Keep in mind *they were 15 years old* when they recorded this song. 15 years old. And it's still a great fucking song. It's still held-up after 27 years and counting now.
*was* he's the definition of peaking way way way too early on your career. even compared to later silverchair albums (i don't dig his solo projects) the "maturity" as you said, and the techniche he had in his voice on Frogstomp is unmatched. unbelievable how young he was..
I’ve been a huge Silverchair fan since their inception. This track is still one of my favorite songs ever. The whole Frogstomp album is still one of my favorite albums ever. And I still listen it it to this day.
Same here Nick, well, since I discovered them in ‘96 when I was 16. I agree, Frogstomp is an iconic and epic mid-90s album that is excellent front to back. I was just obsessed with this album, my CD was so fucking scratched!
One of the best albums in rock of that decade for sure. We had Nirvana, Soundgarden, pearl jam, Alice in chains, silverchair, live, and many more to list
They like your age now. They are 5 years older than me. I am 30 years old now and they were 35. When I first hearf this song, I was in 4th grade then, 1995. Still, I love silverchair.
they are way back talented back then... until paul mac brainwash daniel johns and they are turning poppy... shud have done a thousand songs during the frogstomp era...
i would love to do smth like what they did, i love grunge and pearl jam, soundgarden and silverchair are my fav bans ngl. id die to go back to when grunge was at its peak.
I've been listening to this song for a couple of days to see if I can catch the Pearl Jam in it. I think the way the lyrics are structured feels very close to how Eddie Vedder writes his songs. But sound wise, to me, the way they execute feels more like Nirvana + Blind Melon. The Nirvana comes in the chorus with how hard they go with the yelling, guitar distortion and drums. Way to hard for Pearl Jam. In the verses there's a lightness that you can only get from a band from California, like Blind Melon... or one from Australia...
Saw these guys in the early 90s play at a high school auditorium in the Chicago suburbs, their opening act was this high energy girl, who nobody ever heard of with an amazing voice who absolutely gave an unforgettable performance, still remember it to this day, I was 5 feet away from her, it was Alanis Morissette.....Wow
I'm 59 and still in love with this song and the grunge movement. Grunge music understands my pain and sadness. It soothes my soul to know that I am not alone in my sorrow 😢.
I’m 60 grunge changed music for the better. Some of the best bands came from the 90s. An to know this kid was 15 an do this is amazing . So many are gone now ,
2021 and I haven't heard this in over twenty years! Music is an audible diary, it takes you back to a moment in time that you may not have otherwise ever remembered.
THIS SONG. F**KING ICONIC. I am so honoured to have grown up in the 90's with this incredible band. Aussie grunge deserved so much more. Daniel Johns, you are an absolute MASTER at what you do. There hasn't been one song that i haven't liked from you guys. That's just how f**king amazing you all are.
@@corey-bird3489 I don't think wit means what you think it does. Why would they try to use wit in saying what they were saying? Keep up. You also happen to just be listening to how a lot of Aussies casually chat.
I absolutely loved Silverchair in the 90s. Walking around, skipping school, smoking weed, being high, listening to Silverchair, debating with my bestest friend, Katie, as to why they were the best band. High AF!! Loved them times, miss you Katie!!
Had the privy of seeing these blokes live, mosh pit included at Coffs Harbour. Cannot replicate those memories. Thanks You Silverchair for memories I’ll forever cherish. “Those were the days”.
I'm 43 and this song came out when I was 15 and in the full throes of youthful rebellion and this song seemed to me derivative of "better" artists of the time... Now a couple decades later I'm discovering that they were underappreciated artists. :) Thanks for sharing your story and I hope you enjoyed mine.

I played in a couple of bands around that age, and these guys were really special. While he still hadn't grown into his voice yet when Frogstomp came out, these guys were light years ahead of where I was at this point. The attention to detail and overall song craft allowed them to create songs that still hold up all these years later, even as teenagers. They were really special, and I just wish that life had not gotten in the way.
