Words of Wisdom and Hope

Indie pop cratediggers, behold the miracle: Record Store Day 2026, Merge Records is reissuing Words of Wisdom and Hope, the 2002 album by Teenage Fanclub and Jad Fair. Available on vinyl for the first time since its original 2002 release, Words of Wisdom and Hope is accompanied by a bonus 7-inch, "Always In My Heart" b/w "Rock Me Tonight," with the B-side's North American debut making this the definitive edition of the album. Words of Wisdom and Hope is both a curio within Jad Fair's sprawling catalog and a left turn for Teenage Fanclub after the harmony-drenched jangle-pop of Howdy! Its charms — which are unrelenting from the moment Fair breaks in over the Fanclub's groove on "Behold the Miracle" to document the sparkle in the eye of a girl — are as obvious as they are mysterious: Is it Fair's spur-of-the-moment earnestness bringing out the rawer edges of Teenage Fanclub? Is it the polish of a band at one of several career peaks revealing new facets of the legendary Half Japanese frontman's songwriting?  Whatever it is, their sensibilities mesh together perfectly. Words of Wisdom and Hope finds the sweet spot between Teenage Fanclub's gorgeous Glaswegian pop soundscapes and Jad Fair's twitchy takes on love and monsters, like if Jonathan Richman were at the helm of Loaded-era Velvet Underground, somehow wide-eyed in its innocence and winkingly sly all at once. An album aimed directly at the biggest, tingliest part of the heart — play it loud for young crushes, and louder for something to remember young love by.

Just have to be careful not to take more than one per night or else wake up feeling like have a hangover
Size: 200 Count (Pack of 1)
Definitely works for me. Just have to be careful not to take more than one per night or else wake up feeling like have a hangover. Works great for me but not as well for my stepmother. She has severe insomnia and has been on sleeping medications for years. She tried taking this to go a more natural route but did not even affect her.

surprised!
I actually didn't realize I had ordered "time released" version. I thought these were just normal melatonin. But now that I've tried these, I love them so much better than the regular version! Helps me sleep better through the night. No taste, love this brand of Source Naturals.

The only one I'll use!
As the title says, this is the brand to get!! It's fast-acting, doesn't give me weird dreams like some do, and I never wake up feeling groggy.

Works wonders
I've been buying these for well over a year now as Subscribe and Save. I work 12 hour overnights as a nurse. My sleep schedule normally gets messed up. I would have no problem falling asleep but would wake up only a few hours later which is not good when you have work again that night. We buy these on Amazon due to the great price and the fact that they are extended release which helps keep me asleep longer. When I take 1 or 2 of them, I am able to sleep about 7-8 hours which is great. I take this both when I sleep during the day and sleep during the night. It helps me sleep no matter when and I am able to adjust my sleep schedule often. I have recommended them to many.

Works quite well, dose still a bit high for me
Used to take the Natrol 5mg slow release, now that I can compare these 2, I love this more. It doesn't make me feel too edgy, it's quite relaxing actually. I still have to halve the dose as the full dose makes me groggy the next day. Where the Natrol gave me very vivid, but not unpleasant dreams, these don't make me dream as vividly. It does take a bit longer to get me to sleep, but once asleep, your asleep. Highly recommend, once I finish this bottle, I'd get the 2mg tr next time, as a lower dose works better for me.
