When this song came out I had just graduated from college and I was waiting tables at the Cheesecake Factory. I didn’t know it at the time, but those were the best years of my life even though they seemed like the worst at the time.
Saying that I wanted to be a full fledged adult was the stupidest thing I ever said. I miss my childhood home, my friends, my weekends, and relatives who have past.
@@SnakePlissken-gk7ix If you are still young, enjoy your life NOW; or else you will be looking back wondering why you didn't, same as when you got out of school. Trust me.
to my fellow 90's kids, i know you are singing to this and remember the awesome moments during the 2000's. we might be at our 30's now but this era will always be memorable to us
Same here my best friend since I was 15 just committed suicide 3 days ago along with her 2 beautiful children and this song come on at the end I just broke down 😢😢💔that’s all she wanted was somebody who cared😢😢I’m so heartbroken this song just got me in tears😢😢💔💔 #ForeverDiamond💕✨
As a person born in the same year (about 9 months after this song came out), I really enjoy listening to it. I've first heard it in 2019 and just rediscovered it back in 2022. Still listening to this in 2023. :)
It's the realness of them. When it's a break up song, you can feel the bitterness in the song. If it's like a song calling people out for something, like Complicated by Avril Lavigne, you can feel how upset she is and how much she wants to get through to the person that they don't have to conform to others. And if it's a song like this, Fly by Hillary Duff, Drive by Incubus or The Middle by Jimmy Eat World, it's a positive message to people to believe in yourself and don't let others or self doubt hold you back. I don't hear a lot of new songs that feel real or have good, positive messages like that anymore, and part of the problem imo is that pretty much every Pop song now is produced, back in the 90's and 2000's, especially alt music, they were bands actually coming up with the music, now most pop singers have teams of people (I think some Beyonce song had 30 people writing it... X_X) writing the songs and producing the music for the sole purpose of making money.
Dude this gives me chills. There's something about Michelle Branch that instantly puts me in a nostalgic sad state of mind. Music will never ever sound like this. I'm so glad I grew up in the early 2000's of music.
The reason why early 2000s music hit so hard is because its geniune. Back then artists would write their hearts out and perform at small cafe and bars to their loyal fanbase. Record labels would find them there and want to sell their music.
Also because of superior melody creation. Artists today cannot create melodies like this anymore. I notice late 90s and early 2000s all have the same melodic texture wheter that is in movies, shows, or video games.
I was 19 when this song came out, now I'm 40, I remember buying this CD and would have this song on repeat. Michelle is so underrated; she didn't get enough credit. Man! I really miss this kind of music, I want to build a time machine, and go back to the early 2000's.
@@cachorro19 - I want to go back to 1-1-1990 and stay away from this political nightmare we're in! Maybe do my best to prevent it?... well, as the decade progresses; I was out of high school when it ended.
@@chrisrj9871 i dont know what you mean but maybe you are in your early 50s if you are from highschool 1990 In my case im still in my 30s but I really wish to go back early 2000s, turning back young again but saving my same memories, experience and intelligence
I wish I could like all these comments. I love that I can stumble upon songs like this and cry tears of nostalgia and just go back to the moments of my freshman year
She wasn't underrated though-- The Spirit Room was a massive hit both critically and commercially. She just didn't put out anything as big afterward and as a result faded from prevalence. It happens.
She was huge while she released the 1st and 2nd album with warner. She was even bigger when she collaborated with Santana twice... she was never underrated.
Its October 30, 2024 and im 40. I just finished watching TIME CUT on Netflix and the songs on the film just made me feel so happy inside. Good times! By the way, im using my husbands account 😂😂😅
Same here, I thought that 2000s would always be the top and the most popular thing... wow, after almost 20 years, it is still the top, but.. it'll never be the same....
A lot of y'all are really reminiscing in the comment section,, I wasn't even born yet. I'm only 16 and I'm juST finding Michelle Branch. I'm obsessed with her music and she inspires me as a guitarist, so for everyone sad about this era being gone, just know there's a teenage girl trying to keep it alive :)
Nice! Keep it going! I just started college when Michelle hit the scene so the parties I went to all had her, Nickleback, Nelly, Usher, etc. playing. The music that played while you were having the time of your life really sticks with you. Good luck on your journey!
The music from this era just hits different. It’s this amazingly beautiful blend of joy, peace, and bittersweet acceptance. I don’t know if that makes sense but it’s the only words I can think of to describe how it makes me feel.
Music also really impacts people, and the way they feel. Look at the current generation now : they are so lost... all music they have is dumb, shallow, oversexualized, and it shows in the way they interract with others. I'm glad that I was born in 83 to have known this music era. It helped me a lot in my emotional developpment and that yes, it's ok to feel sad or melancholic sometimes, doesn't make you "boring" or "uninteresting". On the contrary, it gives you depth.
I feel bad for all those people who weren't growing up in the early 2000s. Looking back, it was like experiencing a little bit of magic. The music, the tv shows, the vibe... I miss it.
