I can't tell you how many times I played this CD when it came out. They opened for Thom Yorke (still don't know who he was) and when Ours was done I walked out as everyone was still walking in.
i agree . i remember i heard this song in a HMV store in 2001 and i asked the girl working what it was and she showed me the CD and i bought it . went home listened to it and fell in love with the album . every track is awesome ! 20 years later its still awesome
maybe not the very last track, that one is meh... I always thought it would have been better if the closing song to that album were "Meet Me in the Tower" instead.
@@troysuza2065 they had this video repeated on 1 single program on Mtv (not exactly much use) but their biggest issue was having a crappy label at the time (Dreamworks) so their second album went almost completely unnoticed and it took way too long for their 3rd to come out, by then it was like starting from scratch.
I gave up on the world who gave up on me. I get it. Distorted Lullabies is still one of my favorite albums in this genre, and I found it by accident. Sometimes the music world just drowns out the magic, and not every band wants to churn on forever. 🖤
The fact that they/Jimmy just dropped a new album two days ago, over 20 years after DL, is incredible. Sounds as good as ever btw. Everyone reading this do yourselves a favor and check it out. Oh, go listen to Precious and Misery while you're at it
everytime Ours dropped a record I had to retroactively find it because they were a band that just got no hype. I don't get it... what a phenomenal group!
Fun fact: Met Jimmy at Bogarts in Cincinnati after a show. He was touring with Filter and Opiate For The Masses. His first time seeing an OURS tattoo was on me. It's on my spine, and I got it over 20 years ago.
Fun fact: He got heckled on stage once Jeff Buckley died, with people yelling "There's a dead man on stage!" because of his likeliness to Buckley in both voice and looks.
this song was one of my very favorites when it first came out. i couldn't stop listening to it over and over again. now it reminds me of that time in my life. bittersweet, and beautiful.
Haven't heard this song in about 12-13 years. Loved it when I was younger. I still do at age 25 . I can't get it out of my head!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its a great song:)
Pressure fried the coldest head Bent to the side wishing he was dead And I would still defend I would still defend I give up on it all I give up on the greed I give up on the ones Who give up on me Held up by the poor somewhere There are unaware but I know we are scared If I was to give in The fight would soon begin So I give up on it all I give up on the greed I'll give up on the ones Who'll give up on me Sometimes sunshine's Sunshine Sometimes the sun shines Sunshine Did you give up on it all Did you give up on the greed Did you give up on the ones Who gave up on me
Saw them opening for Peter Murphy playing Bauhaus on July 26, 2013 in Los Angeles - was blown away how good these guys are! Everything was just top notch - sound, image, music! My new favorite band!
Here . . . *18 years now* !! Played a good 330 days a year ... *I promise to do better in 2020* !! *THE* Daniel Victor, *Never Ending White Lights* helped myself & an amass of others find Jimmy so many years ago. Ever and 4ever thankful for their friendship & for their genius ways.
Wrong. He's Jimmy Gnecco. He is his own person and his own unique talent that is beyond what anyone else is or will be. He's not a combination of people (or vocal similarities) all wrapped into one; he is just himself, and he has a voice that is untouchable.
I remember in my teenage years working at Target in the electronics department and all the TVs displayed was always playing this music video,good times.
I absolutely love love love love this band!!! It's an amazing sound and Jimmy Gnecco has an amazing voice!!! I first saw the sometimes video and I fell in love! Reading these comments about them getting boo'ed off stage at a MM concert is saddening that these MM fans (the ones booing of course) don't have the decency to respect different types of sounds and music. After reading about Jimmy's retaliation, makes me love them even more!
That's exactly where I first saw them too. The entire time I've been reading through comments, I've been wondering if that's where someone else might have discovered them too. I had forgotten about this song till I was browsing through a used cd store. Found one of their cds. Then I went to another one down the road, and they had this one. Of course I had to get it!!!
They did get some recognition, or at least Jimmy did. He did some songs for Metal Gear Rising. And they're damn good. He did the last boss' song: "It has to be this way". Hope to see more from them!
These guys are amazing to watch live. I didn't think I was going to have any reason to hang around at a show my friends dragged me to and I was completely spellbound. Why are they still opening for people with a quarter of the talent this band has?
love Jimmy Gnecco! Amazing excellent singer, great song. i consider him a friend. i had the honor of recording and playing with him. look up writteninstonerecord to find some more videos of him. Go Jimmy!
