Lyrics:
"Iris"
And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't wanna go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
When sooner or later it's over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am - เพลง
I listened to this song as a child, a teenager and now as an adult. I don't think I'll ever get tired of hearing it.
Chelsea Peck me too 😭
Just found out their going to be 30 minutes in concert from my house I think I'll get tickets takes me back
@@gailhill4881 their concert is 30 mins duration, or 30 mins from your home
Definition of a timeless song.
Yup
@@DaniellaConte loved it instantly the moment I first heard it.
@@Abhishek.Basnyat me too, I can listen to it a million times and not get the slightest bit sick of it at all
Yes
Should still hold that record..💖🇬🇧
"That's the essence of being human. Experiencing the high parts and low parts. And accepting the low parts. You may not like them, but you have to accept them." Powerful words from a gem of a human being.
This song is one of the greatest of all time
Night Rider no it isn’t
Black Balloon is definitely better, but this is still one of the defining songs of the 90s
Night Rider Yes it is, my favorite song since it came out...resonates throughout life....
@@thomasedmundrichards it is
Definitely. Agree 100%.
Fun fact:
The mandolin parts as well as the slide guitar solo during the bridge were all written and played right there on the spot by Tim Pierce, who is one of the greatest session players alive. He claims to have done all of those parts in one or two takes each. They literally make the whole song come to life.
hearing him explain how he made the song and what its based on really establishes the fact that reznik is just a genius song writer, singer and composer. LEGEND
They should have won the grammy
Yeah they should’ve but Celine Dion who recorded a song for another soundtrack also blew up that year. It was gonna be unanimous who was gonna win Record Of The Year in 1999.
I’d say it should’ve been an Oscar nominated as well in 1999.
Best Original Song.
Meh. The award is irrelevant to how amazing Iris is as a song. Unfortunately the majority of people have poor criteria for what makes an amazingly written song.
Agreed.
well the grammy choose some wack songs than this master piece
"How can you get sick of a gift?" Ooh 💜
Exactly how a parent feels about their child. ♥️
This song changed my life. No song will ever reach out to me the way Iris has, and after 20 years, and hearing it thousands of times, it’s still as beautiful as the first day I heard it. BDDDDD for the win.
Honestly one of the best song writers of our time.
underrated
Johns voice is angelic
Ed might have broke the record.. but he will never touch the legacy or iris.
Iris is such a beautiful heart felt song. Try as I might, I just can't play it like they did on this record. Even with the correct guitar tuning. It's just magical.
Easy to break a record when 20 years adds a billion humans to the population. It's a numbers thing. Iris is miles above in quality
Ed sheeran who?
Ed is already in the top 20 of best selling artists of all time. Goo goo dolls are nowhere to be seen. I appreciate the respect for the band and the song it's true they're awesome.
But don't compare with ed he's miles ahead😂😂
@@shaneward7836 are you drunk? Goo goo dolls are still legends. Ed is talented but nothing he produces touches the greats of the goo goo dolls.
You should have definitely won the Grammy. I'm an Ed fan but he could never beat this song or any GooGoo Dolls song! Love you guys❤
I agree. They were up against My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion who won
Even if this song isn't from my time, it's still my favorite. Wonderful lyrics and instrumental. I can feel like I'm part of the story.
It's still my favorite song of all times ♡
Eternity.
I was once told by a guy in a really famous band, when I told him exactly that about one of this songs that “that’s the biggest accolade that any songwriter could aspire to” - and I really agree.
I heard Iris for the first time at someone's house when I was 7 years old. I don't even remember whose house it was. All I remember is Iris playing on someone's big screen tv. I loved it so much. I turned to my mom and asked who the band was. She said the Goo Goo Dolls. Later that month, my grandmother took me to FYE. I bought Dizzy Up the Girl, and they've been my favorite band since!
ParanormalTV 💕💕💕
The song has certainly been a part of MY life. Thank you for Iris.
Hearing John describe the structure of the song with the lyrics puts City Of Angels in a new light for me.
I may have to watch that film again.