I was really young during this time but I remember it well and it gives me comforting feelings. Michelle Branch was actually the first 'CD' I got when I was 5 and would listen to it on my CD player on car rides
@@yespls6260 OMG the CD players 😍 where you had to actually bring all the CDs with you just to listen to a song from an album. The change we experienced is incredible.
All You Wanted was released when I was in seventh grade. That was a horrible year for me - bullying, bad grades, and just feeling like I didn't belong. This song helped get me through that year. The chorus especially resonates with me: "If you want to, I can save you/I can take you away from here/So lonely inside, so busy out there/And all you wanted was somebody who cares." Michelle, that is all I wanted, and thank you for helping me deal with being a lonely 13-year-old boy who felt nobody cared about him.
Sitting here crying at 3am Wishing I was back in high school listening to this cd in my cd player in between classes! Take me back when there was no care in the world and being a adult was nowhere in my head. ❤
Funny thing is that back in the 2000's, people used to say they missed the 90's. I did the same. :) I suppose it's all about perception and about the music each generation grew up with.
Those were the days. The inequity of smart phones didn't rule people lives and not many people had to be cynical to feel high and mighty. Who you had good vibes with were the people you only dealt with
I’m 43 years old and I think this era Had so much more emotional integrity and thoughtful composition. The lyrics, the meaning, the sound was meant to evoke emotion, and not calculated it was from the heart…
God she was so good. Listening to this reminds of my daughter when she was in grade school. Now she's married with a 7 year boy, my grandson. Brings back so many wonderful feelings raising her❤
All the world should do is get rid of social media. Retain the basic way of communicating like text and call then Viola! society hopefully will self correct.
@@poponess735 steve jobs literally changed the world forever when the iphone was released, that was the start of the end for this era. not necessarily a bad thing that the iphone was made, but damn things changed with social media
I think most of us in our mid-late 30's now would consider this the 'American pie' generation of music.... so much nostalgia in my recommended playlist right now......
The early 2000s: Linkin Park in concert, Smallville on the tube and singers like Vanessa Carlton, Norah Jones and Michelle Branch on the radio. Good times.
The songs of this era all seem to have such a perfect summer feel to them. I'm thankful TH-cam has been created to hold all of them at the tip of our fingertips.
If there’s any song that hits the nail on the head for our generation (kids born in the 1980s) and all the confusion we faced while trying to figure out relationships and unrequited love… it’s this one. Thank you, Michelle Branch.
This song hits me on a truly deep, personal, and spiritual level. My father died April 24 of this year 2023. He was a disabled Navy vet both mentally and physically disabled with a list of medical and mental issues "bipolar and manic depression" among other things, that he had to take a fist full of meds for. It was a Sunday night and I was sitting in his room with him sitting on his bed. I was trying to spend time with him before going too pick my mother up from work. It was always in the back of my mind to try and spend as much time with him as I could not knowing how much time he had left especially after one of his brothers had past away a while prior. Well my mother and I didn't get home until about 11P.M. upon getting inside I went to his room to check on him I quietly opened his door with him snoring. So my mom and I went ahead and went to bed. Next morning I got up to get my dad up for his morning meds too mind him laying on his bed dead, "possibly" from either a seizure or cardiac arrest or combination of the two. I suspect that based on the fact he had just been in the hospital recently prior due to dangerously low sodium levels. Basically I was the last one with him and I was the one who walked in and found him. Now with this song, it hits me deep because when I was in middle school my father and I were riding around out in the country and were parked out in a field. My father had spotted something in the sky. I looked and I saw a large shinning cross shinning through the clouds, and too pile onto it we had the radio going in our viechel and "THIS SONG" just happened to be playing. If you want to I can save you. I myself tried observing the phenomenon and saw what appeared to be a human shaped figure in the center of the cross shape. We thought it was the way the light was shining through the clouds but that it was some kind of reach out from the Lord. P.S. there was an alleged incident with the Roman emperor Constantine who witnessed seeing a cross in the sky with his army before achieving a major military victory and afterwards converted to Christianity and made it the religion of the Roman empire. So I find that pretty intense what my father and I witnessed, and I rest in comfort knowing the time came and he was taken away by the father, maybe what Michelle Branch could be referring to in her song "when the time comes I'll take you away" and also " please can you tell me so I can finally see where you go when your gone." also if you WANT to I can save you. I can take you away from here. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
@@juantorres5670 He was a strong believer in Christ. I am positive he is in the presence of the Father right now no longer equipped with the broken down body and mind he had here in this physical life. My original post was something I strongly felt I needed too put out due too the experience we had together in association with this song. It would be awesome if I could tell Michelle Branch in person.
@@vampirehunter533 That's very unusual indeed. My mother saw the same thing when my father was hospitalized. He now doesn't have that long to live. Something in my head told me to listen to Michelle's song and I cried for the longest time. Something about her songs are so spiritual. I feel like they speak to all of us in many ways. I felt pain in my heart when you mentioned your father passing away. No one should deal with losing a loved one, it is the worst pain in the world. No amount of money can replace someone close to us, none.
