I got 2 play on reverend rightime and 1st cousins of funks trapset and I'm self taught they told me they think I should go pro. Anyhow I broke my hand at work so it won't be anytime soon
I was lucky enough to catch them on the side stage at Woodstock. Made it a point to not miss their set. Great album and criminally underrated band. Also caught them opening up for Creed and Our Lady Peace 🤘🏼
Scholars debated for centuries why the one man to ever invent a time machine chose to go back to 1990 and keep repeating those same ten years over and over
@@internetargumentchampion78 Lol. You don't gotta be mean about it, but you are right. Every generation will look back on their your in a romantic, glamorized way.
@@benjaminhaase7223 I mean what is there really thats transcendent about today's "music"? There's nothing that distinguishes it from the past or each other. It all sounds the same because it's already been done. It's just reactionary garbage. People are filling venues of bands from the past, not the present save for Sabaton. Anything else is just WAP or some weed and ho hip hop that's already been beaten into the ground.
I saw the same lineup at Carolina Music Fest in Charlotte in 1999. I was also front row center (waited in the heat aaaall day) and when Oleander performed Thomas Flowers jumped down in front of me and grabbed my hand. Best concert ever!
God i remember when this CD came out, working at burger king and after the doors closed we blasted that cd as loud as we could. God i miss those good ole days of the 90's.
Wow. Same memory. I worked at a Burger King in Phoenix. Met one of my best friends working there. We've been friends over 20 years. We used to blast the shit out of this album.
Please gimme time machine so I can go back to the 90s where all great music and bands are there like Oleander, Dishwalla, 3 Doors Down, Athenaeum, Binocular, Splender, Third Eye Blind, Goo Goo Dolls, Our Lady Peace, Hum, Fuel, Filter, Gin Blossoms, Lemonheads, Incubus, Binocular, Verve Pipe, The Verve, Tonic and many more. The soundtracks of the movie American Pie showcased the great music of the said era. Long live the 90s music !!! - Skeedledoo from Philippines.
Singles and Reality Bites and The Crow are excellent soundtracks that represent the alt world at the time as well. Screaming Trees, Meat Puppets, Time Baby 3, Rancid, Violent Femmes, P.J. Harvey, Dinosaur Jr., Primus, Helmet, Pantera, My Life WIth the Thrill Kill Cult, System Of a Down to name a few more
I graduated high school in 1996. 95, and 96 to this day I can still say were the best years of my life. A junior and senior in high school, dating the same beautiful girl. Those were some fine times. It doesn't get any better. John Couger Mellencamp said it best: Hold on to 16 as long as you can. Wise words.
Bro, you were a freshman when I was a senior but it still applies. It was the same. I'm thankful to be alive and have had a good life. But there were a couple years there, where....yeah - the best.
Hadn't heard this song in over a decade and started playing the opening guitar and humming the rhythm in my head about a week ago but couldn't think of what song it was...till just now. Felt like opening a time capsule listening to it again, the 90's was a magical time for music of all genres 😎
Oleander was not well received in the 90s and as a result this outlier of a song didn't get much radio play which is how we discovered new music before the internet
@joedd215 Honestly f**k critics, they slam anything that even remotely sounds like something else unless they use new techniques or sh!t. Oleander is perfectly good as is and considering you're here I'm sure you'd agree.
@@maggiedallimore9754 I saw them in claremore Oklahoma at 16yrs old with my first love.she was a cool chick. Not with her today but wouldn't trade my wife for anything. Nor would I trade that day for anything. Every day we went through in life makes us who we are today. Also awesome band
There are alot of bands that were underrated and same can be said about actors another band that was underrated around same time was Jimmy's chicken shack
Being a Sacramentan, Oleander has always been near & dear, along with Deftones, Tesla, Simon Says, Hella, Will Haven, etc. Anyway, when I got out of prison in 2003, funds were tight & the rents on housing had skyrocketed in the few years I was away. Desperate to find something quick, my partner & I found a funky little dive in a decent part of town, which was def the reason for the $1100 rent. The house had a second structure behind the main house, and I was immediately sold when the slumlord mentioned that the previous tenant and his band would practice back there, causing a "dreadful racket", to use her words. Curious, I asked what band? The name seemed to escape her for a minute, then she said they were named after a poisonous flower that grows along roads and highways out here in Cali. Once it was established that it was Todd Flowers that lived in the house before me, we went and got her the $3000 or whatever it was to move in. Very cool provenance, if you're a fan.
