My Grandmother gave me a cassette of this album for Christmas. She knew nothing about popular music and must have selected the album at random from what was being featured at the record store. Best Christmas present ever, I think of my Grandmother every time I hear this song!
When real DJs existed, there was no term/genre called alternative music. Alternative to what? The local college and University radio stations played all kinds of tunes and even had a show with six local acts a couple x a week called "the home brewed six pack." Some of those bands ended up becoming national and international touring acts to go on to play Lollapalooza and make the billboard charts. #belly #throwingmuses #vitalremains #smallFactory #combustibleEdison #jungledogs #SixFingerSatellite #zox #velvetcrush #guster #theAgents #gruvismalt #lightningbolt (those fort thunder shows were dope!) #SageFrancis_JoeBeats_NonProphets #bmor7
What a beautiful woman who seems to be full of life. I love the diferent ways she uses to stand while singing. I have never seen another singer who like to stand like that. What a beauty! 💖
Without meaning to, I absolutely took this stance while playing and singing.... I grew up with this album and still shoot rubber bands at the stars without shooting up junk in the bathrooms....+Makin it w punxs on the floor. Love...like we do!
@@LaurenLawDawgShe’s been busy. Still plays music including with Steve Martin. Paul didn’t steal her away and hide her in his basement. She’s a mother and a wife, more importantly.
@AlaxyGalaxy2 We were both 13. My cousin was her neighbor in a suburb outside Dallas. I spent three summers there. My uncle was a musician and had a whole set up in his garage. My cousin and her had a high school band with their friends. It was definitely a secret crush. I was too shy. Lol
Jerry Garcia loved this band. He would sit backstage and watch them when they opened for the Dead. Edie and Jerry even recorded songs together. Check out American Popsicle.
Great song and a beautiful, natural young lady. From back in the day when you had to actually have musical ability to get a recording contract......doesn't seem to matter these days.
She is so cutie, her smile is so cute, her eyes so sincere, her voice is a melody for soul and mind, het lyrics are poetry, her songs are a manifesto of freedom and social careing....I love u, Eddie
Heyy you read my mind, I couldn’t help but smiled first time I saw her in the original video and I’m 32 years old. She kinda brings me joy with her smile
My God do I miss the 80's. And thank God we have the music to remember it by. This was before grunge and alternative music took over. A great time for music. Edie was a knock out.
Edie Brickell was ahead of her time, one of the precursors to ‘90s female alternative artists like Lisa Loeb, Natalie Merchant, Natalie Imbruglia, Alanis Morissette, etc. This song alone sounds like it’s from 1993 rather than 1988.
Can't believe this was 30 fricken y e a r s ago!!! Loved her! I was looking for it to play for my little 14 month old daughter. I want her to know all the songs we loved from the 80's and 90's!
Somebody asked Edie to explain the lyrics and she said, "Well, the lyrics are like a mirror to the soul-reflecting the complexity of human experience. They're not meant to be confined to a single meaning. Rather, they invite you to engage with them, let them resonate within your own personal journey. Ultimately, the meaning is in constant flux, as it evolves with each listener, each moment in time. It's a delicate dance between intention and interpretation."
Their biggest hit Edie love her style adds to the mix with the New Bohemians provide the boost engine slick style sound indeed.To be blessed and part of the greatest decade of all time never to forget miss it so much oh hail the 80s atmosphere could harp on and explain vibes and feelings like no other time or place in history
Wow, she is still such a natural beauty. Classic "girl next door" prettiness. I have a memory of listening to this song...in real time... while sitting in my car waiting on my mother to finish her shopping. Vivid...
RIP BRAD HOUSER ON BASS - one of my favorite bass lines EVER. That fretless 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Love this album and man I love the guitar solo so much. That Mu Tron phaser is so cool
