"Growin up,...

Metacritic 2005
I don't know, maybe it's just me. But ever since the number has changed from 2000 to 2500, artists' rankings have either skyrocketed or plummeted. Either way, there are so many ridiculously low rankings for the 2005 list. It seems everyone is dipping below 2000....

Tori Amos

HELP! i need the name of a possible early 90's song
so all i can remember of the song is the chorus, "too far away for me to go, too far away". it's an alternative song from the 90s - probably around the early 90s when collective soul, gin blossoms, duncan sheik, etc was big.
can anyone remember it?