Forget about Daniel for a moment here! Three 15 year old boys wrote this album which is freakin' outstanding... period... Miss these days! Great band, great album...
almost a 1/4 of the way into another century and yet still can remember when this came out and thought it was so cool and yet.... it still is...... its like a whole new era of music was generated by bands like this, PJ, STP, etc.... and as a metal head 80s fella.... can really appreciate it
I remember the first time I heard this song on 120 Minutes. Silverchair had been a part of my life since then!!! 37 now and my love for this band will never die!!!!!!
One of the most underrated bands ever imo These guys were 15 when they made Frogstomp and it rocks from start to finish. Daniel Johns is a great vocalist from that time and the songs were good.

Im drunk, forgive me. I'm from the UK. This band was never that big in the UK but I had this album on cd. It was fucking amazing and helped me through my teen years! Frogstomp will live me forever! Peace and respect to all
You must of been drunk the whole time! They were very popular in the uk...they toured over there a couple times, London at the electric ballroom, massive crowd
Into my 50’s now and still loving this from the UK, went to Australia in 97 and these were big back then, listening takes me straight back there - good times 🙌🏻❤️
So I grew up in the 80's listening to what has been called hair metal and rock. Bands such as Motley and Whitesnake. This song kicked my ass when I first heard in the 90's and still does. The passion in the voice combined with the mix of the song is amazing. The drummer as a great style and feel when he plays as well. Well done boys.
Silverchair has been one of my main stables of music I have always ran to in my life. This song in particular I can remember exactly where I was at when I seen it for the first time! I was young and it just imprinted itself permanently. Especially since they were all youngsters when they started. We've been able to grow up together and that's priceless ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you all for always being there!
I saw these guys live in early 1996 at the Australia big day out festival. I don’t expect I’ll ever see such young kids with such a massive sound and stage presence to match it - EVER AGAIN.
There's something almost chillingly beautiful about watching really young, talented musicians playing their own original music. Fantastic. As good as, or better than the first time i heard this.
what a time! what a band!!! I miss the 90s and Silverchair... and the freedom, the music, the rocking vibes, the confrontation, the normality of being "different" and/or "unique" ... and crazy teens going around screaming their souls out!
One of the most underrated snd super talented bands of all time! I will never understand why they weren't taken more seriously! Just because they were do young. They were still more talented than most bands their elder! The singer had a voice beyond his age and the whole band had talent beyond their elders! Totally miss these guys,!
@@andrewwoyak6908it's the youth of today that need to keep this alive. But you all missed out on the best times. Nothing will ever come close to how amazing it was living through this
I’m a lot younger than you and I remember this song from my school day. I loved these guys. Grunge was the best! I was 11 listening to nirvana and tool in Russia! Today they listen to Kardi B and gay rap. Times have definitely changed!
Lyrics It's twelve o'clock and it's a wonderful day I know you hate me but I'll ask anyway Won't you come with me to a place in a little town The only way to get there's to go straight down There's no bathroom and there is no sink The water out of the tap is very hard to drink Very hard to drink You wait til tomorrow You wait til tomorrow You say that money isn't everything But I'd like to see you live without it, You think you can keep on going living like a king, Oohh babe, but I strongly doubt it, Very hard to drink, Very hard to drink, You gonna wait too, fat boy, Fat boy, wait til tomorrow, You gonna wait too, fat boy, Fat boy, wait til tomorrow, You, wait til tomorrow, You, wait til tomorrow, You gonna wait too, fat boy, Fat boy, wait til tomorrow, You gonna wait too, fat boy, Fat boy, wait til tomorrow.
This has been for over 20 years, is and will always be my favorite song of all time. #2- whatever is too hard to pick but this one was easy for me. When my Dad put it on in the old truck back in probably 1999 it changed my life. Been playing and singing ever since. Thank you Silverchair. Llamas forever 🤘💙🤘

The song that started it all! Silverchair is my favorite band. Frog stomp and freak show were everything as a teenager. Then Neon Ballroom absolutely blew my mind. Still my favorite album ever. Plus diorama is another masterpiece
I was dessssperately in love with these guys when i was 12 lmao. Almost dropped piano to learn bass bc of these boys, but my mother wouldn't let me, despite my dad and my endless pleading. Whatever, my 15 y/o daughter can play 12 string acoustic like the goddamn devil, my father is teaching her beautifully!
