Watched that episode 5 minutes ago

Coolest 90s song ever.
Time 10:20AM Thurs 7/23/20
After I was diagnosed with cancer, I started chemo immediately. This was 1998 and I was 13. This was the song playing on the radio when my mom and I left the hospital after the first day. I will never forget listening to it while driving (or crawling) down the 405 freeway in Santa Monica. It is truly a "period piece" for me, despite this being a one-hit wonder.

Glad you're alright xox

As a teen I spent years in a fairly traumatizing Psychiatric group home, my parents gave me up. My roommate used to sing this to me when I was scared and we were falling asleep. A small act of kindness that still makes me loved when I hear it 20 years later.
That is so sad..i wish you are in a good place
Fake
@@halwakka504 Not fake, unfortunately. From 1997 to 2002 I was in a group home in Leesburg Virginia and then one in Louisville, TN. I was barely 13 when they gave me up.
@@TheMaiah13 I'm ok now, this was back in 1997 right after my 13th birthday. So a long time ago, but this song brings me back. That act of kindness and friendship meant alot to me during an otherwise awful time.
@@justineglickman thats good to hear! Take care. That year was also traumatic for me as I was in an abusive relationship at that time. Were survivors! Wish you all the best.
Am I the only person who misses music from the mid 90s till 2000? 😂
45 years old as of yesterday and I still listen to stuff from the same era. Most new music is absolute crap man.
Oh no way dude!! Read the comments for almost any song from this era and you'll find loads of people reminiscing! I, too, much prefer it. (Though tbh not this song much.) Even going into the early 2000's is so positive for me (though admittedly that pop became a bit of a different animal.)
Shortly after 2000, "music" switched from being made by artists to being made by "performers". Rap/Hip-Hop and "pop" music killed the art.
Lady Gaga (whose _real_ name is Stehanie something) was an exceptional artist who only became popular after transforming herself into a weirdo wearing dresses made of meat to draw attention to herself.
I remember this song played on MTV, and I liked some special feeling of that time it gave me, I remember that morning, people around me, some small stuff we did together and the song in a small TV
I'm 60...trust me, I missed a bunch of decent artists.
90’s through 2010 then it all started going downhill.
My Dad use to sing this to me when i was a little girl...sure do miss that old man. Fly high Daddy Rockabye💔

I don't know if its just me but the 90s were awesome, like 1000 times better then today.
agreed
90s? How about the 60s and 70s, back when we hung out with folks like Dennis Hopper and Bob Seger and Sonny and Cher?
Yeah I miss the 90's
Tin Man than*
Then today.....?
I know things won't be all right, but sometimes it's nice to hear Shawn say it.
Yes it is....
This song always plays right when I need it.
How are things now man? Been two years..
They will, actually. Sometimes it’s uplifting to know it, sometimes it’s depressing to know it: but everything is definitely gonna be alright.

It was '98 or '99. My friends and I were in high school, and unpacking in our hotel room at a convention. The beds had this odd built-in radio between them. I remember folding clothes and listening to this song through the old speakers. I remember the anticipation of meeting the beautiful girl I only got to see a couple times a year at those conventions. I remember being young, with everything ahead of me. That's a moment I'd revisit in a heartbeat.
Mate, thanks for sharing this memory!
Mid 90s to early 2000s had the best alternative rock hits
I fell in love with this song when it came out. The nostalgia makes me wanna cry. Brings back so many memories from a time when things were so simple.
You comment is exactly how i feel . I miss the 90’s . I miss being young . I want to go back to the 90’s . Best years our life !!! Makes me cry to
Nostalgia has essentially become like porn. A politically broken society gives you Hell to sell you nostalgia.
I feel the same.
@@JP-ks9nh SO TRUE!! THE 90'S WERE TRULY GOOD 😊 THINGS ARE SOO DIFFERENT THAN THEY USE TO BE...
I just heard this on the overhead speakers in my supermarket. Never heard it before. I just turned 65 a week ago; hardly the target demo but I love it. Wish I could rewind to February 2020 or earlier before this country went to hell.
born in 88; I recently re-discovered this song and had it on repeat; just completely took hold of me and took me back to another place in time. 90s were something
❤ 🎵🎶
Rick Dees Top 40 jogging at 7:30am on a Saturday.
