Sandy from Huntington, NyAfter reading Mackenzie Phillips' Autobiography, "High on Arrival" I see many parallels between this song and her life.Kira Pettet from Los AngelesI knew it was about Mackenzie Phillips instantly, Sandy-Huntington,Ny!!.She came from a rich Hollywood family, Her father was friends with Dennis Hopper, the girl in the video was named Dominique, and she certainly seen her share of devils in that angel town. Brian from PennsylvaniaI think it was inspired by the sad story of Dominique Dunne.Can’t believe it’s more than 20 years old. I’ve cried to this song more times than I can remember and I hope Shawn Mullins knows he’s literally saved lives with this song. Lindsey from Seattle, WaThis song has gotten me through so many rough times.Frank from ConnecticutAm I the only one who thought Shawn was doing a take off on Jack Nicholson? Sounds just like him.In 2004, he left the label, moving into Americana territory as an independent artist. In 2003, he released an album on Columbia with The Thorns, a group he formed with Pete Droge and Matthew Sweet, but that also flopped. "My creative side took over and I was like, 'I want to do something really different that would still be me,'" he said in his Songfacts interview. His next album, Beneath the Velvet Sun, was released in 2000 and went nowhere. For the next three years, he toured relentlessly, often as the opening act for the likes of Hootie & the Blowfish and Chris Isaak.īut Mullins never again reached the Hot 100. Columbia Records outbid Universal and Atlantic for his services, and released the song as Mullins' first major-label single. Thanks to this exposure, about 6,000 copies sold through record stores in the area, which got the attention of various record companies. The big break came when the Atlanta radio station 99X put it in rotation.
He was based in Atlanta, where he pressed copies of the single that were released independently. Mullins had been toiling on the road for several years when he wrote this song.
