Since the end of the 90s, musical culture has declined enormously. we must not forget that between the 60s and 80s everyone had musical notions and the practice of an instrument was commonplace. Today, the musical level per individual is so low or almost zero. full of talented artists didn't have the success they deserved. Sad period
Musical genius never to be fully appreciated- And that’s ok. Those who are here feel a connection most of the world NEVER WILL… Thank you Travis- your music speaks to me like no other person
I'm not afraid to live! I'm not afraid to die! I can only give what I see inside... You can only take what I give of me You can only win when I'm not afraid to lose Genius. Will always listening to Travis art...
And the 12 children who gave it a thumbs down clearly have no idea what it was like in the last years of the 90's and the people like us this music touched and all that we were experiencing in those times.... drug, love and pain....😎
I saw Travis Meeks in Hattiesburg Mississippi around 2008 before I moved up here to the Upper Peninsula in 2009. I was amazed at how he put a Fantastic show with just him and 1 other performer. I could not keep eyes off of him. He took the time after the show to come over and shake my hand and say Thank you and give me a kiss on the cheek. He also did this with others. 😊😊
The lyrics are so powerful. And to come from the mind of a 16 year old is unbelievable. Travis and his boys accomplished at a very young age what most adults never do. I'm an just so thankful he was able to give us this awesome music and poetry before the devil reared his ugly head and lured Travis in. Travis however, is truly one of the lucky ones that actually made it out and survived his demons. All the people that judge him have no clue about addiction if they have never lived it. I understand the first time use is a choice, but after that, and I don't care how strong minded you are, you really have no choice because addiction is so physical and mental. It has a grip that superman could not break free of. So cut the guy so slack and just enjoy and bask in what this talented young man was able to give us. I am 43 years old and still jam these guys on a daily basis. And that my friend, says a lot about his lyrical talent because I tend to get bored with repetitive music. We miss you Travis!!!! God bless you for the powerful poetic lyrics and music you gave us.
i have owned and bought it 4 times ,got two copies left both half and half so cant throw away either lol time for number five i think ill buy digital if i can ,2nd album was bloody great to!
with you there mate it keeps me balanced too, i hope you keep fighting its worth it some days ! whats left of me an ,freak downtown and listen first album has a secret song and its great ,where i stand is a favorite and this music is not easy to play and sing at all mother bless the days !
Futile Justice my favorite song from travis is the next right thing or another flaw. This music kills me inside sometimes more than life can,but if I didn't have it I couldn't keep living.
Had this album on repeat on my flip phone in 2013-2014, what would be the last year of high school, how i miss those times deeply. I sit here in 2023 wondering where the last 10 years went
I can see the orange sky in front of me I can see things you'll never see People say its all a f---ing dream But I can say words you couldn't speak Is it me? Can you believe You'll never live the world I live Is it me? It is only me I can only live a world to... live Break away from you shattered beliefs Detaching from my body desperate in grief I have changed the world in front of me One against all; I'm starving this world (Bridge) Is it me? Do you want me? You think you can have me Say you love me You want me! I'm saving my money 'cause I don't pay to... (Chorus) I'm not afraid to live I'm not afraid to die I can only give What I see inside You can only take What I give of me You can only win When I'm not afraid to lose... Subjected to your mother of nature Limited to the color of your eyes Drained by the one you call your lover She don't care if you live or die (Repeat bridge and chorus) Oh yeah, oh yeah Oh yeah, oh yeah You can only win when I'm not afraid to lose... Well I don't have a problem I evolved, (I evolved, I evolved...) Sometimes there are always problems Well I don't have a problem... I stand above...
I've been a fan since the first album came out and have listened to them at least 3 to 4 times a week ever since! This is true music, every sensation a human being can feel in every song
this is truly my fav tune off yellow. always has been. clicked on it thinking there was a video. silly me. oh well might as well listen. stay clean travis!!!
My dad always had this album laying around. Always loved it. When i saw that episode of Intervention it broke my heart so see how he ended up. Glad he's clean now. So much talent.
Well said KB. Steve F, how is anything a waste? The guy gives his all in everything he does. Your opinion is relative to what you think you know about him. Good, bad, he’s all in
there are people in this world, with mental issues. Some diagnosed, some not. There are very complex individuals, called crazy. Just alone in their heads. They cannot associate with others comfortably. They however prefer isolation from civilization. Make the most pure musical rendition of life.
Tool fan here so I'm well accustomed to the longer song length. Not that a longer song is a measure of superiority but when you get to the end of it and wish it was longer... well done! I knew a few DotN songs but not this one.. what a find!
I love, love, love this song among the absolute faves by Travis Meeks! And may I add: part of the reason why I'd felt drawn to your upload in the first place was that the illustration is so very fitting for the song. Listened for years, may Grunge never die!
I always loved the yellow album, and not ever really heard or gave chance to listen to subsequent albums, but just heard the green album... wow.. really good shit
one of the most influential artists of my time!! Some of the best acoustics you'll hear and i know there are better out there but they blend so well. A great group..
Got to reply. Yes TALENT all the way. back in the 90s when they hit New Zealand just had to get the cd and still got it will 2 of them as they only had 2 of there cds sold here that i no off.
Mike at trying to make MUSIC -WOW!, I had know idea they swung by NZ. I may have been too young. Despite my current social anxiety issue, I'd reject it, and venture out to personally witness DotN, if the opportunity arose once more.
“You can only Win! When I’m not afraid to Lose!” What a Grandiose thing to say... “ I can relate being an addict too. 😞 Love ❤️ Days of the New.” I don’t really Hate anyone. I struggle the same as everyone else.
Been a huge fan of Days of the New since the first time I listened to this CD in '95. Then found out they are from Louisville, Ky. Being from Ky myself made me an even bigger fan because they was the only group( to my knowledge) at that time from Louisville that made it big.
Great to see comments as recent as only a few weeks ago. Hard to put into words what I think of this guy. If there was a subconscious task given to me from the day I left the womb to find the perfect sound...Meeks is it!
@RufusLynx101 I agree, he is underrated as a musician. I love the orange album and this song in particular. I love at the end when he screams. OH YEAH! OH YEAH!!!!!!!!
I'm pretty sure Rick Stultz is the artist. Check out the Video "sick of man" by COLD and you will see a few more portraits by the same artist. Very good song too btw....Check it out!
Its 2020, still the most underrated song on TH-cam 🤘
2021 and the sentiment still applies
Because the general public doesn't listen to lyrics anymore 😔. Or too sheltered and can't relate to it. Sad
You are right buddy!
2023 still fucking amazing!