I was in 4th grade at halloween when this came out, born in 88 too of november
If you were born in 88, you would been 10 years old as this song came out in 1998. I was in high school, was junior year when I heard this.
1998
Anyone here in 2021? I'm just here wishing I could time travel back to the early 1990's. Where I felt safe and shit was normal. Music is as close as I can get to time travel. 🎶🎶🎶
Got that right! I was listening to Bob, Led Zep, Def Leppard, the Doors, etc etc in the '70's & '80's, and as crazy as things seemed then, I'd gladly go back!
@@megamonkeyblaster3627 shit... you got that right!!!
AGREED!!!!
🎧🎶🎵👍
Oh yeah, awesome time, freedom crazy sh*t, awesome music, 90s, what else can you say?
Shouts out to you if your here trying to make it through a depressive bender. I’m here with you and I know what you’re going through
I suddenly just remembered this song existed. Glad I found it
A co-worker just reminded me yesterday. It's been stuck in my head since. Had to hear it.
Same here, just happenned to me 5 minutes ago and I found it. I was a teenager in Lima - Perú and there was this radio station where they would play it a lot...Memories.
Me too
i came to stumble it on my friends saved songs so count me in too
I never could quite define this song. Its also a oft played CVS radio song.
Rediscovered this masterpiece recently. Lost my partner to brain cancer in 2010, but I still dream about playing this for her again one day.
Haven't heard this tune in like 15 years and it just showed up, swirling around in my brain. So here I am
Two years ago for me and I haven't stopped listening to it since.
Me too last night at work
Gosh same 👍🏼👍🏼
Heyyyy same! Haven’t heard it in years
Yeah. Just lived a little of this the last three days
Pure 90s. One of my favourite tracks back in the day. Brings back a lot of good memories. Hello from Ireland!
Hello from Virginia... Maiden name Dooley❤
@@melissaarcher256 .. du très bon rock ! 🎸 Comme l'était la musique de ces années LÀ ! .. ✨
The 90’s was definitely something special for music. Reading everyone’s comments and being able to relate to all of them in some form of way, makes me believe that we’re all sharing and reminiscing on similar memories.
It's blessings for everyone
I think it's a combination of popular music was better & took more chances, it was pre 9/11 and pre social media and it was the time most of us were youngins and growing up. It's easy to reminisce about those times because they were simpler.
Nostalgia has essentially become like porn. A politically broken society gives you Hell to sell you nostalgia.
It truly was an amazing time to grow up and this era of music had such wide variety and extremely great talents that some made it big and some faded too but some those not so known bands were super famous with just one song or just a handful and this is a beautiful classic!!!
That title belongs to the #80s!
"I can't Think. I need more Mullins"
+Mike Rundle MICHAEL SCOTT FROM DUNDER STIFFLIN!
that's exactly why I'm here
+Lauren Griffin oh god me too.
That brought me here lol
... lol ..yup
90' music had a way of healing from messed up youth filled with some sort of abuse that scars so many people sadly today's music couldn't heal a upset stomach
Angsty 90s kids turned to music, angsty 20s kids turn to tiktok and twitter 😩 yikes...
So very true. There were so many addressing abuse, drug addiction, lonliness, etc.
I still love this song. I miss the 90's.
I’ll say it again, the 90’s was the last decade of great music 🎶
Okay maybe I should sue Shawn Mullins for breach of contract? He promised me everything was going to be alright.
AWESOME SONG
I'm with you on that.
Lol
that's because it is my dear.
@Billie Jo also said that all he really knows is that they dont really care about us.
What is it MJ, wtf is the deal here.
Love it! lol
I have had his voice stuck in my head for five years and couldn't find this song until now I am the happiest man on earth.
Yeah , I quoted the chorus to google thank goodness im hearing it now =))
I'm so happy for you-- it came to me today randomly and I feel your joy
Good for you dude!!!