2022: I’m about to turn 33 and I constantly remind myself of Michelle Branch’s music now and then. I’ve always liked her music, those vibes and lyrics of hers and I get impressed everytime I realize I remember all the lyrics, especially those from the Hotel Paper album. She’s great and tonight I read about her past and recent years… Michelle, you’re a piece of my youth and always will be! Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹
19 years and several heart breaks later, we're all much older and wiser and hopefully we've all come to the realization that you can't save anyone. You can only save yourself, and finding someone who cares goes both ways. If they're gone, it's on them.
Me…but back in the early mid 2000s I worked in the electronics department at Walmart. And this was one of many videos that would cycle through the display TVs lol. Love this song still.
“So lonely inside. So busy out there.” I love that line! For some reason it has a deep meaning to me. I understand it fully. I love this song! The 2000’s were golden times!
I’ve always heard it as “so know me inside” and it’s so much more hard hitting that the line is “so lonely inside”. Man. Where are lyrics like this now?
Kids who didn't grow up in the 2000's (born after 2001) are kind of already saying this. Especially the ones born in 2003-2006 as far as I see on Twitter
Lucy Edwards, All you Wanted by Michelle Branch was a crying song for me when I was little in the late 2000's and now i'm 14 and this song is still a crying but badass song for me today :)
Been on a binge of early 2000s content recently to invoke my childhood memories. The music, the atmosphere, the people, the movies, everyone was so much more connected back then and technology wasn’t so all consuming. Maybe it’s nostalgia talking, but I believe it’s the last truly great decade. The world is so much different now, and even if I didn’t know it at the time, I’m incredibly thankful I grew up when I did.
Me too. The 90s and early 2000s were the best years of my life by a country mile. Life is okay these days, but we were indeed very fortunate to grow up when we did.
@@AstralFrost I agree. Late 90s to early 00s were the greatest time of my youth as well. No smartphones, no social media, little internet, yet still so much fun to be had and so much good music, television shows and films. Everything was so much livelier and had more charm to it back then, today it all feels rather artificial and soulless.
The 2020's have sucked a$$. I agree with you that was the last great American decade. Even globally, as far as artistic creativity was concerned. I feel blessed to have grown up back then.
This song suddenly popped into my head randomly and, I didnt remember who sang it so I typed it into youtube now im here... I miss the old days man, it was so much simpler back then... To whoever is reading this, dont take life for granted, it moves fast and before you know it you are an adult wishing you could rewind time! 😥 😥 😥
I'm starting to realize that myself. I'm 25, will be 26 in a few months, but now I wanna do somethings that I never did once everything calms down a little bit
@@dragoncaptain678 Im right there with you! I just turned 31 years old January 31st 2021 and I STILL cant believe it... I wanna finally travel and do some things Ive never done when this covid thing is over...
There's a refreshing and nostalgic beauty from the way they produce videos in this era.. this is a great example... who knew you wouldn't wanna go past this era!? Its like you shoot a day in the life of the singer and a little slow mo trick and that's it.. its perfect. Not have to go trigger happy with some software and do gimmick on everything as seen today..
Another gem. I like how her producers layer and build up to the chorus. This is called MUSICIANSHIP... which is lacking nowadays. She also uses this technique on Breathe. She also ends the song with the opening line. I love this song to pieces. So many layers to it.
Yes, you also had great music from the 60s, 70s, 80s as well. Now teenagers are less likely to hear music from those decades as the newer music pushes it away. Also you had the Howard Shore's Lord of the Rings soundtrack
@Cartoons galore 213 So her music is referencing older periods as she gets older? This sounds like the alt-rock that was huge in 1998-2002, from what i've heard of Hotel Paper, it sounds a bit more Alanis & early Matchbox20. So cool
I haven't heard this song in ages, but it started playing randomly at work today, and I did a little happy dance. My happiness quickly turned into gut busting laughter when my boss--an African-American man in his late 40's--came into my office singing this word for word. I gave him a look, and he said "What? There's nothing wrong with Vanessa Carlton or whatever her name was." LOLOL.
HAHAHA, that's almost the same thing that happened to me last night. Only I wasn't the one working. I was eating at Red Robin and I heard the chorus of this song and I slapped my sisters arm and I was like "WE KNOW THIS SONG WHAT IS IT CALLED?!" I fell in love with this song all over again.
Michelle Branch’ songs really hit a spot I didnt even know I had. It takes me back to being carefree, beautiful sunsets, buffy the vampire slayer, and just having fun. When will I get to feel that again?
Yeah I think of era of great music was 98-2003 a little bit of 2004 but by the time 2005 came everything was was becoming wack then we lost our music tv shows like TRL and 106 n park it was all the way over
Oh Michelle Branch, how I miss your songs. Hearing them on the radio when I was a little kid. I miss this time period of music and just life in general back 10-15 years ago. I get so nostalgic hearing this it made me cry haha, a mix of happy/sad/reminiscing tears. Thank you for creating music.
