As a kid who grew up mostly in the 90's (born in 83) there will never be a time in my life when Darius' voice won't feel like a warm hug. Thank you for everything Darius and everyone you have played with. You've meant more to my life than I think you can possibly realize.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. If I ever have the opportunity to meet Darius I’d love to buy him a beer and shoot the breeze for 1/2 an hour or so. No photo needed just the privilege of his company. What a legend .
@@pctrader841your a whiny joke if you ain't got nothing nice to say you know the rest keep that hate to yourself man no sense in it there's enough hate in this world I hope whatever is troubling you subsides man don't b inf others down cuz of your bitterness God Bless you sir
Anyone who grew up in the 90s and did not like Hootie and the blowfish needs to hear this version of this song. Darius was and still is one of the greatest singer/song writers of our generation. Amazing
Their nickname in the 90s, was "Hooter and the Blowjob". I never cared for his style; now I can't stand that whiny fool and his music after the way that he disrespected the very state that helped him succeed in his career. Then, recently, he was arrested on a drunk driving charge here in Tennessee. That asshole could have killed someone that night! He's nothing but a selfish clown and a joke.
@@dougmorgan6819haha, I’m old too! I was a teen in the 90s and their music always transports me back to that time in my life. Such nostalgia. Love Darius and his voice!
I agree completely. There are great singers who hit every note right but you don’t feel it. Darius has a gorgeous voice and knows how to sing so that the listener feels the song.
Without doubt one of the most underrated and overlooked singers around. Man’s voice is phenomenal. Never tire of listening to him either with backing or solo. A tour of the UK is massively overdue 🙏🏻
Darius has a voice like no other. I hope people realize that he sings from his heart! Loved him with Hootie, still loving him in country music. He could sing anything and sound great! ❤❤❤
D, I love every version of this song wether it be early years with the band, or when you are singing it with your country band but THIS version hits different. Loved you since the Carolina days and will continue. My goodnes how grateful we are to hear you sing.
He is one of the greatest singers in my lifetime. I remember when I first heard his voice I was a target and I was going to buy a cassette and I heard him sing and I bought Hootie and the blowfish first album and I was a huge fan of his ever since then. This song is one of my favorite songs and I love it still today. I remember going home and I heard it and I just cried because it was so beautiful
Oh my goodness!!! This is so amazingly good. I saw Hootie and the Blowfish back in the 80’s when I was in High School and my older Brother was going to MS State. He had me come down and treated me to their concert. Great memories!!
Amazing performance of one of my favorite Hootie and the Blowfish songs. You can practically feel the emotion in Darius as he plays. Such an awesome singer.
My favorite part is around 2:23 where the camera pans away and you can see Darius smile...it says "yep I've nailed it and I remember this feeling!" Brought it all back to they Hootie days. Excellent cal back!
Cracked rear view remains one of my favorite (if not my favorite) albums to this day. Every time I listen to that album or any one of those songs I am immediately transported back to those days, lots of fond memories. Would love to shake Darius hand and thank him one day.
The very first time I heard Hootie back in the 80s I told my friends "They gotta do country. They're a country band and don't even know it." I was so happy when Darius did.
Love love love this man his music his voice . Gets me every time 🥲🥰 legend ! though most people still say who when i mention Darius or Hootie here in Scotland! X
This man is a lyrical treasure and his voice has a story all its own. I feel like every time he sings he is telling me a story. He could speak these words and they would feel just as powerful.
Saw Hootie when they opened up for Toad the Wet Sprocket in 1995. They were just starting to become popular. Toad was my fav band so I was front & center & got backstage passes & met all the blowfish, along with the Toad guys. Sadly, Darius wasn’t there. But he was right in front of me when he sang this song, which was my fav at the time. Still have it on my phone today.
Regardless of it's solo, with Hootie, or with a group of friends around a campfire. True American artist. Appreciate his talent.
True.. I never liked their music. But he's always had such a good voice.
That was UHHMAZZZZING!!!
As a kid who grew up mostly in the 90's (born in 83) there will never be a time in my life when Darius' voice won't feel like a warm hug. Thank you for everything Darius and everyone you have played with. You've meant more to my life than I think you can possibly realize.
Hon. I love his music, and I was born 1965...especially wagon wheel...❤
I was born in 84.. I had the tapes ( counting crows ) .. you put it perfectly
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. If I ever have the opportunity to meet Darius I’d love to buy him a beer and shoot the breeze for 1/2 an hour or so. No photo needed just the privilege of his company. What a legend .
True living legend
Aw! Love this comment! ✋✋
More like a whiny joke...
Love DR! ❤