A college friend of mine, then the head of a major broadcasting company in Munich, brought this song back to Germany from a trip to the U.S. and had his DJs play it. It became a huge hit. A little later, the station brought Shawn in for a few smaller concerts. I saw him and his stunning band in Munich: they were awesome. Nothing came of Shawn's international career, probably because he was a rather introverted shy man, at least at that time. He was all about the music, never about the whole business. From the meet and greet I remember him as a very nice, polite, modest guy. I think he's still active in the club scene in and around.
He's a Munchen kinder now! 😊
Usually one hit wonders type artists are the ones who refused to sell their souls ❤
That's somewhat true. Another interesting things about this time is that there was a huge push throughout the industry to find new alternative bands to turn into the next big time--a lot of them appeared for a song or so, haha
He’s probably better off not having been mega-famous.
1998 was a traumatic year for me and my family. So when this song came out it was perfect timing for me personally. All I wanted was to hear was that everything was going to be OK. I've listened to it a lot over the last 24 years. Love it!
I always get goosebumps when he sings the chorus during the bridge. Another timeless classic.
ME TOO ❤️🔥❗❗❗

You can't get music like this these days. Whether you like it or not you've got to admit that the 90s had some of THE GREATEST songs of the era
the 90's were awesome but there is still plenty of decent music coming out. Thing is now,you have to look for it.
If you want music from actual instruments and story telling of your personal history and your traumas to be pacified, found it 😋🐱
Beabadoobee... Check her out
90s is what brought all the new genres to date! Nothing beats the 90s as far as exploration and new beginnings of music. Today's music doesn't have that genre bending and new beginnings.
survivorship bias
3:23 this part is one of most mesmerising, relaxing, calmest and comfortable moments in any song I know
Instant calm from anxiety
I can't think. I need more Mullins.
This song seems both comforting yet sorrowful at the same time. The music video really emphasizes that, too!
uh huh.
Shawn was a late 1990's hero....lets keep his VEVO going for him. He spent alot of time in dive bars building his career, so give him a like, it may make him a dollar. I really like all of Shawn's stuffl.
Thanks.. Shawn 🙄
because he needs money lol.
1998, I was in 4th grade. I called into the local radio station after my parents went to sleep to request this song. I sat with my cassette ready to record. It was too late, I fell asleep. I woke up in the middle of Lullaby, sad I couldn't record it, happy I could still hear the rest of the song.
Story of my life-- hoping u r well and sending good vibes
Imagine growing up in a time when they made good music like this. Priceless.
It wasn't just in one genre either, it was all of them. When artist and producers would have sessions together. They really came up with the most experimental and captivating sounds that just pulled every inch of the soul. That was my type of music.
I think that's what it takes to have a timeless masterpiece.
fact: anybody who listens to this will get nostalgic about the 90s.
Yep! 👍
So true ! The 90's were the best! I miss them days :)
TDTam11 shutup
Holy fuck, do I ever miss the 90s! :-\
it´s like a small travel to the past :)
Ahhh missed this song. Makes me wanna have a cold beer in the middle of the week. Missed the 90's man
Damn I miss the 90’s. The best decade of music and the best decade to grow up in
For real Tim. *THE LAST GREAT DECADE!*
Everything since 2002 has been the *MATRIX* ON STEROIDS!
Definitely Tim. I'm a child of the 70s and 80s. Most of my peers say that the 70s was the best for music. But I tell them that the 90s were. Easy listening to metal and everything in between, the major stations were paying a mix of pop, rap, blues, country, hard Rock, big band/Ska, punk, alternative, etc. More musical diversity than any other decade ever...
@@davelaneve2446 easily
It was OK, the 70's was the best, hands down. Ask anyone who was there, they'll tell you so.
@@davelaneve2446 You should listen to your peers. Diversity is a weakness.
Needed to hear this tonight. one of those nights where the tears just won't stop and you have no one to talk to let alone understand. Music helps soothes the soul ♥
That is me, tonight. I hope you're doing better, by now. Much love from this stranger who came to the same song for a sense of comfort and release. All the best to you. 🙏💞
Sending you many hugs and love your direction ♥ I'm not doing much better, but I do feel better knowing that I am not alone ♥@@bluedropsofglass5957
It sure does. Hope you find peace.
