11/2024-I had to stop by to listen to this song. My friend recently passed away of cancer and the last time I saw him was Labor Day weekend. While we were out driving he popped this cd in and we sang it at the top of our lungs , just like we had when it first came out. This was the last song, the last time we sang together, and with the windows rolled down; just like we were back in our 20s again. He really loved this song. Thank you
Perhaps one of the best songs describing the beauty of a flawed existence. Only once you are married or a woman in her mid-30's does this song really start to make sense. I'm happily married and my wife is all of these things, and absolutely love her for it. She's 100% authentically her own self. Life gets complicated as you age. Learn to embrace it. It's all about how you respond, and has never been about being perfect. Humans are beautiful.
@Corn Fed This song came out in the 90's and was apart of the 90's generation. Boomers need to stop taking credit for shit they didn't create. Listen to ANY 60's generation song, the 60's and 90's do not sound the same at all.
Corn Fed ... Not stop baby. Stop, children; Stop, hey; Stop, now. Those three versions of the first words of the chorus alternated through the song. One of my favorites from the beginning.
But also: When you hurt - when you suffer, I'm your angel undercover. That is how strong people (girls) are. Respect our freedom - and we will do everything for you. Just don't force us. xx

@@EllssBellss19 While that's entirely possible, the wording doesn't make it seem so. Also why would being "50+" years old have any connection with this song?
I'm 62 and it just makes more and more sense to me. LOVE this song: reflects hundreds of years of feminism--Wollstonecraft, Woolf, etc..................
Yes. I remember I used to watch VH1 and they were playing alternative music constantly. This video, Natalie Imbruglia's Torn, and The Verve's Bittersweet Symphony were the alternative videos constantly playing in the 90s and any time I see one of them again, I'm transported to the 90s.
@@lidu6363 k ... and? the song is great non the less are you that insecure that a song portraying a strong/independant woman schackle you? and the comment was not about that all but was reflecting of a time when you had only music on mtv for the huge majority wich is thrue btw
I don't understand what the commenters reacting to me were getting at. There has always been some sort of agenda, just because we tend to forget doesn't mean it wasn't there.
miss the 90s. i miss music that had depth, meaning, emotion. a lot on the radio today sounds the same. music was the best in the 90s, in all genres. now it's rare to hear a guitar solo in any song
Its true people rather take the quick make money approach. If people can make crap music and get away with it they will. Its a genre of fans for that lol
My military wife played this song at certain times during our marriage as a reminder, 33 years. She still out ranks me. ❤ May my kids find my playlist ☮️
i am 16 years old. my mom showed me this song years ago. its always been one of her favorite songs, and i ended up loving it too. we always played it in the car together. 2 weeks ago she had a heart attack, and has been in a coma ever since. a few days ago, i received the news that she isn’t going to survive, and that she will pass away. yesterday i went in to talk to her for the last time even though she couldn’t respond to me. i made a playlist of her favorite songs, and out of all of them, i picked this one. i played it for her one last time. as i listened to it, the lyrics almost felt like a direct response from my mom to me, and i completely broke down. this song will hold a special place in my heart forever. i love you mom. thank you for reading (ps: thank you all for your support. it means everything to me. but i feel like it’s worth noting that i’m a boy 😂 everybody keeps calling me “babygirl” in the replies
I believe that your mom heard this amazing song one last time, and that she knew you were there with her. I am so sorry for the pain you are feeling, as losing a mother is so incredibly difficult...there are no words.

