My favorite band of the late 90's. I wrote them a letter (back then) and 2ish years later I got a letter back that we have been busy but anyone who took the time to write them deserved a personal response. I still have that letter til this day.
Anyone down to start a list of just HOW BAD ASS WE WERE IN THE 90'S????!!!!! BANDS, ALBUMS, SONGS, WHATEVER!!! I'LL START: QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE- "Rated R"" ....WEEZER- "The Blue Album", "Pinkerton",.... BEASTIE BOYS - "Check Your Head", "Ill Communication", CORROSION OF CONFORMITY- "Blind"...... Continue!!!!!!
I love you all. So nice to see people on the same page as me. I have a Rated R tattoo AND a Hum tattoo! Put a big ole smile on my face to see these comments.
My 17 old son was playing this on guitar the other day and it totally made me stop in my tracks with joy. He looks at me and says this album (my original cd) is amazing. Like Looking at my own reflection in the mirror.
This song is flawless. One of the best mixed recordings of the era-everything is loud but no instrument is buried. Warm fuzzy guitar work. Will never stop loving this song
The engineer and mixer of this album is Keith Cleversley. He also worked on the Flaming Lips album Transmissions from the Satellite Heart, which is another fantastic sounding album
This song epitomizes the 90’s. - listening I can taste 1995. The ninety’s were a great time to be young. No internet, no cell phones everyone was just present in the moment and hanging out. - HUM was/is such an underrated band.
So grateful for all the bands like this I may have overlooked as a kid but my older brother turned me onto. Yr right, this makes me feel like I’m out skating with my friends getting into real shit, being creative, innocently disillusioned. What an era.
This song was one of the last things I heard my fiancé sing, the night before he took his own life at the guilt of his developing drug addiction. He swore he was a burden on me. I tried my best to bring him to therapy and get his life together. It was all too much. He passed away the night of October 2nd, 2021. We were together for about 6 years, and to this day I'm convinced he was my soulmate. He was just 20 years old. You will live on forever in this song to me, my love. I wish I could have saved you. I was always there holding daisies, I was always waiting for you. I wish you could have seen that. Now I sit here counting stars, looking for that train you caught without me
Being someone who is familiar with addiction I have some possible insight for you. If nothing else just consider it a different perspective. Him saying that he was a burden on you was probably right. You said that you wish you could have saved him. I'm sure he knew that you felt obligated to "fix" him. I'm sure he knew that nobody could save him too. Unfortunately he didn't know the one and only person who could. That person was him. Most likely he knew that but didn't believe it. I'm not sure, but the main thing is you couldn't have saved him. From reading your comment I can't help but think you feel somewhat responsible and because of that you carry guilt along with the grief of losing him. That's why I wanted to message you and make sure you know you did the best anyone could do. You didn't give up on him or stop loving him. Feel good about yourself. For only great human beings would do that. As much as we wish for something it's out of our hands when that something is based on another's decision. Anyway, I hope you find peace within. And if you already have then that's awesome. Maybe someone else will come across this at the right time and it'll be helpful. Take care
Do you know how he found this song? I just rediscovered it. It was one of my favorite songs before your fiance's time and I'd love to know how he was introduced to it. Maybe from his parent(s)?
1995. On the very first day of summer vacation between my junior and senior years of high school, I rolled out of bed late in the morning. The DJ man on the alternative rock radio station said, "Here's a brand new one from some band called Hum." I thought about how I had nothing to do and no particular place to be. Then I listened to this song all the way through for the first time. It was a good day. A good time to be alive.
I was just watching a video where Ygg Studio was discussing this song, Aka the person who frequently comments on your channel. Then I come back here, and see you have left a comment less than a month ago, What are the odds of that? Lmao.
My husband just heard this song for the first time, were both children of the 90’s and he said “How have I never heard this? I’m going to buy this album. Right now. It’s going in my amazon cart.”
If you like those albums, check out The Egg by Shiner as well! Matt Talbott, the vocalist and guitarist for Hum, plays keyboards on it. Downward Is Heavenward is one of the best records of all time.
I actually wore out my original copy of this cd, not scratched, but wore out. As others have said, Downward is Heavenward is amazing but also their earlier two albums are out there on CD if you look, get those and enjoy.
They are from just outside Chicago so there is a lot of the Smashing Pumpkins comparisons though they are different types of music. The guitar riffs are somewhat comparable to old Deftones but the drumming is really where the comparison is favorable between the two.
Fabian Wadle yeah, the White Pony cover art is a tribute to their cover art from You’d Prefer an Astronaut, so Hum is definitely an influence. At the same time though (referring to an above statement) all 3 bands sound distinctly different and are their own bands.