Anyone listening in 2024 overcome by nostalgia?
YES
Me
Umm of course why wouldn’t you???
I remember watching/Listening to this on VH1 when it first came out.
Yes.
ANOTHER 90s song I forgot GAHHH!!! Bring the 90s back!
This song is so underrated
agree....
I was born in 1987 and the rock music in the 90’s was awesome. Lots of great tunes and one hit wonders. 90’s was a great decade
When my wife and I were first married and pregnant with our first child we thought my wife was going into preterm labor. She called me while I was at work panicked and I told her I would head home and take her to the hospital. On my way home I was getting pretty worked up and this song started playing on the radio. Made me a bit more emotional, but I somehow knew deep down things would be alright. 15 years later my daughter is doing well and learning to drive. She's a pain in the butt, but I love her.
This song peaked #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1999
Damn I miss those emotional years so much❤ 2024
If you’re here because of Michael Scott, that’s means that you did something amazing in your life: you have arrived at the sixth season of the office, GOOD JOB💪❤️
trying to finish it again before it goes off netflix
Nope.. Just reliving the days I used to record songs like this off MTV with my Fisher Price tape player w the plastic microphone cuz CDs were too expensive for an 11 year old girl back in 1998!!🤣🤣📻🎤🎶😭😭
i knew and liked this song before, but yes Michael Scott brought it back to my attention :)
Thank you!!!!
Is that supposed to be an accomplishment? lol
They play this at my job. I take it as a sign to keep going on no matter what. It helped me through my childhood. I had an abusive father. This song gave me hope. It still does.
Love you Ash.
I went through something similar. Now my father's dead. We've seen our share of devils, Ash. Hold your head up high. Everything's gonna be alright..
I love how this song is a story.
I love Shawn Mullin's voice.
I love this video.
I love how my memories of the 1990's flood back when I listen to this..
Me too. Beautiful song. I love the 90s so much.
Love was so intense, I remember mtv on full blast listening to this waiting by the home phone for a call
The whole cd is good.
I love beer! 😂
This is why I love his lyrics. They are clear and tell a story. His velvety calming voice is memorizing. Can't wait to see him in CA in September. I'm from the UK and have waited decades for this moment.
I was shopping at Sprouts yesterday afternoon and this song was playing. I had forgotten this song. I had to come look for it on TH-cam.
I love this song. It's calming when nothing else works 💜
You have got this 👍
That is what I used it for when it came out. I heard it on Sirius Radio today. So here I am listgening again. This really saves me when life feels like it is falling apart.
This song takes me back when my wife and I were living in our first apartment that we lived in while we finished up college. It was cramped, the neighbors were jerks, and we had one tiny window air conditioner for the whole place....but we were happy. My how the years have gone by, haha:-)
I was a kid living in a small condo with my mom and brother while my dad was gone a lot for work. We made best friends with neighbor kids and had a blast with them. Everyone at school was super sweet to me even though I had an accent and developmental disorder. '98 was a fabulous year :).
Anyone still listening in 2020?
You bet
Always.
No. Just you alone.
Listening to this in 3,000 BC on my I stone
Oh yeah
Gorgeous melodic voice, and WOW what a storyteller. 2023, and this song still sounds timeless and amazing, which is truly the mark of a great song.

This is not just a one hit wonder... It's a little piece of heaven for all those going through $h!t storms...
Dennis Hopper and Bob Seager and Sonny and Cher...EPIC

This was a banger in the late 90s. It's still epic to this day. Proves that God made the world for the music. God doesn't care about anything else in the world, just the music.
Listening to this makes me miss everything about 90s..Good ol' days☺️
1998.
What a great music year!
Decade, mate, decade. >8^)
90's is a decade reference. 1998 is a year reference. But yeah, either way, every year within that decade pumped out some memorable tunes.
Absolutely! Also " Closing Time" by Semisonic " Save Tonight" by Eagle Eye Cherry and " Bitter Sweet Symphony" by the Verve, my favorite songs of 1998, and my favorite year of the 90's!
