After 30 years, Doug Rob still has the same outstanding, clear, and powerful voice. Impressive.
Abso-f*ckin-lutely! ❤
I love that they kept this in the right key. Lots of artists are afraid to do that.
A testament to a great confident vocalist
Not afraid, incapable. These guys have gotten better if anything has changed at all.
its not that they're scared. most artists CANT perform live in the same key that the rsong is recorded in
Yeah they didn't use auto tune. They are pre autotune
The sad thing is that I just realize that we’re getting old together with our idols. Thanks for making our childhoods complete with your songs.
😪
:(
The saddest thing is that I lost mine 3 years ago and I will not get old with my idol.
@@jgerajak who is it?
Its their only song that I know but yeah my childhood could be diff without this great song.
“And when the world needed them most, they returned”
Literally
absolutely true😭😭
AANG?
Bryan Flores-Ortega hits hard this time around.
How many time i’ve seen this comment, can u be more original.?
The music of the 90's and early 2000's are just phenomenal!
some of the best music and artists!
totally agree with you 👋👋👋
Pretty much the late 1950’s-2000’s. Buddy Holly, Elvis, Ritchie Valens, Sinatra of the 1950’s then we had the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin (1969) and Jimi Hendrix & CCR in the 1960s!
Peak America.
Te faltó el mejor( para mi) Freddie Mercury ❤❤❤❤
Still fire! 31 year old living in 2024 knowing the 90s had the best music/artist. Hoobastank should release a new album
He still got his voice
There is A LOT of pitch correction and processing on his vocals
He still has his voice, but this is not raw, it has a lot of audio post production
@@marekk.5922 for sure man. I'm not ignorant to it
@unfortunate son yeah, you are acting like a young boy.. may you will learn someday
yup, a ton of post. He never had a good voice actually, love the song though
His voice aged like fine wine, holy crap.
It's autotuned.
@@garbygarb31 using autotune doesn't mean that his voice hasn't aged fantastically. Both are true.
The second harmony voice dude is still killin' it too!
@@garbygarb31 you're all over the comment section telling it's autotuned. Go get a life
If u know hoobastank, he's famous not being able to sing live
The words hit harder when you've lived life, and it all hits home.
I'm ashamed to say that I recently came across this song and I've been listening to it every day for the last couple of weeks. It just reminds me of being young around the turn of the millennium, feeling immortal, hanging out with friends and never thinking about growing old.
I was 32 turning 33 when this song was released. I thought I was old then lol.
Boy I can relate.
Little did I know how life goes SOOOO fast. I guess its a way of teaching us lessons we didn't even know needed.
“Youth, is the most beautiful thing in this world-and what a pity that it has to be wasted on children!” -Bernard Shaw
It means even more when you’re 64. Ya spend the rest of your life making up for the stupid.
Why should you be ashamed listening to music, that's near to your heart and in this case is even considered good music :). Music can give you and trigger something, that nothing else can. This song especially just screams nostalgia :)
Don't Ned to be ashamed
That voice didn't change in 18 years. It's still beautiful.
I think it's a bit different. A bit coarser but I still like it.
He didn’t change!! Still young!!
doesn't sound much different to me either.
Absolutely
@@achikkun1856 I think it sounds different for sure but better and refined. Someone who had the experience back then but now has the wisdom to truly appreciate and understand these words. If you did someone wrong and can reach out to them, do so! If someone wronged you, reach and and forgive them!
This made me profoundly sad. The smiles on their faces, and the wonderfully edited video that swings back and forth. 15 years. They have changed. We have changed. And everything and everybody around us are changing every second. Before we know it, our journeys will all be over. Till then, we will have to go on finding reasons that will make our journeys worthwhile.
Amen
What a nice comment!

