Here's a not-too well known Sublime tune, recorded for the their self-titled album released in '96. This was actually their third and last album, atypical of eponymous album titles, which usually mark a debut.
However, it never made it onto this album and wasn't even put out as a single as planned because "Sublime" exceeded expectations and launched the band into infamy. That album was released two months after lead singer Brad Nowell's death, so that he was never able to see the far-reaching success of the band. However, the fame they had achieved even up until that point had been affecting Brad, and it is conveyed in this song. Other than Notorious B.I.G., I can't think of another artist that was only able to see two albums put out but make such a long-standing impact. Kind of ironic that the song about fame was cut from the album that went 5x Platinum, where every song has radio play.
