This is bittersweet. My husband used to open for them. He passed away years later. I've lived and breathed their songs since I was young. This is still my anthem.
Agreed. But I did enjoy most versions of their songs in Red Rocks. I heard something that his voice had taken a toll on him up until then...Not sure but yeah I like this one too.
@@rossnr100, live performances are the only way to judge true talent. Anybody can mix and edit an album to make it sound good. But can they play it live In front of 100's to 1000's of people and make it better than what you hear on the album? Most can't, only artists with actual talent can.
@@brianstearns3692 No one cares dude. BTW using pitch corrections isn't a bad thing. Its normal I'd do it too. I have multiple GGD tattoos so Im not exactly a hater.Seen them 11 times too met them twice.
Hey bubba I'm in my 40s this song reminds me of high school and my friends. We took a random trip to South Padre Island our senior year. We jammed this song and many more in a 1989 mustang. Man that was fun
@@bradparker9664 You know the struggle is real, dog. I'm in my mid 40s, my dreams are shattered and hated on by family and so called friends. Raise a glass and poor a little out for the homies, but more importantly for WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. Cheers, dog. But more importantly, Peace & Love for yourself and real niggs like me, brotha!
Imagine being so talented at song writing that just playing the first riff of a depressing song makes thousands of people lose their minds. That would be the greatest feeling ever
"Scars are souvenirs you never lose The past is never far Did you lose yourself somewhere out there? Did you get to be a star? And don't it make you sad to know that life Is more than who we are" This part hits me like a ton of bricks, every single time
I have depression, and I’m leaving the school I’ve been at for 4 years in a week. The emotions I’m feeling aren’t really something that can be articulated, but whatever it is. This song speaks to it. It’s nostalgic and wistful and you can hear the pain behind every word. Thank you Goo Goo Dolls for saving my life on multiple occasions
I suffered from depression for ten years. Ended up CHOOSING to embrace life. That choice has served me well. Can't tell you how much I love these sappy love songs but I truly do. Also love life but it is indeed a choice. Read Kierkegaard if you are so disposed.
unreal song. I dont know about you guys but it is extremely nostalgic for me. I'm a 90s kid and this reminds me of strictly my great childhood when there wasn't a worry in the world. love it.
"And even tho the moment passed me by, I still can't turn away"...We've all been there, but he says it so beautifully. MY favorite first line of ANY song.
That's an impressive concert resumé on Bon Jovi. I saw them 6/28/89 in Denver. I've never seen anyone more than twice. I was speaking with a friend not long ago who has attended 57 Roger McGuinn shows. Apparently, I need to get out more.
I cry .My son ROBBY was a star WITH his guitar is how I found this song on his bed the last song he played for me 7:28 pm July 21,2007.saturday night .
His song transcends the ages allowing everyone to understand and feel the message conveyed. Good music is that way. Helps to forget that I'm getting old.
These boys are just DAMN SPECIAL. They're music just gives me goose bumps, that's what this song does to me. My wife got me tickets to the STL show next Friday. It's going to be AMAZING. First time for me seeing Goo Goo Dolls live. Im an idiot 😤 not seeing them before in my life, I've always liked they're music. Johnny is a BAD ASS live. So COOL 😎
This song played on the radio last week. I looked it up. Been listening to it all week. So powerful, so deep, so raw. Perfect! Perfect! Never had a song speak to me so much.
It’s really not. It’s More like a change of audience. Bands like this aren’t popular anymore due to a lack of listeners because of pop culture unfortunately :/
Vou deixar meu desabafo aqui; Um concerto desse nunca mais veremos. A voz, o timbre, a dedicação em cada estrofe, as notas tocadas perfeitas, a música, a letra, a Banda, estamos em 2023 e não vejo isso a mais de 2 décadas...... Os músicos de hj não sei mais oque fazem...... Love u GGD!!!!
Wow, he sings so well, live. One of my all-time favorites... My sincerest thanks to him and his group for formulating and showing this song to the world. Something about it is just so special to me.
I'm a 31 year old male and I'm not ashamed to say I've played this song a billion times in my life. In fact every time I hear it I get this great feeling from when I was young and listening to this on my CD player while shooting hoops in the summer thinking of a girl.
When I listen to their music I just get lost in it. I can not do anything but sit there and listen so intensely. Like- they are telling me a story and my life is over if I dont hear the end of it. I don't love anything as much as I love their music.
I’ve always told my sister this is my “funeral song” as in I NEED this song to be played at my funeral. I feel bad because she gets so sad when this song comes on, she says she hates it now. 😢
One of my all time favorites. Reminds me of a best friend that is better off in heaven. His struggles were too much. RIP Duane! Miss u every day and every time I hear this song I think of you! RIP brother
The Goo Goo Doll's are so win. I remember it(dizzy up the girl) was one of the first cd's i ever bought in california on a family road trip from iowa at age like.. 10 or 12.. Amazing Music
For my beautiful little brother Tom, this band’s music was what helped him to progress into a very talented self-taught guitar player, a strong irish folk influence was what he finished with before he was cruely taken from us. “Tom Kennedy” “Have you no home” Until we see you again Tom 💔♥️🙏🏻
There's just something magical about John's jangly guitar at 3:36 that just touches the deepest parts of my soul. He hits me in the feels everytime and thats a place i rarely go. GGD Fan Forever! ❤🕊
Johnny Resnik is a AMAZING Musician & song writer + he is GORGEOUS!!! Had the chance 2 catch them twice last year in Florida!!! They are ALWAYS FABULOUS!!! Rock on Johnny & Robby!!! PEACE and LOVE to YOU ⚜️ ⚜️☮️☮️⚜️ ⚜️☮️☮️
Saw these guys at Tipitinas in NOLA I think Oct.98' it was a free show just had to show up early and get in line. Think they played 4 or 5 songs. It was worth the wait in line!
2 of my sons, DIL and 3 grandkids live outside of Denver...been to Red Rocks, but haven't ever been able to catch a concert! Dan Fogleberg performed there right before he passed, and we had to head back to Nebraska 😰 Red Rocks is amazing!

