I really dont think The State got the recognition and credit it deserved as an album there are some great tracks on that album this being one of them!!
+Caleb Bartlett Actually, The State did pretty well. "The album was the band's first album to be certified Gold in both Canada and in the United States, it later went Platinum in Canada in April 2002 and then went Platinum in 2008 in the United States." That's only 4 years after it was first released in Canada & 10 years later in the US. It's just not, I guess, as celebrated as their later albums.
Tell your friends not to think out loud Until they swallow Whisper things into my brain Your voice sounds so hollow I am not a leader of men Since I prefer to follow Do you think I could have a drink? Since it's so hard to swallow Yeah, so hard to swallow Turn your television off And I will sing a song And if you suddenly have the urge You can sing along I touch your hand, touch your face I think the fruit is rotten Give me lessons on how to breathe 'Cause I think I've forgotten Yeah, think I've forgotten One day out to a cliff That overlooks the water I jumped in to save a girl It was somebody's daughter And now the ring that's on my hand Was given to me by her And to this day, we all sit around And dream of ways to get higher Yeah, to get much higher Tell your friends not to think out loud Until they swallow Whisper things into my brain Your voice sounds so hollow, yeah I am not a leader of men Since I prefer to follow Do you think I could have a drink? Since it's so hard to swallow Yeah, so hard to swallow
Never heard a live version before but was totally blown away by this... liked a few of their songs years ago but didn't know much about them apart from that. May have to go back and check out their early stuff again if it's on par with songs like this!
I learn this song in guitar an i played while i herad it and when the part of distortion happen i got so excited i almost broke the strings :P NICKELBACK ROCKS!
Yeah, the lyrics, at least to me, don't make any fuckin sense, but finding out this song is about trippin w/o luggage makes it all good. And yeah, they rocked this shit.and a few other songs they have as well.
Yeah, most of their stuff I couldn't care less about... but this is such a cool track. Almost has an Alice in Chains vibe to it... maybe that's why I l like it.

I don't care if you like NB or not. This is a great song. Very underrated.
I love them
I find this the best track of Nickelback.
100%
Not even close 😂 it’s an ok song but far from their best work.. come on man.
I agree ❤
True
You are correct
I never really noticed man but Kroegers vocals are so controlled
Can haters admit this song is good
Absolutely killer tune… wish they stuck with this style 🤙🏻🤙🏻
I would say this is my favorite NB song.
This is my favorite song of theirs and i had no idea it was about shrooms.
The guitar riffs are just killer!
Still my favorite Nickelback song!!!!!!!
My fav Nickelback track

The State sold extremely well in Canada considering it was first released as an independent album that was picked up a year later by EMI Records.
@@SalandFindles In my opinion, The State is Nickelback's best album.
@R!OT EARTH its top 3.
Still my favorite Nickelback song 16 years after I heard it!
This big boom just before the first chorus is so crazy good. Love it
It's a perfect song. Period.
great song from worlds greatest band ⭐⭐⭐⭐🌟🌟🌟🌟🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠
Back when Nickelback used real drums. Ayotte are the best!
Damn, brings me back.
Better days.
My favorite Nickelback song....especially acoustic!
I’ve seen them probably 5 times in concert and they’ve never played this song! Which is one of my favorites
You are the best nickelback
for not many know of the roots of the band, feel lucky that you know the real Nickelback, I like the state the best of all albums
I don’t care how much hate nickelback gets, they are a band that sounds great live even to this day and Chad always sounds good.
They are Alberta boys of course we love them Edmonton loves Nickelback...Let me hear you scream Edmonton...yeahhhhhbb..💯💯💯🤟💪🌎👉♥️💯
Jammed this way way back in 2000 been a FAN ever since !!
Back when nickleback was still great
fugyoussoncoq It still is...
Still listening to this, what a great song
I miss this song. Bring back the original Nickelback!!! Heavy rules!!!!
Not Just Heavy Rules!!!, It's called Original Nickelback of Post-grunge Rules!!!
That metal does sound like fifty mission cap by the tragically hip.
With a "Cowboy Hat"
Tell your friends not to think out loud
Until they swallow
Whisper things into my brain
Your voice sounds so hollow
I am not a leader of men
Since I prefer to follow
Do you think I could have a drink?
Since it's so hard to swallow
Yeah, so hard to swallow
Turn your television off
And I will sing a song
And if you suddenly have the urge
You can sing along
I touch your hand, touch your face
I think the fruit is rotten
Give me lessons on how to breathe
'Cause I think I've forgotten
Yeah, think I've forgotten
One day out to a cliff
That overlooks the water
I jumped in to save a girl
It was somebody's daughter
And now the ring that's on my hand
Was given to me by her
And to this day, we all sit around
And dream of ways to get higher
Yeah, to get much higher
Tell your friends not to think out loud
Until they swallow
Whisper things into my brain
Your voice sounds so hollow, yeah
I am not a leader of men
Since I prefer to follow
Do you think I could have a drink?
Since it's so hard to swallow
Yeah, so hard to swallow
this song is so good
This Post-grunge Song is So good
why hasnt this song gotten millions of views?
All the Right Reason was a good album too, that one was my favourite
best song by nickelback in my opinion!

