This is a great song.
I love Atlantic Records! You guys never disappoint ❤
Loved this song from the beginning and I always will!

I'm working on that time machine, guys. I will get us all back home.
How will you fit all of us ? Cause I want in. This 2020 isn't for me. I miss the 90s
I think I figured out how to do it!
I'm in I miss the 90s so let me know lol
Shotgun! (If that’s a thing in a time machine) 🥰
Don't forget me!
Whose rocking to this in 2024!
yep! here!

I'm here May 24th 2024 😊

Yooo!
One day scientists will figure out why this song hits so different when you're grocery shopping 20 years after it came out.
It's psychological nostalgia... apparently in the 60s they played 30s music...they play the good older tunes food shopping so we will be all happy and spend/shop more and connect the store with good times/tunes
Because it's the best _muzak_ song ever recorded. It's also a so-so pop song too.
So true! Lol! I feel like it's always on when I go into Kroger
Heard this in the grocery store yesterday been singing it since then lol
True Dat 😻
This song is like a breath of fresh air. I miss the 90's so much.
Me 2 i was born in 90
A friend & I discuss the 90s often. I was an 80s Teen and can tell you, the 90s were much richer and memorable overall. There's nothing Like the 80s for sure, yet
The 90s are regarded as the last great Everyman decade.
I believe the best, is yet to come.
Ironic, but true
It was the last decade before social media and hand held computers didn’t destroy people. Memories were left to the mind alone and VHS videos. I loved the 80’s and 90’s.
the 90s was nihilistic with a last gasp of meaning@@Nathantodd2012
I hated elementary school and my childhood was no fairy tale, however I miss the feeling of the 90s. It's hard to explain.
Know the feeling.
I hated high school.
Same here. Horrible childhood growing up, but things and people were more simple back then.
I hated high school but still miss the 80s. So it's relatable.
I feel the same
I’m Saudi from Jeddah city, 43 years old. They used to play this song in the radio most of the times, it brings back sweet memories and get me high spirited every time I listen to it.
It's very emotional for me
You and I same age, this song totally brings so much memories.
I am 44 saw this for the first time in my teens on MTV....best times
Im in my 40's now and this song came when i was in my late teens. It's a bitterswet reminder of what my life has gone through to get to this point.
I remember hearing this on the radio every day when i was a kid out in the barn doing chores. Also 'Sunny Came Home' and 'Give Me One Reason' I remember.
Having nostalgia I loved this at 13 I'm now 39
Real talk.
I remember this in the 90s playing in the morning right before school. Totally hits different with the early spring sunshine hitting you on your way to school with this playing in your walkman
There was something very relaxing and sweet about the 90's.
man, I am a child of the 90's so maybe it's just nostalgia, but I swear the radio was amazing in the 90's
Not just nostalgia. it was absolutely amazing
So true my friend! It really was a special time in music.
dreaminginnoother 🎵👍
Yeah it's sad. Life and the economy was better for musicians back then as well. It's tough to pursue creative career paths in this generation
Facts, Im 24 and the music from your days is darn amazing. Matchbox 20, The wallflowers, The gin blossoms, Sheryl crow, 3 doors down, Michelle branch, Alanis Morisette, Counting Crows, Howie Day, Third eye blind, Nirvana. I could go on and on man. My generations music is trash, 90's music was really music with real instrumentals. None of that computerized autotune shit, and no damn smartphones. People actually talked to people, every one is a zombie on their phones in this day in age. Its funny that my "generation" (especially hipsters) try to emulate the 90's style to a certain degree. No one is authentic anymore !
R.I.P. Andrew Rego who passed on 19 years ago after a school skiing trip accident, my best friend, you will never be forgotten. We used to sing this one on the bus every single chance we heard it come on. Bus buddies for forever bro.
Damm sorry man
RIP to your friend, Andrew.
I'm sorry about your friend🙏
Thoughts for your friend.
@John Smith I dont think he killed his friend man. I think it was an accident. Unless you know something everyone else doesn't.
It’s crazy how many of us are missing the past while we live in the future we yearned for back then.
Absolutely love this song
I’m not sure if we were yearning for the future , we just never thought it would be such a drag , especially music wise
It’s because the world is changing for the worse. Evil and corruption is trying to take over. Even music has taken a fall
@@sanaruarts5527 -Agree 100%.