This is the last song my mother and I sang together at a karaoke party before she passed away in 2013. This song will always bring back good memories of her because it was one of her favorites. I love you Mom.
One of the coolest strongest songs ever. Once happily intimidated by the lyrics. Now, I love the perfect power and appreciate them on a new level. I’m just a guy who craves self evaluation. With love. Right on Meredith
Amen. 💯. She nailed it. In many ways, this song is the testimonial of truth you experience when you hit middle-age. Know who you are. Zero apologies, zero fucks given if you have your integrity.
I'm actually in this video. I'm the skateboarder "floating" in the air around 1:46 - 1:48. I was actually hooked onto a cable that was edited out in the final process of the video, and they hooked the board onto my feet so it would stay attached in the shot. I'm also in a few other shots as well towards the end. I was 15 years old at the time who was a Sophomore in High School, and my mom was great friends with the producer who pitched the idea that I make an appearance in the video as an extra which I was psyched about knowing I was gonna be in a music video. The shooting began around the Spring of 97', and my parts on camera took about a day to shoot. Afterwards, it gave me goosebumps how successful it became, and later how it's nostalgic when people recollect their memories from the 90's as do I. I didn't officially meet Meredith until after its success. Very talented woman.
I was watching as I was reading your post and so I got to see you directly after - perfect timing for me and great story to have and that looked hella fun
Awesome to stuntman levels! You made it look futuristic, really cool in the early days of the Internet, and CGI animation/video editing software! Ahead of the times!
I think people forget what a HUGE hit this was in the summer of 1997! She jumped on the bandwagon of Alternative Rock Women that Alanis Morissette paved the way for. What is ironic is that people always mistakenly think that Alanis Morissette sang this song because Alanis was the biggest music star on the planet for a good while. I love this song, I hope Meredith Brooks laughed all the way to the bank with it. She struck while the iron was hot! I highly recommend the song "Wash My Hands" by Meredith Brooks & listen to the opening sample before the guitar chords begin! What an awesome way to open a song! Much love from Omaha, Nebraska!
really never mistook meredith for Alanis , this was a massive banger in 1997 and this vid was in high rotation on mtv , thing is bitch was her only hit making her a one hit wonder of sorts
Back in '97, I remember being completely hammered with a bunch of really great friends in an awesome little bar at closing time, singing this song at the top of our lungs. it was one of those spontaneous moments that still makes me smile all these years later. 25 years later, I just don't have moments, or friends, like that any more.
Thanks for the smile. I was only 11 when it came out, but me and my lil cousin would sing at the top of our lungs. We had a rough life and related to the song a little top much😂❤
@@pauljordan4452 I think being the pope at 38 would be incredibly fascinating (that’s what it translated to)! And it’s also great for him that he’s a father! No need to burst people bubbles for no reason.
@@MamaMOB Hold on. I speak Spanish and Papa is also dad. I'm autistic, grew up with adults and see a woman as a human and a companion, not a temporary sexual partner. So most females my age turned out to be unsuitable in any case, and I'm celibate. I'm 38. Being a grandpa at this age would be remarkable, wouldn't it?
Man, I can remember singing this at the top of my lungs in my bedroom mirror when I was 13/14 and having no clue what life had in store for me. Now, after three kids and about 24 years later, and a whole life of experiences, I can say that I truly connected with this song so long ago for a reason. Wishing Meredith would go on tour one last time so I could see her live
I can relate to every word u said from the singing as a kid to having 3 kids myself I'm 34 now and I FINALLY GET THIS SONG it's so crazy how the older you get the more you connect.
So true lol I would be watch mtv or vh1 and be pissed when she’d hit #1 over Hanson’s “mmmbop”... I can relate to both but undertanding this song now at 33, ahh makes so much more sense 😂
As a 34 year old man I still feel I can relate to this song. When I think of the 90s this is always at the front of my mind. Side note, a woman writing her own song, playing her own instruments? Don’t see that too much these days. She was really talented, it’s too bad she didn’t get any recognition after this.
“I’m a goddess on my knees...” that can be taken in sooo many different ways to explain or talk about soooo many situations. This is us women to the max. This song is everything. Gospel ♥️
When my late Wife heard this song for the first time, she took it as her theme tune (everyone should have their own theme tune, don't you think) as she thought it described her down to a tee. Watching this again helped me remember all of the great times, and the sad, but still one hell of a song. Thank you.
Being a kid in the 90s, I couldn’t wait to be an adult in the 2000s Now that I’m an adult in the 2000s, I wish I could go back to being a kid in the 90s Edit: I’m not changing it to “2020s”. We’re in the 2000s. Suck it
90s was a magical period, and I’m happy I was able to be a child during a time of such freedom and creativity. I miss those days so much and I’d love to visit so badly
nah, I was 23 when this song was released, wasn't much different than today, but not something I'd want to do all over again. always go forward, never backwards
And this is why Men should stop enabling women and let them sink with their dysfunctions. It was a good song to listen to but now it is the mantra of foolish women who practice no self control. Yes we men WOULD want you a different way. Grounded. Rational. Sane. Believe this song is gospel and something to live by and you are admitting you're not worth anyone's time.
yep, menopause turns really fun women into bitter, miserable and insufferable pains in the asses. this is why so many cultures allowed multiple wives, i am convinced of it lol
I was a child singing this song and now im 32 with 2 kids and I relate to this song. Just the memories of my mom playing this song growing up. May God bless your soul mom 7/17/2005 going on 19 years without you
This song is the reason I do not feel ashamed for what I am. Thank you for teaching me to embrace me. No adult in my life could do that. I'm only now realizing what you did for me. You're amazing. It's 2021. I'm still appreciative.
This is on my Emotional Rescue Playlist. Listened today and realized I was making some decisions that would be self-betrayal. Decided to rethink them. This song helped and I am grateful for that.
@@grayfox4239 I am! Listening to this tune was part of a meandering path which led me to deciding, age 64, to love myself the way I love others instead of loathing myself for being imperfect. My loved ones rejoice my new choice and affectionately say "We TOLD you so!"
I grow-up listening to the 90's music. I miss those days but I am glad I, got to experience to experience growing up in the 90's era. Best memories of my life!!!.
5 days ago this was played at my mum's funeral. 54 and died of a heart attack. To be true to my mum, since she always sang along to this song as much as she used to play this when i was in my teens - I sang along at her funeral. Christ the pain is like nothing else.
this story is eerily similar to my experience. i understand exactly how you’re feeling. it’s been 8 months for me and i still can’t fully process it. it doesn’t even feel real.