I first heard this group on a compilation handed out by a local record store for free. I'm a true believer on fate cause I love this song. Decades later still love it!!
yea dam, i had no clue about him until about a month ago and cant get enough of his music. I like all these old songs from his first album better then his new cd out now. He so freaking rocks. I have been missing out
This is not normally my kind of music, but I heard someone do a great version of one of their songs one night and decided to check them out. I love this guy's voice!
Jimmy has breathed life back into an exsistence I once had but lost. His music has allowed me to retrace my steps with eyes wide open and recapture the beauty I left behing. Hearthfelt gratitude.
I remember falling in love with this band many, many moons ago. so fortunate to see them in a small club and meet Jimmy. the one voice that could justly compare to Jeff Buckley.❤
saw them open for Manson way back in a small venue. my jaw was on the floor their entire set. to this day i have not seen a comparable vocal performance, nor will i ever forget it.

can't get enough of this song in 2024
Most underrated album of all time
Most underrated album, vocalist, song, everything of all time
An absolute tragedy the respect it got. I will forever ❤️ it.
I can't tell you how many times I played this CD when it came out. They opened for Thom Yorke (still don't know who he was) and when Ours was done I walked out as everyone was still walking in.
@@trembling3674 brilliant album. Just played it randomly on my way home from rehearsal. Forgot how much I loved this album.
Absolutely. "Bleed" is my favorite song of all time
I will never understand why this band never got bigger.
I have a feeling something like this would bang nowadays big time
They aren't very interesting
@@UlyssesJF they ain't woke enough
@@soknheith3259 Sure, kiddo.
@@UlyssesJF why so offensive
This entire album was gold. Not even 1 filler song. It holds a special place in my heart....
i agree . i remember i heard this song in a HMV store in 2001 and i asked the girl working what it was and she showed me the CD and i bought it . went home listened to it and fell in love with the album . every track is awesome ! 20 years later its still awesome
They have a new song called that
maybe not the very last track, that one is meh... I always thought it would have been better if the closing song to that album were "Meet Me in the Tower" instead.
Me too... Every song ❤
"Why have I not heard this on the radio" is the mantra of every Ours fan.
Hey I remember seeing this video on MTV, so they made it but I guess they couldn't sustain the momentum
@@troysuza2065 they had this video repeated on 1 single program on Mtv (not exactly much use) but their biggest issue was having a crappy label at the time (Dreamworks) so their second album went almost completely unnoticed and it took way too long for their 3rd to come out, by then it was like starting from scratch.
20 years later and this song still slaps.
werd, it just RULES
100 percent
20 YEARS???????
I must’ve been 7 years old.
👴🏼
Slaps....come on
whats crazy is he played a version of this song at my club in NJ in 1992/93!
If I ever make a movie, this will be in the soundtrack
Agree!!
You gonna make one?
Do it
Great idea
Vocals of the Gods above! Incredible voice! Love this!
Jimmy is my voice teacher and probably the coolest dude ever
100%FACTS.You should feel blessed.I wish.
I wish [2]
Wow! Awesome!!!
I gave up on the world who gave up on me.
I get it. Distorted Lullabies is still one of my favorite albums in this genre, and I found it by accident. Sometimes the music world just drowns out the magic, and not every band wants to churn on forever. 🖤
I will never understand why this isn't popular.
and i will never understand pop fans but we can't all be critics
Because AFI repackaged it for the Hot Topic eyeliner crowd, another example of ahead of it's time left in the dust
@@AllGamingStarred simple answer to this is that pop listeners are sheep and flock to the same recycled sound with different lyrics
it's pretty easy to understand : everybody wants pretty lies to forget about real feelings and reality
bad management, and a useless label (dreamworks)
Songs are rarely perfect. This is one of those rare songs. Beautiful.
Billy Keith agreed
Billy Keith agreed as well.
The entire album is perfect
The fact that they/Jimmy just dropped a new album two days ago, over 20 years after DL, is incredible. Sounds as good as ever btw. Everyone reading this do yourselves a favor and check it out. Oh, go listen to Precious and Misery while you're at it
Seriously one of the most underrated bands of all time.
name band?