Keep ya head up Erica. It's the only way to see him up top.
@@ericlutz7939 thank you Eric :)
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I am truly sorry for your loss.Nothing hurts like the loss of your other half.Keep his memory alive and in your heart.
What band was your husband in that opened up for Goo Goo Dolls?
In my humble opinion, the best version of Name they've ever done
Agreed. But I did enjoy most versions of their songs in Red Rocks. I heard something that his voice had taken a toll on him up until then...Not sure but yeah I like this one too.
There Letterman performance of it was the best to me, both are great.
Steve M is this on cd?

You weren’t even dissing those things, just mentioning this was done without. Great song 🤘🏻I was 13 when it came out, was all over the radio
i wanted everyone to know your comment spot on..
Some of the most brilliant lyrics ever...
I think Johnny Rzeznik is a one-in-a-million song writer
Scars are souvenirs you never lose, the past is never far...
Life is hard. I sometimes wonder how we move on from tragedy. It is an unbelievable journey.
... hi there whatsthestory,... i´m writing you from Germany and it´s the same line, that makes me wonder... Cheers to you...
@@ernsteichelhauer6241 kiuji it 666,5tj99.

Amen. One of the best life lyrics ever written
I'm a grown ass man in my twenties, but this song hits me right in the feels.
Probably because many people can relate to it. There are so many raw emotions in this song.
What is an "ass man"? It dont sound good.

@@joshuaderstine6934, it's kind like an eyes man, or a titty man, he just likes asses, to each their own.

"Don't it make you sad to know that LIFE is more than who we are".........Such meaning. I love these guys.
This line hits me the hardest than any other in any song. It hits deep in a sad and so very true way. In the end, we will all be dust.
I agree ❤❤❤
when that first guitar strum hits, I'm pulled straight back to high school and the smell of this CD case when I opened it.
This song saved my life more times than i could count. Thanks Goo Goo Dolls!
I can relate

If you listen carefully...2:08...you can hear his voice echo through the mountains
"Scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there?
Did you get to be a star?
And don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are"
This part hits me like a ton of bricks, every single time
The last two lines hit hard
funny how his most "depressing" songs make me smile the most :P

Same. Listening to the top 10 on Bayou 104 sitting on the bunk bed with my brother. Brings me right back there.
John is really something special. A complete genius and in my opinion the most talented musician in the world
I cry when I hear this song. Anyone of you all feel the same way?
+J Gallardo damn bro
gavg92 It's a deep story. It's has a lot of ethos.
***** Are you an orphan?

