One day you are a teen listening to this song on the radio; the next day, you are in your 40s listening to this song on youtube. There was nothing like the 90s
I think i cried when I was only 8 years old and I was comprehending every word of this song...! I broke into tears in the car because of the lyrics and the way this song ended with the drumming like it was all about a war of street fights.😢
This song legit saved my life. I was kid and homeless due to my mom being an addict. I had no hope. I ended up working two jobs had my own apartment by 15, I mentioned to a boss of mine I wish I had a guitar so I could learn this song and he gifted me one….fuck it feels like 20 years ago. I still have and play it. I live in Hawaii now, work a job making 6 figures, I’m surrounded by friends and my wife and kids. I’m so glad this song was made, I never would be where I am today.
I'd be honored if some fans of mid/late 90s classics would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of LONG DECEMBER by the Counting Crows, NAME by the GooGoo Dolls, and "1979" by the Smashing Pumpkins in tribute to 3 great standards of the era. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace out and stay safe in the '020s.
do something thing then, i nver met my father, and i know i never will, mabye, even tho i could, i know im litterally my own self/man cause he wasnt their to teach me his ignorant ways, and destructive humanity, im loyal cause he wasnt
My lil Brother Jeremy died of an "accidental" overdose on December 20th 2019 . He was so broken I'm not so sure of what actually happened. I just miss him...I loved him with all my heart. I could have just talked to him maybe he'd still be here. I'm so fucking reclusive it can be hard to reach me. He tried...but I just didn't want to be bothered. I should have picked up the phone. If you love someone please be there for them because you never know if they are actually ready to do the untimely deed...I miss you J.
I'm a suicide survivor myself, know that sometimes the darkness gets the best of people... the pain can be a lot, we never know what they went through/go through.. just what we saw... Don't blame yourself or think you were never enough to keep him here. He's always with you, you just can't see him there... As time goes on, you'll learn more from it but I love that you are trying to help others, you're already on track for it. Stay strong and know my heart goes out to you.
Dads gonna die from drug use soon but yet refuses to stop using. I guess this is my go to song on a loop right now. "I wish that you step back from that ledge my friend." The edge being the fet for him this case ...
This song brings a tear to my eyes every time I hear it now. Back in 2022 I lost two friends suicide, and one jumped from a bridge. Life isn’t always easy I myself arrived home from work early just this Thursday to find my wife hiding a guy in the closet. So I have a rough road ahead of me, but I will do what I must to keep my head up. This pain I’m going through is temporary. So if you’re going through something, know you aren’t alone.
That's shitty man! Don't let one person's evil destroy you brother! This world sucks csuse it's filled to the brim with evil. Just try to be strong and reach out to God to help you. He's the one that isn't gonna do anything evil to you and you can count on that.
I remember when I was 15 yrs old listening to Jumper w/ tears in my eyes, alone on New Year's Eve. I had really bad depression. I'm 35 and still suffering, but still hanging on.
It's 1997, the sun is shining, you just heard this on the radio last night and managed to tape the whole thing with your combo boombox the second time the station DJ played it on the hour. Now you can share with your best friend at recess on your Sony Walkman...you decide to both bike over after school to the local music shop and split the cost of the CD Single. Not one photo was taken. Not one Tiktok dance performed. The day sits more vivid in your mind than any in recent memory. No social media documentation necessary.
it's 1997, i just bounced out of graduate school after devoting two years of hs, four and a half of college, and four of graduate school to "better my life". i'm waiting tables (again) and alone most nights. nothing but a small stereo and a pair of headphones. i could afford the CD, but I remember that dark night after I bought this CD. I wouldn't have a crystal clear memory of buying another CD until I bought "How to Save a Life" in 2006. Life was, as you say, much more vivid (in many ways) before TW/TT/IG/FB/LI/etc...
18 is an old age for a dog. I would imagine she was experiencing some health problems. Putting a pet down in order to prevent or end their suffering is an act of love. I know how difficult it is, but you cannot be selfish when it comes to making these decisions. You did right by her! ❤️ sending a prayer!
Sorry for your loss. I hope you are living your life the way you want Jenna.. smiling, laughing, discovering, loving and daring to do things that scare you.
I gotta say, as a 27 year old (in 1997) this song just flew right by me. I was "Yeah, catchy song", never thought any more about it. However, rediscovering it at age 52, it hits me so much harder having lost people and very nearly lost someone of particular importance to me, this way. Deep message there, in the music.
Amen. We all have that "ledge," be it at the top a building or an argument. There's something in us that says- STOP HERE. We choose to listen to that voice. Or not. The- not listening, usually ends in irreparable damage. 😢
aww, I hope you were able to live your life for him and find love and happiness, you deserve happiness too and I'm sure he would love to see you happy as well 😊💗
Beat my years long opiate fentanyl addiction. Came back to this song so many times over those years. Glad I’m still here, life is so much better on the other side. Always hang on, Always. Love and respect to everyone of you.
With my near death experience from a suicide attempt, I have a deep appreciation for this song and thank God for it. I listen to it when I get thoughts of hurting myself. Thank you, Third Eye Blind, for making this song. I know it's all gonna be ok.