@@pctrader841 you truly need help man just a straight up hater and troll
I absolutely agree with you. Everytime I hear this song, it brings tears to my eyes.
Anyone who doesn't like Hootie never listened to them. They were amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️
i was thinking you cant beat the original.
Best country song that wasn’t a country song….. Love it!
actually it is....he said he wrote it as a country song...mark wanted to rock it out and that version is on the record....compromise
Truly a one of a kind voice. This song never gets old.
Song is 30 years old and still hits like the first time I heard it... Darius has always had a place in my music rotation..
I’m sorry sir, you must be mistaken. There’s no way this song is thirty yea… checks notes… oh man… that means I’m old.
@@dougmorgan6819 here, take my cane sir.. I got you..
@@dougmorgan6819I guess that means I'm old too. Never thought it was 30 years old. He's still got it.
@@dougmorgan6819 Not old, Sir. Just well life'ed seasoned...
@@dougmorgan6819haha, I’m old too! I was a teen in the 90s and their music always transports me back to that time in my life. Such nostalgia. Love Darius and his voice!
Crying at 10 am on my couch was not on my bingo card today. I always think of my dad when I hear this song. He always loved it.
❤

As a father of a 3 year old little girl, this comment made me tear up a little.
@@nickcurole8024 I’m sorry! Your daughter is lucky to have you ♥️
🤗♥️
Darius does not get enough credit. He's very talented. I love all his music. I love the sound of his voice.
Your tight!
Hes more than a songs he recreated ❤the stories in our mibds🎉🎉
Remember when my parents bought Cracked Rear View out of the Columbia House catalogue back in the day. Timeless voice on Darius
His voice is great because he feels the words he’s singing and the emotion is raw and true.
I agree completely. There are great singers who hit every note right but you don’t feel it. Darius has a gorgeous voice and knows how to sing so that the listener feels the song.
This man has more talent in his little finger than most artist these days!❣️
How does this not have millions of views already. This was amazing!
Fantastic!!!! I agree with ya !
This is a story every man and woman could understand. It's music like this that brings people together.
Without doubt one of the most underrated and overlooked singers around. Man’s voice is phenomenal. Never tire of listening to him either with backing or solo. A tour of the UK is massively overdue 🙏🏻
This song is his testimony to something in his life❤
It's about him.
No shit
I have loved Darius's sound since I was a teenager in SoCal. He is still amazing as my middle age ass sits in Florida. Amazing artist!!!
Wish my middle aged Ass was sitting in Florida! ❤😂 thought about it many times ?! Guess I'm not the only one ? What part?
@@kimmyray1234 Pensacola

Haven't seen them in years
@@kimmyray1234 you should go visit them. Lakeland is beautiful.
This man showed have been nominated many times over.He is so much better than most who have taken home awards and much more deserving.❤
This man’s music has lived in my life for decades. Extremely talented artist.
This song and “It Won’t Be Like This For Long” always pulls on my heartstrings.
Beautiful song
To think I heard this decades ago and it still hits just the same in 2024...
Absolutely love your voice ❤️ beautiful

This album, Cracked Rear View, is ALWAYS in my car. I have a tradition of listening to it every Friday after work. Love this song.

Even after all these years, this is still a hell of a song, man. Just a hell of a song.
Darius has a voice like no other. I hope people realize that he sings from his heart! Loved him with Hootie, still loving him in country music. He could sing anything and sound great! ❤❤❤

He has such an incredible, iconic voice. He really pulls you into the story behind the song.
One of my favorites 👍
Pure talent
What an incredible version of this song. Darius’s voice brings me right back to high school days…
As soon as you hear that voice you know it's Darius. True American treasure and just wholesome and down to earth as you can be.
His voice is amazing 😊
Darius Rucker. Damn. Tears are coming hearing his soul singing right there
Love Darius! What a great true AMERICAN and amazing artist!
This man is one of the most amazing voices
His voice is so gentle and touching ❤😊
WOW! Great song, beautiful version.