That went deep into my heart, much love
Tears in my eyes, the most beautiful song ever.
[Verse 1]
I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
[Pre-Chorus]
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
[Chorus]
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
[Verse 2]
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with every day
And all the pain I put you through
[Pre-Chorus]
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear
[Chorus]
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
[Post-Chorus]
And the reason is you
And the reason is you
And the reason is you

To change who I used to be

And the reason is you
I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

God he aged so well. Can't believe my eyes. This is nostalgia.
234rd Like. 👍🏼👍🏼🤣
I saw them at music midtown in Atlanta,Ga in 2002 and he kissed my cheek in front of my then fiancé. So crazy I was 18 years old.
When you realized you getting old but the singer's voice remained young 🙂
dude the lead singer looks like he's aged twice as much as we have since that song came out LOL!
exactly
My EXACT thought...
@@MVPhurricane I mean, he was 29 when the song came out and now he's 46, people kind of age in that period
thats where a little studio engineering comes in handy my hard rocking amigo
17 years ago we played this song as a young eager band. The lead singer was Wesley. He enjoyed life so much. One afternoon I got a call to tell me Wesley had died on a construction site. This song will always be his and remind me of his smile.
Im so sorry to hear about your loss, but I'm so happy you have such a good memoir for him in your memory
I am so very sorry that you lost your friend. As long as you remember him, his legacy lives on. Prayers to you.
2000’s have this weird feel I can’t explain, being a kid during it was magical and I’m thankful for the artists like these guys who kept it with songs like these, it’s a nostalgia I cannot begin to compare.
I thought it was just me... Things just felt different then, on a larger level than just my own experiences.
That's because it was magical ❤
I believe we all felt it too.
We all felt it❤
Well part of it is nostalgia. Another part is that the 2000s were a simpler time when the Internet and technology wasn't as big, we played outside instead of using smartphones, and music like this is different compared to the music nowadays.
His voice suprisely sounds just as fresh as back when they released this song.
No. It sound different. More deep then past. Like an old man talk about life and young man talk life.
@@miftahulhuda5711 I think it sounds better
The autotune though 2:06
And 2:39 the autotune shows up again
Autotune all the way, but who cares when song is great.
I'm not a perfect person, but that song is the perfect nostalgia.
Of course i sang to this comment
@@fieldofhorses thanks
Dude i cried when i saw the before and after. I lost my best friend in life and it changed me completely. I just been more wise, humble and respectful. This song isnt just a song for me. Its like an viking being accepted to Valhalla. Thank you Hoobastank.
we didn´t know we needed a acosutic version until now. It sounds so smooth and relaxing
Listened this song while high school. now I am a father.
SAME
You both focked up.
@@vitaminb4869 vala vala chill
Same bro!
Same bro
15 years with this song in my playlist, time flies.
Same here!
I'm an old school metal-head but this is definitely in my top 10 songs of all time. Loved it then, love it now.
thats why our generation is the best cause we all go through quality thing
Same ..
Ge
Time flies man but this song is a banger for life.
Reallyyy!!
The fact that he's still got his voice is one thing, but them putting footage of the original MV and behind the scenes got me a bit choked up, ngl. We're old now, I hope everyone here is doing good in life
still killing it
RIGHT
Lmao of course the vocals are autotuned to fuck
@@garbygarb31 how do you fuck the vocals even if its autotuned
@@garbygarb31 you cant sound that good even if it's autotuned
