There is literally not a single bad song on Distance. Those were the days.

As much as it is great, I don't think that Parody would be an easy listening to someone new to her. I love Parody but it took me years to like it and before it I just felt it was pretty boring, and some other tracks on that album as well, it took time to appreciate Distance (let alone First Love which is a so so album).

Yes, at the time I didn't like its musical style so much. It felt kinda slow and wierd. It changed a years afterwards though.

I see what you mean, I love that song but I skip every time it plays.
Still a good song though.
