I heard this song one time in 1996-1997 on the radio in my car and was enamored. I wanted more. I listened to the next 30 minutes of songs, late for work, hoping the DJ would mention the name/artist but he never did. I called the radio station, they told me they were airing a nationally syndicated show & didn't have a track list. I called the nationally syndicated show but they never got back to me. I even wrote letters. This was in the days before I'd heard of, or could even afford the internet. I spent the next 10 years looking for this song on & off. Closest I got in the Internet era was an instrumental (?) by Stephen Day. Pre-internet I went to dozens of record stores & they pointed me to Cornershop (who are an excellent rabbit hole but sadly unrelated) and Forest For The Trees who were also getting a lot of air play in the late 90s but also unrelated. Unsuccessful, I'd resigned to the fact that I'd never hear this again. This song felt like the "one who got away". I yearned for it. I gave up hope over the decades & stopped actively looking about 15 years ago, but thought of this song probably 4-5x/yr. Then last night I watched the Soprano's for the first time (I know... I'm a bit behind the times). A3 sings the intro song and it immediately brought back memories of this song. So I hopped over to KZitem, pulled up an A3 playlist on a whim & this was the first song. I cried. I've listened to this song probably 100 times since then. The feeling is indescribable. Thanks for posting this 12 years ago.

Since the song came out I always thought it was "a cuppa opey tea". Cuz there were chai shops that served "specials" called Bhang Lassi's which used ganj and yoghurt and then some I frequented served traditional opium tea. Lying in a hammock as several different medicines coursed through my blood stream ended up becoming a habit and I'd to go home and leave all that behind while I'd still got time to get out. Turned out the dragon was stronger than me. If I could talk to my younger self I'd have a few home truths to tell. But i can't and life flows on like the river to the ocean.

Instead of dishwater liquid you used the ashes from the fire.Wastwater went out through the wall,and waterd the garden , no plumbing, chicken ate the leftovers.Instead of a plastic sponge we used the ouside fibres of old coconuts.Well water coming from a tab. you would use an outhouse and miniature pigs ate shit, ,you ate pig, or chicken, fed from the tablescrap. the garbage man came once a week, to collect the household´s trash. It was a small bag for 5 in 1 week. Never go to Goa, it´s gone. So sad you missed it.
