At 52, this brings back a flood of memories. Call your mom, tell you dad you appreciate him. Forgive your kids for their mistakes and always keep the door open to them. When the days are gone, you don’t get them back. Same with people. When they are gone… only the memories remain. I don’t want to go back now. Not too much further to go so I have a lot to look forward to! Can’t wait to discover the answers to every question. Love yourself more. Do more. Be happy just because. It’s all worth it.
Born in 85. This song brings me back to all the great times in the 90s. The last generation of kids who got to connect as kids without the distraction of social media.
I am an 80s baby. This song reminds me of when I was 16 yrs old and pregnant. He ran and I decided to step up and keep my son. He's the best thing that has ever happened to me.
My mom used to say "one day you'll wake up and 20 years have gone by." I understand now what she meant. The nostalgia hits hard for the 90's with this one.
My niece asked me if I felt bad when I turned 41 in December. I said, "No, honey, I feel great. I wouldn't go back a change a thing." I can't imagine growing up in the world we live in now. I'm so blessed I got to experience my formative years without to much internet, social media addiction and social turmoil.
Mmmm, I agree that that there's too much internet and social media, but I feel like if you grew up in Eastern Europe in the 90s, you wouldn't be complaining about social turmoil nowadays. Unless, of course, you're being hyperbolic and referring to cancel culture as "social turmoil"
Back in the pre social media hellscape "you had to be there" or "you missed it" was the most crushing statement you could hear going back to school on a Monday morning. Now kids DONT live in the moment because they are too busy either hash tagging, tweeting or posting what they are doing rather than having fun!

Sitting here at work, 40 years old. reminiscing about my teens and early 20's. I personally think coming of age in the 90's was an experience unlike any other decade, and Im so glad i had the chance to live in a time when you could just disconnect and truly relax. 80's babies RULE!!!!!
@@mowglifromthejungle5614 86' here and I've always thought about the best time to be born. Ritrous brothers has me question my bias opinion, people back in your father, grandfather days had some serious game going on and way more style.
If you did not live in the 90's you just don't know......it was a time with JUST ENOUGH technology---but not to much . There was a vibe, and people were more social and compassionate. Every weekend---gathering at a friend's apartment and meeting new people around a bottle of wine and maybe smoking a little in a small college town. Seeing your future wife for the first time and talking about music and laughing with everyone. It makes me tear up----it was such a special time in history.....before people were obsessed with social media. Of course we had the internet, but NO ONE wanted to be stuck in front of a computer on Friday night. It is bittersweet to go back there in my mind----feels like if I stay to long I might cry.....
I couldn't of said it better myself. There was just something about the 90's and when I think back on it, it was such a great time and I miss it a ton! You are right though. Just enough technology. People where more open and friendly and not so passive aggressive hiding behind there screens. When you go to an event or a concert now a days all you see is everyone's face in their phones. Back in the day everyone was looking at the stage. Not worried about documenting every little thing. It makes me sick that these people don't realize that life is passing them by because they are never in the moment. They are more worried about FOMO, Documenting and where everyone else is. Someone needs to make a time machine and then make it never go over 2000. :)
There was a decade, sandwiched between the end of the cold war and the start of the post 9/11 world. A decade of great music, hope for the future, and genuine human connections. We saw the birth of some amazing new technology, but it didn't control us yet. It wasn't perfect, but it was damn near close. Ladies and gentlemen that decade was the 90's.
Chris day I was born in 1983. The 90's were going on during the most important parts of my life and I'm so glad I had the opportunity to live in that decade. Unless you lived through them, you really cannot begin to imagine.
“For the life of me, I can not remember what made us think we were wise…..” this song is even more meaningful and telling now that I am in my 40s. TIMELESS
This song came out when I was just a freshman at life. Damn, it goes by fast. Live it up young one’s. It will fly by. You’ll look back at 40 and wonder where 20 years went. I still feel like a kid, but I’m not. Peace & love to you all. 💛
00’s started the tone of rock to party rock. I was born in 92. Sucks knowing I’m a true millennial when I feel I would’ve enjoyed my formative years more if I was born maybe in 86-88. I always gravitate to people older than me. I always enjoyed sharing thoughts deeper than “did you see that meme?”. When I graduated high school in 2011 I had 3 friends from school the rest of my friends were in their late 20’s and early 30’s. We enjoyed listening to music, working out, camping, fighting (boxing and mma). And everything happened for a reason. Now the only reason anything seems to happen is for likes and shares.
Best friend wrote these lyrics in our freshman yearbook, sadly she passed away the next year from a cardiac episode during crew practice. I'll never forget that day. Over 20 years later. RIP Danica Canfield.
Some of the eighties, all of the nineties, and just a little of the early 2000's was such an epic time in music (and in general). It's not such a great world musically anymore. :(
I was a kid in the 70s, teen in the 80s, college in the 90s. I thought it was only going to get better after the 90s. Boy, was I wrong. 90s was the last great decade.
Greed and commercialism destroyed this country, and Republicans let corporations and the top 10% ruin everything, creating worse planet of pollution and income inequality, gerrymandering picking their voters, instead of voters picking their politicians. Lie, cheat steal elections, Now they're destroying the US in the next few years and will create an autocracy if they aren't stopped. Need the voting Rights bill now. I was raised by my grandparents the greatest generation that lived through the depression and fought through WW2, went to Catholic school & boy scouts, they taught me what was right and wrong and gave me sound morales, they'd be shocked to see what has become now.
Ya true , now we get such masterpieces such as WAP and other intelligence destroying trash for the youth of today, ughh were gonna be so screwed in a few years
My parents wouldn't let me listen to popular music at home (other than country) and I remember hearing this song on the radio when I bought my first car in 2003. At the time I had just gotten a full ride to college and life was great so this song didn't mean much to me. I thought that I knew everything and that I would never have to pay for my mistakes. I would lose the scholarship during my freshman year of college and I would marry my first husband at 19. I thought that I was right when I stormed out of my parent's house to elope with my ex. I paid a big price for my mistakes back then. I got my life straight and I'm starting my Ph.D. in September. Nearly 20 years later this song still hits the feels in me.
I always say the kids that are sheltered in jrhigh and high school are the ones who lose it when they go away to college because they have a hard time handling all the new freedoms. I never had a cerfew after my sophomore year in high school my friends did so I was home by midnight 1 am. So when college came along it was normal
I'm 35 and still SCREAM this song while driving alone!!!! I miss the good days of my teens and early 20s. The future scares me. This song brings me so many emotions but in the most amazing way!!!
Yes and no. The cultural rot was unmistakeably present in the 90's and in 90's music, it just didn't have the upperhand yet. Something I notice about music is that the further in the past I look/listen, there seems to have been a stronger sense of responsibility, obligation or both to translate negative emotion into positive energy before sharing it with the world. Even songs about heartbreak, cheating, betrayal and death tend to have an ultimately positive spin to them, whether it's a feeling of hope, recovery or downright bouncy. Who's Bed by Shania Twain is one example of it. There's not a hint of resentment in a song about cheating and betrayal. I don't find that anymore. Even in the 00's I find a stark contrast to the 90's in something like Gives You Hell by All-American Rejects. It's upbeat but ultimately resentful and negative.
Born in 80.. anyone else want to just go back? Dm me if you are like minded. These kind of friends are few and far between. Long live the 80s and early 90's.
Do you miss knowing your friends so well you could feel their presence when they came in a room. I’m sure it was just their perfume or sound of their walk but we knew each other that well.
no Mindy Brown... if you need to cry... listen to this most excellent song!!!!!!!!!!!!! especially when your drunk .. like me!!!!!!!! ooooowwweeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 1971. She behaved badly. I said something terrible. Over the years, we tried many times to repair the relationship. But, we had both been hurt too profoundly. Over nothing. Just a double misunderstanding. Humpty Dumpty could not be put back together. 50+ years later the pain is still acute, active, alive. The memory of physical pain fades. Memories of emotional pain don't. Unbelievable how things which happen to us when we are young can affect all the rest of our lives. We were only children.
@@Ralph_Sandwich I came of age in the early 90's. The friends I made in those first five years of the 90's...best memories of my life. Just buried one of my best friends from that age last week. Hadn't seen her in years. We've all grown so....distant.
Was the favorite song of my first real girlfriend... she committed suicide a few years after we broke up. Still takes me back to those exciting months, windows down in her car cruising in southern Michigan . I give thanks for our time together - bittersweet as is life.
I know this is always on my feed & just keep clicking on it. Got so invested in my thoughts of lifeing I almost forgot I met them. This song kinda reminds me of Anne Frank. :/ if ppl really knew how I thought. Like I'm not trying to channel my inner Brian Vander ark. Bc I'm not him. Wever his name. I remember hearing he used to be in the military tho. For them to be out in my ms yrs, they kinda do seem like they'd be up there, age wise