Travis was 17 years old when he wrote these lyrics. His music and lyrics are so deep and profound that they bring tears to my eyes.
it's not the age, it's the soul.
Here in 2020 still loving Travis Meeks
2021 here! ❤️
Musical genius never to be fully appreciated-
And that’s ok. Those who are here feel a connection most of the world NEVER WILL…
Thank you Travis- your music speaks to me like no other person
I'm not afraid to live!
I'm not afraid to die!
I can only give what I see inside...
You can only take what I give of me
You can only win when I'm not afraid to lose
Genius. Will always listening to Travis art...
And the 12 children who gave it a thumbs down clearly have no idea what it was like in the last years of the 90's and the people like us this music touched and all that we were experiencing in those times.... drug, love and pain....😎

one of the best song I ever heard
Perfect song
Best hill bombin song
The artwork is so in tune with the feelings this song gives.
"I don't have a problem
I stand above"
You just nailed my exact feelings. Is this Travis' artwork?
This is the soundtrack for rising above things that shove u down, Or wallowing in your own demise. He’s a genius my hero
i have developed an addiction to Days of the New.... i just cant fucking stop
I’ve been addicted since 97, I can’t get enough
The lyrics are so powerful. And to come from the mind of a 16 year old is unbelievable. Travis and his boys accomplished at a very young age what most adults never do.