I was stationed in Sacramento at McClellan from 1998-2000....People don’t understand how many great bands came from that area. One of my favorite places. I loved those Kings teams as well...
This entire album was fantastic. As a teenager in the late 90s I knew even then that it was a special time. But the 21st century has been such a brutal slog I wish I could have appreciated it even more.
I saw this band in 98 Tulsa Oklahoma at Tu Stadium, such an amazing fucking concert! We do not realize how great we had it in the 90s what the fuck happened mma
This album has been so closely related with me and so many times I’ve been through in the last 20 years!❤ I feel so identified with this song right now more than ever before ❤😮❤
Haven’t heard this song in like 15...16 years! I still know every word. Saw them once at a concert. I wish I could go back. Click my heels twice...going back to the late 90’s would be nice. Here’s wishing.
I feel like if I'm on my deathbed with only minutes to live, this is the song I want to be played as my sense of existence leaves my body slowly bit by bit. Let me go peacefully with this in the background...dying blissfully...
I miss them. I love his voice! hes so amazing, well, to me anyway. this song did so much for me back in the day, that one and "Are You There" UUUUHHHHHHHH! love it!
My first son a as born on my 26th birthday. He passed away in 1992. This and many otber songs of the time helped me deal with the grief. It rained for 3 days. I told myself heaven wept for our loss. I soldiered on through life living as fully as I could for both of us. He was 5 years old. I still blame myself for his passing.
As hard as it is...theres a reason for everything-we just dont understand here and now. He's looking down watching you every day and no, dont blame yourself. God bless.
Never heard too much from this band, until I went searching for long forgotten memories...can hear a few different bands in their blend...:) good music
I remember this little biker bar I used to hit up on the weekends and they had a busted ass juke box with a bunch of garbage on it,myself a metal head this was the only rock song on it.After hearing at least 20 times a night for a year I finally ended up liking it,I miss the late 90s early 2000s
I haven't heard this song in 20 years and it struck a chord in me a few weeks ago when I heard it after all those years. A situation I am going through had made these words ring so true and mean so much. I have listened to this song 500 times in the past several weeks, the words define my situation, I love it. It is part of my healing ritual.
Back in the day ... but so awesome I got to see them at first fest last year in Sacramento... daughter and granddaughter got experience it and loved it💓
i never get tired listening this kind of music, it was one of favorites back in highschool. Now im getting married, but i still listen to this music. Oleander, im one of your biggest fan in Phillippines.
Love you, Oleander! Saw you when you opened for Our Lady Peace and Creed. You were spectacular! My only complaint of the concert was for you to play longer. Love your music.
right there with ya man, nothing beats the rock/alternative music from the 90's. says the 35 year old but it took me a looooooooooong time to get used to the music in the 00's from like The Muse and The Killers. Still not the same as the rock from the 90's.
So proud of my baby brother, Fred Nelson Jr. on drums. On the radio, a world tour and they made it to Woodstock!
That’s awesome! I STILL love this song 25 years later!
I got 2 play on reverend rightime and 1st cousins of funks trapset and I'm self taught they told me they think I should go pro. Anyhow I broke my hand at work so it won't be anytime soon
I'm proud of your brother they are an awesome 😂
Id love 2 meet the band
I was lucky enough to catch them on the side stage at Woodstock. Made it a point to not miss their set. Great album and criminally underrated band. Also caught them opening up for Creed and Our Lady Peace 🤘🏼
Welcome to 2024 and another year of wishing we were all back here. Love you all. Cheers. The best of times
Amen!!!
New listener, technically grew up listening to them from my dad and when I got old enough to care about music, I looked em up. great band
I don't think we realize how great we had it in the 90s 💯
Yes we do lol
No effin way we did...
The 90s were a literal renaissance for good music. I don't care if I sound old. People played actual instruments.
I came of age during this time and I thought music was going to stay sounding like this. I was naive. haha
I wish there was a way of knowing you were living in the good times before they’re over and gone forever
Scholars debated for centuries why the one man to ever invent a time machine chose to go back to 1990 and keep repeating those same ten years over and over
Takes me back to 1999. Such an underrated band!
Welcome, fellow old people remembering our glory days!

