Song like this reminds me that I need to stop being anxious about how my friends are, worried about relationships, or fear what people think of me. I should just go out there and live my young life while I can.
No flying cars, no stellar travel or lunar vacations, and racism more overt than back then, maybe that's good or bad as now we are starting to face our demons, but ya. I agree with you, just back to when we had the birth of the internet but no fucking smart phones, that would be great.
I was a senior in high school when this came out and it blew me away. Listening to it late into the night. When you're a teenager you can only wonder about the world and what it will be like. You see endless possibilities. My imagination would run wild. I loved this song. Hearing it again makes me miss those times dearly. Your teenage years are a trip. Things are different now. Growing up has its pros and it has its cons. Cherish your youth. Be kind to people.
This hit hard. You've got a good 9 years on me, but I was doing the same thing at about the same time. We had no idea those would be the best days of our lives.
I can so relate to what you said! I dreamed of becoming a radio DJ when I was in my late teens, and I would set up at night, like you, and dream about all the stations I could jock at. I would listen to my songs and just let my imagination run wild about how famous and successful I would become!!! At night in the 🏜 desert, I could pick up a station in Oklahoma City, and, years later, I ended up working there!! Yes, I imagined it and it happened!!! I'm retired now, 52 years old, and what a trip it's been!!!! But, how I wanna go back and be 16 again, and dream those dreams, and have all the wonderful things and beautiful ladies ahead of me instead of behind me.... Time goes way,way too fast... This song takes me back to those dream filled desert nights, when anything was possible and getting older happened to everyone else.....
My dad told me the story of what this song meant to him, my dad had never met his biological father until 2006, I was born in 1999 right after this song came out. When my parents drove home with me for the first time, this song was playing on the radio and my dad had never heard it yet. While this song was playing he was thinking about how his father would be feeling about being a grandpa and then the lyrics “Hey dad, what do you think about your son now?” played. He said he got goosebumps and started to cry, a mixture of joy and sadness of not knowing how his dad would feel about him, would he be proud? Happy? Supportive of his own boy having his first child? He said he’ll never forget that moment until he’s dead and gone. That story always struck home to me and made me think that maybe some things, even music, are meant for certain moments in time, like that moment right there. Thank you Filter for making a beautiful and soul warming song for us all to forever remember.
Underrated comment. Tears in my eyes reading this. That's one of the most beautiful things I've read in awhile--especially, "[that] story always struck home to me and made me think that maybe some things, even music, are meant for certain moments in time, like that moment right there." Well said, and beyond relatable!
Nah cos I’m finding these songs now, 1 after another. These are absolute masterpieces never heard a beautiful song that’s less than 15 years old but I’ve heard millions of songs more than 15 years old that are absolutely fucking beautiful
It sure was! I keep saying what happened?! We were so lucky to have all the great music then. That's why I listen to a classic music station now. Playing all the greats.
I discovered this song in 2006… life threatening cancer, a divorce, 2 scared kids and Richard Patrick in my head phones. I’m still here & I still love this song
I went through 2 life changes at the same time as well. I became a new and better person. Sometimes it takes seeing things as thing are for oneself to do something for their life. Heart valve replacememt surgery and that led to a divorce. It was tough.
This song hit radios a month before my best friend committed suicide. We were 18; he died 10/7/1999. I was always afraid I'd forget his face, his voice, his smell. I haven't. RIP Jymm... ❤ You'll never be 'left alone' and we have the pictures to remember. You live on in the hearts of many.
@@MrStimpage... Just heard it on the soundtrack of Cold Case TV series reshowing on Start TV. Kathryn Morris was such an amazing natural beauty, so I really enjoyed watching the show. When I caught the episode playing this song it triggered such wonderful memories that I had to look up the video play on TH-cam. Next up is April Wine.
I woke up from being in a medically induced coma a couple weeks ago and this song was in my head non stop. I hadn’t heard it in years but as soon as I had the strength I came to TH-cam to find it and now here I am💙
Glad to hear you're alright. I lost my brother last December when he slipped into a coma. I had this song in my head all day at work and I just had to hear it. Stay safe.
Bro yes I just finished re watching it and this scene stuck out in my head. Reminded me of my youth and falling in love with the girl next door. I miss those times so much I want to return to them so badly, but I know it's futile because of far we have expanded into the future. I don't think I'll ever be happy again
Back in the 90's We were living a great time for music, we had everything we needed, and we didn,t know, that's why we still come over an over to listen this kind of songs to travel in time and remember all those years..... tanx Richard for this song
This song changed my life, my son was born just after the release and I stepped up and made the hardest decision in my life to be the father I didn't have.
This song always hits some kind of emotional nerve with me. I really crave the 80’s and 90’s again. Life was so much simpler. Reading everyone’s comments, especially the more recent ones is really touching. There are so many people struggling right now and music brings people together.
I got left alone. I had a beautiful life altering experience and no regrets. This song lets me remember I am stronger for it even in the silence. What a brilliant song. Thank you
Nostalgia on hyperdrive.. Man, what I'd give to have the 90s back, I wouldn't have taken a single second for granted..I had the opportunity to have experienced it and will forever cherish it!❤
This is one of those rare songs that touches your heart with it's dreamy sound and challenges your mind with it's thought provoking lyrics. Definitely a true gem among the songs of the 90's. I never get tired of listening to it.
@@briancarpenter6413 It was inspired by the composer having a drunk episode. I think the crafting of the lyrics though has a wider area for interpretation. Even Richard Patrick admitted that each time he sings some of the lyrics they have a different meaning to him.
My husband and I met the year this came out. I have so many happy memories of this song. No social media, no camera phone, no looking picture perfect. Just living in the moment as crazy teenagers in love and not a care in the world. Still together over 20 years later. I always come back to this every once in a while. Thanks for the memories Mr Patrick.
This is quite possibly the most difficult song for me to listen to because it was my high school sweetheart's favorite song and she died in a car crash 7 weeks after we graduated... 😞😢 RIP Jenny ❤💔💐
Cheers to anyone and everyone who is listening, reflecting and enjoying the sheer innocence of the music. My toast is to you! Many Blessings. And stay safe wherever you are in this beautiful world.
Theres the problem right there. Safety. Fuck safety. Live like its your last day every day. Do what you want. Say what you want to whomever or whatever you want.
@@michaelshawusa1 Dude.... gtfo the internet and go read a book you fuckin moron. Holy shit it's a fucking figurative comparison that your goomba flat head looking ass can't seem to fuckin understand.
I grew up in 2010 and there was lots of pop punk and classic rock music, when I was watching old movies at the time, I thought that was my future gonna be, fun and full of people open about many things, but hell no xD
I’m 27 years old and I remember my big brother and I jamming to this song in the car when I was 11. He passed away to suicide that year in December 28th of 2006 and he was only 18, 3 days before his 19th birthday. This is to you big bro. 💜
This song reminds me of my late mother. I used to hear this song on the way to visit her every weekend at the cancer treatment center when I was 21. She died in 2001 at the tender age of 50. I absolutely love this song and miss my momma!