I miss how the 90s *felt*. I know there are still great bands, still bands that make music similar to this, etc. But something about being alive and young during that time, knowing there were people dreaming up and recording this kind of music and just being aware of it all at the time - oof, it clobbers you right in the emotions.
There's a new band named Narrow Head out from Texas that is clearly inspired by Hum and Deftones. Check out their song named "Moments of Clarity" it slaps
For me my own personal heaven would be living in the mid 90s forever. The music, the people I've lost, the internet.. If I could spend eternity in a bubble of about 1996 I would so overjoyed.
@@radiopadilla lol it's obviously better than creep. That's not very hard, although creep is not a bad song at all like a lot of haters will say. But radiohead are by far one of if not the best band for the last 2 decades
agree with you that he was One of the most underrated drummers in the rock world, actually Hum was a was one with the members. i have some underrated bands on my channel look later. see you buddy
Back in 95 I was a little young for these guys but I appreciate it now. I was big into the early 2000's screamo/emo scene and I can definitely hear some influence with some of those bands.
this vid has received over 100k views in the last few months. with a spike of sudden popularity like this, and with more ppl rediscovering/getting into Hum, this will be the first Hum video to have ever reached 1 million views on Yt ever. Its already the first Hum related vid to have reached over 500k views so i can see a mili happening sometime in the future. rlly cool stuff
I just discovered hum. Im hooked! Funny i find them in this surge your talking about. Me and a couple friends might be trying to do a cover of this song. Im pretty pumped about it.
Saw them at the Main Event in Toledo around 1996. Can confirm. Only show that was louder was Tool at the Sports Arena, who were so loud I had to leave.
For anyone who has just now found this gem of the 90s, you need to look up the youtube video of them on the Howard Stern show. It is actually amazing because Howard is such a huge fan of their music and did everything possible to get a live version of the song played in studio, even having the drummer in the hall way (you will see). Also if you turn the intro up for this song in your car, be prepared.
Baneleaf funny I was looking for that video the other day, but could only find an audio version for it. It’s a shame, there was a vid up of the entire interview and performance that was interesting, Fred was making a big stink about the sound the band wanted for the performance, and Howard kept insisting they had a bit of attitude which didn’t seem to be the case to me at all. It was a little bit of a fiasco for sure, but Howard was only familiar with this song, but kept insisting they’d be huge, which just justifies my own surprise over the years that they were never bigger. It’s impossible to know how certain bands can fall through the cracks.
Hum definitely deserves more than being "one of the bands that inspired Deftones", I've genuinely heard little bands capable of achieving this kind of sound on their records, maybe bands like Failure or even Sunny Day Real Estate at some degree but is just not the same fuzzy, noisy and dreamy yet not totally shoegazy sound Hum manages to produce, i absolutely love this band and it genuinely deserves more recognition
Sunny Day Real Estate was extremely underrated as well. Each album was a new direction, but still true to their original style. They were awesome, and 99.99997% of the humans on this planet have never heard of them.
@ J Chappy What? Another album?!?!?!?!? You better not be fucking with me. *off to check* Edit: You're right. It's true. I thought the chances of this ever happening was pretty much 0%. I'm literally a bit choked up right now.
@J Chappy Agreed. They've been a huge part of my life for the last 22 years. I haven't bought any new music in so long that I'm going to have to figure out how soon. Hopefully it's a cd release as well.
Lucky enough to be in the Omaha area in when this came out. My college roommate was dialed in to the great music of the day. This was when and where Saddle Creek Records, Sokol Hall, and the Ranch Bowl all coexised. Commander Venus, 311, Blue Moon Ghetto, Nine Days Wonder were local. You could hear this song on the radio in the summer of 95.
She thinks she missed the train to Mars, she's out back counting stars She thinks she missed the train to Mars, she's out back counting stars She's not at work, she's not at school She's not in bed, I think I finally broke her I bring her home everything I want, and nothing that she needs I thought she'd be there holding daisies, she always waits for me She thinks she missed the train to Mars, she's out back counting stars I found her out back sitting naked looking up and looking dead A crumpled yellow piece of paper, with seven nines and tens I thought she'd be there holding daisies, she always waits for me She thinks she missed the train to Mars, she's out back counting stars I thought you'd be there holding Daisy, you always wait for me She thinks she missed the train to Mars, she's out back counting stars
@@argpalauanbruh I belive it's relatable to all those subjects. But I think it definitely is a story of suicide and guilt from a partner who thinks he didn't do enough. It is a very strong message and It kinda makes you cope a bit?. That was always just my analysis to it tho.
