Born in 1982. Pretty sure I had the greatest childhood ever. The best music, cartoons, tv shows, video games. Graduated in 2000 to bring in a new millennium and here we are 24 years later and the world is confused about everything. Wish I could relive those years. Life was so much easier and better then.
Don't sweat it bro. I consider those days to be days of blissful ignorance. We now have all the information now and everything that was, at our fingertips via the internet. There's nothing we can hide from now, so of course there's a lot of impropriety and injustice that we have to come to terms with, but with great power comes great weight! But chin up bro, society is improving by leaps and bounds even if it doesn't seem like it at times, the best is yet to come. Still this song will always be a banger though!
This like many other songs that came from the Pacific Northwest is about Andrew Wood ( lead singer of Mother Love Bone, who found Eddie Vedder after his death and became Pearl Jam. Andy was also Chris Cornell's roommate.) So Andy's death impacted the local Seattle music scene. Immensely."Would by Alice in Chains is also about him. The entire Temple of the Dog project was a tribute to him from his roommate Chris and Andy's band to Andy.)
Man, for all of you 40 something’s, don’t ever forget where we came from. Life is a total struggle but our music will never die so when life slaps you just don’t forget this. Turn it back on. Loud.
@@NotasheepleandneverwillbeSame over here, 54 already. Time goes extremely fast when you get older,hate that feeling, before you know it, we are dead and forgotten. Candlebox should not be forgotten, excellent music from our youth,love the sound they made. Greetings....🐥❤🐥
Me too just 43 though. Grew up too fast started heroin at 14 in 95. Needless to say I never planned to be this age. Living reckless going to prison losing too many ppl to even remember . Long live 1990s
My uncle sent me this song 3 days before he took his own life, he said " Listen to this song nephew, one from my era" I'll always love you uncle James. Travel well.
They are watching you. As you sit by your computer they see what you are doing. They can hear what you are saying. Where ever you go they know. They see it all.
Boy oh boy do I miss the 90’s right now. Not just the music but EVERYTHING about it!! Maybe I’m feeling nostalgic, or maybe I just came back to listen to this CLASSIC!! Merry Christmas, Happy Hollidays and a Healthy and Happy New Year to everyone out there!! 🇺🇸
PLEASE TAKE ME BACK TO THE 90S! THE NOSTALGIA IS KILLING ME. Something about the way the tune sounds, the lyrics.. drives me back to a time as a kid in the 90s and it is undescribable. My mind floods with memories and it is sometimes unbearable. The 90s is a time we will never EVER see again. You only understand if you experienced it.
Absolutely, great music and times for our country. It's hard to believe the direction we seem to be heading today, knowing where we were back then. It was such a simpler and better time. I was 12 years old when this song was released. Some of the best years of my life.
Don't be too hard on yourself, there is not a lot of good information about the disease of addiction that goes too far below the surface. The first thing that most people don't get is that again this is a DISEASE and that the behavior of the addict is not the result of some character flaw or lack or morality. Addicts can certainly hurt others, especially their loved ones with erratic and what looks like very selfish behavior. What needs to be understood is that they are not having a good time or enjoying themselves and often feel desperate and broken. Add being judged and shunned to the list and that's what they are dealing with. Maybe someday they can come up with something to alter the addiction gene. I had a coworker whose brother was a heroin addict but found some real help with something called Naltrexone. We need the medical community to create the Naltrexones for other drugs.
l am 47 years old now. I am a father of 2 a stepdad of 6. I am a Pastor now. But as I sit here listening to this while at work. It took me straight back to those days of pain and misery. But also back to the friendships and relationships I had. That I miss...I was a homeless meth dealer that had a good heart in a dark world. I loved a lot and lost a lot. But I would not change any of it. God has taken all that pain and loss and turn it into something awesome. I now can love, help and understand those who are living in that same dark conciousness
God bless you pastor. I was a bad guy back then, narcissist, only cared about one person, dancing with the devil, well, time and becoming a parent fixes that, thank God.
I'm Kate, I was born in October 1986... it is now April 2024, and I think this is my FAVORITE SONG ever!!!! I know nostalgia plays a role, but this song is just INCREDIBLE every time I listen to it!!!! 💞 Thank you Candlebox!!! 💖
Wow. So true. I sit back and think, geez nothing changes, Im bored, I need change, and then you really dig deep and realize nothing is the same. Its weird. I was born in the late 70's. My nephew said, dang uncle you were born in the 1900's😂 Made me feel so old. Gold bless you and may you have a great journey. Maybe see you on the other side one day 👍🏻
Anyone here in 2024? I’m a 80’s child. I beat heroin addiction, 11 years clean today. Married with 7 beautiful children. I own & operate 3 companies. I’m truly blessed! Once an addict NOT always an addict! Facts! Stay strong! You got this! Keep going! NEVER GIVE UP! And I love this song! Much love & respect brothers & sisters!
Praise God, He is so good, that just made my day truly……. Thank you for that amazing story that we all need to be reminded of, how God can take the worst and bring the best that we don’t deserve, thank you Lora for your mercy…
I was 14 when this song was released. The gut wrenching darkness and depression of those years haunts me to this day. This song taps into those places like no other song. At 42, I'm so grateful to be happy, sober, free, and without suicidal thoughts. It gets better.
They sure don't. It's all about money now and what will make people kiss their asses instead of using music to express the many emotions we have, many expressed in this song alone
The 90's. Where most songs took you on an emotional rollercoaster you never knew you needed to experience! And you were better for it. If only you could bottle this and sell!
Generation X created a lot of sad songs. We were the throwaway children from broken marriages and selfish parents (not all obviously). We were handed a country in decline and told we were slackers. My mother married 5 times and I was dropped off to live with grandparents. I stayed married and raised children who are doing well. I'm battling stage IV cancer for 5 years and still going. Life never gets any easier, but we were trained well.
Keep up the good fight brother god bless man.My close 1st cousin is fighting it and multiple members of my family have passed.You definitely are right.Sometimes I wish I was born in the early 70s.Seems like they are all doing well for themselves and lived through the best times
@@Ninjersey1 Thanks man, only thing is I'm a woman, so you can call me sister lol. I hope your cousin kicks cancer's ass, and I'm sorry you lost family members. It's good you take care of your health and I wish you great luck and happiness!
I feel so fortunate to have grown up in the 80’s and 90’s. There was no Social Media and no one I knew had a cell phone. You had to meet with your friends to hang out. We also had some kick ass music to listen to back then.
seeing all your comments about how amazing the 80s and 90s were fills my heart with joy i know its not the 80s or 90s anymore but im 16 and listing to candle box and other old school bands like because my mom showed me what real music is and shes no longer here and this song reminds me of her
There was some cool stuff then, and some shitty stuff. Growing up in the 80s, I'd constantly hear people talk about how the 60s were so much better, so take it with a grain of salt... every generation does this.
Hey there, I'm so sorry to hear about ur mom, can't imagine what ur going thru but if ur listening to this song it's definitely something deep cuz this song cuts down to my real pain, the loss of my children... I can only pray all mothers and children will be reunited someday somewhere with the love of God. May the good Lord keep you close to ur mummy, u will be with her again, ❤
I lost my mom when I was 15, as she was fighting to get custody of me due to struggling with addiction and depression. I lost her the day we were supposed to have our first unsupervised visit. I’m 28 now, it’s not any easier. This was her song, I grew up listening to it. As I sit here with tears in my eyes - I miss her so much.
I lost my mom when I was 12 I’m 22 now. Keep going through your life better times are coming but we have to fight through it and it’s good sometimes to take a moment think about her and cry. Than dry you tears and she‘ll be smiling from above. God Bless you Brother 🤝💪
My uncle is the guitarist for candlebox Brian Quinn and he is incredible I have a passion for music because of him and he works so hard for what he has. Thanks uncle Brian
@Noahsfarmingandmusic same. Buddy had a free ticket and at first I didn’t want to go. Mostly cause I’m lazy, a home body, and in my 40’s. So glad I changed my mind.
There was something about this type of music in the 90's. Straight magic. The lyrics actually meant something. Candlebox, Live, Alice in Chains, Tool, Collective Soul, Pearl Jam. Straight Magic!!
Yes ...all great bands you mentioned, forgetting Nirvana and later, Foo Fighters...grunge was a great expression of our repressed and collective "angst"! And we embraced it. I have seen every one of the bands you mentioned ...plus a few more, and I have a special enthrallment with that time in my life, and the music was a BIG part of it. Thanks for your post.
I met the singer from this band back in the 90s when I had some bad sh** going on. I will never forget it. There was a room of press people waiting for the band, he blew them off, took me aside and talked to me. Even when they asked him to come in, he waved them away. No bull, no groupie crap just talk. Thank god, for decent people and for music. Thank god for music.
i saw him on his solo tour years ago and only 6 people were there."(casino-middle of the week) so 5hey came off the stage and gave everyone an autographed cd and hung out with us til the bar closed. good times.
I was born in '69. I feel beyond honored to grow up in the 80s 90s. The best music, movies, memories etc.. I'm sorry kids but you'll never enjoy a childhood like ours. Xo
I always wished I could be a teenager or young adult in the 90s. Looked like a such an awesome. Unfortunately I was born 93 lol. I just turned 30 last month
Born in 82 I always talk about how much I loved the 80s and 90s and would go back in a second! These old classics hit so deep it makes me emotional it's like you can feel those times all over again.
Yep my grunge friends this music is a breath of life 80s and 90s will love on forever. What an awesome song thank you candlebox for adding another great to the music box .Times are bad Don’t give up we will turn it around we always do.we are not that Far Behind.God Bless all of you in pain,all my best to all of u beautiful humans.Take care.later for now
Just remembering the times I would listen to this song in my car and there was no phone ringing..no phone pinging..just me my car and the music and the thoughts of what I would do with my day. Such an amazing time to grow up when we had our own thoughts not thoughts put in our heads through phones, facebook,instagram,tweets, whatever million other things that didnt exist at the time. Life was simple
Just lost my uncle hours ago, he was like a big brother to me. This was one of his favorite songs. Now it’s forever linked to his memory. R.I.P. Uncle Pat. Until we meet again
Sorry you suffered dad! I was just a kid. To this day ive never forgot you and your grandkids ask about you everyday! I truly wish i could have taken your pain sorrow away, sorry my mother gave up on you. Your service to this Country will never be forgotten. Love you dad
My son took his life five years ago. Every time I hear this I think of him. I wish he would have told me he was suffering. I would have done anything to help- but he didn't. He left me far behind. If anyone out there is thinking of ending it- please reach out to someone. Call a hot line, talk to a friend, there is help. I would give anything to hold him again. Please don't give up. RIP my boy.I miss you
80’s kid.. I used to love going down to the music/bookstores and looking through magazines and the new CDs. This was the first CD I ever bought. Definitely better times and way better music in the 90s. I cherish those years and I miss them very much.
I was a teenager when this song came out.... Wish I had known back then how badly I'd miss those years... .. Maybe I wouldn't have been in such a damn hurry to grow up so quick!
This song reminds me of the last totally free days I had with my sister before she died from cancer. She left behind her daughter who I got to raise. Miss you Peggy.
Listened a lot to this song back in the mid 90's. Still listen to it today, 30 years later. I still love it, even though it's connected to A LOT of really bad memories.
nothing like listening to music that takes you back to a time that makes you smile...like this era and the era i grew up in, classic rock, the 70's music was a good time for me to listen to and make my heart smile and remember!!
So many great hard rock songs to come out of the 90's. You can easily make the argument that this is among the best, if not THE best. A song whose greatness cannot ever be over-stated.
This is just one of those songs that you never grow tired of. Takes me back to my teenage years. I feel the joy of all the wonderful memories made back then, before social media robbed children of life experiences. It also makes me sad that my youth is gone. I’d do anything to go back just one day.
Your not alone😞I hate the times we live in now... The 90s ......I'm grateful I was an 89s baby or I'd have potentially missed out on all the 90s had to offer#goodtimes
sister died at 35 ,mental illness , massive coronary. She loved this song and it reminds me of her. Go hug your siblings , forget the b.s before it's too late to apologize or reconcile. Cheers 🥂 to family and health for you all
I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my only sister at the same age. I was 11 years younger than her. She passed thanksgiving night from suicide. This song always make me think of her. I hope where they are at now their souls are at peace. ❤️
I know we don’t know each other nor we ever meet, but I just wanted to say I am truly sorry for your loss. You are so right about letting the bs go!!! God bless you
This song makes me wish I could just go back and correct every wrong, but in life you cant.. that's the beauty of it all, it's about learning from those mistakes and doing better. Always remember everything happens for a reason.
Planting trees. Give your mistakes to the young, so they may avoid those should they recognize them. There was a time when old men told stories to children for that very gift.
We were trained to be independent thinkers. Mother was widowed at 29. It was 1985 I was 9 years old. My father was murdered. My mother had to pick up the pieces. She went through hell for my siblings and me. She taught me how to survive and thrive. God rest her beautiful soul. ❤
