The man at 1:21 was my grandfather. He let them film the video at his shop. He died when I was a baby, but it's nice to see him in motion this video. Even if it's just a little bit, it's more than enough for me.
yep,just think if u a kid in the 70s n a teen in the 80s ,great songs in the moments always stick with you,just remember no matter bad n good times theres always songs for you to get by n enjoy life one day at a time.
I am sorry for your loss Mr Schiller. I am glad that at least she had you to the end. Too many people give up on others to quick. I wish you peace sir. I hope you always feel the warmth of her love especially when you need to feel it thru your walk in this life. God Bless
So sorry prayers!! I feel your pain!! Didn’t lose any of my family dued to drugs so close !!! Thanks for sharing your story!!be strong 💪 god bless you!!!
Stay strong, brother... I can't say that I know how you feel in this particular situation. Not many can. But I pray for you to find peace and happiness in your life.
If you have ever loved someone with every fiber of your being, yet can’t save them from their own self destruction, then that last verse hits you right in the gut.
Or you tell that hood rat to kick rocks.. and you start anew... Never will I let that happen to me... I've worked to hard to get my s**t taken from me. Life isn't a yard sale... I like keeping the stuff I bought..
My God dude yeah me too. I was in high school at that time without a care in the world other than cars, girls, and having a little spending money from my job. Best times ever.
I need this song everyday. My wife suffers from bi polar disorder and schizophrenia. She just came back home couple of days ago. Happens every few months or so and all I can do is sit back with our baby and pray for her safe return
So hard that absolutely no one knows what you feel. or how you feel. Just keep on brother. There is a better life that you only have to wait for. Let us not forget that God is our greatest confidant and our way that helps us out of every life situation we find ourselves in. Prayers for you and your family.
Me and my dad painted Darius Rucker's home in Charleston SC in 1994.. It was painted yellow with black trim.. And when we were done he walked up after being on the road and told my dad "Nice job!" and signed my dad's tee shirt! I was so blown away all I could do was stare.. Dad said to me Pick up your tongue son he's only like you and me.. ! I still couldn't speak! I still remember it like it was yesterday..
my dad killed himself 5yrs ago this was his favorite band and song and I am a 37 yr old man Everytime I hear it I have to excuse my self to go cry cuz I miss him rip pops
Marissa I hope so I left the drug game and became a man I hoped he would be proud of I did 4tours in Iraq in the army airborne division I carry with me always he killed himself on mother's day so I don't celebrate it anymore but thanks for kind words
it's hard but I am running legal companies I haven't been shot in 6yrs since a month after my dad shot himself I was not a big believer in God and still don't go to church but he saved me you don't life the kinda life I was and not be dead or in prison forever thanks I try to keep my head up but I can't celebrate mother's day or father's day because of him doing what he did but it makes me want to be the father he wasn't god bless you all thanks it's hard some days
It’s going to fit in every time of life…there’s always That Guy tries to help her , cute little mess she needs ME because of her trauma, and THEN she does something Effed up, He catches her. Then she cries that he’s all she’s got.. Man he loves her so much it’s killing him. But she does it again and again and again. Except he knows this isn’t his life he imagined. It’s killing the both of them. He’s gotta be the one who lets go. And that’s heart wrenching. He finally understands. The sun comes up…birds still sing…World Turnin’….. Shake it off if you’re listening to this in that funk. It hurts a little less every day.. AND GHOST HER. For real I’m a girl, believe me, I have Seen some really humiliating shit women do to their men. And the other guy drops her off a block away from the house.yup, she was with the girls and the “ WINE” made her tired. Then blows you off hen she gets home. And you know she wasn’t where she says.
@@Earthangel63 I’m a 56 year old grown man and your comment explaining this song made me cry. I divorced in ‘98 and remember listening to this song at the time but not realizing what he was actually saying. Your comment explained my situation with my ex perfectly. Though I know I’m better off without her, the divorce destroyed my faith in women and I’ve never really recovered to the point I can trust again.
I dated someone like her too once. Wild, beautiful, reckless, passionate, creative, kind, but also self-destructive. Those are the ones you never forget. An adventure, a roller coaster of passion and emotions. What an experience to learn from as a young man in order to realize what I actually need.
Went through that with someone when I was in my early 20's. She didn't want to see what was right in front of her and got into shitty relationship after shitty relationship, turned to drugs to cope, and wound up dead a few years later. I'm in my 40's now, and married, and not a single day goes by where I don't think about what might have happened if I tried a little harder, or had the knowledge I have now back then. Some people just don't want to be saved, and that's the sad reality of it all.
@@jasonleightonDTAI 100% agree with you. I randomly found this song and read this message. I believe your comment is the message I needed to see. Thank you. ❤
You are so right. And not to separate from your point . . . but for me: "So I sat back down, and I had a beer, and felt" . . . sorry that I didn't have MORE beer (as it was the last one in my 'fridge'). Damn it!
