This is honestly one of the best songs ever written! Great melody, lyrics are simple yet get the point across, the music is punchy yet so happy! This just takes you back to when you were the happiest even if you're in a low place! This song can make anyone happy!
I remember this song from the 2001 disney channel original movie "Mottocrossed"!!! I heard it just yesterday when i went to get my haircut, and about shat myself! It had been SO long since I had heard it, and I love it! I was immediately flodded with nostalgia of the good ole' days!! ;D Honestly, the fact that we still can have this music around brings tears to of joy to my eyes! ... ;)
@@financialliteracy1014 Thats where i know it from too!!!! So sad they took the song out of the movie on disney plus, was very disappointed when i watched it again.
I totally totally agree. There's a story about how "500 miles" by the Proclaimers went absolutely nowhere until Johnny Depp featured it in one of his movies. Then: straight to #1. Sometimes It's all about luck and exposure.
The decade when bands cared about having a storyline in their music videos, this is a prime example of that happening. Nowadays its just somebody doing weird moves in the street or buying groceries at a supermarket and thats the video for the song, how low have we become?
+McKinley Warren I actually found this song on Napster back in the days when it was still free and fell in love with it. Fun, fun song. Thanks for putting this out there Fastball! =)
Can you make it easier for me to understand How you're holding my heart, in your trembling hands... Eyes that rise to meet me half way up among the stars, You may be from Venus but I'm definitely not from Mars You're an ocean, you're an ocean Settle down, settle down, what's the commotion? I'm an island, but you're an ocean It's a stormy sea of love and emotion You've got me suspended motionless in time Make the warm winds circle round my head just like you do If I could do it, I'd be doing it to you I believe I'd buy whatever you would sell to me Nothing in my life ever came with a guarantee You're an ocean, you're an ocean Settle down, settle down, what's the commotion? I'm an island, but you're an ocean It's a stormy sea of love and emotion You've got me suspended motionless in time I believe I'd buy whatever you would sell to me Nothing in my life ever came with a guarantee You're an ocean, you're an ocean Settle down, settle down, what's the commotion?

The piano playing is spectacular, but Billy Preston (who played with The Beatles and The Rolling Stones) was about 55 years old at the time and is black. I think the young white fellow the video briefly featured at the piano must have been "standing in" just for the video, or maybe tours, he obviously is a terrific pianist too.
@@davesaltzman1390 Who cares about the guy in the video? :-)) Cabaret dancers weren't on the record either, you know. And Billy Preston certainly was - treat yourself to some Wikipedia for proof.
@@davesaltzman1390or it could have been that Preston was in horrible health and had to receive a kidney transplant shortly after this song came out. He probably would not have been able to tour with the band because of being in parole. You left a few important details out of your post
Wow....must be nice to have that Kroger near you. All they play at ours is the latest pop-culture drivel and country music. If you want to know what a chronic condition feels like, just come to Kansas. You can't shop without getting one.
I like to watch music videos where everyone looks like they're having the time of their lives. So happy!! And the dancers are great!! The one girl is smiling and laughing with the drummer!! If you look closely.
First Time I heard this, I knew it was Billy Preston on Piano, as his style is so distinctive . Then I thought , how did Billy end up on a Fastball Record.
I finally sat down and learned those slide parts Miles played, Really nicely done, I wonder what happened with the Tuesday with Miles Show? Was so cool. I think Tony and Miles were great songwriters too. Just ordered their new CD.
I've heard this song twice in two days in two different stores. I had to look it up to see who it was by. This song is far better than their huge hit "The Way". Amazed to see this only "bubbled under" at #101.
I'd never heard of this song until I heard it on an episode of Charmed years ago (the original, not the reboot). I thought it was catchy as hell, now it's on my playlist.
Yeah, came here because of Charmed too. I even forgot which episode it was in (Season 3, Episode 7 for anyone wondering while reading this :P) now saw it when rewatching the show.
saw them live yesterday night in Venice West. it was a fun show. it's been 22 years since this song was released. i remember i was so excited when i saw the movie on the TV! it took me a full night to download the Harsh light of day album and burn into a CD (i was not living in the US that time lol. you couldn't find many American albums around to buy)
:((( I miss this and motocrossed makes me soo sad I remember I'd watch that movie every fall and summer and my sisters rode dirt bikes and my family thought I was too little to ride them and then I would have but then my dad sold theirs and our family wouldn't let us any more :( I wish I could have raced dirt bikes :((( make me wanna cry this song
During some of these wide shots, you can see that there is a female on the piano. I wonder what the deal is behind the change up on that with the swapping out. Maybe an easter egg?
When I first heard this song I really thought it was very depressing because what the song means to me is a guy sees a girl he likes but she already has a man.
This song deserved to be as big a hit as “The Way.” Fastball is a very underrated band.
Definitely. One of my favourite songs from that time.
Um no
Missed them the first time around, but they're quickly growing on me.
I concur! Love this one so much!
It’s good but Fire Escape is better and that wasn’t a hit either

