This song is the Anthem of every guy who met the girl he wanted to be with but needed to get some stuff sorted before moving to the next phase of the relationship. I was in the middle of building a house by myself, it took a few years to complete. At that time I was dating my girlfriend who was frustrated we weren't married yet and thought I was stalling. Fast forward, and we are expecting our second kid, having been married now for a few years. Women sometimes can't see and don't have the patience to wait for their lives to unfold. Good men know what they are doing. Just relax.
What a great song, came out in Aug 2000 at the beginning of my 2nd year of sobriety! Memories, but what gets me is Where is good music from the young of today? It has been lost for a while. This is good stuff.
My favorite line from this song: The answers we find are never what we had in mind So we make it up as we go along You don't talk of dreams I won't mention tomorrow We won't make those promises that we can't keep I will never leave you I will not let you down...
Nine days is so underrated and it's criminal because these guys have a whole library of music hidden away from the spotlight after their big debut with this album and single. Love these guys so much and this song as well because I discovered this when I went thorough a rough patch with a girl who would fit this description of this song. This song just screams to my heart and soul now as it did back then, it's a beauty
The sounds of music 20 years ago..real talents ,real voices, real instruments ...i was 19 in 2000 and cant stop listening to this back then..damn..i missed it..still loving it.. from Malaysia.
They came out two years too late. 1998/early 1999 was the prime time for jam bands. And then when 3 Doors Down came on the scene bringing the jam band era back, although Destiny's Child was contending. That involved Train, Nickelback, Hoobastank, Puddle of Mudd, etc. When Hot in Herre in 2003 took over, let's just say that's when the jam bands went away.
i almost always listen to The Madding Crowd album in full. and that's coming from a metalhead. i love Binocular's first album as well. this is a 7-year wait response on your comment. lol
This song has never failed to give me goosebumps (aside from getting teary-eyed) every.single.time. From [mainly] the lyrics and the message, to the melody, beat. augh!
When I was 15 (that was 8 years ago) I thought of the same thing. I guess this kind of the point of this genre. It's supposed to make you feel nostalgic. I bet the teens in 2000s felt the same, even though it was all being made in their time.
Can't believe it ! This song has been released in 2000. This song has 16 years in the moment of my commentary, but still is great one. Songs and bands like this are rare currently.
Bruno Radicheski I love these guys and own everything they've got and even became more serious in music myself because of them. I have a few videos of nine days on my channel you might enjoy!
This band and song are extremely underrated. This song helped me through so much last year. "You should never let the sun set on tomorrow, before the sun rises today". Such an amazing song and band.
My sister left for the military and she told me everytime you miss me just listen to this song and know I'm always there for you.... I listen to it everyday and it just makes me miss her so much.... I love this song... its amazing
I heard this music way back in early 2000s at DXRI FM, now there are a lot of changes, the station was gone and everything's gone as a memory. New stations stood up and I can't hear any of them playing this music anymore ( I mean this new stations are PRO pop ) sad to say but my teenage life was very delightful and I am proud to be a part of 90's kid, who listens to a music like this
this song gives me goosebumps. amazing music, amazing performance, amazing vocals, both John & Brian! it doesnt matter how many years go by, this song is forever.
so you're standing on the ledge it looks like you might fall, so far down, or maybe you, were thinking about jumping but you could have it all, if you learned a little patience, but though i cannot fly, i'm not content to crawl so give me a little credit, have in me a little faith i want to be with you forever, but tomorrow's not too late but it's always too late when you've got nothing, so you say and you should never let the sun set on tomorrow, before the sun rises today if i am, another waste of everything you've dreamed of i will let you down if i am, only here to watch you as you suffer i will let you down so you're walking on the edge, and you wait your turn to fall, but you're so far gone that you don't see the hands upheld to catch you and you could find a fault, in the heart that you've been handed but though you cannot fly, you're not content to crawl and it's always too late when you've got nothing, so you say and you should never let the sun set on tomorrow, before the sun rises... if i am, another waste of everything you've hoped for i will let you down if i am, only here to watch you as you suffer i will let you down so you're standing on the ledge, it looks like you might fall....... if i am, another waste of everything you've dreamed of i will let you down (i will let you down) if i am, only here to watch you as you suffer i will let you down the answers we find, are never what we had in mind so we make it up as we go along we don't talk the dreams, i won't let go tomorrow we won't make those promises that we can't keep....... i will never leave you, i will not let you down (2X)
I can’t forget the moment that I was caught by the sound from the radio 20 years before. In Japan, few people know the band but I still hope to see you in Japan…
Was my very first concert back in the day...and I’ll never forget this band and these songs...it’s so funny how these songs bring you back to a simpler time... the power of music 🎼. #ThankYouNineDays #Awesome
One and only the master piece of nine days band # The Madding Crowd# the whole album was just wow I mean just wow .. memories of 2000 ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
ill just leave it here... "If I Am" So your standing on a ledge, It looks like you might fall. So far down, Or maybe you were thinking about jumping. Now you could have it all, If you learned a little patience! For though I cannot fly, I'm not content to crawl!... So give me a little credit, Have in me a little faith! I want to be with you forever, If tomorrow's not too late!... And it's always too late when you've got nothing So you say!... But you should never let the sun set on tomorrow, Before the sun rises today... IF I AM! Another waste of everything you dreamed of, I will let you down... IF I AM! Only here to watch you as you suffer, I will let you down... So your walking on the edge, And you wait your turn to fall. But you're so far gone, That you don't see the hands upheld to catch you. And you could find the fault, In the heart that you've been handed! For though you cannot fly, You're not content to crawl!... And it's always too late when you've got nothing So you say!... But you should never let the sun set on tomorrow, Before the sun rises... IF I AM! Another waste of everything you hoped for, I will let you down... IF I AM!

