I generally listen to hard rock but when this song came out in the '90's, Paula's voice and vocals on this song mesmerized me. This is one song I could listen too many times in a row and love it more.
Our generation came of age during a very fckd up time in history but our childhood (the 90s) was precious and beautiful. Probably the very last, great decade. When i think about stuff like this, i get both nostalgic and depressed because it takes me back to a time when things were more organic and innocent. Music now is so predictable it makes me sick, having everything ready at the palm of our hands has taken all inspiration out of it and nothing is spontaneous anymore.
My 7 year old daughter was singing this song when this came on last Sunday while I cooked her breakfast. I genuinely stopped and listened because she thought I wasn't looking. Great tune!
Such a beautiful song that came from a beautiful heart!!! I have nothing but praise for this gem. I love her voice, and the way she uses it musically for emotion!!!
The people who run the music industry dont want feel good music like 70s 80s and90s its controlled big time thats why we have to go back in time to get our heart felt music
Her voice and performances have this unmatched rawness, she goes straight to your heart. I love her. We (and the industry) are very much in need of this today. Thank you for uploading!

But this song grabs my soul.
Every Saturday morning on the sofa as a child. This song ❤
I miss Paula.... This song was released during my college Days.
such a great performance . thanks for sharing .
I’m 27 and I remember hearing it on Dawson creek as a kid. I stumbled across this video and it took me back to 7
This song is theme from "Felicity" too.

Me too, I also love where have all the cowboys gone
Rip chris.
Why I'm always crying every time I hear hear this song...

One of the most beautiful songs ever written.
Beautiful. Love the way she sways and smiles. Such a beautiful performance.
The first time I heard this song I had to stop and listen. So beautiful.
Yes sir!
And the ending in the album version is top notch. Very beautiful and melancholic
"Dawnson's Creek" Ahh....the 90's. Good old memories.
Unreal….. all over body goosebumps 👌
Still so relevant and beautiful.
Her This Fire album captures a moment in time- beautiful, emotive,timeless...
She's so free singing this live. I love it.
No auto-tune....not even a needed thing back then....
This song reminds me of the good old days.
really amazing how well this song's aged- so much talent
That beautiful, joyful smile she gives her bandmates near the end is so touching.❤️
Lyrically this is so beautiful. And the emotion she puts into it is heartrending and inspiring.
I was 11 yrs old in 90s when i first heard this song, up to now 2022, still one of my favorite to listen. 90s songs my all time favorite
this song reminds me of my beautiful and happy childhood😭😭😭😭😭
Love the way she plays the piano. ❤
Pure talent
That song is me when I left the service. It lives on in me. I told a few stories to my grand daughter and she told her teacher I was a hero.
They played this song HEAVILY in the late 90’s and I NEVER tired of hearing it.
my god her voice is incredible......its better live than studio.......timeless song
The lyrics... the artist... the meaning... the emotion... thank God for the 90s!!! Thanks paula: )
she one of the best modern times musicans! and damn she was sooo beautyful these days...wow!
Beautiful? lmao, no
@@srujan00 She was. Maybe not in a classic or model sense, but she was, especially because of the way she carried herself.
I always feel forlorn for the past and what the present is literally every single time I hear this song.
I need to be asleep, but I just couldn't resist. This song is timeless. Thanks Paula!
The most beautiful woman on the planet through my eyes. Love her voice and her pure heart.
Gorgeous woman for sure.
My 7 year old daughter was singing this song when this came on last Sunday while I cooked her breakfast. I genuinely stopped and listened because she thought I wasn't looking. Great tune!
Just saw her perform this song at the Luckman in Los Angeles in April 2024. Paula sounds even better!!
She truly is talented and can make songs on her own. The people being celebrated by Grammys nowadays are just trash and all done by collaborators
Growing up in the 90's era. Going back to memory lane.
Beautiful...I would have liked to heard MUCH more from Paula Cole. GREAT singer/songwriter.
Thank you for taking me back to a very special time in my life. Your music was definitely part of my 90s soundtrack.
Beautiful and so talented, Paula has the voice of an Angel. X
I love this song, haven't heard it in many many years!
Such an amazing voice
Beautiful voice!
Paula born to sing and connect to our hearts singer song writer
My goodness she is so beautiful. Wow.
Such a beautiful song that came from a beautiful heart!!! I have nothing but praise for this gem. I love her voice, and the way she uses it musically for emotion!!!
Born on june 1990...I just cant help but listening and fall in love to 90s music
It doesnt get any better than this.
Love this performance! Wish to have been there !!
She’s soooooo beautiful