He thought I was the only one caught in addiction but we both were. He loved this song and told me it was him singing to me. I got sober in 2001 he didn’t and died from a drug overdose in 2017, my heart has never been the same. But this song will always be my husband singing to me🙏❤️🙏 thank you ❤️❤️
This band saved my fucking life, and that's no God dame joke! This band, this album, this song exploded onto the seen at a time when I was out of fucking steam. I was a confused 14 year old kid stuck in a fucked up family, and no one to turn to. Then, this comes out and I just wanted to fucking cry my eyes out, because I knew that I had something to live for.
@@RealOGMudbone I'm a fan of Classic Rock and some old R&B too. Pink Floyd, Hall & Oates, the Eagles, Seals & Croft, Hendrix, Otis Redding, Al Green, The Supremes. The good tunes. The 90's have a special place in my heart though. Hootie & The Blowfish, Matchbox Twenty, Pearl Jam, Alanis Morissette, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Natalie Imbruglia. The 90's were awesome bro! I definitely took them for granted. '96-'99 were 3 very magical years.
@@territucker7926 Yeah. Plenty of Hootie music I like well enough. Not one of my favorite bands, but they did good stuff. But Darius' voice just flies. Terrific!
Do you guys know Mr Rucker has put out a bunch of solo albums as a country star? I worked with a guy who never heard of hootie and the blowfish but liked Darius Rucker.
Grew up in the 90s and thought Hootie & the Blowfish were good. The more & more I listen to this band today and actually listen to the lyrics of their songs, you realize they were actually miles above anyone they are compared to. Everything about this song in particular is just perfect. Darius' voice is perfect for the lyrics, the acoustic riffs, the speed of the song, everything is damn near perfect.
100% agree! I was so young listening to them in the late 90s-2000s and now i binge listen to them everyday lately. I even bought a sealed cassette of this album recently 😭🍻
❤ I can.... Born in the 60's- 70's , 80's and 90's Music 🎶🎵 had meaning Been there done that Blessed to be alive 😇🙏🕊️🤘😎🥰 Greetings from McAllen Texas 😎🔥!!!!!
I was a pre-teen/teen during the 90's and couldn't wait to see what the future held. Now that I see how the world and life are, I want the 90's to return. Everything was so much simpler and more peaceful back then.
It was the 80's for me but feel the same."At best, happiness is a fleeting emotion: a sensation to be enjoyed while it is here, however short the visit. Sadness, happiness' ugly twin, has the same fleeting visiting pattern. When sadness visits, we have to endure despite wanting rid of it."
@@self_cancelled1776 The 90's were the end of life as I once knew it and the beginning of a 9 to 5 mind numbing career struggle but the music was still good at least the early part of the decade!
@@pasander4371 Ahh the good ole 70's when people would leisurely change their car oil on a sunny Saturday and pour the old oil down the nearest storm drain. "The water will take it away son".
God Bless You Carrie. I can't imagine what you have been thru, but one thing I do know is (being that I had been in the program & had 8 years of sobriety & those were the absolute best 8 years of my life), that when you're sober & get to know who you really are & your potential. But, I think the best thing I took from my journey is I now have a spiritual relationship with my God, something I always wanted but could never find. I am sending prayers your way. Just pray & stay sober. God Bless You.
Thank you all for the support and love it really means a lot to me it was the hardest thing I have ever gone threw I don't wish on anyone but for a while I really thought I was dealing with it it was not till I got sober I realized I never felt with it I covered it up
I remember back in the 90s I used to get sick of their songs because I felt like they were "overplayed" compared to other songs I liked better...man I was taking them for granted! Give me these guys a million times over the kind of shit that's on the radio now. Time, why you punish me...
+boudicca storm i love your name sake, she was a true ass kicker. i think it was pretty shitty what Paulinus did to her after Prasutagus died, i just wish she had gotten to kill him.
I was lucky to know a good thing when I heard it...bought this CD and played the hell out of it. Now when I hear these songs again I get head to toe goose bumps! I loved the 80's but this song makes me miss a special part of the 90's.
@@godisaliveglobalismisdead8819 the extreme left is the problem not left wing per say extreme leftist gets offended by movies stand up comedy and they want to censor everything
I’m not like that but just like there’s conservatives and there’s extreme right wing who are racist & hateful Carry confederate flags. Extreme views are bad in both sides You can be a dem or a rep and be a good person but when you become extreme That’s the problem
I feel your pain.. stay strong.. my mom passed 5 yrs ago..it never gets easier but you learn to cope your loss and know that she is smiling down on you.
💜 this song always make me cry....! It reminds me of my sisters broken heart and her dealing with her depression. She in a good place now. I'm sorry for your loss, I lost my dad to drug addiction. 💜💜💜
The 90s caliber of songwritting be it ballads, rap, r&b, metal, rock, alternative is just a chasm of separation from todays lyrics. The songwriting is just poetic, real, from the heart, and that is why it transcends time and still applies today - and it will still resonate 20 - 50 years from now.