IF I AM! Only here to watch you as you suffer, I will let you down... The answers we find, Are never what we had in mind. So we make it up as we go along... You don't talk of dreams I won't mention tomorrow. And we won't make those promises that we can't keep... I will never leave you! I will not let you down! I will never leave you! I will not let you down!
wow... This song is really amazing... I didn't knew he is a teacher now... But this song is indeed is amazing.. Although I don't like songs which are a bit Punk in nature, but this one has just fell right and this is why I am here commenting... It's definitely gonna be in my top 40 Rock songs..
I am truly very happy each of you are live to read my loving comment especially for you. My dear reader, you are worth more than all the money combined... you are worth more than all the rarest gems in the world combined... God bless you immensely always and forever for the rest of enternity
I got a bad grade on his first test, his tests are so hard its not cool, but we all make fun of him and are like hey Mr. Hampson can you tell us the story of a girl. lol and he says right before holidays and the last day of school he will play us some of his songs, so I am excited for that.
"so, you're walking on the edge and you wait your turn to fall but you're so far gone that you don't see the hands upheld up to catch you". If you're having suicide thoughts and hearing this lyrics won't change your mind i don't know what will.
I heard this song on my job i work on a super market local here in Arizona, i heard this song i didn't know signed it so i heard the lyrics and it stuck to my head i was looking all over Google and TH-cam Nine days you have a fan here❤ I love this type of music
I looove this song already, how have i not heard it??? Ive been a fan of absolutely since it came out, but... never checked out the rest of Nine Days songs xD
![Goo Goo Dolls - Here Is Gone [Official Music Video]](/img/n.gif)
This is their best song by far. I know it wasn't as popular as "Absolutely," but this song is incredible
I agree
I actually like 257 weeks a bit more.
I liked almost every song on that album. "Back to Me" might have been my favorite. "Revolve" too.
💯 agree
They're equally popular to me
"The answers we find are never what we had in mind so we make it up as we go along"
Who listeng 2024??? ♥️🇵🇪

Me too
Me, my favorite song back then.
OH HELL YEAH!!!!!

Good men know what they are doing. Just relax.
and sometimes life moves on without you and then comes back around full circle. you end up picking up the pieces all over again.
Duuude i always thought building your own house was soooo cool. I'm gonna do it one day. How did yours turn out?
What a great song, came out in Aug 2000 at the beginning of my 2nd year of sobriety! Memories, but what gets me is Where is good music from the young of today? It has been lost for a while. This is good stuff.
I know they're mostly known for "Absolutely..." but this was always my favorite song by them.
do you Like "Good Friend" or "The Moment" by Nine Days as well? they're my favotites other than If I am
Both songs are amazing. They deserve more
Sameeeeee
Dawson's Creek soundtrack got me hooked on this song. That was a lifetime ago...
Same
Same here. I was dreaming of becoming an actor at that time and playing this song made me think I was kind of the actor of my own life.😆
My favorite line from this song:
The answers we find are never what we had in mind
So we make it up as we go along
You don't talk of dreams
I won't mention tomorrow
We won't make those promises that we can't keep
I will never leave you
I will not let you down...
I miss this music era
same here...
Still miss it
March 15, 2023….still in love with this song..never gets old. The feels
Still in heavy rotation for me today. This is one of those classic songs that could be a huge hit in today's time.
I agree. But you know what ? I prefer this type of music stay in the past and be listened for those who care and like this style of song from 2000s.
“The answers we find, are never what had in mind, so we make it up as we go along …”
Swear I’m gonna get that tattooed on me someday.
Nine days is so underrated and it's criminal because these guys have a whole library of music hidden away from the spotlight after their big debut with this album and single.