Oh my goodness!!! This is so amazingly good. I saw Hootie and the Blowfish back in the 80’s when I was in High School and my older Brother was going to MS State. He had me come down and treated me to their concert. Great memories!!
Saw him almost 30 years ago in a small venue in Austin. His music keeps getting better and better. Easily one of my favorite artists of all time.
Amazing performance of one of my favorite Hootie and the Blowfish songs. You can practically feel the emotion in Darius as he plays. Such an awesome singer.
One of the greatest artist/writers of my lifetime. The man knows how to write what happens in everyday life and then put his soul into vocalizing it.
Love this song as much as I did when I was a kid. I only understood the melody then, now I understand the lyrics and appreciate the whole thing.
My favorite part is around 2:23 where the camera pans away and you can see Darius smile...it says "yep I've nailed it and I remember this feeling!" Brought it all back to they Hootie days. Excellent cal back!
Just like any music brings you back a time in your life.
Love the song darius rucker love u darius rucker
His music touches every year of my 47 years.
Just brought me back to the 90s
Darius,s voice....wow.hes some singer.

Cracked rear view remains one of my favorite (if not my favorite) albums to this day. Every time I listen to that album or any one of those songs I am immediately transported back to those days, lots of fond memories. Would love to shake Darius hand and thank him one day.

The very first time I heard Hootie back in the 80s I told my friends "They gotta do country. They're a country band and don't even know it." I was so happy when Darius did.
My favorite Hootie song. Cool to hear this rendition of it.
I have not watched it yet, but I thank you, Darius. She is missed yet. Thank you.

hi paulin, how are you doing today
FANTASTIC no other words…
Amazing beautiful voice! Love you Darius ❤
Darius, you listen carefully. There is no other voice like yours. Don’t ever stop singing! One of the greats you are! Thank you!
Loved this song so many years ago. That first album was the sound track of my life in 1994.
You're the man my friend you are the man
There is nothing more in my life than I want to just sit around a campfire with a guitar and jam tunes with a nice buzz.
God damn ive always really appreciated his voice. so much depth and warmth
How many times always great❤❤❤❤
Love you
My ideal night with Darius is to hear him laugh.
Just to see his smile and his eye's light up.
Comfort food for the soul. Every time I hear your voice I stop what I am doing and listen to the song to the end.....and wish for more.
Imagine being born with that voice lol .... that is just sweet harmony plus !
Most people probably never even realize they have it.
Defiantly one of a kind singer.thanks for all your music.
Cracked Rear View!!
👍👍👍
Incredible singer. So happy I got to see him way back in 2015
This man is a lyrical treasure and his voice has a story all its own. I feel like every time he sings he is telling me a story. He could speak these words and they would feel just as powerful.
LOVE his voice! I miss Hootie!
🐐
Beautiful.
Darius Rucker and Hootie and the Blowfish Man this music just resonates with my soul ❤❤❤❤❤
Great song. His voice is one of the best in the business.
The violin sounded amazing! Really goes well with the mood of the song. Darius is 1 of the greatest
Saw Hootie when they opened up for Toad the Wet Sprocket in 1995. They were just starting to become popular. Toad was my fav band so I was front & center & got backstage passes & met all the blowfish, along with the Toad guys. Sadly, Darius wasn’t there. But he was right in front of me when he sang this song, which was my fav at the time. Still have it on my phone today.
hello friend, how are you doing today
Very special performance, love it
This is great! So is Darius and Dax doing To Be a Man.
Great voice...better than ever!!! One of " Our "song's
Darius is awesome, outstanding singer.
God given talent
One of the only artists out there today who sounds better live but am i the only one who thinks this man sounds better than he did in the 99's?
In the 99's? Umm...yes, he sounds good
