"Load Me Up" came out in 1999 as the second single from Beautiful Midnight, the third studio album by Canada's Matthew Good Band, and it went all the way to number one on the Canadian rock chart. It arrived between "Hello Time Bomb" and "Strange Days" and got a spot on MuchMusic's Big Shiny Tunes 5 compilation.
Its hold on Canadian radio never really slipped: between 1995 and 2016 it ranked ninth in airplay among songs by homegrown artists on the country's rock stations, and Vice put it first in its admittedly biased ranking of the 60 best CanRock songs ever. Good thought enough of it to cut it again in 2016 for his EP I Miss New Wave: Beautiful Midnight Revisited.
