I was 12 when this came out, I’m 31 now. Time goes so fast. Immediately transported back to simpler times again listening to this. School, friends, family holidays etc. Don’t waste a second youngsters, life goes by in a flash - enjoy it!
Butterfly is a great song, but to me, Starry Eyed Surprise is classic California dreamin' and it's Shifty's anthem that will be around forever. Keep creating wherever you are, brother.
Dreaming is the right word and nevermind just Cali, rather all the whole of USA people all you do is dream your life away and you all get full on depression and butthurt mode whenever someone mentions just a grain of truth or reality into the mix ...
My only brother passed away 11 years ago. This was one of his favorites songs, best parties of my life were with my brother and this song. Right now I'm playing this song at a ridiculous excessive volume so we both can heart it. CAZZ 1981-2009
So so true this song is a time machine for me and my wife both this used to be our jam while driving around in our drop top Jeep back in the days of sex all night and just enjoying life before kids and bills that’s it I gotta watch night at the Roxbury now it’s one of those days I may even bust out the jnco jeans
2002…my first baby was born. I used to watch videos at night everytime he woke up. This song brings me back to that room…he’s still my Starry Eyed Surprise.
I’m having a moment. An attack of nostalgia. This is the first time I’m hearing this song in at least 20 years. I forgot it existed. Someone please invent a time machine and take me back to the early 2000s
Yo tengo la máquina del tiempo queda en el centro Del mundo en quitó Ecuador pero si te regreso a esa época del 2000 no existirás en el 2021 en esta época
R.I.P. Shifty Shellshock both butterfly and this song were in my rotation on launchcast back in summer 02 middle school days drinking code red and sobe all summer. Prayers to your family and friends thank you for the great music
This song was released years before it even got popular, I heard it and loved it, could not understand why it was not a hit. Years later it was featured in a beer commercial and it blew up, this is further proof that people need things curved on them to realize they like it.
People Say the 90s were that last of the great decades. This song reminds me of the end of those great years. Everything since feels like cookie cutter garbage, where you can’t tell if it came out in 2005, 2015 or yesterday. Songs like this are the closest to time machines we will ever have
RIP Shifty. Thank you for being an integral part of my childhood memories. 2000s music would have been incomplete without "butterfly", "starry eyed surprise" and "revolving door".
I’m obsessed with this song for the last few weeks 😂😂im 50 y old and I dance almost every time. I've never understood why older people feel ashamed or anything like that. For liking this music! Which when they were young was great! Since when is music about age? Enjoy life responsibly, love and be loved because it is the only thing we will take with us from this world! Life is too short for banalities.
This song will always transport me back to the early 2000s. 6 year old me dancing in my bedroom to this song. ✨RIP Shifty, I hope you have found peace. Thank you for the memories and being part of my childhood. 🤍Tonight I'm seein' stars ✨
I'm 57 and loving this song as much as I did back in 2002, when I was driving around in my first car (yeah, finally got my license at 35, don't judge), still seeing a certain guy, and just getting through life. RIP Seth/Shifty!
No judgment. I had his music on my mp3 player in my 1991 camaro in 2008, I was 21 at the time. I cannot get rid of that car because of the memories it has (the music player was stolen unfortunately)
Still holds up in 2021. Nothing will ever be recorded again quite like it. What a euphoric, feel-good song. Helped me through a bad bad breakup back in the day. I'm 45 now and still love it.
Had to blast this as soon as hearing the news. 7+ years into recovery myself and I know personally the depths of the darkness addiction creates. I also unfortunately know how many lives it takes, always the best people with the biggest hearts that leave us too soon. 💔 Hope you're up there somewhere rockin out among the stars. Thanks for the soundtrack to my youth. RIP Seth.
Reminds me of my skating rink days with old friends I’ve lost touch with. Hearing this song... I can see their smiling faces playing like a movie in my head. Early 2000s were such a vibe. 🪅
I was 24 years old when this song was released, and I've loved it ever since. It really is a masterpiece. I really appreciated it how Seth let us into his life when he appeared on Celebrity Rehab and Sober House. I really felt like I got to know him, and I was very sad hearing the news yesterday about his passing. I knew he never really beat the demons he was facing, and I was always worried that this day would come but hoping it wouldn't. Now all I can say is I'm grateful for the great songs like this that he left us with. RIP.
I’ll be 40 this year and this song came out in my young party days and it takes me back! Nostalgia is a real thing!! Enjoy your youth and time with friends cuz you blink & your 40 😅 makes me wanna grab some glow sticks & take a “roll” ✨
@@rf8646 Dam I lived in maryland and went Nations on Friday and Egde next door on Saturday nite. NATIONS rocked foam party's all different rooms of music had out door patio to smoke blunts
Randomly thought of this song in 2024 and now jamming with my 2 year old and hubby in the kitchen!! ❤❤ this song is so danceable !! Catch a star ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’m gonna be 52 this June, this isn’t a bad song! I have Oakenfold’s Voyage Into Trance cd it’s an incredible album! It feels like I’m taking a trip into space when I listen to it!!
No matter how bad life is treating you, you can always put this song on and dream of better days. Such a great vibe about life, dancing, partying, finding love, etc. ❤🙏🏻💥✌🏼
I love reading the comments..so many views and memories. So many wanting to go back, to relive their youth. I'm 56 this year...I never heard this stuff when the youth at the time were enjoying, rolling, partying and doing whatever. The beauty of music is it spans time and generations. Good music is made for the listener...its not owned or corralled for a specific age group, it encompasses all...I will enjoy this song till I depart this earth but I will live now, in this time and moment. I will appreciate each day, each person I care about, each memory. Its nostalgic and fun to look back but life is now...Live it!!!!
Perfecto yo tengo 40 años ahora y si escuchaba esta canción cuando salió me hubiera gustado igual o más que ahora. Y 20 años después tendría tu edad. Saludos
RIP Shifty Shellshock. This tune was an anthem of my raving days.
Absolutely 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Raving...??

R.I.P. Shifty, yet another star has left us.

Summer in the early 2000s. Optimistic and bright.

Less violence
Id love to time travel back to college back then

Music is magic

Wonderful memory. One of the sweetest comments on youtube ♥
this is incredibly cute
🥺🥺🥺
Ah so he was an accident?
So sweet!
I miss that era so much.
Sameeee
Me too 😭
I’m having a moment. An attack of nostalgia. This is the first time I’m hearing this song in at least 20 years. I forgot it existed. Someone please invent a time machine and take me back to the early 2000s
❤️❤️❤️
Ok
back to the early 2000s to fix everything that was f'kin up back then.

This period in time was truly a wonderful time to be young. ✌
Goot time from million People in the world, hello from Russia.
I was born in 2008, I wish I could feel the nostalgia that yall 90s kids can feel, but I love this song it's so much better than new music

Its one thing to be alive during this era, but to be apart of this video and crowd must have been something else 😢
RIP Shifty. We're gonna dance all night to this DJ, and to this MC. Godspeed