When a mother is a good mother, there is nothing better in The World. I think of my Mom every single day and she's been gone 15 years come Jan. 8, 2021. Really sad that you lost your Mom when you were so young. And dreadful that she passed far too soon.. At least you have all those happy memories. And you can count yourself lucky lucky lucky if you had a Mom who was loving and understanding.
I'm an old goat at 56, but I lived through some of the best music in every format, starting with lp's till now, I always tell my young friends, to always keep an opened mind when it comes to music, just because you get older doesn't mean you have to change to what you listen to, stay true to your love of music, and you'll always be young
Mark Smith...Brother, YES! I am 54 and I agree that our generation's music was a spectrum of variety. We were blessed to have been able to listen to and see in concert so many great and talented musicians. It is also sad to have witnessed the tragic deaths of so much talent. Here's to our generation, The MTV Generation! The REAL 1st MTV that is! ~LuLu~
I love this song, it reminds me of mtv, videos, & my sister & I going to see bands at clubs in 1990's. On Nov 24,2021 my sister died from diabetic/ covid-19 complications. We're 4 yrs apart, she was only 46 yrs old. I'll never have anyone else that loved music as much as her. Late 80's & 1990's music will live in heart always. My sister liked Filter, so did I. Rip Angela, I'll see you again one day. 🙏💔 I love all the comments here to. ❣️
So very sorry for your loss... I have a younger sister and we're 4 yrs apart and are buddies. I can't imagine.. so very sorry! just know she'll always be with you ❤️ 🙏😔
Playing this song as a tribute to my older sister who passed away last month. Filter was her favorite band. Even though she isn't alive physically, she'll always be alive in my memories 🖤
Awe, I'm sorry for your loss. I love this song and it makes me think about the past and all my classmates, military buddies and childhood friends. A lot of them are gone. They live on in our hearts and memories.
The 90’s will never be replicated. This takes me back to a simpler time, growing up and hanging out with my friends. Many of them have scattered to the wind. Time flies. Treasure the present and cherish the memories! Peace and progress to you all!!
This song captures the breathtaking feeling when one thing ends but the new beginning makes you forget what you left behind. Thanks Richard Patrick. This song is treasure
One of the best songs from that era. This is what actual talent from actual musicians sounds like. Nothing complicated or super technical, but it's just a solid song.
I ended here after I googled one of my favorite songs and videos, STP Wicked Garden and just read something about these guys. Evidently the lead singer was a studio musician for NIN and started his own band from there and was tired of 600 a week. I'm curious to here more. I remember this song being on the radio a long long long time ago. Everything but the vocals makes me think of PP for some reason...probably the percussion and sound of the early 2000's.
Same here. It's a song that I've always loved, but never wore it out. So every now and then I'll listen to it again to get that feeling. I don't still love many of the songs I did 20 years ago, so this one is special.
just heard an interview with the lead singer on the grant random show on sirius and he said he was a mess when he was drinking he has been sober for like 16 years or so and life is awsome now
To me it was instant. In my interpretation, without wanting to know all the words. It's about the circle of life. Reincarnation. Take a picture cause i won't remember. You are born and then realize it's an illusion and you're not alone. If god was a person, he would be alone.
As an 80's child and metal head I normally wouldn't like a song like this...but the musicianship / execution / structure of this song is just captivating...and while the lyrics / vocals dont seem award-winning , they are truly mesmerizing...this song really stands out for me - I have to admit this band is extremely and extraordinarily talented !!
This is one of those songs that takes me right to a very specific point in time. I haven’t listened to this song in probably 20 years. Gives me goosebumps.
Lots of feelings attached to this song... At the moment, my mom suffers from Alzheimer's. When i visit i take pictures so i can later show her the things we do. She doesn't remember longer than a few minutes, So she enjoys seeing the pics of what we do. "You wanna take my picture cause i wont remember" I reluctantly excepted my new role in her life so i also relate to the line, "i feel like a new born kickin and screaming" I love this song even though it leaves me feeling a bit melancholy.
I saw these guys in Iraq while deployed back in 2010. Richard wasn't really feeling the crowd. I wasn't really supposed to be at the show, but I'd been a fan for nearly a decade. I remember before this song was played, he gave a little insight on what it meant to him. At the end of the show, I stayed for the autograph. I was pushing it by then, but I really wanted to meet the band. I recall laughing at how giddy everyone was. Then it was my turn. I looked Richard right in the eyes and I froze for what seemed like forever. He asked me if I was alright. I was speechless. Completely awestruck. He came around and gave me a big hug and signed a photo for me. I'll never forget that day. I've since lost the photo, but I'll always have the memory.
I remember being in my dads pick up driving up to ocean city on a summer day and this song was blaring on the radio while going down highway I felt like i was in a dream. This song brings back sooooo many memories
This video is such a perfect depiction of how depression and adhd make me feel - like I’m underwater and nothing is quite attainable. This song came out the year before my boyfriend killed himself and I remember hearing it shortly after his death and it just hit so hard 💔 he did not live up to his dads expectations either :(
It's odd, and comforting, to find yourself coming back to certain songs decades later that resonate more than what's released today. The band playing on top of the floating house will forever be an image in my mind.
This song always reminds me of my mate Jeff. I was living in his house with him and another mate back around year 2000. He had this cassette and used to love it. He died of a brain aneurysm some years ago. RIP Jeff
"Hey, dad, what you think about your son now?" This is the phrase that has always cut me sharp. My father was murdered when I was one year old. I barely remember him. I listened to this song for the very first time when I was in high school. It caught me immediately. Up to now, I still wonder what my dad thinks about his son now. Greetings from Mexico.
A song that helped me get through my mid-teens when it came out. God I miss the 90's. I would die right now if I could go back to 1998 & keep the wisdom and lessons I've learned since then. Take another crack at life starting from that warm and soft blanket that was the late 90's..
Another beautiful example of the common 90s production style of mixing distorted guitars with clean acoustic guitar chords. The 90s truly were a special time for music. Filter totally holds the fukk up!!
You have no idea how much this song means to me. I can't count how many times I've listened to it. I feel like crying because it is so freeing and gives me hope. It is an outlet and helped give me courage coming out of an abusive and oppressive situation. Thank you a million times Filter and more. Your music is life saving. It has been with me through the chaos of my adolescence and now in my thirties it is more relevant than ever. Love and gratitude to you always. ❤️
My parents would play this song all the time when I was a kid. Hearing this gives me vivid memories of me hanging out in their bedroom as my mom folded clothes
indubitably... amazing, memorable, magical, surreal times.... on so many levels!! i'd live 96-99 over & over eternally... my life & times matched the mood of the musical era, in every fantastic way imaginable. LET'S GO BACK!! ha ha ..