She had a concert in Toronto last year, and although it was mostly her new music, she did play a lot of the old songs too and it was INCREDIBLE; some people were crying. It sucks that she didn't play this song and sand "everywhere" without music, but it was still seriously amazing.
So tue. The 80s, 90s and early to mid-2000s have been and probably will always be the greatest decades for music ever. Sad to see how pop music turned to complete shite in the 2010s. One can only hope that the upcoming 2020s will see some changes in music and make good music return.
Hearing this always brings back the memories of being a middle schooler in bed late at night watching music videos on MTV and having a crush on Michelle Branch... Those were the good days...
I esp remeber avril her and Carlton during this time(Britney Christina was in the middle of their career)...it was the time when you were sorta developing who you are as a person...I was like 12-13 during this time...
True but Michelle Branch released Hopeless Romantic in 2017 and was gone after that. Sure I just wish Michelle Branch stayed but she left the spotlight for a decade due to the Warner vs. Maverick dispute around the time she was with The Wreckers.
I watched it on MYX Philippines way back 2010 or 2011 on their segment "MYX BACKTRAXX". I already fell in love with this song. Gosh! Though it was released on the year 2001, the memories and the song! 😢
Listening to songs from the 2000s always get me in my feelings. I’m 34 now, but this era will always be my favorite!

What up T town!
There’s something special about this song that is difficult to explain!
I started listening to this when i was 15yrs now am 37yrs old is gold
Don't blame ya great music 🎶
I can explain it in two words:
Early 00s
The late 90s and early 2000s songs just hit different.Something magical about them.
Facts
today music is so shit
Yep
Heart.
It's the realness of them.

I miss the 2000's, with Michelle branch, avril lavigne, the calling, LeAnn rimes, simple plan, sum 41, blink 182... It Was the best times
Tons of pop punk, it still exists with many, unfortunately avril lavigne went full on pop
Simple plan was the best.
😌😌😌 early 2000’s was my rock n roll music days 🤘🏼
Alanis Morissette was still around with "Hands Clean", "Everything", & "Crazy"!
"Where you go when you're gone????"
A lot of y'all are really reminiscing in the comment section,, I wasn't even born yet. I'm only 16 and I'm juST finding Michelle Branch. I'm obsessed with her music and she inspires me as a guitarist, so for everyone sad about this era being gone, just know there's a teenage girl trying to keep it alive :)
Nice! Keep it going! I just started college when Michelle hit the scene so the parties I went to all had her, Nickleback, Nelly, Usher, etc. playing. The music that played while you were having the time of your life really sticks with you. Good luck on your journey!
Congrats
Same 😳
@@sigerlion8608 Thank you! :)
@@harpsgalore6584 Thanks :)
The music from this era just hits different. It’s this amazingly beautiful blend of joy, peace, and bittersweet acceptance. I don’t know if that makes sense but it’s the only words I can think of to describe how it makes me feel.
Music also really impacts people, and the way they feel.
Look at the current generation now : they are so lost... all music they have is dumb, shallow, oversexualized, and it shows in the way they interract with others.
I'm glad that I was born in 83 to have known this music era. It helped me a lot in my emotional developpment and that yes, it's ok to feel sad or melancholic sometimes, doesn't make you "boring" or "uninteresting". On the contrary, it gives you depth.
I feel bad for all those people who weren't growing up in the early 2000s. Looking back, it was like experiencing a little bit of magic. The music, the tv shows, the vibe... I miss it.
I was really young during this time but I remember it well and it gives me comforting feelings. Michelle Branch was actually the first 'CD' I got when I was 5 and would listen to it on my CD player on car rides
@@yespls6260 OMG the CD players 😍 where you had to actually bring all the CDs with you just to listen to a song from an album. The change we experienced is incredible.
Well you should feel about is that distance between the gap of your eyes they're just so far apart I'm looking to make glasses for those
Without smart phones!
I'm 59 and grew up in the 70's 80's 90's now the 2000's and still growing.. Love all this music..
All You Wanted was released when I was in seventh grade. That was a horrible year for me - bullying, bad grades, and just feeling like I didn't belong. This song helped get me through that year. The chorus especially resonates with me: "If you want to, I can save you/I can take you away from here/So lonely inside, so busy out there/And all you wanted was somebody who cares." Michelle, that is all I wanted, and thank you for helping me deal with being a lonely 13-year-old boy who felt nobody cared about him.
Im glad you got through those times, remember there is always a brighter side
Rise above and power through.
I was there too. Thank God we made it through. God Bless you. He'll never let you down!😇
Im so sorry !
You're 33 now right ?
Me too.
I'm 61 years old and I can say that I truly appreciate and love this song so much more now than when it first came out! ❤
57 yrs old and have loved it since 2002. Well written, great pop music!
@@colingraham3504You are so right! Rock out and enjoy your music!! 🎵 Best wishes ❤😊
Just saw Time Cut and had to check out this song.
