I even remember the first time hearing this masterpiece on the radio sitting in my car. I was stunned by it meticulous production, being a musician myself. Mixed with the self deprecating lyrics it shines on in history as one of greatest songs of the 80s, maybe ever!
This is such a beautiful song. Weirdly, I go through phases of listening to it obsessively and then forgetting it exists completely. I'm always struck by how fresh it sounds though, even now
@frontliner2 yeah. Like Starbucks coffee shop, windows 95, browsing on the cd rom encyclopedia kind of music. What's the frequency Kenneth by R.E.M gives me a similar vibe.
I'm familiar with a lot of 80's and 90's songs but somehow I only just heard (or noticed) this song for the first time today. It sounded like a mid-late 90's style song but am surprised to see it was actually made in 88. Definitely ahead of its time and still sounds good today.
+RySenkari She was one of the pioneers of what, for lack of a better term, became known as simply "chick music" or "chick rock." Melissa Etheridge, Lisa Loeb, Tori Amos, Alanis Morrisette, Sarah McLachlan, Brenda Khan, were all among those starting that whole thing (oh, and DEF! Suzanne Vega--don't want to leave her out, or even The Breeders for that matter, though they were group oriented, not so much just a chick on an acoustic guitar, or a piano). I could name another 20 probably that belong in that same group of women who paved the way for far, FAR less talented women to break into the business, but yeah... Edie is/was amazing!
+Art Scott Though they call it that it sounds good and look at the band, it is mostly men except for Edie as the lead singer. The music actually has a good melody that can help someone forget other songs they don't like. It is always nice to know of a few catchy songs to help rid your mind of crappy ones that never get out of your head.
+RySenkari Alternative music of this ilk was alive and well in the mid to late 80s and certainly ahead of it's time. R.E.M and 10,000 Maniacs were also revolutionary.... and definitely don't sound 80's. Best part is the timelessness.
Oh yeah, just happened to listen it on the radio and had to find out who this was by. Couldn´t believe it was this old. My teenage years, too! great song, great lyrics!
This band, this song, and their style are the proof that a certain decade doesn't end or start with numbers. This is a mid-nineties song made at the end of the eighties.
Yeah I thought it was a 90s song until they featured it on Vh1 100 greatest one hit wonders of the 80s. She seems and sounds like a 90s girl like Jewel, Alanis Morrisette or Lisa Loeb.
Only young people think this. If you were around when it came out then it's late 80s. I would never mistake this as a mid 90s song because I had the cassette when it came out. Millennials. Lol
Come on Gen X ! Get off the Geritol. Better days are ahead. Speak for yourself but I’m not going quietly into that dark night. I’m going to skid sideways into the box and leave this body a dried up husk! Forge on X. My little circle of friends had such high hopes for Edie, then she married Paul and disappeared. My 18 old self had such a crush on her🌹Every song on that first album was good. Rare!
Yes I remember because a Hip-Hop group called the Brand Nubians sampled it and it made me buy the cassette. A classic indeed. Circle is still something that opens my eyes when I hear her lyrical artistry. She should take a bow
76 years old here. That voice in 1988 was sexxxxyyyyy. It took the song for me to purchase here album shooting rubber bands at the stars. Was totally different but smooth. Glad someone posted it out here today. Thank you.
I only know 2 tracks off it but i remember it was a big thing at the time. Both tunes i know, this and circle are certainly both great tunes@LiamGoodison
Yes, its an 80's song with a 90's zeitgeist, decades seem to blend into each other and overlap, like disco didn't die out until 82 but the murmurs of what was to be the 80's sound were happening back in 78. So too with the 80's, it's influence was meandering until it received its dead blow in late 91 from Nirvana.
I remember this band 1988 I was 17 can't believe that long ago I'm 50 now and I still love this song my daughter was listening to this song I laughed so hard I told her I was 17 when I heard this she looked at me and said you grow up in a great time of music when music was cool and it was real yes I did daughter yes I did

If this came out in 2024 this girl would be one of the biggest stars on the planet!! She has the natural voice and sound people try and fake in todays world!!
I thought this song was from the 90s for my entire life. It was definitely ahead of it's time by a few years and maybe even helped shape the coming sound of 90s alternative.
@@uuajck1624 @Uuajck I'm inclined to disagree. The 1990s saw a move towards deeper, more artistic popular music. This song sounds more like popular 90s artists such as Fiona Apple, 4 Non Blondes, Sarah McLachlan, or Paula Cole than it does like 80s acts Debbie Gibson, Bananarama, or the Go-Go's.
