The mid 90's were something....We dkdnt know how good we had it, and how easy life was. 9/11/01 changed it all....I was a dumb 18 year old old, and didnt realize iT. life, and our society, changed that day..... i SO miss The mid 90's....
The mid-90s were definitely the best part of the decade. Music, fashion, entertainment, were the peak or top tier as gen z likes to say. Ugh, everything was better back then. Everything definitely changed after 9/11. Early to mid 2000's were good imo, but everything post like 2008 was downhill.
Summer 1992 Met my future husband Young, driving around rural roads, long summer days into night, holding hands with a new love, wind blowing thru hair & just not caring how i look, more that i feel incredible at this moment. It's been more than 30 years & yet this song transports me to a time in my life that i wish i was still living. This song represents my young adulthood, being with my love yet feeling more free than i ever have, feeling safe & secure, strong & so frickin' optomistic of life. How was i to anticipate that just 4 years later, my love is murdered, my heart is shattered & I'm left to raise the offspring of our love.....alone. He looks exactly like him. He just turned 30. I held my breath the year he turned 23, so afraid I'd lose him too. Miss you everyday ❤ I thank God for this song & it's ability to take me back in time & feel safe again. Whatever happens will be...
BS story. And even if it is true, quit bragging. I'm not even able to leave my house or look at a woman or talk to one. I am SICK of people like you bragging all the time.
The love of my life introduced me to this song & Toad July 1992. Spent 18yrs together on & off…..and now, September 2024, we’re talking again. He’ll always be my soulmate.
I want this era back! 🙁 The 90s were the last decade of the greatest, most original and creative music with the deepest lyrics. Sure, there are some good musicians today but nothing beats the 90s and 80s. The world wasn't as divided, people got along more. Yes, there was crime, etc. but there is much more hate and anger today than ever. Things were more affordable then too.
There's still good music out there, you just need to know where to find it. Go online and listen to 90.5fm WBER cuz they play THE BEST old and new alternative music. 😎
I came to this country, USA, in 1989. And 34 years came and went in the blink of an eye. Come to God, enjoy your family, make the right choice, and do the right thing. God bless you all.❤❤❤
The 90’s were the last innocent decade. Thankfully, I got to experience it. Kids of today, life is so much harder for y’all, so different, in a bad way. Try and stay innocent for as long as you can. Break away from your phones & social media, that’s the only way to do it. Talk in person, face to face, hang out. Don’t let this crazy, shitty world get you down! 💛
I feel Extremely privileged. Turned 50. I’m a definite Gen-Xer. I’ve lived through the Best times in music EVER. The 1970’s, 1980’s, the 1990’s and early 2000’s. All my youth. Songs like this are SO much better than about anything today
@@jasonbuilt2last 1991-95 was best 4yr period in music history. 80s Alternative/underground was great tho. REM, Cure, DM, NO, Smiths, Husker Du, Pixies, Janes Addiction, Siouxsie and the Banshees
I was 12 years old, riding my moped around my old neighborhood for my paper route before we lost our home to divorce and bankruptcy, and had this song playing in my headphones all the time. Some of my best memories before we had to leave. God bless this song.
Holy shit dude. This song was just making me think of the days I would deliver papers on a moped too. Reading yopur comment made me light up haha. I would always listen to rock radio shows in the morning during my rounds. Sounds like we had a similar childhood.
I was in my early 30's when this came out. It made me feel like a teenager back then. Listening now in my 60's it still makes me feel young. BTW, the music is excellent.
I was also in my 30's when this came out. Didn't really pay much attention to it then, was too busy with other things. Now my grand-daughters think this is pretty cool, and so do I, now...
Every generation has said that with each passing decade lol. The same music we got tired of hearing on the radio every time we switched it over are now the songs we wax nostalgic about in our later years. Guarantee you our folks don’t feel the same way about this music too. I’m not going to suddenly like Drake or Taylor Swift because I got older but my kids will look back in 15 years and tell me “they just don’t make music like they used to anymore” while Anti Hero plays on the oldies station
@@Max-zg2ci Wrong, the past generations of music were great and the artists were very creative and much more diverse than what it is today. Seeing kpop and and rap dominate this generation while being pieces of crap shows how much music has degenerated. The music pretty much represents the current state of things even the current generation of kids are crap and I don't need to guess you're part of this generation .
Dude, sorry, but objectively speaking, today's music is trash. It's occasionally catchy, but never great, never passionate, never deep. It will NOT age well, either. When I heard the Beatles, the Stones, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Queen... as a kid, I thought it was awesome, even if some of it was already 20-30 years old. And it's STILL awesome today. @@Max-zg2ci
There's just something about this song that soars! The way the harmonies work. The way the organ, guitar, and cymbols work together, and of course the lead vocal.
Ya u got that right a generation with a blank stare listening to ... well I don't know what u would call it maybe programming... but it's not music....
For us who grew up in the 90's the song often serves as a soundtrack to our pivotal life moments-first love, road trips, quiet reflections, bittersweet ache of growing up and carefree moments, capturing a universal yearning for connection and constancy in a world that's always shifting. The song is a time capsule, bringing back memories of personal growth, important life moments, remembering the vibe of the early 90s or simply finding our place in the world.
This song brings back 1992 like nothing else for me especially that summer right before I headed off to college. I just remember that feeling of no longer being a teenager but not quite ready to be an adult yet. I'd give anything to have that blank slate again.
I think of those times myself, like you said, I think and just smile. A calming feeling really, thinking of how things weren't so stressful, not so chaotic. And then the more comedic part of me thinks back to an episode with Kramer preaching "Serenity Now" ; o
Nothing's so loud As hearing when we lie The truth is not kind And you've said, "Neither am I" And the air outside so soft Is saying everything, everything All I want is to feel this way To be this close, to feel the same All I want is to feel this way The evening speaks, I feel it say Nothing's so cold As closing the heart when all we need Is to free the soul But we wouldn't be that brave I know And the air outside so soft Confessing everything, everything All I want is to feel this way To be this close, to feel the same All I want is to feel this way The evening speaks, I feel it say And it won't matter now And whatever happens to me Though the air speaks of all we'll never be It won't trouble me All I want is to feel this way To be this close, to feel the same All I want is to feel this way The evening speaks, I feel it say
ALL I WANT IS TO go back to the 90s and FEEL THIS WAY. 16 years old in high school when this came out, and the biggest stresses were finishing up that homework assignment I put off because I was out with my boys playing ball, add in that pop quiz that I forgot about, and figuring out what I am going to do for the weekend. Good times, good friends, and good music that I will never forget.
God..this song will always remind me of spending summer in the early 90s with my family down in key west Florida It's crazy how music can take you back to a certain memory in your life. Good times, wish I could be a kid again
Get used to it :) The older we get the more we look to the past because the future, well let's just say it will never be as good as the past. Unless death is a joyful experience??
It’s true, youth is wasted on the young. In the 90s we had the best music and the world was our oyster but we didn’t appreciate it. I would give anything to go back to a time where my biggest concerns were trying to pick the 11th free cd from Columbia House and not running out of tape while I was recording a song off the radio that I hadn’t heard in 2 weeks.
