10 Perfect Rock Singles Of The 90s
3. Send Me On My Way - Rusted Root (1994)
After the emotional bleed fest of that last track, you're more than likely ready for something at the other side of the spectrum. Rusted Root are another band, who's mainstream recognition pales in comparison to their most popular track.
From Matilda to Ice Age, and every other TV show in-between, this song has an ability to imbue an overriding sense of joy into any situation. Whether you're skirting an ice ridge, or plotting to defeat your evil headmistress, this number will give you all the confidence required to do it with a carefree confidence.
Testimony to the songs allure, nobody has any issue joining in with singing the lyrics, despite half of them being inaudible... Michael Glabicki has an inhuman ability to pack as many syllables into a single second as possible. You know that line in the chorus that everybody mumbles differently? Those lyrics are: "you know what they say about the young". Go on, try sing those words with the same efficient confidence, that Glabicki does, it's impossible.