@@zay4080 I'm sorry for your loss too. My husband lost his father in the same way 9 years ago. Again, to a heart attack. Both died the same way. Stood up and went down instantly. I now see why they say heart attacks are the number one killer in the world. My grandad died of a heart attack waiting in line at the post office. I'm so sorry to you losing your parent. I never realised just how painful it was for my husband to lose his father until i lost my mum. I knew it was tough, but until it happened to me, i didn't realise just how bad it could hurt. My father was a broken man at the funeral. 40 years of marriage. December was their anniversary. I'm here again because this is my first Christmas without my mum. It's also still so fresh that she's gone. I feel so sick every time i see people celebrating Christmas right now. Torn between grief and happiness. She loved Christmas, and i want to celebrate it for her. But at the same time she's not here to celebrate it. I will never forgive the way she was taken. Tories can burn in Hell for what they've done to the NHS. When she needed help they failed her in the most basic of ways. She waited 40 minutes for an ambulance and died for it. By the time they attended, she was well gone. They told my sister to run to the nearest police station and get the defib machine - Despite her not being authorised or trained to use it. If she had lived she'd have torn them a new A-Hole. She worked with Teachers union fighting for teacher's rights and had visited parliament several times. RIP mum. 💔
Not sure when exactly this was posted, but i recently lost my dad. I have listened to this song a lot since then, trying to draw strength and just be who i am, grieve how I want, and love like I will never be hurt again. You are right about the pain. My dad was 72, and I got so many blessed years with him, but the pain. Ooh, that is worse than childbirth 10x over, because there is no end in sight.
AsSalam Alaikum, Peace and blessings upon creatures of God, dogs and bitches, they also have souls, however, we mankind children of Adam are not dogs and bitches, we are brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters. Blessings of God be upon all brothers and sisters, please read the message of your brother. There is no god (ilah) but God (Allah) and Muhammad (sws) is a servant and messenger of God. God is just One, there is no such thing like Jewish God, Christian God, Hindu God, Sikh God etc. It is quite logical, suppose a Jewish girl marries a Hindu man and their baby is born, then who created that baby. Was the baby created by Jewish God or was the baby created by Hindu God. This proves God is One and the baby was created by God who created all babies. Thank you, your reward is with God only. Please let me share few words about God. Say, He God is One. Uniquely One. (Not like as Trinitarian tells you. 3 in 1 and 1 in 3) All are in need of God, but God is not in need of anything or anyone. He does not have children (i.e. no minor gods) nor He is born. (i.e. He alone is God). None is comparable to Him. Nothing is like Him. Quran (Purity) Chapter 112
(I love this song, it gives me hope for the future) I’m a man, I’m a lover, I’m son, I’m a father, I’m a sinner, I’m a saint, why should I feel ashamed.
This is amazing song. It gives you the message to embrace all aspects of your identity as a human being, consider it all important to your personhood, and don't be ashamed of it. This song will always live on.
Ich war 1997 in New Orlens ... habe damals im Club " Raazooo " ... die hübsche " Anny " ( Meredith Broocks ) kennen gelernt ... Sie ist einfach classe und küsst fantastisch ... Yes Baby ... You are the Best !!!😮
As a man, i so miss the days of genuinely empowered woman. This song represents it so well. Explains all the many facets of a real woman, and sums it up with " dont try and save me!". ❤
recently my mom passed away. i was given the news of her passing on august 17th. she wasnt my bio mom, or legal mom, but she took it upon herself to play the mother role in my life. she was only 33, and would have been 34 on dec 6th. she left behind a 4 year old little boy, and me, a 17 year old girl. i remember, just a few weeks before she passed, i played this song in her truck as she drove me home, and of course, she knew it. she said it was her anthem. both her and i felt this song related to us, and described us in a sense. i think of her whenever i hear this song, now. rest in peace, Katie Bug. i love you, and i miss you. ♡♡♡♡
This song was and still is the anthem for all us women out there. Don't ever be ashamed of being the hot mess that we all are. Being a little bit of everything is what makes us the great and beautiful beings that we are.
This song always resonated with me in every phase of my life as a woman and now that I've learned today is Meredith's birthday and we're both Gemini it hits home even more so! Happy Birthday beautiful!
I am Indian. And this song brings back to my childhood memories. Living in a hard-core patriarchal society, seeing women socially conditioned to "behave" themselves, this song was a relief. It was like "Thank God someone understood"!
@@Jxjzusvsjxoidshsbsjjsjjj Save your sympathy for the blue haired lefty who thinks acting like a truck driver makes you a “strong” woman. She needs it.
This song really makes me feel old. Brings back so many memories of the 90s. No internet really. No cell phones. No camera on every inch of the Earth. I was 13 when this song came out, and now sitting at 38 thinking... all the lost loved ones. All the classmates you've never seen again. All the fun we used to have actually socializing and going to events to talk to people. Just felt so much more free for lack of a better word. Where did 25 years go?
@@joeyglass3783 Just yesterday, 19th May 2024, I watched a Breakfast Club 105.1 FM, New York City, USA, interview on TH-cam, where Jimmie "JJ" Walker said that we guys were two faced in the sense that when we went to bed with a lady for the 1st time, we expected her to be both a virgin and a "sex goddess/sex machine/top performer in bed." True, right? Meredith Brook's 1997 song above, "Bitch," captures what Jimmie "JJ" Walker said, right? Regards, Michael M. Kamau, Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa, 20th May 2024.
Such song only came out once in a decade. What a riff 🎸🎛 A 'scandalous' on its own, back then! She made an impact with the song. It is iconic - though in Asia I used to hear the announcer on radio was renaming it 'Nothing in Between' 💥 Utter masterpiece.
This is one of many songs from the '90s I will always remember so vividly, because I remember I had just turned 7 years old right around when this song released in May 1997. My mother and me were out driving somewhere, she then turns the radio to the rock station and the DJ announces here's a "New singles hit by Meredith Brooks". I remember my mom being so blown away by the song she went out and bought the album the next day at Wal-Mart and probably played it about 100+ times throughout the summer. Something I'll never forget.
I remember in my childhood during summer vacation my older sister would wake up early to watch this music video on MTV’s top 10 music videos the year it came out. Being a 90’s kid was the best.
This song is so spot on... It describes a narcissistic sociopathic female. It describes the girl that broke my heart by lying and cheating on me. She cannot be fixed, and just like the lyrics say... she doesn't want to be fixed. This song describes Jessica, the girl I'm in love with, so perfectly. I now see it, and can't wait to be free from her grip. Trust me, this song is brilliant.
Not really, it's a good song but "brilliant" is a generous word to use. This song is about a woman who doesn't know how to process her emotions and flips out randomly. There's no deeper meaning here.