+Ernie Velveeta Well this is not typical of 90s music, that was shitpop Beatles wannabee tuneless boyband, poncy brainless boybands and barbie bimbos, all of which couldn't sing, play an instrument or write one meaningful line to save their pointless lives. Plus howling tuneless harpies of crap like Mariah Carey, Gabrielle, Celine Dion, Sheryl Crow etc. That's even before we get to the rap shit and the lieks of 2 Unlimited. No, I only miss the 90s in that some carefree school days (well a few) summer holidays and time of my extreme youth has long gone, PLUS we had aCD market cos the internet and social media were still a few years away before they destroyed the music market AND we got even worse truds to the add to the shit STILL going. AND Madonna STILL isn't fucking dead. No, the 80s had the best all round talent, despite its extreme dodgiiness to letting women stand alone and its xenophobia to Gemrna artists, of which two of them provided the best music to rival the greatest UK artists. But I was way too young for the 80s while it was happening, and would not have liked not having access to later things (not necessarily music) I have now. Nonetheless, music is as dead as shit and has been for past t o decades at the very least. But this guys sings so damned nicely. And the song is so nice too. Where DID they go? Same with Ten Sharp and their only known song 'You'. Yet these days you can't get rid of ANYTHING shit!!!!
+Kyach Distent Err, MAriah Carey/Celine Dion are both very talented singers that can sing well WITHOUT lip-syncing nor auto-tuning. I understand if it's not your taste in music, but to throw them in with the likes of "boybands" and such is a disservice. You also had other great female singers/bands in the 90's like Jewel, Alanis Morissette, The Cranberries, Annie Lennox, Melissa Etheridge, Garbage, No Doubt, etc.
It's NOT music, Pariah Carey has NO talent, beyond an arrogant posturing thinking she's God's flaming gift, all the while doing nothing to justify it with an utter rubbish repertoire of bullshit she calls songs AND one hell of a lousy singing voice. Shrieking, holwing, caterwauling is NOT singing, and all it does is draw attention to just how bad the songs actually are-she just makes them even worse. Some talent that! Annie Lennox is from the 80s so why you';re mentioning her I'll never know. No Doubt are bullshit-she's a shrieking twat in the Madonna mould like most of them. Morissette got better once she learnt to sing after her first album and her songs got better. Jewel I never hear of. The 80s females can't be bettered obviously, but Wilson Phillips, Ace Of Base Cathy Dennis and a few others from the 90s managed it. If the likes of Dion and Carey WERE autotuned, it would be an improvement-knocking out the horror holwing! And again, their songs are shit. Dion managed a couple of good ones, but that was a million yeras ago. My taste in music is to love it. But what followed the 80s to this day is not music, but a dreadful mishmash of what is called "product"-a recycled blurb of nothing refitted for a basic audience completely happy to be easily led and demanding nothing better. And wow what ashit personality that arrogant plastic grinning barbie Craey's got. Clearly Madonna the vile is the nasty bitch's template, when she's not trying to be a white Whitney Houston in the "voice" category! Kim Wilde, Sandra, Kirsty MacColl, Pat Benatar, Voice of the Beehive sisters, Julieanne Regan of All About Eve, Chrissie Hynde, Toyah Willcox, Maggie Reilly, Stevie Nicks, Agnetha and Frida of ABBA and solo wise, Alison Moyet, Sade, Cyndi Lauper, Carol Decker of T'Pau, Laura Branigan, Tracy Tracy of Primitives, Belinda Carlisle, Bangles, Darling Buds, Claudia Brucken, Grace Jones, Deborah Harry, Siobhan Fahey of Shakespears Sister, Aimee Mann of 'Til Tuesday-THESE are the women that matter. We were spoiled in the 80s., though a stupid marketplace didn't appreciate it. Now we're in barbie slut and howling harridan hell, with every song as awful and useless as the last! What a decade we live in-as were the last two. Social media is strongly to blame-but so is the complete dumbing down of talent. Imagine any other job in the world which basically said in the ad-"any unqualified loser with no talent who merely wants to be famous for famous sake can apply!" Wouldn't happen!!
+Kyach Distent I don't know what happened to you to make you hate some people so much. You seem to not be able to separate the music from the person's personality singing it. Madonna might not be the role model for women but both her and Mariah Carey are talented singers with powerful voices that don't need to be auto-tuned to sound good to most people. You never heard of Jewel? Look up her songs, "Who will save your soul," "Foolish games," "You were meant for me," and many more, she was one of the best female singers of the 90's. No Doubt is nothing like Madonna. They were heavily influenced by Ska music, punk, rock, etc. Also gwen is nothing like Madonna in terms of her personality or things, she doesn't run around or try to act "out there," I think you are confusing Lady Gaga with no doubt/Gwen. Also I listed Annie lennox because she had her solo career in the 90's. Why, No More I love yous, etc were great songs from here among others. You realize a lot of good female singers that were around in the 80's were still around in the 90's. Sandra for instance did a lot of the vocals for the band, Enigma, which her husband and her formed in the 90's. They had some great hits like Return to innocence, Sadness, Mea Culpa, Rivers of belief, etc.
I have ears, eyes and am subjected to one piece of bullshit after another, with people spewing out other bullshit about these losers being great. It's called having taste. The person &the twat trying to sing it ARE the same. It's well-known Madogga's been one of the vilest people in existence forever, with a whole host of people trashed in her wake to claw herself up to where she got. POWERFUL?! Her anorexic nasally whine when she's not barking like an inbred hound?! Hello, she's spent all of the 90s and noughties fed through tonnes of machinery to make her half palatable and even THEN it didn't work. She can never find a key to sing in, she's unable to, and has lip-synched live and on TV for decades. Craey has a howling awful screech-her songs are shit, as is she. I won't tell you again.Obviously you're a clone to these losers with no opinion of your own-that's hateful! Carey needs autotuning-anything to turn off that yelling RAAAA!! death squawk of hers that never EVER shuts up. "She don't sing, she follows her hand" said Mark Lamarr, and Toyah said she can't sing. And she can't! Howling ain't singing. Jewel's voice I tend to hear on soundtracks-I'm not saying it's not pleasant, but she's nothing special. On the other hand, how can you know she can sing when three other hags you're defending here so clearly can't. Stefani has a nasty girly shriek and she sounds like a twat. Ska has always been a daft genere of music, but it had it's time in 1980 and has been defunct for decades and what she attyempts is not that. Granted 'Don't Speak' is a good song, but she ruins it with her pointless, repetitive shrieking. Any 80s singer would have done it better. Her solo stuff, bar the gorgeous 'Early Winter' (where she still whines in bits) which sounds like an 80s ballad any great 80s girl could have done, is even worse. 'Underneath It All' would have been fine without the stupid rap. I know full well whst Sandra did-more importantly I have all her solo albums and know what she was doing long before the sad US and UK only accpeted her as part of her then husband's project, but she's been doing better songs than those, and having hits with them in most other countries since 1985. Shares award with the great Kim Wilde for most records/albums/singles sold across Europe through the 80s and 90s. AND Slagdonna knows her-she's been stealing from her songs-among many others-for ages! Yes Annie Lennox was solo in the 90s that makes sense-in fact her solo stuff, while tending to be overlong, tends to be far better than the Eurythmics generally, which Dave Stewart is probably a lot to blame for, but even Annie overdoes a good song with needless voiceovers where she over-enunciates/shows off to know good end and hurls the song into oblivion, but this is far more a feature of the Eurtythmics horrors-they did some terrible tunes, but her solo stuff I generally like, and it's sung a lot better, though 'Love Song For Vampire' is terribly boring and 'Walking On Broken Glass' sounds awfully dated for a 1992 tune, but still listenable.
