KSSX (95.7 FM), also known as 95.7 KISS-FM, is an Urban Contemporary radio station located in San Diego, California, and is one of seven stations in the market owned and operated by iHeartMedia. The station's studios are located in San Diego's Kearny Mesa neighborhood on the northeast side, and the transmitter is in La Jolla.
This station has its roots as a Class A (local) station at 95.9 MHz known as KKOS, which was previously known as KARL (a MOR station from 1965-1979) and KUPR. During this period the station had various formats, including adult contemporary, CHR, and AAA.
On September 15, 1995, the station upgraded to Class B status, moved to 95.7 MHz, and became KUPR, still keeping the AAA format. In November 1996, the station stunted by playing 10,000 country songs in a row as "Your New Country, 95.7 KUPR". On March 5, 1997, the station flipped to Urban AC as "Magic 95.7" under new callsign KMCG.
The station was sold by Nationwide Communications to Jacor/Citicasters, and on October 5, 1998, Magic moved to 92.5, and 95.7 flipped to AC as "Mix 95.7" with the callsign changed to KMSX. The format was shifted to 80s music on November 11, 2000, a day after KBZT adopted the format. On November 21, 2001, the station swapped positions with KJQY and flipped to oldies as "K-Joy 95.7". On January 3, 2002, the station rebranded as "Kool 95.7" (with new callsign KOCL). On January 5, 2004, Kool moved to XHOCL-FM, and 95.7 adopted XHOCL's country format as "US 95.7" (the callsign was then changed to KUSS). The station would rebrand as "New Country 95.7" in September 2008.
She stands twelve feet above the flood
She stares
Alone
Across the water
The loneliness grows and slowly
Fills her frozen body
Sliding downwards
One by one her senses die
The memories fade
And leave her eyes
Still seeing worlds that never were
And one by one the bright birds leave her ...
Starting at the violent sound
She tries to turn
But final
Noiseless
Slips and strikes her soft dark head
The water bows
Receives her
And drowns her at its ease
Drowns her at its ease
I would have left the world all bleeding
Could I only help you love
The fleeting shapes
So many years ago
So young and beautiful and brave
Everything was true
It couldn't be a story
I wish it was all true
I wish it couldn't be a story
The words all left me
Lifeless
Hoping
Breathing like the drowning man
Oh Fushia
You leave me
Breathing like the drowning man