Saludos desde la comuna de Coelemu, Chile.
0:35 I love Chad's voice
I Like Chad Kroegers Grungy Voice
I heard that on boxing day 1998. My first nickelback song
I loved this song when I first heard it on the radio this song is just so damn cool Chad has the best voice
Fav nickle tune
NICE TRACK!
good old times!
uridium
This is just awesome
Their best track by a long way..... nothing comes close.
Chad is so much better with long hair
Filip 10 i agree
Definitely and then he did a nose job on top of it and ruined his voice. He's a whole different man now.
@@chimaera01 not really
@@furious_quin2318 yeah but you can get where he’s coming from though
2:03 EPICEST PART OF THE WHOLE VIDEO XD
Is that when Chad goes into boss mode?
@@OH_MY_DOGGG Chad goes into Chad mode
I learn this song in guitar an i played while i herad it and when the part of distortion happen i got so excited i almost broke the strings :P
NICKELBACK ROCKS!
Timeless excellence
This song gives them all the street cred.
I'd recently got a drum kit and, I'd love to learn this song I like this kind of music!🤙
Special day from the band and the public
this was their best track , they went fast downhill from here , at this time they where played at most alternative radio stations
I JUST learned this song is about shrooms and the lyrics make so much more sense lmao
nickelback is the greatest band of the 90s period, there fuckin awesome
Miles Lanning Didn't come around til 2001
ambrooks5 You have no idea what you're talking about. They put out two records before 2001. One of them being from the mid 90's.
Nickelback was an underground band in the '90's. Tool was the best band of the '90's
3:29 Cobain came from Afterlife to see Nickelback live gig
Sebastian Bochniak 😂😂
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
This is awesome
soooooo good
Chad "Nice!"
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nice song
Chad was still hot here. I miss his long hair
i like Chad's Guitar!
Alberta boys
Love magic mushrooms
How does this only have 4401 views???
Ahh.... I can smell the grass burin'in during this song!🤣🤣🤣🤣
And it came too pass turkey tail mushrooms brought me closer too him....
Old chad > new chad
Apparently robin daggers opened for them that night and grunge in Canada was born
super!
Curb's the best of all! In my opinion at least
Yeah, the lyrics, at least to me, don't make any fuckin sense, but finding out this song is about trippin w/o luggage makes it all good. And yeah, they rocked this shit.and a few other songs they have as well.

🎉 backass 🎉LOL 🎶 LOL 🎶

It a drug in a mushroom
What I don't get....peake playing the same guitar even when songs have different tunings.... weird.
HElp help wolf. Wolf. Wolf in pulpits banking prisons honey badgers
Only song I can handle from them, it's actually a decent tune
Yeah, most of their stuff I couldn't care less about... but this is such a cool track.
Almost has an Alice in Chains vibe to it... maybe that's why I l like it.
Loose the Cowboy hat and your looking sick
Its about shrooms?
crazy how this band used to be palatable
a little song about what? He said in the begning but I didn't understand.
About magic mushrooms :)
lol thanks for the answers
Cristiano Gizzi what could magic mushrooms mean?
SanjeevGeorgeV I think he's talking about drugs
+Jose Silva he was talking about adrug that natuarly occurs in mushrooms
This was the best..until they got all poppy...
So pale by comparison to the recorded version, which is truly haunting
Could someone explain the cowboy hat in a rock band? Psh. It's no wonder..
I like nickelback with ryan videkal, the drummer better.
Yeah, good times
Theyre music sucks in general but i do agree this is a good song.
No racism huh
It's a great track but sorry...they lost their man cards long ago
Those added screams are horrible - always.