I've been listening to this since it first came out. I'm 60 years old. It doesn't matter, the ballads of this time period are still the best IMO. GETS YOU RIGHT IN YOUR FEELS 💜
Music as a whole has lost most of what makes music real. I think technology has made a negative impact on it. Also record labels and greed has fucked it all up.
My heart is hurting so badly. I lost my only child September 9. In Loving Memory of Kaylah Nicole aka Kenny. She went to be with Angels & Jesus. I’m praying so hard for a better 2021 World Love Vision Healing Pain, Shame & Addiction with Music & Art Love Therapy. Thank You SOOO MUCH Precious Great Spirit of Love for hearts like Christ, so no one feels left behind again and no Amazing Artists Lost too soon.
My life long partner of 40 years has battled addiction all our lives. Now, when she has won that battle, she gets hit with Stage 4 cancer. How much can one person withstand? She is the strongest person I know. She keeps fighting everyday. This song brings up so many memories and emotions. I stood by her through addiction and am standing by her now. It has been one hell of a life.
I understand if you are religious or not, but let me pray for you and your family. God's plan, as long as she keeps her feet in the dirt. God Bless, Much love.
I had fought addiction for the last 30 years 14 detox centers 3 over doses. Which one over dose was on the way to Detox. I have been clean going on 30 days now and getting stronger each day. I hope she gets better brother
Way to go, DUDE!!! Both of you hang in there!!! God will take care of your LADY!!! HES an AMAZING God!!! My 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 prayers will be with you and your LADY!!!
Hootie and the Blowfish....so beautiful! His voice just sinks right into your chest and unlocks all this emotion. Truly a thing of beauty, will never lose its power.
I really appreciate all your lovely support and encouragement towards my work. I’m very grateful and thankful to have you as a supportive fan that cares so much❤️😘😍✅💕🙏
Saw them in Glasgow over 20 years ago, will never forget it, they wouldn’t stop, we wouldn’t let them, they played over time nearly an hour, my favourite band EVER !!
20 years old …. living out my car … drunk … playing this on repeat and singing it at the top of my lungs. I remember her. I want to tell her it gets better.
Dude , this is gonna fade . Everything does. Cry it out, just don’t give up cause you were put here to do great things. Even just making a stranger laugh..it echoes through the web of life. WE NEED YOU !!!! 😘😘✌️✌️✌️
It’s hard if not impossible to compete with a bottle, a pill, a line, a needle … for those of us that were determined to try, we learn that when in love with an addict, we’ll never be number one, and rarely even number two in their lives. I myself became an addict to join the misery instead of letting go. That was some time ago. Although I’ve healed, I still feel others pain in the core of my heart. Peace to all of you. ❤️✝️
anyone who didn't like this song has never been balls deep in love. the one that no matter how many years pass and how bad it got you still think about her /him and wonder.
This song hits hard to me ! After I lost my twin son's and my mom and dad all between 2009 and 2011. I cried for 3 years! And I could not control where I was , the tears would just fall. I could be at the bank or grocery store. This is my favorite song that describes me in that time of my life!!! Tears 😢
This is probably one of the most powerful, emotional songs of the era. The lyrics sometimes brings me to tears. I have always been that guy that would run over 10 good girls to get to that rotten one and I have suffered in the process. Love this song
I feel the same and have done the same. Your comment reminds me of a saying I once heard: "Never ignore a person that loves and cares for you, because one day you may realize that you've lost the moon while chasing the stars".
when you're living in the 90s and the Blowfish are just living along with you as background music at a bar or a party or wherever or even just playing it in your car, you don't realize until 20 years later just how much it was a part of your life. Rucker's voice is timeless.
Ryan Yoder This is not an underrated song. Where did you get that from? Just because you might of just heard it, and realized, you don't hear it everywhere, never ment it wasn't BIG when it came out.
dscott351 Dudes thinking meatloaf is bad as well with his logic. In my opinion he insulted the song and band. Some people man, blow my mind with their logic. (Right after I post this I'm having a beer and feeling sorry for this fool)
I've said this, and I will continue to say it; the 80's and the 90's were the Golden Age of music. For they truly had passion, meaning, and emotion like no other.
i am with you on that . time is cruel and so is this NOT music crap . i never thought i would say Adam Levine is great . he is the closest to rock we have . watch his " purple rain " tribute with Trains lead singer . Adam can rip a guitar apart . trust me . btw , long live the 80's .
I was living in a family shelter with my mom when this album came out, one of the other moms let us borrow the cassette and I would just sit in our room listening to this on our little boom box.
E A I do not miss the 90s. That's when I had to become a responsible adult, raise children, have a career or job. It was a very stressful time. I often took comfort in MY music--the 60s-70s.
@@jschuler53 I was still a kid in the 90s, so these were my similar less stressful times. We played outside until the porch lights came on. We played flashlight tag, we went to blockbuster to rent VHS tapes, and we met up at skating rinks on the weekends.
