Primitave Radio Gods - Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand (1996)

Released by alternative rock band Primitive Radio Gods, the band attained international recognition after this single caught attention of the media. Its use on Jim Carrey's The Cable Guy also helped them gain further mainstream success.

If you've heard and remember this song from the nineties, you'll know what a very good and easy flowing tune it is. It's beautiful and soothing but at the same time evokes a sense of darkness and haunting. I've always loved this song but the older I get, the more it depresses me every time I hear it. There's just something about the melancholy that really brings me back to when I was a child like no other song does.

Treat yourself to an excellent piece of artistry from the nineties.

    Nice song man, I feel like I've heard it before, it's like it's stored in some memory cache in the back of my head.

    I get the same feeling listening to this song as I get listening to Zombies by The Cranberries.

    It certainly feels like a 90s song. I've never heard it before, though...or well probably I heard it then but I forgot about it.