Fr
Don't you love it when a few fragments of lyrics pop into you head, you have a moment to search and are rewarded with a gem like this? Not sure what I did to deserve this but thank you!
As a 58 year-old man that grew up without all this s*** I know exactly what you're talkin about and it is so cool because I needed this song today and pulled it right out of the air
@@kennethgrundmann5576 I'm a 59-year-old woman and I know what ya mean. The song literally just popped into my head today too. Just played it and was like ahhhhh yasssss... 👍😁
@@hollydoll2905 definitely takes you back to a simpler time doesn't it
@@kennethgrundmann5576 absolutely!! 💯💯💯💯💯
yay!!
Heading this song just reminds me of how awesome the 90s were… before internet and cell phones were everywhere.
True !
Yes indeed, and I would gladly give up todays' internet/cell phones for the slow internet/block size cell phones to go back to the 90s. The time of my life.
Couldn’t agree with you more man. Just pure nostalgia with this song.
Facts! ❤️
Sadly, I was already hook to the internet in 97' but no cell phones for sure.✌️
Top 3 songs that remind me of the 90s:
Someday- Sugar Ray
Barely Breathing- Duncan Sheik
Torn- Natalie Imbruglia
Love all these 3 songs 👍
Just a perfect song. Even as a metalhead, if Im ever in a car and this comes on, its getting turned all the way up
Fellow metal/indie head, loving this nostalgia
Same. I'm a grunge/metalhead but this song gets a listen every single time. Ain't no shame.
Apparently he won a minor Tony Award for an obscure musical just a few years later, and has mostly had good work as an arranger and musical director after that.
Same here. I have 90s on 9 preset on my sirius radio with liquid metal, octane, turbo, etc.... most get skipped on that channel (Brittney spears and such), but not this one
90s music is what I grew up on. This, grunge, punk, anything on the local rock stations. But then I discovered Pantera. And Slayer. And Sepultura. And Lamb of God. My love for the guitar grew so much when I watched a video of Dime playing 'Domination' in Moscow '94. He became my idol, and metal is what I became. But still, I'll listen to the songs that remind me of when times were so much simpler, and this is one that I'll crank up in the car. My wife will just look at me and ask "why the hell is this on your playlist? Next time play it before you make my ears bleed!" 😅😅😅
As a Black Man in Brooklyn, I want to know who is here in '23!❤😂🎉 Now it's 2024!🎊🎊🎊
As a fellow black man I'm here with you brother
I'm Asian who loves this song..
@@zaharinurulain7412 And you are also Gorgeous 😍😂
Same here fellow black man🤝🏾
As a lover of music who was on the verge of manhood when this song came out. I am here and don't care about anything but us all enjoying the music and our memories.
I miss how laid back the 90's were. You can see it in the clothes, you can hear it in the music. It was just a laid back time. The Calm before the storm, if you will.
TableWrens 😊
That’s what I was thinking, pre-9/11 and Middle East conflicts, no third wave radical feminism/SJW/PC/BLM shitstorm. Everybody was more or less chilled the fuck out and having a good time. Here’s to hoping we see another decade or era of positivity and chill.
TableWrens Well said
Hell yes
Nah, that was just the heroin.
A song for every human being who ever found themselves hopelessly in love with someone that was so wrong for them....
Nailed it
Damn, you are so right. This song bring me so much memories of that one I loved the most.
Watching that person waste away right now. And I can't help because its mental health and addiction. I've already moved in saved relapsed moved out moved back in relapsed moved out lost everything ..twice
@@thoroughbred2741I'm so sorry man. I hope you're able to be well brotha
What if that person was actually so right for them ( •̩̩̩́ _ •̩̩̩̀)
The memories this song just triggered is bittersweet… I miss this era so bad I could cry… 😢 I’d literally do anything to go back
One of the best songs of all time.
Arguably true
It is a very good song.
He wrote this about himself quitting smoking,he said it on the late show.
When you find out this guy went on to become a Tony award winning Broadway Musical composer. Wow.
Thanks for that gem!
when you don’t care 🤷🏼♂️
@@raycist108 Or when you just want to be an ass!
@@jglencarr5390 it’s worth a Tony 🏆
🥂
Not in the least surprising.
One of THE best songs of the 90s!!!!
Love it.so much
of ANY decade...just a great great song
I agree.
Even if he never wrote another one, he wrote one great song, and that's something.