90s were the best. Mid teens to young adult during those years. Lived alot, learned alot, experienced alot. People who didn't experience those yrs will never know how awesome the 90s were. It didn't matter what type of music was being played back then because every genre of music was so good. Probably the last decade of greatness.
The 90s is perhaps the only time period that multiple generations miss equally. It was our last golden age. It was the renaissance. Art, music, film, television all succeeded in endless ways. Our economy was well. The 90s was heavenly
I just spied your 90's playlist. Nice!! The 90's were definitely both the best and worst decade of my life. The worst bc my brother died when I was 17. (The very worst day of my life.) But the overall decade was by far the best bc I had some of the most awesome times of my life in my teens and early 20's, and the music was phenomenal. And so much changed after the 90's, when ppl became so immersed in new technologies. I miss those days...
I worked with Tim Lash and his brother at Willys Pizza in Champaign 1990. Tim was about 19, I was 21 so I would buy them beer. Most importantly, they played all kinds of great grunge in the kitchen. They introduced me to Soundgarden, Dinosaur Jr, Naked Ray gun, etc. Amazing times!
HUM and DIG. 2 very popular altenrative bands back in the day when they were new. Now forgotten and a cult following. Look up Dig Believe, you might recall them. DIG and HUM... 2 band names that are also hard to discover or find later on. They needed different names.
This song takes me back to 2005 when I was a little kid discovering all the joys music could give. Just found it again 16 years later. It's a good day.
I saw the greatest description of this song and now that me and my wife are separated this song takes a completely new meaning and I fucking love it. “He took for granted that she'd always be there--she was so devoted at one time...loved him, adored him. Hung on his every word: "I thought you'd be there holding daisies, you always wait for me." He treated her carelessly so her love began to waver. She's begun to feel like she wasted all her time loving someone too selfish to truly love her back with all his heart and now she's "missed her train" because she spent all her youth and love on something that broke her. She's thinking about all the stuff she could have done and how time has passed her by. The light has gone from her eyes. She doesn't care anymore: "I found her out back sitting naked looking up and looking dead." But the truth is, he misses her. She's still there with him, but her heart is cold and he realizes that she'll soon leave him. She's counting stars...waiting for her chance to take the next train.”
I was 17 when I first listened to this in about 95, here i am still thinking this song is still as brilliant as the first day I heard it. This song never got the credit it deserved.
Sometimes, at 4am on a Saturday, I think back with a mix of happiness and sadness. happy memories, even the tough times or the low times, thinking back, there's a happiness. people I went to school with who are now dead, or worse. people who's names i can barely remember, only flashes of memories. listening to cassettes in school, then CDs, then minidiscs, then mp3s, college, jobs, families. years go by in a flash now, and the older you get, the more distant those times feel, even though back then they seemed to go on forever. but occasionally, you'll hear a song from back then. it's more than nostalgia, it's a time travelling trip that a part of your soul goes to, just for a moment, and then the moment's gone. You can never hold on to it. and it gets further away each year. there's a pain in that thought.
Actually this video / song had previously been uploaded here by a fan, but the copyright fuzz removed it! Then after it was removed, it reappeared almost instantly - this time through the VEVO people...who were probably the ones who removed it in the first place.
LOL, yeah that was me. Didn't even know they deleted my copy, since TH-cam never sent me notice. Incidentally, about a month or two ago I was trying to figure out why I don't take the time to upload more rare, high-quality music videos to TH-cam so that the community can enjoy them. I guess I got my answer.
THX for postin Dude! It's a great song / video. People really do appreciate other fans (like yourself) who take the time to post / upload the videos...it sucks the copyright fuzz (arseholes!!!) are always on the lookout to ruin it for everyone. Anyway, I often watched it when you had it uploaded.
Was he as big of a soul-sucking, emotionally abusive prick as he makes himself out to be in this song? I mean, the music is beyond stellar, but these lyrics make him out to be a self-absorbed narcissistic prick who left his girlfriend so traumatized he admits that he probably *finally broke her*. ffs Chillingly sociopathic.
I wrote the 'opening line' on the table outside the supermarket I worked for, at that time & when a friend/co-worker heard me play on my college radio show; INSTANTLY called station & 'called me out'!!!!!!!
Saw HUM open for the Jesus Lizard at a club in the basement of a girls dorm at Carleton College in Nortfield, MN November of '93. Probably the best rock experience of my life.
Hum is a great band of wonderful people. Losing a friend and band mate is painful. Rest In Power Bryan. Your musical influence and shared moments lives on in us.
I was a little kid when this came out, was never a favorite of mine but when I watch this it brings me right back to those days of being enthralled by MTV and alternative rock back in the early-mid 90s.