Simply gorgeous and a very talented singer. Her beauty and amazing voice draw you in and put you in a trance. I could stay in it forever. Paul Simon is on lucky guy.
The great Matt Chamberlain on drums. Two years after this performance, he would become Pearl Jam's drummer, but only for about a month because he got a gig as SNL's house band drummer (although I have yet to see video of him drumming on SNL). He would then go on drumming for Fiona Apple, Tori Amos and other musicians, as well as drumming on the Wallflower's 1996 album Bringing Down The Horse in the songs 'One Headlight' and '6th Avenue Heartache'. I wish he still played like he did with Pearl Jam and Edie Brickell. His playing evolved to a weird style lacking the tasty chops you hear here.
Dang, I’m from Dallas and did not know that was Matt on drums! Thanks for that piece of info. As a bass player at heart, I’m remembering the great Brad Houser on that awesome fretless right there, just passed onto the next plane. RIP
@@rastapastrychief There is some footage from Brad & Matt's "Critters Buggin" project here on TH-cam. They had a cool connection & were a great rhythm section.
The group went with drums and a separate percussion player. Giving that bongo and timbales add on sounds. No piano, organ or synth sounds. Some Hammond organ trick sound playing would of livened things up here.
I'm Popeye & eating spinach everyday: ' I am what I am'. Found my Olive Oil in 1996 and we've loved each other ever since. Wore out a cassette of "Shooting Rubberbands at The Stars" in my car by 1990 making trips from my military base to my hometown. Been meaning to get a CD of it. Saw this performance on the Arsenio show, loved the tune so much sung by a look alike beautiful lady I dated in the early 1980s; next day I bought the tape.
Sounds every bit as good as the recorded version. No mean feat for live television...and 33 years ago! A reminder that we probably had everything we actually needed in the 90s.
Having been there, on the road with them, it’s great they are still playing together, still making music and public appearances, expanded, years later, many incarnations of other bands, travels, life changes, kids, experiences, etc...after all of these years, 33, now! Wishing them all the best... exciting and fun times in 1989 on the road....😎 ❤️
“We probably had everything we actually needed in the 90s” Spot on. I was in my 20s then. I’m grateful that I got to experience the pinnacle of western civilization. The 90s were the last decade where things were real.
Ah yes It's brother Brad Houser's project from Deep Ellum and folks i was actually there in late 80's to watch these Cat's when they first starting playing this song and also Our group "The Signal" was just finishing our recording project at "Sir Dave Love's" studio when Eddy and the guy's where scheduled in right behind us just outside Dallas on a gorgeous sunny afternoon.Folks..did you know Bradley Houser is actually a badass Jazz Saxophonist and most all these Cats are/were students outta Denton Texas (home of The One Oclock Lab Band) Best funkiest Collective Horn Players on the planet??
Love her music, this was a great period for music, and Edie has been a great artist of 90's. I'm so glad to live my teen-ages in that period... And she was so gracious... And I love the jeans style (501) of that period
I was just thinking about the name of this song and decided to look it up it brings back some great memories this girl I used to date years ago loved this song and everytime I hear it brings back memories of that awesome night
LOVE EDIE BRICKELL's VOICE! Have been a fan since the late 80's!! The band and her voice sound great together....Together,Along with some GREAT SONGS, THEY HAVE BEEN MAKING MUSICAL MAGIC FOR DECADES!!!! I'm Loving It !!!
I remember the song, but watching her live, that is just natural raw talent. And there's no other recordings of her doing other songs from back then? Why? There's only two that I could find of her live, doing this song. Why? The other one is on David Letterman, which I guess that's where she meant Simon, from Simon and Garfunkel. I don't get it???