I just started crying while listening to the song I was 16 when the song came out and now I'm 47 my brother used to listen to this with me he was 10 then, he has since had a stroke and is paralyzed on half his body I would give anything first has to go back or maybe it's just that I just love that time I know what you mean about the chest exploding
Man, I miss music being mixed this way. Not only is this a great performance artistically, but the mix very well done. Lots of detailed transients that give it a lot of character, instruments spread across the spectrum, beautiful reverb that rings without muddying it up, and room for the louder parts to build excitement. So many people don't realize that a lot of that "magic" quality of older music (1995 and earlier) is partly due to the mixing practices, where leaving enough headroom allowed it to come through. A true joy to listen to.
you mean you don't like applying broad compression over the ENTIRE mix, squashing all the dynamics and repressing harmonics, and then slamming the mix through a hard limiter set at 0db??? ;)
***** They actually released an album in 2013 called New Constellation. Unfortunately, it has fallen victim to the bad mixing practices of today (very squashed microdynamics) so it's a bit stuffier sounding than these early 90s songs. That doesn't mean you can't like the songs artistically speaking, of course.
You are so right. After 2000, it took less than five years for music to nosedive and the creativity to crash. I don’t even listen to the radio anymore other than classic radio that features stuff like this tune.
@@retluoc your loss. Tons of great bands today. The War on Drugs comes to mind. Heartfelt and honest. Real emotion and talent Recommended albums: Lost in the Dream A Deeper Understanding
..what I wouldn't give to go back in time to the year this came out and relive the greatest decade ever.. I've seen them multiple times and actually met them twice.. I miss the 90's but what I truly miss is youth 😊
The 90's has a lot more in common with the 70's than lots realize. I came of age in the 70's, then came the uptight Reagan 80's A nightmare unless you were white, moneyed, and greedy, heterosexual, Republican, etc. The 90's was a return of a lot of the counterculture ethos I grew up with in the 60's 70's....
Kim Crowell the 90s were cool but I'm glad to live in 2017 2017 has more acceptance peace and less ignorance I'm not saying that the 90s were ignorant I'm just saying that 2017 has more acceptance of the LGBT community and the different races communities and 2017 has such a great style of clothing we have bomber jackets dad hats chokers etc... all types of stuff from the 80s and 90s just more touched up to make better 2017 is a great year and when I'm old and my kids want to know what it was like for me in 2017 I'm gonna tell them that it was the best and I'm gonna tell my kids that even though 2017 was my future and youth they are the new future and youth
Pure Pop. In the highest form it can ever attain. It's all here. The music, the words and that amazing melody throughout the entire song. And then there's his voice. He sings like he's right next to you. I guess that's called magic. Thirty years later it still sounds brand new. Wonderful job Toad.
Pure pop? Nuh-uh. Alternative Pop. But anyway...... I remember waiting at Incredible Universe for Dulcinea to be released,....... And at 12:01 AM on a Tuesday morning in 1994.......I was a happy and stoned 21 yro with Toad's brand new CD in hand. And couldn't get back to my 1991 Honda CRX quick enough!! And now..... just some middle aged man commenting about Toad The Wet Sprocket to a fellow, faceless, person. I was happy at the beginning of this comment.... And somehow it took a dark turn 😀
@@SMELLGOODER I just watched an interview of them . They started as an indie label and always thought of themselves so but their music started to become popular and recognized as alternative which they don’t completely agree with. But they also talked about a few of their songs and I think this is one, that are very pop Sounding. I think even went on pop charts . I’ve always thought of them as alternative but I did meet them and they just have an indie feel to their look and personality and music. Like a free spirit that doesn’t have to fit into a box.
@@andreaberryman5354 Check out Ren’s take on Bittersweet Symphony - start with the video, not the live performance. Then watch Hi Ren. Then come back here and help me tell everyone that there are still creative people making incredible music today. ❤
This is what pure acceptance sounds like. I can say without a doubt this is the happiest song I’ve ever heard and it somehow gets more real and bittersweet, yet pure with each listen. Wow. ❤
Who remembers being in their fan club? I signed up in the late 80s at a tiny club where there were like 20 patrons. After that, I got a handwritten holiday card from them forever, it seems. Bands just don't do that stuff anymore. Love Toad! Saw them two summers ago and they still amazed me. I was moved to tears, as they are a huge part of the soundtrack of my youth. 💗
I'm more of a grunge guy, but even the pop songs in the 90s were bangers. Everything is about money , sex, and fame now. You heard this guys soul in this song.
Even heartbreak can be beautiful when it's written like this: "Nothing's so cold as closing the heart when all we need Is to free the soul... but we wouldn't be that brave I know And the air outside so soft, confessing everything... Everything"
Nothing's so loud As hearing when we lie The truth is not kind And you've said neither am I But the air outside so soft Is saying everything Everything All I want is to feel this way To be this close, to feel the same All I want is to feel this way The evening speaks, hear it say Nothing's so cold As closing the heart when all we need Is to free the soul But we wouldn't be that brave I know And the air outside so soft, Confessing everything Everything All I want is to feel this way To be this close to feel the same All I want is to feel this way The evening speaks, I feel it say And it won't matter now Whatever happens will be Though the air speaks of all we'll never be It won't trouble me All I want is to feel this way To be this close to feel the same All I want is to feel this way The evening speaks, I feel it say And it feels so close Let it take me in Let it hold me so I can feel it say
I've noticed though that _lots_ of places in general actually tend to play older songs from the 80s and 90s a lot more often than current songs. Which is just sad because it tells you more than anything else just how bad today's songs really are.
Rode around in my bike along the beaches of Salvador, Brazil back in '91 and early '92 listening to this song... Whood'a thunk? 24 years later, I MET TOAD THE WET SPROCKET here in my new home in Colorado! OMG! I saw 'em at the Mish. If you know the Mish, like this comment!
In 1975, I drove around in a brand new 1975 Chevy Monte Carlo convertible ( I was 23)with a factory installed 8-track cassette player with ELO blasting away . Thought I was so cool. Turns out, I was ! I now have a 40 yr old son who got into music while in college and he discovered ELO sounds better loud.
When I hear this song it makes me happy and sad at the same time. It reminds me of the best days we have during the 90's. We are so lucky to live those beautiful years and generation. I miss you so much 90's
Remember listening to this when I was in the 90's and thinking "Man I can't wait until I'm an adult, can do what I want!" Boy, was I wrong, now all I want is to go back to those times :(.
Am I the only person that hears this song playing often in the background while out shopping, eating, etc? It's always a treat to shop to this song lol.
I was age 7-17 during the 90s. You are so, so right about that. Unbelievably amazing memories from a time that unfortunately will likely never be replicated.
@@charlesswitzer8378 Those after you will feel the same way in their own time stretch. For most of us, it is the time of our lives when we are on the edge of teendom and often into the 20’s. For me and my compatriots it was the late 60’s (Woodstock era) on past college past disco to punk to electronica and so on. I’ve put that on simmer and now pursue young up and coming groups much to my belief that there is STILL great music out there. These days it is just harder to do. Like drinking from a fire hose on the music and social media sites. The base has broadened past where record company execs controlled what would be heard simply because there was no other competing outlet. There are many great groups lost along the way. I’ll give you one to check out. Fanny, an all woman rock band (made up of a few who were unlikely minorities to boot!) in the music dominated by men in the 60’s and early 70’s that could write AND could play. Seek out their documentary. Today, they’d be at the forefront in any streaming format, etc.
