Goo Goo Dolls are fucking awesome! I love that Johnny gets a little distracted by the balloons and makes a mistake, but he doesn't let it stop him from delivering an INCREDIBLE performance!
Alejandro Manzano from Boyce Avenue once said this is his all time favorite song. It's cool Boyce got to open for them too. Goos are just a great band - one that America can be proud of.
She looked at me while watching this video and said, "How can you not feel anything?" It was one of our songs... I felt all of it; however, I didn't show it. I miss you Michelle...
Lyrics Baby's black balloon makes her fly I almost fell into that hole in your life And you're not thinking about tomorrow 'Cause you were the same as me But on your knees A thousand other boys could never reach you How could I have been the one I saw the world spin beneath you And scatter like ice from the spoon That was your womb Comin' down the world turned over And angels fall without you there And I go on as you get colder Or are you someone's prayer You know the lies that they always told you And the love you never knew What's the things they never showed you That swallowed the light from the sun Inside your room Comin' down the world turned over And angels fall without you there And I go on as you get colder Or are you someone's prayer And there's no time left for losin' When you stand they fall Comin' down the world turned over And angels fall without you there And I go on as you grow colder All because I'm Comin' down the years turn over And angels fall without you there And I'll go on to bring you home All because I'm All because I'm And I'll become What you became to me
Why did he say”why did that happen”, then laugh after the black balloons fell? Was it because the balloons released prematurely and should have been released at the beginning or end of the song?
@carlyanne927 no, its cuz the balloons are supposed to be shot out to the crowd and they got in his way and fucked him all up lol, that line made me luagh my ass off
I like how he's just standing still and not jumping around getting short of breath and not being able to sing the song right. I hate when singers do that, bro just sing the song!!!
The song, according to lead singer John Rzeznik, is based on a woman who is struggling with a heroin addiction and her lover who is desperately trying to save her. He has also said that it is about "seeing someone you love that is so great just screw up so bad." Speculation as to the exact subject matter of the song has also been attributed to the ex-wife of bassist Robby Takac (who had overdosed on heroin).
@tomdsongs not relevant my ass, i'm 14 and i love this band, and a LOT of my school mates would love to see their concerts too! and as much as it pains me, almost every 14- 16 year old girl in the world knows the song iris. They may not give their other stuff time, but they give the band credit for the song. THEY ARE AS RELEVANT AS EVER!
Gosh, I am SO glad he dumped that crappy sounding Guild for this recording...that Taylor sounds like a million bucks...just like the rest of the band. Probably one of the best live shows they ever did for record purposes.
@rapterchannel everyone above 20 knows who they are dummy, theyre just not relevant anymore, mostly bc of one factor...its not the 90s anymore! get over it already, i know its hard lol
The Goo Goo Dolls have the power to teleport my mind back to the 90s, where life was so simple, and wonderful!
It can be that way again and even better if you put Jehovah God first that higher power in your life instead of trying to do it on your own
John and Robby's voices blend perfectly
they're made for each other :)
One of the Goo Goo dolls best songs Hands down
Goo Goo Dolls are fucking awesome! I love that Johnny gets a little distracted by the balloons and makes a mistake, but he doesn't let it stop him from delivering an INCREDIBLE performance!
You can't stop the guy. He's a musical genius lol.
Thomas Taylor I loved it, he laughed.... cool if you ask me, he wasn't lip singing that's for sure....love it.....
So many good songs by John..so many. But for some reason this is my favorite song.
😅
They are not underrated, #1, #9, #24 spots on the top songs of 1992-2012 belong to them, it's just that people now don't appreciate good music
3:32 ....he's freaking chewing gum...while sounding THAT amazing....WHAT. A. BOSS. LONG LIVE GOO!!!!!!
Key of c sharp, and singing within his range.
1:26 wow the vocals sound so good 😭😭❤️❤️
Will always be my favorite song of the Goo Goo Dolls.
I loved it...he wasn't lip singin...he even chuckles....Great love it he has a great sense of humor
John Rzeznik is so lovely...lol. this song always brings back 90's memory....
Alejandro Manzano from Boyce Avenue once said this is his all time favorite song. It's cool Boyce got to open for them too. Goos are just a great band - one that America can be proud of.
