I used to listen to this song a lot when I was in my teenage years. It made me grateful of what I had and not focus on what I didn't have. Fast forward to 2024 my mom passed away from dementia from a young age and this song has a new meaning now. It was almost like it was getting me ready for my mom's passing and to just spend the most time with her regardless of the differences we had. Always let the people you love know that you love them because you never know that will be the last time you'll see them.
Fun story, I heard a melody in a commercial that sounded very similar to the bigging of this song. I listed it for the last time many years ago. During the pandemic, several events happened that made me change my life perspective and get away from many people. Now that I read the lyrics again, it takes more sense. @@goldencobra4312
I was asking my angels for a sign to show me I was on the right path and this song was the message, too much I complain, too much I ask for that I forgot the miracle of life and the things and loved ones around. Amazing lyrics.
This was my soundtrack as a teen. Parents were so negative. Had a long tearful discussion as adults and they apologized. Still not on the best terms but at least we talk once in a while.
The instruments... The composition is pure state of musical enjoyment, it's splendidly splendid! The way those effective lyrics blend with these amazing scales of melody!!! so guuud...
You seem to find the dark when everything is bright You look for all thats wrong instead of all thats right Does it feel good to you to rain on my parade You never say a word unless its to complain Its driving me insane If i were you Holding the world right in my hands The first thing I'd do Is thank the stars for all that i have If i were you Look what surrounds you now More than you ever dreamed Have you forgotten just how hard it used to be So whats it going to take For you to realize It all could go away in one blink of an eye It happens all the time If i were you Holding the world right in my hands The first thing I'd do Is thank the stars above Tell the ones I love that i do If i were you So whats it going to take For you to realize It all could go away in one blink of an eye It happens all the time If i were you Holding the world right in my hands The first thing I'd do Is thank the stars above For the ones I love Take a breath and enjoy the view Live the life that I've wanted to If i were you

@@mchasanhidayat2549 tapi saya tahunya ini dulu, bukan dr acara musik di tv, malah dr iklan promosi di tv acara apa gitu, gak tahu judulnya pula 🤣 nyari lagunya juga gak tahu, dan alat pemutar musiknya juga gak punya,
@@mchasanhidayat2549 iya bener, di one stop football biasanya ada nama dan judul lagu di cuplikan gol2nya tepat di bawah layar, yg saya inget unaffected hoobastank dan bailamos enriqiue iglesias sering diputer lagunya, entah kenapa lagu2 hoobastank bagus2 semua, satu dari dua band yg saya simpan lagunya lengkap di semua album selain evanescene. 😁
@@mchasanhidayat2549 bener bro, tahun sekitaran 2010 keatas lagu2 indonesia gak ada yg bagus [menurut saya] mungkin ada beberapa yg bagus, bahkan band2 luar juga lagu2nya gak sekeren band2 era kejayaan 90an-2000an. Ditambah lagi banyak tukang cover lagu, dan lagunya kebanyakan mengcover lagu2 di era kejayaan lagu indonesia.
My brother used to play this on his big boom box when I was around *8 years old.* Now I'm 18 and this song brings back all my good childhood memories like no other. I find the lyrics apply today in the complaisant world we live in.
Powerful lyrics. I love how they wrote this based off their encounter with Scott Weiland. Pretty eerie song in hindsight when you look at how much Scott's life turned for the worst since Velvet Revolver toured with Hoobastank.
Hoobastank is one of my favorites. Oddly, that piano melody sounds exactly like something i heard prior to this being recorded/released. Some of the most parallel thinking I've ever seen/heard. Uncanny really. It is flattery, nonetheless. ❤ ♾️
Even though he left our lives when we were young....I hope he recovers, and comes back some day. He missed so much, but that doesn't mean he has to miss it all. In the end, I do forgive you, dad. :/
Love this song so very much guys. Thank you so much for allowing it to be written through you. Much Love, Light, Prayers and sending many Blessings to you all and all that you hold dear. ❤ Michele Shreeve 3.10.2022
I'm only 14 and yet appreciate hoobastanking music so much, I've been listening to it since I was born because it's one of my dad's favourite bands and now one of mine😊
I got into an argument with my younger sister about the sentence "if I were you" , then when I had to search the song for her to prove her I was right, however, we're not native English speakers. ☺
Look what surrounds you now More than you ever dreamed Have you forgotten just how hard it used to be for someone who forgot our struggle in the past ... :(
This song is underrated and has a powerful message
Hoobastank is one of the most underrated rock bands!
Word!
listen to farmer boys (germany)... they are amazing
truth!
Agree 100% Incubus and Silverchair are right there too!
Yes inf'kingdeed

Kylo Ren 11 years man c':
I still remember their interview for this song
quoted: 2006 The Island Def Jam Music Group. so obviously this was a 2006 released track...^^ 12 years already gone
It‘s 2019 Now 😂 feeling old?
for me hoobastank writes the most relatable lyrics
Does this music makes you feel free from stress,problems and anything? Yes because hoobastank can make it go away.
This song has one of the most amazing lyrics I've heard!! but still it is so underrated :(
most underrated band ever
Ikr!!! this is real music bro, nowadays music is just crap,it's sad to see how rock music has faded away....