@@ChillinDylan When something is underated it does not mean it does not have fans. It just means it wasn't it wasn't as widely appreciated as other things that have maintained a massive following over the years. Yes, this band had a few hits back in the 90's but they kind of faded into the background after a while. Doesn't mean they didn't have fans or that there music wasn't great, but they aren't as recognized as some other bands that people still talk about today.
I took a nap this afternoon and for some reason this song was playing in my dream and it has been stuck in my head ever since. I had to come and listen to it.
This is one of my favorite songs ever! I remember driving to Yosemite to have a weekend to myself. My Mom took care of my kids, and I played it over and over over again on the cassette tape singing at the top of my lungs. I was in my late 30s, and I'm 64 now. They are playing next month at The Hopmonk Tavern in Novato Ca for an outdoor barbecue. I don't have much money, so I don't know if I can afford it, but I'm going to try ❤
Right when the music starts it takes you right back to 1992. I was in middle school and I had the cassette tape. We didn’t know how good we had it growing up in the 90s with the best music. #classof98
It's been almost 20 years since I last found this. I wanted eternal youth. I remember summer and life in bloom. Today, spring and I was playing with Great Pyrenees pup named Anjers. I'd love to feel either way, always. Goodtimes are timeless.
Wow, think about how competitive music was in the 90’s.. so so many great bands and amazing songs.. to come up with a hit like this is a great accomplishment..
It’s crazy how music sometimes finds you, I do valet overnight and a guest came back late like 3-4 am and as they got out I started taking there car down and this song was playing and I didn’t have my phone on me to shazzam it and so I just had to remember the “all I want is to feel this way” and it’s been so heavy in my rotation these past 2-3 months since then 😂
![Toad the Wet Sprocket - All I Want [5-11-92]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/fe2G4h13wiE/mqdefault.jpg)
Toad was a shinning light in the 90's .
The mid 90's were something....We dkdnt know how good we had it, and how easy life was.
9/11/01 changed it all....I was a dumb 18 year old old, and didnt realize iT. life, and our society, changed that day..... i SO miss The mid 90's....
I have said the same thing for years, in a blink of an eye this amazing era was over.
The mid-90s were definitely the best part of the decade. Music, fashion, entertainment, were the peak or top tier as gen z likes to say. Ugh, everything was better back then. Everything definitely changed after 9/11. Early to mid 2000's were good imo, but everything post like 2008 was downhill.
But this song is early 90s
My mom adored this track. It seemed to make her feel young again. Now, 28 years after her death, it makes me feel young again, too.
Keep your chin up
Mine's been gone for almost 10 years, but mom said 'Life goes on with or without us'.
And it does.
May she rest in peace. Blessings 😇
R.I.P to your mom, my mom passed away on 29th july 2023, stay strong ❤
May the universe show you peace and grace, losing your mom is hard. ❤🎉
Summer 1992
Met my future husband
Young, driving around rural roads, long summer days into night, holding hands with a new love, wind blowing thru hair & just not caring how i look, more that i feel incredible at this moment.
It's been more than 30 years & yet this song transports me to a time in my life that i wish i was still living. This song represents my young adulthood, being with my love yet feeling more free than i ever have, feeling safe & secure, strong & so frickin' optomistic of life.
How was i to anticipate that just 4 years later, my love is murdered, my heart is shattered & I'm left to raise the offspring of our love.....alone.
He looks exactly like him. He just turned 30. I held my breath the year he turned 23, so afraid I'd lose him too.
Miss you everyday ❤
I thank God for this song & it's ability to take me back in time & feel safe again.
Whatever happens will be...
Stay strong and keep on keeping on !!! You have done well.
I'm not crying it's something in my eyes😢
Geil: 1992 und 1993❤❤❤❤
BS story. And even if it is true, quit bragging. I'm not even able to leave my house or look at a woman or talk to one. I am SICK of people like you bragging all the time.
The love of my life introduced me to this song & Toad July 1992. Spent 18yrs together on & off…..and now, September 2024, we’re talking again. He’ll always be my soulmate.
I want this era back! 🙁 The 90s were the last decade of the greatest, most original and creative music with the deepest lyrics. Sure, there are some good musicians today but nothing beats the 90s and 80s. The world wasn't as divided, people got along more. Yes, there was crime, etc. but there is much more hate and anger today than ever. Things were more affordable then too.
The divide is orchestrated by our controllers. They need it to implement their plan of getting rid of what they call; the useless eaters.
Me too!!!
There's still good music out there, you just need to know where to find it. Go online and listen to 90.5fm WBER cuz they play THE BEST old and new alternative music. 😎
❤
Same😢 social media has destroyed originality.
I came to this country, USA, in 1989. And 34 years came and went in the blink of an eye.
Come to God, enjoy your family, make the right choice, and do the right thing. God bless you all.❤❤❤
Hell yeah. 🇺🇸
L❤VE this!!!!
I miss the 90s. 😢 We’ll never have this time ever again.
I know... We didn't know how lucky we were
I was a teenager in the 90's until 1995. I fucking hated it!!!
I miss it so bad 😢
Thanks for making my depression even worse.
Wish we could go back, the world has gone to hell
The 90’s were the last innocent decade. Thankfully, I got to experience it. Kids of today, life is so much harder for y’all, so different, in a bad way. Try and stay innocent for as long as you can. Break away from your phones & social media, that’s the only way to do it. Talk in person, face to face, hang out. Don’t let this crazy, shitty world get you down! 💛
Nothing but programmed robots with no memories of their own. And not to mention that prevalent tarantula pubes hair style on all these male teenagers
Year 82 as well! I have to agree... last best years
Crazy life. By toad the wet spro ket is one of my all time favorite songs
Innocent? Lmfao I grew up in the 80s and partially the 90s. We were FAR from innocent
@@johnstrika9170 after 9/11 happened everyone hardened and we haven’t recovered since.
Those of us that are a part of Generation X had the two Best decades of music, the 1980's and the 1990's!
I'd give up the rest of myself life to relive 84 to 97. I hate this world we're in now.
Nope.....I'd say the 70s and 90's. But the 80s were damn close.
YES we most certainly did, what the hell happen since 2000
Don't forget about the 70s, the 70s, 80s and 90s rocked
Not gonna lie, I envy you. Wish I was Gen X
This chorus still gives me goosebumps. The harmonies are over the top, gorgeous.
Yup. They're luxe
It’s such a pretty song
The bridge of the song gives me goosebumps ("And the air outside so soft...."), but not so much the chorus ("All I want is to feel this way...")
I'm an 80s guy, but damn...
I feel Extremely privileged. Turned 50. I’m a definite Gen-Xer. I’ve lived through the Best times in music EVER. The 1970’s, 1980’s, the 1990’s and early 2000’s. All my youth. Songs like this are SO much better than about anything today
If you live in the UK, all this music plays in pubs on a regular basis. Not sure if by request.
For sure.

This song feels so f**king human. It speaks your heart out.
