Ever just hear something on the radio again for the first time in so long and were reminded of just how freaking good it was when it came out? That’s how I’d explain Puddle of Mudd’s  2001 album which featured hits such as “Control,” “Drift and Die,” “She ******* Hates Me“ along with select fave “Blurry.”

There’s just something about this song which is so kick ass. No. It’s not heavy metal nor does it have to be. Just listening to every word gives you an idea of the special significance to it. It’s got edge.

Oh. And the video’s just tremendous as well. It’s really got that vibe going. The whole father/son thing is really cool too. I really like how it was shot.

As it turned out, Blurry wound up being the band’s top hit reaching No.5 in The States for the Kansas City Missouri act fronted by Wes Scantlin, which got an assist from Fred Durst. Go figure.

Anyway, here’s their best work to date though “Psycho” is a good one with that classic Scantlin vocals along with underrated bandmates Doug Ardito, Christian Stone and Ryan Yerdon.

Puddle of Mudd: “Blurry”

Everything’s so blurry
And everyone’s so fake
And everybody’s so empty
And everything is so messed up
Pre-occupied without you
I cannot live at all
My whole world surrounds you
I stumble then I crawl

You could be my someone
You could be my scene
You know that I’ll protect you
From all of the obscene
I wonder what your doing
Imagine where you are
There’s oceans in between us
But that’s not very far

Everyone is changing
There’s noone left that’s real
To make up your own ending
And let me know just how you feel
Cause I am lost without you
I cannot live at all
My whole world surrounds you
I stumble then I crawl

When you listen to Scantlin sing this, it could pretty much apply to anything. In this case, his son which is very touching.

Hope ya’ll enjoyed this. Until next time.