Filter is one of those bands that makes a seamless transition from heavier, moodier stuff to a lighter, more introspective vibe seemingly easy... "Hey Man, Nice Shot" is worlds away, musically, conceptually, and lyrically from "Take A Picture" (Just my humble opinion)
Knowing the meaning of the song and spending years in the same situation makes this the best song I have or ever will hear. I've been sober for 2 years and will never go back to that life.
Proud of you, as someone who struggles with similar issues. It’s not easy to keep facing the pain over and over without running away into a substance. I understand and I think what you’ve done for yourself requires a strength of the soul. That’s special. Keep going.
I was going to comment something similar! I don't even know when it first came out, it just seems to have been around awhile! Searched up some of the lyrics and was like "wow! Filter!"
Man does this hits home, such a beautiful song. I remember being young and hearing this and just being so optimistic about the future and all of the things I could and/or would do.
my mom was obsessed with taking pictures of our family as i grew up. it got annoying when i was a teen and twenty something. then she got cancer and died age 53 in 2010. i have her massive collection of photo albums and im thankful. so many amazing pictures.
Ah 😢 I’m 53 and having slight memory issues and so sad I didn’t take more pictures of my kids growing up. I treasure the ones we do have. Love to you and all!
I was in the marines in 1999, I remember my dad driving me back to camp Pendleton after being home on leave. This song came on the radio and I was sad because I missed home already. It's amazing how songs bring back memories.
Thanks Vinnie for the memories that you shared. For me, certains songs or tracks bring back sweet memories. I can literally remember what I was doing when a certain track was released. I was a teenager in the eighties and I love tracks and songs from the nineties too. This track by Filter was released when my first marriage was coming to an end. But, now years later, this song brings me joy...regards from Australia Vinnie...
Richard Patrick looks like a man i dated for 7years. I loved him so much and i probably always will. Such fond memories. We did everything together, more or less, joined at the hip. Even though we went our separate ways, a part of me will always love him.❤
THANK GOD!! After years of tracking i finally found this song. :) I first heard this 4 years ago on a radio station called 93 Rock in Florida. :) I had this stuck in my head all that day :) the next day i forgot the name of it :P. here i am 4 years later lol :P
funny i went to HS in fla. when this came out and i had to wake up super early to get ready, at 4am MTV still played videos. this was one of them. never forgot.
I'm glad this music is transcending generations because you are obviously a youngster (not a bad thing, I just grew up with this band among others). The 90's were really the last bastion of good rock music. Rockstars were still rockstars.
Congrats on finding out the song name! Now can anyone tell me where I can find the version on VH1 where they played pop-up video and used this song? It was really cool, as they used mugshots (pictures) from famous people throughout the whole video! Including Bill Gates!
I'd be honored if some classic 90s fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of Mmm Mmm Mmm by the CRASH TEST DUMMIES, Bittersweet Symphony by THE VERVE, and Long December by the COUNTING CROWS on my YT channel in tribute to 3 great 90s standards. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Thanks and peace out.
Still brings me to tears all these years later. Makes me think of my father and the plane crash that killed both him and my Mother in 1988. What a power music has to evoke such intense feelings and memories.
Man I’m 16 right now and I love this song. The chorus makes me think of what it was like for people in the 90s and how it’s gonna be for me in 30 years. Good song
Stay 16 as long as you can man,I know it seems like getting older will be fun and you can do alot more but every single person in their 40s like me will do anything to be 16 again.
@@Partypanther-tq3nf good luck man and do everything to stay young man.16-22 are gonna be your best years of your life,even if they suck to you at the time.some advice. Your biggest regrets aren't gonna be the stuff you did it's gonna be the things you didn't do.so Always think real hard before you do something and think if you are gonna regret it or regret not doing it.im 40 and the things that keep me up at night are the things I didn't do,the stuff I did I don't think about it at all.again good luck man and make your life count.
That means over the last 9 months the views have grown by 3 million. Considering this was uploaded over 10 years after this song’s peak, 16 million views ain’t too shabby. If TH-cam had been around in 1999, I’m sure this would easily have over 100 million views.
Richard Patrick telling the story behind this stream-of-conscious song: He recalled: "There was no thought behind it. It was off-the-cuff. It was emotional. I was so lonely. When you drink, you feel cut off from everybody. The isolation is wild. You isolate yourself, but then you realize you're left all alone. I'd get in trouble. I got arrested, but I was taken to a psych ward." "That was the second time I had an issue on airplane," he continued. "I was like, 'I bet my dad's going to be proud of this!' There's that song, 'Dad, I'm In Jail.' 'Take A Picture' was my homage to that. 'Hey dad, what do you think about your son now?' is a double entendre. Do you think my platinum records are cool? Do you think I'm a success? Do you know how much pain I'm in? Do you have any idea what's going on with me? I think everybody has that thing with their parents. They want to figure out their moms and dads."
Thank you for the meaning of this song. It's exactly what my son is going through. He's a heroin addict and everytime he goes to jail he expresses the same feelings. His dad calls him a junkie and that he'll never be anything.
The "Hey dad, what do you think about your son now?" lyric i thought was about how he grew up jealous and being in his older brothers shadow, his brother being Hollywood actor Robert Patrick.
@@JOHNizSiK were they close back then when he wrote the song? Im more talking about him and his fathers relationship compared to the relationship his father had/has with his movie/television star brother.
I remember listening to this song on the radio on the way home the day my Mom was moved to Hospice care. I guess it was her way of telling me that she is free now. No more pain. No more chemotherapy. I still get mixed emotions of joy and profound sadness when I hear this song. RIP Mom. You were a better mom than I ever deserved.
This song helped save my life in 2002 and is helping me again now. Words cannot express how much this song means to me. Rest in peace, Mike. You loved this song. Don't worry, I will remember ❤
@@sarahlitwiller7662 I just turned 50 this year couldn't celebrate it due to C19 reasons in Canada. This year sucked worse than 2020 when it first hit. 😕 Yet next year 51 will be reversed to 15 yrs Old!:)
March 2021 anyone? God, I love this song. I hear it am reminded that I love it, suddenly five years of life get in the way and go by in a flash, out of nowhere, I get reminded of this song on a night much like tonight, I listen to it about 15 times, suddenly five years of life go by, rinse and repeat....
Find something, anything that takes you out of the repetition. Boredom and routine are the biggest spirit killing activities I can think of. Only you can venture out to make it happen. I truly wish you well.
The pre covid years...... the times when we were so long forward to what the future holds for us all. Listening to music like this before going to school, and after we got home, just so excited to finally become an adult....... only to miss the very thing that passed us by all along. Rest in Peace 1990-1999...... gone but never forgotten
One of the most beautiful songs I´ve ever heard (1.000.000 times, more or less...)

& I agree 100%
I still have the CD from when it was released. It feels such a rare, dreamy piece of music.