WAAF was the station. The grunge era was so awesome! Gen Xers were the last generation that grew up without the screen in our faces 24/7. I'm basically an old man now and I feel the pain, but still glad to be alive in 2024 even though all my closest friends & family are dead and gone. These old songs bring me back like a time traveler. All my memories, good & bad, I wouldn't trade them
Gen x'ers also love trauma dumping on the internet for no reason and shitting on following generations just as much as boomers. which is funny because they're just as bad as boomers but they're drastically less successful!
its amazing how indie and college radio informed so many of us back then. i remember my first exposure to college radio, it was primus, "my name is mud" and i rarely ever listened to mainstream radio, of my own volition, ever again. when i started doing my own show at university, is when i was hepped to hum.
I won't lie, I kinda owe it to my dad and the game Saints Row 2. Great song, underrated band, and they unfortunately never got the recognition they deserved
This might be my favorite song by any band, ever. The bridge you commented on is why. I call it “The Swirl”. Few bands can achieve it. Hum absolutely nailed it here.
@@Breedlove88yep,that bridge might be my favourite piece of music too. The first bar starts with the basic riff,the second bar overlays that dreamy guitar melody and then culminates in the third bar with the drums intensifying with the crashing cymbals.yeah...i have listened to it a lot.
@@stephenhall2980 Hum songs always have tons of guitar layers, its really cool. You basically hear something new each listen. Ms. Lazarus and I'd Like Your Hair Long have a bunch of hidden guitar parts under the mix, but when you hear them its gorgeous.
I'm late to the party but he'll yeah that lull in the breakdown and then that killer riff surge 🤘 still remember when this song came out lotsa memories from that time
This song brings powerful nostalgic memories and tones ....i love smoking a joint on my roof at night and listening to this song i fall in love over and over ❤❤❤❤
This is what young, dumb love sounds like. So optimistic, full of energy and euphoric highs. And in the end, looking back, you wished it could have been that way forever. Turns out, life had other plans.

Tears instantly 😢

Love that massive 90s guitar tone.
In part that tone is thanks to producer/engineer/mixer Keith Cleversley. He recorded both of my albums and he is a highly underrated studio wizard
Also, what makes it so huge is drop D tuning.
If you love massive 90s guitar tones, you're gonna fucking LOVE Failure

@@sebp400 probs a Rat actually
This song is flawless. One of the best mixed recordings of the era-everything is loud but no instrument is buried. Warm fuzzy guitar work. Will never stop loving this song
Exactly! How can there be so much musician/producer who doesn't see how much quality in mixing or mastering makes all the difference ?!
The second Album is unreal as well.
The engineer and mixer of this album is Keith Cleversley. He also worked on the Flaming Lips album Transmissions from the Satellite Heart, which is another fantastic sounding album
Another Useless Human Not to even mention his work with also under-appreciated Mercury Rev

@Andrew A McGovern MA LPC: 1995 for me was that taste you get in the back of your mouth after dropping good acid.
A little teeny tiny bit of internet was sparking up in ‘95. Mostly just Yahoo!, Excite, Lycos and dancing baby gifs.
In the 90s we had giant brick mobile phones too and beepers lol. Internet was at its primitive stages.

I was '99, not too many Jared's older than me, 1st wave, respect...Every old person at the time calling us Jimmy or Jeremy, lol.

I can't believe that Bryan St. Pere is gone... I still have his drumstick when he played in Lowell back in '98. I'm so heart broken...
Dude, I was at that show. WAAF Big Field Day
It’s now 2024 and I’m here because this was the first song ever played on WCYY here in Maine back on 7/28/1995. Still rocks.
it's too bad CYY sucks now.
people say this sounds like the 90s, but imo this is one of the most timeless styles of rock and roll music. what a great song
Long ago, I worked with a girl from Urbana IL, who claimed that *every* band from there sounded just like this.
My Bloody Valentine, Soundgarden, Hum, Smashing Pumpkins.... 90's had GUITARS
RIP Mr. Bryan St. Pere
Saw them live with Bush and Toadies at the Warfield in San Francisco back in 9/16/1995. Damn, that was one hell of a concert.
Saw them around the same time but No Doubt was also on the tour, so when Gwen met Gavin.
Hey bay area!
That’s a nice lineup!
Toadies were great
Gives me chills
The main guitar riff for this song deserves to be just as iconic as the little dun-dun right before the chorus of Radiohead's "Creep".
It's a much better song than Creep, although I do love the rest of Radiohead's work.
Vatnos let’s not get ahead of ourselves here.
boontown its pretty obvious this song is better than creep, even radiohead admits its one of their worst songs.
