90s Music Lyrics

I've been driving 'round in my car
Rolled down the window beside ya
Blaring out loud of the broken speaker
(Everyday be listening to 90's music)

From that day we'd only be with one another
Gang hangs, bust the jams, meet my mother
There was nothing that could come between us
(Teens tearing up the streets)

(Everyday be listening to 90's music)

Stones at my window, like Romeo
Shot by Cupid with the bow and arrow
Old school, make me drool, roses at my door
(Everyday be listening to 90's music)

Romance from the book, sun-drunk desire
Summer night star-gaze, hands to the sky
You moved to the burbs, many words you meant
(Came back in a year and it just felt different)

Same old song I know
Won't get out of my head
Though the feeling's gone
The love ain't disappeared

But I've been missing what you love like, love like
I've been missing what you love like, love like
I remember what you love like, love like
I've been missing but it don't mean we can't spend
Time listening to
(Everyday be listening to 90's music)

MJ & Mariah
Nirvana & Aaliyah
R. Kelly & Mary Blige
TLC & Left Eye

Out to find me a house with the white picket fence
Wedded, tied to a new life present tense
Stopped at the drive-in of our spring fling
And then the radio played that song we used to sing

Hey, sometimes I think about it
Oh, you know I think about it
Hey, sometimes I think about it
(After all these years it just felt different)

Same old song I know
Won't get out of my head
Though the feeling's gone
The love ain't disappeared

But I've been missing what you love like, love like
I've been missing what you love like, love like
I remember what you love like, love like
I've been missing but it don't mean we can't spend
Don't remember what you love like, love like
I've been missing what you love like, love like
I remember what you love like, love like
I've been missing but it don't mean we can't spend
Time listening to
(Everyday be listening to 90's music)

MJ & Mariah
Nirvana & Aaliyah
R. Kelly & Mary Blige
TLC & Left Eye

(Everyday be listening to 90's music)

MJ & Mariah
Nirvana & Aaliyah
R. Kelly & Mary Blige
TLC & Left Eye

(Everyday be listening to 90's music)

90s Music

The first single to be released from The Golden Echo, the song finds Kimbra exclaiming on the chorus, "Everyday be listening to 90s music!"

"It talks about sharing music as a kid and falling in love to a soundtrack of TLC, Mariah, Nirvana, and Michael Jackson, then slowly growing up and away from that period of time," Kimbra explained. "There is an undertone of yearning for a return to that place, but it's also about an acceptance of time passing and that although things have changed, the music and the memories live on."

"Nostalgia is a common theme for me," she added. "I have a strong connection to my teenage years so I wanted to capture that boisterous playful energy with this song."

This features a vocal contribution and synths from Foster The People's Mark Foster as well as guitar work from Muse's Matt Bellamy.

Kimbra told Radio.com that she chose this track as the first single off her The Golden Echo album, as it sets up the record as one that's not necessarily going to follow all the rules. "I wanted to introduce the idea of playfulness," she explained. "I think of it as a statement song."

The album is named after a daffodil called the Narcissus Golden Echo that reflects up to the sun. Kimbra explained to Consequence of Sound : "It says in the Greek myth of Narcissus that he is looking at a reflection of himself in the water, and he eventually dies and so does the yellow flower. And so, of course, that took me to the Greek myth of Narcissus, and that is a theme that shows up not only on the album cover but also throughout the record."

"To me, it represents these two energies that show up on the album. Of course, Narcissus is that part of us that is very self-focused. But The Golden Echo also represents the part of us that is tuned into the whole and listens very deeply and calls outward — out to something higher or out to be connected again to mature itself. That's the album arc, and it goes between those two worlds. We're so caught up in ourselves that we often don't take the time to listen deeper. The Golden Echo summed that up for me."

Kimbra previously collaborated with Mark Foster on the Vows bonus track "Warrior," which was originally recorded for the Converse "Three Artists, One Song" series. Released as a single, it peaked at #22 on the official New Zealand singles chart.
