If you know this song, it came out in 1990-1991. But I could swear I heard
that song way before that time.
It just gives me that feeling I've known this song all my life!
Google says The La's are the original writers.
But I really doubt it. It really sounds like a 60-70's cover.
As if Tommy James and the Shondells could've wrote it.
Who knows a bit more?
Could you parents have this song on some old record from way back?

The song was originally by the LA's. It was re-released in 1999 by another group called "sixpence none the richer" it only got to No. 14

Early 90's was the original version, it just sounds like it's from an earlier time and has been played so much over the years that nobody really remembers when they first heard it.

It's just one of those songs that sounds like it could have been written anytime and that you swear you've heard before.
Not taking anything away from it, it is a pop classic, but it follows a rather traditional formula - that's what makes good pop 'good pop'.

It does sound familiar when you hear it, I have a wide range of 60's music and it is not a cover
Good Song though

Sorry to disappoint you, but it was an original composition.
It may wear it's influences happily on its sleeve, but it was not a cover version.
Their moment of glory, and still a great song.
