Love, Obsession, and a Massive Alternative Rock Hit
It became one of the most iconic songs of the 1990s — a massive hit that earned Grammy nominations, swept the MTV Video Music Awards, and landed on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs list. But few people understood what it was actually about. The title sent people in the wrong direction. The video made it worse. And the band just watched it all happen. Today on Beyond the Tracks, we dig into the real story behind the song — a melody born from a beginner's mistake, an orchestra brought in at just the right moment, and a Southern expression that explains everything. Love, obsession, and one of the most misunderstood hits in pop music history. Subscribe so you never miss an episode, and be sure to share with your friends who enjoy the stories behind the music.