Literally in tears, I want the good days back. I just want to feel like I'm living again, times we're so much more simple back then. This music is a reflection of a whole generation.
Live in the now. Be appreciative of the ability to reflect. Things may not be the way you expected them to be, but you’re here! Some didn’t make it bro. Put your trust in GOD, for your peace resides there.🙏🏿💪🏿❤️
Im 43, missing those days.. listening to good music with good friends.. good memories... Thank you Mom for bringing me to this world last 1980, i had the chance to encounter and listen to these timeless music. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY....
I am 45. Not a 90's child at all. due to a lifetime of abuse and several suicide attempts, this song meant a lot to me. It really filled my heart. Thank you.
I was depressed so depressed and this song depressing as it was made me feel different about life dealth it made me almost HAPPY and I felt that was Bad because the song is so sad 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔but I will always love this song
hii Charity Woods yes we're not the 90's child but we are the 90's youth who by then have some experience bout life and experiencing the great decade(90s) i think that was awesome...Godbless us the 90s youth
Charity- Give us an update!! How are you doing? I hope all is well and you found your place in this world...you are loved. You are needed and wanted!! I am glad you are alive!!
Charity Woods - We love you man, no matter what you've done, we all cause a little pain to others, and we all cause a little good and love in others. It's so easy to see the bad, that you do to others and that others do to you, but be strong. Life is hard, but good. :)
I'm 18 and I found this song on tiktok. Love the vibe to it. Wish I grew up back in the 90s so I wouldn't have to deal with all this negativity today. Social media, everything. Must've been nice to have an actual conversation with someone without them staring at their phone the whole time you're talking to them
And we all sang along because we weren't distracted by phones. Just the song and friends. It was pretty cool. We didn't know what we had until the net came tho. Now we know.
Everyone always will look back on their youth with fondness and nostalgia, but it wasn’t so rosy. Social media has created new problems for sure, but it’s existence has also simply made us all more *aware* of everything. The 90s was chock full of alienated kids who suffered in silence, cutting themselves, numbing with drugs and alcohol and ending their lives. We played outside as kids, not under constant supervision, but we also dealt with physically abusive bullies, parents, teachers and pedos. There were certainly fewer mass shootings then, that is fair. But violence was still a problem.
The song's about an abortion and the guy trying to justify what they've done. The girl ends up with the dude's best friend and she ultimately takes her life. Great song full of emotion.
1996- I was 15. Memories of: Taking the city bus to school, my CD Walkman (with extra Base),the movie Scream, playing Super Mario 64, and eating Pop Tarts. Good times!
I had a Sony disc-man with a strap, skipped like hell & the batteries lasted maybe 1 day lol!!! My roommate in college stole it from me good times...…. 1990
I'm pushing 40 and this song came back into my life. I've learned that life is a mad scramble and nothing like I thought it would be.. I miss those years
Which is why the Matrix was redesigned to this, the peak of your civilization. I say your civilization because as soon as we started thinking for you it really became our civilization... Agent Smith
Hearing this song again takes me back to when money didn’t matter, every day was spent with friends and the future looked so bright and 21 seemed so far away.. now at 37.. my teenage years feel farther than my debts and death
Grew up to my dad listening and singing this song all the time. He's been gone almost 3 yrs and it always makes me miss the good days of music listening with him.
Bless you. I just lost my father too although I'm fifty-eight yrs You don't look a day over 16 in the tiny pic. They're all discussing the meaning of this song. I think it's for the slow dance most of all. You tube is great for hearing what you like and Your dad is great for giving you some ideas about what to do with you tube. I mean here it is your dad is telling you next you have to go through this world and carefully pair up and go through the hard part he still wants you to make him a pappy. There goes my hero & take your time hurry up hurry up I mean you know all good things in moderation. John 3:16 and then some. I saw nobody replied to you yet. That made me want to reply. I shouldn't be to prophetic. Careful your admitting to some of your vulnerabilities in a way. Blessings I hope you get some replies and I hope good people can comfort you.
I lost my father a week before my 30th birthday... he will be gone for 8 years in August... it’s okay to reminisce and remember the good times and when the tears come, let them...
I am a 57 year old and landed in the hospital at 37 with a brain injury. God granted me a wonderful wife and two beautiful kids. I’m grateful for every day.
Beautiful song that makes me miss the 90's, back when there was actually popular music being made that had heart, soul, passion, integrity and originality.
hinjurock I believe the 80's and 90's had some the absolute best music of any decade. There is still great music out there, but it takes a lot more effort to find than it used to.
hinjurock God, would you shut up about that already? I was in high school in the '90s, and there was always crappy music, and there was always good music. There were enough songs by Nirvana alone about how mindless and dumb our generation supposedly was.
I remember SO well. I was also in high school. Heard this song on my favorite radio station hundreds of times, growing to love it more each time. The surrounding memories of that time are strong here... I am now 35. Thank you for your post, Jeff G.
I was a freshman in 1998. Getting together with your friends at lunch time in the cafeteria, laughing, joking and talking about your crushes. These memories are truly priceless.
Unfortunately they're living a lie. Females aren't capable of choosing a partner to live out their life with. Thus is why most females aren't capable of pairbonding and marriages don't last.
Im turning 46 next month. Don't look it don't feel it but damn I feel like I wasted this life..maybe on the next go round ill experience crushes .... rejections.. success..
more a matter of age- circumstance and one's disposition. But I so hear you . Loved the music of the first 4 years and the last 2 myself. For me it was (Money , Music, and Hotches ) not nec. in that order.
I'd take the 70s over the 90s ... You had the magic of the Pink Floyds and the Jethro Tullzes and the Led Zeppelinzes .... There was really no time like the 70s ... no internet, yet you had these MASSIVE crowds hungering for hard rock. News traveled by snail mail and much slower media, yet somehow when The Who went on tour EVERYBODY seemed to find out and stadiums would overflow with a hundred thousand people.... But yeah... The 90s were sweetly special... I'll never forget those Smashing Pumpkins or Oasis ... the 90s were beautiful for sure!
2023 and I am now 39 years old... I still listen to this song like it's the first time..... I will always love this and will share with my 2 daughters... ❤❤❤
Born in 80; had the best seats in the 90s. These records are like tiny time machines that can shake the cement off of you and bring you straight back just for a few moments. you can still feel the vibe in the air on some days when you listen to good music like this. You find the energy in the area around you forgot about and it nourishes you. Props to those times and the old days
