Underrated? This song was on the radio nonstop in the '90s. Like it was literally everywhere. So tired of people who don't get what "underrated" means. 😆
Million poppies will definitely make you sleep, and just that rose knows my name.. ive been low, like a junkie cosmonaut.. you feel like youre a million miles below everyone elses feet. A million miles, a million miles!😢 Well put.. and the rythm mirrors the repetative waves of withdraw smooth then hard
They were so freakin good live. One of the best I have ever seen. When I saw them around 96 or 97, they opened with Low. Pretty ballsy considering it was really was/is their most well known song. It is like they wanted to get it out of the way to put it out of everyone's mind.
God I love this song so much brings back good time memories of a younger me that was happy and jamming in an old 80s Chrysler to a timeless rock anthem.
In 1993 I won concert tickets from the local college radio station. Three bands in Hershey Pa: Cracker, Gin Blossoms, with the Spin Doctors headlining. The Spin Doctors sucked (we left three songs in), Gin Blossoms killed it, but Cracker blew me away! Instantly a life long fan, and David's songwriter was a huge inspiration to my own. 30 years later, they're still going strong. Cracker rocks!
Cracker should never have been on a bill with bands like that (IMO) but hey, that was the 90s. I saw Cracker at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta in the late 90s and they were super tight and clear as a live act; I was actually taken aback by how technically sound they were. They used Low as the encore for that show, and for part of the evening David Lowery played what I remember as a green and white Charvel semi-hollow that sounded incredible. And that night I also realized what a truly outstanding guitarist Johnny HIckman is. Cracker is absolutely one of the five best bands of the 90s and I think their reputation will only grow with the passage of time.
@bluebirdconundrum Couldn't agree more! Met Johnny and David in the lobby of the World Café early before a show. Super cool, we chatted for a little bit, and away they went. Really got into CVB because of these guys too!
Absolutely the greatest song to come out of the Nineties!! Hand's Down!! How many song's have been played in Sporting Events . This one and other's. Only great song's get to wear that Prize!!! How many People agree with Me?
Unbelievable! Live on Conan and perfect. Sounds like the original recording. That's the measure of a band, playing live, balls out and nailing it! No bands do that anymore because they're few and far between.. I give cracker 5 stars on this video and a bowl of soup!
The JC120 for clean or he has them both on together to give definition. I used to do that with a Mesa Boogie Mark IIb and a Lab Series L5.. What a combination. Run in stereo with a Boss CE1. The big honking metal pedal. God knows what that would be worth today. The chorus circuit in the CE-1 is the same they used in the JC120.
Saw them live in Boston outdoors at Gov't Center in a free show headlining 3 or 4 other bands. Can't remember the year, but Brandy Wood was bassist at the time. Hearing this live made me appreciate it all the more.
I missed a lot of music during the 90s and 00s when bringing up my family and working, but came across this song when I recently watched 'RECTIFIED' on Sundance and was blown away by it . Great song and show!
What a fabulous band! Great song! When you're good, know how to compose a wonderful song, and know what you're doing, you don't need any of the nonsense and frills most bands rely on.
93 yet i didn't really here this on the radio until a couple years ago? what happened to this song for like 14 years? its like just recently radio decided they missed this.
WOW!!! This Band was WAY better LIVE than any music-video they ever made (I've seen all of them, sorry guys). Unfortunately, I was nvr able 2 catch U guys live - you guys wer breaking-out @ the same time my marriage was breaking-up. You're still#1 my favorite bands & I turn people on 2U guys whnvr I can& this is 1 o'ur songs tht R my Favorite(s). YOU GUYS ROCK! & Thank You for ALLL the emotional support you have provided me through my Divorce and later Heart Attack (I DIED & CAME BACK 2LIFE).
Kid grows up in Redlands, CA- makes good. As an aside, I think Conan has been the most engaging of the talk show host with his musical guests. His show has gotten better since he left NBC and went to TBS.
Awesome song from an awesome band Still going, along with CVB ... Lowery now teaching, Lovering back with Pixies and Johnny Hickman still playing guitar Kerosene Hat one great album, and still sounds it
I want the 90's Back!
The lead singer, David Lowery, teaches at UGA now and he's my music business professor.
When I was at UGA, we were going to see Camper Van Beethoven at 40 watt
What? That's crazy! I've lived in Athens for a while now and I had no idea he was at UGA.
Amazing.
That is absolutely great
Who that uncle Jessi on lead?
You know a band is talented when they sound just as good or even better live than they do in a studio. These guys are amazing!
Yes
They are killer live! Agreed.
I think the guitar solo sounds better live. It’s a simple, tasteful solo.
Throwing down!!!
That’s not talent. That’s mindfulness.
