Third Eye Blind: Best Songs Countdown
8. Slow Motion from Blue: If you've only heard the album version of this song, then you're probably up in arms over this pick. All I have to say is find a copy of the song as it was meant to be heard - with lyrics. The song is about violence in America, especially in schools. The studio and the band agreed that it wasn't appropriate given the social climate at the time, so the lyrics were stripped and the track remained on the record. The thing that bothered me about this song is that I always really liked the music so I was upset there weren't any lyrics to it. When I finally heard the real version, all disappointment was lost. It reminded me of how crafty Stephan Jenkings is with words and instantly became one of my favorites.