Nice memories.Good bless her.
Your grandmother new all the music back then was crap , and knew this was different
She knew what she was doing, and knew good music.
Grandma liked grandpa choking her in the shallow water
Or maybe geandma wanted to turn you on to something she liked on the Down Low lol amazing memories.
Playing 90s Alternative Rock two years before the 90s
Right how did she slide in there
When real DJs existed, there was no term/genre called alternative music. Alternative to what?
The local college and University radio stations played all kinds of tunes and even had a show with six local acts a couple x a week called "the home brewed six pack."
Some of those bands ended up becoming national and international touring acts to go on to play Lollapalooza and make the billboard charts.

Nah bro, I feel like she more or less defined alternative rock!
It's an 80's song... but, yea!
wow so true
Edie = The difference between somebody trying to be cool and somebody who was just born that way.😉
Damn straight. I don't get it, but wish I had it.
@@robertjackson3819 Me too - lol!😊
❤ Ok, it’s 2024 and I’m still lovin this song! “If ya know what I mean “!! ❤ 🤣😂
All time great!
@@shawnclare-nb1upALL TIME GREAT😅 2:26
One of the most grooving songs of the 80's. So glad i grew up in the 70s and 80's.
What a beautiful woman who seems to be full of life.
I love the diferent ways she uses to stand while singing. I have never seen another singer who like to stand like that. What a beauty! 💖

@@brokl26 thanks for responding... Please send a link if you have one .. I agree that FAMILY is indeed most important in Life!
She was drop dead beautiful
I had forgotten. Total knockout
“Was”? Still is.
Sure was!
Was?
She still is 32 years later
Next level bass playing on this. Perfect fretless tone as well.
45 years later, and she's still my crush. 😘
Bionic woman now that’s my crush.
@@AlaxyGalaxy2 and 45 years ago he was probably 14. Don’t take everything too literally
@AlaxyGalaxy2 We were both 13. My cousin was her neighbor in a suburb outside Dallas. I spent three summers there. My uncle was a musician and had a whole set up in his garage. My cousin and her had a high school band with their friends. It was definitely a secret crush. I was too shy. Lol
That was 35 years ago
@@jesuslovesyou1702 No. I hung out with her from 1979-81. We were both born in 1966. She was my cousin's neighbor in Texas.
That guitar solo is amazing...

An amazing solo thanks to that Mu-tron iii
it's very jerry
Jerry Garcia loved this band. He would sit backstage and watch them when they opened for the Dead. Edie and Jerry even recorded songs together. Check out American Popsicle.
Bassist deserves some love here too :)
And yeah, she's hot :)
His fretless playing was top notch on this one.
Great song and a beautiful, natural young lady. From back in the day when you had to actually have musical ability to get a recording contract......doesn't seem to matter these days.
Darren Adams I hear you, what a shame that this band didn't go far, but at least we have this fantastic album to remember them !!!😎
Untrue
@@LPSAnimalAC Agreed ,some people must live under a rock if the thing no good music today is being made lol
You should hear me sing when I'm drunk.
Richard Denis lol
The most 90’s song of the 80’s. She’s awesome
WHO'S STILL LISTENING IN 2024😅 1:22 ?
Oh my yes indeed - my mantra lo these many -- bottom line Mr Natural --❤❤❤
everyone
Paul Simon
I'm still listening to this and proudly passing on good music to my children & grandchildren.
I was in a coma and this was one of the tunes that made me wake up. What I Am I Owe My Life Too. Xxx.
✌️ 🎉
damn i love that smile
Agree, the original is even better I think. Love the auto wah.
Yes, I do too. So lovely.
Me too
I used to watch Edie Brickell's videos over and over. I simply love her smile. She looks like she is having the time of her life.
Back when artists made their own music. LOVE IT
Just graduated 8th grade and as a freshman in high school I loved this song.
I love how she smiles and almost starts laughing at 2:05. Really adorable.
She put together a great band.
She is so cutie, her smile is so cute, her eyes so sincere, her voice is a melody for soul and mind, het lyrics are poetry, her songs are a manifesto of freedom and social careing....I love u, Eddie
married to paul simon
I agree
Heyy you read my mind, I couldn’t help but smiled first time I saw her in the original video and I’m 32 years old. She kinda brings me joy with her smile
She is very beautiful
@@FAnd-bn8wv Paul Simon better watch out
RIP New Bohmeian bassist Brad Houser. I just had to see you in action and listen to your iconic bass lines. Thank you for your beautiful music!

She balances on the tightrope of poise gracefully, never teetering into anxiousness or showboating; I’m mesmerized!
Can't believe this was 30 fricken y e a r s ago!!! Loved her! I was looking for it to play for my little 14 month old daughter. I want her to know all the songs we loved from the 80's and 90's!
Well done lady, spirits like yours and hers make this world worthwhile!

