There will never be a time again like the 90's. I'm 48 as of writing this, was 15 in 1990 and wow, best decade of my life. If you haven't lived it, you'll never understand. Give a like if you remember when MTV was really MUSIC TV! PS - REAL social media is hanging with a bunch of friends, pounding out great music and just enjoying each other's company. I want to go back!
I turned 15 in 1990 as well. The 90s gave us some of the greatest music across all genres. Great albums and phenomenal one hit wonders. You could of $5 in the gas tank, another $5 on a pint Seagram's gin, put $5 together with a friend get a dime bag of good weed, $3.21 for a value combo from the drive thru your choosing. The New World Order we were looking for when 2000 came in wound up being the New Woke Order.
@@cadillacblack6488 That was my life story back then too. I lived in AZ along the Colorado River, and I remember the bonfires we had. Someone would bring a radio, others drinks or what not, and we'd spend all night just handing out, toss back brews, making out wit our girls and just having a great old time. Yeah, too bad the New Woke Order is here. The 90's were something very special.
I feel a bit of sadness at times watching music videos of 1990's hit songs. That decade meant so much to me. Yes, every decade had its BS, but the 1990's for the most part was so awesome. The music, movies, TV shows, video games, sports moments, the fashion...I miss it all. The fact that those were my teen years make me love the 1990's even more. Songs like this were the soundtrack to the most carefree times of my life. I love my life now, but I'll never have as much fun as I did back then.
So true. I'm glad I experienced it. I was born in '80. The 90s were awesome time for a teenager. It seemed a freer friendlier time, people weren't so friggin negative and self-absorbed with a phone glued to their hand like they do now. I have a phone but rarely use it.
I was born in 82' my little brother and I had a riot. Cruising around on our Huffy bikes listening to our Walkmans. The late 80s and 90s were an awesome time to be a kid, freedom. I'm 40 now and have 5 kids of my own. It's a different time and I'm not thrilled about the direction we are headed.
Born in 82 as well. This hits World's fucked. I never had kids as I could never come to terms with subjecting person to this life. I'm sure I missed out on a lot on being a parent.
There's something particularly painful about nineties nostalgia. I would give up my smartphone to live in the 90s forever. it can take Facebook with it. better days
Great tune and artist. We tried with my friend from R&O to review this great song. Maybe we succeed, maybe not, we let you be the judge if you have two or three minutes to spare and a thumb up or down to add, come listen and judge us here :-) : th-cam.com/video/gNY9T4QVcdk/w-d-xo.html and stay safe
Emerson Hart wrote this song after a tense phone call with his mother. Hart was 21 years old and planning to get married (not what his mother had in mind...). She tried to talk him out of it, but you can't argue with love. Emerson told her "If you could only see the way she loves me, then maybe you would understand", and then he hung up. With his fire sparked, Hart started writing the song, and it came very quickly, with him taking aim at his mother's "manipulations" and "lies" during the strident verses, then slowing it down to present his side of the story in the chorus. The song was very cathartic and helped him work out his feelings, but in the end his mother was right: it didn't work out with the girl and they never got married.
And his mother has a popular TH-cam channel giving beauty and other advice to older women. The must have made up, she lived in a cottage in back of his mansion and always talks about her rock star son.
@@danbraun8430 My ex husband was a bum.. . His mother was overbearing aanndd didn't like me even though I just tried to better his life.. . Hell I even tried to get him to be responsible aanndd I had to get a divorce bc she didn't want me around.. . Sucked. I do have a new bf now and I'm currently doing my best to make sure he does good in life. I got my ex husband a good paying job. I got us an apartment. I put us on the lane for a very successful and happy life. Too bad he fucked it up by cheating one me and hitting me :'(.. . But hey that's in the past aanndd my new bf is much better and appreciates that I try to do good ^-^
"Seems the road less traveled... shows happiness unraveled." Absolutely powerful and amazing line. This song has stood the test of time. Working on that time machine to the 90s.
I'm from Ohio but I moved to Hawaii in the 80s and SoCal in the 90s... Those were great times but having a family today beats those times by a mile. Though I can't surf big waves as often in Toledo
@@briansnyder3948 agreed. Best times of my life. No social media bullshit. Nothing beat driving around with friends listening to music on a Friday or Saturday night
I hear it about every day in a local rock station in Pittsburgh, WDVE... It never gets old...This was always a favorite of mine! Although, I had to look up when it was released, and I was floored that it came out in March 1997, around this time of the month... I was going on 25... I thought it came out in early 2000...Shows how fast that time went! ❤
I really wish I could’ve :( I wasn’t around then but I still listen to the music and it’s awesome. The things people wore were great too-mainly the converse all stars (sometimes), jeans, t-shirts, and hats, etc..
I sometimes think its just nostalgia and maybe it wasnt that great, but the longer i dwell on it, the mid 90's to the first few years of the 00's were really a fantastic time.
What I miss most about the 90s was the variety of music on mainstream radio. In the Top 40 you had pop, rock, dance, hip-hop, country etc. and it felt like great variety. Today's mainstream radio seems to play very samey-sounding music, and you now have to dig deeper to find songs you really enjoy. Maybe I'm just getting old, haha.

