Okay- it’s the preview of spin city’s season finale (the show)- the last one with michael j fox. the song is playing : “I try to say goodbye and I choke, try to walk away and I stumble…” I have never heard this song before. Does anyone know who sings it?

I really, _really_ hate that song. I think my worst experience with it is when my roommate’s alarm clock radio went off but did not wake him up; I had to wake up to **that song!**

it’s a fate I would only wish on my worst enemy . . .