3EB has no idea the impact they've made on my life. I just turned 40 and these songs still bring me to tears. They truly have no idea how many lives they impacted. They DO NOT get the credit they deserve. Thank you 3EB. You've literally saved my life, numerous times.
As someone who has struggled with manic depression for several years & harmed themselves by bashing their fists & head into a wall many times to the point of passing out, I can tell you this song has lifted my spirits repeatedly since it came out when I was a teenager. And having served in the Armed Forces since 2008 & deployed 3 times, it gets more difficult each passing year. But, I persevere... If I can keep taking it one day at a time, so can you all. Providence & harmony to you all!
I hit myself in the head too during break downs. Look into a service animal. I have one and she jumps up and knocks my arms away when I put them up to my head.
You're amazing my friend. I can't even imagine what strength it takes to live through your experience. Please use that strength to positive effect so you can help others going through what you've been through. You're already a hero. You got this brother!
@@siliconiusantogramaphantis2122 hes no hero hes just a brave victim of the military ind complex. i wont thank anyone for there service besides lockdownprotesters and truckers. wens the last time the army fought foe our freedom? 1943? more like 1776
I permanently can only picture Jim Carrey when I hear this song lmao Edit: Love y'all! I hope you guys have a bright future and remain with the same smiles jim brought all of us 😎😎
It's hard listening to music like this after someone close to you takes their own life. It triggers something so deep in you. I lost my girlfriend and she lost herself to depression. To anyone out there going through a rough time. There are so many people that understand what's going on or will try to help you through it. We all care. Everyone is everything to someone.
I know how you feel man. I lost my bestfriend last year to depression and drug addiction. He told me he thought about suicide but I didn’t take him serious because I had said the exact same thing too to him around the same time. I don’t know if he commuted suicide but I wish someone would have warned me he was back on heroin. It breaks my hearts still. Sorry about your girl man. I broke up with my ex a few years ago but we dated for like 8 years. I would be crushed still if anything happened.
My boyfriend left me after I tried to commit suicide I was struggling with depression for so long no one noticed I needed help bad. I couldn’t take it anymore, I also cut my arm after an anxiety attack, I know God is keeping here for a reason. I still have my ups and downs sometimes I feel I can’t do it alone it hurts so much I was left alone when I needed him the most. I’m so sorry about your girlfriend, I do understand getting lost in depression, anxiety, your thoughts of not being good enough.
Keeping hold it’s tough everyday I feel crazy like I don’t matter idk what’s going happen to me but another thing tells me just let it be a face it just don’t lose yourself
Somehow this song makes feel nostalgic for a time when I wasn't even alive. Homesick for a place I'm not sure exists. Longing to be with people that I've never met and will probably never meet. It's like I don't want the song to end because it makes me feel like I'm experiencing a life that I always longed for, but at the same time I have a hard time listening because I know I'll never experience that life. I hope I find people that fill this void in me someday. All in all, pretty solid song.
I'm so sorry. Please take care of yourself and surround yourselves with those you love, it won't take away the pain but it's easier to cope. RIP to your boy
I have an addiction and I heard this song for the first time yesterday in the car. I'm suicidal so that first line caught me. And when he says he would understand if he got cut out of that person's life, I got that too. All the things that I couple in with my addiction, the people, the activities. I will leave it all behind. I want to completely sever all ties. I want a new life.
pls dont waste too much time and pain on drugs pleasee... learn about the third Eye, lucid dreaming, astral projection, may it help you, especially meditation, live life by the fullest please my everything i love you 💜 you are so much worth 🌌🦄🌅✨
@@nyzer1620 Thank you for your advice, and I'm glad to say that since I wrote that comment I have been a little over 1 month clean. I decided to try and fix my relationship with God and become closer to him. I'm doing better now. I'm not at 100% but doing better because of him. Thank you.
I am in your EXACT situation. Tomorrow is new years eve.. i will say my final goodbyes... not suicide.. be born again. Its gonna suck.. these are the people that i get high with and do things with... but i am sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Hey man, I don’t know you but I want you to know that I want you here so SO badly. It will SUCK at times but you’ll be so happy you stayed. Not forcing anything but my best advice is finding Jesus. He loves you, and regardless of what you believe, I love you. Please stay safe man I love you
In the 90's when this song came out I was 19 and full of hope for the future. I had dreams for my life that I couldn't imagine not coming to fruition. I was young and ill prepared for what was to come instead. From abusive relationships to being sexually assaulted to being homeless and a lot in between. None of it good. I have an apartment now and not much else. Some people have nice relatively easy privileged lives. Other people, like me, suffer on a regular basis despite desperately wanting happiness. I'm extremely proud of myself that I survived a torrential storm of trauma throughout my life. And I'm still standing despite all the many obstacles trying to knock me down. My expectations are very low. Life is a lot easier that way.