This is the best thread of comments I have ever seen! It gives me the slightest glimmer of hope, that we will actually make it through this. One of the greatest songs of all time!
My dad told me the day I turned 21 years old. Enjoy those 20s because life goes by so fast. If only he was alive to tell him how much I really needed him and he was so right.
I was 20 in 1995. I would never trade the amazing music scene and pop culture of the eighties and nineties that I was so privileged to live through as a kid and teen through my twenties. It was just such an amazing time that I cherish dearly.
I was still a kid (13, I guess. I dont remember exactly when this came out). I listened to alternative b4 I ever got into heavier rock. I used to think Bush was hard rock. Ha, I was that young. Still trying to figure out what I even liked still. Fahnah send this to my brat tho... & I did meet these dudes later on. Only then I was in my early 20s. I guess a guy was drunk tho. It is a little weird knowing u grew up listening to something. & later on its like ur treated like an adult. Bc im not that type of listener. I remember Brian looking at the cd (villians?) then looking back at me looking like he was trying to do some mental math, guesstimating, puzzled but he didn't bother asking. Wever he was thinking. At least he was nice. Or more appropriate / :/ bc I at least had a crush on the bros. I just wasn't gonna say that out loud either bc it was a harmless kid crush back then. Even tho I used to be obsessed. Only, like what I said, I was a kid. My world only consisted of so much. Although I remember being in their chat room & finding someone I went to school w/ on there. Her last name was frank. She reminded me of Anne frank. Just bc of the name tho
I turned 60 years young on June 10th I thought where did my life go??? I do take time to smell the roses and other flowers but the older I get the faster time seems to slip by time to slow down and Enjoy more ❤😊
It's always hit me the same way. It's dumb and the lyrics suck. The poor girl who this really happened to has to hear this stupid song and think about this dumbass. He should have wrote her a real song to help them both in coming to terms
I was 10 years old when was came out in 97. Now I'm 34. I feel like music is the closest thing we have to actually "feel" our past again. I get goosebumps when I listen to this and it brings back those feelings of adolescence, imagination, excitement, enjoyment, friendships, school crushes, memories of the things that used to matter to us as youth... oh the good ol days.
I swear everyone needs what she gives him at 3:00. Just someone to shelter us and settle us down to know it's alright and eventually it'll be okay again
Born '84... Grateful for my youth today, don't remember much and made every mistake... but I had cassettes and a Walkman, then cds and discman!!! No cell phone computer internet...just my guitar and skateboard 🙏
for some reason there are just some songs that have a deep meaning for people that either take them back to a certain time or place, or make them think about someone....this is one of those songs.
Born 82 and the 90s were amazing. Sad at the same time because how down hill our country has gone . If only we could turn back time . Would go back in a heartbeat .
Rusty Shackleford Likely was originally posted by the recording label or something or with this being so old that it was first just posted by fans. Shows this was just posted on here just under 3 years ago.
Rusty Shackleford ya gotta remember, when we were young & this song came out, there was no TH-cam... I know it seems like forever ago, but TH-cam is not even 10 yrs old yet... this song & the memories it brings back will last long past the time TH-cam disappears too.
Rusty Shackleford "so relatable to any college student in the '90s"? You mean, a lot of us experienced the suicide of a classmate that we felt guilty about?
Hearing this song takes me back to highschool. It feels so close but yet so far away. R.I.P to all the friends we've lost over the years. I never could have imagined how the unfolding of these years would turn out. I wouldn't say it's a surprise but more of a slap. In the end love doesn't last forever, fairytales only exist in the realm of imagination, friends are momentary, & life doesn't owe us anything. It's just a ride and were watching the scenery.
Love the figurative language in this song. Maybe I'm wearing rose colored glasses, but I don't think today's artist are willing to let their words drift out into ambiguity anymore.
Erin McAllister "It's been awhile" by Staind "Hey" & "Where is my mind" by the pixies "Yellow" & "the scientist" by coldplay "Dont look back in anger" by oasis "Lightning crashes" by live "I couldve lied" "magpies on fire" "gong li" and "wet sand" by rhcp "Cigarette daydream" "shake me down" "baby blue" halo by cage the elephant "West coast" by coconut records That's a good starting list!
I started playing guitar never thinking I could play a legit instrument like that. I've ,made electronic music as "spikel" on Newgrounds for a decade now. I heard this song exactly a year ago and felt a desire to pick up the intrument and I've taught myself. Maybe I'm part of a generation who wants this to be popular again
The post grunge era of 95 to 97 had some haunting beautiful songs like this. I was a teen & I swear one day in my whole life in the summer of 97 I literally said to myself " this is the best time of my life & I'll never get it back " being a teen falling in love in the summer is just so innocent & brand new u just cant redo it or get it back. These songs are like a nostalgic knife in the heart. My first child being born was amazing but my life of my own was over in a sense it's been all about him & my family. I wish I knew why in 97 before hs ended we were all in such a rush to grow up. Youth only lasts such a short precious time I wish I knew I had the rest of my life to be an adult.
I just turned 18 years old 4 months ago and my dad raised me on rock and metal music and I will forever be grateful for that. I wish every day I could know what it felt to be a teen in the 90s. 🤟🤟🤟
You've got yourself a hell of an old man. Enjoy the time together, my father is going to be 77 years old and Parkinson's has robbed us of him through the last decade. I wish I could go back to this time and take more fishing trips and just listen to his stories again.
Get five of your friends to turn off their phones for 2 days Hangout person-to-person work on old cars or just try to create something out of nothing the feeling you will get it's like nothing else you'll ever imagine forget about political didn't exist forget about feelings nobody cared you just laughed it off I moved on with your day I would literally give anything to have those days back
Where are my older Millennials? 90s kid. Cell phones got popular my Jr year of HS. The last FREE generation. Love the memories and this song. Life is to short, enjoy friends!!!!
I was born in '81 and this song came out when I was a freshman in high school. Hard to believe how long ago that was now and how much simpler life was then - time flies, so make the most of every day and appreciate the people in your life!
In the 90's we couldnt wait to grow up... now we are older and in our 30's and 40's we just want those times back.
Right, so simple back then
Yep
When I was young I knew everything.
I had a sand box when this came out. Today I have a mortgage.
You literally copied the last comment lol
Makes me want to cry every time I think back to being a kid in the 90's. It was amazing. Now I'm 35 and life sucks.
Life today isn't great you are correct.
Head up my guy, 20 years from now you’ll miss these day. Life is like that. Appreciate today 🙏🏼💪🏼🙏🏼