@@wedgiepantilles4620 Me too! My CD is transparent due to the heavy usage😆
Song like this reminds me that I need to stop being anxious about how my friends are, worried about relationships, or fear what people think of me. I should just go out there and live my young life while I can.
Exactly. It’s cool how this song evokes that feeling in a lot of people. It’s almost hypnotic, especially if it’s nostalgic to you.

Keep on keeping on brother. If you treat people how you'd like to be treated, then never, ever worry about what they think about you.😊

All I did in the 90s was fantasize about the future. Now that I'm in the future, all I want is to go back to the 90s

Given technology nowadays, I never thought how serendipitous it is that a band called Filter made a song called Take A Picture
True❤❤😊
Filters existed for camera lenses long before Instagram etc came about though :)

I was a senior in high school when this came out and it blew me away. Listening to it late into the night. When you're a teenager you can only wonder about the world and what it will be like. You see endless possibilities. My imagination would run wild. I loved this song. Hearing it again makes me miss those times dearly. Your teenage years are a trip. Things are different now. Growing up has its pros and it has its cons. Cherish your youth. Be kind to people.
Amen 🙏 I'm 55 and life goes by so fast 😊 truly cherish every moment 😇

Big shiny tunes 5 🥲 do anything to back to when this compilation came out
Dude 👊🏻
Nah cos I’m finding these songs now, 1 after another. These are absolute masterpieces never heard a beautiful song that’s less than 15 years old but I’ve heard millions of songs more than 15 years old that are absolutely fucking beautiful
It sure was! I keep saying what happened?! We were so lucky to have all the great music then. That's why I listen to a classic music station now. Playing all the greats.

I went through 2 life changes at the same time as well. I became a new and better person. Sometimes it takes seeing things as thing are for oneself to do something for their life. Heart valve replacememt surgery and that led to a divorce. It was tough.

This song hit radios a month before my best friend committed suicide. We were 18; he died 10/7/1999. I was always afraid I'd forget his face, his voice, his smell. I haven't.

I'm 63 and this song takes me back. Miss those days 😭😭
WE of our age group have a Musical Legacy, that will NEVER be recreated !
You are still IN those days js
@@MrStimpage... Just heard it on the soundtrack of Cold Case TV series reshowing on Start TV. Kathryn Morris was such an amazing natural beauty, so I really enjoyed watching the show. When I caught the episode playing this song it triggered such wonderful memories that I had to look up the video play on TH-cam. Next up is April Wine.
I'm 62..and I feel the same way myfriend
Jajaa estaba como en sus 30s
The world before the year 2000 feels like a completely different, alternate reality. Far better than what we have now...
Sorry that you feel that way since it was 25 years ago. The best is yet to come.
@@lemurianchickthere was still a magic in the 90s and 2000s, but all traces of it were effectively wiped out during the covid era
And we ain’t seen nothing yet. Just give it a couple more decades and things are gonna get REALLY wild.
I woke up from being in a medically induced coma a couple weeks ago and this song was in my head non stop. I hadn’t heard it in years but as soon as I had the strength I came to TH-cam to find it and now here I am💙
Glad to hear you're alright. I lost my brother last December when he slipped into a coma. I had this song in my head all day at work and I just had to hear it. Stay safe.
It's a beautiful song. It's what you would call a rock dream. 😘
I awoke from a medically induced coma after 21 days and I was singing Champaign Super Nova, forever
💕💞💝
Wow, so glad your doing better. Definitely a song that stays with you. 🏵️❤️
Girl Next door is a dream movie. Such a beautiful scene capture in the movie with this song.
Only for the 2000 kids like myself.Happy early 33rd to me#MayBaby
And Elisha Cutbert is a drop dead gorgeous woman. It is a shame how Hollywood cut her off.
In which scene does it appear?
@@hernanbusso1609it’s the part where calls him out to skip school.
Bro yes I just finished re watching it and this scene stuck out in my head. Reminded me of my youth and falling in love with the girl next door. I miss those times so much I want to return to them so badly, but I know it's futile because of far we have expanded into the future. I don't think I'll ever be happy again
Back in the 90's We were living a great time for music, we had everything we needed, and we didn,t know, that's why we still come over an over to listen this kind of songs to travel in time and remember all those years..... tanx Richard for this song
😳😳❤❤ 🙏🙏🙏
Word the fuck up
My cousin thinks you look like Squall from Final Fantasy.
@@woated2 really? jajajaja i don´t think so..... Squall its handsome, not me..... cheers
Guillermo got it
A Masterpiece! Simply Amazing! 🪐🌠🌌❤
This song changed my life, my son was born just after the release and I stepped up and made the hardest decision in my life to be the father I didn't have.
I'm proud of you
For the few who did see this, most would hold you with a lot of respect. We still do.
That's what's up my brother. Im happy to hear that. This is a truly deep song. For some. Deeper
We love you here bro #TH-camFam
Nah mate I heard you are a terrible dad
This song always hits some kind of emotional nerve with me. I really crave the 80’s and 90’s again. Life was so much simpler. Reading everyone’s comments, especially the more recent ones is really touching. There are so many people struggling right now and music brings people together.
🍻🍺 I couldn't agree with you more. 🍺Cheers from Canada🍺
same, i was born in 2004 and missed out on all that.
Very well said ❤️❤️❤️
I wish there was a way to know your in the good old days before you've actually left them - the office
@Oscar Thorpe way to bring political bs into a great comment
Filter is ridiculously underrated. Amazing band with amazing music
ARMY OF ANYONE WITH THE DELEO BROS WAS GOOD TOO
What other songs that was good
@@johndavis6719is the song really titled “What Other Songs?” I can’t find it online.
This song is good. That's 4 sure .........
I got left alone. I had a beautiful life altering experience and no regrets. This song lets me remember I am stronger for it even in the silence. What a brilliant song. Thank you
Nostalgia on hyperdrive.. Man, what I'd give to have the 90s back, I wouldn't have taken a single second for granted..I had the opportunity to have experienced it and will forever cherish it!❤
The past is another country that we cannot visit.
Most of us listed to this in the early 2000s as it was released in 1999.
Time is a theif
90s is a brilliance time where all the culture was on a perfect place - movies, music, festivals - have their best.
Well said
This is one of those rare songs that touches your heart with it's dreamy sound and challenges your mind with it's thought provoking lyrics. Definitely a true gem among the songs of the 90's. I never get tired of listening to it.
its about getting drunk as hell .chill out lol
@@briancarpenter6413 It was inspired by the composer having a drunk episode. I think the crafting of the lyrics though has a wider area for interpretation. Even Richard Patrick admitted that each time he sings some of the lyrics they have a different meaning to him.
@@tomcat321 he looks exactly like a Richard Patrick lol
It's a song about getting drunk and taking your clothes off in an airplane
My husband and I met the year this came out. I have so many happy memories of this song. No social media, no camera phone, no looking picture perfect. Just living in the moment as crazy teenagers in love and not a care in the world. Still together over 20 years later. I always come back to this every once in a while. Thanks for the memories Mr Patrick.