I hate the world today
You're so good to me
I know but I can't change
Tried to tell you
But you look at me like maybe
I'm an angel underneath
Innocent and sweet
Yesterday I cried
Must have been relieved to see
The softer side
I can understand how you'd be so confused
I don't envy you
I'm a little bit of everything
All rolled into one
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way
So take me as I am
This may mean
You'll have to be a stronger man
Rest assured that
When I start to make you nervous
And I'm going to extremes
Tomorrow I will change
And today won't mean a thing
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way
Just when you think, you got me figured out
The season's already changing
I think it's cool, you do what you do
And don't try to save me
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way
I'm a bitch, I'm a tease
I'm a goddess on my knees
When you hurt, when you suffer
I'm your angel undercover
I've been numb, I'm revived
Can't say I'm not alive
You know I wouldn't want it any other way
Thank you

It's so crazy that Meredith Brooks is almost 60 years old. We are getting old too fast.
Cool

music is timeless, time is kind of non existent if you believe so. Love :) ❤
Harold Cox Wow, thanks, that makes me feel better. I am 56 now and I still relate to 90's music. Age isn't nothing but a number baby.
Fuck BRING BACK THE 90's

i'm turning 40 this year and i'm listening to this playlist, remembering all the years that have gone by. What a pleasure !
Im 35 and this beautiful song this feels like I was when I was 8/9 years old! ❤🫶🏻

@hannahbrown5104 Me too. I was 7 when this came out in 1997. 33 going 34 this year, September.
this is the most 90's thing I've ever seen

