Some of the albums i love from 99...
The White Stripes self titled debut is a stormer and from it "The Big Three Killed my Baby" is a strong contender for this.
Sigur Ros released Agaetis Byrjun in 99 and "Staralfur" from it is stunning.
I am not a big Blur fan but "Tender" from their album 13 is a great song.
But there can only be one winner....The Hot Rock by Sleater Kinney is not my favourite SK album by a long way, but
"The Size of Our Love" from it is utterly beautiful and utterly heartbreaking, a tender, noble, hesitant sounding song that just destroys me every time and it is my pick for best song of 1999.
Our love is the size of
These tumors inside us
Our love is the size of
This hospital room, you're my hospital groom
Put the ring on my finger
So tight it turns blue
A constant reminder
I'll die in this room if you die in this room
Sit like a watchdog
And patiently wait
Listen for footsteps
Down the hallways, visit beds like they're graves
Days go by so slowly
Nights go by so slowly
Days go by so slowly
In a hospital room
In a box built for two
I fight for air, fight for my own air
Forget all the things I can do alone
I fight for a heart, I fight for a strong heart
I fight to never know this sickness you know
But I know it's my own, I gave it a home
Our love is the size of
These tumors inside us
Our love is the size of
This hole in the ground, where my heart's buried now