I consider myself very fortunate to have been born in 1959. I was old enough to truly enjoy the incredible music of the 70's, managed a record store in the early to mid 80's, another decade that produced some great music and then recognized the talented bands of both the Grunge and Alternative genres of the 90's. There have been a handful of great bands during the past two decades, but IMHO nothing like the music I was blessed to have grown up with, up to and including the 90's. 🎶 📻 🎶 🎸 🎶 🎹 🎶 🎤 🎶 🥁 🎶 🎻 🎶 🎧 🎶
The 90s were a perfect combination of chaos and peace. Life was so simple and complex. That era was a complete example of yin and yang. Miss it and my kids will never know it... such is a shame
I went through this. Nobody thought we'd make it. Not her parents, our friends, family...nobody. That was 30 years ago. We just celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary. Always hold onto what's inside. It's the only thing that truly matters.
Good for you, nobody stays together anymore. My husband and I have been married 34 years. People will always try to ruin what is good by interfering. I hope you are happy and living the good life w/ your honey ❣️
I was 12. The 90s were a special time to be that age. One foot I genx and one in the bext generation/era with early advent of the internet but before a post 9/11 world and social media/smartphones.
Hell yeah Kimbra circa 1983 right here as well. Boy them 90s sure we're something. When the Internet blew up everything felt as if it was about to be changing for the better. Shit nowadays it's like STOP PLEASE with the changes! I mean sure things that have seriously needed to change have begun to, but look at the shit that's had to happen to start that change.
And movies as well 💪💪💪💪 and of course the fashion, LONG LIVE THE 90'S FOREVER, THE GREATEST DECADE EVER IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND, everything about the 90's is just so perfect 💪💪💪💪🍻🍻🍻🍻
@@realisticthought1781 Well, given that the 90s was the last time a president was impeached I'm going to have to disagree with you that nobody cared about politics, lol!
It’s 2022 and loudly proudly I still say that was the decade for alternative. The lyrics, the space between the verses and the chorus that gave you time to just rock out in thought, in the moment. Gen x in slow motion baby
Eden beautifully written to describe the decadent decade of the 90's. Tonic, AIC, The Fly "Got you were I want you" , Sound Garden, Pearl Jam, The Wallflowers, Collective soul and many others that really took us to the next level of kick-ass great 🎵. Like you said Eden "Gen X in-slow-motion baby!!!"
@@raymondurbina2893 Nice👍I introduced my younger and older coworkers to these songs. "Got you where I want you" sticks in their heads haha. So many one hit wonders but they all have that 90's sound. I'm going thru a 90's kick recently and that song was the first one I wanted to hear. "Open up your eyes", "Starseed", "Shelf in the room", the list goes on...
+nappybiscuit Hell I'm 14 and I know what it is like to starve because your family didn't have enough to buy food because it was all being used on taxes and my moms collage. They hated seeing how fast I was growing up compared to everyone else. You thought life was tough try living in what I used to. Can't wait to see what is is like when I get out :/.
+abel sanchez Don't get me wrong, teenage years are very tough. If I could go back in time to any age it would never be my teen years. Now if you are still living at home in your 30s odds are you had it too good.
Bring back the 80s and 90s... Please come back!!!!! That's when music was music, i miss it so much. Btw im 53 and raised my kids to listen to it and they love it so much.
My Army example is if you get a single MRE (prepacked meal) but as you hungrily get it unpacked and ready to prep & chow down, say you drop the Beef Pattie main course out of its container, onto the sand/dirt/grit below? My Drill Sergeant said that was "a secret blend of herbs & spices...the Army supplies free, anywhere in the world you may ever be..." The point: you eat it. It will make for a great self-deprecating true story to share later, and you'll be ready for the NEXT time you do it, and just hope you don't lose grip on the prized pasta MRE...the ground pebbles, tiny slivers of old, broken beer bottles, and ant carcasses *may* make for an exciting presentation of your al-dente treat after "re-plating," but I had - sadly - poorer result.
My USMC story: accidentally putting the MRE salt packet in your cold instant MRE coffee. And drinking it anyway because it's coffee and you won't get anything else. Things are as good (or as bad) as you make them. It's a choice.
Well I am older so I grew up with the Beatles, Eric Clapton, Led Zep, Jethro Tull and saw hundreds if not a thousand shows. Oh and the Rolling Stones. Lots of bands you may not know of. Every era has had and will continue to have great and crappy music too. I saw these guys two days in a row when they toured with one of my fave bands STIR. Check them out. Happy Independence Day!
@@stevenmercer8299 yea brother. A lot of good bands you mentioned, Im a huge music lover and I listen to just about everything. I play music as well and grew up listening to bands from the 50s - 90s . I definitely think older music is more of an art or better quality, as well as movies that were made in the 80s and before. The technology wasn't there that we have now so the artist or movie director had to really be creative back then . With that being said , I think they did an amazing job with what they had to work with. Now anyone can make a tune and make up a few lines , put it on TH-cam and become famous.
Never heard this before! It's so me.... Especially back in the 90s.... Vertical Horizon, Fuel, Collective Soul... What a great era that never made the mainstream!!!
I'm 54, I'd probably be going through a mid life crisis right now if not for music that keeps me sane. I remember hearing this song in the mid 90's, when people knew how to relate to each other w/o cell phones and facebook. This is a great one I recall, to go along with Fuel "Hemmorhage" and Offspring "Gone away".
In before 2020! No but seriously. I still remember the morning, don't remember the exact day but it was December of '97, waking up miserable and heading to work at 3:30AM, getting out to my car and hearing this song on the radio and just being reminded that life was not so bad. Thanks Tonic, I needed it.
I lost my adored son, Kyle on January 21,2018...at the very young age of 20, it’s completely broken me & made time stand still...me & Kyle’s father we’re so in love when this song was a radio hit...I remember we’d always talk about Kyle when we got a night out, but several instances I recall driving home to Kyle in my Nissan 240sx(remember those;)this song was playing & I was driving and singing it to my exhusband (& Kyle, everything was for him)& our love was so huge, you could feel the energy pull our souls into one, we had our ups and downs for many years...we had good & we had horrible but nothing have we ever had like losing Kyle, he made us family, this song can mean so many things to so many people, so many stories of love...music is powerful...love prevails. God Bless Everyone...be happy and thankful for what you have, people die, it happens, death does not discriminate! Love deeply, stand for something, work hard & when it comes down to it...you really don’t need that fancy car, all you need are the people you love ❤️🦋⭐️
I'm very sorry for your loss. It really is great that we can share in the experience of music like this no matter our background, one of the beautiful things about life.
Bless you I lost my 20 year old son 11/22/15 I’m sorry you know that pain but Kyle and Jacob aren’t gone they’re just living somewhere else right now I know he’s with my daddy right now who he is most like of my four boys. Thank you for sharing
Sorry my names Frank, I think my 14 year old Asher logged into his TH-cam on my phone Lol... Anyway I agree with and feel the same about much of what you wrote. Music is one of out greatest gifts to help us enjoy life. It is at times like a time machine we can enter. I sing and have as long as I can remember and three of my boys and one of my daughters are the same. Jacob taught himself to play guitar as well as sing. You’re right we’re all headed that way after a season. One of the amazing things that has come from his death is it his broadened my love for people which I always have loved people but it’s like I see him in every young man or woman and they are my adopted kids. Sounds corny I know but that’s truly how I feel when I meet them. They have to listen to my correction and guidance. Lol Well God bless you and your family and hold you in His arms when you hurt.
Reading through the comments, I realize I was born at THE perfect time...1970. Bee Gees for kindergarten. 80's as a teen. 90's in my 20's... perfection ❣️❣️❣️
I'm going to be 30 in October, I grew up listening to this music & honestly, all I could wish for the younger generation is to open their eyes. Your parents love you, your family loves you. It might not be apparent at times, but in the end, it doesn't matter. All that matters is how you play the cards you're dealt. Just some words of wisdom from someone who's turning 30 in a few months ;) good luck to everyone though. Some of us have abusive loved ones & sometimes it is better to get away from the negativity. Just stay strong 💪 🙏 ❤ sending much love to all of you
What day in October? I turned 30 on October 5th ;). Good stuff. I still don't feel all old and enlightened 😝. For whatever reason I once thought I'd have it all figured out at 30. Haaaaaaa
53, and you said it right hun. Family is the all. Your real family, the ones who have your back no matter what. Bound by more than blood. They’re there to make you a better person. If they don’t bring you up, get away from them. Just make sure you know up from down first. Teenagers seldom do.
Fun fact: THIS was the song that got me into playing a guitar, i was only 9 back then when this song came out (1997), im 32 this year & a father of a 4 years old daughter, feeding her this tune every now & then, hope she can pick up a guitar soon so that i could jam this song together with her, much love from Kuala Lumpur 🇲🇾
@@janicecowley3743 Great to hear that! I've always planned on visiting the US to visit a couple of buddies in Fort Lauderdale Florida (American work colleagues here in KL, they went back to the US 4 years ago) Hope i get the chance to go there soon. Since the whole world is affected by this Covid pandemic, stay safe & enjoy your guitar lesson, its never too late to learn something new!
@@candiceyoung8244 You are so welcome! I do get knocked down everyone does you just have to get back up. It took me 6 years to get back up. Delt with so much pain lossing my dad. He was my rock always in my corner. It still hurts and I do still have moment's of bailing my eyes out but it's weird feels like a good cry. Sometimes we hold so much in at once then we explode. But anyways thing's have gotten better. My kids are 16 and 14 I have a God daughter who's my princess shes 5 and a new god son who's my prince he's a month old today. 💜💚💜💚💜💚💜💚💜💚💜💚
One weekend in the early 2000's my friend of 20 years and I sang this song in harmony on the way home from a local pub. When the song was done we just sat in silence the rest of the way home. That was the last time I saw him alive. I didn't know in the 90's what the song would come to mean or how important it would be for me to listen to today.
Sorry mate. It was Live Forever for me and my mate. I left England two days later and in a week he was gone. We jammed to this one on our road trip to Scotland.
My condolences to those posting and sharing this same type of experience. There's something about the last ride or road trip with a close friend and singing a specific song, completely unaware that this will be the last time you'll ever see them.... And the power that song has, to the memory of the friend you lost. Bittersweet. David 1992 Disarm Smashing Pumpkins
@@staciemckenty-assal8949 - I was born in 68. The 80's was my coming of age decade, unfortunately. The whirlwind that was the 80's with its synthesized drums and lycra wearing pop music pretenders. It was a nightmare of shit music and rap. During that time I would prefer listening to some one scratching their nails on a blackboard. However in the mid eighties I found The Animals The Who Rolling Stones etc etc. I quit radio and almost missed the 90's. I called grunge angry white boy music.
So many will never understand the absolute perfection of this song. So much raw emotion - angst, passion, longing. It's been one of my all-time favorite songs since I first heard it!
I only had 3 CDs in my car as a teen in the 90s - Gin Blossom's "New Miserable Experience", Live's "Throwing Copper", and Tonic's "Lemon Parade". Didn't need anything else. Didn't want anything else.
To be alive and content in any decade is wonderful. I'm a 70's teen and have special memories from then. I've got special memories in every decade since also. Strive to be content with life. Not saying settle but when times are rough remember the good things. You will find you also will have cherished memories from ever era in you life too. I love music also from before I was born in 1959. Music helps you relive your life. Every genre of music is special to me.
+D.L. Young nah. Because these are Gibsons. Nowadays guys want Kiesel and Other crazy manufacturer guitars that cost about the same as a Gibson. .....For Djent. Yeah. Guess you're right.
If you could only see the way she loves me Then maybe you would understand Why I feel this way about our love And what I must do If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says When she says she loves me Well you got your reasons And you got your lies And you got your manipulations They cut me down to size Sayin' you love but you don't You give your love but you won't If you could only see the way she loves me Then maybe you would understand Why I feel this way about our love And what I must do If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says When she says she loves me Seems the road less traveled Show's happiness unraveled And you got to take a little dirt To keep what you love That's what you gotta do Sayin' you love but you don't You give your love but you won't You're stretching out your arms to something that's just not there Sayin' you love where you stand Give your heart when you can If you could only see the way she loves me Then maybe you would understand Why I feel this way about our love And what I must do If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says When she says she loves me Sayin' you love but you don't You give your love but you won't Sayin' you love where you stand Give your heart when you can If you could only see the way she loves me Then maybe you would understand Why I feel this way about or love And what I must do If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says When she says she loves me
@Jamel James It is just because you're being nostalgic towards that decade. The same opinions go with all other generations i'm sure lol but agree 90's had the best shit for sure
OGkush2011 every generation will look back and nostalgically long for that magic of their youth to return. However the world was rapidly changing and information technology matured. Before people could steal whole catalogs of record companies with a few clicks they put a lot of resources into finding and producing stellar talent. The factors that produced certain media will not repeat and things are only fresh once. You can also argue for every positive that comes with time and change comes a negative. Its up to each of us to dwell on the positives to stay happy.

