that's the best time to listen to it. I love that part in City of Angels when Iris is playing and Nicholas Cage is walking through the rain to get to Meg Ryan.
And I'd give up forever to touch you 'Cause I know that you feel me somehow You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be And I don't wanna go home right now And all I can taste is this moment And all I can breathe is your life When sooner or later it's over I just don't wanna miss you tonight And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming Or the moment of truth in your lies When everything feels like the movies Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am
This is my Alisha´s favorite song ever.... and, even if we are not together anymore... i will always remember her with this one!. A great song!... God bless you all and Goo Goo Dolls for this song!...
i feel like the answer really is simple- the song is touching because it speaks of wanting to be understood, and finding that one person with whom you don't have to hide, and they will accept you for who you are. They will not laugh,scorn or mock and they will be your friend forever because they understand you...when the rest of the world doesn't
OMG, It just so superb.. Iris was the first song of Goo Goo Dolls which I heard and it made me their big fan in the first sight... And now this acoustic version. All people who listen to new weird music should try this... ;)
Í think it's more like: I'd rather be lonely and alone, than lonely in a crowd. Sometimes it makes you even more lonely when you're around people who don't understand you, than to be alone. And he's so broken, that he just want's to be alone, nobody understands him anyway. Great song.. so powerful.
I like this version and the CD version equally. It's very hard to choose one over the other. While CD version is much more layered and fleshed out, this version has a very sincere quality to it.
Iris Goo Goo Dolls And I'd give up forever to touch you 'Cause I know that you feel me somehow You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be And I don't wanna go home right now And all I can taste is this moment And all I can breathe is your life And sooner or later it's over I just don't wanna miss you tonight And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming Or the moment of truth in your lies When everything feels like the movies Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am
My brother Clinton Morgan Young was killed on December 28th 2010. A car hit him and knocked him 70 feet down off of a overpass highway bridge onto another highway. He was 18years old. He had just finished basic training for the US Army and was home on Christmas leave. He was to be deployed on the 3rd to Germany. I played this song at his wake... I miss him so much. He was my soul mate and now he's gone.
@chuckawobbly I am so sorry for your loss Only 17? That is a very great loss..but . I understand- May the higher power protect his soul, and ease the pain of all his loved ones and friends. May you always remember him in a song, a feeling that he is near, and guardian angel forever....
actually, it was made specifically for the movie City of Angels. there's a video on youtube where John is asked about how he ended up writing the song. and he says himself that his manager came to him and said that the producers of the movie invited him to a private screening before it had come out so that he could write a song for it. look it up here on youtube, search: GGD, Iris, and MTV. if he hadnt seen the movie or been asked to write a song for it, this song wouldve never been created
yes and no. this song was made for the movie city of angels and the guy is a angel that falls in love with a human doctor. "I just want you to know who I am", means that he wants her to be able to see him and feel him and know him. they wrote this song for that movie, so the song iris basically describes the whole movie
@reflectionsofme Wanted to let you know how much I feel for you and understand about your loss. I lost my brother/soul mate in 2008. Just "want you to know who I am" and that I am sending love your way. Love the video. I know this may sound weird but...He's not gone...you just can't touch him and that's hard...But..he's not gone!!! xxooxx Nancy
your comment made me smile, makes me think there's still some good ol' America somewhere out there, beyond all the outfished lakes and streams and over crowded houses
@TheMastersAngel Thanks man, cherish not only the time you have with your brother, but with EVERYONE that is close to you.. family, friends, and make peace with your enemies... life is too short to be wasted on things like hate and greed... I've learned this the hard way... cherish every moment man. Lots of love.
did you use the acoustic version like this? or did you use the other Goo Goo doll album version? sometimes you can get away with it if you use the acoustic versions rather than the originals. x
@sexydlp93 how kind) It was horrible, we were very close in that way between Mothers and sons. Zach is in the video from a Springsteen fan that is up on my channel " If I should Fall Behind" you'll see him toward the end Zach is in his river skiff, with the sunset behind him It says " Zach Never Forgotten" and at the end it says in Memory of Zach, It really is touching.... There are some very good people here, thank you...
...And I'd give up forever to touch you Cause I know that you feel me somehow, You're the closest to heaven And all I can taste is this moment And all I can breathe is your life... I don't want the world to see me Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am.

This song recorded acoustic style feels more emotional and personal... I love it...
the greatest song ever written
So much more raw emotion than the album version. Thanks for sharing.
I've already watched "The City of the Angels" and I can't stop listening to this song.! Some amazing story.
Of course it made me cry ;p
Almost 2021 and this is still amazing.
that's the best time to listen to it. I love that part in City of Angels when Iris is playing and Nicholas Cage is walking through the rain to get to Meg Ryan.
Beautiful sent by my soul mate or best friend love it so much Iris by Goo Goo Dolls omg such a beautiful and emotional song aww❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎸🎵🎵🎶
This song is mystically soul moving in a gentle and dark kind of way!!! Almost hipnotic!!!
And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't wanna go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
When sooner or later it's over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
This is my Alisha´s favorite song ever.... and, even if we are not together anymore... i will always remember her with this one!. A great song!... God bless you all and Goo Goo Dolls for this song!...
I got you ill tell her you still care about her tonight
Great tune, great song,,thank you for sharin my dear bro..
La prima versione di iris, quella più bella.^^
Grazie per il video
i feel like the answer really is simple- the song is touching because it speaks of wanting to be understood, and finding that one person with whom you don't have to hide, and they will accept you for who you are. They will not laugh,scorn or mock and they will be your friend forever because they understand you...when the rest of the world doesn't
Finally found this version again,fits the theme of the song so much better.
The pics of the angels are very cool. I love the song, and the angel pics make it!!!
OMG, It just so superb.. Iris was the first song of Goo Goo Dolls which I heard and it made me their big fan in the first sight...
And now this acoustic version. All people who listen to new weird music should try this... ;)
I love this song so much, purely because i can relate to it.
Listening to great music makes your talent more better and influence more❤
Í think it's more like: I'd rather be lonely and alone, than lonely in a crowd. Sometimes it makes you even more lonely when you're around people who don't understand you, than to be alone.
And he's so broken, that he just want's to be alone, nobody understands him anyway. Great song.. so powerful.