Im 46.im from Sacramento. Where this band from. Respect. We definitely not in our 20s anymore. Respect 👍
People today won’t understand how music like this back then actually healed our minds to keep us sane
Ever wonder why every adolescent today is insane? Now you know
Yes they do…. everyone has music of their generation. You sound like every person that thinks they are special. You aren’t.

Miss you dearly 1990's
Still one of my favorite concerts ever. Oleander, Our Lady Peace, and Creed front row at the Family Arena in St. Charles, MO.
Mine was Oleander, Default, Saliva n Theory. All excellently underrated rock bands!! Saliva may not be the same wo Josey.
Same lineup for me in Chicago, IL - Aragon Ballroom
I saw the same lineup at Carolina Music Fest in Charlotte in 1999. I was also front row center (waited in the heat aaaall day) and when Oleander performed Thomas Flowers jumped down in front of me and grabbed my hand. Best concert ever!

Saw oleander twice in chico California brick works great show
I don't always listen to Oleander, but when I do, so do my neighbors.
I want to go back. Every day.
Every American Pie song, including this one, truely define pop punk and summer anthems! I so wish music like this would come back!
Ah American Pie...I miss that time period...
+whatever the 90's was the shit mate!
crazy....... hhhhhhh
+Wobbled late 80's and 90's music is the best. made me who I am for sure
cool
i miss Y2K
When my gf left in '99, this song brought the color back into my life!! Thanks, Oleander!
the best time period for music
Yes!
totally
Agreed def for rock.
My theme song
.wow.. 30 years later..still love these guys
24 years later, thank you very much 😆
Drunk bro hands Stifler a beer 'Buddddy!"
Damn, I miss the 90's...
Yes
at least you lived the 90's
The music anyways😢it died after that. Too many under rated 90's bands. OLP, Oleander 2 of my faves.
The 90's was definitely the era of the "Soul Patch".
Late 90's had some really good music! Miss those days!
Love Oleander. This song is literally my anthem.
Same here,music's always been a refuge 4me.it always said what couldn't
LitErAlLy
This is one of those songs that seems to pick you up whenever you are down and out.
Just love these guys!!
This transplanted me mentally to 1999
This song is still the jam. Cruising the coast, too down, this tune nice and loud… life is good.
I graduated high school in 1996. 95, and 96 to this day I can still say were the best years of my life. A junior and senior in high school, dating the same beautiful girl. Those were some fine times.

The good old days for sure.

why doesn't this have more views?? this is a sick song!
I was wondering the same thing.its kind of a hidden gem from the 90s that I foundly remember listening to at 13 on my Walkman disc player
no... its not.

Saw these guys open up for Candlebox back in ‘98. They killed it!!!!
HIGH SCHOOLS DAYS.......the 90s were fucken awesome.
Can't believe I was 18 when this album came out! Still holds up
I saw these guys with candlebox at a roller rink in Modesto CA. when I was about 14.... AWESOME lol
I did too and Live was a great show

Jealous!!!
Bands like Oleander, Fuel, Sister Hazel, Bush. Was the 90's
Just went thru my music and rediscovered this completely by accident! This made my day!
i wish music these days was still this great!
The last decade of amazing music.
When rock was good.
Lol. Have you met the 1970's?
Rock has always been good...
Rock IS good
Fuel was better
Band geeks: "Were here for the party"
Stifler: "What party? There's not party...Try the house down the street" (slams door)
Aha I remember that scene
Stifles mom was the party,hehehe...
This might be the most underrated song of all time
My fight song I'm a lone wolf on the motorcycle and everything else I walk alone