Omg seriously? This song, “Crash” by Dave Matthews band and “Cumbersome” by Seven Mary 3 reminds me of the SAME exact situation back in 1996. I just turned 22 and started dating a 34 y/o and she really messed with my mind
I saw Tonic live in 1999, and they sounded even better live than on the recording. They were 100x better than the band they were supporting on that tour. This song was perhaps my favorite from my high school years. Just a wonderful song, still as great 2 decades later.
I love this song my ex died of cancer last year I miss him are ages were only five years apart and we kind of listen to a lot of the same music except for I liked heavy metal RIP ❤LOVE YOU 2:04
This was from a time before social media. I was 20-21 when this came out and I viewed the world MUCH differently back then. The internet and social media has caused me to view people in a rather negative way. It’s sad. I was better off not knowing everyone’s opinions on everything like now.
That couple never made it, everyone was against them. If the families won't accept it sure can tear your relationship apart. Yes,.I have learned from experience twice over now.
+desertsun100-really!? You think 90s music was crap!? What bands made you hate that era. I loved that time for music. Since I'm older now I still listen to a lot of music, but no one stands out as the one top groups of this time (as least for me anyway) but I could still appreciate it.
@@ScarTactic5 while I get that, when he's talking about how blue her eyes are, it's when she's saying she loves him. So why would she be sad when she's saying she loves him?
You know why ? Because the 80's was the best time to be alive. I was jus 8 years old in 1989 but i remember those last 4 years from 85 to 89 and that my friend is pure gold in my brain.
For me there certainly is a bittersweet flavor to the nineties and the music from that time. My life turned upside down and I became estranged from my wife and children.
I saw and heard these guys for the first time when my unit was deployed to Kosovo in 2000. Very awesome group! I still have a drumstick from the drummer.
Haha, I'll meet you there! I know it's a little late for a reply but there was so much great music in the 90's that a week isn't enough to hear/enjoy it all.
Emerson Hart and Jeff Russo...are two of the best song writer's that I've ever heard... Love those guys had a great night out with those guys... Will never forget it!!... Susan Marshall and Jeff Powell!!!
After hearing that the the lead singer ended up not marrying the girl this song is about; I am still glad he wrote it. The only part of the story that is different for me is that I ended up marrying the blue eyed girl who says she loves me. We’re still deeply passionate and in love, have three wonderful boys, and a blast being together most days. Our commitment to each other is for life, no matter who that makes uncomfortable or upset.
I'm not sure what his truth is but I just love him. Everyone judges me, everyone as if it is their business and they are God. He says, my partner, that it will never end and my brother says only answers to my questions. No judgement, he is a man of God. This becoming impossible. Will he only hurt and destroy me in the end, are they right? I just don't have the answers. I'm afraid to ask God for approval.
This is truly an amazing song I've been a musician on my life I'm 60 years old I'll tell you right now... This is a truly wonderful song written about a man who is in love with a girl in an abusive relationship but finds a new one... Soon to be set free
Reminds me of when I was 19 gorgeous dating a narc and 6 years later I lost a child from one then 7 years later my dad and two men I loved dearly. And I know what I’d done differently these narcissistic people destroy years it important we ALL keep them OUT narc freeworld pharma free world Lyme free world vaccines free world 🥰
I'm 25yrs old now i am so happy to hear this song even tho i live here in asia Philippines. very thankful to my father who collect some of alternative music ❤

There will never be a time again like the 90's. I'm 48 as of writing this, was 15 in 1990 and wow, best decade of my life. If you haven't lived it, you'll never understand. Give a like if you remember when MTV was really MUSIC TV! PS - REAL social media is hanging with a bunch of friends, pounding out great music and just enjoying each other's company. I want to go back!
80s too ! Awesome
Born in 67. Best of 80s and 90s and this ranks right up there for sure!
I turned 15 in 1990 as well. The 90s gave us some of the greatest music across all genres. Great albums and phenomenal one hit wonders.