Jorda n dude there is no autotune on this, so idk where you think he's getting help. if you can point to an instance of it, I'll retract. he's obv not whatever age he was this and same direction came out, but he nailed it pretty well.
I hate being older, this song takes me back to high school days, miss this band and song
Along with the well written melody, the bass player's high harmonies really make the chorus.
The honesty and the humility of the lyrics is an understatement. This songs connects very well to those who are living in their true self. As human is vulnerable to worlds elements. The Reason of all the things we exists is the one who we truly love. ❤
Anyone else wish they could go back to the 2000's? The music, games, shows, and movies.
Everything except fashion
Me everything is beautiful... The age of friendship is everything
Im crying
All i ever dreamed of..
And no coronavirus
I have a 15 years of relationship with this song.
I can't believe I am back here again. Last time I rediscovered it here 3 years ago. I was 36 then and now I am about to turn 40yrs old in next 3months...... There's magic in this song. The tune, the notes, the singing, the lyrics, even the visuals (original TV version's video)... can't forget the first time when I saw it's video on MTV.
while listening to my childhood and teenage playlist, I get so nostalgic and emotional that it scares me so I just stop playing it and divert myself in another activity or thoughts.
It scares me because I feel that I will cry so intensely that I will drown and die in my own tears.
The grief is about not able to turn back time and live those days again. It's also about how I can't explain in words to the current generation what it was like back in those days.
My favorite song ever!!! Love this version. Gives me chills!
"We all have our time machines, don't we. Those that take us back are memories...And those that carry us forward, are dreams.” - H.G. Wells
Omg he is getting old
Yes..this is the time machine..beautiful memories..
@@billydiaz09 Of course. Everyone gets old.
@@billydiaz09 20 years or so will do that
It pains to see you old. And to realise I am too. And that my childhood and all the good things are nothing but memories anymore.
Yeah, it sickens me too..damnit, why couldnt we just be young forever..
*Right in the feels.*
Damn dude it gives me chills when I read your comment. Got some instant flashbacks
You just perfectly verbalized how I feel. Comments like this are the reason I scroll down on every YT video.
Soon we will be gone ...
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever made. So simple, yet so underrated
Recently discovered this song and I cannot stop playing it. Became my new favourite song
His voice is still powerful after all these years.
Benar, suaranya tidak berubah sama sekali, padahal lagu sudah lama ..
@@ninakusumaputri ah yang bener, kali aja autotune
@@poebla4729yg dulu autotune ..yg live skrg bagus suaranya
I think is much better.
100%
It's so emotional when the young of them is showed... Just realized how old they are😭
Pretty sure I was in middle school when this came out. Now I own a home and talk about interest rates and have a retirement plan. Ugh lol
And so we are...
My all time Karaoke song! There is The question of the reason for everything is a deeply philosophical and existential inquiry. It touches upon fundamental questions about the nature of existence, purpose, and the universe. Philosophers have explored the question of the reason for everything throughout history. Some argue that life and meaning are constructed through individual experiences and relationships, while others seek broader metaphysical explanations. In many religious traditions, the reason for everything is often tied to the existence of a divine creator or a higher power. The purpose of life and the universe is considered to be part of a divine plan. This song makes me cry all the time.
Incredibly amazing and well disciplined voice. I'm not actually a big fan of this band, but they have more talent in their fingers than i do in my whole body, and I really respect that from truly talented group of musicians.
Oh God, the quality of his voice...😭😭😭
เเปลไห้ผมที