My oldest was born in 1990... I love that my girls were raised with awesome music 🎶 and we can still listen, and go to a better place with the lyrics together!
My parents took me to see these guys in 2009 I think, and as a teenager I just kept thinking about how lame it was going to be. Looking back, it was probably one of the best experiences of my life with my parents and I’ll never forget how much they enjoyed me being able to experience it with them. Nowadays this music is pure nostalgia and i just imagine how many great moments in people’s lives this band must be responsible for.
That’s an AWSOME story. Music can connect people and bring back memories like nothing else. I’m glad you have that experience and the memory to keep with you the rest of your life.
I heard this song on the radio and I knew who was singing bc my mom n aunt already played Darius Rucker country music around me . This song nowadays is just relatable now that I’ve came back to this side of music
"maybe I'll be back someday" I have been listening to this song a lot my dad is dying of cancer and he has been struggling this song will always remind me of my dad I love you dad
@user-hn1uy9uw2n thank you for your kind words! If you don't already do this introduce your kids to your favorite music so that someday when you are gone they will have something to go back and listen to to remember you by! Even if they don't like the music someday they will appreciate it there is a lot of music I didn't like listening to with my dad that I find comfort in now! He was a huge 90s alternative fan I miss him so much cherish all the time with your kids!
@@agentbong138 ...you just proved Nathan F point. Should have been number 1 for a few weeks. Therefore, it was underrated! All the other crap you hear at number 1 and this song never got higher than 9...I called that underrated! lol
This is a song to have a drink alone outside and allow yourself to feel sorry for yourself for a while..im a growm man but this song can make you kinda teary
I was born in '89... my Dad LOVED this song... and so do i... "dads the one i loved the MOST" ... he died in '96 but i could NEVER forget him BLASTIN this, singing along with it... i assume it reminded him of my mom, she kinda crushed him... but thankful for the memory anyway
🎶 LYRICS 🎶 She sits alone by a lamp post Tryin' to find the thought that's escaped her mind She says, "Dad's the one I love the most But Stipe's not far behind" She never lets me in, only tells me where she's been When she's had too much to drink I say that I don't care, I just run my hands through her dark hair Then I pray to God you gotta help me fly away And just let her cry if the tears fall down like rain Let her sing if it eases all her pain Let her go, let her walk right out on me And if the sun comes up tomorrow, let her be, let her be This morning I woke up alone, found a note standing by the phone Sayin', "Maybe, maybe I'll be back someday" I wanted to look for you You walked in, I didn't know just what I should do So I sat back down and had a beer and felt sorry for myself Sayin' let her cry if the tears fall down like rain Let her sing if it eases all her pain Let her go, let her walk right out on me And if the sun comes up tomorrow, let her be, let her be No, no, no, no Let her cry let her cry if the tears fall down like rain Let her sing if it eases all her pain Let her go, let her walk right out on me And if the sun comes up tomorrow, let her be, ah Last night I tried to leave, cried so much I could not believe She was the same girl I fell in love with long ago She went in the back to get high I sat down on my couch and cried, yellin' "Oh, mama, please help me" Won't you hold my hand and Let her cry if the tears fall down like rain Let her sing if it eases all her pain Let her go, let her walk right out on me And if the sun comes up tomorrow, let her be Let her cry, if the tears fall down like rain Let her sing, if it eases all her pain Let her go, let her walk right out on me And if the sun comes up tomorrow, let her be Ah, let her be
My mom told me when she went to Tennesse she missed her flight and Darius Rucker said my mom could fly on his private jet and he sang songs for my family. (THIS IS TRUE. I HAVE VIDEO FOOTAGE.)
+Ginger Mawyer DAMN,dnt bust his bubble let him have it....you dnt know so why hate? I love this song and I believe you about him I heard he is good to all ppl......I'm so happy your mom got to see all this......
Takes me way way back to when life had no worries and everyday was perfect looking back at it all now not giving a shit just riding around all night bull shitting having a blast
I still remember carrying my ex wife to bed when she became addicted to pills and alcohol. A few years later our marrriage ended. Afterward, her eyes became so empty and lifeless. I tried and tried but there was nothing i could do until she wanted to stop. Luckily she eventually did and is better now. I'll never forget the first time we met when we were 8 years old.
Todd Lehman LET HER CRY AND HOLD HER EVEN WHEN SHE PULLS AWAY, I KNOW BECAUSE I SUFFER FROM THE SAME, SHE'S MORE THAN WELCOME TO CONTACT ME IF SHE SHOULD NEED A FRIEND, I GOT 20 YEARS OF ANXIETY DISORDERS....GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR WIFE ✌
Beautiful song. My mom and sister lost their battle with addiction. God knows I’m not the same without them. This song makes them feel alive again for a moment.
I love my younger my sister with ever fiber of my being but I can't help her with her drug addiction & this song hits me so hard every time I hear it. She has 1 year to live & I'll always remember this song for her. Everyone out there please keep a prayer goinf for my sister Lyn. Blessings to you all.🙏
I took my daughter to see Hootie and the Blowfish using tickets I won in a radio contest, right before they hit it big. They were playing at a National Guard Armory. 😊 Good memory.