Go Bs

Glad to see all of you here. This song must not be forgotten.
It's pretty fucking epic 🤘😎🤘
It’s for any blue eyed girl that you can’t take your mind off of
I feel a bit of sadness at times watching music videos of 1990's hit songs. That decade meant so much to me. Yes, every decade had its BS, but the 1990's for the most part was so awesome. The music, movies, TV shows, video games, sports moments, the fashion...I miss it all. The fact that those were my teen years make me love the 1990's even more. Songs like this were the soundtrack to the most carefree times of my life. I love my life now, but I'll never have as much fun as I did back then.
So true. I'm glad I experienced it. I was born in '80. The 90s were awesome time for a teenager. It seemed a freer friendlier time, people weren't so friggin negative and self-absorbed with a phone glued to their hand like they do now. I have a phone but rarely use it.
@@ChrisG3253032 I was born in '81. Fun times indeed.
You said it.
Rite on Bro!
I feel ya...born in the 80s, happy teenage years in the 90s..I only play 90s music while working from home every day.. very nostalgic ='(
One of the best songs of that Era...Definitely underated
well said, but i still hope tiktok does't find it
I disagree! They did well!
@@nohatebutioffend4463 TikTok ruins music, I hate that app so much
Yessss
yes Definitely overrrated
they don't make music like this anymore.
What are you talking about, I hear music like that all the time. You just have to know where to look.
I agree. Im older but Im open to all music. If it moves you and speakes to you go with it. So much emotion.
@@markstephens3228 nah hes right im 39 grew up with this tell me whats like it jabroni
only underground, mainstream anymore
They didn't😅 make music like this BEFORE then either.
I was born in 82' my little brother and I had a riot. Cruising around on our Huffy bikes listening to our Walkmans. The late 80s and 90s were an awesome time to be a kid, freedom. I'm 40 now and have 5 kids of my own. It's a different time and I'm not thrilled about the direction we are headed.
i feel you brother
Born in 82 as well. This hits World's fucked. I never had kids as I could never come to terms with subjecting person to this life. I'm sure I missed out on a lot on being a parent.
ou know Thinkgs Like Rapture (Only in 2045) lol. Goodnight I'm so peacfully sleepy Now
I am sooooo with you there!
1982 too Here too.....its true. Seeing my kids today .... it makes me kinda sad.
There's something particularly painful about nineties nostalgia.
I would give up my smartphone to live in the 90s forever. it can take Facebook with it. better days
Ignorance IS bliss
what a dream for all social media to disappear lol
Kirstin Doll why dont hackers all around the world connect and shut the entire internet down?
I would sell my soul for Myspace again
That and Linkin Park 4 Me
This is probably one of the best songs to ever be played consistently on the radio that never got old.
Great tune and artist. We tried with my friend from R&O to review this great song. Maybe we succeed, maybe not, we let you be the judge if you have two or three minutes to spare and a thumb up or down to add, come listen and judge us here :-) : th-cam.com/video/gNY9T4QVcdk/w-d-xo.html and stay safe
Yes!!!
Love this song haven’t heard it in ages until yesterday
Pastorino Olivier very time
@@scarlettjoy9561 Couldn't agree more.
Emerson Hart wrote this song after a tense phone call with his mother. Hart was 21 years old and planning to get married (not what his mother had in mind...). She tried to talk him out of it, but you can't argue with love. Emerson told her "If you could only see the way she loves me, then maybe you would understand", and then he hung up. With his fire sparked, Hart started writing the song, and it came very quickly, with him taking aim at his mother's "manipulations" and "lies" during the strident verses, then slowing it down to present his side of the story in the chorus. The song was very cathartic and helped him work out his feelings, but in the end his mother was right: it didn't work out with the girl and they never got married.
And his mother has a popular TH-cam channel giving beauty and other advice to older women. The must have made up, she lived in a cottage in back of his mansion and always talks about her rock star son.
That is very sad. Thank you for the explanation on the song. It was very useful.
It didn't work out bc of his mom.. . That's sad.
@@Ww-pf3bc I should of listened to my mom. Now I am addicted to drugs with her and broke.
@@danbraun8430 My ex husband was a bum.. .
His mother was overbearing aanndd didn't like me even though I just tried to better his life.. . Hell I even tried to get him to be responsible aanndd I had to get a divorce bc she didn't want me around.. . Sucked. I do have a new bf now and I'm currently doing my best to make sure he does good in life.
I got my ex husband a good paying job.
I got us an apartment. I put us on the lane for a very successful and happy life. Too bad he fucked it up by cheating one me and hitting me :'(.. . But hey that's in the past aanndd my new bf is much better and appreciates that I try to do good ^-^
80's and 90's back then. Couldn't wait for the year 2000.
Now, I wanna go back. 😫😭
"Seems the road less traveled... shows happiness unraveled." Absolutely powerful and amazing line. This song has stood the test of time. Working on that time machine to the 90s.
that was my senior quote, class of 1998
My dad used to tell me when I was a kid in the 90s that we were living through the best times this world has ever seen.
The 80's was awesome too. And the 70's. 2000's? not so much. Tech is awesome but I'd give it all up to go back to those simpler times.
And he was right x
He was right.
I'm from Ohio but I moved to Hawaii in the 80s and SoCal in the 90s... Those were great times but having a family today beats those times by a mile. Though I can't surf big waves as often in Toledo
He was correct. I don't think you can get better than the 1990's, last great decade.
To be a teen in the 90's... nothing short of a blessing, what a time! 😍
Amen toooo that . Early 90s as a teenager was definitely very awesome. Wouldn't change it for the world.
@@briansnyder3948 agreed. Best times of my life. No social media bullshit. Nothing beat driving around with friends listening to music on a Friday or Saturday night
Being in my early 20's back then wasn't such a bad thing either ... now it's all gone haywire!!!
@@nealj2523 no doubt. And them too
fuck yeah, 18 when i fucking jammed to this in my moms stolen car, driving too fast over Mt Tam over the hill to Bo in west Marin
I hear it about every day in a local rock station in Pittsburgh, WDVE...
It never gets old...This was always a favorite of mine! Although, I had to look up when it was released, and I was floored that it came out in March 1997, around this time of the month...
I was going on 25...
I thought it came out in early 2000...Shows how fast that time went! ❤
I'm from Pittsburgh as well. This is one of my favorite alternative rock songs from the 90s.
I was 17 back in 1997 when Tonic debut.
God the 90's were so much fun. I feel bad for anyone who didn't get to experience such a wonderful time!
I really wish I could’ve :( I wasn’t around then but I still listen to the music and it’s awesome. The things people wore were great too-mainly the converse all stars (sometimes), jeans, t-shirts, and hats, etc..
the 80's were great too..
I sometimes think its just nostalgia and maybe it wasnt that great, but the longer i dwell on it, the mid 90's to the first few years of the 00's were really a fantastic time.
80's and 90's were great times. So many great memories that are linked to the amazing music that my brother and I got to experience.
What I miss most about the 90s was the variety of music on mainstream radio. In the Top 40 you had pop, rock, dance, hip-hop, country etc. and it felt like great variety. Today's mainstream radio seems to play very samey-sounding music, and you now have to dig deeper to find songs you really enjoy. Maybe I'm just getting old, haha.
AND YOU'VE GOT TO TAKE A LITTLE DIRT TO KEEP WHAT YOU LOVE
Love that lyric!
Great tune and artist. We tried with my friend from R&O to review this great song. Maybe we succeeded, maybe not, we let you be the judge if you have two or three minutes to spare and a thumb up or down to add, come listen and judge us here :-) : th-cam.com/video/gNY9T4QVcdk/w-d-xo.html and stay safe
Read this as he said it
Oh how true that statement is
Some of us learn that part too late after we've already lost what we loved...
It's not a lyric a lyric is one word that's a verse/ phrase
I consider myself very fortunate to have been born in 1959. I was old enough to truly enjoy the incredible music of the 70's, managed a record store in the early to mid 80's, another decade that produced some great music and then recognized the talented bands of both the Grunge and Alternative genres of the 90's. There have been a handful of great bands during the past two decades, but IMHO nothing like the music I was blessed to have grown up with, up to and including the 90's. 🎶 📻 🎶 🎸 🎶 🎹 🎶 🎤 🎶 🥁 🎶 🎻 🎶 🎧 🎶
I was born in 59 also , and totally agree !
Still lots of great music being made by talented artists, you just need to look for it.
The 90s were a perfect combination of chaos and peace. Life was so simple and complex. That era was a complete example of yin and yang. Miss it and my kids will never know it... such is a shame
a celebration of nihilism
90s was nothing but peace for me. No chaos until after the year 2000.
It sure is. Such a shame. They will have mentors hopefully that will share memories and songs with them though.
eh I grew up in the 90's and 00's what peace you talking about?
The lyric: "Stretching out your arms to something that is just not there". GOD DAMMIT, that is a powerful line.
Do you think he knew it was wrong but still loved her so much?
@@rolonnataylor4190 >> I am guessing just DEEP love and it was over and he could not get over it at the time.
@@rolonnataylor4190 i heard this song was about his blow up doll. don't know if its true. but it would make sense with the lyrics
I wish I could go back and appreciate the 90s more than I did.
This
I wish I could appreciate you more than I did.
I was only 3 when this song came out so I sadly never got to appreciate the 90s since I was too young
Yes, and now I'm raising a child and won't let him listen to any of the nasty crap on the radio 📻.
I wish I could go back and hate the 90s more than I did.
Great song from a band that deserved more recognition than they ever got!
Totally 💯 x over
I totally agree with you!!!! 😊
This album, Lemon Parade, is solid throughout.
This!
I was born in the 70s. I grew up in the 80s & groomed in the 90s. Let's bring them back!
We’re a New Grunge band, check us out
Same. Born in 75. I was 15 in 1990. Best decade ever.
Can we just go back to the 90’s starting fresh from 01/01/1990
That would just be stellar.
Yes please
It sounds "totally tubular!" ONLY problem is I DON'T want to relive my older childhood/ADOLESCENCE again 🤦🏿♀️🤷🏿♀️💯
For real so much I would do differently
EXCELLENT!!!
Only another 68 more years and it will be the 90s once again.
I went through this. Nobody thought we'd make it. Not her parents, our friends, family...nobody. That was 30 years ago. We just celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary. Always hold onto what's inside. It's the only thing that truly matters.