Wait...... Your smart .....listen to things and how rock goes today... It's nice depending. That's where I holler at you, for the majority.... Any chance yinz can get back into the teenage flow? That's what put you here .....don't fix what isn't broken!!! Please build on that. That beat is our heart!!!!!!
I had "frog stomp" on cassette & about wore it out in my old cassette deck, blasting it outta my rear speakers... driving around my 1st car a 70 mustang. Still love their music! Great days of grunge!
My first car was a 83 Celica GT and my second car was a 1992 Pontiac Sunbird with a 5-speed my third car was a 85 Mustang 5.0 GT convertible for the 4-barrel carburetor and choke. God those were the days
Keep in mind *they were 15 years old* when they recorded this song. 15 years old. And it's still a great fucking song. It's still held-up after 27 years and counting now.
Exactly. 15. When I was 15 and I had private vocal coaching from 5th grade until graduation and worked at Wendy's.
well said mate (Syd, Aust) x
i'm 59 and still listening and singing along to this song!
If I’m not mistaken they wrote it when they were even younger.
He wrote it when he was 13 or 14 .

The maturity in Daniel Johns' voice at that age was so beyond his young years, it's mind-boggling how good he was/is.

Agreed! There's far more Peal Jam influence than Nirvana, which is opposite of what most people thought when they first dropped. Such a rad band.
I've been listening to this song for a couple of days to see if I can catch the Pearl Jam in it.
I think the way the lyrics are structured feels very close to how Eddie Vedder writes his songs. But sound wise, to me, the way they execute feels more like Nirvana + Blind Melon.
The Nirvana comes in the chorus with how hard they go with the yelling, guitar distortion and drums. Way to hard for Pearl Jam.
In the verses there's a lightness that you can only get from a band from California, like Blind Melon... or one from Australia...

Com certeza foi uma época sensacional! Foi uma das primeiras músicas que aprendia tocar no violão / guitarra!
Que?
In morroco listening to these boys so good...90s music best ever time
yayaya
Cheers from Taiwan
Im drunk, forgive me. I'm from the UK. This band was never that big in the UK but I had this album on cd. It was fucking amazing and helped me through my teen years! Frogstomp will live me forever! Peace and respect to all
Im sorry for the UK Then, you all missed out
All good brother
You must of been drunk the whole time! They were very popular in the uk...they toured over there a couple times, London at the electric ballroom, massive crowd
@@Hooligan71 I probably was drunk 😂
@@marccoulson8997 lol, ain't no shame in that
90's Alternative & Grunge 👍😎 it never gets old to me.
Hi I Recommend an indie song & video called 'Life changes' by Robert Nix
What ever happened to Silverchair?? I always loved this song. Clean vocals. I never knew they were this young. It IS more amazing!!!!
Danny went abstract and stopped bangin
I can not help but think that this is undervalued
Into my 50’s now and still loving this from the UK, went to Australia in 97 and these were big back then, listening takes me straight back there - good times 🙌🏻❤️
NEVER...GETS...OLD!!!! I love that crescendo at 1:30!!
He had a shockingly good voice for that age. A great rock front man.
So I grew up in the 80's listening to what has been called hair metal and rock. Bands such as Motley and Whitesnake. This song kicked my ass when I first heard in the 90's and still does. The passion in the voice combined with the mix of the song is amazing. The drummer as a great style and feel when he plays as well. Well done boys.
Silverchair has been one of my main stables of music I have always ran to in my life. This song in particular I can remember exactly where I was at when I seen it for the first time! I was young and it just imprinted itself permanently. Especially since they were all youngsters when they started. We've been able to grow up together and that's priceless ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you all for always being there!
Early 90’s grunge was awesome and these guys so young and sounded awesome!!!
Beyond the fact that this song is a timeless banger, Frogstomp is a helluva album. One of the best from the 90's.
I saw these guys live in early 1996 at the Australia big day out festival. I don’t expect I’ll ever see such young kids with such a massive sound and stage presence to match it - EVER AGAIN.
Yep 👍
I'm trying to think of something relative maybe when Faith no More was new
Or Alice in chains released dirt
They didnt play BDO '96
@@Spedly well it was around about then. My memory’s not that good sorry.
