Imagine an alternate universe where Days of the New released one genre defining album after another over and over again. Going over all colors of the rainbow and exposing the acoustic to every genre of music. Travis does special shows with an orchestra now and then, Nicole is the guest female singer on every album, he's patched things up with Todd Jesse and Matt, and they even record a "roots" album once in awhile... Fuck man. I'm grateful for those first three albums but this guy had so much more to give.
Travis was a gorgeous, gorgeous man. I saw him in pennsylvania in March..... a walking "don't do drugs" commerical right there. I still have hope he will recover and keep making music for his fans.
@@tilytravels I think it's more about being smart and taking care of yourself when you're young so you can age gracefully. Nobody is saying he was a bad guy.
I've maybe listened to this album a thousand times by now. And it's not even a daily thing or whatever. It just sounds good so I don't think twice to let it play through
My son and daughter are hooked on these guys and they are 21 yrs old. Honestly, nothing could have made me happier because Days of the New is my favorite band
@@jimbojones8208 yellow is good too, but in terms of experimentation, it goes to green for me. Took me awhile to get into it, but it's my favorite of his work, and all the hidden albums on youtube too.
Travis Meeks was and hopefully will be again some day, a musical Genius. Fantastic vocals and the style with mostly acoustic guitar.. is awesome in most of the Days of the New songs.
its crazy how different this mix is than the album, its like depeche mode and alice in chains had a child, which is inspirational to me right now because i love elctronic music and the acoustic guitar, but i still love the style of the green album! female backing vocals and beautiful guitar songs by the one and only travis meeks this music video is just a little weird but thats fine lol
I’ve actually heard him say in an interview that this version of the song is the one that was meant to be on the album but there was some sort of miscommunication
Know what I miss almost as much as the music from the 90s? The way guys looked. You don't see this "rocker" look much anymore. Long hair, shredded jeans and a band tshirt. Fucking sexy. Bring that back, the music will follow.
love how he looks in that shirt and this song rocks!!!! Travis is a genius and has overcome so much....asperger's syndrome and meth addiction....he is doing well these days and still writing. I wish hims the very best.
Nice insight, this was actually vwritten by the band for Travis Meeks who was out of his right mind on heroin and other drugs and was super paranoid and killing himself
So listen down you little man I'm not the one who is trying to change you...yeah. And if you come to understand, it will be okay yeah You need to change it now!

I've always loved this song and this album. This band went into a brave direction with this one with a "world music" sound that is thoughtful and a bit trippy. This is by far their most radio friendly song on the whole album.
I have never heard of this band and or Travis Meeks until a friend told me about them and showed me about Travis Meeks and I'm 57 yrs old.. lol anyhow I really like him and they're Music 🎶🔥💯
I got to go to Houston, TX when I lived in Spring, TX [west side of I-45] and see Travis Play in a small bar which made watching & feeling him & his Music even more Special! It was a Birthday gift I bought for Myself!!!! I had a necklace that had a Magical Silver Fairy connected to an Ankh. I thru it up on stage. Travis picked it up, He tried to put it on, I didn't expect him to do so at That moment. It would be nice to know that he Did manage to keep it. If not, he at least did have it in his Hand! Before he went on stage I saw him get harassed by the staff for they didn't know who he was. I am Very Thankful Travis decided to Go On With The Show!!!!! I had heard a song from them from the Yellow Album but it was the Song ENEMY on MTV that I was Hooked, That Video was/Is bad Ass. Travis, Do NOT give up!!! You Are the Music and the Music is You!!!
The yarl becomes inconsequential behind melodies like those. Brilliant songwriter, incredible arranger. I'm a sonic nerd, and he knows how to mix a damn album.
Love those 3 records, they are timeless. Saw Days of the New at House of Blues in Chicago twice- Dec '99 and Dec '00. Great shows- Travis was on top of his game
Stairway to Heaven is 53 years old, over half a century. We almost get a century of experience and then we're gone. I would prefer life extension to at least maybe about 150