Are you kidding me?? Just because he never made another “hit” doesn’t mean he didn’t write INCREDIBLE music. Listen to those first 5 records. They are absolutely incredible. Barely anyone could ever write as good as Duncan sheik
Imagine saying this about the man who wrote every song in Spring Awakening
Bite Your Tongue was an excellent song too.
He went on to do some other things in the business
@@Knicksmix973 Including writing two broadway musicals, one of which was tony winning
I’m 17, mopping the lobby at McDonald’s in Mendota Illinois, 1996…
Ha ha same age at the same time cruising around my hometown of Lewiston, Idaho in my truck as this comes on the local Rock radio station. Good times!
Happy 45th birthday, good sir.
I'm in 5th grade lol, loved this song though even if I was little.
God, I miss the 90's.
Me too.
+Chris Nealis I do too... I would give anything be 27 but living 90's
I agree . the 90s was the last good music era.
Same here... :/
+Chris Nealis ...(sigh!!)...a Double Ditto here!!!...(another sigh!!)...
This is one of the greatest songs of all time in my opinion
Taste.
2024 and still listening to this like there's no tomorrow! ❤
Yes always! ❤
I never get tired of this song. #2023
Yeah, I'm still "thinking it over".
I just got hit in the feelings by this song I heard before but now has a different meaning after ending a relationship with a girl I loved. I became a fool when she came and go. ☹️
At 16 years of age I was sentenced to 30 years in prison. the courts sentenced me excessive according to their own laws. I wound up doing 16 years in prison. I got out when I was 32 years old. this song was playing a lot! It reminds me of freedom AND HAPPINESS!
what did you do?
+Justin Lee I robbed a bank.
Oh wow. Congratulations on the turn around.
Justin Lee God Almighty set me free. I was raised in foster homes from age 4 to 16. From there I went to prison from 16 to 32. Life is much better now.
krazykoolfool Wow. How'd you do it? Did you have any friends that helped you do it? Was it like in movies, (ski masks, shotguns, etc)
This guy poured his heart out on this one, shame we don't hear from him anymore this whole album is solid no one hit wonder here.
I agree! Duncan sheik is a very talented artist and deserves praise for his powerful songwriting! The fact I still love this song years later is a testament to his talent!💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
In a recent interview, he only put this song in to fill out his album, not as a lead single. Also, he moved on to compose Broadway shows like Spring Awakening, the darling of the Tonys. He's doing just fine.
Agree. This whole album is great. Obviously underrated. Duncan is the man! 😊
Fabulou and often dark, introspective and moody album. I think very underrated.
@@susanl8070 I was so happy when I caught up with him several years ago. Talent like that needs to go where it needs to go.
Where did this kind of music go? I miss it! Love this beautiful song.
Back To a time when the world wasn't so filled with hate
Duncan Sheik . 👍
Nostalgia is so powerful. This song transports me back to my teenage years, laying in the back of my jeep on the beach, staring up at the stars and listening to the radio.
I just got my license and first car when this song came out. I was the only one out of all my friends that loved this song. Still have the single on cd. Yup....nostalgia!
I miss this time….once when I was just barely an adult and enjoying the 90’s economy and success at adulting…..friends and great times.
I love how expressive he is too. Just looking at his face and his eyes, you see the love, confusion, pain, dawning realization, sense of betrayal, indecision. Clear but subtle and not overacted. He could have been a great actor if he had wanted to.
You can hear the emotion in his voice too, as a blind person like me.
This guy's management failed him. Good musician, attractive young man. Should have had a real career. But I know he's made plenty of money off this one song.
@@User31129 He also got into writing music for Broadway in more recent years.
This song takes me back to better days
yea i agree it really does. i remember bein in my car seat and hearin this hit on the radion along with some alanis and hootie and blues traveler
Hope you got some better days coming your way brother, keep your head up
+Samuel Bonham in that order
catothewiser amen to that !
Agreed!!
From a metal head this tune is perfect. Cool bass line. Drums are perfect vocals are great. Just perfect production
This song is everything
Definitely
Somebody please bring this kind of music back
This song is so 90s and I mean that in a good way.