Fucking truth mate
At 52, this brings back a flood of memories. Call your mom, tell you dad you appreciate him. Forgive your kids for their mistakes and always keep the door open to them. When the days are gone, you don’t get them back. Same with people. When they are gone… only the memories remain. I don’t want to go back now. Not too much further to go so I have a lot to look forward to! Can’t wait to discover the answers to every question.
Love yourself more. Do more. Be happy just because. It’s all worth it.
“Love yourself more”
Very well put. I’ll be 54 soon and the nostalgia moments that sneak up on me, seem to happen more often and hit more powerfully…

Not that he deserves to know

what are you talking about that wasn't 20 years ago..... oh
isthislife2 yup 31 I'm listening to this song in a cold winters night, and man it's painful.

Back in the pre social media hellscape "you had to be there" or "you missed it" was the most crushing statement you could hear going back to school on a Monday morning. Now kids DONT live in the moment because they are too busy either hash tagging, tweeting or posting what they are doing rather than having fun!

Everything Sucks now.
Sitting here at work, 40 years old. reminiscing about my teens and early 20's. I personally think coming of age in the 90's was an experience unlike any other decade, and Im so glad i had the chance to live in a time when you could just disconnect and truly relax. 80's babies RULE!!!!!
I felt like it was conservative 60s 70s with more clothes better hygiene lol
87' wouldn't have it any other way
@@mowglifromthejungle5614 86' here and I've always thought about the best time to be born. Ritrous brothers has me question my bias opinion, people back in your father, grandfather days had some serious game going on and way more style.
I was also born in 1986! This song is making me feel super nostalgic!
40 as well bro! These songs were everything and now these kids these days love it too!
Born in '77. I loved growing up in the 80's and 90's...god we had it good.
Me too.... 77 myself, and life was good back then.
77 here. Wisconsin
Thank God there weren't cell phones back then.
Times past. Miss it!!
1978 baby here! Miss these days
If you did not live in the 90's you just don't know......it was a time with JUST ENOUGH technology---but not to much . There was a vibe, and people were more social and compassionate. Every weekend---gathering at a friend's apartment and meeting new people around a bottle of wine and maybe smoking a little in a small college town. Seeing your future wife for the first time and talking about music and laughing with everyone. It makes me tear up----it was such a special time in history.....before people were obsessed with social media. Of course we had the internet, but NO ONE wanted to be stuck in front of a computer on Friday night. It is bittersweet to go back there in my mind----feels like if I stay to long I might cry.....
Perfection on the mental rendition of what the 90’s will forever be remembered as. Bravo sir
Absolutely! I gotta add the 80's as well!
I always thought that the 90's essentially ended on 9/11. The vibe afterwards just changed.
Lmao coming from guy born in 1999
I couldn't of said it better myself. There was just something about the 90's and when I think back on it, it was such a great time and I miss it a ton! You are right though. Just enough technology. People where more open and friendly and not so passive aggressive hiding behind there screens. When you go to an event or a concert now a days all you see is everyone's face in their phones. Back in the day everyone was looking at the stage. Not worried about documenting every little thing. It makes me sick that these people don't realize that life is passing them by because they are never in the moment. They are more worried about FOMO, Documenting and where everyone else is. Someone needs to make a time machine and then make it never go over 2000. :)
We don’t search for old songs…
we search for old memories.
I don’t listen to songs like this to mark the end of eras, but to be motivated to begin others. Culture is stagnant now, but that can change
❤
i like that.
Everyday, ❤️
Great i like it.
There was a decade, sandwiched between the end of the cold war and the start of the post 9/11 world. A decade of great music, hope for the future, and genuine human connections. We saw the birth of some amazing new technology, but it didn't control us yet. It wasn't perfect, but it was damn near close. Ladies and gentlemen that decade was the 90's.
So true 💜
Poetic justice can't even begin to describe this comment
Chris day I was born in 1983. The 90's were going on during the most important parts of my life and I'm so glad I had the opportunity to live in that decade. Unless you lived through them, you really cannot begin to imagine.
I was born in 1993 so growing up in the 90s and 2000s was amazing
Born 1988.... 90s were my formative years...
“For the life of me, I can not remember what made us think we were wise…..” this song is even more meaningful and telling now that I am in my 40s. TIMELESS
10000% I feel this so much it hurts.
Just wait till you're in your 60s.
I was a dumbass. Definitely paying for my sins
It's wonderful
This song came out when I was just a freshman at life. Damn, it goes by fast. Live it up young one’s. It will fly by. You’ll look back at 40 and wonder where 20 years went. I still feel like a kid, but I’m not. Peace & love to you all. 💛
You're sooo right!
This song was my graduating class song. 2003 almost 20 years oh how they go by like a blink of the eye.
It's cute how you think kids will see this advice:)
The truth is.. you never stop feeling like a kid. You just find a job you can hide it at and a partner you can be a kid with.
Damn
To grow up in the 90s was a fucking honor to look back on and think that was "our" time/music. Timeless song.
Hale Satin
Was a great time to live. Nowadays suscks.
I grew up in the seventies but the verve pipe rocks
Hell yea it was this song just like so many more they just don’t make music like it anymore
00’s started the tone of rock to party rock. I was born in 92. Sucks knowing I’m a true millennial when I feel I would’ve enjoyed my formative years more if I was born maybe in 86-88. I always gravitate to people older than me. I always enjoyed sharing thoughts deeper than “did you see that meme?”. When I graduated high school in 2011 I had 3 friends from school the rest of my friends were in their late 20’s and early 30’s. We enjoyed listening to music, working out, camping, fighting (boxing and mma). And everything happened for a reason. Now the only reason anything seems to happen is for likes and shares.
To all those reading this. I hope you are doing great. Everything that has ever happened in your life has led you to this moment. You made it.
That's a nice thing to say thank u
Thanks much. I really needed that saying tonight ... had a rough days.
🙏🏻
So true. I remember listening to this back then thinking life was over. What you said couldn’t be more true
Well said.
Best friend wrote these lyrics in our freshman yearbook, sadly she passed away the next year from a cardiac episode during crew practice. I'll never forget that day. Over 20 years later. RIP Danica Canfield.

Who feels the 90s and the first years of 2000s like the best years ever in this earth, the vibes of those years won’t never reappear..😪
Hell ya. Middle 80's too.
80's were the shit 90's were the shit Early 2000-04' then all the fun gone.
Every generation says that
Damon Wille too true. Nostalgia’s a hell of a drug
Some of the eighties, all of the nineties, and just a little of the early 2000's was such an epic time in music (and in general). It's not such a great world musically anymore. :(
I was a kid in the 70s, teen in the 80s, college in the 90s. I thought it was only going to get better after the 90s. Boy, was I wrong. 90s was the last great decade.
you dont like dee jays? boybands?
Thanks Obama 😞
Seriously, it peaked around 98-2000. 21 years later things get worse every year as a whole for society.
Greed and commercialism destroyed this country, and Republicans let corporations and the top 10% ruin everything, creating worse planet of pollution and income inequality, gerrymandering picking their voters, instead of voters picking their politicians. Lie, cheat steal elections, Now they're destroying the US in the next few years and will create an autocracy if they aren't stopped. Need the voting Rights bill now.
I was raised by my grandparents the greatest generation that lived through the depression and fought through WW2, went to Catholic school & boy scouts, they taught me what was right and wrong and gave me sound morales, they'd be shocked to see what has become now.
@@mwara2444 True comment. I agree and wish my grandparents raised me too.
This song makes me wish it was the 90’s again. Man, life was so simple.

Ya true , now we get such masterpieces such as WAP and other intelligence destroying trash for the youth of today, ughh were gonna be so screwed in a few years
Or maybe generic popsongs with interchanging sexy faces are much more profitable so these songs just don't get playtime on the radio...
No they don't sadly
I agree 100% love the 80s and 90s music. Miss those days a lot.

Since my wife passed, I continue to come back to this song over and over again.