Auto tune. You can literally hear the pitch correction lol
@@ReservoirPunk idk what youre hearing, theres no pitch correction on this.
@@strawsparky33 Yes there is.
Wow, 15 years have passed huh?
There's a lot difference then and now. People have their own reasons for leaving, changing, and moving on.
God bless us.

God bless us brother, well said! Much love for everyone!!
Iya, udah 15 tahun
It is so incredible to see the talent of your band. Playing actual instruments and I have always loved how clear and strong your voice is!
Thank you guys, you are all trully amazing.. I loved this song when I was young and now I'm so grateful to see that you made a recent acoustic version..
So many emotions, tears and hope when I hear real artist with such amazing music and voice..
Thank you a lot for everything
This song takes me back to high school, I wish I could go back in time.
SAME!!!!!!!
Me too..!!
Samee hmm
that's The Reason of regrets
Me too 🔥🔥
Not sure what's more painful to realize: the fact that I wanna go back to the 2000s or that I am getting old.
Ritu Giri i know it’s painful, but it’s helpful to remind yourself that it happens to everybody, and everybody alive today are all going to get older together
I do the same for the 90s or the late 80s....its crazy
We all want to go back to those days. But we know that we can't.. but instead of wishing for those days back, we should be living each day we have to the fullest. No matter how tough or unreasonable the day is.
High five!
I think both! I still have to come to terms with aging.
I was 7 months pregnant when I first heard this song, and I used to sit in front of the TV and watch the video clip over and over and over again…
Sadly my only son passed away this month August 2023 and he was just 18 years young.
Now I cry singing this song to him every single day.
This is my song to him. Wherever you are I just wanted to let you know that I will never forget you. I love you with my whole soul. I'll think about you every single day of my life until the day I'm gone.
I just want to let you know that I will always love you and I will always be here for you.
Mama loves you Léo.
Eu te amo Léo e vou amar você para sempre. Você será para sempre o melhor filho que eu poderia ter. Você sempre será o amor da minha vida, o tesouro da mamãe.
Te amo lindão ❤ 🤘🏻
15 years and "i" still hasn't changed
This is a guy who actually sounds like he took care of his voice through the years. He doesn’t sound like he does drugs, smokes, or always drinks before a performance. Very refreshing; he’s slaying, still.
Yes! So refreshing, so clean...Yet so nostalgic!
very true
Now we just wait for a random guy to say its autotuned
While I agree let me play devil's advocate by saying Ozzy Osborne did all those things and sings great live. It just messed up everything else about him. lol
@@RandomPerson-ui3xv well, it's definitely auto-tuned in the studio, you can hear it. In fact, the whole song was recorded in studio and video was recorded later to make it appear as a "live" version.. their lip sync is not on point always ^^
The pianist ring was the gem that they stole in the music video.

Very nice catch
Very interesting fact. I wouldn't have known. Thank you for sharing
Hahaha..
Thank you 👍🏼💕
Those cross backs to when they were younger = magical ❤
Goosebumps those were my childhood memories thank you hoobastank for making my childhood beautiful✨😍❤
The lyrics hit harder now as an adult vs when I heard this back in high school. Especially after having your heart broken.. 💔
So true...the pain hits
I totally agreed
fuck, this song hit the button........
Ouch hehek
I can't believe after all these years Doug could still hit that Vocal Pitch!!!!
It's pretty impressive but if vocalists take care of themselves stay healthy keep practicing they most likely won't lose their voice
Auto tune
@@pingola16 I don't think it's autotune pitch correction maybe
Lucas Marangoni I wasnt talking about autotone. I just said he could still sing in a very high pitch. You can’t autotone a high pitched voice.
Yeah, but I don't know, never seen him do that hi note, not even when he was young, but he could have gotten better, still there's no doubt he's voice was auto tuned as fuck on this video.
Que nostalgia 😢 que música! Que voz linda ❤
I can't decide which version I like better, the original or this....I think I love them both equally...for Doug to sit there and belt this out without standing is incredible...testament to his vocal ability for sure! The harmony is stunningly simple beauty.Thanks you all for giving the world the gift of this track, it will be here when all of us are long gone, it's THAT GOOD!❤️
Man the early 2000s were such a great time. You could feel the world changing with the internet, but social media hadn't yet taken over. Music that requires actual talent was still prevalent on the radio and on everyone's home made CD mixes. Movies and games were breaking so many boundaries and were still original, opening up so many people's eyes and minds to the possibilities ahead. The future didn't seem so daunting as it does now. Maybe it is the ignorance of my youth in my high school days, but those were the times I miss the most.
No shit u miss your youth. Absolute shocker.

Insane voice and band 🔥
Immigrated to canada in 2009 from Jammu (India)
Had first Canadian (best) friend when we heard this song- he said no way you like this song! He said this was not a good band or song
But (2023) I know how much this song means to me !
God bless you Shawn!
One of the best songs EVER! 😢
I just cried watching this, missing my teenage years and how quickly time flys by

Autotune..