This song is the fucking manifest.
Lipoxai of?
2024
Manifesting is word of the year I hear
I love this song.when it breaks into the chorus i get goose bumps.
cant count how many times i've listened to this tune......helps to get me thru tough times!
I blew this CD up one night I played it so much
i have owned and bought it 4 times ,got two copies left both half and half so cant throw away either lol time for number five i think ill buy digital if i can ,2nd album was bloody great to!
+Futile Justice This music has kept me from throwing myself away,I plan on buying all of the music Travis made. This is if I can't find it...
with you there mate it keeps me balanced too, i hope you keep fighting its worth it some days ! whats left of me an ,freak downtown and listen first album has a secret song and its great ,where i stand is a favorite and this music is not easy to play and sing at all mother bless the days !

You’re only a year older than me. I was obsessed with Alice In Chains then. Days didn’t come til a few years later
everyone should give this tune some time
I can see the orange sky in front of me
I can see things you'll never see
People say its all a f---ing dream
But I can say words you couldn't speak
Is it me?
Can you believe
You'll never live the world I live
Is it me?
It is only me
I can only live a world to... live
Break away from you shattered beliefs
Detaching from my body desperate in grief
I have changed the world in front of me
One against all; I'm starving this world
(Bridge) Is it me?
Do you want me?
You think you can have me
Say you love me
You want me!
I'm saving my money 'cause I don't pay to...
(Chorus) I'm not afraid to live
I'm not afraid to die
I can only give
What I see inside
You can only take
What I give of me
You can only win
When I'm not afraid to lose...
Subjected to your mother of nature
Limited to the color of your eyes
Drained by the one you call your lover
She don't care if you live or die
(Repeat bridge and chorus)
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
You can only win when I'm not afraid to lose...
Well I don't have a problem
I evolved, (I evolved, I evolved...)
Sometimes there are always problems
Well I don't have a problem...
I stand above...
I've been a fan since the first album came out and have listened to them at least 3 to 4 times a week ever since! This is true music, every sensation a human being can feel in every song

What a beautiful song, it was made for me. I will love it until the day I die.😊
My dad always had this album laying around. Always loved it. When i saw that episode of Intervention it broke my heart so see how he ended up. Glad he's clean now. So much talent.
KyleBurnsMusic It just goes to show you there's still life even when there's death,there's still beauty in darkness.
he is in prison right now..
Damn..really:? I met him a long time ago on a solo tour. good guy..such a waste.

Still bumping that ish in 2022
Tool fan here so I'm well accustomed to the longer song length. Not that a longer song is a measure of superiority but when you get to the end of it and wish it was longer... well done! I knew a few DotN songs but not this one.. what a find!
I always play this song......its part of my soul.
yup same here!
This song makes me all choked up... Love this stuff.
My step dad introduced me to these guys 18 years ago, still goes hard
I love, love, love this song among the absolute faves by Travis Meeks! And may I add: part of the reason why I'd felt drawn to your upload in the first place was that the illustration is so very fitting for the song. Listened for years, may Grunge never die!
2019.......................no one but me?
don't worry you are not alone bro.
THAT'S WHAT LIFE IS ALL ABOUT LIFE ISSUES THAT WE HAVE TO LEARN TOO LATE!
2020
here I'm
‘20
I always loved the yellow album, and not ever really heard or gave chance to listen to subsequent albums, but just heard the green album... wow.. really good shit
Very underrated. The green album has some great transitions between songs.
The green album has that "Celtic" vibe to it.... very good stuff. Makes perfect sense as a follow up. At least to me!
I been listening to this for 10 years.
I love it!
2020... still rockin
Saw them in concert in 93 in Albuquerque. I still have his guitar pick. Small venue and an amazing show.
Say you love me...
93?
carlosinzen umm, they didn't exist in 93.
never got to see D.O.T.N.......(another of my life's regrets!)
carlosinzen you mean 97* lol
one of the most influential artists of my time!! Some of the best acoustics you'll hear and i know there are better out there but they blend so well. A great group..
One of my favorites❤️‼️
So deep. So Powerful. So underrated.
That intro OMG!!🔥
1 Thing Certainly Comes to Mind...Pure Talent :p
Got to reply. Yes TALENT all the way. back in the 90s when they hit New Zealand just had to get the cd and still got it will 2 of them as they only had 2 of there cds sold here that i no off.