I mean it just feels like a classic '90's summer song. The kind of song rebellious hippies used to listen to back when just hanging out at the pool after school was the cool thing to do.
they don't make them like they used too
Song and video both so 90s
I'd be honored if some fans of melancholic 90s classics would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of LONG DECEMBER by the Counting Crows and Mmm Mmm Mmm by the CRASH TEST DUMMIES on my YT channel in tribute to 3 great standards of the mid/late 90s era. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital enhancements. Thanks and peace out.
*it is 2020 and I am barely breathing* 🌹 still one of my top 90's nostalgic go-to
I agree!
Exactly, I started singing that lyric :& then realized it was song from when I was a child....
It's probably cause you have the coronavirus
Nowadays if you're barely breathing you've probably got covid-19
Agreed
heard this song all the time as a kid… lost it for about 20 years. then my head EXPLODED when i heard it again… this song will always hold such a special place in my heart
TH-cam just fed it to me. I’m so thankful! I’m having major 90s flashbacks! ❤
@@sarar3615 i try to listen to a few 90’s song everyday to remind me of the simpler times ❤️
Just remembered this song 👍 listening in 2024 😊
Isn't it funny how most people, regardless of their age, think that the last great musical era was the one from their youth, and everything since just doesn't quite measure up. I am in my 60's now, and I can tell you, in my opinion, that there is great music out there from every decade, if you just look for it. (It won't come looking for you!)
exactly my observation as well. 90's was my era and the songs during that time had a lot of impact in my psyche while i'm growing up. it was the late 90's when I discovered older era songs from the starting from the 50's and there were really good tunes and the song writing is superb as well.
Each generation has become more commericalized......but yes.....if you look harder....there is a lot of great music in every generation!!!
Do you think it means that what we're saying is...the music I prefer is so because it represents the best time of my own life?
Yes, I think that's at least part of that perception, but isn't that a sort of depressing way of looking at your life? You can usually find "good" things in life if you look for them.
reaperrap9
Your post is refreshing. I too feel the same way and have for a long time now. Good music is good music no matter when or where it's found. Though the music of my youth is generally my favorite (at least my favorite to revisit it now and again) I've found great music in many decades. I did think earlier today that I am stuck in "English" music though. At least as far as language and geneology. I love me some classic Handell and Behothven as much as I love Green Day, Tonic, Stone Ponys, Sade, Nanci Griffith & Bob Mould.
Someone needs to do a deep and thorough scientific study to determine why this is such a good song to shop for groceries to.
I'm thinking it over, anyway🎶
Don't suppose it was worth the price I had to pay
Facts lol
The relationship in this song strongly reflects my relationship with Ben and Jerry’s ice cream
This and Del Amitri lol
Who else runs to this track when life throws you a curve ball and sends you reflecting on decisions you have made.
And put it on loop.
a random encounter told me she is pregnant
@@eliaslaurent3207 LOL! That was funny......I often feel like I'm barely breathing!
Damn. Well put.
I've just imagined someone driving on the highway, reflecting on tough decisions as this song plays.
This is one of those extra special songs that you can't really explain why you love it so much. I play this song a lot when I'm feeling a little isolated from the world. Really helps to hear when times are tough. Sending a lot of good thoughts to those who may need a little extra support today! Shoutout to Duncan Sheik!!!
This song may have the most perfectly written bridge in all of music.
This song helped me through a narcissistic abuse situation. This played on the radio when I was thinking about the future of my so called "relationship" with someone who "really had me going, wishing on a star". But the black holes that surrounded them were, indeed, heavier by far. But I was thinking it over anyway. Because I wanted to believe or imagine they really did care about me the way they pretended to. Despite all the ways they emotionally abused me. But this song helped seal my decision. I have no regrets. Because I, too, didn't suppose it was worth the price that I would pay had I continued. It wasn't worth the one I already paid. I feel a lot better now... still a lot of healing to do but it's a step up from where I was✌
Thanks for sharing this comment brought me to tears I hope your healing as I am. Sad to say I was very toxic as well Hurt People Hurt People. Shopping and found this gem of a song!
Yep. Totally defines a relationship with a narcissist.
right on !
@@oliveoil4380 Good point, but also doesn't have to be a narcissistic person, just a manipulative one
@@DKnight4u Or someone that’s been through trauma and is healing themselves.
The instrumentals on this track is sick and nostalgic. I vote to bring back the 90s-2000s.
Still jamming as 2022 is winding down!
Right here with you bro!
❤
Merry Christmas and happy New years.
As I reminisce over the 90s.. gone in time, but eternally ingrained in our souls🤙
Same
You sound utterly clueless.