One of my all time favorite bands!! 👍🏻🎼🎤
jamie Reynolds Hey Jamie, I checked out your play list from your TH-cam channel and it looks like we have a similar taste in music so I subscribed to your channel.
Take care Jamie🌞
John is my idol and I will die happy when I meet him
One of the best songs ever written. ❤️❤️
Iris is one of the best written songs I've ever heard .
This is my favorite song. It's held so much meaning for me for the past 20 years.
Thank You Tim Pierce for this amazing tune.
I just saw the Deadwax episode where Tim talks about his contributions to the song, which was the mandolin and the slide guitar solo... Tim is soo cool! you should watch it. Tim says John plays the guitar parts, wrote the song, and came up with that very unusual guitar tuning...
Because this song The 90,s Is The best decade ever!! Of all decades we love you goo goo dolls!!!!!
Met these guys in PGH back stage - they are just as real as they seem... Love this song... my wife came down the aisle to marry me to iris... hope to see these guys for the 30 year reunion too.
This has been my absolute favorite song since I was 9 years old. There isn’t a song in the world that makes me feel as good as this one does. 💛
Tim Pierce's opening (and throughout) mandolin work makes this song instantly recognizable, and his slide solo....it was great all around. The writer (song and music), Pierce, the orchestra and of course Rob's producing (duh!).
Right?! They claim to be alt rocks snob in the past, but apparently someone that is still linger in because they gave no love to the studio guitarist. One that pull them from just alt rock, and helped catapult them into the stratosphere. If the lyrics didn’t get you in that feeling of longing, unrequited feels, that slide held you down and poured it all over you. It’s not a stretch to say that without Tim Pierce, there would be no orchestra, and the song would not have gone where it went.
Rob Cavello knows what he is doing with strings. Also added them to Green Days "Good Riddance" which catapulted that song as well. I am just watching it, John mentions rob cavello. I'm like "green days producer"
id say the song is more popular than the movie
Film after watching it again is underrated.
Iris should’ve been in the Best Original Song category for 1999 at Oscars.
Wouldn’t have won.
Imagine them being alongside Aerosmith for Armageddon.
brent fisher I love both!
@@danielmoorefield4891 Iris is better
I don't have a problem with that, and I'm guessing you don't either!
I agree one of the greatest songs!! Johnny is a great guy!! So humble and down to earth!!
Favorite song 😍😍
this band doesn't get NEARLY enough recognition. Hearing this brings a whole new meaning to this song for me
This song means life to me. Surviving a life altering accident "and I don't want the world to see me, cuz I don't think that they'd understand" ! I am one of those people who wrote a note (Asheville NC, August, 2017, Biltmore Estate). I just had to take the chance that it would reach them, to let them know this song is still relevant, still explaining life's crazy chaos. Thanks again guys!
Iris is a life changer. It means so much to me.
John Rzeznik: I am a god at Home Depot In Hollywood.
Hahahahaha.
"How can you get sick of a gift?" You can't. Whiich is why we're still here, cheering you on.
My favorite album is Dizzy Up The Girl!! Hard to believe that it's been 20 years! Loved you guys then and still love you, so much, now! Always will be one of my favorites!
By far remain my favorite band after so many years, who is with me?
One of my favorite songs, as well as one of my favorite movies. I cry every time, rips at my heart 😢💕
Iris was my favourite song, literally all of the songs from the Goo goo dolls are my favourite, also the gorgeous video, warm huge to Jhon, Robby, and Mike from Indonesia.
This is my favourite song ❤️love from India
A message from 2021: it sucks here, bring me back to late 90s/early 20’s
I am 66 years old and I would go to ONLY 2 concerts.....1. The Rolling Stones...I bought their 45 "Get off my cloud" for .25 cents in 1965)....and THE GOO GOO DOLLS...!!! They are now my FAVORITE BAND....love the way they embrace their fame, keepin it REAL...
its definetly one of my favourite songs of all time, an emotional banger that i will play to my children if i will ever have them
"Iris" in my heart forever, on my skin forever...
