Let’s start a new segment shall we? Welcome to your Throwback Thursday and a story that you may have never heard. It’s an absolutely incredible tale of humanity and just how great things can happen when people decide to help.
The 1993 Grammy Award winning Soul Asylum hit was written as a love song with not a heck of a lot of meaning behind it. However, the band decided to go a different direction with the music video showcasing missing children from across the United States.
A total of 36 children are shown in the video and 26 of them were actually found or their missing person case was resolved because they were featured. Now keep in mind, this was produced in a time when social media and the internet either weren’t invented or at all mainstream. So really all you had to rely on to find the missing was the newspaper, the TV, word of mouth or the side of a milk carton.
A lot of people look at this song as just another 90’s tune, but in many cases it either helped boost searches for the missing and or reopen cases for those lost or deceased.

Was there a reason to post this blog today? Not really. We just decided it’s a pretty epic rock story that needed to be retold for today’s Throwback Thursday.
