This choice shouldn't be too surprising if for no other reason than it's No Doubt. A lot of people, especially those from my past that grew up with me during grade school, associate No Doubt with me. I introduced so many people to them. It was a little ridiculous.
I guess it blows my mind a little that people still don't always know who No Doubt is, as was brought to my attention by Dercetus last week. I thought everyone who was alive at any point during the 90s (whether you were born in the 90s or just breathed during that entire decade) knew who No Doubt was. God knows in my day I've spent thousands of hours listening to their songs. Most notable - Tragic Kingdom album because it was basically the first cd I ever got.
This song ends up stuck in my head so. freaking. much. though.
It should be noted that No Doubt broke up in the early 2000s. Gwen Stefani left in order to do her own thing and start a family of her own. This summer when I heard they were getting back together and first heard their single "Settle Down" I was beyond excited. No Doubt Push and Shove is probably the first cd I've bought in the last five or so years. I never buy cds. I was that excited.
Without further adieu... "Dreaming the Same Dream"
Just like the wind takes a leaf from the tree
You always know how to dismantle me
Yeah your sleepless vision's making me weak
And it's a comment not a compliment
Justification and apologies
Guess I'm susceptible to more tragedy
Cross your heart but there's no guarantees
It's not fair but who's keeping score?
How many times can a promise be broken?
Who taught you how to love?
Are we on the same side?
We know how to play this game
You fall and then I'll catch you
And then you kiss me goodnight
Close your eyes and think of me
I wanna be with you
Dreaming the same dream
Why you playing around with me?
Are we dreaming the same dream?
Put it away in little compartments
This didn't happen by accident
I've got your back but you're so broken
We always come back for more
How many times can a promise be broken?
Who taught you how to love?
Are we on the same side?
We know how to play this game
You fall and then I'll catch you
And then you kiss me goodnight
Close your eyes and think of me
I wanna be with you
Dreaming the same dream
Why you playing around with me?
Are we dreaming the same dream?
Who taught you how to love?
I try and try and try to understand
And there must be a good reason.
Are we on the same side?
We know how to play this game
You fall and then I'll catch you
And then you kiss me goodnight
Close your eyes and think of me
I wanna be with you
Dreaming the same dream
Why you playing around with me?
Are we dreaming the same dream?
Why you playing around with me?
Are we dreaming the same dream?
If ever I were to get married I'd want this song to somehow be there. I know it sounds morbid, but parts are super sweet. So yes.