Wow same 😂😂
I watched time cut last week And when I heard this song at the end credits I decided to come here and listen to it 😭
Sitting here crying at 3am Wishing I was back in high school listening to this cd in my cd player in between classes! Take me back when there was no care in the world and being a adult was nowhere in my head. ❤
...all you wanted was someone who cared!...
@@georgeorwell4931 💀💀
and society wasn’t fake back then.
Mee too i was in first year high school. I love this song a fan of MTV
This song saved me from thinking about suicide in 2009.
It's funny how nostalgia makes you cry more than when you're actually sad. I just want to go back and breathe the 2000's air again omg😭
agree I miss the early 2000s!
Evianna Torio
would you please listen to *Tears Clean My Eyes* by ninanile. It’s a song I wrote. I hope you’ll like it and I’d wish you’d share it ☺️
Funny thing is that back in the 2000's, people used to say they missed the 90's. I did the same. :) I suppose it's all about perception and about the music each generation grew up with.
Evianna Torio me too
Evianna Torio I feel you. I listen to this music when I need to go back. Where are we? I miss home 😭
I dunno why it bring so much sadness... It's like there is something in that era that we cannot explain. So much good memories.....
Those were the days. The inequity of smart phones didn't rule people lives and not many people had to be cynical to feel high and mighty. Who you had good vibes with were the people you only dealt with
Nostalgia is very powerful.
yes in between transition
agreed
that is the era of good music and slow internet
I’m 43 years old and I think this era Had so much more emotional integrity and thoughtful composition. The lyrics, the meaning, the sound was meant to evoke emotion, and not calculated it was from the heart…
言語が違っても同じ曲で青春を過ごした同世代がたくさんいて嬉しい
Thanks to TIMECUT for taking me back to 2003 ❤
This song is far, far deeper than anyone generally knows. A genius, perfect song. When the rain falls down I get a little teary-eyed.
It’s about struggling to find compatibility and companionship and being insecure when so many others seem to do so effortlessly.
God she was so good. Listening to this reminds of my daughter when she was in grade school. Now she's married with a 7 year boy, my grandson. Brings back so many wonderful feelings raising her❤
Only 90s/early 2000’s people are here listening and understanding how good we had it. We will never experience such a wonderful era again.
All the world should do is get rid of social media. Retain the basic way of communicating like text and call then Viola! society hopefully will self correct.
@@poponess735 steve jobs literally changed the world forever when the iphone was released, that was the start of the end for this era. not necessarily a bad thing that the iphone was made, but damn things changed with social media
I think most of us in our mid-late 30's now would consider this the 'American pie' generation of music.... so much nostalgia in my recommended playlist right now......
so much nostalgia
True same here! This has to be Michelle Branches core audience but gotta include early 40's too as part of Michelle Branches core audience.
33
We went to high school or college when Branch was a rising star at the time
36 here
"So lonely inside... so busy out there.." love that line :-)
very nice song and lyrics by beautiful mixed race girl
yeah. exactly what i had wanted to say to someone long ago (just about as long as when this song came out)... but couldn't.
Nostalgic..michelle and avril,,literally took me back on those days,,😊😊😊
I just turned 30 and I’m sitting here crying and wishing I could be a kid again 💔😭 why did I want to grow up so fast
I know right! I turned 29 a little over a month ago. We had an awesome childhood, with the best music!
Lol same 1990 babies are the best
are u okay?
I Wish 2
I'm 35 and still reminisce how simple life was when we were kids... being sheltered from perils of life.
The early 2000s: Linkin Park in concert, Smallville on the tube and singers like Vanessa Carlton, Norah Jones and Michelle Branch on the radio. Good times.
It was a great time for radio music, just driving a crank it up
J DC i miss the 2000’s 😓
And nu metal was at its peak.
Usher Not Asher
Agreed. 🤘
Matthew Elliott
Truth.
My little sister passed away at 30 last night........... this was one of her favorites and I cant stop crying
RIP ❤️
I'm sorry man. If it helps at all, I'm sorry, and I care.
Sorry and hang in there
She had good taste in music this is a great song.
So sorry for your loss.
really sorry for your loss..
There is so much nostalgia on this song. Never ages.
The songs of this era all seem to have such a perfect summer feel to them. I'm thankful TH-cam has been created to hold all of them at the tip of our fingertips.
Geoff Ament they all have that first week of hs feel 2 me at least lol
If there’s any song that hits the nail on the head for our generation (kids born in the 1980s) and all the confusion we faced while trying to figure out relationships and unrequited love… it’s this one.
Thank you, Michelle Branch.
I'm 56 and this is totally the song that roped my wife! Love it!
This song hits me on a truly deep, personal, and spiritual level.