@@radiopadilla lol it's obviously better than creep. That's not very hard, although creep is not a bad song at all like a lot of haters will say. But radiohead are by far one of if not the best band for the last 2 decades

agree with you that he was One of the most underrated drummers in the rock world, actually Hum was a was one with the members. i have some underrated bands on my channel look later. see you buddy
Jimmy Chamberlain is! These dudes ripped off the Smashing Pumpkins!
i met him at a show in 2003 and we shared a cigarette. .. cool guy :D
@@beanvillen24no, but if they did, they did it better.
Back in 95 I was a little young for these guys but I appreciate it now. I was big into the early 2000's screamo/emo scene and I can definitely hear some influence with some of those bands.
this vid has received over 100k views in the last few months. with a spike of sudden popularity like this, and with more ppl rediscovering/getting into Hum, this will be the first Hum video to have ever reached 1 million views on Yt ever. Its already the first Hum related vid to have reached over 500k views so i can see a mili happening sometime in the future. rlly cool stuff
I just discovered hum. Im hooked! Funny i find them in this surge your talking about. Me and a couple friends might be trying to do a cover of this song. Im pretty pumped about it.
How the heck am I just now hearing this???
9,000 away
About 85000 was just me
@@mrk-ph8pu its a mil now love
These folks used to give away earplugs to the audience before concerts. Yep they played loud as heck.
I stood front row at Delmar Hall, my fucking body basically disintegrated
AWESOME!! Now that's MY KIND OF CONCERT!!!
I saw them live in Peoria back in 96. It was my first concert, and still probably the best one I've ever seen.
Saw them at the Main Event in Toledo around 1996. Can confirm. Only show that was louder was Tool at the Sports Arena, who were so loud I had to leave.
saw them in dallas , marshalls on one side & orange stacks on the other : LOUD AS F`IN HELL , HA
For anyone who has just now found this gem of the 90s, you need to look up the youtube video of them on the Howard Stern show. It is actually amazing because Howard is such a huge fan of their music and did everything possible to get a live version of the song played in studio, even having the drummer in the hall way (you will see). Also if you turn the intro up for this song in your car, be prepared.
Baneleaf funny I was looking for that video the other day, but could only find an audio version for it. It’s a shame, there was a vid up of the entire interview and performance that was interesting, Fred was making a big stink about the sound the band wanted for the performance, and Howard kept insisting they had a bit of attitude which didn’t seem to be the case to me at all. It was a little bit of a fiasco for sure, but Howard was only familiar with this song, but kept insisting they’d be huge, which just justifies my own surprise over the years that they were never bigger. It’s impossible to know how certain bands can fall through the cracks.
Love that live version in the Howard studio! Everyone's expecting wild rockstars but they were just kids that play great music
Wow ty! I totally 4got about that and totally rember it now! Hellow 52 lol
I bought the album the next day. They did everything the audio engineer told them not to and it sounded brilliant.
Easily one of the best 90s alternative rock songs. RIP to Bryan, I hope his family is doing OK.
Hum definitely deserves more than being "one of the bands that inspired Deftones", I've genuinely heard little bands capable of achieving this kind of sound on their records, maybe bands like Failure or even Sunny Day Real Estate at some degree but is just not the same fuzzy, noisy and dreamy yet not totally shoegazy sound Hum manages to produce, i absolutely love this band and it genuinely deserves more recognition
Sunny Day Real Estate was extremely underrated as well. Each album was a new direction, but still true to their original style. They were awesome, and 99.99997% of the humans on this planet have never heard of them.
That hits hard
This is not nostalgic for me because I never stopped listening.
i connect with this so much
Holy shit me too! I've burned this CD for so many people back in the day!
J Chappy :o I'll have to check into it.
@ J Chappy What? Another album?!?!?!?!? You better not be fucking with me. *off to check*
Edit: You're right. It's true. I thought the chances of this ever happening was pretty much 0%. I'm literally a bit choked up right now.
@J Chappy Agreed. They've been a huge part of my life for the last 22 years. I haven't bought any new music in so long that I'm going to have to figure out how soon. Hopefully it's a cd release as well.
1 million, that's so awesome that they did it. For Bryan, may he rest in peace.
Their riffs are so incredible.
This song makes me want to hug my friend Stefanie. Miss her a bunch.
Lucky enough to be in the Omaha area in when this came out. My college roommate was dialed in to the great music of the day. This was when and where Saddle Creek Records, Sokol Hall, and the Ranch Bowl all coexised. Commander Venus, 311, Blue Moon Ghetto, Nine Days Wonder were local. You could hear this song on the radio in the summer of 95.