Back when MTV was still about music.
Seriously?
This song is nothing if not feminist.
@@lidu6363 k ... and? the song is great non the less
are you that insecure that a song portraying a strong/independant woman schackle you?
and the comment was not about that all but was reflecting of a time when you had only music on mtv for the huge majority wich is thrue btw
@@lidu6363beta male😂
I don't understand what the commenters reacting to me were getting at. There has always been some sort of agenda, just because we tend to forget doesn't mean it wasn't there.
There's still MTV 90's
miss the 90s. i miss music that had depth, meaning, emotion. a lot on the radio today sounds the same. music was the best in the 90s, in all genres. now it's rare to hear a guitar solo in any song
Its true people rather take the quick make money approach. If people can make crap music and get away with it they will. Its a genre of fans for that lol
Sounds like you need to seek more tunes
you realize they said the same thing in the 90s about our music and 60-80 music right?
My military wife played this song at certain times during our marriage as a reminder, 33 years. She still out ranks me. ❤ May my kids find my playlist ☮️
i am 16 years old. my mom showed me this song years ago. its always been one of her favorite songs, and i ended up loving it too. we always played it in the car together. 2 weeks ago she had a heart attack, and has been in a coma ever since. a few days ago, i received the news that she isn’t going to survive, and that she will pass away. yesterday i went in to talk to her for the last time even though she couldn’t respond to me. i made a playlist of her favorite songs, and out of all of them, i picked this one. i played it for her one last time. as i listened to it, the lyrics almost felt like a direct response from my mom to me, and i completely broke down. this song will hold a special place in my heart forever. i love you mom.
thank you for reading
(ps: thank you all for your support. it means everything to me. but i feel like it’s worth noting that i’m a boy 😂 everybody keeps calling me “babygirl” in the replies
Miracles exist and hopefully your mom’s health is one of them. All the best for you and your mom.
Y'all will sing it again on the other side!
❤️❤️❤️
Very sorry for your loss
I believe that your mom heard this amazing song one last time, and that she knew you were there with her. I am so sorry for the pain you are feeling, as losing a mother is so incredibly difficult...there are no words.
Lyrics
I hate the world today
You're so good to me
I know but I can't change
Tried to tell you
But you look at me like maybe
I'm an angel underneath
Innocent and sweet
Yesterday I cried
You must have been relieved
To see the softer side
I can understand how you'd be so confused
I don't envy you
I'm a little bit of everything
All rolled into one
I'm a bitch
I'm a lover
I'm a child
I'm a mother
I'm a sinner
I'm a saint
And I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell
I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way
So take me as I am
This may mean you'll have to be a stronger man
Rest assured that when I start to make you nervous
And I'm going to extremes
Tomorrow I will change
And today won't mean a thing
I'm a bitch
I'm a lover
I'm a child
I'm a mother
I'm a sinner
I'm a saint
And I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell
I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way
Just when you think you've got me figured out
The season's already changin'
I think it's cool you do what you do
And don't try to save me
I'm a bitch
I'm a lover
I'm a child
I'm a mother
I'm a sinner
I'm a saint
And I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell
I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way
I'm a bitch
I'm a tease
I'm a goddess on my knees
When you hurt
When you suffer
I'm your angel undercover
I've been numb
I'm revived
Can't say I'm not alive
You know I wouldn't want it any other way
YOU'RE WELCOME
Thanks :)
Thanks because they are so complex I really needed someone to display them for me
Thanks 👌

Right!
I was about 9 when this came out. Good times!
Facts all day
Yes with three kids... It makes total sense.
The 90's are the best. Especially with the female artists. They Rock.

Have you also heard Bloke by Chris Franklin? It’s a parody adaptation of this song!
One of the coolest strongest songs ever. Once happily intimidated by the lyrics. Now, I love the perfect power and appreciate them on a new level. I’m just a guy who craves self evaluation. With love. Right on Meredith
Amen. 💯.
She nailed it. In many ways, this song is the testimonial of truth you experience when you hit middle-age. Know who you are. Zero apologies, zero fucks given if you have your integrity.
I'm actually in this video. I'm the skateboarder "floating" in the air around 1:46 - 1:48. I was actually hooked onto a cable that was edited out in the final process of the video, and they hooked the board onto my feet so it would stay attached in the shot. I'm also in a few other shots as well towards the end. I was 15 years old at the time who was a Sophomore in High School, and my mom was great friends with the producer who pitched the idea that I make an appearance in the video as an extra which I was psyched about knowing I was gonna be in a music video. The shooting began around the Spring of 97', and my parts on camera took about a day to shoot. Afterwards, it gave me goosebumps how successful it became, and later how it's nostalgic when people recollect their memories from the 90's as do I. I didn't officially meet Meredith until after its success. Very talented woman.