I was 12 years old, riding my moped around my old neighborhood for my paper route before we lost our home to divorce and bankruptcy, and had this song playing in my headphones all the time. Some of my best memories before we had to leave. God bless this song.
Shit happens.
They are not just memories….
soul memories
The moped days of the late 80s and early 90s! Awesome time to ride and listen to great music!
I was 12 yrs old too. #turnbacktime
Holy shit dude. This song was just making me think of the days I would deliver papers on a moped too. Reading yopur comment made me light up haha. I would always listen to rock radio shows in the morning during my rounds. Sounds like we had a similar childhood.
I was in my early 30's when this came out. It made me feel like a teenager back then. Listening now in my 60's it still makes me feel young. BTW, the music is excellent.
Such an incredible song. I’ll revisit it til the day I die
I was a 12 year old kid when this came out. Now my 5 year old loves it!
I was also in my 30's when this came out. Didn't really pay much attention to it then, was too busy with other things. Now my grand-daughters think this is pretty cool, and so do I, now...
Ya me too abouts we just saw them summer tho
Was in my ‘40s, but this song brings back memories. Still great music!
This song still gets me just as it did in the 90’s.
Same here
Yeah this jam totally rocked the 90s. Great decade for music.
That's two of us!!! Reminds me of 90210

@@stevenarevalo9101 FOH
The older I get, the more I appreciate this music. They don't make music like this anymore.
💯
Every generation has said that with each passing decade lol. The same music we got tired of hearing on the radio every time we switched it over are now the songs we wax nostalgic about in our later years. Guarantee you our folks don’t feel the same way about this music too. I’m not going to suddenly like Drake or Taylor Swift because I got older but my kids will look back in 15 years and tell me “they just don’t make music like they used to anymore” while Anti Hero plays on the oldies station
@@Max-zg2ci Wrong, the past generations of music were great and the artists were very creative and much more diverse than what it is today. Seeing kpop and and rap dominate this generation while being pieces of crap shows how much music has degenerated. The music pretty much represents the current state of things even the current generation of kids are crap and I don't need to guess you're part of this generation .
Check out their "New Constellation" album from 2013. It's as every bit as good.
Dude, sorry, but objectively speaking, today's music is trash. It's occasionally catchy, but never great, never passionate, never deep. It will NOT age well, either. When I heard the Beatles, the Stones, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Queen... as a kid, I thought it was awesome, even if some of it was already 20-30 years old. And it's STILL awesome today. @@Max-zg2ci
a true masterpiece in my opinion. these artists are criminally under rated. they deserved more respect.
Most underrated voices of all time...
There's just something about this song that soars! The way the harmonies work. The way the organ, guitar, and cymbols work together, and of course the lead vocal.
Mastered and mixed so well, i wish we stopped compressing the shit out of songs
@@entropy8000 yeah, I have to agree as a 14 year old I hate compressed crap.
And I have yet to hear the SOUND in this song duplicated,dont think I will be
That early 90s 'dream-pop'.
The melodic side of alternative rock....like Candlebox or Sophie B Hawkins.
It makes people feel good. :)
Can't believe this song is already 30 years old. Still gorgeous. Way better than what we have now.
Ya u got that right a generation with a blank stare listening to ... well I don't know what u would call it maybe programming... but it's not music....
Every generation says this.
the music of today is garbage. no originality , creativity,, only repetitious trash from people who cant sing or play an instrument.
Right?!? Timeless & great!!!
@@joechapman2981 Are you really about to call what "this generation" is listening to/making "not music"? You obviously haven't heard much of it.
For us who grew up in the 90's the song often serves as a soundtrack to our pivotal life moments-first love, road trips, quiet reflections, bittersweet ache of growing up and carefree moments, capturing a universal yearning for connection and constancy in a world that's always shifting. The song is a time capsule, bringing back memories of personal growth, important life moments, remembering the vibe of the early 90s or simply finding our place in the world.
This song brings back 1992 like nothing else for me especially that summer right before I headed off to college. I just remember that feeling of no longer being a teenager but not quite ready to be an adult yet. I'd give anything to have that blank slate again.
I was a year away from graduation. Can we go back to those days?
I think of those times myself, like you said, I think and just smile. A calming feeling really, thinking of how things weren't so stressful, not so chaotic. And then the more comedic part of me thinks back to an episode with Kramer preaching "Serenity Now" ; o
Seinfeld
You could, just runaway ; )
First heard this around mid September 1992 in Chicago
Wow. 29 years went by to fast
Nothing's so loud
As hearing when we lie
The truth is not kind
And you've said, "Neither am I"
And the air outside so soft
Is saying everything, everything
All I want is to feel this way
To be this close, to feel the same
All I want is to feel this way
The evening speaks, I feel it say
Nothing's so cold
As closing the heart when all we need
Is to free the soul
But we wouldn't be that brave I know
And the air outside so soft
Confessing everything, everything
All I want is to feel this way
To be this close, to feel the same
All I want is to feel this way
The evening speaks, I feel it say
And it won't matter now
And whatever happens to me
Though the air speaks of all we'll never be
It won't trouble me
All I want is to feel this way
To be this close, to feel the same
All I want is to feel this way
The evening speaks, I feel it say
Thanks for this!
Thank you!!

ALL I WANT IS TO go back to the 90s and FEEL THIS WAY. 16 years old in high school when this came out, and the biggest stresses were finishing up that homework assignment I put off because I was out with my boys playing ball, add in that pop quiz that I forgot about, and figuring out what I am going to do for the weekend. Good times, good friends, and good music that I will never forget.
Me too! 16 then too!!
God..this song will always remind me of spending summer in the early 90s with my family down in key west Florida
It's crazy how music can take you back to a certain memory in your life. Good times, wish I could be a kid again
You're SO RIGHT.
Get used to it :) The older we get the more we look to the past because the future, well let's just say it will never be as good as the past. Unless death is a joyful experience??
that's what music is supposed to do
Lol.
Dumb fuck
This song will always remind me of coming of age, and all it entails. Of asking myself "There's no going back to school in Sept. NOW what?"
It’s true, youth is wasted on the young. In the 90s we had the best music and the world was our oyster but we didn’t appreciate it. I would give anything to go back to a time where my biggest concerns were trying to pick the 11th free cd from Columbia House and not running out of tape while I was recording a song off the radio that I hadn’t heard in 2 weeks.
I still owe Columbia House for my last batch of CD’s….since 96. Haha I totally agree with you. I’ll go back with you bro.
Cute. And same.
Amen say it louder for those in the back….
Yes indeed.
Dude you nailed it
This song is 33 years old now, and I`m 58. Wild.
This is such a great song.
I miss the 90's so damned much.
+Ernie Velveeta Well this is not typical of 90s music, that was shitpop Beatles wannabee tuneless boyband, poncy brainless boybands and barbie bimbos, all of which couldn't sing, play an instrument or write one meaningful line to save their pointless lives. Plus howling tuneless harpies of crap like Mariah Carey, Gabrielle, Celine Dion, Sheryl Crow etc. That's even before we get to the rap shit and the lieks of 2 Unlimited. No, I only miss the 90s in that some carefree school days (well a few) summer holidays and time of my extreme youth has long gone, PLUS we had aCD market cos the internet and social media were still a few years away before they destroyed the music market AND we got even worse truds to the add to the shit STILL going. AND Madonna STILL isn't fucking dead. No, the 80s had the best all round talent, despite its extreme dodgiiness to letting women stand alone and its xenophobia to Gemrna artists, of which two of them provided the best music to rival the greatest UK artists. But I was way too young for the 80s while it was happening, and would not have liked not having access to later things (not necessarily music) I have now. Nonetheless, music is as dead as shit and has been for past t o decades at the very least.