I haven't heard this song in about 9 years. I used to have two of their albums but my ex stole them. Recently, I had this song in my head and had to look it up :) Still love this song.
Wish Travis could make a come back. I seen him in Pensacola with Godsmack and they played after Godsmack. They were booed off stage. Anyone following GS is destined to go down. I love DOTN. Travis....where are you?
As of May 2020, he was arrested again in Maricopa county Arizona in late April 2020 (a day before his birthday). His mug shot is online and accessible with a quick Google search. Based on his appearance in that mugshot, he is definitely still struggling with his addiction and sadly he looks closest to death as I've ever seen him look.
Good Band & Lyrics! God's Will All our Souls Forgiven to Heaven in our Loving Lord Jesus Christ Thanks.Amen. God is All Love.Peace & Light to us All.Amen
Loved this song back in the day. I think a friend from Indiana told me about DOTN and Tantric, behing in Scotland I'd never heard of them without the interwebs.
That's Nicole from the Pussycat Dolls >^..^< Love Days Of The New and what a f***ing surprise when they opened for either Godsmack or Creed at Jones Beach 🍻❤
@@steviewander2693 He was on intervention. it's on youtube if you search intervention travis meth. he is badly hooked on meth. Nice dude.... just fell hard. My band opened for them a couple times back after this album released. he was only like 17 or 18 if I remember correctly.
This song is about himself. Looking in the mirror. A brilliant guy. Sometimes being brilliant doesn't erase your demons. Yo Travis, there are lots of us out here who can lend you a hand. I know the hardest fucking thing to do is to ask. We are out here for you, bro.
Yo recuerdo esta gran canción en el año 1999, y la verdad buscando en las listas de todos los rankings que hacen del "Ranking Anual de Radio 99", y la verdad no se como hayan excluido a Days of the New, por que ella ocupo el puesto 20 empatado con Bush y su tema The chemical Betwhen Us
I just started getting into DOTN. Travis Meeksi s a genius, but I could've gone the rest of my life not hearing or seeing this. Dear Lord.. make it go away.
The album version is much, much better. It's definitely not the same as the full band DOTN stuff, but I liked that Meeks tried to experiment. This version though, is over-produced garbage.
I used to love this guy. About 5 years later I saw him washed up on an episode of A&E's intervention from his meth (I think? Heroin? It's been a while) addiction. Not trying to throw shade or mothin', I've had my own drug problems, but it was hard to watch. I looked up to him. Does anyone know how he's doing now?
The album version had a guitar solo at the end that was the best acoustic guitar solo I've ever heard.
Yeah boi
@@johnkenny7210 No shit, why in the world would you take that part out, it's the best part.
I use to have that album and would listen to this song on repeat just because of that guitar solo.
I agree
You should have been there live,,,, it was awesome
Imagine an alternate universe where Days of the New released one genre defining album after another over and over again. Going over all colors of the rainbow and exposing the acoustic to every genre of music.
Travis does special shows with an orchestra now and then, Nicole is the guest female singer on every album, he's patched things up with Todd Jesse and Matt, and they even record a "roots" album once in awhile... Fuck man. I'm grateful for those first three albums but this guy had so much more to give.
Grateful myself, Days the New filled a void in my life when most needed.
I bought those 3 CDs as soon as they were released. So damn good.
Check out the Maestro Music channel and you may find that in Travis' album Tree Colors.
Goat pfp
If only...
Travis was a gorgeous, gorgeous man.
I saw him in pennsylvania in March..... a walking "don't do drugs" commerical right there.
I still have hope he will recover and keep making music for his fans.
Hope you see this comment mascara, but he's in recovery and i believe successfully.
@@tilytravels I think it's more about being smart and taking care of yourself when you're young so you can age gracefully. Nobody is saying he was a bad guy.
I just discovered this song last week and can't stop playing it. Pure banger
I know i just found it about 3 months ago
this whole album it was on went under the radar , lots of great songs from it
Really? Yeas banger.
Loved this band.
Love You Travis .....❤❤
This album is so underrated. It's one of my favorites.
That's because Travis got rid of Jesse Vest
I've maybe listened to this album a thousand times by now. And it's not even a daily thing or whatever. It just sounds good so I don't think twice to let it play through
Those three albums saved my life.
Where ever you are Travis I’m still pulling for you
I'll tell you one of they're song's that I can't get out of my head.. "shelf in the room" OMG 😳 love the song but geezz lmao 🤣
My son and daughter are hooked on these guys and they are 21 yrs old. Honestly, nothing could have made me happier because Days of the New is my favorite band
Green is the best album! Travis is a genius and my favorite guitar player of All time!
I think the original was the best, you possibly would call it Yellow, but it's far from it. It was the most courageous out of all.
@@jimbojones8208 yellow is good too, but in terms of experimentation, it goes to green for me. Took me awhile to get into it, but it's my favorite of his work, and all the hidden albums on youtube too.
Yellow album !!
Only after the red! 🙂
@@fernandoromeroaraya9731 yes! the red album got me into travis's music a few years back
This song is still so funky. The acoustic version is still the best.
Travis Meeks was and hopefully will be again some day, a musical Genius. Fantastic vocals and the style with mostly acoustic guitar.. is awesome in most of the Days of the New songs.
A young Nicole Sherzinger can be spotted a few times here as she was a member of the band at the time.
Haters gonna hate. I love this band's sound. I love the yarling style in general.
Tweakers gonna tweak
Bwahahahahaha!!!!!! That's fuckin' funny right there. Damn.
harveyvid what are you 15 ?
I like yarling too. I just don't like when it's wayyyy overdone like stapp
Sorry but what's yarling? Gosh I love this band