I feel a lot of people can relate to this
Rochell Barbara yes
"And even tho the moment passed me by, I still can't turn away"...We've all been there, but he says it so beautifully. MY favorite first line of ANY song.
I’ve seen the goo goo dolls once and Bon Jovi 20 times. If I could I’d replace all 20 bonjovi concerts for 1 goo goo show. They’re amazing live
That's an impressive concert resumé on Bon Jovi. I saw them 6/28/89 in Denver. I've never seen anyone more than twice. I was speaking with a friend not long ago who has attended 57 Roger McGuinn shows. Apparently, I need to get out more.

The way he sings “now there’s nothing to believe” in this version always gives me chills
This is one of those great songs that after one time you hear it you will always like it
And will stay with you forever
Think back at my childhood, this song hits me. Longing for what was and what never would be.

I love them in concert, have seen them four times now and hoping to see them again whenever they go on tour again. Johnny is outstanding!
I saw him in Orange County, California Summer 2021. He has such a great sense of humor
I love this video!! It resonates with me on a level I can't explain. I watch it everyday. I miss the music of the past 😞
This song played on the radio last week. I looked it up. Been listening to it all week. So powerful, so deep, so raw. Perfect! Perfect! Never had a song speak to me so much.
Actual talent. Sounds just as good live.
I'm 64 ,lost many loved ones, the moment passed me by 💔
Same
"Scars are souvenirs you never lose". No truer statement in the history of the world.
I think this is the most moving songs by the goo goo dolls. Simple symbolism explain some important rituals we all experience.
If you've never seen a concert at Red Rocks, suggest it gets added to your bucket list. What a place!! Magical!!
Wow, their live performances are always soo good.
Truly one of the greatest songwriters of our time. Thank you John for this masterpiece.
I'm 16, and I've loved them since I was born. My dad has called me "Googie" since I was very little, after them. God, I love this band so much.
Woah you’re 27 now!

John, he is a true Artist and a musician, one of the best and always will be! We should be thanking you.

Now you’re 41… time flies. Right behind y’a at 39 here.
Checking on you. How are you doing? Been ten years since you posted that comment. How's life treating you? Wish you all the best. Take care man
Scars are souvenirs you never lose...the past is never far
How true!!!
Man John's talent never ends and why so many dislikes this is amazing!
less than 1% of the people who saw it disliked it lmao
True!!! Haha
My favorite Goo song. I just get lost in this....LOVE it!!
This is talent! He wrote, he composed it, he performed it...and it is timeless!
Wow even better live!!❤🌹
I've had brain surgery for brain cancer, the line "scars are souvenirs" means a lot to me.
how can anyone dislike this!?? This is live music at its very best!!!
That voice ... that MAN. There's nobody like him. Still so hot, such greatness. LUV the Dolls!
Ha, I totally get why your panties would get wet. Jhonny is a master.
When I listen to their music I just get lost in it. I can not do anything but sit there and listen so intensely. Like- they are telling me a story and my life is over if I dont hear the end of it. I don't love anything as much as I love their music.
Why does this not have more views? Great song and great version!

I am 17 years old and the goo goo dolls have helped me out so much. Love these guys
I had a crush on a girl at college when this song was a hit. I never knew her name.
Same! Thinking about her hurts a little and makes me smile.
Her name is mark. He is an mma fighter now.
Such a gorgeous tune..Still very much alive 2 days away from 2023
beautiful beautiful beautiful! one of my all time fave
My fav too

it's that his voice is so deep and far. great musician!
Best version of this song ever
Absolutely lovely song. John is a very beautiful man
This is a top 25 all time song. JR - it is a masterpiece.
That Acoustic has a great sound. When you combine the words and the music it's a very thought provoking song.
this is perhaps the best live performance of all time
What a folk guitar..and the bass line..awesome
This song could not be more perfect! Love it!

2017 yo and i caught them live a month ago
Came out year I graduated from high school, still one of the best. Thanks for the memories.
A tired song plays on a tired radio.... always loved that verse
To jest cudowne,genialne.......
I' m Polish and I'd like to say that it's
brilliant,awesome........
Czesc, jak się masz? I’m learning polish now. Did you know that Johnny Rzeznik, the singer of the Goo Goo Dolls here, is of Polish descent?
What an amazing voice! Unbelievable!