Lost my wife of 34 years six months ago to addiction. 4 beautiful kids, I miss her so much. We were product of the 80s - had a great time all 34 years listening to all those songs!
i know how it feels i lost of my wife of tens years to adddiction and drinking im so heart broken i get it time doesnt heal wounds thats a lie we will never get over it trust me BUT we have to move on ither or way
This was my best friends favorite song way back in the day. He was two years older than me and more like a brother than friend. We both married(best men in each others weddings), moved away, had kids and lost touch. I moved back to my hometown a decade later and so did he. We never got the chance to make new memories or even relive the old ones because he was taken by ALS. I miss him but I really feel for his kids because they never got to know how awesome he was. I guess if you are reading this, I want you to cherish those you love and let them know. You don't always get another chance.
Anarchy Eddy you words brings me to tears..I am crying a river right now..Time will heal, not that I believe that..I have lost so many loved ones in my life..My wife to be killed her herself..I feel how you feel my friend.
Damn man may your friend rest in peace i had an older cousin taken by als he was a great guy everyone liked always smiling it hit him quick it's so terrible to see a great person cut down like that my condolences
I spent 10 years as a raging alcoholic... Contemplating suicide every day. Fighting demons and hurting my loved ones in the process. People I thought was my friends. I'm so glad I can say I am 9 years sober as of February 15th 2021. No more tears. No more suffering. Loving life to the fullest and being thankful a song could touch me the way this one does. If you haven't been there, you will never know how much this song speaks to an addict. Well for me it does anyways.
Been there done that, with many many things I regret but have to live with that I know would never have happened if I'd taken a different path in life. Hey I'm an oldie but a goodie, I quit 30 years ago and have never missed it one time. What is now my ex burnt me out on it, he had hep C and the more drs told him to quit drinking the more he drank till he finally drank enough. I had quit drinking one day, kicked him out the next day then quit smoking the next day, I was cleaning house! I've never missed any of them. I was lucky, because I hated it so bad I just got up one day and said no more, same with the smoking and was able to do it. It's a whole new life isn't it? And it is awesome! I wish everyone going thru the misery of it could do the same as we did. I'm very happy for you.
That’s great news! Keep it up, but one day at a time. You do find out who your friends are for sure. But a change in your social life is a requirement to succeed here.
My goodness, just felt like I traveled back in time. This song beyond words , extremely powerful when I grew up. I am 47 years old, born in 1976. The music I had growing up I did actually appreciate it. Why it hurts so much now I feel the way I was raised is gone dead. I feel Far Behind
I lost my brother at 17, followed by 3 best friends and a second father before I turned 25. My fiance passed when I was 33. I had a terrible bone infection at 35 and colon cancer when I was 38. I've been left far behind many times. This is a good song, but y'all need to stop putting your energy into people you'll never know and start holding on to the ones you have. Get some self confidence and beat the odds. Stay strong for your family and help whoever you can. Just do the right thing daily and sleep well at night. God bless and good luck...it's gonna take all of us to make it.
So sorry for all of losses. I had a year like this as well when so many family and friends passed. There were so many funerals that I started to become numb to death, sadly.
I sat down to learn this song this morning in honor of my late friend, Shannon. Tears began to stream down my face and I had to stop. I thought I understood what this song was about, but it was not until today, this very moment, that I think I finally do. Anyone who has ever lost a loved one to substance abuse can feel the pain Candlebox channeled through this song. Shannon was a beautiful, generous, loving soul. Her pain and suffering are now far behind.
RIP Shannon and bless your heart DarthRue I hope you are doing well. This song was written by Kevin Martin about one of his best friends, Andrew Wood of Mother Love Bone, who died of a drug overdose.
This song was there when my parents divorced at 13 yrs., my first heartbreak at 21 yrs., sharing with my first born at 29 yrs., and when I went through my divorce at 38 yrs. Overcoming hardships and enjoying memories. 💜🎶🎵🎶💜
32 and grew up poor in the most rural part of Australia you can get in a trailer a mile outside of town. Had parents that worked hard to give me everything they didn’t have and one year bought me a radio/cd/tape player that I could only figure out one station to play and it was all grunge and somehow was exactly how I figured out how to process all my little feelings that I otherwise wouldn’t. Best era of music always
One of the best songs of all the 90’s god I feel so young when I listen to this it takes me back to a certain time in my life . God I miss those days want to go back when life was care free
I think sh like Me: this shit ain't normal World: I mean, have you took a look around? Everybody screaming at the same time: yes it is !!! Me: oh. Welp... f all yall too then.
sometimes I feel like I’m in the twilight zone!!! if you told me back in high school that life was going to be like this I would have never believe you
Just yesterday I was young... Healthly.. Happy and so full of life. Now I'm tired and have spent my life working just to try to get ahead... Bye..bye to the American Dream..
Quite possibly my favorite song of all time. Great lyrics which are open to interpretation, amazing vocals, with one of the best guitar solos of all time. Highly underrated album and band.
Open to interpretation? The singer said precisely what this song is about- or precisely, who it is about. It is about Andy Wood (the same guy that Temple Of The Dog was about)
I just wrote about how powerfully the guitar solo affects me. It is literally, truly up there with my favorites by Rush, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin. 💙
When was the good ole days? I mean we, as in humans, keep repeating history over and over again. Wars and wars ober and over again. Seriously throughout history. Over the last 100 years they got a little slick awith their PR game. They tell us we are bombing, invading or over throwing one country's leader in the "name of freedom and democracy" and we gobble it up. We get the "illusion of choice" but its not because they are same. We'll keep listening to songs we love meanwhile children and families keep getting bombed, raped, invaded and killed in another part if the world. The US (we) has done this relentlessly since what world war 1 or 2. Before us it was the Brits, France, Spain, Germen, Portugal, Aztecs, Incas, Mayans, Romans,.Vikings, Jews, Arabs, Egyptians, and like every country/territory in human history. All countries/territories have had a part in it in one way or another. Relentless killing of millions and millions of citizens for what? Yes citizens not leaders, royalty, rich and/or elite, just us poor folk. Just cause you're not homeless or starving doesn't mean you aren't poor. George Carlin said said best,."its a big club and you ain't in it". And he exaggerated a lot with the word "big". Maybe 3% of the global population in the club. Yet we allow them to send us to slaughter and get slaughtered so they can steal and horde more wealth? It makes absolutely zero sense yet we have allowed them to do it over and over the last few thousand years. We work our life's away so the 3% don't have to and they get rich. So again when were these good ole days for 95% of the global population? In conclusion make sure y'all vote next week for your illusiomake sure y'all vote next week for your illusion. Yeah I could have paragraphed it for easier reading. Then again we could have stopped hundreds of millions of needless deaths.
2021 and still this song finds its way to fit into my life. My God... All the people gone losing their battle with addiction or depression. This song is amazingly preformed and right at the top of my favs.
My husband's dad dedicated this to him b4. Idk alot about his dads dad. I Just know the s.dad. his real mom &dad passed. He said I would've liked his mom tho. She supported them all at 1 point but they all were on drugs, stealing from her. I dont think they've learned anything. I dont really get the dad but he doesn't necessarily intrigue me enough... even his s.dad has moochy vibes. I just know that he says he wish he wouldve been around more for his son. But truth be told I still hear alot of back & forth between the mom & dad, till this day. Theyre not together. My partnas dad & s.dad are the musician type messes. I suppose that where he gets alot of his old school tastes from. I could go on & on about his background. But everytime I get heated, I know I say sh out of anger & truth prob hurts. But this song always reminded me of my background too tho... So some×s when my husband's gets to the point where he's kept up w/ my antics, & approaches me in a softer way, me only gradually going w/ the flow... still lost between mad & nice is like uh yeah. I do understand how they mistreat u. but u also act alot like them. But it does get on my last nerve, the antics they do. How the f would they treat their own sons, next on the line, the way they do. He is my person. So, some*s I think out of guilt, they over compensate & baby him as a grown man. His growth obviously is not going at some natural speed. & it rages me to the fullest how his male elders still think they're more kaniving than not, pretty much instilling & encouraging those behaviors. In short, I really just think they all need to get laid. By some poor women. Sometimes, I honestly do get weird vibes... he & some others even think they're jealous & it's fn weird. Theres more, but I'll leave that out. So yes, I find it absolutely hilarious at least when I see his s.gpa & gma (not together, moms side) still going at it. That elderly woman is Not having it! As far as the dad, he's like a fn lost cause. Always calling his son to rant about some drama he'll dive right in the middle of just to play victim & better than thee bs. U sir, ur detrimental to ur sons brains. & hearts. U r indeed the fn weakest link. & I h8 it for him/ them but there's only so much I can take.
Omg- yes to all of this! I remember getting in my car, lighting a cigarette (back then) and just FEELING. Damn, I felt on top of the fkng world back in the mid 90s high school
Candlebox has always been one of my favorite bands! Grew up in the 80’/90’s - what an incredible time to grow up! The music was absolutely amazing, so many great bands! Although I love my life now, those were some truly great and special times!
This song was played at my big brother's funeral. He passed at 9 after a car accident 2 years prior. It's always been a part of my life since my mother loved the band so much when I was small. I'm a lot older now and have watched my younger brother struggle with addiction for over 10 years. As an adult knowing someone you love is struggling like that, it takes on an entirely new meaning compared to what it meant when I was a kid. My best friend just bought us tickets to see you guys with 3 Doors Down and I'm most excited for Candlebox. I'm sure I'll lose it hearing this song live since it's always meant so much to me.
My lady father loved these 2 bands and he passed last August a day before my birthday. I also bought us some tickets to Rock out for my father in law 🤘 3doorsDown and Candlebox. Perfect concert for her ❤️🥹
Music for me instantly brings me back to various moments in my life. It's both awesome and sad at the same time. There's a Matthew Good Band song (90s Canadian alt rock) that brings me back to when my elementary school friend was killed by a drunk driver. It makes me sad, but at least I spend a moment remembering my friend who died so many years ago.
@@triciamartin8736 You're worth the effort it takes to get better. You matter, and whatever hurt you're going through is more than valid. I'll be thinking of you and wish you all the best.
Born 2000 and I can only imagine what a decade the 90s were. This feeling from this music is incomparable. Man and this song gives you a specific feeling don‘t know how to describe. Thanks to Candlebox ✌️ just listened to a live version and i was really surprised how good this track sounds. Sounds like the studio version just incredible
Bro your age and birth doesn't matter. I like Elvis, I wasn't alive then. I like Shakespeare, wasn't alive then. Stop with the qualifying. We are about to enter an age of strength.
@@juanlewisii4754 wasn‘t a qualifying brother. You absolutely right. But sometimes I think how easy these times were without these modern crap. But we have to carry the good old times and culture for our kids. Thank God we not one of these mainstream guys with zero interests in the past
This song could go out to so many great rock stars of the 90s. They were the last of an era. After the nineties music died when everything became auto tune and bad songwriting. If you were around for these times it was a blast. If you weren’t enjoy the music from our days. RIP Andrew, Kurt, Shannon, Layne, Chris and everyone else who showed us their souls.
Except the closing of the eyes at the end, & leaving the worldly body behind, for the beginning of the next, while a hurt friend regrets the timing.😶✌🙏🏼⚘💜💙💜
Well, not everything. It's about Andrew Woods's overdose and death. He lost his best friend and wrote this. I'm sure he would've rather had Andrew here
April 1994, almost the end of sophomore year in high school...so long ago, so much has happened since then...almost feels like it was all a fading dream.
Class of 1992 !!! It was amazing !!! I just have so much nostalgia for this , cause these days will never be again I am 45 years old now , and don't get me wrong I roll with the new times, but these days were amazing! And I can still remember them clearly, so much has changed
Mistakenly stumbled across the opening notes playing my guitar this weekend, and now I know the lyrics. What a powerful song. God bless everyone who's recovering. Stay strong. We got this 🙏
The 90's were truly the last great generation of music. I'm so very glad my formidable years were spent in the 90's. Good times, good friends and even better music.
@Jon H please pay attention in history class so that you know what generation the "Boomers" are and then school yourself chile because most of them proved they do not like our music during 2022 halftime Superbowl Show 🤣🤣🤣 Then find some damn respect and stop calling our elders and elderly generations that disrespectful bullshit.
@@crazydoggylady3303 i know what generation the Boomers are, crackhead. The sentiment of "this time period was the last great period of music" is one of the quintessential perspectives they're constantly declaring, and it's both completely stupid and depressingly ignorant - as if musical talent literally died on December 31st 1999. Also, that halftime show was ass,.