100%.
How this wasn’t a bigger hit baffles me. It’s a perfect pop song.
Underrated by who?
Why this song was never as big a hit as "The Way" and "Out of My Head" we will never know.
Don't forget Fire Escape
@@boriszakharin3189 Outta My Head and Are You Ready For the Fallout? as well. They had several hits in the 90s/2000s, including this one.
It’s because this song came out in the 2000s when this kind of music was dying sadly…
ふとこの曲が頭によぎり、20年ぶりくらいに聞きに来ちゃいました😊相変わらず爽快なナンバーで最高！当時は20歳だった私も42歳👴
Same......definately reminds me of those summers back then😢😊
Simpler Times, Motorcrossed and good Disney Shows and Movies.
Kevin James brink!
I agree
Back when Disney made really good tv movies that weren't annoying and just plain awesome
I hear this song at work all the time and can not get it out of my head. Not complaining!
I think the song owes at least half of its catchiness to the fantastic piano arrangement by Billy Preston. True genuis!
The decade when bands cared about having a storyline in their music videos, this is a prime example of that happening.
Nowadays its just somebody doing weird moves in the street or buying groceries at a supermarket and thats the video for the song, how low have we become?
Underrated song. Underrated band.
Charmed!!
👍😊
Charmed is the only way I know this song!
+McKinley Warren I actually found this song on Napster back in the days when it was still free and fell in love with it. Fun, fun song. Thanks for putting this out there Fastball! =)
Charmed brought me here too. That's how I know this song.
Ronald Chua.. Charmed is the reason I'm here!!
Heard this in a grocery store yesterday. Stuck in my head.
Motocrossed
Alisha Garraway YES
john osborne hell yes.
Yes heard this at work in Safeway and said this song is from Motocrossed.
Fastball put out some of the very best power-pop (along with Fountains of Wayne)
Really liked the “inside the radio” set they made. First heard this in a Caribou Coffee.
this is actually my favorite song
Can you make it easier for me to understand
How you're holding my heart, in your trembling hands...
Eyes that rise to meet me half way up among the stars,
You may be from Venus but I'm definitely not from Mars
You're an ocean, you're an ocean
Settle down, settle down, what's the commotion?
I'm an island, but you're an ocean
It's a stormy sea of love and emotion
You've got me suspended motionless in time
Make the warm winds circle round my head just like you do
If I could do it, I'd be doing it to you
I believe I'd buy whatever you would sell to me
Nothing in my life ever came with a guarantee
You're an ocean, you're an ocean
Settle down, settle down, what's the commotion?
I'm an island, but you're an ocean
It's a stormy sea of love and emotion
You've got me suspended motionless in time
I believe I'd buy whatever you would sell to me
Nothing in my life ever came with a guarantee
You're an ocean, you're an ocean
Settle down, settle down, what's the commotion?
I'm an island, but you're an ocean
It's a stormy sea of love and emotion
You've got me suspended motionless
You've got me suspended motionless
You've got me suspended motionless in time
This band is my favourite one... so cooll
Awesome song with the legendary Billy Preston on piano/keyboards!!
is that a fact?

They play this song all the time in Kroger
I know I had the song in my head.... I work there..
lol
Wow....must be nice to have that Kroger near you. All they play at ours is the latest pop-culture drivel and country music. If you want to know what a chronic condition feels like, just come to Kansas. You can't shop without getting one.
Harris Teeter here in NC
BJ's here on the east coast (employee who finally tracked this song down!)
Fantastic song! Should have been a huge hit.
It’s a dope song. Still to this day every time I hear it I say “This is a dope song.”
Such a great band, such a great song.
I like to watch music videos where everyone looks like they're having the time of their lives. So happy!! And the dancers are great!! The one girl is smiling and laughing with the drummer!! If you look closely.
First Time I heard this, I knew it was Billy Preston on Piano, as his style is so distinctive . Then I thought , how did Billy end up on a Fastball Record.
They gave him a call.