I wish yall the best, till old age ❤
Great post
Badass 👍🤟
Music should bring more people together. MUSIC is LOVE!!!
those were the times... (Y) all the best to you guys
This is quite possibly the most difficult song for me to listen to because it was my high school sweetheart's favorite song and she died in a car crash 7 weeks after we graduated... 😞😢
RIP Jenny ❤💔💐
😔😭😭
Cheers to anyone and everyone who is listening, reflecting and enjoying the sheer innocence of the music. My toast is to you! Many Blessings. And stay safe wherever you are in this beautiful world.
And to you too my friend.
Thanks. You too…
🍻 Here, Here! May The Lord Be With You! Pray 🙏
Gracias!
Theres the problem right there. Safety. Fuck safety. Live like its your last day every day. Do what you want. Say what you want to whomever or whatever you want.
I'm 76 and this song kicks ass. I can run like I could when I was 24 when I hear this song.
You weren’t much of a runner in your 20’s huh…
This song is truly uplifting indeed!
@@michaelshawusa1 lol you don't understand figures of speech at all bud. r/whoosh
@@GrimBrother I don’t think you do bud. What you said is dumb as hell then.
@@michaelshawusa1 Dude.... gtfo the internet and go read a book you fuckin moron. Holy shit it's a fucking figurative comparison that your goomba flat head looking ass can't seem to fuckin understand.
, I feel bad for anyone who never actually experienced the 90s. It was the last decade we were free and actually just enjoyed ourselves.
I was there in the 90s butI was too busy raising children 😅
I grew up in 2010 and there was lots of pop punk and classic rock music, when I was watching old movies at the time, I thought that was my future gonna be, fun and full of people open about many things, but hell no xD
My childhood was this, with a real camera, that had film that had to be developed.
Freedom, as all ideas and known things, are merely a part of the illusion.
We trippin' big time in these cosmos OG.
Miss the 90s. Great music. The decade of my young adulthood. I love this song..
I’m 27 years old and I remember my big brother and I jamming to this song in the car when I was 11. He passed away to suicide that year in December 28th of 2006 and he was only 18, 3 days before his 19th birthday.
This is to you big bro. 💜
We're really sorry for your loss. Stay strong.
😇😭😭
Sorry to hear that man 😢
All we can do is try to hang on and remember them the way they were at that very moment (In the car laughing and singing ❤ My heart goes out 2 u❤
Cherish the good memories...
This song reminds me of my late mother. I used to hear this song on the way to visit her every weekend at the cancer treatment center when I was 21. She died in 2001 at the tender age of 50. I absolutely love this song and miss my momma!
❤️
@xMaNrEbOrN78 Sorry for your loss as well cuzin. That's how life goes. We just gotta make the best of it.
When a mother is a good mother, there is nothing better in The World. I think of my Mom every single day and she's been gone 15 years come Jan. 8, 2021. Really sad that you lost your Mom when you were so young. And dreadful that she passed far too soon.. At least you have all those happy memories. And you can count yourself lucky lucky lucky if you had a Mom who was loving and understanding.
@@MiTmite9 Sorry for your loss too; thanks for the kind words.
So sorry for your loss. You reminded me to treasure my Mom.
Seeing Filter do this song live was a whole ass experience. God I wish I could go back. 🥰🥰
I assume you were sitting on YOUR ass at the gig.
I'm an old goat at 56, but I lived through some of the best music in every format, starting with lp's till now, I always tell my young friends, to always keep an opened mind when it comes to music, just because you get older doesn't mean you have to change to what you listen to, stay true to your love of music, and you'll always be young
Mark Smith I am 58 and I completely agree. love this song
Im 57 and I can say I have played this song at least 500 times and counting.
Mark Smith...Brother, YES! I am 54 and I agree that our generation's music was a spectrum of variety. We were blessed to have been able to listen to and see in concert so many great and talented musicians. It is also sad to have witnessed the tragic deaths of so much talent. Here's to our generation, The MTV Generation! The REAL 1st MTV that is! ~LuLu~
Mark Smith Amen, brother.
Mark smith . .. i absolutely agree with you . . good music doesn't fade . . .
Ten years ago my daughter died, I miss her. She loved this song.
Sorry for your loss. May she Rest In Peace.
Sorry for your loss
She had good taste. Take care.
I'm so sorry Stacey
She can see you every time she wants
I love this song, it reminds me of mtv, videos, & my sister & I going to see bands at clubs in 1990's. On Nov 24,2021 my sister died from diabetic/ covid-19 complications. We're 4 yrs apart, she was only 46 yrs old. I'll never have anyone else that loved music as much as her. Late 80's & 1990's music will live in heart always. My sister liked Filter, so did I. Rip Angela, I'll see you again one day. 🙏💔 I love all the comments here to. ❣️
I hope you find peace bro sending love 🖤
I’m so sorry for your loss. Lost my sister this year. The grief is tremendous. I also find solace in music. Can feel her when I listen.
@@korriesabbagh5388 Thank you so much. I'm sorry for your loss too. 💔
I'm sorry for your loss.
So very sorry for your loss... I have a younger sister and we're 4 yrs apart and are buddies. I can't imagine.. so very sorry! just know she'll always be with you ❤️ 🙏😔
“Hey Dad, what do you think about your son now?”
God, that line always hits harder the older I get.
The 90's was EVERYTHING! 😭
80s better yet
@@MartyHartman-wl2hdI enjoyed the heck out of both decades, plus the 70s. So much good music.
"the last decade" as i call it.
@@MartyHartman-wl2hd nah. too much coke, cockyness and business suits LOL xD
EVERYTHING ❤
Playing this song as a tribute to my older sister who passed away last month. Filter was her favorite band. Even though she isn't alive physically, she'll always be alive in my memories 🖤
Same here. My older sister passed away in November and this was her favorite song. Much love to you ❤
@@cw9155 thanks man ❤️❤️❤️
Awe, I'm sorry for your loss. I love this song and it makes me think about the past and all my classmates, military buddies and childhood friends. A lot of them are gone. They live on in our hearts and memories.
@yoitsalana665 Just because she is gone, her love doesn't leave with her. Hold on to those memories.
Sorry to hear about your sister. God Bless you.
The 90’s will never be replicated. This takes me back to a simpler time, growing up and hanging out with my friends. Many of them have scattered to the wind. Time flies. Treasure the present and cherish the memories! Peace and progress to you all!!
Scattered to the wind haha. That is pretty much what happened to a lot of them.
Agreed, everything seems so quite
This song captures the breathtaking feeling when one thing ends but the new beginning makes you forget what you left behind. Thanks Richard Patrick. This song is treasure
Fantastic song. Remember hearing this on “The Girl Next Door”
Uh huh
And Litty Nicky! :)
Literally just watched the movie 🙌🏼
Danielle and matthew
Crazy/Beautiful as well 😉👍🎥
One of the best songs from that era. This is what actual talent from actual musicians sounds like. Nothing complicated or super technical, but it's just a solid song.