My father died April 24 of this year 2023. He was a disabled Navy vet both mentally and physically disabled with a list of medical and mental issues "bipolar and manic depression" among other things, that he had to take a fist full of meds for. It was a Sunday night and I was sitting in his room with him sitting on his bed. I was trying to spend time with him before going too pick my mother up from work. It was always in the back of my mind to try and spend as much time with him as I could not knowing how much time he had left especially after one of his brothers had past away a while prior. Well my mother and I didn't get home until about 11P.M. upon getting inside I went to his room to check on him I quietly opened his door with him snoring. So my mom and I went ahead and went to bed. Next morning I got up to get my dad up for his morning meds too mind him laying on his bed dead, "possibly" from either a seizure or cardiac arrest or combination of the two. I suspect that based on the fact he had just been in the hospital recently prior due to dangerously low sodium levels.
Basically I was the last one with him and I was the one who walked in and found him.
Now with this song, it hits me deep because when I was in middle school my father and I were riding around out in the country and were parked out in a field. My father had spotted something in the sky. I looked and I saw a large shinning cross shinning through the clouds, and too pile onto it we had the radio going in our viechel and "THIS SONG" just happened to be playing. If you want to I can save you. I myself tried observing the phenomenon and saw what appeared to be a human shaped figure in the center of the cross shape. We thought it was the way the light was shining through the clouds but that it was some kind of reach out from the Lord.
P.S. there was an alleged incident with the Roman emperor Constantine who witnessed seeing a cross in the sky with his army before achieving a major military victory and afterwards converted to Christianity and made it the religion of the Roman empire.
So I find that pretty intense what my father and I witnessed, and I rest in comfort knowing the time came and he was taken away by the father, maybe what Michelle Branch could be referring to in her song "when the time comes I'll take you away" and also " please can you tell me so I can finally see where you go when your gone." also if you WANT to I can save you. I can take you away from here.
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
May he rest in peace
@@juantorres5670
He was a strong believer in Christ. I am positive he is in the presence of the Father right now no longer equipped with the broken down body and mind he had here in this physical life.
My original post was something I strongly felt I needed too put out due too the experience we had together in association with this song. It would be awesome if I could tell Michelle Branch in person.
@@vampirehunter533 That's very unusual indeed. My mother saw the same thing when my father was hospitalized. He now doesn't have that long to live. Something in my head told me to listen to Michelle's song and I cried for the longest time. Something about her songs are so spiritual. I feel like they speak to all of us in many ways. I felt pain in my heart when you mentioned your father passing away. No one should deal with losing a loved one, it is the worst pain in the world. No amount of money can replace someone close to us, none.
Still love Michelle Branch after all these years. She’s one of my favorites. This song is great.
2022: I’m about to turn 33 and I constantly remind myself of Michelle Branch’s music now and then. I’ve always liked her music, those vibes and lyrics of hers and I get impressed everytime I realize I remember all the lyrics, especially those from the Hotel Paper album. She’s great and tonight I read about her past and recent years… Michelle, you’re a piece of my youth and always will be! Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹
19 years and several heart breaks later, we're all much older and wiser and hopefully we've all come to the realization that you can't save anyone. You can only save yourself, and finding someone who cares goes both ways. If they're gone, it's on them.
❤️
That’s why she says “if you want to” it is a two way decision
Almost two decades and i still love the early 2000's vides
Incubus matchbox vertical horizon etc.... 😢
Who? From TIME CUT 2024
😂me. Haha
Hahahahhahahhaha
Meeeeee 😂
Me…but back in the early mid 2000s I worked in the electronics department at Walmart. And this was one of many videos that would cycle through the display TVs lol. Love this song still.
Guilty 😂😂💔💔
“So lonely inside. So busy out there.” I love that line! For some reason it has a deep meaning to me. I understand it fully. I love this song! The 2000’s were golden times!
the piano
I’ve always heard it as “so know me inside” and it’s so much more hard hitting that the line is “so lonely inside”. Man. Where are lyrics like this now?
@@KristynRene. back then not all music was made by a committee
Yea, that line really hits today. Busy was work and family to the outside but really so lonely inside…
her lyrics are so damn adorable
This song is an ocean full of MEMORIES for me! 😭 Michelle Branch was criminally underrated as a singer, and DAMN was she good! 👍🤘
My heart melts every time I see Michelle Branch sing
I absolutely love the way Michelle Branch structures her songs. It's so absolutely perfect and poetic.
My favorite Michelle Branch song.
+jim68 Michelle Branch is a very good singer.
+John Roussakis I know.😃
+jim68 love that long hair.
+jim68 Def mine too!!!
+jim68 also her biggest hit peaking at #2 on the pop charts
Y'all, she's re-recording this album for the 20th anniversary and I cannot wait.
Thanks for the heads up.
Omg this is amazing can’t wait to hear it
What's the difference?
omg michelle's version
In ten more years people will still find these songs way better than the music of their times
Could be taken two ways
Kids who didn't grow up in the 2000's (born after 2001) are kind of already saying this. Especially the ones born in 2003-2006 as far as I see on Twitter
@@ceeeceee8753 For me it's true i'm born 2004 and listen to 70s music.
