It made it to number 29 on the US Hot 100 Charts, and was nominated for a Grammy in 1997 for “Best Pop Performance.” Ballow said of the nomination: The music video predictably features the band in a peach field, with peaches the focal point.

I picture this front yard, and I picture you being otherwise influenced by… Lucy in the sky with diamonds, yeah. The band toured Australia for a reunion, and had an interview with Music Feeds and stated: Chris Ballew said he wrote the track about a girl he desired, and inspiration struck when he was “sitting under a peach tree she had her in her yard.” One of the most recognisable riffs of the ‘90s, “Peaches” was the third single from their self titled album.