Good for you, nobody stays together anymore. My husband and I have been married 34 years. People will always try to ruin what is good by interfering. I hope you are happy and living the good life w/ your honey ❣️
Yes, you can't help who you fall in love with.
Wealth is found in what you take to the grave with you: your integrity, your family love. Married 43 years.
I raised teens in the 90’s, & it was a Blast for all of us. I was constantly listening to their music- loving as much as they did! 🎶
So did I!
Same😊
Same!
kkkk
Me too!!
80s and 90s were the pinnacle of American pop culture. Glad to have been there! Youth and High School are nothing but a distant memory now.
I nominate this song as one of the absolute best songs of the 90s decade!!!
I turned 13 in 1996. Im 39 years old now, and this song is still a banger.
I was 12. The 90s were a special time to be that age. One foot I genx and one in the bext generation/era with early advent of the internet but before a post 9/11 world and social media/smartphones.
4 real
Jammed it then
Jamming it now
same here..had my 40th 2 months ago..
Hell yeah Kimbra circa 1983 right here as well. Boy them 90s sure we're something. When the Internet blew up everything felt as if it was about to be changing for the better. Shit nowadays it's like STOP PLEASE with the changes! I mean sure things that have seriously needed to change have begun to, but look at the shit that's had to happen to start that change.
The 90's are untouchable.
couldnt of said it any better!!
It was an absolute good time :))
100% agreed
yes
Agreed!!!! 💜
The 90's were the last decade of great music.
Indeed
And movies as well 💪💪💪💪 and of course the fashion, LONG LIVE THE 90'S FOREVER, THE GREATEST DECADE EVER IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND, everything about the 90's is just so perfect 💪💪💪💪🍻🍻🍻🍻
CErtainly
So true! Miss all these good tunes. So great to hear every once in awhile. The good ole days!
Music , movies , video games , things to do , people good people , the end of the 90s was the end of alot
It's truly is an honor to have lived in the 90s.....It was a different feel back then.....It was an amazing feeling!!!
blackgirlsareperfect u are absolutely right!
Yeah, nobody cared about race and politics
It still is an amazing feeling. Lots of incredible music still coming out.
@@realisticthought1781 Well, given that the 90s was the last time a president was impeached I'm going to have to disagree with you that nobody cared about politics, lol!
@@realisticthought1781 People did care, but the difference is that we didn't have social media.
It’s 2022 and loudly proudly I still say that was the decade for alternative. The lyrics, the space between the verses and the chorus that gave you time to just rock out in thought, in the moment. Gen x in slow motion baby
Eden beautifully written to describe the decadent decade of the 90's. Tonic, AIC, The Fly "Got you were I want you" , Sound Garden, Pearl Jam, The Wallflowers, Collective soul and many others that really took us to the next level of kick-ass great 🎵.
Like you said Eden "Gen X in-slow-motion baby!!!"
Yes. You said it perfectly.. I feel it all the when I hear music like this from the decade.
agreed, and also best for country and rap
@@raymondurbina2893 Nice👍I introduced my younger and older coworkers to these songs. "Got you where I want you" sticks in their heads haha. So many one hit wonders but they all have that 90's sound. I'm going thru a 90's kick recently and that song was the first one I wanted to hear. "Open up your eyes", "Starseed", "Shelf in the room", the list goes on...
Can you recommend more songs like this one. Thanks.
Ahh back in the days when music are so meaningful especially in the 90's.
+Slender Diper Yup, back in the day when we thought life was tough, then we grew up and found out the truth.
+Slender Diper yeah.
+nappybiscuit Hell I'm 14 and I know what it is like to starve because your family didn't have enough to buy food because it was all being used on taxes and my moms collage. They hated seeing how fast I was growing up compared to everyone else. You thought life was tough try living in what I used to. Can't wait to see what is is like when I get out :/.
+abel sanchez Don't get me wrong, teenage years are very tough. If I could go back in time to any age it would never be my teen years. Now if you are still living at home in your 30s odds are you had it too good.
+abel sanchez been there done that its shitfull
Bring back the 80s and 90s... Please come back!!!!! That's when music was music, i miss it so much. Btw im 53 and raised my kids to listen to it and they love it so much.
We’re a New Grunge band, check us out
"Sometimes you got to take a little dirt to keep what you love." That is the best piece of advice to give to anyone. It is almost always true.
Alexander Steiner word
My Army example is if you get a single MRE (prepacked meal) but as you hungrily get it unpacked and ready to prep & chow down, say you drop the Beef Pattie main course out of its container, onto the sand/dirt/grit below? My Drill Sergeant said that was "a secret blend of herbs & spices...the Army supplies free, anywhere in the world you may ever be..."
The point: you eat it. It will make for a great self-deprecating true story to share later, and you'll be ready for the NEXT time you do it, and just hope you don't lose grip on the prized pasta MRE...the ground pebbles, tiny slivers of old, broken beer bottles, and ant carcasses *may* make for an exciting presentation of your al-dente treat after "re-plating," but I had - sadly - poorer result.
My USMC story: accidentally putting the MRE salt packet in your cold instant MRE coffee. And drinking it anyway because it's coffee and you won't get anything else.
Things are as good (or as bad) as you make them. It's a choice.
:) I hear ya, Devil Dog. Many times come down to "If it's liquid, warm-ish, not clear water, it's Coffee." Or close enough. ;)
Embrace the suck, brother/sister! :)
So glad I was born in the early 80s an was able to experience the awesomeness of the 90s . It was definitely the best time growing up .
Well I am older so I grew up with the Beatles, Eric Clapton, Led Zep, Jethro Tull and saw hundreds if not a thousand shows. Oh and the Rolling Stones. Lots of bands you may not know of. Every era has had and will continue to have great and crappy music too. I saw these guys two days in a row when they toured with one of my fave bands STIR. Check them out. Happy Independence Day!
Great tune. One for the ages.
@@stevenmercer8299 yea brother. A lot of good bands you mentioned, Im a huge music lover and I listen to just about everything. I play music as well and grew up listening to bands from the 50s - 90s . I definitely think older music is more of an art or better quality, as well as movies that were made in the 80s and before. The technology wasn't there that we have now so the artist or movie director had to really be creative back then . With that being said , I think they did an amazing job with what they had to work with. Now anyone can make a tune and make up a few lines , put it on TH-cam and become famous.
@@stevenmercer8299 Find where the good music is now days. The point is there was good music in all of those decades. That is not the case now days
90s were the best
Never heard this before! It's so me.... Especially back in the 90s.... Vertical Horizon, Fuel, Collective Soul... What a great era that never made the mainstream!!!
But this one was an extremely big and long lasting hit on the mainstream charts in 1997 & 1998
I'm 54, I'd probably be going through a mid life crisis right now if not for music that keeps me sane. I remember hearing this song in the mid 90's, when people knew how to relate to each other w/o cell phones and facebook. This is a great one I recall, to go along with Fuel "Hemmorhage" and Offspring "Gone away".
How can anyone hate this song?! This song automatically puts me in a good mood!
Haley Jane Otto
I listen to this song because it comes on 90s alternative Pandora, and I was born in 83
♥️
Idk about a good mood, but it makes me cry
If youd been alive in 1996 you would've got sick of it fast trust me, it was given heavy rotation.
A good mood? I guess you haven't laid on your boyfriend crying because his family hates you. I cry every time.
In before 2020!
No but seriously. I still remember the morning, don't remember the exact day but it was December of '97, waking up miserable and heading to work at 3:30AM, getting out to my car and hearing this song on the radio and just being reminded that life was not so bad. Thanks Tonic, I needed it.
Com on give this guy or girl sum luv like his comment and reply
My man, I used to watch your videos back in like 2011. Really funny seeing you pop up in the comments.
I felt the same. Thank you I remember how this song made me feel and it still gives me that special feeling.
Tim B. When are we getting another Secret of Mana Lets Play?
I always laugh when you talk about the Fanta girls and Avril Lavigne.
@90s Greek child Dimitris yes! I miss those days too.
I lost my adored son, Kyle on January 21,2018...at the very young age of 20, it’s completely broken me & made time stand still...me & Kyle’s father we’re so in love when this song was a radio hit...I remember we’d always talk about Kyle when we got a night out, but several instances I recall driving home to Kyle in my Nissan 240sx(remember those;)this song was playing & I was driving and singing it to my exhusband (& Kyle, everything was for him)& our love was so huge, you could feel the energy pull our souls into one, we had our ups and downs for many years...we had good & we had horrible but nothing have we ever had like losing Kyle, he made us family, this song can mean so many things to so many people, so many stories of love...music is powerful...love prevails.
God Bless Everyone...be happy and thankful for what you have, people die, it happens, death does not discriminate! Love deeply, stand for something, work hard & when it comes down to it...you really don’t need that fancy car, all you need are the people you love ❤️🦋⭐️
I'm very sorry for your loss. It really is great that we can share in the experience of music like this no matter our background, one of the beautiful things about life.
Bless you
I lost my 20 year old son 11/22/15
I’m sorry you know that pain but Kyle and Jacob aren’t gone they’re just living somewhere else right now
I know he’s with my daddy right now who he is most like of my four boys.
Thank you for sharing
Asher Drew I’m so very sorry about Jacob, I know you miss him past desperation, it’s the hardest thing ever, love to your broken heart
Sorry my names Frank, I think my 14 year old Asher logged into his TH-cam on my phone Lol... Anyway I agree with and feel the same about much of what you wrote.
Music is one of out greatest gifts to help us enjoy life. It is at times like a time machine we can enter. I sing and have as long as I can remember and three of my boys and one of my daughters are the same. Jacob taught himself to play guitar as well as sing.
You’re right we’re all headed that way after a season.
One of the amazing things that has come from his death is it his broadened my love for people which I always have loved people but it’s like I see him in every young man or woman and they are my adopted kids. Sounds corny I know but that’s truly how I feel when I meet them. They have to listen to my correction and guidance. Lol
Well God bless you and your family and hold you in His arms when you hurt.
God bless
This song moves me in a way that is too hard to describe. I never get tired of it. Fan forever ❤