I was hooked the very first time I heard this song! It brings back memories from a better place and time!
You'll get back there x
I don't remember this well. But he was a hunk anyways. He looks like Stephen Jenkins & Paul Rudd's lovechild
The best songs grab you after a few listens. But, it's a rare one that grabs you the very first time. They usually have an often repeated hook--either a sung or melodic part--that have you singing along with it by the end. This is one of those. I also liked and remembered it from the very first time. (Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald/G Lightfoot proves it can be done with no singing required in the hook).
I hear ya, I was 18 years old, life was so sweet.
...yes it does...its very bittersweet...and beautiful...horrible video...excellent song.....the memories i have to this song...i heard it enough to not really care who sings it...but i heard it at work a few days ago...and almost went into a trance...i asked who sings it ...and here i am...i remember everything like it was yesterday...just so clear and lyrical...
Great tune from 1997.. The good Ole 90s... The best decade ever.. Now long ago and far away.
I love this guy and his music. Unfortunately he's one of the most underrated singers ever 🥺
He wrote the music for a Tony award-winning musical, Spring Awakening.
@@prompt000 he did? I didn't know it! He's so talented!!
@@prompt000 I had no idea I'm going to have to check that out
Yeah. Duncan wrote the music for the Broadway show Spring Awakening, and he is an underrated singer. The least favorite compliment for a singer. A one hit wonder. Barely Breathing put Duncan Sheik on the pop charts map with heavy rotation on the top 40 radio in the 90's.
So... u and i we are lucky for know him

song came on today as i was driving home and i just started tearing up. Took me right back to my childhood. long days gone by
I know, too.
This song came out at the exact time I was in the most disastrous relationship of my life. Every. Single. Word. speaks exactly to what was going on... we were off and on for several years and then remained friends until the off and on thing reared it's very ugly head and then last year finally called it off for good after he threw me under-the-bus AGAIN. I think it's interesting that I've never seen this song online (TH-cam) and it popped up after another song (that I've never seen online) .. time to heal for real this time and asking God to heal the deep wound in my soul...
A piece of the soundtrack for the most magical summer I've ever had. So many friends, so much love, so much...everything. It makes me cry whenever I think about it. So happy I got to participate, not just watch it.
90s had the best music in every genre. pop, r&b, classic rock, alternative, latin, techno/dance, hip hop..goodness just everything..i miss it so much. thank the lord for music the time machine
Exactly what i think
You are absolutely right. 90s were cosmic. Much like the 70s funk. Listen to Heatwave-Boogie Nights
👏🏽👏🏽
Don't forget BOY BANDS :D
Ms. Maria E. Smith, I must respectfully disagree with you. The 80’s had the best music 🎶-rock, metal, new wave, pop, r&b and alternative. When the 90’s ended, in the year 2000 was when you saw the 80’s bands reuniting because there was still a market for them. I don’t recall that for the 90’s, and trust me I was looking for them
Great high school memories...wish I could turn back time. Momma would still be here, she went to be with our lord on 1/10/18 from Pancreatic Cancer...Cancer is so merciless. Thank you for everything you did for me momma, Rip momma I miss you more and more everyday.
Blessings.
thank you and God Bless as well
Many Blessings, She's Still With You
Wow I share your pain. What a small world it is, my mother passed away just before mothers day this year from pancreatic cancer....
She lives, just in a different way! Bless her and you as well!
Damn!!!!!!!!! 90s vibe!!! 🔥🔥🔥 I think that 1990-2000 could have been the best period in the U.S!!! 2001 - Now SCARY AF!!!!!!!!
I'm going through depression right now and surrounded by people who don't believe I am sick and don't think I need help. this song really speaks to me. I use it to drown my thoughts.
+panjeearmonia been there! :-( Hope you feel better and things get better for you!!
I've always found this song to be somewhat depressing but I've always liked it anyway.
***** happy that you have gotten better and thank you for saying that, it means a lot :)
Counting Crows were always my go to group when I was depressed.
panjeearmonia we all have songs like that and unfortuntely most people will never understand til something bad hits them!
I'm barely breathing in the year 2021. Take me back to the 90s.... Help me breathe once again.. I miss the 90s. I would give anything to return back to this simpler place in time.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this song! It gets me going in a way that is hard to describe!! I'm ready to dance when I hear this!! ❤
Out of all of the memorable 90s alt rock classics, this is one of the ones that hits the hardest.