Having grown up in the 70's, I witnessed the caliber of songwriters that came out during that period. Quality songwriting. Heartfelt songs with meaning behind the words they wrote. Words that came from their hearts and souls and that touched those who listened to them. Words that people could relate to. This song takes me back to those days of quality wordsmiths. There is more to music than to simply entertain. It reminds us that as different as we are, we share one very important thing.....emotions. If this song doesn't move you, than you may be listening to the words, but your aren't hearing them.
+Jim Payette I hear ya, and just watching a few seconds of it, not only did my ears bleed, but so did my eyes. I don't get how people can like that kind of music, it's so vulgar.
I remember this song was my relief at the end of a 3-11 shift. New baby boy at home. Had to get back to work tho. This song made me e feel strong. Like i could do it!. That kid is 37 now. And this song still gives me strength. Love you Darius and the Blow Fish
![The Dead South - In Hell I'll Be In Good Company [Official Music Video]](/img/n.gif)
The man at 1:21 was my grandfather. He let them film the video at his shop. He died when I was a baby, but it's nice to see him in motion this video. Even if it's just a little bit, it's more than enough for me.
That's cool, RIP
Rip to your granpa
Thats awesome, really nice
He looks like he was a Kind man. RIP
@@alexeus5735 from what I hear he was for the most part. Mellowed out in his later years.
If I close my eyes listening to this song I can almost taste the Air of a sunny 90's afternoon... Anyone here knows what I mean?
I do, I listened to this, time and hold my hand every single day on mtv
I still have this CD.
It's one of my favorites.
Yeah I can
I can smell it...
Taste it...
Feel it...
Ahh the 90s
Loved the 90's that was my time!!!
yep,just think if u a kid in the 70s n a teen in the 80s ,great songs in the moments always stick with you,just remember no matter bad n good times theres always songs for you to get by n enjoy life one day at a time.
We didn't know how good we had it in the 90's. Help us lord!
I agree this definitely reminds me of the 90s real music with instruments. I miss alternative music.
Stay strong!!
One of the best comments I’ve ever seen on TH-cam.
💯 AGREED
Look at all us 40+ year olds thinking about a better time.
Its 2024 who else thinks this a great song.
Hell yeah!!
Great song in 2024 🎉
A classic
I hear you Brother…
Love this song
Lost my love to an overdose. We fought for years over her drug use. The demons finally won. I will never forget her. I will never stop crying.
I am sorry for your loss Mr Schiller. I am glad that at least she had you to the end. Too many people give up on others to quick. I wish you peace sir. I hope you always feel the warmth of her love especially when you need to feel it thru your walk in this life. God Bless
So sorry prayers!! I feel your pain!! Didn’t lose any of my family dued to drugs so close !!! Thanks for sharing your story!!be strong 💪 god bless you!!!
Same here! After 12 years it gets better
Stay strong, brother... I can't say that I know how you feel in this particular situation. Not many can. But I pray for you to find peace and happiness in your life.
You are not alone, it's been 10 years. I couldn't save the woman of my life ,alcohol was drug of choice. I still cry when I hear this song.
If you have ever loved someone with every fiber of your being, yet can’t save them from their own self destruction, then that last verse hits you right in the gut.
This comment along with the song hit me bro
Going through this now…damn I love you baby! Only 20 years old!
That is so true!! GOD BLESS!!
Or you tell that hood rat to kick rocks.. and you start anew... Never will I let that happen to me... I've worked to hard to get my s**t taken from me. Life isn't a yard sale... I like keeping the stuff I bought..
Yes it does I hope she gets the help she needs before it's too late
If i could only go back in time and stay it would be the late 90s. Pre-9/11, Pre social media, Pre all the bullshit.
@ Adam Me too!🎶🎵🎶💜💜
My God dude yeah me too. I was in high school at that time without a care in the world other than cars, girls, and having a little spending money from my job. Best times ever.
So so true
My 2 oldest teen sons listened to this all the time and my 4 year old would run all over the house screaming hooooootie
Amen brother it makes me so sad to know it's gone. 5
it's like a close friend or relative died. Gone... Gone......
I need this song everyday. My wife suffers from bi polar disorder and schizophrenia. She just came back home couple of days ago. Happens every few months or so and all I can do is sit back with our baby and pray for her safe return
I wish you and your family all the healing, my friend. Bless you.
🙏🏼♥️
I suffer from bipolar
So hard that absolutely no one knows what you feel. or how you feel. Just keep on brother. There is a better life that you only have to wait for. Let us not forget that God is our greatest confidant and our way that helps us out of every life situation we find ourselves in. Prayers for you and your family.
Prayers for your wife my friend ❤
I didn’t realize I would have to go through so much more in life before I could appreciate hootie
Man.... what a comment. Felt to the max. I hope we're on the ladder end of it lol
Amen
So true
That gave me chills
You can tell from the songs they wrote, that they must be amazing human beings!