81 I’m hearing that
As a GenXer, im gonna have to tell you “hold my beer”.
Born 1982 in Santa Cruz and very grateful. Money didn’t matter as much it was all about the hang.
This era produced some of the greatest music ever made. Period.
Absolutely 💯 💯 💯
The whole era rap era rock era all of them
it did. no shit.
@@yvonneamlett395 no disputing that
This like many other songs that came from the Pacific Northwest is about Andrew Wood ( lead singer of Mother Love Bone, who found Eddie Vedder after his death and became Pearl Jam. Andy was also Chris Cornell's roommate.) So Andy's death impacted the local Seattle music scene. Immensely."Would by Alice in Chains is also about him. The entire Temple of the Dog project was a tribute to him from his roommate Chris and Andy's band to Andy.)
Man, for all of you 40 something’s, don’t ever forget where we came from. Life is a total struggle but our music will never die so when life slaps you just don’t forget this. Turn it back on. Loud.
I do, and my neighbors yell, TURN IT UP !!!!!!
Was 16 when this came out. I'm still here man against all odds
I blast it as often as I can. My 14yr old daughter doesn't get it! 😂
Or 50 something’s like me
@@RecruitingJunkie 50 here and i will be seeing them in concert in just a few months! First time too!!❤ Too excited!
I stopped asking God for stuff...I thank Him everyday for all he has given me.
Peace and Love to all.
100%, most of your prayers should be thankful prayers....he's not hard of hearing, no need to repeat, and knows what you need(beyond time).
Peace
god sucks
god sucks only cares about the scum of society
Yet you're here simping for likes lol
This song will soon be THIRTY YEARS OLD. That truly blows my mind. It still has all the power it ever had, and has lost none of its appeal to me-none.
Meaning, it shouldn't be unemployed and living with his parents. However, if that's indeed the case, I hope it finds its Veronica.
Wow,you just made realize how old I am. I'm 40 with a 23 and 19 year old in army and jammed this as a kid and still love
I'm 52 this year , so I guess that means I was 22 when this came out 🤔
@@NotasheepleandneverwillbeSame over here, 54 already. Time goes extremely fast when you get older,hate that feeling, before you know it, we are dead and forgotten. Candlebox should not be forgotten, excellent music from our youth,love the sound they made. Greetings....🐥❤🐥
It's already 30 😝 Released in July '93 and recorded in '92. Still wild though.
I was born in 1974. Just turned 50. Gen X absolutely the best times, music and memorable. Sooo miss my 90’s
Me too just 43 though. Grew up too fast started heroin at 14 in 95. Needless to say I never planned to be this age. Living reckless going to prison losing too many ppl to even remember . Long live 1990s
You looke pretty good I'd assume you were 35.