LOVE the artwork! wish I had a copy! :)
Musical genius, acoustic enrapture
2020 ANYONE else
Damn right 2020
Hello from 2021 🐢👋
2024
It doesn't get much more bad-ass than that.....
i love this song
love this one. Top 5 from them forsure .. 1st and 3rd albums from days of the new are unreal.
This is still my favorite song of theirs
Been a huge fan of Days of the New since the first time I listened to this CD in '95. Then found out they are from Louisville, Ky. Being from Ky myself made me an even bigger fan because they was the only group( to my knowledge) at that time from Louisville that made it big.

please come back Travis you don't know how many people you been helping over the years.
I love this song.
The song is appropriate for the way the Sun is reflecting upon the Heavens this morning. Enjoy
Hit it out of the park on the outlook. Wow!
great works! we love you from Algeria !
I found this song during a hard time in my life,I probably wouldn't have made it through if I didn't find this.
Sometimes there are always problems....
....But I don't have a problem
Very mysterious song!
Thank you.. blessings
I'm still upset What's Left for Me isn't on TH-cam, that was my favorite track off the Yellow Album. I had to find it on stupid MySpace.
Get Spotify
Travis has brought days of the new to mankind...Literallly.
The same mankind who brought him drugs and very bad days....
Good song!
Oh how I miss this band......
sometimes there are always problems ,well I don't have a problem ascend above Yeah !
This song is so fucking good. Love the picture the lyrics paint.
favorite dotn tune for sure
legend
@RufusLynx101 I agree, he is underrated as a musician. I love the orange album and this song in particular. I love at the end when he screams. OH YEAH! OH YEAH!!!!!!!!
All alone here in 2021.
Not true
Love it!
*She'll never find a lad like me ever again, I can replace her but she cannot replace me, shouldn't have played games with me!*
"I stand above".... i wish
You can only take what I give of me!
wow!!
love the intro, should have played it throughout the song,but what do I know.
Nice!!
Where can I get the artwork?!
You can only take what I give of me
2024 mfers, those symbols at the end get me everytime !!!!! Love that shyt
i love DOTN!!!!
Where I can get the picture ?
They call eat eaten crow. Whatever that means. I like you for being blood of us.
6 now..9-14-17...ignorance I say
W Lllo ears that aren't ready yet, APPARENTLY
🖤
@86markb I personally think that the 2nd album is amazing!
QuantumPhysicsDub all of them are
From a troubled childhood to prison for homelessness
este hellson se me hace conocido......
I used to know how to play this. I think the tuning is Bb
Why the title is Whimsical?
Bet the 4 people who disliked didnt even reach a minute into the song
hollywood1000 they thought it said disilike..
12 disliked at this point
They don't know great music or have no soul
Is this a nod to layne stayley
Anyone still here in 2024?
Is the art on this video the actual album art? Who is the artist? Please let me know. Thanks!
I'm pretty sure Rick Stultz is the artist. Check out the Video "sick of man" by COLD and you will see a few more portraits by the same artist. Very good song too btw....Check it out!
It's like Yes meets Dr. Seuss.
Jennifer Hardy, Not sure, but I know Machine Gun Kelly's second album, General Admission, uses an altered version of this art as the album cover.
Jose DeJesus yeah he fucking stole it
Fuckin headshots
@mackeyf4L Not disagreeing with you,..just wonderin why anybody would seriously compare travis meeks to kurt cobaine.
A#?????!!!
Hello Violet Heart
Its sounds like maynard, TOOL to be specific
NEWS FLASH: Days of the new became Days of the old!
Soo Great Fucking Song , I