October 2024 checking in
the water out of the taps is still very hard to drink
I love the song tommorw
Hell yeah 😂❤
🤘🏼
Oy..
There's something almost chillingly beautiful about watching really young, talented musicians playing their own original music. Fantastic. As good as, or better than the first time i heard this.
Loved / Love this entire album so much.
what a time! what a band!!! I miss the 90s and Silverchair... and the freedom, the music, the rocking vibes, the confrontation, the normality of being "different" and/or "unique" ... and crazy teens going around screaming their souls out!
One of the most underrated snd super talented bands of all time! I will never understand why they weren't taken more seriously! Just because they were do young. They were still more talented than most bands their elder! The singer had a voice beyond his age and the whole band had talent beyond their elders! Totally miss these guys,!
Who in 2024 is already 40-something years old listening to this, what memories of our Unique Adolescence...
I’m 17 keeping this shit alive
@@andrewwoyak6908it's the youth of today that need to keep this alive. But you all missed out on the best times. Nothing will ever come close to how amazing it was living through this
❤
girl u ar old!
I'm 53 and still listening to this stuff!
How good is that intro. The guitar sound then the drums and bass joining in. Also one of my favourite guitar solos in this song.
I am 40 this year and the same age as these guys. It's amazing. Such a great song that is forever an embodiment of the 90s.
One of the best songs ever. Over and over . Never gets old
i played this none stop for a week , im 49 and still brings shivers down my spine when i hear this song, such memories
I Listen to this song today very often got lot of Memory
I’m a lot younger than you and I remember this song from my school day. I loved these guys. Grunge was the best! I was 11 listening to nirvana and tool in Russia! Today they listen to Kardi B and gay rap. Times have definitely changed!
I'll be 47 next month. Me too on the shivers.

U gotta hear this :) !!!
I'm 64, and the song beats the shit outta the crap that serves as "music" these days!
Lyrics
It's twelve o'clock and it's a wonderful day
I know you hate me but I'll ask anyway
Won't you come with me to a place in a little town
The only way to get there's to go straight down
There's no bathroom and there is no sink
The water out of the tap is very hard to drink
Very hard to drink
You wait til tomorrow
You wait til tomorrow
You say that money isn't everything
But I'd like to see you live without it,
You think you can keep on going living like a king,
Oohh babe, but I strongly doubt it,
Very hard to drink,
Very hard to drink,
You gonna wait too, fat boy,
Fat boy, wait til tomorrow,
You gonna wait too, fat boy,
Fat boy, wait til tomorrow,
You, wait til tomorrow,
You, wait til tomorrow,
You gonna wait too, fat boy,
Fat boy, wait til tomorrow,
You gonna wait too, fat boy,
Fat boy, wait til tomorrow.
Songwriters: Daniel Johns
wheres the fucking word that makes this song explicit i didn get it
Thanks
DeadCanDance I think this version is only explicit because of the coin sucking scene looking like a pp
Poor lyrics.
Hmm apparently im not the only one reliving the tunes of the 90's. 🎉
I saw these guys open for the chili peppers in Phoniex back in 96 and they were amazing. Best part of the show!
such an incredible song
Good Shit Ey!
+Neil Greatz the best shit!
+CANNIBoy better then your shit

I still love silverchair after God knows how many decades. Awesome band
😊
I dig that song so much, It gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it
Hell yeah it does buddy🤟🏻
This has been for over 20 years, is and will always be my favorite song of all time. #2- whatever is too hard to pick but this one was easy for me. When my Dad put it on in the old truck back in probably 1999 it changed my life. Been playing and singing ever since. Thank you Silverchair. Llamas forever 🤘💙🤘
The 90s-est 90s guitar sound ever. What a terrific song!
His voice, and those amazing lyrics, doesn't sound like a 17 year old boy... Daniel is such a genius, I miss SC
bronsonlee777 😱😱😱 oh my, he was really unbelieveble❤
Amazing lyrics? "The water out of the tap is very hard to drink.. very hard to driiiiink".
