Absolutely (Story Of A Girl)

 

Artist: Nine Days

Title: Absolutely (Story Of A Girl)

Album: Now That's What I Call Music!, #1's

With bands like Vertical Horizon and Lifehouse all over the airways, Nine Days was a welcome addition to playlists with "Absolutely (Story of a Girl)." The song was written by the lead singer John Hampson, and the girl who "cried a river and drown the whole world" was his girlfriend, Teresa Savino, who later became his wife. The song was a huge success, but Nine Days was not able to follow it up; Epic Records dropped the band and wouldn't release their second album because they didn't hear a hit. Hampson became a high school English teacher.