But this guys sings so damned nicely. And the song is so nice too. Where DID they go? Same with Ten Sharp and their only known song 'You'. Yet these days you can't get rid of ANYTHING shit!!!!
+Kyach Distent Err, MAriah Carey/Celine Dion are both very talented singers that can sing well WITHOUT lip-syncing nor auto-tuning.
I understand if it's not your taste in music, but to throw them in with the likes of "boybands" and such is a disservice.
You also had other great female singers/bands in the 90's like Jewel, Alanis Morissette, The Cranberries, Annie Lennox, Melissa Etheridge, Garbage, No Doubt, etc.
It's NOT music, Pariah Carey has NO talent, beyond an arrogant posturing thinking she's God's flaming gift, all the while doing nothing to justify it with an utter rubbish repertoire of bullshit she calls songs AND one hell of a lousy singing voice. Shrieking, holwing, caterwauling is NOT singing, and all it does is draw attention to just how bad the songs actually are-she just makes them even worse. Some talent that!
Annie Lennox is from the 80s so why you';re mentioning her I'll never know. No Doubt are bullshit-she's a shrieking twat in the Madonna mould like most of them. Morissette got better once she learnt to sing after her first album and her songs got better. Jewel I never hear of. The 80s females can't be bettered obviously, but Wilson Phillips, Ace Of Base Cathy Dennis and a few others from the 90s managed it. If the likes of Dion and Carey WERE autotuned, it would be an improvement-knocking out the horror holwing! And again, their songs are shit. Dion managed a couple of good ones, but that was a million yeras ago. My taste in music is to love it. But what followed the 80s to this day is not music, but a dreadful mishmash of what is called "product"-a recycled blurb of nothing refitted for a basic audience completely happy to be easily led and demanding nothing better. And wow what ashit personality that arrogant plastic grinning barbie Craey's got. Clearly Madonna the vile is the nasty bitch's template, when she's not trying to be a white Whitney Houston in the "voice" category!
Kim Wilde, Sandra, Kirsty MacColl, Pat Benatar, Voice of the Beehive sisters, Julieanne Regan of All About Eve, Chrissie Hynde, Toyah Willcox, Maggie Reilly, Stevie Nicks, Agnetha and Frida of ABBA and solo wise, Alison Moyet, Sade, Cyndi Lauper, Carol Decker of T'Pau, Laura Branigan, Tracy Tracy of Primitives, Belinda Carlisle, Bangles, Darling Buds, Claudia Brucken, Grace Jones, Deborah Harry, Siobhan Fahey of Shakespears Sister, Aimee Mann of 'Til Tuesday-THESE are the women that matter. We were spoiled in the 80s., though a stupid marketplace didn't appreciate it. Now we're in barbie slut and howling harridan hell, with every song as awful and useless as the last!
What a decade we live in-as were the last two. Social media is strongly to blame-but so is the complete dumbing down of talent. Imagine any other job in the world which basically said in the ad-"any unqualified loser with no talent who merely wants to be famous for famous sake can apply!" Wouldn't happen!!
+Kyach Distent I don't know what happened to you to make you hate some people so much. You seem to not be able to separate the music from the person's personality singing it.
Madonna might not be the role model for women but both her and Mariah Carey are talented singers with powerful voices that don't need to be auto-tuned to sound good to most people.
You never heard of Jewel? Look up her songs, "Who will save your soul," "Foolish games," "You were meant for me," and many more, she was one of the best female singers of the 90's.
No Doubt is nothing like Madonna. They were heavily influenced by Ska music, punk, rock, etc. Also gwen is nothing like Madonna in terms of her personality or things, she doesn't run around or try to act "out there," I think you are confusing Lady Gaga with no doubt/Gwen.
Also I listed Annie lennox because she had her solo career in the 90's. Why, No More I love yous, etc were great songs from here among others.
You realize a lot of good female singers that were around in the 80's were still around in the 90's.
Sandra for instance did a lot of the vocals for the band, Enigma, which her husband and her formed in the 90's. They had some great hits like Return to innocence, Sadness, Mea Culpa, Rivers of belief, etc.
I have ears, eyes and am subjected to one piece of bullshit after another, with people spewing out other bullshit about these losers being great. It's called having taste. The person &the twat trying to sing it ARE the same. It's well-known Madogga's been one of the vilest people in existence forever, with a whole host of people trashed in her wake to claw herself up to where she got. POWERFUL?! Her anorexic nasally whine when she's not barking like an inbred hound?! Hello, she's spent all of the 90s and noughties fed through tonnes of machinery to make her half palatable and even THEN it didn't work. She can never find a key to sing in, she's unable to, and has lip-synched live and on TV for decades. Craey has a howling awful screech-her songs are shit, as is she. I won't tell you again.Obviously you're a clone to these losers with no opinion of your own-that's hateful! Carey needs autotuning-anything to turn off that yelling RAAAA!! death squawk of hers that never EVER shuts up. "She don't sing, she follows her hand" said Mark Lamarr, and Toyah said she can't sing. And she can't! Howling ain't singing.
Jewel's voice I tend to hear on soundtracks-I'm not saying it's not pleasant, but she's nothing special. On the other hand, how can you know she can sing when three other hags you're defending here so clearly can't.
Stefani has a nasty girly shriek and she sounds like a twat. Ska has always been a daft genere of music, but it had it's time in 1980 and has been defunct for decades and what she attyempts is not that. Granted 'Don't Speak' is a good song, but she ruins it with her pointless, repetitive shrieking. Any 80s singer would have done it better. Her solo stuff, bar the gorgeous 'Early Winter' (where she still whines in bits) which sounds like an 80s ballad any great 80s girl could have done, is even worse. 'Underneath It All' would have been fine without the stupid rap.
I know full well whst Sandra did-more importantly I have all her solo albums and know what she was doing long before the sad US and UK only accpeted her as part of her then husband's project, but she's been doing better songs than those, and having hits with them in most other countries since 1985. Shares award with the great Kim Wilde for most records/albums/singles sold across Europe through the 80s and 90s. AND Slagdonna knows her-she's been stealing from her songs-among many others-for ages!
Yes Annie Lennox was solo in the 90s that makes sense-in fact her solo stuff, while tending to be overlong, tends to be far better than the Eurythmics generally, which Dave Stewart is probably a lot to blame for, but even Annie overdoes a good song with needless voiceovers where she over-enunciates/shows off to know good end and hurls the song into oblivion, but this is far more a feature of the Eurtythmics horrors-they did some terrible tunes, but her solo stuff I generally like, and it's sung a lot better, though 'Love Song For Vampire' is terribly boring and 'Walking On Broken Glass' sounds awfully dated for a 1992 tune, but still listenable.
This is one of my favorite songs of all time. It's ear candy. Silky voice, catchy hook, upbeat, about love, etc.
Right on. I can't think of any other band that makes me feel the way Toad invariably does. Nothing like them. Such a great song.
I was just trying to explain why I loved this song so much. You hit the nail right on the head. Thank you.
tyty
AGREED :)
Except it is not upbeat. It is about the end of a relationship.