Same girl - i'm 50 in october
❤ 50 in November
My uncle sent me this song 3 days before he took his own life, he said " Listen to this song nephew, one from my era" I'll always love you uncle James. Travel well.
Wow. I'm sorry.
I am so sorry for your loss - he sent you a good one.
This is my first comment on here I think? I'm sorry for your loss. Genuinely. This must be so bittersweet to listen to.
Treasure it. My condolences.
Sorry 😢 for your loss!
"Wait...dont bury him yet" brought me to this masterpiece.

They are watching you. As you sit by your computer they see what you are doing. They can hear what you are saying. Where ever you go they know. They see it all.
Boy oh boy do I miss the 90’s right now. Not just the music but EVERYTHING about it!! Maybe I’m feeling nostalgic, or maybe I just came back to listen to this CLASSIC!! Merry Christmas, Happy Hollidays and a Healthy and Happy New Year to everyone out there!! 🇺🇸
I had such teenage angst back then now I look back and God I'm I thankful that I grew up in the 80/90's. I appreciate it so much more now.
right??
Man 90s was the best ever
AGREED!! Happy New Year! 🎊🥂💪🏽
I was born in 88, this song is one of my core memories
PLEASE TAKE ME BACK TO THE 90S! THE NOSTALGIA IS KILLING ME. Something about the way the tune sounds, the lyrics.. drives me back to a time as a kid in the 90s and it is undescribable. My mind floods with memories and it is sometimes unbearable. The 90s is a time we will never EVER see again. You only understand if you experienced it.
110% best comment. I agree and relate all to well. Well said DayZ Reloaded❤️💜💙
I hate the present! I want to go back but I can't.
Absolutely, great music and times for our country. It's hard to believe the direction we seem to be heading today, knowing where we were back then. It was such a simpler and better time. I was 12 years old when this song was released. Some of the best years of my life.
Don't be too hard on yourself, there is not a lot of good information about the disease of addiction that goes too far below the surface. The first thing that most people don't get is that again this is a DISEASE and that the behavior of the addict is not the result of some character flaw or lack or morality.
Addicts can certainly hurt others, especially their loved ones with erratic and what looks like very selfish behavior. What needs to be understood is that they are not having a good time or enjoying themselves and often feel desperate and broken. Add being judged and shunned to the list and that's what they are dealing with. Maybe someday they can come up with something to alter the addiction gene. I had a coworker whose brother was a heroin addict but found some real help with something called Naltrexone. We need the medical community to create the Naltrexones for other drugs.

