Bangles - Something To Believe In (Live from Santa Clara CA 9/2/89) *Audio* - Everything
Some people say that.... Some people say that you have to be a certain age to understand this next song, I don't think understanding what love is has anything to do with how old or how young you are. Go ahead Harpo ...
Song For A Good Son - The Bangles Doll Revolution
From "Doll Revolution"
Complicated Girl - The Bangles - Everything

Live from Santa Clara CA 9/2/89.
Ahhh. I like this! Some people say that we're a pretty weird band, you know everybody sings,
everybody writes, everybody plays. Gets a little confusing sometimes.  But when we do write,
which is most of the time we tend to write about subjects that are very personal to us.  This
next song is about my best friend - he was dating a girl at the time and he loved her.  And I
hated her!  And I couldn't,...I couldn't think of a way to say this to the guy so our first song
we wrote together turned out to be about it, and its called "Complilcated Girl".