She thinks she missed the train to Mars, she's out back counting stars
She thinks she missed the train to Mars, she's out back counting stars
She's not at work, she's not at school
She's not in bed, I think I finally broke her
I bring her home everything I want, and nothing that she needs
I thought she'd be there holding daisies, she always waits for me
She thinks she missed the train to Mars, she's out back counting stars
I found her out back sitting naked looking up and looking dead
A crumpled yellow piece of paper, with seven nines and tens
I thought she'd be there holding daisies, she always waits for me
She thinks she missed the train to Mars, she's out back counting stars
I thought you'd be there holding Daisy, you always wait for me
She thinks she missed the train to Mars, she's out back counting stars
Is this about death? A breakup? Suicide?
@@argpalauanbruh I belive it's relatable to all those subjects. But I think it definitely is a story of suicide and guilt from a partner who thinks he didn't do enough. It is a very strong message and It kinda makes you cope a bit?. That was always just my analysis to it tho.
90s were the best. Mid teens to young adult during those years. Lived alot, learned alot, experienced alot. People who didn't experience those yrs will never know how awesome the 90s were. It didn't matter what type of music was being played back then because every genre of music was so good. Probably the last decade of greatness.
every generation says this
@@wienergrimaceyeah but the 90s was something beautiful
The 90s is perhaps the only time period that multiple generations miss equally. It was our last golden age. It was the renaissance. Art, music, film, television all succeeded in endless ways. Our economy was well. The 90s was heavenly
And then Osama Bin Laden messed it all up
I just spied your 90's playlist. Nice!! The 90's were definitely both the best and worst decade of my life. The worst bc my brother died when I was 17. (The very worst day of my life.) But the overall decade was by far the best bc I had some of the most awesome times of my life in my teens and early 20's, and the music was phenomenal. And so much changed after the 90's, when ppl became so immersed in new technologies. I miss those days...
I worked with Tim Lash and his brother at Willys Pizza in Champaign 1990. Tim was about 19, I was 21 so I would buy them beer. Most importantly, they played all kinds of great grunge in the kitchen. They introduced me to Soundgarden, Dinosaur Jr, Naked Ray gun, etc. Amazing times!
I was living In Joliet when this song dropped(JJC.) Such a great track. Summer of ‘95 will go down as epitomizing life before tech took over.
Cool story. (not being sarcastic)
i was down there too - so much good music in chambana 90-2000. some of the most memorable shows in someone's basement or garage or a church lol
HUM and DIG. 2 very popular altenrative bands back in the day when they were new. Now forgotten and a cult following. Look up Dig Believe, you might recall them. DIG and HUM... 2 band names that are also hard to discover or find later on. They needed different names.
This song takes me back to 2005 when I was a little kid discovering all the joys music could give. Just found it again 16 years later. It's a good day.
It came out a decade before '05! Believe or not
this is what every indie band should strive for: genuine, emotional, killer hook, great guitar work
They used their powers for good AND for awesome.
I saw the greatest description of this song and now that me and my wife are separated this song takes a completely new meaning and I fucking love it.
“He took for granted that she'd always be there--she was so devoted at one time...loved him, adored him. Hung on his every word:
"I thought you'd be there holding daisies, you always wait for me."
He treated her carelessly so her love began to waver. She's begun to feel like she wasted all her time loving someone too selfish to truly love her back with all his heart and now she's "missed her train" because she spent all her youth and love on something that broke her. She's thinking about all the stuff she could have done and how time has passed her by.
The light has gone from her eyes. She doesn't care anymore:
"I found her out back sitting naked looking up and looking dead."
But the truth is, he misses her. She's still there with him, but her heart is cold and he realizes that she'll soon leave him. She's counting stars...waiting for her chance to take the next train.”
That's what i feel when I hear this song also.
Recently heard this again randomly and it applies so well to my life. This comment made me cry even more but it's all so true
Nice interpretation, the riffs are so heavy, and tight, sound production is perfect...
I thought of it as she fell into her own addiction or psychosis
It take two to tango and if u feel what you feel you have a heart so we all make mistakes and alow the past to eff thing up in future 👍
@@willholder3070 or he falls into his own addiction or psychosis. As she gets ready to move on to greener pastures
Saw them live with Bush and The Toadies. One of the best concerts ever!
I was 17 when I first listened to this in about 95, here i am still thinking this song is still as brilliant as the first day I heard it. This song never got the credit it deserved.