Sorry for your loss man
Sorry for your loss dude
Damn bro... sorry for your loss
My parents wouldn't let me listen to popular music at home (other than country) and I remember hearing this song on the radio when I bought my first car in 2003. At the time I had just gotten a full ride to college and life was great so this song didn't mean much to me. I thought that I knew everything and that I would never have to pay for my mistakes.
I would lose the scholarship during my freshman year of college and I would marry my first husband at 19. I thought that I was right when I stormed out of my parent's house to elope with my ex. I paid a big price for my mistakes back then. I got my life straight and I'm starting my Ph.D. in September. Nearly 20 years later this song still hits the feels in me.
the guilt a suicide leaves behind deserved or not is life shattering for many powerful song
Resilient. Strength. Pride. Congratulations. 🙌🏻💚💪🏻
I always say the kids that are sheltered in jrhigh and high school are the ones who lose it when they go away to college because they have a hard time handling all the new freedoms. I never had a cerfew after my sophomore year in high school my friends did so I was home by midnight 1 am. So when college came along it was normal
@Dera Kioandria Williams good luck always remember the journey is never a race but a merathon.
Good luck, Megan!!
I'm 35 and still SCREAM this song while driving alone!!!! I miss the good days of my teens and early 20s. The future scares me. This song brings me so many emotions but in the most amazing way!!!
Likewise ❤
I know exactly how you feel
same, but i'm, over 50
35? So when this came out you were 9-13??
GOD GOT YOR LIFE PLAN AN FUTURE REST THAT HE CANT FAIL US 🙏🙌💯
The 1990's was the absolute pinnacle of hope, culture, and actual human connection across all platforms. It was perfect.
You still go to the Castle in Ybor?
He brought us the Blitz attack.
Yes and no. The cultural rot was unmistakeably present in the 90's and in 90's music, it just didn't have the upperhand yet. Something I notice about music is that the further in the past I look/listen, there seems to have been a stronger sense of responsibility, obligation or both to translate negative emotion into positive energy before sharing it with the world. Even songs about heartbreak, cheating, betrayal and death tend to have an ultimately positive spin to them, whether it's a feeling of hope, recovery or downright bouncy. Who's Bed by Shania Twain is one example of it. There's not a hint of resentment in a song about cheating and betrayal. I don't find that anymore. Even in the 00's I find a stark contrast to the 90's in something like Gives You Hell by All-American Rejects. It's upbeat but ultimately resentful and negative.
"Pinacleof hope." No lies. It's surreal to think of it now.
One of the greatest songs of the 90s. Timeless and perfect.
Who else is having flashbacks while listening? ❤️
same feels bruh
I feel it .....
Too many of them.
Raises hang
so many, man
Christ, I'm literally crying right now. It's been so long since I've listened to this song.
If I had a shoulder for you.
Next up, Runaway Train.

Mannn, we all have that time with a song
Me too.
Born in 80.. anyone else want to just go back? Dm me if you are like minded. These kind of friends are few and far between. Long live the 80s and early 90's.
Do you miss knowing your friends so well you could feel their presence when they came in a room. I’m sure it was just their perfume or sound of their walk but we knew each other that well.
Yes ❤❤❤❤the good ole days
I was born in '77 and I would give everything I have right now to go back to the 90's
God I wish
I miss the 90s
Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow is unknown. Today is a gift. Life is short, play hard.
I thought Tuesday was gone. That song makes more sense when you realize Tuesday is a girls name.

Love harder !
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift, that's why it's called the present. "Kung Fu Panda"-not me.

no Mindy Brown... if you need to cry... listen to this most excellent song!!!!!!!!!!!!! especially when your drunk .. like me!!!!!!!! ooooowwweeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Listening in 2022 as a 46 year old...still hits. Just something about this song.
46 here... This song hits different now than it did then ...it was just a song then. Now it's a time, a place, an entire era of our lives....
This song breaths life back into my teenage memories and just for a moment, I’m right there again.
Turning 46 in May...where did time go...wasted life
I’m listening to The Verve Pipe The Freshmen late May 2023
48 in August...
September 1971. She behaved badly. I said something terrible. Over the years, we tried many times to repair the relationship. But, we had both been hurt too profoundly. Over nothing. Just a double misunderstanding. Humpty Dumpty could not be put back together. 50+ years later the pain is still acute, active, alive. The memory of physical pain fades. Memories of emotional pain don't. Unbelievable how things which happen to us when we are young can affect all the rest of our lives. We were only children.
It’s sad reading these comments.. makes you realize how sad we all really are and how bad we want to go back in time. 😞
Not just the 90's crew, probably every generation before us.
We are so disconnected now it's killing those of us that remember how close we were in the 90s
@@Ralph_Sandwich I came of age in the early 90's. The friends I made in those first five years of the 90's...best memories of my life. Just buried one of my best friends from that age last week. Hadn't seen her in years. We've all grown so....distant.
@@TheGameCraftDragon this is by design.
The past is remembered as happier than it really was
Was the favorite song of my first real girlfriend... she committed suicide a few years after we broke up. Still takes me back to those exciting months, windows down in her car cruising in southern Michigan . I give thanks for our time together - bittersweet as is life.

It's amazing how a song can just take you back to a certain time and place.
Having his Kid brother in this is special
I know this is always on my feed & just keep clicking on it. Got so invested in my thoughts of lifeing I almost forgot I met them. This song kinda reminds me of Anne Frank. :/ if ppl really knew how I thought. Like I'm not trying to channel my inner Brian Vander ark. Bc I'm not him. Wever his name. I remember hearing he used to be in the military tho. For them to be out in my ms yrs, they kinda do seem like they'd be up there, age wise
Ain't it funny how a melody can bring back a memory?
I would give anything to do it over againg
It's crazy almost every song I remember hearing it for the first time. It's like a smell that brings you back
Wonder why they stopped making music like this...it’s so deep and meaningful :’(

I'm 18 and I found this song on tiktok. Love the vibe to it. Wish I grew up back in the 90s so I wouldn't have to deal with all this negativity today. Social media, everything. Must've been nice to have an actual conversation with someone without them staring at their phone the whole time you're talking to them
It was nice feeling connected to people, technology ruined that connection. The 90s where a whole different time.
@@thatoneguy7684 it was a totally different world .....
Do yourself a favor,BOYCOTT TIKTOK, run by Communist Chinese Government
And we all sang along because we weren't distracted by phones. Just the song and friends. It was pretty cool. We didn't know what we had until the net came tho. Now we know.
Everyone always will look back on their youth with fondness and nostalgia, but it wasn’t so rosy. Social media has created new problems for sure, but it’s existence has also simply made us all more *aware* of everything. The 90s was chock full of alienated kids who suffered in silence, cutting themselves, numbing with drugs and alcohol and ending their lives. We played outside as kids, not under constant supervision, but we also dealt with physically abusive bullies, parents, teachers and pedos. There were certainly fewer mass shootings then, that is fair. But violence was still a problem.
Something about this song....maybe the sense of lost innocence. Who can’t identify with that.
Miss Kitty ..... Miss brown

The song's about an abortion and the guy trying to justify what they've done. The girl ends up with the dude's best friend and she ultimately takes her life. Great song full of emotion.

hinjurock You got that right. Most of today's so called music sucks. There's not much talent out there.
hinjurock I believe the 80's and 90's had some the absolute best music of any decade. There is still great music out there, but it takes a lot more effort to find than it used to.
hinjurock God, would you shut up about that already? I was in high school in the '90s, and there was always crappy music, and there was always good music. There were enough songs by Nirvana alone about how mindless and dumb our generation supposedly was.