Me and my dad painted Darius Rucker's home in Charleston SC in 1994.. It was painted yellow with black trim.. And when we were done he walked up after being on the road and told my dad "Nice job!" and signed my dad's tee shirt! I was so blown away all I could do was stare.. Dad said to me Pick up your tongue son he's only like you and me.. ! I still couldn't speak! I still remember it like it was yesterday..
Cool story from a neat old southern city that is worth the visit, down there 20 years ago and hope to make it back sometime!!
That's AWESOME...
Nice! AWESOME memory... Thanks for sharing.

I dont care - this song is 30 years old and to this day is still one of my top 5 go to tunes. Love this song and never gets old.
To me,it's not a sad song,but a beautiful lulibye song...
Lies again? NASCAR F1 WRC Grab Car
I hear you brother!!👊
It’s going to fit in every time of life…there’s always That Guy tries to help her , cute little mess she needs ME because of her trauma, and THEN she does something Effed up, He catches her. Then she cries that he’s all she’s got.. Man he loves her so much it’s killing him. But she does it again and again and again. Except he knows this isn’t his life he imagined. It’s killing the both of them.
He’s gotta be the one who lets go. And that’s heart wrenching. He finally understands. The sun comes up…birds still sing…World Turnin’….. Shake it off if you’re listening to this in that funk. It hurts a little less every day.. AND GHOST HER. For real
I’m a girl, believe me, I have Seen some really humiliating shit women do to their men. And the other guy drops her off a block away from the house.yup, she was with the girls and the “ WINE” made her tired. Then blows you off hen she gets home. And you know she wasn’t where she says.
@@Earthangel63 I’m a 56 year old grown man and your comment explaining this song made me cry. I divorced in ‘98 and remember listening to this song at the time but not realizing what he was actually saying. Your comment explained my situation with my ex perfectly.
Though I know I’m better off without her, the divorce destroyed my faith in women and I’ve never really recovered to the point I can trust again.
Love how this band was just average dressed working class dudes not trying to be trendy and cocky.
Especially with Darius Rucker. I went to school with his cousins. His uncle is a Dr in my town. Just good ppl from SC.
welcome to the 90s
Sev Anderson took the words right outta my mouth, good times man
Didn't sell there soul
Was the 90s
I dated someone like her too once. Wild, beautiful, reckless, passionate, creative, kind, but also self-destructive. Those are the ones you never forget. An adventure, a roller coaster of passion and emotions. What an experience to learn from as a young man in order to realize what I actually need.
Just went through something similar as a man in my late 20s, and gosh its definitely something. Hopefully in time I can come to grow from it
Went through that with someone when I was in my early 20's. She didn't want to see what was right in front of her and got into shitty relationship after shitty relationship, turned to drugs to cope, and wound up dead a few years later. I'm in my 40's now, and married, and not a single day goes by where I don't think about what might have happened if I tried a little harder, or had the knowledge I have now back then. Some people just don't want to be saved, and that's the sad reality of it all.

@@territucker7926 Yeah. Plenty of Hootie music I like well enough. Not one of my favorite bands, but they did good stuff. But Darius' voice just flies. Terrific!
Do you guys know Mr Rucker has put out a bunch of solo albums as a country star? I worked with a guy who never heard of hootie and the blowfish but liked Darius Rucker.
Grew up in the 90s and thought Hootie & the Blowfish were good. The more & more I listen to this band today and actually listen to the lyrics of their songs, you realize they were actually miles above anyone they are compared to. Everything about this song in particular is just perfect. Darius' voice is perfect for the lyrics, the acoustic riffs, the speed of the song, everything is damn near perfect.
I totally agree! I’ve always loved his voice!
100% agree! I was so young listening to them in the late 90s-2000s and now i binge listen to them everyday lately. I even bought a sealed cassette of this album recently 😭🍻

Greetings from McAllen Texas 😎🔥!!!!!
Ive loved this band but have never seen them in person hootie tours this year 2024 hope to catch him in Charlotte NC
Could not have said it any better than that. Loved it then and even more so now.
I was a pre-teen/teen during the 90's and couldn't wait to see what the future held. Now that I see how the world and life are, I want the 90's to return. Everything was so much simpler and more peaceful back then.
It was the 80's for me but feel the same."At best, happiness is a fleeting emotion: a sensation to be enjoyed while it is here, however short the visit. Sadness, happiness' ugly twin, has the same fleeting visiting pattern. When sadness visits, we have to endure despite wanting rid of it."
You and me both. I’m 54 and long for the 90’s when life was much simpler.
Now imagine how I fell about the 70s...

Sorry for your loss kiddo
+Rbrenn Brennn thank you
so sorry for your loss.