Peter Piper I'm sorry if u just listened to this phrase haha to understand a poem you have to interpretate all together, but I won't be the one who teach you that. bye
He was 15 or 16 :)
Lynn Rock Take a look to th-cam.com/users/KrisztianZapo
Uma das melhores bandas que já tive o prazer de conhecer e infelizmente subestimada.Daniel é um gênio como poucos. Viva o grunge!!!
@@PoderdosJogos não fala merda cara.
@@natykamiya3358 quem falou merda aq foi vc so falei a verdade agora para alguns ela e dolorosa. Infelizmente. Nao deixa de ser verdade. Ou ele ta tocando grunge ainda? Nao msm fanzinha
@@PoderdosJogos vc deve ser aqueles caras chatos que não gosta de Guns pq os caras tinha treta com Nirvana, ou fala que foo fighters é ruim pelo fato do Dave grohl ser ex baterista do nirvana. Cara vê se cresce estamos no século 21
@@natykamiya3358 Muito pelo contrário, amo FF e adoro muitas do Guns, não que isso seja da sua conta, seu conselho serve perfeitamente pra vc menininha mimada que em pleno Sec 21 não sabe conviver nem respeitar opiniões contrárias a sua. Creça, ainda há esperança, o Silver abandonou o Rock, vá estudar que é melhor pra vc. abç
Very hard to drink...
I'm a grown ass man at 42 and my gf heard me singing this song as was like wow u. Can sing this well . I said I'm been loving it since 1996 and I'm 42 so I better love it
The song that started it all!
Silverchair is my favorite band.
Frog stomp and freak show were everything as a teenager. Then Neon Ballroom absolutely blew my mind. Still my favorite album ever. Plus diorama is another masterpiece
2020 with this great song
Everyday man
Mantaapp
Same
Never gets old maaaannn!!!!
🇧🇷 São Paulo _ Brasil _ Julho _2020 🇧🇷
Slay those vocals.
Speaks volumes about the hugest current issues
Please elaborate.
Ok well they were talking about greed. Water is getting cleared up, drinking water
Calling out Chump in the 90s...and as kids, love it
I was dessssperately in love with these guys when i was 12 lmao. Almost dropped piano to learn bass bc of these boys, but my mother wouldn't let me, despite my dad and my endless pleading. Whatever, my 15 y/o daughter can play 12 string acoustic like the goddamn devil, my father is teaching her beautifully!
Always loved silverchair..they seemed talented beyond their years.
Can I throw out a nomination I'd say best song in the world that's not well known?
Go Stiller's!! 6 trophy's and counting! Plus these dudes rock! Always will. We love. Unconditionally!!!
Wait...... Your smart .....listen to things and how rock goes today... It's nice depending. That's where I holler at you, for the majority.... Any chance yinz can get back into the teenage flow? That's what put you here .....don't fix what isn't broken!!! Please build on that. That beat is our heart!!!!!!
Love all of these positive comments. They got so much hate back then, and I couldn’t understand it. I was a teenager and this song sounded amazing.
I had "frog stomp" on cassette & about wore it out in my old cassette deck, blasting it outta my rear speakers... driving around my 1st car a 70 mustang. Still love their music! Great days of grunge!
My first car was a 83 Celica GT and my second car was a 1992 Pontiac Sunbird with a 5-speed my third car was a 85 Mustang 5.0 GT convertible for the 4-barrel carburetor and choke. God those were the days
I am so glad I have discovered this band. as a 16 yr old this is awsome to see these guys.
You can do anything!
im blessed !! this song is about my hometown i grew up in !!
I was in Australia for 3 months. I didn't want to leave.
The quality of the sound and production is topnotch! To think they were just in their mid-teens at the time. Its definitely imindblowing.
Holy shit I've never heard of this band, they are soooo good
💙 I growed up with these guys. You have to hear the full album FROGSTOMP (then FREAK SHOW) and will love them.
Its about the time to know them more 👍
They used to be my absolute favourite band growing up. This is is probably their best song though to be honest.
Sptotify recomendations anyone?
they were from down the road from where I live no, Newcastle, Aust xx
59 and srill loving this song! 🎉❤
I am 52 and still love them! The lead singer has such a great voice!!! Adorable too!!❤