I sure hope so
Yea ur soo ryt people get caught up in nostalgia too much to comprehend if a song is good or bad
I just finished watching Time Cut, and I am grateful because it brought me back to this time❤
This was my crying song as a teen. And evidently still is at 33 as a grown ass woman 😭
Do you feel okay? Was this song about loneliness for you?
Lucy Edwards same!
Lucy Edwards, All you Wanted by Michelle Branch was a crying song for me when I was little in the late 2000's and now i'm 14 and this song is still a crying but badass song for me today :)

Been on a binge of early 2000s content recently to invoke my childhood memories. The music, the atmosphere, the people, the movies, everyone was so much more connected back then and technology wasn’t so all consuming. Maybe it’s nostalgia talking, but I believe it’s the last truly great decade. The world is so much different now, and even if I didn’t know it at the time, I’m incredibly thankful I grew up when I did.
Me too. The 90s and early 2000s were the best years of my life by a country mile. Life is okay these days, but we were indeed very fortunate to grow up when we did.
@@AstralFrost I agree. Late 90s to early 00s were the greatest time of my youth as well. No smartphones, no social media, little internet, yet still so much fun to be had and so much good music, television shows and films. Everything was so much livelier and had more charm to it back then, today it all feels rather artificial and soulless.
Same here💖
Late 90s early 2000s and pre social media
The 2020's have sucked a$$. I agree with you that was the last great American decade. Even globally, as far as artistic creativity was concerned. I feel blessed to have grown up back then.
This song suddenly popped into my head randomly and, I didnt remember who sang it so I typed it into youtube now im here... I miss the old days man, it was so much simpler back then... To whoever is reading this, dont take life for granted, it moves fast and before you know it you are an adult wishing you could rewind time! 😥 😥 😥
Same here in all regards
I'm starting to realize that myself. I'm 25, will be 26 in a few months, but now I wanna do somethings that I never did once everything calms down a little bit
@@dragoncaptain678 Im right there with you! I just turned 31 years old January 31st 2021 and I STILL cant believe it... I wanna finally travel and do some things Ive never done when this covid thing is over...
@@mikecrews9112 I'm so glad I'm not alone on the travel category
@@dragoncaptain678 Oh yea! Ivs been wanting to see the Eiffel Tower in person since I was 8years old! Lol
Ty time cut, I missed 2000's songs and it really hit me that I am old now.
There's a refreshing and nostalgic beauty from the way they produce videos in this era.. this is a great example... who knew you wouldn't wanna go past this era!? Its like you shoot a day in the life of the singer and a little slow mo trick and that's it.. its perfect. Not have to go trigger happy with some software and do gimmick on everything as seen today..
I love the "running in the rain" part!
Another gem. I like how her producers layer and build up to the chorus. This is called MUSICIANSHIP... which is lacking nowadays. She also uses this technique on Breathe. She also ends the song with the opening line. I love this song to pieces. So many layers to it.
By layers are you talking about more than one voice??? Cus if so I like that too lol
She has one of the most beautiful and soothing voices of all time.
Cosmo mondo
Beau Long Its known she has perfect pitch. Her trademark is her vocal pitch. Good trademark! It's uncommon.
IKR, so perfect
Beau Long
would you please listen to *Tears Clean My Eyes* by ninanile. It’s a song I wrote. I hope you’ll like it and I’d wish you’d share it ☺️
Would you say that if you didn't know what she looked like?
Us Millennials and even the Gen X had the best music to grow up to.
Yes, you also had great music from the 60s, 70s, 80s as well. Now teenagers are less likely to hear music from those decades as the newer music pushes it away. Also you had the Howard Shore's Lord of the Rings soundtrack
No glitzy makeup or outlandish outfits - just a wonderful voice and raw talent. Love ❣️ her music
God bless michelle branch. Theres something so pure about her music. Definitely one of my favorite artists.
Cartoons galore 213 It’s a much different sound than this but you can tell the quality of her lyrics are still there
Geoffrey Dunn She makes music with her heart and soul. Her ability to craft songs is ridiculous. She wrote most of Spirit Room when she was 15 or 16
@Cartoons galore 213 So her music is referencing older periods as she gets older? This sounds like the alt-rock that was huge in 1998-2002, from what i've heard of Hotel Paper, it sounds a bit more Alanis & early Matchbox20. So cool
@Cartoons galore 213 i knew she did country (the pretty reckless or smth like that)
I haven't heard this song in ages, but it started playing randomly at work today, and I did a little happy dance. My happiness quickly turned into gut busting laughter when my boss--an African-American man in his late 40's--came into my office singing this word for word. I gave him a look, and he said "What? There's nothing wrong with Vanessa Carlton or whatever her name was." LOLOL.
lol im a black man jamming this..good ole 2000 era.
HAHAHA, that's almost the same thing that happened to me last night. Only I wasn't the one working. I was eating at Red Robin and I heard the chorus of this song and I slapped my sisters arm and I was like "WE KNOW THIS SONG WHAT IS IT CALLED?!" I fell in love with this song all over again.