God Bless You Carrie. I can't imagine what you have been thru, but one thing I do know is (being that I had been in the program & had 8 years of sobriety & those were the absolute best 8 years of my life), that when you're sober & get to know who you really are & your potential. But, I think the best thing I took from my journey is I now have a spiritual relationship with my God, something I always wanted but could never find. I am sending prayers your way. Just pray & stay sober. God Bless You.
Thank you all for the support and love it really means a lot to me it was the hardest thing I have ever gone threw I don't wish on anyone but for a while I really thought I was dealing with it it was not till I got sober I realized I never felt with it I covered it up
26 years later.. Still one of the best songs written.

For sure...
One of the best
Man where does time go !!!!
Can't believe it's been that long ago....damn, I can only reminisce.😥
God dam this song brings me back....miss those days
I remember back in the 90s I used to get sick of their songs because I felt like they were "overplayed" compared to other songs I liked better...man I was taking them for granted! Give me these guys a million times over the kind of shit that's on the radio now. Time, why you punish me...

The 90s caliber of songwritting be it ballads, rap, r&b, metal, rock, alternative is just a chasm of separation from todays lyrics. The songwriting is just poetic, real, from the heart, and that is why it transcends time and still applies today - and it will still resonate 20 - 50 years from now.

One of the most powerful songs I've heard with one of the best storytellers love this man and this band.
It’s hard if not impossible to compete with a bottle, a pill, a line, a needle … for those of us that were determined to try, we learn that when in love with an addict, we’ll never be number one, and rarely even number two in their lives. I myself became an addict to join the misery instead of letting go.
That was some time ago. Although I’ve healed, I still feel others pain in the core of my heart. Peace to all of you. ❤️✝️

when you're living in the 90s and the Blowfish are just living along with you as background music at a bar or a party or wherever or even just playing it in your car, you don't realize until 20 years later just how much it was a part of your life. Rucker's voice is timeless.

My pops.. with KISS!! First time I found out my dad and I had a common extra curricular interest.. 🌬️🥦
"maybe I'll be back someday" I have been listening to this song a lot my dad is dying of cancer and he has been struggling this song will always remind me of my dad I love you dad
Dad passed away dec 7th thinking of u dad
@user-hn1uy9uw2n thank you for your kind words! If you don't already do this introduce your kids to your favorite music so that someday when you are gone they will have something to go back and listen to to remember you by! Even if they don't like the music someday they will appreciate it there is a lot of music I didn't like listening to with my dad that I find comfort in now! He was a huge 90s alternative fan I miss him so much cherish all the time with your kids!
@@OfficiallyFall2024I’m so sorry for your loss. 💔💔💔
One of the most underrated songs ever
Nothing underrated about it
Let Her Cry
Hootie & The Blowfish
Peaked at #9 on 7.8.1995
35 weeks on billboard hot100
Not bad at all
@@agentbong138 ...you just proved Nathan F point. Should have been number 1 for a few weeks. Therefore, it was underrated!
All the other crap you hear at number 1 and this song never got higher than 9...I called that underrated! lol
Steven one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard and one of the best ever IMO. I don’t say that lightly. Extremely underrated.
One of the most underrated vocalist to this day!
2024 anyone?

🎶 LYRICS 🎶
She sits alone by a lamp post
Tryin' to find the thought that's escaped her mind
She says, "Dad's the one I love the most
But Stipe's not far behind"
She never lets me in, only tells me where she's been
When she's had too much to drink
I say that I don't care, I just run my hands through her dark hair
Then I pray to God you gotta help me fly away
And just let her cry if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing if it eases all her pain
Let her go, let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow, let her be, let her be
This morning I woke up alone, found a note standing by the phone
Sayin', "Maybe, maybe I'll be back someday"
I wanted to look for you
You walked in, I didn't know just what I should do
So I sat back down and had a beer and felt sorry for myself
Sayin' let her cry if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing if it eases all her pain
Let her go, let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow, let her be, let her be
No, no, no, no
Let her cry let her cry if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing if it eases all her pain
Let her go, let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow, let her be, ah
Last night I tried to leave, cried so much I could not believe
She was the same girl I fell in love with long ago
She went in the back to get high
I sat down on my couch and cried, yellin'
"Oh, mama, please help me"
Won't you hold my hand and
Let her cry if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing if it eases all her pain
Let her go, let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow, let her be
Let her cry, if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing, if it eases all her pain
Let her go, let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow, let her be
Ah, let her be
Thank you
Dar's the one I love the most, short for Darius
@@heatherboren2147... Exactly and Stipe as in Michael Stipe's not far behind
My mom told me when she went to Tennesse she missed her flight and Darius Rucker said my mom could fly on his private jet and he sang songs for my family. (THIS IS TRUE. I HAVE VIDEO FOOTAGE.)
You have video footage of your mom telling you about her "experience" with Darius Rucker on his private jet? Um...ok. lol
+Ginger Mawyer DAMN,dnt bust his bubble let him have it....you dnt know so why hate? I love this song and I believe you about him I heard he is good to all ppl......I'm so happy your mom got to see all this......
