The '90s were a kaleidoscope for me, and a roller coaster.  The same month that this album was released, I vomited twice, and I seldom vomit.  It was really sinking in that my marriage was crumbling, and I didn't know what to believe in, or what I was going to do with the rest of my life.  I was not ready for this album then, but I was four or five years later, in grad school, really starting to date, both men and women, and, yes, fumbling towards ecstasy.  The words to this song came back to me today and filled me, reminding me of that still-young woman I was in the '90s.  That doesn't mean you have to like the song.  But that's why I "like" it.
