    Thank you Veronica Mars, I would've never heard this masterpiece if it wasn't for that show. Amazing show, amazing song.

    I was just a kid during the 90's but this song still makes me feel nostalgic. Such a brilliant album.

    not just memories, but also a certain understanding of humanity and our nature. When I give this song my attention I get a pretty familiar and unique clarity of mind.

    That's no matter what this song is about. It's inside of my soul, and I don't know why.

    My take: the song is about memories, but memories of house music and the acid house outdoor party/rave scene in the UK in the late 80s and 90s. The lyrics "Out of respect for Johnny Walker, Paul Oakenfold, Nicky Holloway, Danny Rampling, and all the people who gave us these times" (the DJs) tells us that. But let's face it, it was definitely written with the mindset of being on E. To me that's obvious. As for that loop, listen to Ce Ce Rogers' Someday (1987), an original House anthem, and you'll see where he's coming from, I think that's the loop in his head. @schizobullet, the acid house scene wasn't a dream as you put it, just a damn good party, shame u missed it.

    This song isn't about drugs. It's about memories. I can only imagine the nostalgia this must conjure for people who actually experienced the UK rave scene in the early 90s. [2] and about the decade-long comedown as people realized the failure of the rave dream. no wonder this is simon reynold's favorite album of the decade

    I used to skip this track when I was 15/16. Got to my late teens/early 20's and realised how perfect this track is. [2] "Imagine the world's leaders on pills, then imagine the morning after."

    Perfectly captures the feelings associated with doing E. One of the most brilliant songs about drugs ever written. [2] I used to skip this track when I was 15/16. Got to my late teens/early 20's and realised how perfect this track is.

    one of my favorite songs ever, the tape reel sounds alone in the chorus are genius.