Sometimes the nostalgia is so strong, it feels like my chest will explode. This band got me thru those difficult college years. 😎
I just started crying while listening to the song I was 16 when the song came out and now I'm 47 my brother used to listen to this with me he was 10 then, he has since had a stroke and is paralyzed on half his body I would give anything first has to go back or maybe it's just that I just love that time I know what you mean about the chest exploding

Man, I miss music being mixed this way. Not only is this a great performance artistically, but the mix very well done. Lots of detailed transients that give it a lot of character, instruments spread across the spectrum, beautiful reverb that rings without muddying it up, and room for the louder parts to build excitement. So many people don't realize that a lot of that "magic" quality of older music (1995 and earlier) is partly due to the mixing practices, where leaving enough headroom allowed it to come through. A true joy to listen to.
you mean you don't like applying broad compression over the ENTIRE mix, squashing all the dynamics and repressing harmonics, and then slamming the mix through a hard limiter set at 0db??? ;)
I agree the music was way better in the late 90s compared to now..it's all gone to shit. This song is awesome.
Jenny W fyi, this song came out in the early '90s (not late '90s).
Freakin' Nit It all makes sense now ..
*****
They actually released an album in 2013 called New Constellation. Unfortunately, it has fallen victim to the bad mixing practices of today (very squashed microdynamics) so it's a bit stuffier sounding than these early 90s songs. That doesn't mean you can't like the songs artistically speaking, of course.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written
Agreed. ♥️♥️♥️
One of the most underrated songs of all time.

90s was the last great decade for music.
True. Early 2000s still had some good variety but the 90s was without a doubt the most diverse.
You are so right. After 2000, it took less than five years for music to nosedive and the creativity to crash. I don’t even listen to the radio anymore other than classic radio that features stuff like this tune.

Yes! Couldn't agree with you more!
90's??? The greatest decade was the 70's.. Too bad you missed it.
Mellow mood
The 90's has a lot more in common with the 70's than lots realize. I came of age in the 70's, then came the uptight Reagan 80's A nightmare unless you were white, moneyed, and greedy, heterosexual, Republican, etc. The 90's was a return of a lot of the counterculture ethos I grew up with in the 60's 70's....
Kim Crowell the 90s were cool but I'm glad to live in 2017 2017 has more acceptance peace and less ignorance I'm not saying that the 90s were ignorant I'm just saying that 2017 has more acceptance of the LGBT community and the different races communities and 2017 has such a great style of clothing we have bomber jackets dad hats chokers etc... all types of stuff from the 80s and 90s just more touched up to make better 2017 is a great year and when I'm old and my kids want to know what it was like for me in 2017 I'm gonna tell them that it was the best and I'm gonna tell my kids that even though 2017 was my future and youth they are the new future and youth
Pure Pop. In the highest form it can ever attain. It's all here. The music, the words and that amazing melody throughout the entire song. And then there's his voice. He sings like he's right next to you. I guess that's called magic. Thirty years later it still sounds brand new. Wonderful job Toad.

They started as an indie label and always thought of themselves so but their music started to become popular and recognized as alternative which they don’t completely agree with. But they also talked about a few of their songs and I think this is one, that are very pop Sounding. I think even went on pop charts .

Proof that 1992 had more to rock and roll than just grunge and the leftovers of glam metal. Love this
Thus song perfectly describes that inner peace that we all want to feel.
Who remembers being in their fan club? I signed up in the late 80s at a tiny club where there were like 20 patrons. After that, I got a handwritten holiday card from them forever, it seems. Bands just don't do that stuff anymore. Love Toad! Saw them two summers ago and they still amazed me. I was moved to tears, as they are a huge part of the soundtrack of my youth. 💗

"Nothing's so cold as closing the heart when all we need
Is to free the soul... but we wouldn't be that brave I know
And the air outside so soft, confessing everything...
Everything"
this music triggers the nostalgia in me.
Me too
Yup to happier times!!
This song touches my soul. Timeless classic. Truly a blessing.
Timeless song is correct. I'll listen and replay this song till the day I die.
It sure warms my heart , Absolutely Fantastic song. ❤️❤️
Nothing beats the 90's alternative songs 🥰
Touches your soul and scars it for life. Classic!!
yeah it does bro. Love it
No truer words
Yes idk why
I LOVE his voice. I miss the 90's SO much.
At least you and I arent so old, we cant remember back then ; o I'm with ya, miss them too
Nothing's so loud
As hearing when we lie
The truth is not kind
And you've said neither am I
But the air outside so soft
Is saying everything
Everything
All I want is to feel this way
To be this close, to feel the same
All I want is to feel this way
The evening speaks, hear it say
Nothing's so cold
As closing the heart when all we need
Is to free the soul
But we wouldn't be that brave I know
And the air outside so soft,
Confessing everything
Everything
All I want is to feel this way
To be this close to feel the same
All I want is to feel this way
The evening speaks, I feel it say
And it won't matter now
Whatever happens will be
Though the air speaks of all we'll never be
It won't trouble me
All I want is to feel this way
To be this close to feel the same
All I want is to feel this way
The evening speaks, I feel it say
And it feels so close
Let it take me in
Let it hold me so
I can feel it say
Valentino Valenti Thank you .
"Truth is not kind...and you said neither am I..." LOVE this song
This song lives on today on supermarket radios everywhere.
that makes me feel so old lol. But I'm just glad to say I grew up with this music, and it had a huge impact on me like a lot of others here.
I've noticed though that _lots_ of places in general actually tend to play older songs from the 80s and 90s a lot more often than current songs. Which is just sad because it tells you more than anything else just how bad today's songs really are.
Used to ride around town in my 64 VW Beetle in the early 90s with this turned up. Thought I was so cool. Turns out, I was!
+1
Rode around in my bike along the beaches of Salvador, Brazil back in '91 and early '92 listening to this song... Whood'a thunk? 24 years later, I MET TOAD THE WET SPROCKET here in my new home in Colorado! OMG! I saw 'em at the Mish. If you know the Mish, like this comment!
Agnitiomek Studios when this song come out late 80s or early 90s
In 1975, I drove around in a brand new 1975 Chevy Monte Carlo convertible ( I was 23)with a factory installed 8-track cassette player with ELO blasting away . Thought I was so cool. Turns out, I was ! I now have a 40 yr old son who got into music while in college and he discovered ELO sounds better loud.
no, you are cool! this band was dope
When I hear this song it makes me happy and sad at the same time. It reminds me of the best days we have during the 90's. We are so lucky to live those beautiful years and generation. I miss you so much 90's
Since its release, this has been one of my favorite songs.
Remember listening to this when I was in the 90's and thinking "Man I can't wait until I'm an adult, can do what I want!"
Boy, was I wrong, now all I want is to go back to those times :(.
Best comment I've ever read. You are so right. Being an adult sucks, a child / young? The best.
ikr!
man I hear you..... this song brought a rush of memories:)
+gyloir I'm 29. Nothing different.
+gyloir you're not kidding, i miss the 90's
Am I the only person that hears this song playing often in the background while out shopping, eating, etc? It's always a treat to shop to this song lol.
Yes, lol, I hear it too in the mall from time to time. I heard it in Walmart a few weeks ago. Good times.
No, I heard it while Shopping last night.
