And people have the nerve to say that magic doesn't exist. Too often the magic of music has called me back from a deep dark place. Rebecca, if you’ve never believed someone when they’ve said, “I know just how you feel...” please, please believe me when I say... I do. I live with those thoughts but with the help of beautiful music and stories like yours often a tiny ray of sunshine will pierce the clouds and bring a small smile to my face...#youarenotalone
Guess if you're an introvert type of person, and that you are not good at making people understand you or the situation you're in, this song really hits you deep. We're always being misunderstood. *The world simply just can't understand* 💔 P.S. This is my all time favorite song.
I wonder if the song has a real meaning to it for him now. I'm a musician myself and If I were releasing hits like Slide then Iris then just fizzle out yet still being really good and writing one of the most iconic songs of the past generation. I don't know it's the feeling I got from listening to him when he got passionate. Love the band but it sucks when people just know that one.. like I also like blink 182 and everyone says yea i know them! What's your favorite song? "Well I only know all the small things". I know 40 - 50 years from now a lot more people are going to be showing their children Iris then blink 182 though. That's from a bigger blink than goo goo dolls fan, generally speaking, despite this being in my top 3 favorite songs of all time. I feel that same loneliness and Adam's song kept me alive by blink when my depression was at its worst. This one reminds me of what my heart longs for the most. It allows my heart to scream whenever it needs to and nothing can do that more than Iris.
@Treva Land God damn man, take it down a notch hey? Like holy shit, those things are completely different from what I'm even talking about. But trust me, it's actually hard to find songs like this. I've looked. And I'm telling the truth here. Dick head.

In 1999, at probably the lowest point in my life, this song came onto the radio just as Eklutna Lake came into view. Both hearing this song and seeing the wide vista of that glacier filled lake for the first time are inexorably intertwined. I sat in my car and just...wept. A cathartic release of every bit of grief, self-loathing, pain, and anger that I had been feeling for the past year. I sat there just a little while longer, composing myself before heading to the stony shore of that deep blue lake reflecting the surrounding mountains back to the sky.
This song means the world to me. I lost my dad 2 years ago, I was only 21. This song just so happens to come on whenever I need reassurance/a sign from him. It has changed my life and has saved it in more ways than one. ❤️
Ciara, bless you. It is sad that your Father is no longer here on this earth with you but I'm glad you got 21 years to learn what type of Man he was and the Love he had for you. I lost my Da, when I was three years old and me Ma just before I turned eight. I break down because I never got to know them when it counted. I can't say I miss them cos they are Strangers. I'm now a Father of 4 and a Grandfather of 3. I wish I had someone just to say "You did good Son, they are Good kids" Ciara please never forget your years with your Dad, it is THE Most valuable gift ever. I wish you Love and Happiness C.
My 14 year old boy has Duchenne Muscular dystrophy. He’s slipping away from me as the days pass by and this is the song I regularly go to. Very strong piece of music
I am so happy that you can find some peace and strength in this magic song. I hope that your heart is still in one piece and you will always find a safe home in this song
When groups, bands, musicians, writers do things like this with awesome lyrics, great sound, they become legends. This song has touched many people in a lot of ways.
I'll never ever forget dancing to this track with my beautiful first Wife in the nightclub. R.I.P Patricia Maree Johnston (Steinhardt) 💜🐻 🥰❤ You will be forever in my Heart...
Was in a difficult relationship when this song first came out. Hearing this then gave me a new perspective and changed my life. I revisit that moment whenever I hear this. One of the most touching pieces of music I have ever heard.
I'm simply amazed that they're still going strong, still touring and everything. Iris premiered on the airwaves what feels like a lifetime ago, and here we are now.
it took me a few weeks to Get the title of this song. I think this is so much the #hsp life. Most people don’t have any idea what empaths experience on a daily basis. This song is beautiful, truly a masterpiece that could represent different things to different people.
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 want to 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 meant 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 meant 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 meant 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 meant 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
Wonder if Goo Goo Dolls ever got some,awards ,certainly deserve it.Their great music inspires us carries us when we're down and moves us to be better human beings,sometimes brings us to tears some from joy ,some from sorrow. ❤
Life was awful for me when this song came out. I cannot express in words how much this song - its meaning, the beauty of its melody and lyrics - helped me through that terrible time. It continues to help me now, in times good and bad. Just such a beautiful song.
My Bror/BEST FRIEND; 1994...This song helped me understand for which, after decades there truly, perhaps @ times w/I this JOURNEY, there is NADA UNDERSTANDING.....I AM GRATEFUL!!!
I am ... it‘s all about „love and hate“, „live and let die“ ... some call it „life“ ... “It was 1997 and I was feeling kinda schizophrenic,” Rzeznik recalls. “My wife and I had just broken up, and I’d met another girl who I was really into. I’d moved from my home in Buffalo, New York, and was living in this hotel. So it was a really manic time in my life. I was looking for something to hold on to.”
Wasn't a Goo Goo dolls fan in their prime, but looking back now they were one of the most pivotal bands of the era. These guys are the soundtrack to my high school years.
I have listened to this song again after a few years and it always comforts me and takes me back to a very special time in my life. It's amazing the power of music
Johns Voice. The lyrics. Swear it can amp the love vibrations higher~ For me.... I'm thinking many feel it. Sharing the gift while raising vibes~ frequency.... Let's Love In.... wordplay with song 😉
This song reminds me of holding on to my first love. It teaches me to learn from and then let go of even the most beautiful and best of things because a lot more awesomeness is always out there.
I saw these guys in concert a few summers ago, they were amazing. I will forever love their music. No matter how it's played, this song will always be beautiful to me.
As with all pure art that is created, this song touches a place of emotion that is as complicated as the song it's self. What a gift you have given to us! Thank you.
These guys are from my neck of the woods- Buffalo Ny. Robby's a real salt of the earth type. Glad John's faced his alcoholism. Good guys that made some great tunes.
This song means so much to me.... Its been a part of my labyrinth life... Every time i hear it i had mix emotions cause it reminds of my past... And i know, until i die, this will be my favorite song...