Sounds a bit like me, when I was younger. I had so much hope for myself until everything went wrong and I had a hard time recovering in ways I didn’t expect.
I can't even imagine how many lives this work of art has saved, so real before that was normal. It hits hard, as someone who was considering suicide years ago. This song helped me more than I even realized 💕
A lot of 90’s songs were heavier than we realized at such a young age, unless you had experienced loss/trauma yourself. I mean look at Papa Roach - their whole album “infest” is full of heavy imagery - I just thought it sounded cool!
Was just thinking the same thing about this song. We’ll never know the real numbers, but I am certain it has helped prevent many tragedies. It’s a powerful combination of compassion, strength and hope packaged into an unforgettable pop melody.
@@89ksokd91 I understand how that feels. Lived more than half my life with recurring major depression and anxiety disorders. They run in my family… bad mental health genetics. Anyway, I don’t know you in person, but I care about you. I understand and empathize with the bizarre, pervasive pains our brains can create that seem to exist without any real cause or reason. I’m in it for the long haul though, not going anywhere, and I know you can be too. Hang in there, friend. Never forget the people who love you, and who would be so hurt forever if you weren’t here anymore.
@@89ksokd91 I’m so sorry to hear what you’ve endured, and the loneliness and isolation that surely has come along with it too. I also understand exactly what you mean when you say you no longer look to a future. It’s just living each day so that you can keep living each day. I know it’s really tough… and I really feel for you. Please don’t give up. I know it’s impossible to believe when you’re going through what you are now, but there really is hope for not having to feel this way forever. I know they don’t work for everyone, but for me, the right antidepressant was like a switch turning on throughout my whole body. The difference without doing anything else, living in the same circumstances, was enormous. I was able to feel the warmth of pleasure again-something I hadn’t felt in years. There are other treatments that have really helped people I know: ketamine is one; the other is TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation). That second one sounds weird, but it’s actually an FDA-cleared treatment for major depression that is basically like a targeted MRI to stimulate mood-regulating parts of the brain. It’s safe and doesn’t have any significant side effects. I know a person who had a similar background to what you describe, who was in her 50s and lived her whole life with the mental consequences of that horrific trauma… she has been a whole new person for a year after going through just 6 weeks of TMS and ketamine treatments. If you have a therapist or psych doctor, you may want to bring these up with them. TMS is even covered by insurance and is becoming widely available - it might be something to give some hope again. Sending all the warmest wishes your way-I really do care, and I hope for you to be able to feel the joy that others take for granted. Hugs to you ❤️
to all who've suffered this deep pain and sadness they called depression and are still here to read communicate and talk about it. Bless you I wish you the very best and made peace and prosperity be in your future💙☘💯😎🙌"we" got this
@user-lv6rs6js3q I don't think YT allows links. You'll need to research it yourself using Wikipedia. If you don't care to research yourself, then I can't help you. However, it is a banned song and Clear Channel has refused to play it. Call your local radio station and ask. I'm sure they will tell you "no."
This song is timeless....I remember this song getting me through some rather dark times....I'm happy to have made it on the other side....thank you for saving me when I didn't wish to save myself.
@@allsmiles2160 Thank you for this! This song helped me through so much....depression, sui attempts, you name it. One year, I lost 8 people that meant the world to me and I wanted to join them...i was cutting my wrists when this song came on....i cried and screamed for an end....but that night....i constantly listened to that song...it saved me....thank you for that song.... Eternally.
"thank you for saving me when I didn't wish to save myself" That's deep and made me tear up; along with the comments. I've lost my best friend and a friend of 25 years. I'm very happy for each one of us that makes it.
There will probably never be another post-grunge, hip-pop laced, guitar riffed, explosive sound like 3EB, ever again. Thanks Stephen and Kevin and the boys for the soundtrack to my 90s.
RIP Cody Hooks Feb 20, 1992 - Oct 17, 2013 (Age 21). Now you know how it feels to be Airborne. Acknowledging those who served in the Armed Forces and battled severe depression.
I'd be honored if some 90s fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of NEVER LET YOU GO by Third Eye Blind and NAME by the GooGoo Dolls in tribute to 2 of the greatest 90s bands. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace and stay safe in the '020s.
I always liked Third Eye Blind. This song in particular is a keeper. I was 17 in 1997, a junior in high school. I’m going to be 42 in June. There are certain songs that make up the soundtrack of your youth. This is one of them for me. What I’d give for a time machine! 🙌🏻
ditto...about to turn 44...TOOL was my thing then...but this was on the radio...so we bumped it loud and proud...like everything else.........and now we all need hearing aids. Guess we had tooooo much fun.
Lost my grandmother in my senior year in high school (I’m now 19 and a freshman in college) and the grief afterwards sent me into a full downward spiral and I ended up sitting on the roof of my house contemplating my life. I called an ambulance so I could get help and just as I was coming off the house the police came at the right time. Driving to the hospital in the cop car, I asked to listen to the radio and the last minute of this song came on when it turned on. Weird timing, but listening to it made me realize I made the right decision to get help and keep on with life.