I ended here after I googled one of my favorite songs and videos, STP Wicked Garden and just read something about these guys. Evidently the lead singer was a studio musician for NIN and started his own band from there and was tired of 600 a week. I'm curious to here more. I remember this song being on the radio a long long long time ago. Everything but the vocals makes me think of PP for some reason...probably the percussion and sound of the early 2000's.
Yes, you are right.
There’s a special magic to this song and I just can’t quite place it. Always puts me in a great mood.
Same here. It's a song that I've always loved, but never wore it out. So every now and then I'll listen to it again to get that feeling. I don't still love many of the songs I did 20 years ago, so this one is special.
Me too😀
Magic is the word I use to describe it too, it’s just beautiful.
just heard an interview with the lead singer on the grant random show on sirius and he said he was a mess when he was drinking he has been sober for like 16 years or so and life is awsome now
To me it was instant. In my interpretation, without wanting to know all the words.
It's about the circle of life. Reincarnation. Take a picture cause i won't remember.
You are born and then realize it's an illusion and you're not alone.
If god was a person, he would be alone.
90s music videos were something else, so surreal and full of fantasy and warped perception.
As an 80's child and metal head I normally wouldn't like a song like this...but the musicianship / execution / structure of this song is just captivating...and while the lyrics / vocals dont seem award-winning , they are truly mesmerizing...this song really stands out for me - I have to admit this band is extremely and extraordinarily talented !!
It's a pretty odd departure from their industrial rock and grunge roots.
80s child, nice. Hope you enjoyed your diaper sessions in the 80s 😂 Gen Xr who was an adult in the 80s, you Millennials missed out!
These lyrics are outstanding and I'm a 70s child
Lyrics are the best.
The instrumentals flow perfectly. And it has that nostalgic touch for me too. From one metal fan to another lol
There’s few songs that really hit me and make me think about life the past, present and future but this is definitely one of them.
Got me wandering how I can “feel like a newborn” which in my interpretation means experiencing something brand new to you.
True 👍 Great song 🎵
I’m with you there, I’ve struggled all my life, and this one, instant tears.
The juice is definitely worth the squeeze on this jam.
Always know if the juice is worth the squeeze
girl next door 😀
@@jvl3097 you damn skippy
The quality of this video is amazing.
It's the year 2023 and I'm still listening to this amazing song. What a great band filter is.
Same!
Same dude
Same 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I am also listening in 2023. 😊
Same
This is one of those songs that takes me right to a very specific point in time. I haven’t listened to this song in probably 20 years. Gives me goosebumps.
Im making my morning coffee listening to it -waking up with it in ny head...after not hearing for 20 years. im bawling 😅😂 ❤
This is a song you can play 10,000 times a day and still gives you goosebumps
Yes !!! Yes kicking n screaming!! Lol thank you all for this!!!
I won't remember right nowww !!! Lol
Yeah there are so many i miss, this song was part of my life and theirs too, i never thought i would be the Last Man standing....
Every time!!
Me too
Lots of feelings attached to this song...
At the moment, my mom suffers from Alzheimer's. When i visit i take pictures so i can later show her the things we do. She doesn't remember longer than a few minutes, So she enjoys seeing the pics of what we do.
"You wanna take my picture cause i wont remember"
I reluctantly excepted my new role in her life so i also relate to the line,
"i feel like a new born kickin and screaming"
I love this song even though it leaves me feeling a bit melancholy.
"Hey Dad, what do you think about your son now?" These are heavy words attached to heavy feelings.
You have no idea!
❤
@TJ Crockett Nice!
@TJ Crockett He'll be here long after you & every one You know before He picks us out one by one!
@Wankshaftsbury this song is about him being drunk and getting naked on a plane.
I saw these guys in Iraq while deployed back in 2010. Richard wasn't really feeling the crowd. I wasn't really supposed to be at the show, but I'd been a fan for nearly a decade. I remember before this song was played, he gave a little insight on what it meant to him.
At the end of the show, I stayed for the autograph. I was pushing it by then, but I really wanted to meet the band. I recall laughing at how giddy everyone was. Then it was my turn. I looked Richard right in the eyes and I froze for what seemed like forever. He asked me if I was alright. I was speechless. Completely awestruck. He came around and gave me a big hug and signed a photo for me.
I'll never forget that day. I've since lost the photo, but I'll always have the memory.
Such a memorable, nice story, thank you ❤️
Yes - what is the meaning of these lyrics - driving me crazy! This song is deep in my soul....
What an awesome, AWESOME story!
I was in the Army also. OEF 05-06.
Where were you supposed to be in you dont mind me asking? Would be crazy if it was tower guard lol
the real pictures in life are exactly that...the memories
This song make me feel like a teenager again. I miss the old days of good music.
Amen
Drove 8 hours to see my boyfriend and another friend when this came out...this song played over and over. Man, I want those days back!
lots of good tunes still being created.
Same here, I was in 7th grade when this song came out. I remember watching it in VH1.👍🏻
I remember being in my dads pick up driving up to ocean city on a summer day and this song was blaring on the radio while going down highway I felt like i was in a dream. This song brings back sooooo many memories
bands like these makes 90's music great and unforgettable...
I completely forgot about this song until it popped up on the radio...now, i've been playing it on repeat and still not tired of it
Ngl song makes me sad reminds me on how short life
I saw Filter Live in Washington October 2023! And they played this song! One of my favorites!
This video is such a perfect depiction of how depression and adhd make me feel - like I’m underwater and nothing is quite attainable. This song came out the year before my boyfriend killed himself and I remember hearing it shortly after his death and it just hit so hard 💔 he did not live up to his dads expectations either :(
1:10 "Feel so real" in the high register. Just 8 seconds of pure beauty, preparing you for the chorus. Ah! So good!
Such a masterpiece.
Memories.... I miss those times....no facebook no Twitter no Snapchat..
J.M.H.S Ditto.
I dislike all social media.
J.M.H.S it’s 2020 and I have no twitter or Facebook or Snapchat....
its a choice to have facebook, twitter and snapchat you dumbass.
Internet broke those good days
It's odd, and comforting, to find yourself coming back to certain songs decades later that resonate more than what's released today. The band playing on top of the floating house will forever be an image in my mind.
*released
@@Ultamami Good catch. Thanks.
Song makes me sad about life and my future truly reminds my on his short life is
Yesssss...!!!!
This song always reminds me of my mate Jeff. I was living in his house with him and another mate back around year 2000. He had this cassette and used to love it. He died of a brain aneurysm some years ago. RIP Jeff
"Hey, dad, what you think about your son now?" This is the phrase that has always cut me sharp. My father was murdered when I was one year old. I barely remember him. I listened to this song for the very first time when I was in high school. It caught me immediately. Up to now, I still wonder what my dad thinks about his son now. Greetings from Mexico.