Born in 76 and enjoyed this band at Michigan State during my college years. Irreplaceable memories in my heart for eternity! ❤❤❤
I was a freshman in 1998. Getting together with your friends at lunch time in the cafeteria, laughing, joking and talking about your crushes. These memories are truly priceless.
This is what I keep telling my kids who are teens, that their memories in high school will be memories they cherish for the rest of their lives.
Unfortunately they're living a lie. Females aren't capable of choosing a partner to live out their life with. Thus is why most females aren't capable of pairbonding and marriages don't last.

more a matter of age- circumstance and one's disposition. But I so hear you . Loved the music of the first 4 years and the last 2 myself. For me it was (Money , Music, and Hotches ) not nec. in that order.
I'd take the 70s over the 90s ... You had the magic of the Pink Floyds and the Jethro Tullzes and the Led Zeppelinzes .... There was really no time like the 70s ... no internet, yet you had these MASSIVE crowds hungering for hard rock. News traveled by snail mail and much slower media, yet somehow when The Who went on tour EVERYBODY seemed to find out and stadiums would overflow with a hundred thousand people.... But yeah... The 90s were sweetly special... I'll never forget those Smashing Pumpkins or Oasis ... the 90s were beautiful for sure!
I wish I could go back to 90's wages....
And none of the fear of AIDS.

you say mouthful!
Remember listening to this song during the cold mornings in high school waiting for my truck to warm up. Class of 1997
Whereas I was a Freshman in '97 😂 Class of 2000! Man, I miss those days sometimes. Mainly the music hahaha
Graduate of "97, Rock On!
97 myself
AK DEADLINE same!
class of 97 here too!
2023 and I am now 39 years old... I still listen to this song like it's the first time..... I will always love this and will share with my 2 daughters... ❤❤❤
I can't get over how much this song makes me feel...
E=MC Vagina
Damn, who hurt you?
I can't get over how bad the image quality of this video is.
Yeah, a lot of 90s/2000s videos desperately need remastering.
Jacen Barker 100% agree
Born in 80; had the best seats in the 90s. These records are like tiny time machines that can shake the cement off of you and bring you straight back just for a few moments. you can still feel the vibe in the air on some days when you listen to good music like this. You find the energy in the area around you forgot about and it nourishes you.
Props to those times and the old days
Same. Makes me want to lie on the floor and soak it in for just a few minutes again.
Well said.
@@stevenbruce5702 thanks ♡
1980 here too. And you are 💯% right!!!!!
Interesting. I was born in 90, and was always given the impression that the 80s were the peak decade. Are you saying the 90s were better?
This is the best thread of comments I have ever seen! It gives me the slightest glimmer of hope, that we will actually make it through this. One of the greatest songs of all time!
There are good people out there still who aren’t caught up in the bs.
@@thechelseapeck I agree with you Chels, but, I think their numbers are going down, getting fewer, unfortunately
Think positive... god is on our side .. don’t listen to fake woke
@@earbo6220 Eric’s comment is right
Nineties I love going back... memories
Remember when you were a freshman and knew exactly how the rest of your life was about to pan out? Yeah didn’t happen that way did it?
My dad told me the day I turned 21 years old. Enjoy those 20s because life goes by so fast. If only he was alive to tell him how much I really needed him and he was so right.
I was 20 in 1995. I would never trade the amazing music scene and pop culture of the eighties and nineties that I was so privileged to live through as a kid and teen through my twenties. It was just such an amazing time that I cherish dearly.
I was 11
I was still a kid (13, I guess. I dont remember exactly when this came out). I listened to alternative b4 I ever got into heavier rock. I used to think Bush was hard rock. Ha, I was that young. Still trying to figure out what I even liked still. Fahnah send this to my brat tho... & I did meet these dudes later on. Only then I was in my early 20s. I guess a guy was drunk tho. It is a little weird knowing u grew up listening to something. & later on its like ur treated like an adult. Bc im not that type of listener. I remember Brian looking at the cd (villians?) then looking back at me looking like he was trying to do some mental math, guesstimating, puzzled but he didn't bother asking. Wever he was thinking. At least he was nice. Or more appropriate / :/ bc I at least had a crush on the bros. I just wasn't gonna say that out loud either bc it was a harmless kid crush back then. Even tho I used to be obsessed. Only, like what I said, I was a kid. My world only consisted of so much. Although I remember being in their chat room & finding someone I went to school w/ on there. Her last name was frank. She reminded me of Anne frank. Just bc of the name tho
I was 21 in 1995. Where did the time go?
I was 30 in 1995! Time goes by too fast!
I was 14
90's were the best of times!! Great era!!
My wife and I have now been together longer than we were alive without each other...
Lenny congratulations!!!
Lucky man I can only hope
Wish you many more. We almost reached that point - for me atleast. Death is a cruel mistress.
Yup same with me and my husband! Are you military? If so my husband and both sons are too. Good less!
Congratulations
Man, on a 90's early 00's binge and i miss these days!! My mom was right, time flies by, enjoy it while it lasts.