@I Am Who I Am Depends how you land and how many floors the house is. You very well might survive. I have heard stories of people falling from less and hitting the back of their heads and dying.
I was 16 and saw these guys at Rockfest in ‘97 at Texas Motor Speedway. 400,000 ppl. Changed my life forever growing up sheltered in suburbia. Third eye blind, matchbox 20, counting crows, the wallflower, bush, no doubt, the nixons, collective soul, jewel, sugar Ray.
A time machine that really works...rich people have great time machines. I got a used one cheap. It only took me back to 1972 and I saw alot of people with bad haircuts and cheap suits.
Eli Mark Borinaga Totally played this on CD back in '97 until it was too scratched up even after fixing it with SkipDr. We had great music! now I feel old too lol
When this song came out I was a teen and I did not like this song. But now as a heartbroken man close to 40 it hits differently. I’m crying rn I feel a breakthrough and I will beat my internal demons. Even w all the bs happening right now. Wish me strength!!!!
Crazy man. Who else was in their prime when this was a joint? 40 now, it goes by so fast. Take me back to young college age girls into me, beginning of the internet, great times
I don't think I completely appreciated this group when I was in my 20s. Fast forward to now at 52, I can understand what this song was really about. Honestly, this song is pure genius lyrically and musically. ThirdEyeBlind I see you now!
I actually thought it was from the Goo Goo Dolls and I've always searched for it under their name. Today, however, I felt really depressed and I was actually contemplating the act and decided to take a trip down memory lane... I've found it and I feel both happy and sad.
Track is about reaching out to a friend in need who is struggling with negative feelings and giving them comfort and understanding. The lyrics suggest there is someone who is feeling overwhelmed and running away from difficult emotions and experiences. The narrator of the song is encouraging the person to step back, cut ties with lies and take control of the situation to find a way out. He also acknowledges that, if the person chooses to do this alone, he would understand, and will still be there if they need him. The message of the song is to reach out to someone in need and offer them genuine support and compassion.
This melody which starts at 2:35 on the guitar is beautiful and eternal... it reminds me of my parents who passed away and the memories my childhood, my country, heaven and doves in flight.
Emotional pain is like heavy debt. It doesn't just dissappear when you die, it's passed on. You aren't erasing the pain, you're giving it to the ones you love. Stay strong friends.
@@blackdragon737 im sorry to hear that... been 3 years without mom, 2 and a half since my partner of 15 years died... sometimes I feel like I'm on my own, too... that's true. sometimes I feel like a failure... I mean, I tried so hard to save her but... as long as we're alive we have HOPE for a better tomorrow...
Album was a complete masterpiece. I didn't realize its depth until years later but was fortunate enough to know I had found a gem when I first experienced it.
This song has always meant a lot to me. I think this came out when I was a teenager, and I had pretty gnarly depression that was undiagnosed and then finally diagnosed but I still didn't have the help I needed. Like everyone I suppose, stuff happened to me too around that time that wasn't good. The lyrics and the song made me feel like I wasn't alone- like everyone has to find a way to let certain things go, and that there is a way out of all of it. Things are much better 15 or whatever years later, but sometimes I find my depression and crappy things that happened then starting to catch up to me for a moment, and I like to listen to this song. The song is right- you can put the past away. Every once in a while it may come back (via remembering traumatic things or resurfacing depression) but it can just be a brief throwback for a short amount of time, and then you get back to who you are. That's why this song is so great- everyone has a reason and should endeavor to put their crappy past away. Then life has so much promise and one can enjoy the beauty.
Same experience a few times, but got real bad in the past 4 years, post divorse I need and will like I have before, and lost people, so this song measn a lot to me. I knew the lyrics, but It got real hearing again .
When you're young, everything seems magnified. Back in H.S., I heard a few guys were talking desperate shit and I called them to me. Not saying I'm special in any way, but I did have a gift of seeing/knowing people from early-on. I KNOW two of (3...the other died from an unrelated incident much later) them, went on to become reasonably successful in life. If you're deeply-troubled (or know someone that is), just KNOW that this will pass and time will help cauterize wounds. We are NOT what has happened...we are free to become what we want to BE. Nobody can take THAT away.
@@amygaddis2453 it is true that's difficult, but only those not responsible for recurring pain can be of help. You can't save everyone, but U can try n make them feel wanted/understood/(potentially) valuable.
This is a great song. My brother really enjoyed this band. I never really payed that close attention to them. However back in 2018 he committed suicide. So now a lot of songs like this one have a lot more meaning. I miss him a lot. There have been many times in my life I have felt suicidal even before my brother killed himself. The thing that keeps me from doing anything is realizing it is a long term solution to a short term problem. You just have to push through stuff! There is always another way!
I emphasize with you… been feeling that way for a while now but the same reason I feel to do it is also 1 cause for me not doing it. Still I have thoughts of out by some kind of accident. God is good