Anyone who grew up in the 90s knows how good we had it. A magical time in history. Truly blessed to have those memories.
Indeed ❤
Oh yeah my brother. Goodtimes it was! 😢
l am 47 years old now. I am a father of 2 a stepdad of 6. I am a Pastor now. But as I sit here listening to this while at work. It took me straight back to those days of pain and misery. But also back to the friendships and relationships I had. That I miss...I was a homeless meth dealer that had a good heart in a dark world. I loved a lot and lost a lot. But I would not change any of it. God has taken all that pain and loss and turn it into something awesome. I now can love, help and understand those who are living in that same dark conciousness
God bless you pastor. I was a bad guy back then, narcissist, only cared about one person, dancing with the devil, well, time and becoming a parent fixes that, thank God.
Love you for this great blessings fir being the amazing human you are.
There is only one shepherd, Jesus and him alone.
Good for u Deana says I proud for u

Thank you for your comment. I am a recovering opiate addict and going through a lot right now. I needed to see this. Proud of you!
I was 14 when this song was released. The gut wrenching darkness and depression of those years haunts me to this day. This song taps into those places like no other song. At 42, I'm so grateful to be happy, sober, free, and without suicidal thoughts. It gets better.
The big hair bands up to when these guys came on the scene was some of the greatest music ever made.
Same year twin.. similar pains
this is a positive thing to read. thank you. It DOES get better
God bless you
Right on Andrew. 🤙🏼
They don’t make em like this anymore. Kick ass simple rock!!!
Sure dont ...there finally making good shit 😂
They sure don't. It's all about money now and what will make people kiss their asses instead of using music to express the many emotions we have, many expressed in this song alone

Generation X created a lot of sad songs. We were the throwaway children from broken marriages and selfish parents (not all obviously). We were handed a country in decline and told we were slackers. My mother married 5 times and I was dropped off to live with grandparents. I stayed married and raised children who are doing well. I'm battling stage IV cancer for 5 years and still going. Life never gets any easier, but we were trained well.
Keep up the good fight brother god bless man.My close 1st cousin is fighting it and multiple members of my family have passed.You definitely are right.Sometimes I wish I was born in the early 70s.Seems like they are all doing well for themselves and lived through the best times

I feel so fortunate to have grown up in the 80’s and 90’s. There was no Social Media and no one I knew had a cell phone. You had to meet with your friends to hang out. We also had some kick ass music to listen to back then.
Me too. A different time and different people. More peace.
Yep! Born in ‘70! So this stuff was all brand new and hotter than hell! Remains so!

@@ahhwe-any7434 they won’t even read them 😅😂😂
Those were definitely the times! I try to tell everyone that the 80's, and the 90's had the best music.
seeing all your comments about how amazing the 80s and 90s were fills my heart with joy i know its not the 80s or 90s anymore but im 16 and listing to candle box and other old school bands like because my mom showed me what real music is and shes no longer here and this song reminds me of her
There was some cool stuff then, and some shitty stuff. Growing up in the 80s, I'd constantly hear people talk about how the 60s were so much better, so take it with a grain of salt... every generation does this.
Hey there, I'm so sorry to hear about ur mom, can't imagine what ur going thru but if ur listening to this song it's definitely something deep cuz this song cuts down to my real pain, the loss of my children... I can only pray all mothers and children will be reunited someday somewhere with the love of God. May the good Lord keep you close to ur mummy, u will be with her again, ❤
Beautiful words my friend ,
Sorry my dude.
Mom's had good taste. Keep on Rockin!!!!👍
This song reminds me of my dad. He battled alcoholism his whole life. He was the greatest father there ever was. I love and miss you dad❤❤❤
I lost my mom when I was 15, as she was fighting to get custody of me due to struggling with addiction and depression. I lost her the day we were supposed to have our first unsupervised visit. I’m 28 now, it’s not any easier. This was her song, I grew up listening to it. As I sit here with tears in my eyes - I miss her so much.
Sorry for your loss. Her spirit is in you. keep on goin on. peace
♥️
I lost my mom when I was 12 I’m 22 now. Keep going through your life better times are coming but we have to fight through it and it’s good sometimes to take a moment think about her and cry. Than dry you tears and she‘ll be smiling from above. God Bless you Brother 🤝💪
My condolences to you
God bless you! Stay strong!
My uncle is the guitarist for candlebox Brian Quinn and he is incredible I have a passion for music because of him and he works so hard for what he has.

@Noahsfarmingandmusic same. Buddy had a free ticket and at first I didn’t want to go. Mostly cause I’m lazy, a home body, and in my 40’s. So glad I changed my mind.
There was something about this type of music in the 90's. Straight magic. The lyrics actually meant something. Candlebox, Live, Alice in Chains, Tool, Collective Soul, Pearl Jam. Straight Magic!!
no Nirvana?
Soundgarden Black hole sun. It was an era that was incredibly remarkable.
You named just a few!
Well said
Yes ...all great bands you mentioned, forgetting Nirvana and later, Foo Fighters...grunge was a great expression of our repressed and collective "angst"!
And we embraced it.
I have seen every one of the bands you mentioned ...plus a few more, and I have a special enthrallment with that time in my life, and the music was a BIG part of it.
Thanks for your post.
I met the singer from this band back in the 90s when I had some bad sh** going on.
I will never forget it. There was a room of press people waiting for the band, he blew them off, took me aside and talked to me. Even when they asked him to come in, he waved them away. No bull, no groupie crap just talk. Thank god, for decent people and for music. Thank god for music.
Awesome
wow. Cool story. Thanks for sharing

I thought "groupie" was "groopy". Oh well. My "Fail" and good for you!
i saw him on his solo tour years ago and only 6 people were there."(casino-middle of the week) so 5hey came off the stage and gave everyone an autographed cd and hung out with us til the bar closed. good times.

72' Fact!
His vocals and notes he was able to hit are unmatched to this day. What an amazing song, love this guy
Born in 82 I always talk about how much I loved the 80s and 90s and would go back in a second! These old classics hit so deep it makes me emotional it's like you can feel those times all over again.
Yes! Counting crows Long December does the same thing! 💙✌️

Just remembering the times I would listen to this song in my car and there was no phone ringing..no phone pinging..just me my car and the music and the thoughts of what I would do with my day. Such an amazing time to grow up when we had our own thoughts not thoughts put in our heads through phones, facebook,instagram,tweets, whatever million other things that didnt exist at the time. Life was simple
Just lost my uncle hours ago, he was like a big brother to me. This was one of his favorite songs. Now it’s forever linked to his memory. R.I.P. Uncle Pat. Until we meet again

80’s kid.. I used to love going down to the music/bookstores and looking through magazines and the new CDs. This was the first CD I ever bought. Definitely better times and way better music in the 90s. I cherish those years and I miss them very much.