One of the most underrated BANDS of the 90's
One of the most underrated songs of the 90's
Omg yes. This song and Get Off This are so awesome.
Underrated? This song was on the radio nonstop in the '90s. Like it was literally everywhere. So tired of people who don't get what "underrated" means. 😆
more 4 us, dude
Among the best rock songs ever! Perfect blend of lyrics, vocals, instruments, and atmosphere-unique
100% agree. This song is amazing
They really nailed those harmonies in the chorus.
It kind of makes the song
Gotta love songs about heroin!
I took bands like this for granted back in the day. Shame on me.
Shame on us all, pal. Well, we've been punished. Karma.
How would we have known? Know the shit is Beyoncé !!! We are screwed to put it nice!
fucking moving words, guys. but utterly true, isn't it? We're fucked in every way with music right now. Takes hours to find anything good
Music that blows you away after 30 years as much as it did when you first heard it...now thats saying something.
I am lucky to have found them still. Good music will always be appreciated.
This song is amazing! it's like Tom Petty mixed with Grunge!
Hi I Recommend checking out an Indie Rock Song called 'Looking Into the mirror' By Robert Nix
@@redskies4530 That was painful
Good summation
Darkly beautiful poetic.
One of the best songs of the 90's, easily! Top 3!
the 90's were so great ....this is just 1 of so many great songs of that decade
totally agree.
Million poppies will definitely make you sleep, and just that rose knows my name.. ive been low, like a junkie cosmonaut.. you feel like youre a million miles below everyone elses feet. A million miles, a million miles!😢
Well put.. and the rythm mirrors the repetative waves of withdraw smooth then hard
A million poppies used to make me sleep. But not anymore. Anyway my dude on the bass is killing it with those background vocals!!!
Poppies,but no wallflower. I could hear him
Better than Bob Rupe IMO.
Amen to that
Now that you mention it, backing vocals are quite good here
His name is Bruce Hughes...I swear he looks like a completely different person every time I see him
One of the best songs of all time!! Never get tired of listening to this!
A Perfect song! Complete with David Lovering of the Pixies on drums!!!
I didn't notice that until you pointed it out. Cool.
Gdje si gledao? 😑@@robertshubitowski1984
It blows my mind how similar this sounds to the studio version. I'm very impressed.
I'm 72. This song never gets old. In my top 10 of all time. And that's a long time ✌️
What's the rest of your top ten?
that rift is so heavy hits a dark place in my mind that im all to familiar with
It’s a spiraling sound.
I remember when this song came out, I loved it and still do over 20yrs later.
Add another decade to that 20 years, and it's still a wicked tune...
Holy crap! This sounds just like the album!
I miss you 90's. More than you can imagine.
Me too
Me three
Damn, this song better every time I hear it. Killer band. They should let these guys play forever.
They were so freakin good live. One of the best I have ever seen. When I saw them around 96 or 97, they opened with Low. Pretty ballsy considering it was really was/is their most well known song. It is like they wanted to get it out of the way to put it out of everyone's mind.
At 2:21 "Like some junkie cosmonaut" the guys are dancing so perfectly together and in time its satisfying as fuck to watch
Yeah their adrenaline was cascading down their backs.great moment
Incredible performance.
God I love this song so much brings back good time
memories of a younger me that was happy and jamming
in an old 80s Chrysler to a timeless rock anthem.
Great song and great performance!!
love this song , it takes me back to a better times
Man, This is the best l have ever heard them Play this Song. The vocals Rock!!! Who Agree's?
Wow….this song gives me THE CHILLS

This song ROCKS ! It does not get the air play it deserves from the classic rock stations! It is real classic ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely the greatest song to come out of the Nineties!! Hand's Down!! How many song's have been played in Sporting Events . This one and other's. Only great song's get to wear that Prize!!! How many People agree with Me?
Addictive song.
Now THIS is the grunge of my youth.
+ᒍᗩᗰᕮᔕ ᑭᗩᗯᔕOᑎ So good to hear it again after all these years!!
Same here!
Totally!!
Hey! It's James Pawson! 👋😎👍👍
@@SkragorSkumdreg haha, hey buddy 🙂
Unbelievable! Live on Conan and perfect. Sounds like the original recording. That's the measure of a band, playing live, balls out and nailing it! No bands do that anymore because they're few and far between.. I give cracker 5 stars on this video and a bowl of soup!
I can't really disagree with you, but I'm seriously here for the music- that is ONE way we can unite all people....music knows no boundaries!
Damn. That is a really great song! I'm going to listen to it again...
The 90's were amazing for music
Very well written song. one of my fav's from it's time.
I definitely took bands like this for granted, unfortunately. Saw them in Philly last night 1-17-20 awesome show !
this song gets played on the radio literally every day and i still rock out when i hear it come on when im at work
Great! Had to revisit this killer jam after not hearing it for years.. It holds up well in today's world..