I heard it at Perkins in West Chester Township, Ohio.
just heard it yesterday at El Cortex casino Vegas lol
Dude, instead of telling us, tell her you have a crush on her. Time to man up! Channel your inner Toad the Wet Sprocket.
“Whatever happens will be!” This awesome song helped me out of depression when I was younger. It’s still means so much to me.
It's helping me through mine. "The air speaks of all we'll never be. It won't bother me."
God the nostalgia.. I really miss the 90s, such a great time to be young and alive 🙏 Hope everyone out there is doing well :)
I was age 7-17 during the 90s. You are so, so right about that. Unbelievably amazing memories from a time that unfortunately will likely never be replicated.
@@charlesswitzer8378 Those after you will feel the same way in their own time stretch. For most of us, it is the time of our lives when we are on the edge of teendom and often into the 20’s. For me and my compatriots it was the late 60’s (Woodstock era) on past college past disco to punk to electronica and so on. I’ve put that on simmer and now pursue young up and coming groups much to my belief that there is STILL great music out there. These days it is just harder to do. Like drinking from a fire hose on the music and social media sites. The base has broadened past where record company execs controlled what would be heard simply because there was no other competing outlet. There are many great groups lost along the way. I’ll give you one to check out. Fanny, an all woman rock band (made up of a few who were unlikely minorities to boot!) in the music dominated by men in the 60’s and early 70’s that could write AND could play. Seek out their documentary. Today, they’d be at the forefront in any streaming format, etc.
Best Era
You must’ve just gotten out of a 3 year coma if you think people are doing okay 🤪
Truly an underrated band. Their music still resonates today!
Mandi mae I love this song
They were underrated like srabbing westward in their genre
@@joshketchpaw745 q
There is no such thing. If a band is really good, they will get fans. "Underrated"? By whom?
@@ChillinDylan When something is underated it does not mean it does not have fans. It just means it wasn't it wasn't as widely appreciated as other things that have maintained a massive following over the years. Yes, this band had a few hits back in the 90's but they kind of faded into the background after a while. Doesn't mean they didn't have fans or that there music wasn't great, but they aren't as recognized as some other bands that people still talk about today.
Makes me yearn for the 90s and my youth in an indescribable way...
This song takes me back to the 90's immediately. As soon as it starts, I stop what I'm doing, and listen...
Me too... 😻
As any amazing legendary jam from one of the greatest decades in music ever would expect you too :D
I adore this band. They were my go-to in the 90s. Thoughtful, meaningful lyrics, great instruments, gorgeous melodies. Damn, I miss those days.
Strange song
Sad that we can't go back to the 90's.
80s we’re even better
@@dreamsessionsphotography2728 I was too young to remember.
IF WE COULD ONLY GO BACK IN TIME AND GET THAT STUPID TIME STONE FROM THANOS 😅
@@dreamsessionsphotography2728 I'll buy that for a dollar
I love that I'm an 80's kid who grew up in the 90's! This song is, and will always be, timeless though!
I love metal, but when I hear this song on JACK F.M. at work, it holds a dear spot in my heart.
Me too
Danny Jingu amen my friend!
Danny Jingu same here
Agreed. Sounds of youth and summer. Oh, God, where did it go?
Yea dude I'm a metal head also but there's something so cool about bands like these that just wrote great songs.
this song got me through some hard times when i was an opiate addict.
glad im clean now, it was quite the journey to get here.
I took a nap this afternoon and for some reason this song was playing in my dream and it has been stuck in my head ever since. I had to come and listen to it.
I love this song
Angula Bendlin mine too
Same here.
I love this song too. I think one of the first times I heard this song I was 5-8 years old, still listening at age 19.
what a profound song makes me wanna go back in time when things were simpler
A great tour would be Toad the Wet Sprocket and the Gin Blossoms....Oh yeah !!
I know right!
Yeah, that would be a perfect combo. Maybe throw some Collective Soul on also.
joe shmoe GOTTA throw Big Head Todd & the Monsters in that
Saw toad with counting crows last fall awesome show
Gin this Fri, toad next wed
I grew up in the sixties, but I have always maintained that music from the 90s was just as good as the traditional "classic" rock of the sixties.
One of my favorite songs.The 90’s was a very emotional era for me and a lot of people.
Toad makes me cry nearly every time. This music instantly takes me back to when I was a kid and the future was bright and hopeful.
Literally my favorite song ever. I could listen to it a hundred times in a row and not get tired of it
same to me... when i hear this song i need to put 5 or 6 times...
Ditto
yup
Same
Agreed
Ageless song. Born in 76 I got to appreciate a lot of great music. I always found great music in all types of music
This is one of my favorite songs ever! I remember driving to Yosemite to have a weekend to myself. My Mom took care of my kids, and I played it over and over over again on the cassette tape singing at the top of my lungs. I was in my late 30s, and I'm 64 now. They are playing next month at The Hopmonk Tavern in Novato Ca for an outdoor barbecue. I don't have much money, so I don't know if I can afford it, but I'm going to try ❤
Me too
I miss the 90s so bad right now.
Jaimelyn Gray me too!
Me too
mee too
80's too!!
Same. I want to go back.
One of those amazing 90s songs that sticks out from the others. This song is pretty magical ✨️
Right when the music starts it takes you right back to 1992. I was in middle school and I had the cassette tape. We didn’t know how good we had it growing up in the 90s with the best music. #classof98
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written... Almost transcendental
Something about this song just pulls you in. Every time I hear it, memories come flooding back.
One of the most underrated bands.....Everything they did was great
One of the best songs I’ve ever heard
One of my late brother's favorite songs.
This song is golden. I don't remember when I first heard this but hearing this again after a very long time feels so good.
It's been almost 20 years since I last found this. I wanted eternal youth. I remember summer and life in bloom. Today, spring and I was playing with Great Pyrenees pup named Anjers. I'd love to feel either way, always. Goodtimes are timeless.
One of my favorite songs of the 90s! The vocals, the melody and lyrics.....what an awesome song....brought so many half forgotten memories back.
I feel like this song is a perfect combination of an 80s and 90s feel, such an awesome song
that sums it up pretty good!
Yeah, it’s like an 80’s song with a younger, more 90’s voice
SuperBrandeaux I was just thinking that too!!!
I heard this song for the first time today on Sirius 90's on 9 and really liked it because it reminded me of the 80's sound haha
One of the best 90s songs out there!
Wow, think about how competitive music was in the 90’s.. so so many great bands and amazing songs.. to come up with a hit like this is a great accomplishment..
I used to run to this album back in college. I'm not a runnner, but with this song in my ear I could go forever. Love Toad Forever! 🥰😍🥰
Great voice, beautiful song. A classic that deserves more respect.
Me too! I wanted to be grown up & be on my own thinking it would be great, boy was I ever wrong.
Ain't that the truth. if I knew then what I know now. And still, even after all the time that has passed, all I want is to feel this way.
👍👌❤️
Never gets old. Never!
Rich As F*ck ❣️
It’s crazy how music sometimes finds you, I do valet overnight and a guest came back late like 3-4 am and as they got out I started taking there car down and this song was playing and I didn’t have my phone on me to shazzam it and so I just had to remember the “all I want is to feel this way” and it’s been so heavy in my rotation these past 2-3 months since then 😂
Me too bro, but this time I heard playing it on a cruise of all places!..😂
Probably one of the best bands of the 90s.