Cool story bro. Seriously. I mean it. That's pretty fucking cool.👍🏼
Welp, now I gotta watch this one more time to see you.
I was watching as I was reading your post and so I got to see you directly after - perfect timing for me and great story to have and that looked hella fun
Awesome to stuntman levels! You made it look futuristic, really cool in the early days of the Internet, and CGI animation/video editing software! Ahead of the times!
I thing she's a wonderful an d fine woman. It's that "geetarist" name that causes the problems
the 90's WOMEN ROCK
I think people forget what a HUGE hit this was in the summer of 1997! She jumped on the bandwagon of Alternative Rock Women that Alanis Morissette paved the way for. What is ironic is that people always mistakenly think that Alanis Morissette sang this song because Alanis was the biggest music star on the planet for a good while. I love this song, I hope Meredith Brooks laughed all the way to the bank with it. She struck while the iron was hot! I highly recommend the song "Wash My Hands" by Meredith Brooks & listen to the opening sample before the guitar chords begin! What an awesome way to open a song! Much love from Omaha, Nebraska!
Yeah dude. On my local 104.5 "The Cat" in 97', this was called in #1 on the nightly Top 10 for several weeks straight.
@@CellarDoorx06 lmao" the cat"
@@holaespanoldewisconsin7153 Ha, seriously that's its name. It's still around.
I have the original CD release that was a cardboard sleeve rather than a jewel box. :)
really never mistook meredith for Alanis , this was a massive banger in 1997 and this vid was in high rotation on mtv , thing is bitch was her only hit making her a one hit wonder of sorts
Back in '97, I remember being completely hammered with a bunch of really great friends in an awesome little bar at closing time, singing this song at the top of our lungs. it was one of those spontaneous moments that still makes me smile all these years later. 25 years later, I just don't have moments, or friends, like that any more.
Ik what u mean
Thanks for the smile. I was only 11 when it came out, but me and my lil cousin would sing at the top of our lungs. We had a rough life and related to the song a little top much😂❤
I was 12 years old in 1997 😂

Man, I can remember singing this at the top of my lungs in my bedroom mirror when I was 13/14 and having no clue what life had in store for me. Now, after three kids and about 24 years later, and a whole life of experiences, I can say that I truly connected with this song so long ago for a reason. Wishing Meredith would go on tour one last time so I could see her live
I can relate to every word u said from the singing as a kid to having 3 kids myself I'm 34 now and I FINALLY GET THIS SONG it's so crazy how the older you get the more you connect.

Yes, definitely 💯
I’m 43 and I couldn’t agree more. It’s still an absolute banger. 🤘
42 here also and so true!
Funny to see that the women of my age (40) are saying exactly the same thing than you..... :)
Wow this brought back so many great memories of growing up in the 90s with my single mom. I should call her and tell her I love her more often.
This song is part of the "If you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best" starter kit.
if you cant handle me at my Meredith Brooks, then you dont deserve my Meredith Brooks.
This song is the last song I expected to be on my playlist especially since I don't cuss
"If you can't handle me when I'm being a psychotic bitch you don't deserve me when I'm pretending to be normal."
@@gachascarly9322 its on my play list since i cuss and so does my girlfriend and she is irish catholic
I fucking love that wording. I need to remember that.
When I was a teen I didn't get this song, now being a 34 year old mom and juggling life and relationships, I get it.
I'm a dude and I get it now. Cheers.
So true lol I would be watch mtv or vh1 and be pissed when she’d hit #1 over Hanson’s “mmmbop”... I can relate to both but undertanding this song now at 33, ahh makes so much more sense 😂
Likewise 💯💞🤘
Didn't get the song til you grew into the bitch you are. Nice
Males have been "getting it" since puberty, get with it bitches.
One of the few songs from the 90s that is still worth listening to today.
As a 34 year old man I still feel I can relate to this song. When I think of the 90s this is always at the front of my mind. Side note, a woman writing her own song, playing her own instruments? Don’t see that too much these days. She was really talented, it’s too bad she didn’t get any recognition after this.
She didn't write it alone. Shelly Peiken cowrote it.
Right?!?! No recognition whatsoever!!! I thought Alanis Morisette sang it!!!
“I’m a goddess on my knees...” that can be taken in sooo many different ways to explain or talk about soooo many situations. This is us women to the max. This song is everything. Gospel ♥️
Whoops
I thought oral sex?
What other way can it be taken besides giving head

Ok.. so shes praying ? 🙄
I don't know what it is about these 90s women, but they possess this timeless inspiration that no one today can ever match up to.
Sheryl Crow, Paula Cole, and also Jewel.
When my late Wife heard this song for the first time, she took it as her theme tune (everyone should have their own theme tune, don't you think) as she thought it described her down to a tee. Watching this again helped me remember all of the great times, and the sad, but still one hell of a song. Thank you.
Being a kid in the 90s, I couldn’t wait to be an adult in the 2000s
Now that I’m an adult in the 2000s, I wish I could go back to being a kid in the 90s
Edit: I’m not changing it to “2020s”. We’re in the 2000s. Suck it
90s was a magical period, and I’m happy I was able to be a child during a time of such freedom and creativity. I miss those days so much and I’d love to visit so badly
LOL
We all do
nah, I was 23 when this song was released, wasn't much different than today, but not something I'd want to do all over again. always go forward, never backwards
Same.... I was a kid in the 90s and I wanted to grow up so bad.... I'd give a lot to go back for a day...
the 90's back when everyone was happy
At 48, this song makes more sense now than ever. Menopause is so lovely.
Be well
Best review!
And this is why Men should stop enabling women and let them sink with their dysfunctions. It was a good song to listen to but now it is the mantra of foolish women who practice no self control. Yes we men WOULD want you a different way. Grounded. Rational. Sane.
Believe this song is gospel and something to live by and you are admitting you're not worth anyone's time.
Ahh even menopausal women need the loving "D"
yep, menopause turns really fun women into bitter, miserable and insufferable pains in the asses. this is why so many cultures allowed multiple wives, i am convinced of it lol
I was a child singing this song and now im 32 with 2 kids and I relate to this song. Just the memories of my mom playing this song growing up. May God bless your soul mom 7/17/2005 going on 19 years without you