Same!!😊
1971. I could not agree more.
Your smile is pretty as fuh!
Right you are. I was also born in 1970 and boy did we see a lot of good stuff
Agreed!!
I'm going to be 30 in October, I grew up listening to this music & honestly, all I could wish for the younger generation is to open their eyes. Your parents love you, your family loves you. It might not be apparent at times, but in the end, it doesn't matter. All that matters is how you play the cards you're dealt. Just some words of wisdom from someone who's turning 30 in a few months ;) good luck to everyone though. Some of us have abusive loved ones & sometimes it is better to get away from the negativity. Just stay strong 💪 🙏 ❤ sending much love to all of you
What day in October? I turned 30 on October 5th ;). Good stuff.
I still don't feel all old and enlightened 😝. For whatever reason I once thought I'd have it all figured out at 30. Haaaaaaa
Ah shit it's October again
Great insight and encouragement!
Ty my sister light shiner✨🙍
53, and you said it right hun. Family is the all. Your real family, the ones who have your back no matter what. Bound by more than blood. They’re there to make you a better person. If they don’t bring you up, get away from them. Just make sure you know up from down first. Teenagers seldom do.
Fun fact: THIS was the song that got me into playing a guitar, i was only 9 back then when this song came out (1997), im 32 this year & a father of a 4 years old daughter, feeding her this tune every now & then, hope she can pick up a guitar soon so that i could jam this song together with her, much love from Kuala Lumpur 🇲🇾