This song kicks ass.. its like the summer of love meets the 90s
Love this song and this Live Version is Bad Ass!
Killer song the riffs are eternal I can always rock out to this song. Back when music was music!
Saw them with Gin Blossoms and Spin Doctors in 1993. Such a fun show. Great band.
Wow that’s heck of a line up!
1) props to the audio engineer. That's a great mix for how loud the stage must have been.
2) that fender amp/JC120 combination us interesting.
Is it though
The JC120 for clean or he has them both on together to give definition. I used to do that with a Mesa Boogie Mark IIb and a Lab Series L5.. What a combination. Run in stereo with a Boss CE1. The big honking metal pedal. God knows what that would be worth today. The chorus circuit in the CE-1 is the same they used in the JC120.
damn. haven't heard this song in many moons. Still Love It!
That was a pretty dam cool guitar solo.
Songs like this kept me alive through the 90s. 23 years sober today.
I love the cloud graphic in the back. Why don't they still do shit like that? It looks awesome.
anyghost Probably the same reason they don't do good music anymore either. Or good television shows.
Idk you never rly see people do that, other than Pink Floyd ofc but I love it and there should definitely be a visual affect added to music
Live music*
awesome. this song will NEVER get old.
Saw them live in Boston outdoors at Gov't Center in a free show headlining 3 or 4 other bands. Can't remember the year, but Brandy Wood was bassist at the time. Hearing this live made me appreciate it all the more.
The timing of when the vocals come in is everything with this song
One of the best songs ever.
Lucky! This is one of my favorite songs from that generation. Just has such a good sound.
kick ass song! didn't know this song existed until i heard it on the radio a few mos ago. gotta quit living under a rock.
Great lyrics! Great Musicians. Nice guys, too.
Thanks for posting! I really love this band. They're important for my sanity. ❤️😄
Saw these guys in Lawrence, Ks in '94 with Counting Crows. Awesome show!!
happy to see you guys have rebuilt since the nuking
Wow where does the time go❤❤❤❤❤
I miss these songs! Need to put them back on the radio.
I wore the Kerosene Hat album out back in the day!!!!!!
Slammin' live performance! Tight! 🔥🔥🔥
OMG, last night on my way home from school, this song came on the radio. Its really cool.
Love this song and great performance!
Without a doubt one of the most underrated bands of the 90's.
Like always kicked asses. Cracker is great!!!
Absolutely friggin' amazing tune!!! God I love awesome music!
Absolutely loved these guys back in the day. I just realized I still love them like some junkie cosmonaut
I missed a lot of music during the 90s and 00s when bringing up my family and working, but came across this song when I recently watched 'RECTIFIED' on Sundance and was blown away by it . Great song and show!
Maravillosa canción. Que bien sigue sonando 23 años después.
What a fabulous band! Great song! When you're good, know how to compose a wonderful song, and know what you're doing, you don't need any of the nonsense and frills most bands rely on.

This guys are playing at my friends house in July I swear to god. I can't fucking wait to go nuts when they play this
I want in
I love this song and this band..
So good!
I never grow tired of this tune💛👍💫Thx 4 posting it 💫👸💫
Excellent musicianship. Good harmonies with vocals and guitar. Great song.
This is literally amazing.
We didn't know how good we had it!
Its all down hill from here and not in a good way
Ouch.
there is still a lot of amazing music just maybe not as popular which isn’t that bad imo
Moto. It’s still seeming that way
93 yet i didn't really here this on the radio until a couple years ago? what happened to this song for like 14 years? its like just recently radio decided they missed this.
In 1993 I was in X-Ray school and me and my classmates used to hang out for a beer and this tune was as in the radio. Awesome times the early 90s…
90s rock is a long lost art
Richmond Virginia Rules Baby Boy 👦 rock on 🤘
WOW!!! This Band was WAY better LIVE than any music-video they ever made (I've seen all of them, sorry guys).

The drummer is my spirit animal. Shmooth
Love this song
Está canción esta entre las canciones de mi preferencia de los 90's, great song!!!
De acuerdo, está muy chingona!!!
Kid grows up in Redlands, CA- makes good. As an aside, I think Conan has been the most engaging of the talk show host with his musical guests. His show has gotten better since he left NBC and went to TBS.
What a great song,it's up there with "happy birthday".....timeless!
I remember that song from my childhood... I never knew who sang it until years later. 90's rock was too good.
Awesome song from an awesome band
Still going, along with CVB ... Lowery now teaching, Lovering back with Pixies and Johnny Hickman still playing guitar
Kerosene Hat one great album, and still sounds it
Richmond, VA rocks.