we need more of travis and his immaculate dancing skills 😔

Miss these guys so much. Just an Indiana boy, on an Indiana night.
2023 and still listening..
"I'M NOT THE ONE WHO'S TRYING TO BE YOUR ENEMY, THAT'S SOMETHING YOU NEED TO CHANGE"...
I find this song to be a message from my higher self to my ego. Absolutely fantastic album!!! Namaste' 😎
Very cool perspective, my dude
Nice insight, this was actually vwritten by the band for Travis Meeks who was out of his right mind on heroin and other drugs and was super paranoid and killing himself
His tattoos bother me would prefer body art paint or something similar fantastic tho bless
Wrong, close, so close
💕

Travis Meeks. A genius
I've always loved this song and this album. This band went into a brave direction with this one with a "world music" sound that is thoughtful and a bit trippy. This is by far their most radio friendly song on the whole album.
You mean Travis "went into a brave direction." He made a huge mistake when he fired everyone else.
Am i the only one who thinks the 2nd album is the best? lol Every single album is a masterpiece though. Travis is a musical genius. I
Agreed
I still listen to this to this day I'll forever love it 😍
"Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah."
-lyrical genius travis meeks
Are you contesting his ability because you cherry-picked a part? As if those are the only lyrics or something...you're the real genius
I have never heard of this band and or Travis Meeks until a friend told me about them and showed me about Travis Meeks and I'm 57 yrs old.. lol anyhow I really like him and they're Music 🎶🔥💯
By the way my friend showed me this about five months ago back in February just saying 💯🔥🎶
I love that damn smile at the end of the video.
25 years ahead of time.