Choice Nostalgia right here. I'm hopping out of my mom's gold 1990 Volvo station wagon onto my skateboard humming this song, carefree, all over again.
My mom had a 94 Pontiac sunbird
This 80's baby and 90's kid is still loving this song 23 years later in 2019...
@Jamie Lloyd Yes! It's a timeless classic 😊🎧
Yeah man, I can feel, let it rock. Wish I could find a gal that loves these tracks, but let it rip
Same here
Yo right here 80's Baby and 90's kid honestly I would love to go parasailing with this song
This is Generation X and this is how they did it.
You got that right! I love being a Gen X'er!
Yes!!
Totally true, my uncle & cousins are some of the coolest people I have EVER met, & with awesome music taste...
This is one of those songs that absolutely transports me when I hear it. I was a kid when it came out and it’s like I’m back there listening to the radio in the morning while I get ready for school or swim practice. Thank you Duncan Shiek
So many memories. I miss my life back then.
One of the most beautiful songs in my playlist!
And you know it..
Man I LOVED Duncan Sheik...this takes me back to a fantastic time!! 💕😛
Damn, I got hit with a warm summer breeze and I was back for a second.
GREAT Song that I found myself Singing today and had to hear it!
This song is timeless.. so great still today.
Too right mate
+puckdropper27 some songs are just that way... found this one again by accident 5 years after it meant something, but it still does.
The 1990s certainly had its share of great novelty one-hit wonders.
roguenation indeed
I heard this song in a scene from Cruel Summer 2... I love 90s music. I miss it!!!
My daughter told me about a time when she was out with her friends. She started having an asthma attack and this song came on. She was okay and laughs about it today.
Oh my goodness wow that is some *crazy* irony
Oh my God! How crazy is that? Glad she’s OK! That should happen in a movie L O L.
90s!!!! I recall this song hitting big in 1997. I was between my junior and senior years of high school that summer and working at a crappy grocery store as a cashier. I hated that job then, but I look back on it now with good memories. This song was ALL over the radio around that time, and it got lots of airplay well into 1998. Now I'm instantly transported back to those days when I hear this. To be that young again, haha. Great song.

27 years later. 🥹
This, “roll to me”, and “two princes” are the most 90’s songs ever. Also that “on my way” song from Matilda. What a great time for music. “I don’t suppose it’s worth the price, it’s worth the price the price that I would pay” is such a hook an earworm. I wake up with it in my head sometimes.
I know what you're doing
I see it all too clear
I only taste the saline
When I kiss away your tears
You really had me goin'
Wishin' on a star
The black holes that surround you
Are heavier by far
I believed in your confusion
You were so completely torn
It must've been that yesterday
Was the day that I was born
There's not much to examine
There's nothing left to hide
You really can't be serious
If you have to ask me why
I say goodbye
'Cause I am barely breathing
And I can't find the air
I don't know who I'm kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
I don't suppose it's worth the price
And worth the price, the price that I would pay
And everyone keeps asking, "What's it all about?"
I used to be so certain and I can't figure out
What is this attraction?
I only feel the pain
There's nothing left to reason and only you to blame
Will it ever change?
'Cause I am barely breathing
And I can't find the air
I don't know who I'm kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
I don't suppose it's worth the price
And worth the price, the price that I would pay
But I'm thinking it over anyway
I'm thinking it over anyway
I've come to find
I may never know
Your changing mind
Is it friend or foe?
I rise above
Or sink below
With every time
You come and go
Please don't
Come and go
'Cause I am barely breathing
And I can't find the air
I don't know who I'm kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
I don't suppose it's worth the price
And worth the price, the price that I would pay
But I'm thinking it over anyway
I'm thinking it over anyway
And I know what you're doin'
I see it all too clear
Thanks
I was too young when this came out to think about the meaning of the lyrics, although I knew just about every word. Great song.
Dear Heavenly Father please take me back to the 90’s when I was in high school when this song came out. I don’t care if there was some one hit wonders just dear lord take everyone on here who positively commented on this Duncan Shiek song and video back to the 90’s for at least a week. The best era ever.
Amazing song! Nice memories
Great video, too! Pretty laid back ... can I claim to be back in that week in the 90's now?