Robby doesn't get enough credit. He's such a big part of the sound of the Goo Goo Dolls
I still love when they did Name on that early morning talk show with Jeff probes back in the day

Lyrics
Baby's black balloon makes her fly
I almost fell into that hole in your life
And you're not thinking about tomorrow
'Cause you were the same as me
But on your knees
A thousand other boys could never reach you
How could I have been the one
I saw the world spin beneath you
And scatter like ice from the spoon
That was your womb
Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Or are you someone's prayer
You know the lies that they always told you
And the love you never knew
What's the things they never showed you
That swallowed the light from the sun
Inside your room
Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Or are you someone's prayer
And there's no time left for losin'
When you stand they fall
Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you grow colder
All because I'm
Comin' down the years turn over
And angels fall without you there
And I'll go on to bring you home
All because I'm
All because I'm
And I'll become
What you became to me
❤❤❤❤
Why did he say”why did that happen”, then laugh after the black balloons fell? Was it because the balloons released prematurely and should have been released at the beginning or end of the song?
thanks ;)
@rapterchannel i prefer that only the good people with good taste in music hear goo goo dolls and we are those good people my friend XD
Why are they using a different tuning than the studio version?
he wrecks expensive acoustic guitars like a boss....totally punk rock
sold more than ten million albums worldwide.
💓😎
@carlyanne927 He's talkin bout the balloons that fell. Sounds like he didn't know it was gonna happen
Why doesnt john ever hit the high notes in live performances? He has the skilk to do it
Because he has to go back to back concerts on a strict schedule... he can do it but his voice wouldn’t last if he did it every night
so he doesn't loose his voice all together.john takes voice lessons weekly if not daily
They’re not underrated, they have many huge hits, especially from the 90s. It’s just that most people only know Iris for something reason lol
actually it only sold 3 million copies around the world
@carlyanne927 no, its cuz the balloons are supposed to be shot out to the crowd and they got in his way and fucked him all up lol, that line made me luagh my ass off
Beautiful song👌🎸
I like how he's just standing still and not jumping around getting short of breath and not being able to sing the song right. I hate when singers do that, bro just sing the song!!!
@bradabbottmusic oh okay thankss!
And even though he had to change the melody a bit cause he can't hit the high notes anymore, this is still such a beautiful song
The song is played a half step higher than the original version
black balloons... cute xD
Best band in the world... to underrated and so few ppl know about tham *sad*
why did he say 'why did that happen'? was it because he kinda messed up? haha i love goo goo dolls
isnt this song about heroin addiction?
Vanilla Ivy either this one or Iris, I forget
Vanilla Ivy yes it is. Still really beautiful and the guitar harmonics during the intro are IMO makes it a stellar piece of music
The song, according to lead singer John Rzeznik, is based on a woman who is struggling with a heroin addiction and her lover who is desperately trying to save her. He has also said that it is about "seeing someone you love that is so great just screw up so bad." Speculation as to the exact subject matter of the song has also been attributed to the ex-wife of bassist Robby Takac (who had overdosed on heroin).
0:55 john is so cute
Studio sound vs. Live sound
Gutter Flowers Album °2002
Man, they're sticking the harmonies on this one
@realcheesylogin
maybe cause is has been singing for 2 hours, and this is normal, all the singers does it. anyway a mistake could happen no?
That balloon drop was so tacky 😂
@tomdsongs not relevant my ass, i'm 14 and i love this band, and a LOT of my school mates would love to see their concerts too! and as much as it pains me, almost every 14- 16 year old girl in the world knows the song iris.
They may not give their other stuff time, but they give the band credit for the song. THEY ARE AS RELEVANT AS EVER!
@DantesTear ah, sorry lol, new youtube screwed me over.
I saw the @carlo88moe instead of the tiny ass user name at the bottom. My bad!
him and folgerberg...
Just think if you bought some bitcoin after this concert.
Dizzy Up The Girl Album Sold 100 Million Copies All Around the World.... John Rzeznik is a Great musician..
0 dislikes.
@rapterchannel What do you mean by "under-rated"? Look at the "like/dislike-bar". I would say that they are being rated farely! :)
goos should have never parted ways with mike the drummer 🥁
goo goos wont become goo goo f robby wasnt there
One person out there has a very bleak existence...
wow no more hittn those high notes eh?
Vocal noudles
Gosh, I am SO glad he dumped that crappy sounding Guild for this recording...that Taylor sounds like a million bucks...just like the rest of the band. Probably one of the best live shows they ever did for record purposes.
WTF ITS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT SONG W TF. W T F. HE just singing it how he just feels like. W T F.
@rapterchannel everyone above 20 knows who they are dummy, theyre just not relevant anymore, mostly bc of one factor...its not the 90s anymore! get over it already, i know its hard lol
He should've stayed away from the plastic surgery
I hate when Robby sings even tho he's a huge part of the band otherwis
Hit zero high notes.