I live in Hawaii now, work a job making 6 figures, I’m surrounded by friends and my wife and kids.

Glad to read you made it, I really am.

Glad everything worked out and you’re still here with us!

My lil Brother Jeremy died of an "accidental" overdose on December 20th 2019 . He was so broken I'm not so sure of what actually happened. I just miss him...I loved him with all my heart. I could have just talked to him maybe he'd still be here. I'm so fucking reclusive it can be hard to reach me. He tried...but I just didn't want to be bothered. I should have picked up the phone.

This helped me

I'm a suicide survivor myself, know that sometimes the darkness gets the best of people... the pain can be a lot, we never know what they went through/go through.. just what we saw... Don't blame yourself or think you were never enough to keep him here. He's always with you, you just can't see him there... As time goes on, you'll learn more from it but I love that you are trying to help others, you're already on track for it. Stay strong and know my heart goes out to you.

Not enough
I know of at least one.
None

It's safe to say that this song has aged extremely well.

It’s actually one of many that I never get tired of 🤘🏻
i agree
The song has but the video hasn't lol
Masterpiece
It is timeless.
Dads gonna die from drug use soon but yet refuses to stop using. I guess this is my go to song on a loop right now. "I wish that you step back from that ledge my friend." The edge being the fet for him this case ...
This song brings a tear to my eyes every time I hear it now. Back in 2022 I lost two friends suicide, and one jumped from a bridge. Life isn’t always easy I myself arrived home from work early just this Thursday to find my wife hiding a guy in the closet. So I have a rough road ahead of me, but I will do what I must to keep my head up. This pain I’m going through is temporary. So if you’re going through something, know you aren’t alone.
That’s rough man. Just remember that one day you’ll wake up and emotions will be memories. All the best!
Time heals all wounds if you can give it a chance to
You are not alone: Your heart will heal, I promise. Cut those ties like the song says, no need that sh… in your life.
How about you bring us ALL DOWN...why post crap like this.
That's shitty man! Don't let one person's evil destroy you brother! This world sucks csuse it's filled to the brim with evil. Just try to be strong and reach out to God to help you. He's the one that isn't gonna do anything evil to you and you can count on that.
I remember when I was 15 yrs old listening to Jumper w/ tears in my eyes, alone on New Year's Eve. I had really bad depression. I'm 35 and still suffering, but still hanging on.

im with you man, lets keep fighting it together
💗
The world's a better place for your hanging on. You're setting a great example. Well done.
Mustve been awhile after it came out.
It's 1997, the sun is shining, you just heard this on the radio last night and managed to tape the whole thing with your combo boombox the second time the station DJ played it on the hour. Now you can share with your best friend at recess on your Sony Walkman...you decide to both bike over after school to the local music shop and split the cost of the CD Single.
Not one photo was taken. Not one Tiktok dance performed. The day sits more vivid in your mind than any in recent memory. No social media documentation necessary.
Great comment.
it's 1997, i just bounced out of graduate school after devoting two years of hs, four and a half of college, and four of graduate school to "better my life". i'm waiting tables (again) and alone most nights. nothing but a small stereo and a pair of headphones. i could afford the CD, but I remember that dark night after I bought this CD. I wouldn't have a crystal clear memory of buying another CD until I bought "How to Save a Life" in 2006. Life was, as you say, much more vivid (in many ways) before TW/TT/IG/FB/LI/etc...
Dude …
I really did that... But I recorded Semi-Charmed Life. It was such a fresh song.
It's 1997 and I'm not even a sperm in my dads nutsack yet
This is the purest comment section I've ever read. I love all of you.
You too
Love you too!
I thought of breaking this rule just for fun and the universe stopped me...
Love you back, random internetter!

Just had to put down my golden retriever 18 years old today.
I wish I could join her.
Horrible pain.
Please send a prayer for us.
I was there with my kitty this time a year ago. Your dog will always be in your heart and you will meet again someday. ❤
18 is an old age for a dog. I would imagine she was experiencing some health problems. Putting a pet down in order to prevent or end their suffering is an act of love. I know how difficult it is, but you cannot be selfish when it comes to making these decisions. You did right by her! ❤️ sending a prayer!