César Adrián Flores Martínez that’s heartbreaking, sorry
I think that phrase resonates in alot of our hearts . This is one of the most moving lyrics I've ever heard .
I'm so sorry, love to you brother
Can i ask you what happened to your Dad ? Iam sorry for you
so sorry my friend for your loss. my dad was takin when i was young too. sucks god bless
I remember waking up early in the morning to hear this song on MTV. This song is just so beautiful. I love it. Always will.
Ikrrrr and this feels like a great morning wake up song every thing feeling so right and good knowing you’re gonna have a great day
Yeah, Danielle you never get tired of this song !!!! Great Song, one of my favorite songs of all - time !!!!
in the morning with this wailing..?
@@chaz7608Yup.
A song that helped me get through my mid-teens when it came out. God I miss the 90's. I would die right now if I could go back to 1998 & keep the wisdom and lessons I've learned since then. Take another crack at life starting from that warm and soft blanket that was the late 90's..
“Warm and soft blanket” is the perfect way to describe the 90s. Tender, innocent, sincere.
I agree with you but we have to somehow impart our wisdom with the teens of today.
@@esoterium22they don't listen. 😢
But would it trigger a butterfly effect?
i’d give anything to go back to the 90s also, shit
Another beautiful example of the common 90s production style of mixing distorted guitars with clean acoustic guitar chords. The 90s truly were a special time for music. Filter totally holds the fukk up!!
You have no idea how much this song means to me. I can't count how many times I've listened to it. I feel like crying because it is so freeing and gives me hope. It is an outlet and helped give me courage coming out of an abusive and oppressive situation. Thank you a million times Filter and more. Your music is life saving. It has been with me through the chaos of my adolescence and now in my thirties it is more relevant than ever. Love and gratitude to you always. ❤️
I'm 55 and what wisdom this song is telling us ✌️God Speak 😇😊
My parents would play this song all the time when I was a kid. Hearing this gives me vivid memories of me hanging out in their bedroom as my mom folded clothes
🥴👌
Sounds lovely.
Simple memories as a child like that is the best. I wish I was a child again.
You're Parents were cool 😎
That’s awesome, I was prolly in high school when this came out but great song no doubt.
love late 90's bands. vertical horizon,filter,creed,fuel. good times.
IKR. Miss them bands
indubitably... amazing, memorable, magical, surreal times.... on so many levels!!
i'd live 96-99 over & over eternally... my life & times matched the mood of the musical era, in every fantastic way imaginable.
LET'S GO BACK!!
ha ha ..
Klayton Von Kluge well said. My sentiments exactly, word for word...
matt west ~ we need a time machine, man! You can start me off at around the winter of '95, or the spring/summer of '96... i'm ready!
Filter is one of those bands that makes a seamless transition from heavier, moodier stuff to a lighter, more introspective vibe seemingly easy...
"Hey Man, Nice Shot"
is worlds away, musically, conceptually, and lyrically from "Take A Picture"
(Just my humble opinion)
one of the greatest songs ever recorded…
the memories with this one hit like a bullet train… thank you… i’ll never forget those days… i love you…
Music is the closest time travel we have 😭🙏
Nicely put!
IvY Gaming here, here.
This is deep. ❤❤❤
You got that right, man how I miss the 70s, it was a great time to be a teenager, straight up!
Amen. Music brings me to memories, feelings, sensations I hadn't thought of in years. You're spot on.
Knowing the meaning of the song and spending years in the same situation makes this the best song I have or ever will hear. I've been sober for 2 years and will never go back to that life.
Proud of you, as someone who struggles with similar issues. It’s not easy to keep facing the pain over and over without running away into a substance. I understand and I think what you’ve done for yourself requires a strength of the soul. That’s special. Keep going.
I’m 17 and I found this song randomly but this song is probably one of the best I’ve ever heard from the 90s, It’s so good.
I’m 29 and it’s a banger buddy
glad you found it!! This one is one of there most popular along with "Hey Man, Nice Shot" Im sure you've heard that one before its a masterpiece
american cliche is a banger too
Learn to play it dude. 👌🏻
Theres nothing quite like a song about getting hammered on an airplane, stripping naked, throwing a fit, and getting arrested.
I never knew that this was the same band that did "Hey Man Nice Shot." Now I know! Those are two banging songs!
I was going to comment something similar! I don't even know when it first came out, it just seems to have been around awhile! Searched up some of the lyrics and was like "wow! Filter!"
That’s some great diversity. One song is almost a dark rock song and the other is just an amazing chill out song.
Man does this hits home, such a beautiful song. I remember being young and hearing this and just being so optimistic about the future and all of the things I could and/or would do.
Good for you keep that!!
Makes me feel old but strong
Still sounds awesome today
This song really makes me think about life and the future ahead of me
I hope everything turned out for the best for you 😊
Tris song is magic🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
my mom was obsessed with taking pictures of our family as i grew up. it got annoying when i was a teen and twenty something. then she got cancer and died age 53 in 2010. i have her massive collection of photo albums and im thankful. so many amazing pictures.
That's awesome. Just make her proud . Live your life to the fullest . Go change the world.
Make a difference in someone lives ✌️life is too short
Ah 😢 I’m 53 and having slight memory issues and so sad I didn’t take more pictures of my kids growing up. I treasure the ones we do have. Love to you and all!

i recorded this song off the radio onto a cassette tape along with all my other favorites from the 90's, i wish i still had that tape.
I’m not sure how a song manages to make me both happy and sad at the same time. Great song from a great band.
Definitely a special kind of mixed emotions
Yes!😃👍
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “The Wave Acoustic” by SLT 🤘🐺🤘
I knew it was released it 99. The whole “the world ending “ was crazy during that yr because of the next yr 2000- wow - time fukn flies.
Same here
I ran into a CVS last week and this song was playing. I was so taken aback lol. Time felt like it froze for a minute while I was there
I was in the marines in 1999, I remember my dad driving me back to camp Pendleton after being home on leave. This song came on the radio and I was sad because I missed home already. It's amazing how songs bring back memories.
Thanks Vinnie for the memories that you shared. For me, certains songs or tracks bring back sweet memories. I can literally remember what I was doing when a certain track was released. I was a teenager in the eighties and I love tracks and songs from the nineties too. This track by Filter was released when my first marriage was coming to an end. But, now years later, this song brings me joy...regards from Australia Vinnie...
I'm sure your father was very proud of you ❤️
vinnie ortega thank you for your service bro, for real - international respect from here in Australia
Thank your dad for serving god bless👍🇺🇸
Vinnie much love and respect sempa fi!! You made us and your folks proud!!