One weekend in the early 2000's my friend of 20 years and I sang this song in harmony on the way home from a local pub. When the song was done we just sat in silence the rest of the way home. That was the last time I saw him alive. I didn't know in the 90's what the song would come to mean or how important it would be for me to listen to today.
Sorry mate. It was Live Forever for me and my mate. I left England two days later and in a week he was gone. We jammed to this one on our road trip to Scotland.
Many condolences 🙏 ❤ been there
My condolences to those posting and sharing this same type of experience.
There's something about the last ride or road trip with a close friend and singing a specific song,
completely unaware that this will be the last time you'll ever see them....
And the power that song has, to the memory of the friend you lost.
Bittersweet.

Sad that other people’s taste of music makes you sad.
There's no dislike
@NOMAD
So they went out of their way to relive a bad memory only to dislike a song? Holy shit, how bored must one be to do such a thing to themselves?
@NOMAD
Do you think people actually do that?
I was born in 1960 and I still think the 90s produced the best music in all the decades I've been listening!
Thank you
@@staciemckenty-assal8949 - I was born in 68. The 80's was my coming of age decade, unfortunately. The whirlwind that was the 80's with its synthesized drums and lycra wearing pop music pretenders. It was a nightmare of shit music and rap. During that time I would prefer listening to some one scratching their nails on a blackboard.
However in the mid eighties I found The Animals The Who Rolling Stones etc etc. I quit radio and almost missed the 90's. I called grunge angry white boy music.
Christine Sharp yes
@Servant to Be 80's and 90's for me.
So many will never understand the absolute perfection of this song. So much raw emotion - angst, passion, longing. It's been one of my all-time favorite songs since I first heard it!
..💯% SP🎯T ON !! 😍 🙌
I only had 3 CDs in my car as a teen in the 90s - Gin Blossom's "New Miserable Experience", Live's "Throwing Copper", and Tonic's "Lemon Parade". Didn't need anything else. Didn't want anything else.
Throwing Copper I don't blame ya there
Yes! I had throwing copper, AIC Dirt, Yellow Ledbetter and. sixteen stone in my car in hs lol
I was born in 1990, but my oldest sister was born in 1978. That sounds exactly like her car in the mid 90s lol.
I was born in '78 too. Your sister has great taste.
+Mike F. Great 90's bands but you're still missing out on some other great 90's bands like Third Eye Blind, Matchbox 20, Everclear, Pearl Jam, etc.
Sad, all we have left are memories of a time we can't have back
Make Ninties Great Again
2022 still jammin out. That guitar breakdown is still 🔥
Yes it is and still will be jammin out to this for years to come
Facts guitar is lit!
🥲🥲

The bass is absolutely LIT too. This song is genius from start to finish. Always has been.
To be alive and content in any decade is wonderful. I'm a 70's teen and have special memories from then. I've got special memories in every decade since also. Strive to be content with life. Not saying settle but when times are rough remember the good things. You will find you also will have cherished memories from ever era in you life too. I love music also from before I was born in 1959. Music helps you relive your life. Every genre of music is special to me.
Wow...wow....same here. December 1959. This is a terrific tune. Love it !!!!
I was born in 61. I can’t begin to tell you how much I agree. It doesn’t just bring back memories. It brings back emotions.👍♥️
90s was the best era ....miss it so much 😢😢😢
true
The best years to grow up and hang out on the corner and nobody bothered you not even cops
The 1970's were the best.
I lived it.
90s was good, but 80s was unforgettable
Why don't guitars sound like this anymore? Fuck, it sounds so good.
+olimario Because less people actual play them, and more people just cut and edit crap together
+D.L. Young nah. Because these are Gibsons. Nowadays guys want Kiesel and Other crazy manufacturer guitars that cost about the same as a Gibson. .....For Djent. Yeah. Guess you're right.
They still do
Bieber broke the guitar
NICE LANGUAGE.
If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me
Well you got your reasons
And you got your lies
And you got your manipulations
They cut me down to size
Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't
If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me
Seems the road less traveled
Show's happiness unraveled
And you got to take a little dirt
To keep what you love
That's what you gotta do
Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't
You're stretching out your arms to something that's just not there
Sayin' you love where you stand
Give your heart when you can
If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me
Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't
Sayin' you love where you stand
Give your heart when you can
If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about or love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me
beautiful
I'll get that feeling back n my life.... One day
Ian Moone yeah you will, you will. Its why we're here!
Karan Field... Thank U.... Will see
Stephanie Mcleod
one of the songs that defined the 90s
God bless the 90's.
What about other decades?
Totally agree!!! I'm a '90s baby. That decade had the best movies, tv shows, & most importantly music!!!
@Jamel James It is just because you're being nostalgic towards that decade. The same opinions go with all other generations i'm sure lol but agree 90's had the best shit for sure
@Jamel Jones ***
OGkush2011 every generation will look back and nostalgically long for that magic of their youth to return. However the world was rapidly changing and information technology matured. Before people could steal whole catalogs of record companies with a few clicks they put a lot of resources into finding and producing stellar talent. The factors that produced certain media will not repeat and things are only fresh once.
You can also argue for every positive that comes with time and change comes a negative. Its up to each of us to dwell on the positives to stay happy.
I feel so lucky to have lived in the great fucken 90's bro.
Same, bro!
90's baby ♥️
Exactly! If you feel old, at least we can look back and say we got to experience the 90’s!
music is a time machine.. and 90's has countless awesome moments
Great tune and artist. We tried with my friend from R&O to review this great song. Maybe we succeed, maybe not, we let you be the judge if you have two or three minutes to spare and a thumb up or down to add, come listen and judge us here :-) : th-cam.com/video/gNY9T4QVcdk/w-d-xo.html and stay safe
Agreed
So true
10,000th Comment!! who's still bumpin this in 2024!!!!! 🤘🤘
🎉 and will continue to.. until my last breath ❤
Deeply underappreciated song
You go girl! Love this song!
Yey!!!!
🫶🤟
Right here 💯
90s was the best time for music. Pure talent and musicianship.
90s had the deepest lyrics. That much is certain
Hideously ignorant statement. 🙄
He wrote this song about an older woman he was in love with, that his family didn’t accept. Still a great song, all these years later! 😁🤘🎶