So true :(
True
I would be classed as an extrovert with an introvert personality I have loved and welcomed a song about who I am
“Yeah, you bleed just to know you’re alive” is the line that I think about, unfortunately.

Nothing cooler than the whole orchestra playing along with the band
String section… you’re about 50 musicians short of an orchestra
There will rarely ever be a song like this today.
Never!

This reminds me of a 55 year abuse from my family. I just needed a witness to hear me. Thank god for the people that hear this plead.💕💕
OMG…I am 60 years old and all I needed was one witness also. I don’t know how to say how important that was to hear from some else.💕

Finally relaxing.
Same here man, 98-99 good times, song never gets old
This song is pure magic
This song will forever be my favorite song in the world
One of if not the best songwriter of the 90's, that still holds up today and sounds relevant.
There is no more music today that will stand the test of time.
@@jasonreynolds6277 Agreed
Johnny and the boys don't ever seem to get the credit they deserve. He's a frickin songsmith!!! Cheers!!!
I saw these guys in concert a few summers ago, they were amazing. I will forever love their music.
Even more powerfull in concert!!! :D
Summer of 99 I saw these guys with Sugar Ray and Fastball. My first real concert.
Goo Goo dolls-cindy☺
Great songs never gets old!! :)

Iris premiered on the airwaves what feels like a lifetime ago, and here we are now.
The 90s had some amazing songs/music. This one is one of the best.
Sweet alteration of the chorus - love it. My God, what an amazing song.
Such an alteration reminds me another song that I am not able to remember now, do you have any thought?
Love when the strings backup any band live. Adds and compliments a whole new level and element.
My favorite version of this song ever recorded, live or studio
This never gets old for me!
No matter how it's played, this song will always be beautiful to me.
💟this version its beautiful😢

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 want to 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 meant 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 meant 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 meant 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 meant 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