フーバスタンクは美しく印象的なメロディ、分かりやすい歌詞に強いメッセージが込められていて、英語が不得意な日本人の私にもとても響いたバンド。
One of the most underrated bands and song...
I had a heart attack two years ago and this was the song that made me rethink my life. I do now thank the stars for all that I have.
Congrats for overcome such awful situation get well forever
Thank you and have a blessed and saved life
It's August 2021 and this song still an absolute banger. This band is so damn underrated.

"So what's it going to take for you to realize, this music will go away in one blink of an eye" :(
Sometimes it only takes one good song to bring back thousands of good old memories. ❤️
childhood song is never boring.. feels like forever young :)
The quarantine gives me time to listen to all the music gems. Every Man For Himself is my favorite Hoobastank album
My favorite band....
Para Mi Es La Mejor Cancion De Hoobastank!
The instruments... The composition is pure state of musical enjoyment, it's splendidly splendid! The way those effective lyrics blend with these amazing scales of melody!!! so guuud...
I was in junior high when this song became an "Artist Of the Month" on MTV Indonesia. Man, the memories hits really hard.
Same bro

You seem to find the dark when everything is bright
You look for all thats wrong instead of all thats right
Does it feel good to you to rain on my parade
You never say a word unless its to complain
Its driving me insane
If i were you
Holding the world right in my hands
The first thing I'd do
Is thank the stars for all that i have
If i were you
Look what surrounds you now
More than you ever dreamed
Have you forgotten just how hard it used to be
So whats it going to take
For you to realize
It all could go away in one blink of an eye
It happens all the time
If i were you
Holding the world right in my hands
The first thing I'd do
Is thank the stars above
Tell the ones I love that i do
If i were you
So whats it going to take
For you to realize
It all could go away in one blink of an eye
It happens all the time
If i were you
Holding the world right in my hands
The first thing I'd do
Is thank the stars above
For the ones I love
Take a breath and enjoy the view
Live the life that I've wanted to
If i were you
This song have a deep meaning... To be grateful everyday
This song brings me a nostalgia of the 2000´s at that time the rock was having it´s last moments in the scenery of music, now rock music faded away

Lagu hoobastank pertama yang saya dengar di tv pertengahan 2000an, dan saya hampir tahu semua lagunya 😀 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
@@mchasanhidayat2549 tapi saya tahunya ini dulu, bukan dr acara musik di tv, malah dr iklan promosi di tv acara apa gitu, gak tahu judulnya pula 🤣 nyari lagunya juga gak tahu, dan alat pemutar musiknya juga gak punya,

Another good song from Hoobastank!
bro this is Literally the sound of my childhood and adolescence!!! long live Hoobastank!!!!

2019...still love this song
time is soo ruthlees i miss the 2000s
+++
we are still a thousand years in the 2000's, but you mean the early 2000's right?
@Kry Kry Stott same
Ahhh.... Friendster days. This and other 2000s rock bands. I would trade anything to go back in that decade. My teenage years.
End of year 2018 still favorite this band
who in 2017?? love this song!!
This song gives me the goosebumps!
Most underrated rock song ever!
Hace muchos años no escuchaba e canción, ya la había olvidado pero cuando la volví a escuchar me dio mucha melancolía, una de mis canciones favoritas
I ve heard this song like 20 times in past three days and i am enjoying it still
2020 still here for a really good music~
listening this song remind me to my best friend. Memories, so many of it in this song.
Daebak! It was 14 years ago I heard this song for the first time, and now 2021 I remember its again for I'm learning English.
Powerful lyrics. I love how they wrote this based off their encounter with Scott Weiland.
Pretty eerie song in hindsight when you look at how much Scott's life turned for the worst since Velvet Revolver toured with Hoobastank.
Hoobastank is one of my favorites. Oddly, that piano melody sounds exactly like something i heard prior to this being recorded/released. Some of the most parallel thinking I've ever seen/heard. Uncanny really. It is flattery, nonetheless. ❤ ♾️
Wish I could go back to the good old days 😭
This is what you call real music. Not the type of music nowadays that’s close to being garbage.
when music was music
Old but gold
2023 and I still love this❤
Lovely tune, amazing, inspirational, meaningful lyrics ! What's not to like about this song.....!
2019 still love this song
My favorite song from Hoobastank I Love you!... If I were you
OH! This is a FABULOUS song!!! BRAVO,Y'all! WOW!
2019 🇧🇷♥️ Adoro essa música
Eu também
Even though he left our lives when we were young....I hope he recovers, and comes back some day. He missed so much, but that doesn't mean he has to miss it all.
In the end, I do forgive you, dad. :/
Love this song so very much guys.
Thank you so much for allowing it to be written through you.
Much Love, Light, Prayers and sending many Blessings to you all and all that you hold dear.

Omg this song :') getting flashbacks from 2011 when I used to love it! in fact, I still do ❤😭
I got into an argument with my younger sister about the sentence "if I were you" , then when I had to search the song for her to prove her I was right, however, we're not native English speakers. ☺
This song is beautiful. Not the best of them, but the most beautiful for sure.
2019 n still best old school songs 😘
10 years ago I used to listen to this song, now I understand it.
Nothing is for granted!
Look what surrounds you now
More than you ever dreamed
Have you forgotten just how hard it used to be