What about luxt, and fire pie.
Thomas Flowers is a good dude. So casual everyday guy. Super well intentioned!
Happy 2022 to whoever sees this from 🇨🇦......what a rockin tune!!!
I really miss 90's music like this, so sad, i really have a good wayback. play this music loud, me, my beer in this music. Let the good times roll.
it's funny because I just discovered this song and thought it was new from them. I really miss the 90's. damn good times and even better music.
God i forgot all about this track!! Man has it been 25 years already??
This entire album was fantastic.

look up how many great rock songs come from the year 1999 one of the best years in music period
Watching American Pie right now and had to pause and listen to this song.
Here for my 500th view of the video! Classic 🤙🏾
Great band,underrated though.Miss those days when radio played good tunes like this.
Music back then in general was so much better than now there's no comparison really
💕 Just Oleander remeniscing in 2019 💕
summer 2018 baby!!!!
just so you kids know......I'm 59 years old and this is some REAL rock .
Gene Clauson So is Billy Idol. 59 seems like a good year!
saw them open up for nickleback before they went huge...great band
Its a shame you're not 69
Straight up, thiswas the coolest band from my hometown that made it big national wide besides the Deftones. Those were the days for sure!:)
They From Sacramento Area Right~??
This album has been so closely related with me and so many times I’ve been through in the last 20 years!❤ I feel so identified with this song right now more than ever before ❤😮❤
Me too. I am a February Son though like the name of their album. All my themes. Like my brother band!!
I saw Oleander in concert 14 years ago and met the lead singer, Tom... STILL love them now just as much as I did then. Truly amazing.
Wow so 26 years ago!!!
90s music is always so good

Best songs ever. Also remembering when American eagle had some good CDs
Never heard too much from this band, until I went searching for long forgotten memories...can hear a few different bands in their blend...:) good music
Still jamming to this in 2018. Great music never dies...
And Stifler opens the door
I remember this little biker bar I used to hit up on the weekends and they had a busted ass juke box with a bunch of garbage on it,myself a metal head this was the only rock song on it.After hearing at least 20 times a night for a year I finally ended up liking it,I miss the late 90s early 2000s
90s especially late best times of my life no doubt miss it
I can't stop listening to this track
This is one of those songs I can't listen to normally...I have to blast it and sing at the top of my lungs. LOVE IT!!!
I drove to Cedar Point with this on. One of the best times.
The best 1st album by any band
I haven't heard this song in 20 years and it struck a chord in me a few weeks ago when I heard it after all those years.

Back in the day ... but so awesome I got to see them at first fest last year in Sacramento... daughter and granddaughter got experience it and loved it💓
Ahhh takes me back!! Good tunes back then. These guys were great.
good stuff huh....
Back when times were much simpler
And the feeling comes flashing back
Ahhh this takes me back. ❤
i never get tired listening this kind of music, it was one of favorites back in highschool. Now im getting married, but i still listen to this music. Oleander, im one of your biggest fan in Phillippines.
This is such a pretty song.
Love you, Oleander! Saw you when you opened for Our Lady Peace and Creed. You were spectacular! My only complaint of the concert was for you to play longer. Love your music.
Saw them LIVE in Cleveland!!! Oleander rocks! Standing ovation!! Great show with daughtey and 3 doors Down.
I saw Oleander in Toledo Ohio will 3 Doors Down... Oleander was the best of the three bands that played....
I've probably watched this video 200 times.
I recorded this song on a cassette tape when I was a kid and I always sing thus randomly. never saw American pie but this song is badass.
Tinny Ganja smoke good weed and watch the movie. Thank me later.
You must watch American pie
Great band. Saw them at Gussy Lamores in Hawaii. Great times long gone.
I always truly walk alone... Awesome song...
This was a GREAT album!
awesome 90's
Still love this song 🖤🖤
Still one of my top 10 favorite 90s tunes....that's saying something.