Richard Patrick looks like a man i dated for 7years. I loved him so much and i probably always will. Such fond memories. We did everything together, more or less, joined at the hip. Even though we went our separate ways, a part of me will always love him.❤
THANK GOD!! After years of tracking i finally found this song. :) I first heard this 4 years ago on a radio station called 93 Rock in Florida. :) I had this stuck in my head all that day :) the next day i forgot the name of it :P. here i am 4 years later lol :P
funny i went to HS in fla. when this came out and i had to wake up super early to get ready, at 4am MTV still played videos. this was one of them. never forgot.
I'm glad this music is transcending generations because you are obviously a youngster (not a bad thing, I just grew up with this band among others). The 90's were really the last bastion of good rock music. Rockstars were still rockstars.
Congrats on finding out the song name!
Now can anyone tell me where I can find the version on VH1 where they played pop-up video and used this song?
It was really cool, as they used mugshots (pictures) from famous people throughout the whole video! Including Bill Gates!
You should of taken a picture.
LOL
I remember hearing this on the radio in 1999, it's been my favorite song ever since.. Thanks Filter !!❤
Brings me back to the 90s.....God I miss those days
I'd be honored if some classic 90s fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of Mmm Mmm Mmm by the CRASH TEST DUMMIES, Bittersweet Symphony by THE VERVE, and Long December by the COUNTING CROWS on my YT channel in tribute to 3 great 90s standards. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Thanks and peace out.
You and me both
Such great songs ...bring back some great memories
@@gabrielthivierge7719 brings back the truth for my son. Hey Dad what'ya think of
your son NOW?
If you loved the 90s you would have lost it in the 80s lol
I can't stop listening to it
Me either!!
It's a great song!! Reminds me of my 20s, married kids, and youth!
Still brings me to tears all these years later. Makes me think of my father and the plane crash that killed both him and my Mother in 1988. What a power music has to evoke such intense feelings and memories.
My condolences bro :(
+BrandtArt66 Couldn't have said it better. Brought a tear to my eye as well...
Word...
Respect 👍
Hey dad!!!
I cried the first time I ever heard this song in 1999, sitting in my Firebird, alone and just bought the CD. In 2021 I still love the song!
Man I’m 16 right now and I love this song. The chorus makes me think of what it was like for people in the 90s and how it’s gonna be for me in 30 years. Good song
Enjoy your youth man. I'm 39 and It goes by fast. Everyone always told me these exact words and its happened.
It's all downhill from where you're at.
Stay 16 as long as you can man,I know it seems like getting older will be fun and you can do alot more but every single person in their 40s like me will do anything to be 16 again.

@@Partypanther-tq3nf good luck man and do everything to stay young man.16-22 are gonna be your best years of your life,even if they suck to you at the time.some advice. Your biggest regrets aren't gonna be the stuff you did it's gonna be the things you didn't do.so Always think real hard before you do something and think if you are gonna regret it or regret not doing it.im 40 and the things that keep me up at night are the things I didn't do,the stuff I did I don't think about it at all.again good luck man and make your life count.
This song will always be something special. ❤
This amazing song deserves so much more than 13 million views
Yes!!, 👍😉
Perhaps it has well over 50 million hears
That means over the last 9 months the views have grown by 3 million. Considering this was uploaded over 10 years after this song’s peak, 16 million views ain’t too shabby. If TH-cam had been around in 1999, I’m sure this would easily have over 100 million views.
it deserves more than 16M
Richard Patrick telling the story behind this stream-of-conscious song: He recalled: "There was no thought behind it. It was off-the-cuff. It was emotional. I was so lonely. When you drink, you feel cut off from everybody. The isolation is wild. You isolate yourself, but then you realize you're left all alone. I'd get in trouble. I got arrested, but I was taken to a psych ward."
"That was the second time I had an issue on airplane," he continued. "I was like, 'I bet my dad's going to be proud of this!' There's that song, 'Dad, I'm In Jail.' 'Take A Picture' was my homage to that. 'Hey dad, what do you think about your son now?' is a double entendre. Do you think my platinum records are cool? Do you think I'm a success? Do you know how much pain I'm in? Do you have any idea what's going on with me? I think everybody has that thing with their parents. They want to figure out their moms and dads."
Thank you for understanding
Thank you for the meaning of this song. It's exactly what my son is going through. He's a heroin addict and everytime he goes to jail he expresses the same feelings. His dad calls him a junkie and that he'll never be anything.
The "Hey dad, what do you think about your son now?" lyric i thought was about how he grew up jealous and being in his older brothers shadow, his brother being Hollywood actor Robert Patrick.
Dannie 27 him and his brother are VERY close.
@@JOHNizSiK were they close back then when he wrote the song? Im more talking about him and his fathers relationship compared to the relationship his father had/has with his movie/television star brother.
I'm shocked to say I just discovered this a few days ago and haven't stopped listening since.
What a great song.
Hey man, nice shot!
I remember listening to this song on the radio on the way home the day my Mom was moved to Hospice care. I guess it was her way of telling me that she is free now. No more pain. No more chemotherapy. I still get mixed emotions of joy and profound sadness when I hear this song. RIP Mom. You were a better mom than I ever deserved.
This song helped save my life in 2002 and is helping me again now. Words cannot express how much this song means to me. Rest in peace, Mike. You loved this song. Don't worry, I will remember ❤
I wish I could go back to this era. I was in my early 20's... I would go back and stay forever. It sucks so bad that we have to age !!
Yes, it does.
Really feeling this. Turned 43 a couple weeks ago. Miss my 20s. They were seriously the best.
I couldn't agree more! 1993 was awesome I was 23 and single! I would redo it all over again some parts!
@@sarahlitwiller7662 I just turned 50 this year couldn't celebrate it due to C19 reasons in Canada. This year sucked worse than 2020 when it first hit. 😕 Yet next year 51 will be reversed to 15 yrs Old!:)
Totally agree. I keep saying that, whenever I listen to these lovely songs from the early 200s and 90s. It hurts to live today.
March 2021 anyone? God, I love this song. I hear it am reminded that I love it, suddenly five years of life get in the way and go by in a flash, out of nowhere, I get reminded of this song on a night much like tonight, I listen to it about 15 times, suddenly five years of life go by, rinse and repeat....
Find something, anything that takes you out of the repetition. Boredom and routine are the biggest spirit killing activities I can think of. Only you can venture out to make it happen. I truly wish you well.
Here. Friend took his life. Im trying to silently hurt for it.
movement you just got to keep moving if you stop you die just keep moving
Just a beautiful song from the years gone by.... 90s was a creative decade. Wow! Takes me back........
The pre covid years...... the times when we were so long forward to what the future holds for us all. Listening to music like this before going to school, and after we got home, just so excited to finally become an adult....... only to miss the very thing that passed us by all along. Rest in Peace 1990-1999...... gone but never forgotten
Nicely said. The 90s were a great time, and these days I really wish I could go back and stay there.
Pre 911.
Man do you ever suck for bringing all the feelings back.