African american woman here listening to this lol. Always loved her music.
sweetiepie9411 haha me too!
I hope time machines are real so we can just go back in time where we are all just happy kids and teens.
Michelle Branch’ songs really hit a spot I didnt even know I had. It takes me back to being carefree, beautiful sunsets, buffy the vampire slayer, and just having fun. When will I get to feel that again?
..you needed someone to show you the way..
I'm a 90's kid, and I thought the early 2000's was the last era of good music.
Yup
Damn sucks for you
It was. How sad.
Yeah I think of era of great music was 98-2003 a little bit of 2004 but by the time 2005 came everything was was becoming wack then we lost our music tv shows like TRL and 106 n park it was all the way over
I was born in 1996. My favorite eras are late 1990s, 2000s and early 2010s. So far 2020 has some good music too.
I was 13 when this song came out. Now I’m 34. I have to say the 2000s music was the best for me.
33 here and I bought all her CDs back in high school. she was my first ever crush! lol
34 here and now I'm getting old wtf. Bothersome to say the least. I certainly dont feel 34 bang bang skeet skeet
34 too. I was 11 or 12 when this came out. Nostalgia makes me sad.
Thank you TIME CUT! I'll save this as my fave.
Oh Michelle Branch, how I miss your songs. Hearing them on the radio when I was a little kid. I miss this time period of music and just life in general back 10-15 years ago. I get so nostalgic hearing this it made me cry haha, a mix of happy/sad/reminiscing tears. Thank you for creating music.
Don't feel alone :)
+Amanda M know the feeling
Amanda M me too! Nostalgic yeah
She had a concert in Toronto last year, and although it was mostly her new music, she did play a lot of the old songs too and it was INCREDIBLE; some people were crying. It sucks that she didn't play this song and sand "everywhere" without music, but it was still seriously amazing.
Branch, Orrico, Carlton and Lavigne were the Queens before.Its so sad they can not come back big!
I love Stacio Orrico. Amazing singer
❤️ Stacie, and ❤️ Michelle obvz
Lavigne was a no talent hack and druggie.
@@jari56ify truth

i miss 80's, 90's and early 2000's songs.. they were soooo much better than the new ones
You ain't lying
Me to
90's songs were rather negative at times though...
Yes Plus I miss the late of 2000s and early of 2010s
So tue. The 80s, 90s and early to mid-2000s have been and probably will always be the greatest decades for music ever. Sad to see how pop music turned to complete shite in the 2010s. One can only hope that the upcoming 2020s will see some changes in music and make good music return.
2000-2006 music really hits different and until now I am listening to them! No streaming competition and toxic fan base, just pure good music!
Oh man the memories 😭😭 This was and still is my favorite song from Michelle Branch. The nostalgia is real with this one.
nah they be sayin cgi and shii
I cant still accept that their era is long gone
As is yours.
And farther away tomorrow.
yes, same...
yeah i miss early 2000's
It'll come back, revisioned.

@@skurinski it is from her 2001 album The Spirit Room. It is her second single in the album
Hearing this always brings back the memories of being a middle schooler in bed late at night watching music videos on MTV and having a crush on Michelle Branch... Those were the good days...
back in 2000s, Michelle, Avril, Jojo, Hilary Duff... were the shit
Well JoJo is making a comeback hopefully her album will be released this year
+SuperLovebug8 well hello, r u also listening to pretty reckless?
I esp remeber avril her and Carlton during this time(Britney Christina was in the middle of their career)...it was the time when you were sorta developing who you are as a person...I was like 12-13 during this time...
Dido, too... ;-)
disrespectful leaving Nelly Furtado out of there
Wonderful song. It makes me cry. Still watching it in 2019!
18 years after I pulled into a Hastings Music to buy this album after hearing 1 song on the radio I still love it.
I grew up, this is teenager bs. I'm 27...learned guys don't care the hard way. RIP RIP
i stil remember this song.....time is ruthless.
ThisIsTheMusicTV Cry Baby 😭
This song is always alive and lovely through times ☹😘😘
This was the first song I heard of Michelle Branch and I instantly became a fan of her music!
Suddenly im obsessed with this, after many years 😂 so nostalgic hahaha
Wish she had made much more songs, but her music is so iconic, such an early 2000’s vibe
True but Michelle Branch released Hopeless Romantic in 2017 and was gone after that. Sure I just wish Michelle Branch stayed but she left the spotlight for a decade due to the Warner vs. Maverick dispute around the time she was with The Wreckers.
She is making music. The wreckers.
Crazy she was only like 18 when this came out. Beautiful and beautifully talented.
Oh men, it's so nostalgic listening to this music again. If only we can go back to time. Right fellas?
I watched it on MYX Philippines way back 2010 or 2011 on their segment "MYX BACKTRAXX".
I already fell in love with this song. Gosh! Though it was released on the year 2001, the memories and the song! 😢