@Mr.Positive Reviewer lol oof

Sorry for your loss. I hope you are living your life the way you want Jenna.. smiling, laughing, discovering, loving and daring to do things that scare you.
I’m so sorry to hear that! Praying for you!
I gotta say, as a 27 year old (in 1997) this song just flew right by me. I was "Yeah, catchy song", never thought any more about it. However, rediscovering it at age 52, it hits me so much harder having lost people and very nearly lost someone of particular importance to me, this way. Deep message there, in the music.
We are the same! I thought it was just pop music when it came out, but now it seems to have taken on a feeling of poignancy and nostalgia.
Ironically, the song says "Put the past away." It's like nostalgia and moving on at the same time!
eres amado ❤❤
Amen. We all have that "ledge," be it at the top a building or an argument. There's something in us that says- STOP HERE. We choose to listen to that voice. Or not. The- not listening, usually ends in irreparable damage. 😢
Exact same age, exact same feeling. Be well.🙏

It took netflix this long to get licensing for yes man? Did they have to use 2 vcrs to copy the vhs?

3EB has no idea the impact they've made on my life. I just turned 40 and these songs still bring me to tears. They truly have no idea how many lives they impacted. They DO NOT get the credit they deserve. Thank you 3EB. You've literally saved my life, numerous times.
They know! He spoke on it when I saw him earlier this week. It was really emotional for everyone. ❤️❤️
This comment completely sums up why I love music so much. The amount of lives that music has saved is simply incredible
I’m turning 41 soon. And I’m so glad to see other people understand how I feel about the 90’s.

My son is 7, bet yourself we are doing our best to not let you down 💜 this songs shouldn’t ever die.
As someone who has struggled with manic depression for several years & harmed themselves by bashing their fists & head into a wall many times to the point of passing out, I can tell you this song has lifted my spirits repeatedly since it came out when I was a teenager. And having served in the Armed Forces since 2008 & deployed 3 times, it gets more difficult each passing year.
But, I persevere... If I can keep taking it one day at a time, so can you all. Providence & harmony to you all!
I hit myself in the head too during break downs. Look into a service animal. I have one and she jumps up and knocks my arms away when I put them up to my head.
You're amazing my friend. I can't even imagine what strength it takes to live through your experience. Please use that strength to positive effect so you can help others going through what you've been through. You're already a hero. You got this brother!
Thanks for continuing to take it one day at a time! And for sharing and giving words of encouragement! Peace and blessings to you!

A powerful song addressing Self harm and suicide.... Beautiful.
Agree we need more songs and bands like this 🤘🏼🎸🥁
I guess? Your interpretation.
I still wish to die why does nobody love me.
Whoever decided to leave the feedback in the track (at 3:33) is a genius.
Agreed!
It's hard listening to music like this after someone close to you takes their own life. It triggers something so deep in you. I lost my girlfriend and she lost herself to depression. To anyone out there going through a rough time. There are so many people that understand what's going on or will try to help you through it. We all care. Everyone is everything to someone.
I know how you feel man. I lost my bestfriend last year to depression and drug addiction. He told me he thought about suicide but I didn’t take him serious because I had said the exact same thing too to him around the same time. I don’t know if he commuted suicide but I wish someone would have warned me he was back on heroin. It breaks my hearts still. Sorry about your girl man. I broke up with my ex a few years ago but we dated for like 8 years. I would be crushed still if anything happened.
❤️❤️ blessings to you my friend
🫂🫂 wish I could hug you. 💛💛
My boyfriend left me after I tried to commit suicide I was struggling with depression for so long no one noticed I needed help bad. I couldn’t take it anymore, I also cut my arm after an anxiety attack, I know God is keeping here for a reason. I still have my ups and downs sometimes I feel I can’t do it alone it hurts so much I was left alone when I needed him the most. I’m so sorry about your girlfriend, I do understand getting lost in depression, anxiety, your thoughts of not being good enough.
Keeping hold it’s tough everyday I feel crazy like I don’t matter idk what’s going happen to me but another thing tells me just let it be a face it just don’t lose yourself
My wife woke up this morning randomly singing this song and I immediately shouted out jumper by third eye blind. Man I love the 90s
She probably watched “yes man” but this song is one of those that everyone should know and recognize
So awsome
so does tony hinchliffe watch KILL TONY live mondays on youtube; this is his fave song
A C, your wife is officially a legend.
Woke up singing this randomly too …
Somehow this song makes feel nostalgic for a time when I wasn't even alive. Homesick for a place I'm not sure exists. Longing to be with people that I've never met and will probably never meet. It's like I don't want the song to end because it makes me feel like I'm experiencing a life that I always longed for, but at the same time I have a hard time listening because I know I'll never experience that life. I hope I find people that fill this void in me someday.
All in all, pretty solid song.

There's somebody out there for you that knows exactly how you feel. Keep looking.

In like 1999 this used to play on the radio when we would go swimming.
High school days, cassette tapes, song hits, playing guitar, cutting classes, jam with friends, bring back those sad and happy memories.. 90s still👍

I have an addiction and I heard this song for the first time yesterday in the car. I'm suicidal so that first line caught me. And when he says he would understand if he got cut out of that person's life, I got that too. All the things that I couple in with my addiction, the people, the activities.