Amen bro!
🤓 the moment is all you truly have
🦨💨
I turned 60 years young on June 10th I thought where did my life go??? I do take time to smell the roses and other flowers but the older I get the faster time seems to slip by time to slow down and Enjoy more ❤😊
I'm 193 and still listening to this, remember when I first heard it as a teenager in the 90s. Good music never dies.
one of my favorite songs from '97. back when vh1 played music
Katherina Thompson so true now it's crap
So right.. No one plays music videos anymore! Its all about drama and nothing about meaning
Pop up video too! 😁
Katherina Thompson Don't forget MTV too
When MTV actually played music!
Yeah, my fave song too. & I always preferred VH1 to MTV.
Takes me back to middle school and high school. Remember sitting in my room trying to tape jams like this off the radio on a blank tape.
Hell yeahs. You had to put in real time to make a mixtape.
Same 🥲
Hell yeah, back when you had to earn a mixtape, and it took a few days to get the starts right.
Try telling a kid today that tapes had two sides and needed to be rewinded...
Same diff songs. That was what we did tho. Born in 80. Peace to the gen. 80's.. EVERYTHING DIFFERENT. YOU DONT HAVE A "GOOD 1" u fucked
"what made us think that we were wise and that we'd never compromise?"
I don’t know if it’s because I’m much older now then I was in the 90’s but this song hits me differently now .
It really does. It seemed rebellious at the time, sad and more coming of age now
Totally
It's always hit me the same way. It's dumb and the lyrics suck. The poor girl who this really happened to has to hear this stupid song and think about this dumbass. He should have wrote her a real song to help them both in coming to terms
U &Me 2 !!👍
@@joshuanipps9106 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was 10 years old when was came out in 97. Now I'm 34. I feel like music is the closest thing we have to actually "feel" our past again. I get goosebumps when I listen to this and it brings back those feelings of adolescence, imagination, excitement, enjoyment, friendships, school crushes, memories of the things that used to matter to us as youth... oh the good ol days.
God I totally know what u mean!
Yes ❤️❤️❤️😭
Aww, i was 11 years old! I agree with you 🍀🌻
I swear everyone needs what she gives him at 3:00. Just someone to shelter us and settle us down to know it's alright and eventually it'll be okay again
Born '84... Grateful for my youth today, don't remember much and made every mistake... but I had cassettes and a Walkman, then cds and discman!!! No cell phone computer internet...just my guitar and skateboard 🙏
for some reason there are just some songs that have a deep meaning for people that either take them back to a certain time or place, or make them think about someone....this is one of those songs.
were u only a freshman?
fucking A!
you said it! i wasn't in high school at the time, but when i hear this song it takes me back to an event for sure :p
Being in my mid 40s now. This song hits
different.. I miss the 80s and 90s and the friends I had then.
Music is a constant, and you are beautiful.
Thank you
I'm 44 and feel the same
Born 82 and the 90s were amazing. Sad at the same time because how down hill our country has gone . If only we could turn back time . Would go back in a heartbeat .
Same... the only decade I could live in forever.
How does this not have more views? This was such a 90's classic and so relateable to any college student in the 90's.
Rusty Shackleford Likely was originally posted by the recording label or something or with this being so old that it was first just posted by fans. Shows this was just posted on here just under 3 years ago.
Rusty Shackleford ya gotta remember, when we were young & this song came out, there was no TH-cam... I know it seems like forever ago, but TH-cam is not even 10 yrs old yet... this song & the memories it brings back will last long past the time TH-cam disappears too.
Rusty Shackleford "so relatable to any college student in the '90s"? You mean, a lot of us experienced the suicide of a classmate that we felt guilty about?
Nice try Dale Gribble, I know it's you!
Rainy Jane
i did. it wasn't awesome :(
Hearing this song takes me back to highschool. It feels so close but yet so far away.
R.I.P to all the friends we've lost over the years. I never could have imagined how the unfolding
of these years would turn out. I wouldn't say it's a surprise but more of a slap.
In the end love doesn't last forever, fairytales only exist in the realm of imagination, friends are momentary, &
life doesn't owe us anything. It's just a ride and were watching the scenery.
Facts
An absolute honor to have come of age in the 90s. These songs bring me back.
Love the figurative language in this song. Maybe I'm wearing rose colored glasses, but I don't think today's artist are willing to let their words drift out into ambiguity anymore.
Ethan McBee 30 seconds to mars does a good job with ambiguity.
This song that got me hooked on Alternative Slow Rock. Beautiful piece.
Tony Hooi this song got me hooked on heroin
Me too. Do you have any suggestions for other songs like this?
Erin McAllister
"It's been awhile" by Staind
"Hey" & "Where is my mind" by the pixies
"Yellow" & "the scientist" by coldplay
"Dont look back in anger" by oasis
"Lightning crashes" by live
"I couldve lied" "magpies on fire" "gong li" and "wet sand" by rhcp
"Cigarette daydream" "shake me down" "baby blue" halo by cage the elephant
"West coast" by coconut records
That's a good starting list!
Tony Hooi I agree.