Heard this song when watching The Office. Michael Scott was sad in his office listening to it x'D
Life'sWhatever Micheal scott
Bakaray Guilbeaux, Life'sWhatever is right. Just looked it up, and it's "ae", not "ea".
One of the most underrated albums of the century. I still listen to the whole thing top to bottom
" She's seen alot of devils in this angel town"....great lyric
And we're seeing more nowadays.
When life was fun and the tunes were amazing! This was my song in 1998! Time flies by fast unfortunately! Miss my mom! RIP mom! 🙏🏻 ❤️🙏🏻
I have to listen to this song whenever I'm going through difficult times in my life. I tell myself, everything is gonna be alright. Not to mention, the nostalgic feeling it gives me is heart warming.
I remember the first time I heard this song I was blown away, The lyrics felt as if he knew me, and the song could have been written about my life, right down to the Los Angeles locations he mentions. That's the mark of an incredible storyteller. Watching the video now, two decades later, I still recognize the girl I was in the past - although she bares no resemblance to who I am now. We all grow up and move on, and for the most part, become who we were meant to be. Mad respect for Shawn Mullins. Such wonderful music!
Man, this song brought so much comfort to my broken adolescent heart..
Being one who grew up and became an adult in the 90's it felt different, we just embraced our time. Perhaps it's the same. but we were coming to the end of the century and people were enamoured with life ending and eternal life. I can't put my finger on it, but when i listen to 90s music, there is a soul to it i don't find with anything else.
The Office didn't bring me here... good memories of the late 90's did, but The Office just coincidentally reminded me again is all
The best memories......
Good, because that overrated show will ruin this song for anyone with better taste.
Me too.
Such a cool song. Reminds me of our glory years in the '80s & 90's - which we can all share:)
I'll never forget road trips with my friends, flipping channels to catch this, our favorite song on the car radio. This before internet radio, or cell phones could bring up any music you wanted at will. Elated to find it, we would all sing at the top of our lungs. It's crazy that we gauged the times and seasons in our lives by the few months of radio airplay, back then.
Damn Travis you calling out my age bro!
Remember dial up jist to get online?
I have been searching for this song for over 20 years. I had it on a SONY music cd that I lost in 2000. It was my soundtrack in the late 90s, the soundtrack of my youth. I found it today thanks to The Office series. I am very happy now.
This song is 100 times better if you picture a young Jack Nicholson singing it.
Omg 😂
👍
OMG I THOUGHT IM THE ONLY ONE
yikes i pictured him doing that as the joker. now im creeped out.
Liko Natera hahahahHa! just saw that as I read your comment! that's fantastic!
this song brings me to tears i dont know why,i think its beautiful !
Join the club
20 or so years since I heard this song. Just starting high school, falling asleep to songs like this on the radio…simpler times.
This song again shows why the 90's was the best time for all genres of music, hands down!
10 mil views? Thats all for this classic. I was literally having one of the hardest days i have had in years and then this song came to mind, i played and felt better for little while
This song has helped me during the hardest days of my life
'Even her smile looks like a frown'...this gets me smiling in return every time I listen to this masterpiece, after all, everything is gonna be alright!
this was my dads favourite cd when i was growing up. i can remeber so vividly driving up to huntsville, Ontario Canada when i was like 7 or 8. My dad threw this cd in the old cd player in his '94 ram and I enjoyed it so much - as a young boy. Today i'm 27. I have never stopped listening to this album throughout my 20's. All the songs start to mean so much more to you as you age. I think my dad connected with these songs on a personal level, almost like he left a story for me. I love you so much dad.
Same. My dad had a 97’ ram and we would play this song on a road trip together. Those were great times together.
@@Catinthehat788 To our dads 🍻
I am so fortunate to have been born at a time when I could experience the decades of popular music I have heard over the years. Beginning with the sixties and now currently. I have seen it change with the generations that remember the songs from their youth. Every decade has it's favorites. Every generation has a marker in time based on the songs they heard. One thing is certain, and true for myself, you don't appreciate what you are hearing at that time as much as you do now.