This is on my Emotional Rescue Playlist. Listened today and realized I was making some decisions that would be self-betrayal. Decided to rethink them. This song helped and I am grateful for that.

@@grayfox4239 I am! Listening to this tune was part of a meandering path which led me to deciding, age 64, to love myself the way I love others instead of loathing myself for being imperfect. My loved ones rejoice my new choice and affectionately say "We TOLD you so!"

Would love to hear your emotional rescue Playlist! That sounds awesome like something I need lol
Hope it doesn't take me another 32 years to figure out how to stop loathing myself.

As a metalhead and hip hop head, and a guy... yep, I unironically enjoy this song every now and then. Sometimes even the Top 40 gets it right!
This been popping up in my head for some damn reason for a good while.

'I hate the world today.' First line in the song, and I feel that.
5 days ago this was played at my mum's funeral. 54 and died of a heart attack.
To be true to my mum, since she always sang along to this song as much as she used to play this when i was in my teens - I sang along at her funeral.
Christ the pain is like nothing else.
I'm sorry for your loss. Stay strong 💜
this story is eerily similar to my experience. i understand exactly how you’re feeling. it’s been 8 months for me and i still can’t fully process it. it doesn’t even feel real.
@@zay4080 I'm sorry for your loss too. My husband lost his father in the same way 9 years ago. Again, to a heart attack. Both died the same way. Stood up and went down instantly. I now see why they say heart attacks are the number one killer in the world. My grandad died of a heart attack waiting in line at the post office.
I'm so sorry to you losing your parent. I never realised just how painful it was for my husband to lose his father until i lost my mum. I knew it was tough, but until it happened to me, i didn't realise just how bad it could hurt.
My father was a broken man at the funeral. 40 years of marriage. December was their anniversary. I'm here again because this is my first Christmas without my mum. It's also still so fresh that she's gone. I feel so sick every time i see people celebrating Christmas right now. Torn between grief and happiness. She loved Christmas, and i want to celebrate it for her. But at the same time she's not here to celebrate it. I will never forgive the way she was taken. Tories can burn in Hell for what they've done to the NHS.
When she needed help they failed her in the most basic of ways. She waited 40 minutes for an ambulance and died for it. By the time they attended, she was well gone. They told my sister to run to the nearest police station and get the defib machine - Despite her not being authorised or trained to use it.
If she had lived she'd have torn them a new A-Hole. She worked with Teachers union fighting for teacher's rights and had visited parliament several times. RIP mum. 💔
Not sure when exactly this was posted, but i recently lost my dad. I have listened to this song a lot since then, trying to draw strength and just be who i am, grieve how I want, and love like I will never be hurt again.
You are right about the pain. My dad was 72, and I got so many blessed years with him, but the pain. Ooh, that is worse than childbirth 10x over, because there is no end in sight.
Your mom is my my mom
I am 43 this year. This song reminds me of the good old days ❤

This song will never ever go away, and it will always stay relevant.
AsSalam Alaikum, Peace and blessings upon creatures of God, dogs and bitches, they also have souls, however, we mankind children of Adam are not dogs and bitches, we are brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters.
Blessings of God be upon all brothers and sisters, please read the message of your brother.
There is no god (ilah) but God (Allah) and Muhammad (sws) is a servant and messenger of God.
God is just One, there is no such thing like Jewish God, Christian God, Hindu God, Sikh God etc.
It is quite logical, suppose a Jewish girl marries a Hindu man and their baby is born, then who created that baby. Was the baby created by Jewish God or was the baby created by Hindu God. This proves God is One and the baby was created by God who created all babies. Thank you, your reward is with God only.
Please let me share few words about God.
Say, He God is One. Uniquely One. (Not like as Trinitarian tells you. 3 in 1 and 1 in 3)
All are in need of God, but God is not in need of anything or anyone.
He does not have children (i.e. no minor gods) nor He is born. (i.e. He alone is God).
None is comparable to Him. Nothing is like Him.
Quran (Purity) Chapter 112

As a man, i so miss the days of genuinely empowered woman. This song represents it so well. Explains all the many facets of a real woman, and sums it up with " dont try and save me!". ❤
Yes sir!!
recently my mom passed away. i was given the news of her passing on august 17th. she wasnt my bio mom, or legal mom, but she took it upon herself to play the mother role in my life. she was only 33, and would have been 34 on dec 6th. she left behind a 4 year old little boy, and me, a 17 year old girl.
i remember, just a few weeks before she passed, i played this song in her truck as she drove me home, and of course, she knew it. she said it was her anthem. both her and i felt this song related to us, and described us in a sense. i think of her whenever i hear this song, now.
rest in peace, Katie Bug.
i love you, and i miss you.