Cause I am barely breathing
And I can't find the air
I don't know who I'm kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
I don't suppose it's worth the price
And worth the price, the price that I would pay... 🎶🎶🎶🎶 ❤️
I am a hard rock/metal kind of guy but the words to this song are incredible
The 90s really painted a different picture of the people that truly sought to love. We had piercings, tattoos, music talent for days, chip on our shoulders, but damn did we love. We loved fiercely and no one will ever disuade me of that.
Song never gets old makes me feel better during ups and downs that life can bring.
I wanna go back to this era. Great songs, I've got nothing againsts artists now but, these music and songs are great. The voice the genre,the lyrics. Oh got me nostalgic and old AF, and Im only 23 now,
I share your comment with all my heart.! got me in a nostalgic and good mood in like 3 seconds time.
Hi im Liber, nice to know ya!
This song was annoying af "back then". It played on Alt/Alt-Rock/Pop stations constantly, to the point that hearing it now kinda gives me PTSD. No, not all music from the 90's was good. So, don't kid yourself. Sure, enjoy what you will, but let's not go down the nostalgic well and start dusting off turds whilst tryin' to convince others, especially ourselves, that we're holding onto Gold.
No ones saying that. if it was played so much then maybe it was actually good?
@Justin MC Right? What are these kids saying this music makes them nostalgic for? Their blankies and sippy cups? I'm almost 33 and I got to listen to "90's" tunes being released on the radio or MTV for about 5 years. If you're much younger than that, you would have been too young to even understand that music. I just can't see tons of 3rd graders (or younger) relating to 90's alt about codependent relationships, unrequited love, suicide, drugs, the underbelly of ______ culture, or other popular subject matter of that era.
Agree, it was a great time. Miss it.
Reminds me of watching VH1, MTV, and Pop Up Video early in the morning, eating cereal and feeling carefree. Pure nostalgia. I miss those times.
The summer I worked at A&P, Duncan Sheik was appearing at PNCArts Center in NJ. They promoted the hell out it at A&P and every 20 minutes an ad for the concert came on with just the chorus playing. Stuck in my head forever.
Duncan I hope you somehow see this : I was a 80's baby and a 90's kid, with ( pre anxiety and bipolar which in those didn't know what it was). I was hurting and if anyone battles bipolar depression it's nothing you did just chemical imbalance but is real and physical, you physically hurt. ...He was my savior , with his words...he made in tolerable.
I remember I would pass going out with my friends sometimes in the weekend , feeling an episode coming on and instead cry , and listen to his music. He's gifted writing and tone in his voice is just as beautiful as Karen Carpenter , it seems as if he's only singing to you about you. I of course got help and I'm great now, but in my darkest moments of my life , he was .... my hero, you saved me from not taking my own life feeling someone understood me. Thank you Duncan. ..thank you." that says it allll doesn't It , we always want what we never get , ". THANK. YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@jimbo boogie lol yah it was a hard time, but I'm good. His music helped that's all.
I never really noticed what a devastatingly handsome man he is.
Oh hes always been handsome. Still handsome.
I’m a dude, so I can’t admit to that
@@kevinbell1364 Then be more secure in your sexuality, you sound very 1996. Fitting for the song :) Duncan's handsome, no biggie to say that as a man
mark janssens not going to open this can of worms. I will say that I am ok with being a “knuckle dragging, stereotype of a overcompensating tough guy”
He should have been cast as Patrick Bateman.....looks just right :)
I was born in 1990.. I listened to 90’s rock, basically music from the 90’s period.. I wonder how was the 90’s or 2000-2006 as an 18 yr old and above cuz music during this time, the lyrics were mostly innocent and about love and so were the movies
How does this song not have more views?!?!? I'm disappointed in society, I heard this song on the radio the other day and unlocked a core memory from my childhood
x2 brother
The 90's. What a beautiful decade musically.
Remembering being so excited when I bought this CD at Borders bookstore in Downtown Palo Alto at the old Varsity Theater. Still have it too.
The 90's has my heart. It's still stuck there. If I could build a time machine, I would go back and live there forever. Best memories, to the best music of that decade... miss it so much......
I know what you mean...my youth. Can't get it back but for a few minutes I feel 18 again.
This song always stings me a little bit, the nostalgic rush I get when I hear it. Beautiful, perfect song...
This piece of emotionally driven art got me through a rough patch at a certain point...thank you Duncan:)
