This song was the group's first (and only) number-one hit on the US Billboard Hot 100, and also reached number 3 in the United Kingdom. It ranks number 81 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop.
Like De La Soul, P.M. Dawn specialized in slow, somewhat psychedelic raps that stood out from the aggressive gangsta rap that was popular at the time. Like many psychedelic songs of the '60s and '70s, the lyrics didn't always make a lot of sense, but the songs elicited a peaceful vibe. This song is about setting your memories free.
Album: Of the heart, of the soul and of the cross: The utopian experience