It’s 12:30 pm, I’m 9 months pregnant and going through all the music from my middle school days.
Fa sho ! 😕
This song reminds me of the last totally free days I had with my sister before she died from cancer. She left behind her daughter who I got to raise. Miss you Peggy.
I’m so sorry 😢 At least her daughter has a good, kind, amazing selfless role model 😇

Absolutely
Listened a lot to this song back in the mid 90's. Still listen to it today, 30 years later. I still love it, even though it's connected to A LOT of really bad memories.
I'm 55. This band was a mandatory band to listen to when they first hit the rock scene! I will listen to them until I am dead! Rock on my friend!
this 1 song?
Exactly!
nothing like listening to music that takes you back to a time that makes you smile...like this era and the era i grew up in, classic rock, the 70's music was a good time for me to listen to and make my heart smile and remember!!
So many great hard rock songs to come out of the 90's. You can easily make the argument that this is among the best, if not THE best. A song whose greatness cannot ever be over-stated.
THE best. Music peaked in the 90's. Been swirling the drain every since (just like the world).
This is just one of those songs that you never grow tired of. Takes me back to my teenage years. I feel the joy of all the wonderful memories made back then, before social media robbed children of life experiences. It also makes me sad that my youth is gone. I’d do anything to go back just one day.
Your not alone😞I hate the times we live in now... The 90s ......I'm grateful I was an 89s baby or I'd have potentially missed out on all the 90s had to offer#goodtimes

You're youth is now. Live it up. One day today will be just a memory when you're old. Go out and enjoy this youth. Your younger self would thank you
Yeah. I agree. This adulting shit is crazy. I wanna go back.
naw i grew tired of it bout half way, wondering god this song still playing.....
First time hearing this. I agree This is blues and soulful. Dam he is great. Love it.
This will always be one of my favorite songs. Still listening to Candlebox in 2021
Yup & Always Will In The Future
Yes still listening grew up on this it will never get old
Mine too...
Hi good afternoon

In Jesus name: Amen,✨
I'm so sorry for your loss. My condolences.. I hope you can find peace some day..
I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my only sister at the same age. I was 11 years younger than her. She passed thanksgiving night from suicide. This song always make me think of her. I hope where they are at now their souls are at peace. ❤️
I know we don’t know each other nor we ever meet, but I just wanted to say I am truly sorry for your loss. You are so right about letting the bs go!!! God bless you

This song makes me wish I could just go back and correct every wrong, but in life you cant.. that's the beauty of it all, it's about learning from those mistakes and doing better. Always remember everything happens for a reason.
That is so right ☺
Thank You!! I needed to hear that!!! You stated it perfectly
I'm learning to work with that.
Planting trees. Give your mistakes to the young, so they may avoid those should they recognize them. There was a time when old men told stories to children for that very gift.
So many mistakes I wish I could go back and change. But you just have to live in the here and now and try to be a better person.
I loved this song as a senior in high school. I still love it! Who's with me?

In my 10,000 CD collection! So glad I kept memories stored, memories that no one can take away.
This was my best friends favorite song way back in the day. He was two years older than me and more like a brother than friend. We both married(best men in each others weddings), moved away, had kids and lost touch. I moved back to my hometown a decade later and so did he. We never got the chance to make new memories or even relive the old ones because he was taken by ALS. I miss him but I really feel for his kids because they never got to know how awesome he was. I guess if you are reading this, I want you to cherish those you love and let them know. You don't always get another chance.
Anarchy Eddy you words brings me to tears..I am crying a river right now..Time will heal, not that I believe that..I have lost so many loved ones in my life..My wife to be killed her herself..I feel how you feel my friend.
Damn man may your friend rest in peace i had an older cousin taken by als he was a great guy everyone liked always smiling it hit him quick it's so terrible to see a great person cut down like that my condolences
Oh man 😔
Damn dude R.I.P. to your buddy just know he’s watching you from above now