Guy has some serious talent. I'd love too sit around a campfire with some cold beer listening to him jam.
Monica said , wow, stand-up man . that's so great ! Awesomeness ! ANYONE friends with the duck caller family is a friend of mine !!
Sianna Bankey this is because the business hadn't stolen his humanity yet, and I pray to God it never does
Still crying to this song in 2023 🥰 80/90s era was the best and so very nostalgic if your in your mid 30s,40s❤️❤️
I turn 35 tomorrow
I’m 36, same. Smart phones changed society for the worse
@@JonCooper86 opinions, very. But one thing is agreed. The 80's& 90's were special
Takes me way way back to when life had no worries and everyday was perfect looking back at it all now not giving a shit just riding around all night bull shitting having a blast
Its beautiful
I still remember carrying my ex wife to bed when she became addicted to pills and alcohol. A few years later our marrriage ended. Afterward, her eyes became so empty and lifeless. I tried and tried but there was nothing i could do until she wanted to stop. Luckily she eventually did and is better now. I'll never forget the first time we met when we were 8 years old.
my girl is struggling with depression. im trying to help her. im lost. I Let Her Cry
Todd Lehman so sorry to hear.
Todd Lehman
thanks
Todd Lehman ❤
Todd Lehman LET HER CRY AND HOLD HER EVEN WHEN SHE PULLS AWAY, I KNOW BECAUSE I SUFFER FROM THE SAME, SHE'S MORE THAN WELCOME TO CONTACT ME IF SHE SHOULD NEED A FRIEND, I GOT 20 YEARS OF ANXIETY DISORDERS....GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR WIFE ✌
Beautiful song. My mom and sister lost their battle with addiction. God knows I’m not the same without them. This song makes them feel alive again for a moment.
Amen......
My brother died May 14, 2021 of stage four pancreatic cancer. It was brought on by his daily drug use...☹️
@@nathanieldaiken1064 my brother was killed by a drunk driver Aug 21.2012 7 days from his 24Th bday. Still haunts me to this day
Thank you for sharing. I'm very sorry for your loss.
♥️♥️♥️
I love my younger my sister with ever fiber of my being but I can't help her with her drug addiction & this song hits me so hard every time I hear it. She has 1 year to live & I'll always remember this song for her. Everyone out there please keep a prayer goinf for my sister Lyn. Blessings to you all.🙏
I'm so sorry 😢. God bless you both.
@@bridgetanderson2480 Thank you so much.🌹
Lifting Lyn in prayer
@@trinajusticebaker5840 Thank You So Much. Need all The prayers we can get..🌹
...now you've really made me cry😢
I took my daughter to see Hootie and the Blowfish using tickets I won in a radio contest, right before they hit it big. They were playing at a National Guard Armory. 😊 Good memory.
Having grown up in the 70's, I witnessed the caliber of songwriters that came out during that period. Quality songwriting. Heartfelt songs with meaning behind the words they wrote. Words that came from their hearts and souls and that touched those who listened to them. Words that people could relate to. This song takes me back to those days of quality wordsmiths. There is more to music than to simply entertain. It reminds us that as different as we are, we share one very important thing.....emotions. If this song doesn't move you, than you may be listening to the words, but your aren't hearing them.
Word!!!
Olga Levin I must be missing something here. May I ask what point you are trying to convey.
Sorry. Using slang here. When someone says "word!" It means they agree with what you said.
Olga Levin Oh, I had no clue. Thanks for the info. Much appreciated!
MissDistarr60 YOU ARE TOO COLLEGE INDEPTH KEEP IT REAL .....
A friend showed me the Nicki Minaj song Anaconda. My ears bled. I came here for healing. Already I'm feeling better...
hahahaha
You poor thing.
+Jim Payette I hear ya, and just watching a few seconds of it, not only did my ears bleed, but so did my eyes. I don't get how people can like that kind of music, it's so vulgar.
+Jim Payette Thank's cool dawg. I came here after listening to that song. Turns out musical tastes are eclectic and vary by person to person.
Who is Nicki Minaj, and what is Anaconda? I guess a rap song or something DJ related?
bout to sing this song for school talent show coming up wish me luck
Good luck this song is so beautiful. I have a feeling you'll do great.
How'd it go mate?
Good luck .... From Baja California Mex.
Russell plays how did it go??? I speak for the masses!!! Proud of you little bro
How did you do ??
I remember this song was my relief at the end of a 3-11 shift. New baby boy at home. Had to get back to work tho. This song made me e feel strong. Like i could do it!. That kid is 37 now. And this song still gives me strength. Love you Darius and the Blow Fish
This is one of those songs you can listen to over and over and never get tired of it..
Yes girl... It just pulls at my heart cause every since I was little it has reminded me of my mom
Jenn that's what good music is all about. I'll love this till the day a die
AMEN sista
Jenn ok
Heard this song so many times , incredible voice so much depth meaning , outstanding Darius
Couldn’t have said it any better!