May 2021, and this song is still THE SONG!!!!
Thank you for releasing this song. I've never been so in love with a track. I can't even explain the way listening to it makes me feel. So..just a huge THANK YOU
2024 and this song got me thrue middle school im now 38 and damn I would give anything to go back
Best song ever from Goo Goo and one of the best movies I’ve ever watched. ✌️
20 times in a row listening to this song!!! Yeah!! FOR REAL !!!
20 times
Tim Pierce , One of the best session guitarist in music.
This song will never fucking die. Every single day in rotation in my car, IRIS, BLACK BALOON, HERE IS GONE, NAME. For years. Forever.
Incredible Johnny!! ⚡️ and they defffff got robbed of that Grammy ! The Injustice!!😐🤑
Of all the music in this world, this is still my favorite song to this day.
It really is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. I loved it when it was released when I was a kid, and I still love it now. It doesn't age.
I loved this song so much in high school. It reminds me of my high school sweetheart, Nicole.
I freaking love it too John. It's in my top 42 songs of all time, in the top 10 I believe, a list I made last year when I turned 42.
I love this song since I was a kid, fell more in love with it when I grew up, always singing this song everytime, but then I didn't know it's possible that I'll fall deeply more in love with it when I watched it's official music video for the first time this year, now who would have thought I'd still fall deeper now after watching this video and hearing it's real meaning.. I guess I'll continue falling for this song over and over again till forever even after thousands of lifetimes sigh ♥️
I love Robby so much. What a humble guy who just loves to fucking rock even if John gets all the attention. If I ever get a chance to see these guys I'm going to be in the front row screaming every word of January Friend up at him and letting Rob know how much he's loved. (by me anyway)
I will never get sick of this song either and of you guys! I've been such a big fan for 20 years and your songs still hits me 'til I pass out. You deserve a Grammy with your every single song! You guys are very talented legends. A REAL band!!!
lol. the one song i demanded at my wedding. best song ever. best bet we were yelling it loud
John ,you are so deep and full of wisdom.:-):-)
I feel like you have so much to say and you have enough talent to put it in a book..♡
The greatest gift in life is for sure gratitude !!♡
He is channeling the Spirit of unconditional love in his song (s) u can never get sick of your gift. -Love- thank you guys. 🙏♥️✨🙌💕
I used to see it on Insomniac music theater on VH1.
Iris is only 1 of their great songs, they have many. Seen them live twice and its way better than hearing them with earbuds. Great performances both times. The guitar solo for Iris always gets me, its just got this sound to it.
2021 And I’m still listening to this song.
You don’t realize how this song opened my heart to the person i was in love with so deeply!! Thank you🙏
Greatest song of all time❤❤❤❤
Absolute timeless classic song it will never get old 🥰❤️❤️🤎
Such a great,deep song.Thank you for writing it
They deserve so many Grammys how could they not win 😪

Wow and you guys are still together? As friends and musicians? Wow, I think that says it all!
Much love! Long live The Goo Goo Dolls!
They should have won the Grammy award! Best song IRIS!

Thank you very much for this song. This will always stand against time itself as one of my favourite songs ever. This song is part of the times I keep reminding myself not to be suicidal.
Amazing song. Takes me right back to high school in the mid 90's. Great times! I just seen them in Philly last night too and they rocked that place! Keep up the good work guys.
Brilliant song!!! They should have had that grammy ....Awesome band!!!!! Goo Goo Dolls!!!
Love these guys--thank you for your beautiful music. Hopefully see you in 2022 Toronto.
this song is my favorite song of all time I've always wanted to know the meaning and story behind it. I can just relate to this song so much
An amazing couple of guys.
love this band!!
So many great songs from these guys!
I play that song every other day nothing could touch it ❤😊
I sat next to Robby on a flight from Chicago to Buffalo. He was returning from concert in Vail. Super nice person. I was like a little kid - got selfie and autograph - my kids were so excited....
The song is amazing and the solo is the coolest shit
Fav song ever!!!❤️❤️