I've been there this I's my interpretation
Current 😅situation in my life
Omg seriously?
This song, “Crash” by Dave Matthews band and “Cumbersome” by Seven Mary 3 reminds me of the SAME exact situation back in 1996.
I just turned 22 and started dating a 34 y/o and she really messed with my mind
I saw Tonic live in 1999, and they sounded even better live than on the recording. They were 100x better than the band they were supporting on that tour. This song was perhaps my favorite from my high school years. Just a wonderful song, still as great 2 decades later.
I love this song my ex died of cancer last year I miss him are ages were only five years apart and we kind of listen to a lot of the same music except for I liked heavy metal RIP ❤LOVE YOU 2:04
So sorry for your Loss ... hope find love again 💕 ❤️
Coming home from HS with this song on the car radio with the wind blowing🖤
Drednok how
HECK YA
Car is wet because you cant see the rain
Enjoy the journey my friend best years
Yeop! I can relate
Real music with emotion, we need more of this
Amen, bother
This was from a time before social media. I was 20-21 when this came out and I viewed the world MUCH differently back then. The internet and social media has caused me to view people in a rather negative way. It’s sad. I was better off not knowing everyone’s opinions on everything like now.
So fucking true. Respect mate
just because someone put it out there doesn't mean you have to give it anymore weight than it should merit, just pay it nooch
Ignorance is bliss... we are now over informed.
Yes! So well said. I completely agree!
I was born in 2002 but my soul belongs in the past. With songs like this I feel truly alive.
That couple never made it, everyone was against them. If the families won't accept it sure can tear your relationship apart. Yes,.I have learned from experience twice over now.
classic 90s, love it!
***** -- you and me both. It was the greatest time for music and rock culture never to be seen again.
***** Totally agree!
+jjm8411 nice account picture ;)
+Mrs. RockKitty Decent song from a crappy music decade
+desertsun100-really!? You think 90s music was crap!? What bands made you hate that era. I loved that time for music. Since I'm older now I still listen to a lot of music, but no one stands out as the one top groups of this time (as least for me anyway) but I could still appreciate it.
I preferred 90s music over music of now days
COMO QUE BANDAS "DESCONOCIDAS" DICES?
...as do most sane people who value music that has actual emotions, not to even mention kick ass guitars.
Nobody fuckin asked you
Blugrnlily 90s and 70s music are the bomb
Blugrnlily omg with you when ya right!!!!!!!!
"If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says she loves me..."
Romantic interest in the video: *Has the darkest brown eyes ever*
Because it wasn't meant to be taken literally. Blue is also used as a figure of speech
lol
I was thinking that lmak
It's got layers, double meaning, blue means sad. She was crying multiple times.
@@ScarTactic5 while I get that, when he's talking about how blue her eyes are, it's when she's saying she loves him. So why would she be sad when she's saying she loves him?
To say this song transcends generations is a serious understatement, one of the greatest songs of all time.
"they" created the generational put downs to make no unity possible. We are all human alive at the same time....let's get along....life is damn short.
I played it for my 5 year old daughter and she loved it! Now it's part of her regular playlist.
There's something particularly painful about nineties nostalgia.
The consequences of Neo-liberalism came into fruition.
You know why ? Because the 80's was the best time to be alive. I was jus 8 years old in 1989 but i remember those last 4 years from 85 to 89 and that my friend is pure gold in my brain.
Yeah, what’s painful is horrible music like this.
For me there certainly is a bittersweet flavor to the nineties and the music from that time. My life turned upside down and I became estranged from my wife and children.
GAB1490 I’ve noticed that as well
I saw and heard these guys for the first time when my unit was deployed to Kosovo in 2000. Very awesome group! I still have a drumstick from the drummer.
I just turned 50 and still loving this
I'm 42 and I'm right there with u on this!
People don't really know what good music is
I'm going back in time today. listening to this plus Audioslave, fuel, bush, stone sour, stone temple pilots, pearl jam, and so on.
word
Haha, I'll meet you there! I know it's a little late for a reply but there was so much great music in the 90's that a week isn't enough to hear/enjoy it all.
Emerson Hart and Jeff Russo...are two of the best song writer's that I've ever heard... Love those guys had a great night out with those guys... Will never forget it!!... Susan Marshall and Jeff Powell!!!
Some tantric, candlebox, days of the new, collective soul, deep blue something, better than ezra, gin blossoms, etc lol
Matchbox 20? Lol
After hearing that the the lead singer ended up not marrying the girl this song is about; I am still glad he wrote it.
The only part of the story that is different for me is that I ended up marrying the blue eyed girl who says she loves me. We’re still deeply passionate and in love, have three wonderful boys, and a blast being together most days. Our commitment to each other is for life, no matter who that makes uncomfortable or upset.
that id beautiful
Beautifully said... I feel this way about my wife as well. There's a look in her eyes when she looks at me that says without a doubt that love is real
That is so beautiful 💖
❤️💯
#Goals
My sweetheart passed away 3 years ago...he loved this song and Tonic...his son wasn’t as happy for us being together...I miss you everyday, baby.
I'm not sure what his truth is but I just love him. Everyone judges me, everyone as if it is their business and they are God. He says, my partner, that it will never end and my brother says only answers to my questions. No judgement, he is a man of God. This becoming impossible. Will he only hurt and destroy me in the end, are they right? I just don't have the answers. I'm afraid to ask God for approval.
After all these years this song hits me in a way I can't explain. I'm not in love with a woman. But God, I love this song.
Same
I was born in 1983 the 90s music was the best!! I hate growing up😭
Me too....
Sucks dont it casey? I have fallen down. 80 and 90 rabbitt hole!!!
Wow you've missed out because since the 90's there has been so much more incredible music released and there still is plenty more coming.

jaimee maree I'm with you!!! Even tho I was born in the 2000s fuck I love this
Fuck yeah 👌👌👌
don't get too hooked in a decade though plenty of sick as tracks out there
This is truly an amazing song I've been a musician on my life I'm 60 years old I'll tell you right now... This is a truly wonderful song written about a man who is in love with a girl in an abusive relationship but finds a new one... Soon to be set free
I miss the 90's. Great music and great times.
I agree great singer and guitar in 90s I remember .
This song reminds me of my beautiful wife when she was alive. I miss her so much. :-(
Your comment hit me in the feels

Reminds me of when I was 19 gorgeous dating a narc and 6 years later I lost a child from one then 7 years later my dad and two men I loved dearly. And I know what I’d done differently these narcissistic people destroy years it important we ALL keep them OUT narc freeworld pharma free world Lyme free world vaccines free world 🥰

Totally agree
I'm 25yrs old now i am so happy to hear this song even tho i live here in asia Philippines. very thankful to my father who collect some of alternative music ❤
We need to usher in this culture again.
Jimicus Jolcen let's start a band
Right!!!! In REAL music we TRUST.
Why yes, yes we do.
Jimicus Jolcen sadly it’s gone forever. All we have is the music and memories
AGREED! I am here for it.
If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me
Well you got your reasons
And you got your lies
And you got your manipulations
They cut me down to size
Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't

Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says

Why I feel this way about or love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me
My wife and I met when this song came out. Time Machine of our love.
