They’re playing it awfully slow.