@@o9mb every artist uses some form of pitch correction that's the entire industry lmao
I agree with you 💯 %
@@o9mb for me, it's glaringly prominent, so much that it annoys me, and i'd rather just hear his voice unprocessed
This is the dad version of the original song. Such a refined, well-aged, masterpiece.
Amazing harmonising 🩶
I'm so impressed with his vocals they haven't changed even a little 😍😂
Haha they were pretty out of shape for a while.. before clicking this I hoped he would sound good. Exceeded my expectations and very happy for the nostalgia :)
After almost 19 years still gives me goose bumps, never gets old.
The nostalgia is beautiful and painful because we all got older.
Meeeeee too😇now I’m 38 yrs old this dec-2022 but still search for this song
I am Korean and I thought it was 16 or 17 year old. 2006 maybe? This song was big on the street. I liked it
Released in 2004.@@user-bn5pq7bh5g
FUKIN A GOOSE BUMPS.
Wow, that was an impressive performance. I wonder if they were able to nail it all on the first take. It's not like they're playing anything overly complex, but the importance of having good chemistry among band members can't be overstated. These guys seem to have the music aspect of their band dialed in. It's unfortunate that, for whatever reason, we didn't see a lot more hits out of this band. However, most musicians would die happy to have one of their songs chart as high as Hoobastank's did back then. Thanks for that nice little trip down memory lane.
I am so lucky to be born in 80s era. The time when the music was pure and original. I am so nostalgic right now, bringing back all the memories. He still got the power in his voice, no auto tune just pure originality. Thank you God and thank you all my fellow 80s and 90s kid. I am just lucky that we shared that era together, God bless everyone.
I grew up with this song. I was 16 years old when I heard it for the first time. It’s such a bittersweet feeling to hear it after so many years ✨
me too around that age, now I'm 29, time flies
Totally agree!
This song got me through some tough times.
Strange to hear it after so many years.
Love it!
me too
I love the nostalgic footage from when they were shooting the music video.
me too, born 1987
When your dad keeps saying that he was a member of a rock band, but you still don't believe him, so he calls his buddies to play along.
Hahaha... Underrated comment
LMAO😂❤
Hahahahaaaa…..
Lmfaooo
Which band member is your father.
His voice aged like fine wine, holy crap!!
ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!!!! I HEAR THIS AND ROCK IS NOT DEAD!!! Thank you all so very much!!! (Yes, I'm 71 this month, and I'm a Boomer, and you guys are AWESOME!!!)
Another song to remind us how old we've really become.

The backup singing its just sick man
I cannot tell you how much this song was about my late husband. It came out when we got together. And this was him. He changed who he was to be a better man. Eleven years together. Drama. Abuse. He came out bipolar. He never wanted to be like that. He decided to take his life. This whole song is so dramatic. It was his life. His transformation. And his transition. There are no better words to describe us. Thank you. I cry everytime I hear it.
How come no one has made a Nostalgia Fest
-Green Day
-Hoobastank
-Blink 182
-RHCP
-Radiohead
-Incubus
-Guns n' Roses
-Foo Fighters

Coming at the top of my head.
Nostalgia is an extremely lucrative business.
Add Shinedown and 3 Doors Down
Because all of those bands haven’t disappeared into obscurity (apart from hoobastank and creed...linkin park is obv a diff story and tom from blink 182 is just a whack job)

In rehab they told us to listen to this song and imagine we were singing it to our past selves. Healing our inner child and all that! It was actually really helpful for me. Since that was the context in which I first heard this song, and here the band members are being interspliced with footage of their past selves, this video means a lot. So to the archetypal Girl Reading This, I'll just say: I'm coming up on three years sober next week, and there's hope for you to make whatever change you want.
Stay well Kylie and congrats on your 3 years of being sober! ❤
Congrats and thank you for the kind words
Heartwarming. ♥️
Stay strong Kylie!
Wao...congratulation u made it.
Its just a beginning many more years to go

Can I get some opinions on our cover of this favourite song?? Thanks! th-cam.com/video/wY_82Ig_JiE/w-d-xo.html
I was 13 years old when this came out, I used to sing this song all the time. Now I am in my mid/early 30s listing to this song , so many memories flooding in.
This song means so much to me. I dedicated this song to my wife 19 years ago after she picked me up after getting out of jail. She was 7 months pregnant and with this song I swore to her that i would alway take care of her and my child.
I appreciate you
Am i the only one who feels like crying??? Because they are aging or because you miss your younger days or because you miss the old you or the vibe comes back
I miss the old days, remember when this music release, i just sit front my old computer and remember one friend downloaded this clip and other in CD... damm miss this times (sorry for bad english)

