Throwback Thursday: “If You Could Only See” by Tonic

May 26, 2022 — Leave a comment

Three TBTs in a row? This might be a trend I manage to keep up with.

I actually made a 90s playlist on Spotify and “If You Could Only See” was one of the songs I considered a must-add. Of course, I appreciate it much more as a woman in her 30s than I did as a teen. Haha! Give it a listen and embrace the nostalgia!

Throwback Thursday: “Save Tonight” by Eagle-Eye Cherry

May 19, 2022 — Leave a comment

I actually did a TBT post two weeks in a row! I’m so proud of myself!

So, Eagle-Eye Cherry’s “Save Tonight” is another one that plays when my 90’s alt. rock loving boss is controlling the tunes. Whatever station he has it on is pretty great.