Seriously some of the best guitar and keyboard work I've ever heard... Beautiful.
One of the BEST songs from this era, FOR SURE! :)
They said it's not good to live in the past.. But when I hear these kinds of music it makes me want to go back!
I'm a 59 year old woman and I have always loved this band. I wish I would have got to see them live.
so underrated
But that’s what make than special for me. For being underrated.
I feel like if they were around in a different year they would have got the credit they deserved.
Yes it is.
2023 i'm still play this song... from indonesian
This band is too amazing to be a 1 hit wonder...

From [mainly] the lyrics and the message, to the melody, beat. augh!
One hit wonder😢..i miss the 98 till 2k era😅...those were the most amazing days of our teens😅from alternative rock/Punk to new metal nothing compares😊
I miss this kind of music...
Literally have been listening to this since I was in 4th grade in 2001. Never gets old.
Listened to this song on the 90s (teens), now 2024 (40s) how time flies by so Fast...
i'm 15 now, and i wish i live at that generation as a teenager
you missed it.
i did not.
+JaeYun Shin It was pretty good. Wish I could go back sometimes.
I'm 40. You didn't miss anything. Go back another 10 years. Angel missed it, though.
Don't waste on idle wishing, go out there and enjoy your youth.
When I was 15 (that was 8 years ago) I thought of the same thing.

How in the world this song didn’t blow up like Story Of A Girl did.
I’ll never know.
Underrated.
agreed. Good tune.
@@kenrodman7903 agreed ..
i was thinking today that I actually prefer this.
i liked this more than story of a girl.
Wow, this man can sing, am I right !? Pretty cool that a singer is now an English teacher!
This song is so 2000s. I mean seriously, if Dawson’s Creek did not add this song on any episodes, no one will like hear it. 😮😢
One of the best songs ever written!

so you're standing on the ledge
it looks like you might fall,

You should never let the sunset on tomorrow before the sun rises today ❤️
Amazing band! Great song, and wish they would have lasted with more hits.
I miss those days..
Dude's a schoolteacher now, and that's my new favorite genre.
you know it's a good song when it has so little views,
I agree with you.

my guitar teacher was complaining abt being rivals woth these guys during high school and now i am hooked on their songs
Rivals ? Your guitar teacher knew Nine Days before they become a band ?
one of my fave, till today...
Listening to the whole album for the very first time.
Two thumbs up!
One of my favorite songs ever
Nine Days was (and still is I guess) totally underrated. I'll always love this album yo, it was a nice chunk of my jr high/high school days~
I love this song so much. I miss these days... Music wont even be the same
Miss this era of music 🩷🙌🏾
ah memories of young love and promises..only to be let down.
Wrong !!! Read the lyrics fool.
@@danielvillarreal4635 talking of my own experience, fool.
im 33 and i still love this song!
i remember when i use to hang out with this band, i used to be good friends with the drummer, all of them are very cool guys to hang out with,
I first downloaded this song on Napster on my moms computer with a DSL connection. I was so in love with this song.
Aah reminds of chicago in 2000, on a working holiday visa there for the summer from Ireland, time flies bye...
When the lead singer of nine days is your English teacher...
you have him as a teacher?
yes, I do you can see in what he is doing now he is a middle school english teacher but just released a new album
that's awesome! I knew he was a teacher but that's cool! one day, I'm just gonna walk in the classroom door and shake his hand.
I got a bad grade on his first test, his tests are so hard its not cool, but we all make fun of him and are like hey Mr. Hampson can you tell us the story of a girl. lol and he says right before holidays and the last day of school he will play us some of his songs, so I am excited for that.
if you look up Mr. Hampson story of a girl you can see some videos of him in classroom (some are from his old school) playing his songs
"so, you're walking on the edge and you wait your turn to fall but you're so far gone that you don't see the hands upheld up to catch you". If you're having suicide thoughts and hearing this lyrics won't change your mind i don't know what will.
I heard this song on my job i work on a super market local here in Arizona, i heard this song i didn't know signed it so i heard the lyrics and it stuck to my head i was looking all over Google and TH-cam
Nine days you have a fan here❤
I love this type of music
This song has talked me out if suicide more times than I care to mention.
+Liv4Up me too :) stay strong
I pray your still here?:/❤
Glad you're still here.
Reason I think this song is awesome. Those chorus harmonies are just so ear pleasing. This song makes me smile.
The instrumental is incredible as well
In 2000 I was seven and listened to that, and nostalgia beat me today. Still good stuff.
Brasileira ? hahaha essa música é maravilhosa! Escuto ela várias e várias vezes.
where has this song been my whole life
where has this band been my whole life
i still know every lyric and still gives me goosebumps
I miss nine days, one of the best bands ever..
You know that's not true, but still, they were really very good!
I'm 14 and I listened to this when I was 12. It brings back the memories. I love it!