As a kid growing up in the 90s time stood still now time flies 36 now
Ah.... The 90's. Such an awesome decade
I started playing guitar never thinking I could play a legit instrument like that. I've ,made electronic music as "spikel" on Newgrounds for a decade now. I heard this song exactly a year ago and felt a desire to pick up the intrument and I've taught myself. Maybe I'm part of a generation who wants this to be popular again
I saw a 100 bands that time period....miss that!
The post grunge era of 95 to 97 had some haunting beautiful songs like this. I was a teen & I swear one day in my whole life in the summer of 97 I literally said to myself " this is the best time of my life & I'll never get it back " being a teen falling in love in the summer is just so innocent & brand new u just cant redo it or get it back. These songs are like a nostalgic knife in the heart. My first child being born was amazing but my life of my own was over in a sense it's been all about him & my family. I wish I knew why in 97 before hs ended we were all in such a rush to grow up. Youth only lasts such a short precious time I wish I knew I had the rest of my life to be an adult.
Yes!!!!❤❤❤
Hit that right on the head!
I just turned 18 years old 4 months ago and my dad raised me on rock and metal music and I will forever be grateful for that. I wish every day I could know what it felt to be a teen in the 90s. 🤟🤟🤟
Me and my dad are to see slipknot in june
You've got yourself a hell of an old man. Enjoy the time together, my father is going to be 77 years old and Parkinson's has robbed us of him through the last decade. I wish I could go back to this time and take more fishing trips and just listen to his stories again.
@@Mr-yn1pn to the memories of those who made us better wherever they may be 🥂
It was a good time. I was a teen in the late 90’s.
Get five of your friends to turn off their phones for 2 days Hangout person-to-person work on old cars or just try to create something out of nothing the feeling you will get it's like nothing else you'll ever imagine forget about political didn't exist forget about feelings nobody cared you just laughed it off I moved on with your day I would literally give anything to have those days back
Where are my older Millennials? 90s kid. Cell phones got popular my Jr year of HS. The last FREE generation. Love the memories and this song. Life is to short, enjoy friends!!!!
Was born in 81....teenage years during the 90s. It was the best decade by a long shot. 2000 came and it all went to sh*t.
I was born in '81 and this song came out when I was a freshman in high school. Hard to believe how long ago that was now and how much simpler life was then - time flies, so make the most of every day and appreciate the people in your life!
Same
This song is a time machine.