Somehow this song escaped me for 23 years.
Never forgot it...... it's always in the back of my mind😊
I'd never heard of this song until I heard it on an episode of Charmed years ago (the original, not the reboot). I thought it was catchy as hell, now it's on my playlist.
Yeah, came here because of Charmed too.
I even forgot which episode it was in (Season 3, Episode 7 for anyone wondering while reading this :P) now saw it when rewatching the show.
I’m here from charmed too! :)
And repeat! x3
Introduced to this song thru Publix radiostream...
im not that crazy about this song but boy does it sing in ur head forever, lol...
Just watched Charmed!! Hmmmmm.... I like it...
WHY DO ALL FASTBALL MUSIC VIDEOS LOOK SO BRIGHT AND COLORFUL? :)
YOU WOULD THINK THE WAY WAS A GREAT VIDEO FROM THE 1990S
Great song. Great lyrics. Fastball!!!
saw them live yesterday night in Venice West. it was a fun show. it's been 22 years since this song was released. i remember i was so excited when i saw the movie on the TV! it took me a full night to download the Harsh light of day album and burn into a CD (i was not living in the US that time lol. you couldn't find many American albums around to buy)

I really love this song
One of my favorite songs of all time
What fun. Slide reminds me of David Lindley, Jackson Browne, running on empty
So many good memories ❤
I love this song.
I was food shopping at Wegmans earlier today and they were playing this song on the speakers.
This song is on fire
Great song !
First time I heard this I knew it had to be Billy Preston playing piano...whoever made that call did GREAT!
Your the best
best lyric ever
good song!
Charmed brought me here!
OH i didn't not know Ross from "Friends" could sing.
😂😂😂😂
This comment just made my day! 😂
I vaguely see the resemblance but great effort towards putting together a joke.
This is just a great song.
Surfing rules!!!
xoxo The Clarences
Yes exactly! I'm glad I'm not alone here! :D
During some of these wide shots, you can see that there is a female on the piano. I wonder what the deal is behind the change up on that with the swapping out. Maybe an easter egg?
Ah, seeing this video on CTN (College Television Network) during my first semester of college...
Q copante !!
Nice Video - Good Surfing open.
i love this song lolz
My 9 year old self thinking of the movie motocrossed brought me here
Motocrossed brought me here :)
that is how its done!
You always hear this at CVS. 😂💀
what a great song. reminds me of Jellyfish
This is a god like song
If they would pump the gain up to about 6 or 7 this would be a jammin ass track
Who else always hears this song at work ?
mundo louco rock na veia
Man, i wish i could find Fastball's Discography
Settle down settle down what's the commotion
Has a nice "Elvis Costello" vibe.
I never noticed but that's very true
amy you look so good lol :)
Here's a clip from behind the scenes of the shoot in the studio. Thanks to Mark Kohr for directing!
th-cam.com/video/UO3cS63ECgg/w-d-xo.html
Thanks!
The video producer did great
“You’ve got me suspended motionless in time…” - all-time lyric.
They play it all the time in vons I work there and hear it. xD
You should check out the NEW Fastball music video for 'Love Comes in Waves'! LOL
URINE OCEAN. i’m sorry. you’re welcome.
Where are joey and chandler?
Who all here because you heard it at the grocery store and can’t believe it wasn’t a bigger hit
Yeah
Disney + NEEDS to put this song back into Motocrossed
Motocrossed has brought me here.
Motocrossed intro brought me here
I guess I’m the only one who came here from the 2001 Pepsi Summer Hits or Charmed?
0:46 I just realize that crappy Chinese Food Song from Alison Gold rip that sound off. Sounds very familiar.
me too
The youngest the bikini girls in this video could be now are 40 and most are probably in their mid to late 40s now. It goes fast y'all.
Hahaha I am the girl who gets the guy in the video. Just turned 41!
Sounds a bit like Running on Empty by Jackson Browne
I heard this song today at K-Mart
Oasis - stand by me
Got those Jackson Browne vibes
Garota motocross kkk
Singing aloud in Sprouts today...
Who here works at Lowes?
👂 at Walmart
Charmed got me here
Kinda sounds like "Urine Ocean"
He got that Jonathan Davis mouth going
When I first heard this song I really thought it was very depressing because what the song means to me is a guy sees a girl he likes but she already has a man.