@@Danielacardenass OURS
everytime Ours dropped a record I had to retroactively find it because they were a band that just got no hype. I don't get it... what a phenomenal group!
2022 here !!!!!!!!! still one of the best songs
Ours sounds like if U2 were actually a good band.
Fun fact: Met Jimmy at Bogarts in Cincinnati after a show. He was touring with Filter and Opiate For The Masses. His first time seeing an OURS tattoo was on me. It's on my spine, and I got it over 20 years ago.
Oftm love that band the singer is one of my closest friends Such a crazy frontman
The bridge of this song alone, is packed with more emotion than the last 1Ø years of pop music.
Fun fact: He got heckled on stage once Jeff Buckley died, with people yelling "There's a dead man on stage!" because of his likeliness to Buckley in both voice and looks.
His voice is stunning.
Truly, one of Rock & Roll's
greatest singer's.
This song is epic ~ JImmy Gnecco should be receiving grammys .
this song was one of my very favorites when it first came out. i couldn't stop listening to it over and over again. now it reminds me of that time in my life. bittersweet, and beautiful.
Wait for the bridge toward the end. It's awesome!
This album will always be one of my favorites. Always.
"I'll give up on the ones who would give up on me."
love that lyric
Alia Meen
I can't stop listening to this song and it's such an epic vid. He sounds so much like Jeff Buckley!
He even kinda looks like Jeff too
This sounds like the early 2000s. In the best way.
This came out in like 1992
No it didn’t 😂
@@demic13more like 2001
Haven't heard this song in about 12-13 years. Loved it when I was younger. I still do at age 25 . I can't get it out of my head!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its a great song:)
Pressure fried the coldest head
Bent to the side wishing he was dead
And I would still defend
I would still defend
I give up on it all
I give up on the greed
I give up on the ones
Who give up on me
Held up by the poor somewhere
There are unaware but I know we are scared
If I was to give in
The fight would soon begin
So I give up on it all
I give up on the greed
I'll give up on the ones
Who'll give up on me
Sometimes sunshine's
Sunshine
Sometimes the sun shines
Sunshine
Did you give up on it all
Did you give up on the greed
Did you give up on the ones
Who gave up on me
I still listen to this album regularly, extremely underrated!
One of the most powerful songs ever made. Wow.
Brent brought me here 14 years ago, I miss you my dear friend 🖤🦋
Saw them opening for Peter Murphy playing Bauhaus on July 26, 2013 in Los Angeles - was blown away how good these guys are! Everything was just top notch - sound, image, music! My new favorite band!
They're still around. Just released their 4th album. Touring. I just saw them last night. Waited 10 years for that shit and it was AMAZING.
Here . . . *18 years now* !! Played a good 330 days a year ... *I promise to do better in 2020* !!
*THE* Daniel Victor, *Never Ending White Lights* helped myself & an amass of others find Jimmy so many years ago.
Ever and 4ever thankful for their friendship & for their genius ways.
This band is so flipping underrated
He’s one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet.
Best rock singer...bar none.
Love when he hits that tone, you know
The beginning riff reminds me of Radiohead's "Talk Show Host"
This has been a favorite of mine since 2001!!!!!!!!
great band, should be mainliners, fan since way back
We still listening in 2022 bois!!!

2:22 adrenalina 💪💪💪👍👍👍
Second CD I ever purchased, and wow, what a perfect album.
Last time I heard this song was in 2001. OMG!
There is a vibe to this song that only can be conveyed to someone by playing the song
I was about 14yrs old (2000) & got their free CD at Des Plaines Metra station !
I met these guys in Boston. The guitar player got into the Limousine with us. I’ll never forget that time in my life.. best days ever.
Привет из Абхазии! Если честно то это самая недооцененная группа!
a chill ran down my spine. the hair on my habds stood on end. I freakin LOVE this soooong! :D
First saw this video back when the MTV2 channel was at it's prime.
Fell in love with the band instantly!
That's exactly where I first saw them too. The entire time I've been reading through comments, I've been wondering if that's where someone else might have discovered them too. I had forgotten about this song till I was browsing through a used cd store. Found one of their cds. Then I went to another one down the road, and they had this one. Of course I had to get it!!!
This whole album was great! They for should have made it bigger.
I'm still proud Jimmy's first OURS tattoo viewed was the one on my spine when I met him at Bogart's. I've had it on my spine for 20 years now.