Don't know how I've not heard this song before, first piece of music in ages that made me feel something. New favourite song, unbelievable
Never too late! Also listen to “green to me” and “the pod”
@@simplyphenomenal695Green to Me is another masterpiece of a song
Then you aren't looking in the right spots
@@chasetackett5605 I’d say so just slipped under my radar, but now I know so win win
@@simplyphenomenal695 Thanks for the recommendation, gave these a listen just after hearing this song 🙌
Green Zebra, White Pony
I see what you did there 🤘
I’ve heard Knife Prty was inspired by YPAA, so it’s more than a coincidence
Green zebra? Is that a hum album?
@@biggoathorns The album cover has a green background w/ 2 zebras in front, hence the saying.
Just a moment of immortality.
1:01 greatest drum fill in rock history
Sometimes, at 4am on a Saturday, I think back with a mix of happiness and sadness.
happy memories, even the tough times or the low times, thinking back, there's a happiness.
people I went to school with who are now dead, or worse.
people who's names i can barely remember, only flashes of memories.
listening to cassettes in school, then CDs, then minidiscs, then mp3s, college, jobs, families.
years go by in a flash now, and the older you get, the more distant those times feel, even though back then they seemed to go on forever.
but occasionally, you'll hear a song from back then. it's more than nostalgia, it's a time travelling trip that a part of your soul goes to, just for a moment, and then the moment's gone.
You can never hold on to it.
and it gets further away each year.
there's a pain in that thought.
I feel bad for most people that have not experienced this song. GenX pass it onto your children and grand children.
Skipping school in the 90s this song and discovering what a gravity bong is.
Nathan D sounds like good times.
Do kids even know what a gravity bong is nowadays?
Big Bob sure do, nobody has the patience to put one together though.
dingleberry liespewer very true man. gravs are more of a novelty in my opinion.
So relatable
That breakdown riff is a planet killer
Finally, someone uploaded the music video!!
Actually this video / song had previously been uploaded here by a fan, but the copyright fuzz removed it! Then after it was removed, it reappeared almost instantly - this time through the VEVO people...who were probably the ones who removed it in the first place.
LOL, yeah that was me. Didn't even know they deleted my copy, since TH-cam never sent me notice.
Incidentally, about a month or two ago I was trying to figure out why I don't take the time to upload more rare, high-quality music videos to TH-cam so that the community can enjoy them. I guess I got my answer.
THX for postin Dude! It's a great song / video. People really do appreciate other fans (like yourself) who take the time to post / upload the videos...it sucks the copyright fuzz (arseholes!!!) are always on the lookout to ruin it for everyone. Anyway, I often watched it when you had it uploaded.
Well that was short, i guess i better go home... oh shit theres more. Hell yes.
Oh shit i meant to make that its own comment
Hum and Silverchair were way before their time.
Saw them live when I was a teenager at a small club in socal. I was sitting right next to the lead singer. Awesome
What an amazing story!
Was he as big of a soul-sucking, emotionally abusive prick as he makes himself out to be in this song? I mean, the music is beyond stellar, but these lyrics make him out to be a self-absorbed narcissistic prick who left his girlfriend so traumatized he admits that he probably *finally broke her*. ffs Chillingly sociopathic.
3:40 dammit, that riff is so good
agreed
The Pod had a better 1. Agreed though, that shit fucking knocks
fucking legendary
Alexis Maltère isn’t it! 🎧
It's awesome
90’s was so great. Every generation says there music was the best. Ours is the only one that can say that and be right about it.
maxflier the 60s and 70s had some damn good music too.
Thanks to Kurt
I forgot about this band. What an awesome song. Those riffs are massive.
Hum and Failure-
The kings of 90s celestial rock and roll.
I can thank Saints Row 2 for introducing me to awesome bands. This is a Gem ❤
my favourite saints game
Awww, yeah!
Eyyy impractical jokersss!
I wrote the 'opening line' on the table outside the supermarket I worked for, at that time & when a friend/co-worker heard me play on my college radio show; INSTANTLY called station & 'called me out'!!!!!!!
Never thought I would ever see a new Hum album get released after all these years, but it finally happened in 2020
2020 is a shit year but a good year for music
Not a great time to live in but some of the albums that have came out have been pretty great.
@@giselletorres4156 Its a year with nooses in mind, but finding a way to escape them is a good thing
Rediscovered this gem yesterday. Can't listen to it enough. This is a jamming ass song!!!
Saw HUM open for the Jesus Lizard at a club in the basement of a girls dorm at Carleton College in Nortfield, MN November of '93. Probably the best rock experience of my life.
Jesus that is a fucking goooood bill right there.
Holy. I forgot about this song. I probably listened to it on repeat a million times back in the day. Those guitars.
Wish I could go back to the 90s. Such a simple fun time for kids.
It's strange how this song never became a mainstream hit in the 90's.