This song was quite popular on certain FM radio stations in Chile. When people reminisce about the 80s and 90s, it still plays. But it is a rarity.
Quite right, never heard it on radio since then (Ireland), just brilliant.
One of the most interesting guitar parts to come out of the 80's. I think this band helped set the stage for the amazing music to come in the 90's.
It's ripped from Jerry Garcia
@@gloryn4394 then I guess Jerry should be thankful they made it into an interesting, cohesive and concise song.
@@LeeBattick I'm sure he didn't care
Her smile is a Hurricane of Beauty and Delicacy.
So nostalgic coming to u from Nairobi Kenya 13th July 2024 ❤❤❤❤❤❤ i love this song so much
Back in the day, someone said I looked like Edie Brickell. Best compliment ever. Just wish I sang like her!
Edie is so beautiful - such a wonderful spirit.... and that band is cook'n with gas.
Arsenio has some of the coolest music acts on his show
What a jam!!
Wow! And played live too
That band could not have chosen a better name. The fretless bass player is fantastic.
I just think it's great she sings this good live.
I’ve played this song about 50 in the last few days
Me too
I fall in love everytime. And the band absolutely jams.

i love how everyone in the band is so plain looking. Just producing good music and enjoying the starlight.
The bass is fretless but the emotions are full on.
Hey nice catch
Wow, she is still such a natural beauty. Classic "girl next door" prettiness. I have a memory of listening to this song...in real time... while sitting in my car waiting on my mother to finish her shopping. Vivid...

It's like there are few songs that could have been either 80s or 90s, and this is one of them
Oh man ! That voice... So natural and beautiful !
Great track awesome performance gorgeous Edie..earth angel
Que buenos artistas eran los de antes, no desafino una nota, la banda impecable, para resumir... Perfecto!

well i'll be damned.. took me a few seconds to figure out if she was singing live or not.. amazing!
She stills like that live to this day!!!
Accurate Statement Amazing 😉
She is magic and soooooo beautiful.
Gorgeous.
Brilliant song.
What an awesome live performance. Most over produced singles on cds don't even sound this good.
Such a good band. They were way ahead of their time. This was the 80's! She does not look anything like an 80's girl. 🔥🔥🔥
Hell yeah dude, very raw and beautiful girl
She is a very Pretty girl and I don’t remember when I heard about it that she was actually Married to Paul Simon from Simon and Garfunkel Fame .
This is just a bad ass groove! New Bohemian's rock. A great band with a ton of talent that deserve more credit.
she is so beautiful
Thank you for uploading this video.
Beautiful smile - joy in singing :)
Su sonrisa es como un regalo del cielo.

It’s just unbelievable that she opens her mouth super big while letting air come out of it without her voice getting higher or lower in pitch!
working hard as a sheet metal fabricator back in the day in the motor city when this song came out i use to rock it full blast Dang Eddie your a Hotty
Super groovy bass playing.
Word Up! That's Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge!

What a great song🎶🎧
First of all, props for the 2 seconds of Stevie Ray Vaughan in the beginning. Second, the station ID is WWOR in Secaucus!
What a fantastic performance ❗❗❗
Edie is a beautiful soul, she's so cleared with her thoughts, a great follower from Windows 95 hidden Edie Brickell's "Good Times" video...
It's so easy to find that video NOW by just searching for "geffen records microsoft song"
I was so in love with her way back then. Damn you Paul Simon!!! LOL!
She sings when smile and she smiles when sing
Nailed it.
LOVE EDIE BRICKELL's VOICE! Have been a fan since the late 80's!! The band and her voice sound great together....Together,Along with some GREAT SONGS, THEY HAVE BEEN MAKING MUSICAL MAGIC FOR DECADES!!!! I'm Loving It !!!
How gorgeous she is… And what cool song and band!!! 😎🥰
Very nice. Beautiful rendition. Never watched Arsenio once.
This girl has diamonds on the souls of her feet
Pretty good to see SRV at the very beginning. Damn, it all looks so fresh despite the vintage video.
Love Edie.....& the band is awesome 👏.
Have had a crush on her since the late 80’s. She actually replied back to one of my messages. Totally cool 😎
I remember the song, but watching her live, that is just natural raw talent. And there's no other recordings of her doing other songs from back then? Why? There's only two that I could find of her live, doing this song. Why? The other one is on David Letterman, which I guess that's where she meant Simon, from Simon and Garfunkel. I don't get it???
Wish there were more songs like this
Great voice and most beautiful eyes.
Gonna perform this at my university's inter-batch cultural contest 😍❤❤❤❤
D-Did ya??
I love the artist and the group.
Best Arsenio Hall episode ever!