This song came out in 1998 and helped me w/ what I was going through at that time!! I was 28 and my boyfriend horribly physically abused me. He also held me " hostaged" in my own house!! One of his friends was even there and didn't do or say anything to help me!! I "Escaped!!"... I did follow through w/ the court to get him " convicted" and won. ( That was a whole year later!!!).... I never went back.. ( even to this day)..... This song helped me soooo much!!!! Even during today!! I hope this helps any of you if well... Whatever you're going through!! But most of all.... Do Not Put Up W/ Abuse!! Of any kind!! Take Care!!!
I sing this song while I'm driving😊💗 sweet song💕
Oh hey, it's that one song everybody called rockabye and nobody called lullaby.
This song....Canada... the last two years before the year 2k and me going back to my home country...High School... My friends, whom I've never seen in the flesh since then. Summer...."stealing" my uncle's car and driving along the neighboroud.... playing in that field not far from our house, cutting that 10 dollars in 3 pieces, promising each other to see one day again and reunite it.... those were the best days of my life.
One of my favorite songs from the 90s 🥰
I hope Shawn has another hit, because this is such a great song . So descriptive of the feelings this time in life. Thank you for this song
Thank you for highlighting my humble comment. 😇🌿❤💙😇🌿❤💙😇🌿❤💙😇🌿❤💙😇🌿❤💙😇🌿❤💙😇🌿❤💙😇🌿❤💙😇🌿❤💙😇🌿❤💙😇🌿❤💙😇🌿❤💙😇🌿❤💙😇🌿❤💙
Check the rest of this album out it is pretty amazing. You will not be disappointed
in 1998 i was 15 i use to walk my golden retriever around the subdivision at midnight singing this song out loud with my headphones on, all the houses were in darkness all was silent, little did i know there was a girl 2 streets over that use to wait up for me to come walking by and listen to me sing, one day she told me at the bus stop and i got so embarrassed, then she told me it was the best part of her day, and a couple other girls admitted to listening to me to, i had fans and i never even knew it, we ended up being togeather for 6 years.
thats a cool story man! very awesome song
thanks buddy, its all that comes to mind when i hear this tune.
yeah whenever I hear it I remember seeing the video the first time on vh1 like at the age of 11 :)
that made me cry happy tears. Thank you. :)
Kris Nordman thank you, glad i brightened someones day :)
Screw the office. I've been listening to this since I was in the back seat playing game boy. Traveling around my child hood town. Hanging out with my parents. It's crazy how times have changed. We've all grown up.
This song instantly brings me back to teenage memory.
I was in the end of my teens in 1998.. and dating two girls, who I loved both in different ways. This song makes me think of those days, Los Angeles, driving many, many miles.. finding my own niche in this world and finally not wanting to be anywhere else.
That kind of comfort is so truly priceless.
I normally don't share my most personal stories with anyone except those closest to me, which are getting fewer and farther between these days. However, I do feel the need to share this.
This song started hitting the airwaves around the time of my parents' divorce. I was 11 years old and felt overwhelmed by the changing circumstances. I felt that I had to come to terms with so many things in a short time. The music of the time was one of the few constants in my life, and this song stuck out to me lyrically, and I listened to it regularly, making those weekends with my drunken, abusive mother slightly more bearable.
At the time, I tried taking the refrain to heart, but I spent the next five years lashing out at the world. However, I have been harkening back to that as the years have gone.
Looking back, while the events of the time still stress me out, I'm at least glad that I was able to experience and appreciate the zeitgeist that was the 1990s.
You should be a writer. That was very well written and thank you for sharing your story

Thank you for sharing made me emotional as I went through the same at the same age & time too.❤
this song stuck out to me lyrically....Me too. Thanks for sharing. 'She feels safe in this bar on Fairfax.'
Just played this for my dog after being hit by truck. She LOVED it. Wish I could share a video of her reaction. She threw her head back in total bliss❤
2021 haven't heard this song for an eternity, it holds up well
Every time i listen to music, i praise being born in the 90's and influenced by the 70's and 80's due to my parents.