About 21yrs old this song is 😎👍🏻
Best comment winner
I've been searching for this song since 1999. My roommate at Fort Bragg played it every morning after PT when we were going though SOCM.
IVE HAD THIS CD FOR TEN YEARS AND NEVER LISTENED TO IT, NOW IM GLAD I GOT IT, PRETTY GOOD STUFF

Love those 3 records, they are timeless. Saw Days of the New at House of Blues in Chicago twice- Dec '99 and Dec '00. Great shows- Travis was on top of his game
I saw these guys at Main Streets in Murfreesboro, TN. Hung out with them before the show.
Miss em immensely. That bass is the shyt!
Made this at twenty years old. AWESOME.
he was beautful n still is
Love the album version (that acoustic SOLO!) but this video version has a VERY cool energy. A few different changes here that I love.
I think so as well about the Video.. it's Cool 😎.. Awesome Thanks for uploading it. 🔥❤️💯
Such an incredible artist and musician.
Was listening to this in the nineties, my kids still play it. It's all good.
GREAT BAND regardless of the drugs three of my favorite albums in my collection.
Just saw them in Poughkeepsie and they packed the place and they rocked! Awesome show!
Ah my dad loves them and got me adddicted. I'm so lucky I was brought up on this musicccc:) This song & weapon and the wound are BY FAR their bestt
This tune used to drive me nuts back then ....now in '24....I miss hearing this.
So hard to believe that this song has 21 years old
yes, yes it is
Ya somos viejos .
Stairway to Heaven is 53 years old, over half a century.

The smile at the end❤️🔥💔
Awesome song!
I miss the 90s and early 2000s.
The last times Rock was interesting, original, special, unique... Even Bon Jovi made their hit in the early 00s

Man, I sure do miss the nineties! Sad but honest truth!!
I miss these guys. And Travis, like all bad boys, was beautiful.
love this song... how it changes

look for Nichole Scherzinger in this video, you see her a couple of times lol, most people don't realize that she was in the band for this album!
still jamming this in almost 2024. seen travis live about 8 years ago or so, did this song live, amazing
I like this song, it may be weird but it is a good song👍👍
Loved this song back in the day. I think a friend from Indiana told me about DOTN and Tantric, behing in Scotland I'd never heard of them without the interwebs.
I have seen this video an unhealthy amount of times.
not unhealthy at all in my opinion.. it brings me peace honestly.
One of my favorite videos and songs of all time!
i went in killing the sun, i once won, i once won...
This brings back memories of art school in Utica and KRock. I miss the Utica station. They played a lot of Days.
Damn I miss me some Days of the New. That first album by four 18 year olds on acoustics was a classic.
Fave song
That's Nicole from the Pussycat Dolls >^..^<
Love Days Of The New and what a f***ing surprise when they opened for either Godsmack or Creed at Jones Beach 🍻❤
This is the first time in decades of loving this song that I've seen the music video for it and it's as weird as I thought it would be and I love it!
Travis is a perfect example of why self-control must be part of the package of success. Else talent means nothing
I used to watch this video all the time on MTV when it came out.. dotn one of the greatest bands of all time
What happened to Travis is a real tragedy. :( I hope he wins the battle against his inner demons.
I agree completely. I hope so as well :(
*drama, not tragedy
Wonder why no one likes this hmmm..
What happened?

I don't like how the song was nearly completely remixed for this video.
Epic and timeless.. saw em live Fall Jam , Houston Tx 1998. Badass!!
Yo recuerdo esta gran canción en el año 1999, y la verdad buscando en las listas de todos los rankings que hacen del "Ranking Anual de Radio 99", y la verdad no se como hayan excluido a Days of the New, por que ella ocupo el puesto 20 empatado con Bush y su tema The chemical Betwhen Us
Such a great tune
fuck yeah!!! without a doubt!! and to think they were only like 17 when their crazy awesome debut cd came out!! fucking insane talent!!
Yup still vocalizing with this song. Far out. KOOL Beans. In my eternal music library. Put together very well. Respect
Their style is like a cross between Nirvana and INXS. I like it! Where did they go?
WHO CARES HOW OLD YOU ARE OR WHAT YOUR LOST DECADES WERE SPENT ON....COME BACK TO US!!!!!