이노래를 저는 왜 이제야 알았을까요..
지금 이밤..힘든 하루의끝..아이를 재워두고 다시 헤드폰을 끼고 무한 반복으로 듣고있답니다.
행복합니다. 내일도 일어나서 나의 시작을 이노래로 함께할수있다는 생각에 설레이고 또 설레입니다. 비록 전 육아를 병행하며 힘들게 일하고 있지만 이노래만큼은 저를 지친 하루의 시작과 끝을 행복으로 만들어주는듯 합니다.
감사합니다. 또 감사합니다. 사랑합니다.😊
This language is so beautiful. Korean, right? It makes me realize there is so much of this world I don't know. Speaking English my whole life, these words are so foreign to me. :| But they convey the same emotion about this song.... in a pattern I do not even recognize. user-nh3dy6ug7s, you probably know English? I'm so sorry I have no knowledge or your beautiful language. :( .. maybe you can teach me? :)
The cuts to the original music video hit me right in the heart
I was 21 when this song came out and it is extraordinary how this now makes all the sense that it didn't back then... fucking onions man.
My mom passed away today. This was always one of her favorite songs. You're making me cry hoobastank. The reason is you.... Thank you for bringing me back to happy memories.
RIP Sandra. ❤️❤️
Sorry for your loss and I hope you’ll get through these difficult times….the only advice I could give is keep the memories alive and remember your mum will want you to be ok. X
I’m sorry to hear that. I hope this song of nostalgia will guide her to a path of peace. :(
Stay strong brother
Sorry for your loss buddy. :( I can't imagine
Thank you, kind strangers, for the comforting words. Who knew you could find such great comfort from strangers on TH-cam 🥺❤️

Always giving me "The Reason" to listen to this very amazing song! bringing back the memories.
Bang and I'm right back to my teenage years. Life has faded like the sands of time. Now it's my kids hearing the songs I grew up listening to. 19 years on and have the ability of hindsight, the words sit differently now.
Can we just talk about how fucking clean these harmonies are? Not a single outbreak or flutter, just two voices perfectly in pitch with each other :o
Yes, it is just absolutely amazing ❤️❤️❤️

I mean they came out with this song around like 2003 if I'm not mistaken, it's kinda expected for them to play it and sing it perfectly, they've probably practiced it countless times
Spot on!
It's super tuned lol
The Reason is such an iconic song. It's one of those songs songwriters wish they have written. It's that magic moment that doesn't happen very often. The song's message is about redeeming yourself and trying to be a better person. It's very relatable and sincere. As an artist, if you're sincere about your work, people will resonate with it. They can feel what you feel.

The same thing it is a curse when it's the only thing people know they sang.
I mean the song has a pretty simple melody along with simple lyrics.
It’s a good song, but I wouldn’t go out and say it’s something artists wish they wrote.
You have to remember this was like Hoobastank’s one hit wonder. They didn’t change the face of the music industry.
Look at a band like Nirvana and what they were capable of doing in less than a decade. Kurt’s songwriting had really dark and raw meanings to it. Sure the melodies were simple too, but it was so different that it completely destroyed 80s glam metal and ushered in the new genre of grunge.
Coldplay is another band that was very popular during the time of Hoobastank and they too have written a lot of “magic moment” songs that have influenced a lot of bands, especially on their first 3 albums.
I just feel like you really like this song a lot and are making some bold assumptions toward a band that hasn’t had a history of being iconic except for 1 song.
Adam way to shit on it all, Adam. I bet you don’t have a hit song. Let people enjoy shit.
Best version❤❤❤ Love that they are still together.
Shrooms kicked in way to hard and brought me in all the feels with this one ❤️
So Nostalgic, thanks Hoobastank for making this unforgettable song.
Such a damn classic tune. And everyone’s already said it: NOSTALGIA!
I've never heard a song like this!
This song is so special to me. So many memories... What a journey!!