Shows how good the 90s was
It was a minor/medium sized hit...regular rotation.
Was on regular rotation in Boston, 104.1 WBCN all through 1995/96. Bought it that year with my Christmas money and I've been obsessed ever since.
It was pretty popular.
Hum & Sunny Day Real Estate are easily the most influential phase 2 emo-core bands
Hum is a great band of wonderful people. Losing a friend and band mate is painful. Rest In Power Bryan. Your musical influence and shared moments lives on in us.
I was a little kid when this came out, was never a favorite of mine but when I watch this it brings me right back to those days of being enthralled by MTV and alternative rock back in the early-mid 90s.
It literally inspired Deftones entire tone and shtick from then on out. The influence of this entire record can’t be overstated.
I miss this part of my life so much
90'S ALTERNATIVE music best time to be alive , glad I lived thru it.
This song is absolutely beautiful.
WAAF was the station. The grunge era was so awesome! Gen Xers were the last generation that grew up without the screen in our faces 24/7. I'm basically an old man now and I feel the pain, but still glad to be alive in 2024 even though all my closest friends & family are dead and gone. These old songs bring me back like a time traveler. All my memories, good & bad, I wouldn't trade them
Gen x'ers also love trauma dumping on the internet for no reason and shitting on following generations just as much as boomers. which is funny because they're just as bad as boomers but they're drastically less successful!
Miss listening to WAAF
its amazing how indie and college radio informed so many of us back then. i remember my first exposure to college radio, it was primus, "my name is mud" and i rarely ever listened to mainstream radio, of my own volition, ever again. when i started doing my own show at university, is when i was hepped to hum.
What an absolute masterpiece
I won't lie, I kinda owe it to my dad and the game Saints Row 2. Great song, underrated band, and they unfortunately never got the recognition they deserved
What a fucking masterpiece man holy shit, if I would have only heard this song more when I was a kid in 95 or whatever. Bah..
Pure 90's musical bliss at :55. The calm before the seering hit at 3:41. Perfection! 🤘
What a music video the 90s we're where it's at. Rip mr st.pere. my favorite
This aged very well
For real. I found them 2 years ago at the CC club electronic jukebox and it was amazing
The 90's gave me tinnitus.
What?
@@davidirish5114 Ringing in his ears
What? Just joking.
The joke is that he can't hear you from tinnitus...
Great song and drummer. Love the mix with drums panned dead center and guitars panned hard left right.
Where the hell have i been !!! I grew up in the 90s and never heard them
While trippin in 1995 these guys crossed my life path with this song and I was happy they did
This whole album is classic!! I miss the 90s!
This is one of the most beautiful songs on this planet.
Sounds like a mixture of the smashing pumpkins, Deftones and Helmet
Deftones were actually influenced by them early on mainly by the guitar tone
All of whom borrowed their sound from My Bloody Valentine.
Ron Ronron I never really got that vibe from them lol what songs?
@@ronronron6278 okay no
@@indefexe You can hear it tho
I wouldn't be surprised
My bloody Valentine influenced so many bands
These were the days. Great tracks and albums coming out monthly for years on end. Lucky to get one a year now over the whole musical ether.
R.I.P Bryan St. Pere… i’m absolutely devastated. keeping his family in my prayers.
That massive riff that starts @3:42 .....still one of my favorites to this day.
This might be my favorite song by any band, ever. The bridge you commented on is why. I call it “The Swirl”. Few bands can achieve it. Hum absolutely nailed it here.
@@Breedlove88yep,that bridge might be my favourite piece of music too. The first bar starts with the basic riff,the second bar overlays that dreamy guitar melody and then culminates in the third bar with the drums intensifying with the crashing cymbals.yeah...i have listened to it a lot.
@@stephenhall2980 Hum songs always have tons of guitar layers, its really cool. You basically hear something new each listen. Ms. Lazarus and I'd Like Your Hair Long have a bunch of hidden guitar parts under the mix, but when you hear them its gorgeous.
I'm late to the party but he'll yeah that lull in the breakdown and then that killer riff surge 🤘 still remember when this song came out lotsa memories from that time
Эта песня должна нравиться всем! Даже суровым, сибирским трапам!
Absolutely fukn SICK...that's a rock song kids!! Listen and learn
This song brings powerful nostalgic memories and tones ....i love smoking a joint on my roof at night and listening to this song i fall in love over and over ❤❤❤❤
This is what young, dumb love sounds like. So optimistic, full of energy and euphoric highs. And in the end, looking back, you wished it could have been that way forever. Turns out, life had other plans.
I forgot about this song. Glad to be reminded! Now go listen to Mayonaise from Smashing Pumkins.
