"Apparitions" was the third single the Matthew Good Band lifted from Underdogs, their second studio album, and Mercury sent it out in 1998, after "Indestructible" and ahead of "Rico". It's alternative rock with a brooding, searching streak, and Canada took to it in a big way: the song landed a Best Single nomination at the 1999 Juno Awards, and a trimmed-down edit turned up on MuchMusic's compilation Big Shiny Tunes 3.
Its author rates it, too. Matthew Good counts "Apparitions" among the best things he has ever written.
