...regular airplay, Third Eye Blind's "Semi-Charmed Life" was the summer anthem in my suburban circle of friends. It embodied our insouciant attitudes toward life as we spent the summer months together. The song's awesome combination of calculated brilliance, rebellious lyrical themes and the lead singer's solid, warm attack create an unforgettable tune. Emanating from all of this, the song represents the youthful belief that nothing can ever go wrong in life-a sentiment that inherently appeals to adolescent culture...
