Song of the Day #2071

Song of the Day: Dawson’s Creek (“I Don’t Want to Wait”), composed by Paula Cole, first appeared on the artist’s 1996 album, “The Fire“. It was a hit across pop, adult alternative, and adult contemporary platforms long before it was picked up as the opening theme to this WB series, which ran from 1998 to 2003. The series starred James Van Der Beek, Katie Holmes, Michelle Williams, and Joshua Jackson. Check out the original music video and its use in the opening credits to the show [YouTube links].