I spent 10 years as a raging alcoholic... Contemplating suicide every day. Fighting demons and hurting my loved ones in the process. People I thought was my friends. I'm so glad I can say I am 9 years sober as of February 15th 2021. No more tears. No more suffering. Loving life to the fullest and being thankful a song could touch me the way this one does. If you haven't been there, you will never know how much this song speaks to an addict. Well for me it does anyways.
Been there done that, with many many things I regret but have to live with that I know would never have happened if I'd taken a different path in life. Hey I'm an oldie but a goodie, I quit 30 years ago and have never missed it one time. What is now my ex burnt me out on it, he had hep C and the more drs told him to quit drinking the more he drank till he finally drank enough. I had quit drinking one day, kicked him out the next day then quit smoking the next day, I was cleaning house! I've never missed any of them. I was lucky, because I hated it so bad I just got up one day and said no more, same with the smoking and was able to do it. It's a whole new life isn't it? And it is awesome! I wish everyone going thru the misery of it could do the same as we did. I'm very happy for you.
Thank you. Stay strong.
Amen! I feel every single word you said!!❤🙏❤
Congratulations on your sobriety. Stay strong.
That’s great news! Keep it up, but one day at a time. You do find out who your friends are for sure. But a change in your social life is a requirement to succeed here.
My goodness, just felt like I traveled back in time. This song beyond words , extremely powerful when I grew up. I am 47 years old, born in 1976. The music I had growing up I did actually appreciate it. Why it hurts so much now I feel the way I was raised is gone dead. I feel Far Behind
Same here brother...76. This song hits you in the feels.
Same same
Glad y'all are out there and I'm not the only one.
No one cares how we were raised. But I absolutely love my generation because we can kick your ass by sheer will.
Nailed it bro
Ya! One life to live ! You’ll perhaps come back but you wont remember! Cherish this one
I miss this era. This brings back so many memories.
Hell ya. I miss the 90s
If only we could back
Song rocks solid and makes me sad.
Veronica Martinez yes it does
Your taste in music is as beautiful as you are. Love & light.
I lost my brother at 17, followed by 3 best friends and a second father before I turned 25. My fiance passed when I was 33. I had a terrible bone infection at 35 and colon cancer when I was 38. I've been left far behind many times. This is a good song, but y'all need to stop putting your energy into people you'll never know and start holding on to the ones you have. Get some self confidence and beat the odds. Stay strong for your family and help whoever you can. Just do the right thing daily and sleep well at night. God bless and good luck...it's gonna take all of us to make it.
Sorry for your loss and tragedy...
This is the best post of advice I've read in a long time. And I read often; thank you!
So sorry for all of losses. I had a year like this as well when so many family and friends passed. There were so many funerals that I started to become numb to death, sadly.
Well said. Respect. I hope we can listen to this in heaven
awesome advice..well worth reading
We have to keep trudging on.
I sat down to learn this song this morning in honor of my late friend, Shannon. Tears began to stream down my face and I had to stop. I thought I understood what this song was about, but it was not until today, this very moment, that I think I finally do. Anyone who has ever lost a loved one to substance abuse can feel the pain Candlebox channeled through this song. Shannon was a beautiful, generous, loving soul. Her pain and suffering are now far behind.
So was my little brother. Be at peace my friend
Shannon will live on in your heart. I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend. Yes her suffering is now far behind. In my prayers.
❤so sorry 4 your loss❤
RIP Shannon and bless your heart DarthRue I hope you are doing well.
This song was written by Kevin Martin about one of his best friends, Andrew Wood of Mother Love Bone, who died of a drug overdose.
This song reminds me of more than one person. Including myself.
But I'm still here and been sober some years now.
Love y'all.
This is seriously one of the best songs of all time. You could put this on and turn it up…and nobody would ever yell to turn it down.
I was just cranking this shit and my dad, who doesn't usually like ANYTHING I play, actually complimented the song.
Hell yeah!🎉
Turn that bs down
People who only like rap would. Or maybe our teenage kids lol. I doubt my kids would like this.
@@johnknipe2604😂hahaha
This song was there when my parents divorced at 13 yrs., my first heartbreak at 21 yrs., sharing with my first born at 29 yrs., and when I went through my divorce at 38 yrs. Overcoming hardships and enjoying memories. 💜🎶🎵🎶💜
You'll be fine bro...been there.
Stay strong we all go through the same problem at some point
Same here. Stay strong 💪 I kno it's tough.. real tough.. we all going to be alright. Best wishez. Julie.
💞
Be strong brotha...Im in the same club
Back when songs had real, meaningful lyrics that hit you right in the feels.
ALL sings have meaning... to someone. but some are just more obvious.
Please bring back people the could speak proper english.
True
They didn't even have to try back then. We didn't have to try. It was a golden age for everyone at these times.
You mean Tayler Swift doesn't hit you in the gut.
32 and grew up poor in the most rural part of Australia you can get in a trailer a mile outside of town. Had parents that worked hard to give me everything they didn’t have and one year bought me a radio/cd/tape player that I could only figure out one station to play and it was all grunge and somehow was exactly how I figured out how to process all my little feelings that I otherwise wouldn’t. Best era of music always
It's 2022 and this song STILL FEELS SO NEW
I know... the audio quality is amazing!
Agreed!!
Yes, and I have literally listened to it over a dozen times this year already.
Are you the jeremy that spoke in class today?
I only discovered it 3 days ago, it's new to me. I love it 🇦🇺👍
One of the best songs of all the 90’s god I feel so young when I listen to this it takes me back to a certain time in my life . God I miss those days want to go back when life was care free
remember how cool the music on the radio was? and the snacks? school and super Nintendo
Same! I miss it so much
Who else is up Rn listing to this song Thinking how fast life went by and how much different things are today
I think sh like
Me: this shit ain't normal
World: I mean, have you took a look around?
Everybody screaming at the same time: yes it is !!!
Me: oh. Welp... f all yall too then.
nothing is as it use to be
Facts
sometimes I feel like I’m in the twilight zone!!! if you told me back in high school that life was going to be like this I would have never believe you
Just yesterday I was young... Healthly.. Happy and so full of life. Now I'm tired and have spent my life working just to try to get ahead... Bye..bye to the American Dream..
I am 56 years old and love it. Played it at my son's funeral. He was 26. Been gone 3 years this October.
Sorry for your loss
I'm so sorry 🙏
Sorry for your loss 😢❤
So sorry for you 😢
Wait! Don’t bury him
Loved Candlebox in the 90's. When life was full of so much adventure!
It was wasn't it? How the hell do we get back to that? I feel like I've been lost for forever...
One of the greatest songs, ever written, sung, or performed... in my opinion!
I agree.
Probably 996 on the top 1000
My favorite song still today!
@@CurlyFromTheSwirly lol
🤟🏼 yesssss
Quite possibly my favorite song of all time. Great lyrics which are open to interpretation, amazing vocals, with one of the best guitar solos of all time. Highly underrated album and band.
Open to interpretation? The singer said precisely what this song is about- or precisely, who it is about.
It is about Andy Wood (the same guy that Temple Of The Dog was about)
Yeah his friend died of heroin and he’s sad about it
brush the leaves aside so you can reach out ...
I just wrote about how powerfully the guitar solo affects me. It is literally, truly up there with my favorites by Rush, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin. 💙
@@Ariel_thenotsolittlemermaidI did not know that.
Simply one of the greatest songs of all time.
This song really is incredible....and underrated.
I agree
😌Naw, Sorry guys, where I lived this song had much airplay, It got really close to the number one spot, I agree, 25 years later still sounds good.
Great song
The whole album is underrated
The band is underrated
I remember listening to this at a party out in the boonies in the 90s. Those were the days! This song takes me back to the good ol days 🤘 no regrets
Same here.
When was the good ole days? I mean we, as in humans, keep repeating history over and over again. Wars and wars ober and over again. Seriously throughout history. Over the last 100 years they got a little slick awith their PR game. They tell us we are bombing, invading or over throwing one country's leader in the "name of freedom and democracy" and we gobble it up. We get the "illusion of choice" but its not because they are same. We'll keep listening to songs we love meanwhile children and families keep getting bombed, raped, invaded and killed in another part if the world. The US (we) has done this relentlessly since what world war 1 or 2. Before us it was the Brits, France, Spain, Germen, Portugal, Aztecs, Incas, Mayans, Romans,.Vikings, Jews, Arabs, Egyptians, and like every country/territory in human history. All countries/territories have had a part in it in one way or another. Relentless killing of millions and millions of citizens for what? Yes citizens not leaders, royalty, rich and/or elite, just us poor folk. Just cause you're not homeless or starving doesn't mean you aren't poor. George Carlin said said best,."its a big club and you ain't in it". And he exaggerated a lot with the word "big". Maybe 3% of the global population in the club. Yet we allow them to send us to slaughter and get slaughtered so they can steal and horde more wealth? It makes absolutely zero sense yet we have allowed them to do it over and over the last few thousand years. We work our life's away so the 3% don't have to and they get rich. So again when were these good ole days for 95% of the global population? In conclusion make sure y'all vote next week for your illusiomake sure y'all vote next week for your illusion. Yeah I could have paragraphed it for easier reading. Then again we could have stopped hundreds of millions of needless deaths.
@@helpasmanyaspossible4132 you clearly don’t understand history nor economics
Oh yeah
@George Lincoln Rockwell, same here. BTW, Rockwell is 1 of the greatest humans to ever ever live
Never get tired of this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Same!!
My mom really loves this song. She really does.
1 of my Most Favorites EVER!!!!
Seems lately Im introducing this song to people on a daily basis and all love it... its got a sort of timeless quality about it.
How much
Im 90s. Perfect time to grow up. My ex left me far behind. This was our song....if i only knew.
2021 and still this song finds its way to fit into my life. My God... All the people gone losing their battle with addiction or depression. This song is amazingly preformed and right at the top of my favs.
I'm battling the demons with depression it's rough
@@bigsur175 you should take meds then
So true
My husband's dad dedicated this to him b4. Idk alot about his dads dad. I Just know the s.dad. his real mom &dad passed. He said I would've liked his mom tho. She supported them all at 1 point but they all were on drugs, stealing from her. I dont think they've learned anything. I dont really get the dad but he doesn't necessarily intrigue me enough... even his s.dad has moochy vibes. I just know that he says he wish he wouldve been around more for his son. But truth be told I still hear alot of back & forth between the mom & dad, till this day. Theyre not together. My partnas dad & s.dad are the musician type messes. I suppose that where he gets alot of his old school tastes from. I could go on & on about his background. But everytime I get heated, I know I say sh out of anger & truth prob hurts. But this song always reminded me of my background too tho... So some×s when my husband's gets to the point where he's kept up w/ my antics, & approaches me in a softer way, me only gradually going w/ the flow... still lost between mad & nice is like uh yeah. I do understand how they mistreat u. but u also act alot like them. But it does get on my last nerve, the antics they do. How the f would they treat their own sons, next on the line, the way they do. He is my person. So, some*s I think out of guilt, they over compensate & baby him as a grown man. His growth obviously is not going at some natural speed. & it rages me to the fullest how his male elders still think they're more kaniving than not, pretty much instilling & encouraging those behaviors. In short, I really just think they all need to get laid. By some poor women. Sometimes, I honestly do get weird vibes... he & some others even think they're jealous & it's fn weird. Theres more, but I'll leave that out. So yes, I find it absolutely hilarious at least when I see his s.gpa & gma (not together, moms side) still going at it. That elderly woman is Not having it! As far as the dad, he's like a fn lost cause. Always calling his son to rant about some drama he'll dive right in the middle of just to play victim & better than thee bs. U sir, ur detrimental to ur sons brains. & hearts. U r indeed the fn weakest link. & I h8 it for him/ them but there's only so much I can take.
The 90s were the last best time, and this is one of the 90s best anthems.
Take me back to those days when rock was so damn great you felt it, lived it and rocked it on every drive ❤️
🙂do u still jam to rock still
Omg- yes to all of this! I remember getting in my car, lighting a cigarette (back then) and just FEELING. Damn, I felt on top of the fkng world back in the mid 90s high school
@@eMegMBea yup those memories jamming out
Yup them jams how are u doing so what song do listen to and like..oh hi nice too meet you
Yes absolutely this was the last generation of music to actually still have soul too it
Candlebox has always been one of my favorite bands! Grew up in the 80’/90’s - what an incredible time to grow up! The music was absolutely amazing, so many great bands! Although I love my life now, those were some truly great and special times!
This song was played at my big brother's funeral. He passed at 9 after a car accident 2 years prior. It's always been a part of my life since my mother loved the band so much when I was small.
I'm a lot older now and have watched my younger brother struggle with addiction for over 10 years. As an adult knowing someone you love is struggling like that, it takes on an entirely new meaning compared to what it meant when I was a kid.
My best friend just bought us tickets to see you guys with 3 Doors Down and I'm most excited for Candlebox. I'm sure I'll lose it hearing this song live since it's always meant so much to me.
My lady father loved these 2 bands and he passed last August a day before my birthday. I also bought us some tickets to Rock out for my father in law 🤘 3doorsDown and Candlebox. Perfect concert for her ❤️🥹
Music for me instantly brings me back to various moments in my life. It's both awesome and sad at the same time. There's a Matthew Good Band song (90s Canadian alt rock) that brings me back to when my elementary school friend was killed by a drunk driver. It makes me sad, but at least I spend a moment remembering my friend who died so many years ago.
I struggle with drugs myself. Music always brings me bk to the good times. When I wasn't so screwed up in my head. 😢
@@triciamartin8736 You're worth the effort it takes to get better. You matter, and whatever hurt you're going through is more than valid. I'll be thinking of you and wish you all the best.
Sorry to hear that man prayers for u and ur family brother
I can still remember everything so clearly when this song came out 26yrs ago now. Timeless Classic Candlebox
im still listening to them over and over again till now
What?? Holy shit you're right.. I was 13 dammit I'm old😔🤦
@@mindynoe2900 still younger than me 😝
I was 21, in a foreign land with a rifle in my hand when this came out... Burned up my tape and CD of this, listening over and over...
@@kryptyk3 I'm sorry you had to go through that.. thank you for keeping us safe
This band is a 90s gem
Born 2000 and I can only imagine what a decade the 90s were. This feeling from this music is incomparable. Man and this song gives you a specific feeling don‘t know how to describe. Thanks to Candlebox ✌️ just listened to a live version and i was really surprised how good this track sounds. Sounds like the studio version just incredible
Bro your age and birth doesn't matter. I like Elvis, I wasn't alive then. I like Shakespeare, wasn't alive then. Stop with the qualifying. We are about to enter an age of strength.
@@juanlewisii4754 wasn‘t a qualifying brother. You absolutely right. But sometimes I think how easy these times were without these modern crap. But we have to carry the good old times and culture for our kids. Thank God we not one of these mainstream guys with zero interests in the past
This song having been written about Andrew Wood from Mother Love Bone overdosing and passing away, immediately gave it a huge weight back then.
❤
Imagínate más allá amigo y entenderás
This song could go out to so many great rock stars of the 90s. They were the last of an era. After the nineties music died when everything became auto tune and bad songwriting. If you were around for these times it was a blast. If you weren’t enjoy the music from our days. RIP Andrew, Kurt, Shannon, Layne, Chris and everyone else who showed us their souls.
Amen
I absolutely love this song I’ve been sober for 2 yrs and 5 months
That is good to hear! I've been sober since
mid May. WJH
Keep up with what your doing! What ever it takes! One day at a time!!!!!!!!!!!
@@williamhawkins4737 congratulations
@@kevinboyd8033 absolutely
I listened to this over and over in rehab back in ‘93 after a long battle I’ve been sober since Nov 22nd 2009. This song rocks!!
So proud of you for beating that addiction say a prayer for me
It's 2022 and this is still one of the greatest songs ever. Everything about it is perfect.
Absolutely 🤗
Except the closing of the eyes at the end, & leaving the worldly body behind, for the beginning of the next, while a hurt friend regrets the timing.😶✌🙏🏼⚘💜💙💜
Well, not everything. It's about Andrew Woods's overdose and death. He lost his best friend and wrote this. I'm sure he would've rather had Andrew here
77 baby still love this so much
@@Bubbleslovesfood Shane in eastbound down funeral song after overdose
Lost my son in 2017 to addiction. Miss him so so much. This song reminds me of him . Brings me to tears. LOVE YOU MATTHEW