I was 44 years old when she did this. I agree, "Curse you Father Time." lol
Agreed. I was 17, now I am 40.
I was 20 and 43 now.
The music is still great! I love it!
I was 46, now I’m 70.
Feels like had a electricity on my veins someone relate? Mid 90s teenage?

Indeed!
Me too!

TIMELESS vocals!
Dawsons was on itv2 in the uk last year and its back on now,love it

The people who run the music industry dont want feel good music like 70s 80s and90s its controlled big time thats why we have to go back in time to get our heart felt music
Amen !
90s was swarmed with many small independent music labels. That's why it was such a beautiful time for music.
Electronic drivel now
beautiful
Amazing!
Her voice and performances have this unmatched rawness, she goes straight to your heart. I love her. We (and the industry) are very much in need of this today. Thank you for uploading!

i was 5 years old that time very good memories of my childhood. .

What lovely hair she had.
She is so awesome
"I Don't Want To Wait"
So open up your morning light,
And say a little prayer for right
You know that if we are to stay alive
Then see the peace in every eye...
doo doo doo doo do doo do
do do doo doo doo doo dooo doo ooh
She had two babies, one was six months, one was three
In the war of '44...
Every telephone ring, every heartbeat stinging
When she thought it was God calling her
Oh, would her son grow to know his father?
[CHORUS:]
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over,
I want to know right now, what will it be?
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over,
Will it be yes or will it be...sorry?
doo doo oooh doo ooh do do ooh
He showed up all wet on the rainy front step
Wearing shrapnel in his skin
And the war he saw lives inside him still,
It's so hard to be gentle and warm
The years pass by and now he has granddaughters
[CHORUS]
You look at me from across the room
You're wearing your anguish again
Believe me I know the feeling
It sucks you into the jaws of anger(oooooooh)
So breathe a little more deeply my love
All we have is this very moment
And I don't want to do what his father,
And his father, and his father did,
I want to be here now
So open up your morning light,
And say a little prayer for right
You know that if we are to stay alive,
And see the peace in every eye...
[CHORUS x2]
doo doo doo dooo oooh do dooo doo
doo doo doo dooo do doooo oooh
doo doo doo do dooo do do
So open up your morning light,
And say a little prayer for right
You know that if we are to stay alive
Then see the love in every eye...
my all time favorite... cant forget this song.. 💕💕💕
Grew up thinking a wild guitar solo was the be-all of music, then I grew up.
Even when you hear her today, she sounds the same. Live or recorded!
3:37 that vocal agility!
Incredible. Instant goosebumps.
My favorite female singer feeling in every note
Just heard this song on the 📻 love it and love Dawson's Creek
Stunning....
She's so beautiful...
I love her smile
Love Paula Cole n' this beautifull song ❤️❤️❤️🤗😘😘😘
Best voice I ever heard ...

Pure talent!
Great version - sounds like a kitchen party! Bet they love this version back in Rockport! Mrs. Potter is smiling somewhere!
Such a great song!!!!
Back in '97 I had a big crush on Paula Cole. After searching for good live performances from the 90's and stumbling upon this, I realized I still do.
Have you seen her lately??
@@alexnutcasio936 Father Time is an ass hole but I'll always remember her from 1997.
So extremely underated she is
