"Grounded"
Stir
from the album "Holy Dogs" (Capitol, 2000)
I don't know much about the rock band Stir, other than that they're from St. Louis, Missouri. Their major-label recording career consisted of two albums, the second being the 2000 release "Holy Dogs". Like several other bands over the years, they fell victim to changes in the personnel and ownership of their label, which left them unpromoted, lost in the shuffle, and eventually dropped.
I mentioned this song before, and I thought I'd finally share it with you. It's a somber but lovely ballad on an otherwise energetic album. The vocal harmonies on this song are especially beautiful, and when the melody builds to its goosebump-inducing finish, it's practically guaranteed to put a lump in your throat. The CD is now out-of-print, but you should be able to find a used copy of it inexpensively, either online or at an independent store. It's worth seeking out.