Thank you Rich Thomas, where ever you are, for showing me this band years ago. Still love them.
This “forgotten” song found me after 20ish years. The timing is impeccable, how could I forget. Listened multiple times daily since. Redefined.
This song is just so perfect, I can't.
I remember we got direct tv about the same time this song came on. It was always on mtv2 and I loved it. I remember when even mtv 2 played music. ha
They did get some recognition, or at least Jimmy did. He did some songs for Metal Gear Rising. And they're damn good. He did the last boss' song: "It has to be this way". Hope to see more from them!
Are you kidding me? I love that song!!! Never made the connection. Thanks for telling us. Off to listen to that again.
What!!!!????
If it wasn't for this band I'd have given up on music in the 2000's.
These guys are amazing to watch live. I didn't think I was going to have any reason to hang around at a show my friends dragged me to and I was completely spellbound. Why are they still opening for people with a quarter of the talent this band has?
The first time I heard this song it was playing in a shopping mall of all places... Back when people used to go to malls... Good shopping music lol.
22 years later abd I still find solice in this song in my darkest moments. I truly has helped ne through alot, especially in the last 10 years.
God i loved this album in 7th grade.
What a nice voice. Will be listening to their music.
Yes! Jimmy Gnecco and Ours... sensational.
This is exactly the way they make me feel, too!
love Jimmy Gnecco! Amazing excellent singer, great song. i consider him a friend. i had the honor of recording and playing with him. look up writteninstonerecord to find some more videos of him. Go Jimmy!
Yea, this guy is an amazing singer and writer!
I first heard this group on a compilation handed out by a local record store for free. I'm a true believer on fate cause I love this song. Decades later still love it!!
I love Ours. This band was amazing
The sometimes sunshines has no business being that good.
So many memories listening to this...
I've seen Ours too many times to count. Nicest bunch of guys you'll meet. I miss those days of following them to see every show I can. So much talent.
Heard this track 1st time on MTV Handpicked from 2002 Its a gem
The best singer in modern music...hand's down...
yea dam, i had no clue about him until about a month ago and cant get enough of his music. I like all these old songs from his first album better then his new cd out now. He so freaking rocks. I have been missing out
I saw them last night for the fifth or sixth time. They always leave me in a euphoric daze for days. WHY CANT I FEEL THIS WAY FOREVER!!!??
been obsessed since 2001. finally saw him last year live. was not disappointed. not even a little. just wish his set would've been longer!
Dang, what a voice! Glad to have heard this one.
such an amazing album...i use to go to sleep to it every night...such a wonderfull group
I was told to listen to this song by a mixer engineer.. Sure glad I did...this is an outstanding song...Love it, well done.
"...sometimes...the sun shines....shines.....sometimes...the sun, It shines.....shines..." BEAUTIFUL!!!!
This is not normally my kind of music, but I heard someone do a great version of one of their songs one night and decided to check them out. I love this guy's voice!
I bought this cd when it came out at crows nest, yessssssss
I highly rate the under rated.
This song still slaps in 2021...and always will.
I'll never understand why this band wasn't and isn't one of the biggest bands on the planet!
I remember seeing them here in Phoenix in the early 2000s. Didn't know who they were and became a fan instantly.
I was listening to this in 4,5th grade. knew every word to every song.. crazy
subject matter I'm barely coming to understand
Frankie Urquijo I had just gotten done with my freshmen year in college. Song brings back some memories
This band should have been huge. People are sheep.
Jimmy has breathed life back into an exsistence I once had but lost. His music has allowed me to retrace my steps with eyes wide open and recapture the beauty I left behing. Hearthfelt gratitude.
I played this album out in 2001. This band is just like a dark, heavy Jeff Buckley. Fantastic group.
No surprise. Jimmy was a fan and friend of Jeff and mimicked his style after him.
@@sg5217lol, nonsense. They didn't meet until the end of Jeff's life. At that point, Ours had already released an album
I remember falling in love with this band many, many moons ago. so fortunate to see them in a small club and meet Jimmy. the one voice that could justly compare to Jeff Buckley.❤
saw them open for Manson way back in a small venue. my jaw was on the floor their entire set. to this day i have not seen a comparable vocal performance, nor will i ever forget it.
Loved this song since i started liking rock music!!!