This song was and still is the anthem for all us women out there. Don't ever be ashamed of being the hot mess that we all are. Being a little bit of everything is what makes us the great and beautiful beings that we are.
The perfect confession of the true nature of the female. How refreshing.
Explain please.

are nuts
This song always resonated with me in every phase of my life as a woman and now that I've learned today is Meredith's birthday and we're both Gemini it hits home even more so! Happy Birthday beautiful!
There has never been a greater Gemini anthem and that’s why I’m listening to this just minutes before my 28th birthday

This song really makes me feel old. Brings back so many memories of the 90s. No internet really. No cell phones. No camera on every inch of the Earth. I was 13 when this song came out, and now sitting at 38 thinking... all the lost loved ones. All the classmates you've never seen again. All the fun we used to have actually socializing and going to events to talk to people. Just felt so much more free for lack of a better word. Where did 25 years go?
I love this song, but wow 25 yrs I feel so old.
Feeling not old, but mature. In 3 months turning into 40.. where are my 20????)
@@kristinwood8884 Not as old as Meredith, but I bet they've still got it.
@@therespectedlex9794 Me too. I sometimes miss the time before all the tech, I'm so happy I experienced dating and relationships in person. 🤷♀️
THAT'S a good addition to my "Songs that get stuck in your head" playlist!
I’m gonna play this over and over today! It helps me remember who I am!
Yeah !!!
This song has aged so well. I remember singing as a 9 year old thinking I was so grown up saying bitch 😂 I’m now 38 & the song is still incredible
I’m 38 to a man and still can relate to some of the lyrics aren’t we all just a Bitch in our own right the power of music man
@@joeyglass3783 Just yesterday, 19th May 2024, I watched a Breakfast Club 105.1 FM, New York City, USA, interview on TH-cam, where Jimmie "JJ" Walker said that we guys were two faced in the sense that when we went to bed with a lady for the 1st time, we expected her to be both a virgin and a "sex goddess/sex machine/top performer in bed." True, right? Meredith Brook's 1997 song above, "Bitch," captures what Jimmie "JJ" Walker said, right? Regards, Michael M. Kamau, Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa, 20th May 2024.
Such song only came out once in a decade. What a riff 🎸🎛 A 'scandalous' on its own, back then! She made an impact with the song. It is iconic - though in Asia I used to hear the announcer on radio was renaming it 'Nothing in Between' 💥 Utter masterpiece.
Whenever I look at this song again and again.... My gratitude for meridith increase a lot
This is one of many songs from the '90s I will always remember so vividly, because I remember I had just turned 7 years old right around when this song released in May 1997. My mother and me were out driving somewhere, she then turns the radio to the rock station and the DJ announces here's a "New singles hit by Meredith Brooks". I remember my mom being so blown away by the song she went out and bought the album the next day at Wal-Mart and probably played it about 100+ times throughout the summer. Something I'll never forget.
Pure art and poetry. A daring, classic subversive anthem if ever there was one.
This song describe my mother. Love you mom! You the best!
God bless you 90's kids one and all.
I've loved this woman since the 90's. Beautiful and talented. Still have her cd
good
I remember in my childhood during summer vacation my older sister would wake up early to watch this music video on MTV’s top 10 music videos the year it came out. Being a 90’s kid was the best.
This song is actually brilliant
No. It actually isn't.
Lioness Fierce yesss
kingofallwhites Yes. It is actually. Boom bitch!
This song is so spot on... It describes a narcissistic sociopathic female. It describes the girl that broke my heart by lying and cheating on me. She cannot be fixed, and just like the lyrics say... she doesn't want to be fixed. This song describes Jessica, the girl I'm in love with, so perfectly. I now see it, and can't wait to be free from her grip. Trust me, this song is brilliant.
Not really, it's a good song but "brilliant" is a generous word to use. This song is about a woman who doesn't know how to process her emotions and flips out randomly. There's no deeper meaning here.
Meredith you exploded with this song this had to be a number 1🥂🎭
I forgot how much this song ROCKS!!!
One of the Best Songs ever written........
And that's what Nani from Lilo and Stitch is!
lol no it is not
Don't get carried away
Pretty much a 1 hit wonder!