Sorry about your lost my brother nothing will ever take the pain away you just learn to live with it. Peace and love my guy.
So so sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine losing a child. My heart sincerely breaks for you as a parent. 💛
xoxo big bear hugs
🤭 Such drama this song brings out. LOL
Born in 67, 57yrs old now. Good music is good music. Period.
born in sept of 67
Born in 1960
Turned 64 today
Where has it gone
Yes born 68, the 90's were amazing too❤
Born in 1968 . Awesome song , there will NEVER be music like the 90s again . 😢.. we were fortunate enough to be there to enjoy it
66
April 1994, almost the end of sophomore year in high school...so long ago, so much has happened since then...almost feels like it was all a fading dream.
"Far Behind" and "Cover Me" are my favorites Candlebox songs!
90's. Was an awesome time to be in High School.
Jorge Leon I read that as "90's was an awesome time to be high in school" #applicable
Ese primo
yes it was!
Class of 1992 !!! It was amazing !!! I just have so much nostalgia for this , cause these days will never be again I am 45 years old now , and don't get me wrong I roll with the new times, but these days were amazing! And I can still remember them clearly, so much has changed
And junior High.
Mistakenly stumbled across the opening notes playing my guitar this weekend, and now I know the lyrics. What a powerful song. God bless everyone who's recovering. Stay strong. We got this 🙏
This is the soundtrack of my high school years. Those were the days.
me too
Same I was 13, those years set high the level of my expectations in music. The Great deception come early 2000s
My high school years sucked but the music was great.
Yes it was.
This song will always rock... reminds me of the good ole days....🤘🏻🔥❤️
The 90's were truly the last great generation of music. I'm so very glad my formidable years were spent in the 90's. Good times, good friends and even better music.
Same 💯👏👏👏🧡💚💛❤💙💜
You mean your "formative" years. ;)
"The 90's were truly the last great generation of music." the Boomer is strong with this one.
@Jon H please pay attention in history class so that you know what generation the "Boomers" are and then school yourself chile because most of them proved they do not like our music during 2022 halftime Superbowl Show 🤣🤣🤣 Then find some damn respect and stop calling our elders and elderly generations that disrespectful bullshit.
@@crazydoggylady3303 i know what generation the Boomers are, crackhead.
The sentiment of "this time period was the last great period of music" is one of the quintessential perspectives they're constantly declaring, and it's both completely stupid and depressingly ignorant - as if musical talent literally died on December 31st 1999.
Also, that halftime show was ass,.