In the 90's when this song came out I was 19 and full of hope for the future. I had dreams for my life that I couldn't imagine not coming to fruition. I was young and ill prepared for what was to come instead. From abusive relationships to being sexually assaulted to being homeless and a lot in between. None of it good. I have an apartment now and not much else. Some people have nice relatively easy privileged lives. Other people, like me, suffer on a regular basis despite desperately wanting happiness. I'm extremely proud of myself that I survived a torrential storm of trauma throughout my life. And I'm still standing despite all the many obstacles trying to knock me down. My expectations are very low. Life is a lot easier that way.
Sounds a bit like me, when I was younger. I had so much hope for myself until everything went wrong and I had a hard time recovering in ways I didn’t expect.
I can't even imagine how many lives this work of art has saved, so real before that was normal. It hits hard, as someone who was considering suicide years ago. This song helped me more than I even realized 💕
A lot of 90’s songs were heavier than we realized at such a young age, unless you had experienced loss/trauma yourself. I mean look at Papa Roach - their whole album “infest” is full of heavy imagery - I just thought it sounded cool!
Was just thinking the same thing about this song. We’ll never know the real numbers, but I am certain it has helped prevent many tragedies. It’s a powerful combination of compassion, strength and hope packaged into an unforgettable pop melody.
@@89ksokd91 I understand how that feels. Lived more than half my life with recurring major depression and anxiety disorders. They run in my family… bad mental health genetics. Anyway, I don’t know you in person, but I care about you. I understand and empathize with the bizarre, pervasive pains our brains can create that seem to exist without any real cause or reason. I’m in it for the long haul though, not going anywhere, and I know you can be too. Hang in there, friend. Never forget the people who love you, and who would be so hurt forever if you weren’t here anymore.
@@89ksokd91 I’m so sorry to hear what you’ve endured, and the loneliness and isolation that surely has come along with it too. I also understand exactly what you mean when you say you no longer look to a future. It’s just living each day so that you can keep living each day. I know it’s really tough… and I really feel for you. Please don’t give up. I know it’s impossible to believe when you’re going through what you are now, but there really is hope for not having to feel this way forever. I know they don’t work for everyone, but for me, the right antidepressant was like a switch turning on throughout my whole body. The difference without doing anything else, living in the same circumstances, was enormous. I was able to feel the warmth of pleasure again-something I hadn’t felt in years. There are other treatments that have really helped people I know: ketamine is one; the other is TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation). That second one sounds weird, but it’s actually an FDA-cleared treatment for major depression that is basically like a targeted MRI to stimulate mood-regulating parts of the brain. It’s safe and doesn’t have any significant side effects. I know a person who had a similar background to what you describe, who was in her 50s and lived her whole life with the mental consequences of that horrific trauma… she has been a whole new person for a year after going through just 6 weeks of TMS and ketamine treatments. If you have a therapist or psych doctor, you may want to bring these up with them. TMS is even covered by insurance and is becoming widely available - it might be something to give some hope again. Sending all the warmest wishes your way-I really do care, and I hope for you to be able to feel the joy that others take for granted. Hugs to you ❤️

Lost my grandmother in my senior year in high school (I’m now 19 and a freshman in college) and the grief afterwards sent me into a full downward spiral and I ended up sitting on the roof of my house contemplating my life. I called an ambulance so I could get help and just as I was coming off the house the police came at the right time. Driving to the hospital in the cop car, I asked to listen to the radio and the last minute of this song came on when it turned on. Weird timing, but listening to it made me realize I made the right decision to get help and keep on with life.

This entire albums has helped me through some hard times. It defines a generation.
I don't think I completely appreciated this group when I was in my 20s. Fast forward to now at 52, I can understand what this song was really about. Honestly, this song is pure genius lyrically and musically. ThirdEyeBlind I see you now!
90s music was the best. So much passion heart and soul. God I miss this time. Pure musicianship.
I liked this song before Yes Man, who all can say this too? Love Third Eye Blind.
I actually thought it was from the Goo Goo Dolls and I've always searched for it under their name. Today, however, I felt really depressed and I was actually contemplating the act and decided to take a trip down memory lane... I've found it and I feel both happy and sad.
I knew this since I was 12 in 2014 I was in 7th grade when I very well understood the lyrics I wish nobody to feel this way.
Scrubs did it for me
Millions of people....
Of course, in fact I saw that film shortly after it came out and I don't remember this being in it.
Track is about reaching out to a friend in need who is struggling with negative feelings and giving them comfort and understanding. The lyrics suggest there is someone who is feeling overwhelmed and running away from difficult emotions and experiences. The narrator of the song is encouraging the person to step back, cut ties with lies and take control of the situation to find a way out. He also acknowledges that, if the person chooses to do this alone, he would understand, and will still be there if they need him. The message of the song is to reach out to someone in need and offer them genuine support and compassion.
im dealing with it and a lot of my friends are . im tryin but this song is so good because it relates a message thru a link
You know, I read the comments. Now I wanna cry. This song is a true legend...
This melody which starts at 2:35 on the guitar is beautiful and eternal... it reminds me of my parents who passed away and the memories my childhood, my country, heaven and doves in flight.
Power of music.

Emotional pain is like heavy debt. It doesn't just dissappear when you die, it's passed on. You aren't erasing the pain, you're giving it to the ones you love. Stay strong friends.
That is only if you have ones that truly love you
@@blackdragon737 surely even if you don't mean a thing to the world...
you still mean the world to someone...?
:(
I still miss him...
@@abigails4088 everyone that supposedly cares is just using me. The one that actually cared passed away 17 years ago
@@blackdragon737 im sorry to hear that... been 3 years without mom, 2 and a half since my partner of 15 years died...
sometimes I feel like I'm on my own, too... that's true. sometimes I feel like a failure... I mean, I tried so hard to save her but...
as long as we're alive
we have HOPE for a better tomorrow...
@@abigails4088 I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your mom and partner. I know how hard of a shock that is
Whole album should be required listening in high school now. Just so they could appreciate songs with meanings and motives behind them. 2020...
I listened to this album twice today and just remembering when I borrowed it from a friend then bought myself a copy. No skips on this CD for sure!
Indeed
Album was a complete masterpiece. I didn't realize its depth until years later but was fortunate enough to know I had found a gem when I first experienced it.
On god
I'm listening to this album for the first time in 2025, I'm so happy right now
Rest in peace, Reckful. OG and the Legend
This song has always meant a lot to me. I think this came out when I was a teenager, and I had pretty gnarly depression that was undiagnosed and then finally diagnosed but I still didn't have the help I needed. Like everyone I suppose, stuff happened to me too around that time that wasn't good.
The lyrics and the song made me feel like I wasn't alone- like everyone has to find a way to let certain things go, and that there is a way out of all of it. Things are much better 15 or whatever years later, but sometimes I find my depression and crappy things that happened then starting to catch up to me for a moment, and I like to listen to this song.
The song is right- you can put the past away. Every once in a while it may come back (via remembering traumatic things or resurfacing depression) but it can just be a brief throwback for a short amount of time, and then you get back to who you are. That's why this song is so great- everyone has a reason and should endeavor to put their crappy past away. Then life has so much promise and one can enjoy the beauty.
Same experience a few times, but got real bad in the past 4 years, post divorse I need and will like I have before, and lost people, so this song measn a lot to me. I knew the lyrics, but It got real hearing again .
1997 Powerhouse debut. They dont make albums like this anymore. 👏👏👏
This song makes a lot more sense now.
This song is so awesome to jog to, sunrise at the beach, feels like you can run forever.
Cool
Rest in peace my friend Chai, you'll always be remembered❤
101chocolate no one knows who chai is and sounds like he or she is dead so why bother posting that
@@freshmalibu3599 Its a way of griefing, so would you kindly fuck off?
One of the beat songs ever during the 90s ....
Great grammar
If you like this vheck out the rest of this album - it's better Their next album was Blue and it is also excellent.
I have blisters on me fingers!
The most frustrating thing about growing up is forgetting good memories
Wild to think I probobly won’t ever even come back to this comment. Just going to be another one gone.
wack
❤️ truth

When you're young, everything seems magnified. Back in H.S., I heard a few guys were talking desperate shit and I called them to me. Not saying I'm special in any way, but I did have a gift of seeing/knowing people from early-on. I KNOW two of (3...the other died from an unrelated incident much later) them, went on to become reasonably successful in life. If you're deeply-troubled (or know someone that is), just KNOW that this will pass and time will help cauterize wounds. We are NOT what has happened...we are free to become what we want to BE. Nobody can take THAT away.
But this needs to be remembered in that desperate moment, and that is so so so difficult
@@amygaddis2453 it is true that's difficult, but only those not responsible for recurring pain can be of help. You can't save everyone, but U can try n make them feel wanted/understood/(potentially) valuable.
This is a great song. My brother really enjoyed this band. I never really payed that close attention to them. However back in 2018 he committed suicide. So now a lot of songs like this one have a lot more meaning. I miss him a lot. There have been many times in my life I have felt suicidal even before my brother killed himself. The thing that keeps me from doing anything is realizing it is a long term solution to a short term problem. You just have to push through stuff! There is always another way!
I emphasize with you… been feeling that way for a while now but the same reason I feel to do it is also 1 cause for me not doing it. Still I have thoughts of out by some kind of accident. God is good
I always wished that I had a brother I am sad you lost yours

Hugs to you..
bro im sorry jonathan
How can it be that this tune is over 25 years old? Wow. Take heed young folks, life's faster than fleeting.