No doubt. I remember this song when it came out and it was way ahead of its time. It didn’t fit in the 80s pop, new wave, 80s industrial dark wave, it was its own sound.
The way this girl sings this song is so captivating and she is so into the rhythm of it with her facial expressions. Just love it! This song is still a hit after all these years.
Thank you for using the correct word. Another (copycat for likes ?) asked this same thing a week after you did but they got more likes and comments (undeserving). You omitted the apostrophe but at least you didn't add an E.
They went way beyond the nineties. There are still so many bands today that seem to base their stage presence off of this video. For nearly 25 years now this song has sounded like it could have been released yesterday!
Shooting Rubber Bands At The Stars is an album that never ages. No filler songs, the whole album is good. This is original "alt rock" when the genre was relevant and actually had some balls.
27 years old here. I remember this from my childhood along with many other older songs so listening now makes this warm nostalgic feeling wash over me. I feel sorry for anyone who has trouble experiencing that it's one of the best feelings
I can’t remember how my mother got this cassette tape from me but when she heard Edie Brickell sing, she was immediately hooked like so many of us. Rest in peace, Mother… This one is for you!💙💙💙
My dads birthday today. My mom passed away when I was 17. I am now 25. He just told me her favorite music so this is what I'm listening to.. 12:31 a.m. October 6th, 2019.
@@gwendolenyoung4198 I know. I specifically said that this song was a few years ahead of its time, because to me, this song and videoclip APPEAR LIKE they are from the 90s, even though they are not.
Between this, the early Gin Blossoms and Candlebox, was the transition point, in my opinion, to that true 90s sound. You can still hear a bit of "80s synth wave" in this song.
@@3boxop633 I think you're confusing synth for the wah pedal the guitarist uses here. Which is more associated with late 60s and 70s psychedelic rock and funk
I have her album on cassette and it did not have this version you hear here. My cassette had a longer version of this and you can hear the solo at its fullest. This was the version that when she starts with "I'm not aware of too many things.....", she sings it twice instead of once. I like that version better.
That is what makes this era of music the very best... The diversity and the ACTUAL talent!!!!! I said what I said!!! Musical talent and creativity 💪🏾💯👍🏾
The whole Shooting Rubberbands At The Stars album has aged very well. Actually i like it even better now than i used to like it back then. It's really really good.
That's a Boss TW-1 Touch Wah pedal on the solo. It's sensitive to how hard you pick the guitar strings - light picking causes minimal wah effect, and heavy picking gives a strong wah sound. Definitely a unique pedal.
they played a small venue in Chicago in '88 or '89, and in between songs Edie kept talking off-mic, and I shouted 'i love you!' She laughed and smiled and said 'i love you too!' and went into this song. Outstanding!

Amazing, I heard this song yesterday driving car (Warsaw POLAND) , I know this song from past....but first time see today this VidClip ;-) She looks so natural and feels easy, crazy see it now in Plastic dolls era.
When I first heard this song back in the '80's I said to myself: "That's a different sound, from a different band with a different take on things. It'll turn out to be a hit." I was right.
Por fin te encontréeee, te busqué por más de 20 años, no te encontraba porque no sabía el nombre de la canción ni de la cantante. Gracias a Ticktok que me lo puso en bandeja estoy acá disfrutando esta canción después de 30 años aproximadamente que ya no escuchaba. Las pinches emisoras no lo ponen, al menos en mi ciudad.
An 80's song that sounds like a 90's song that wants to be a '60-'70s song. I do mean that in the best way possible. I absolutely love this song and the vibes. As always, a classic.
Late 80s Deep Ellum (Dallas) style... well, one of the styles. I was a highschool kid back then, but the clubs weren't exactly strict when it came to checking IDs. Anyways, there was a pretty good and innovative alternative scene.
Found this CD at a thrift store and had to get it for my daughter who is in her first year of college like I was when I first heard it! Sign of a great artist/album - it has stood the test of time. Sounds just as meaningful as it did to me all those years ago and I hope my daughter finds the same power and inspiration from it.
ikr. It's just that laid-back mellow groove, and her awesome voice. I love the guitar bridge (or whatever its called) at 2:10 , i like that style. Edie, yup she was hot imho. That wild hair, nice dark eyes and a cute smile. And unlike todays "artists" she didnt have make-up plastered on with a trowel.
Una de mis canciones favoritas de los 80s. Un éxito, pero el grupo intentó en vano posicionar otras melodías en el mercado. Nada fue igual, como la primera.
Came here for the ahead of its time comments. It really is. I‘d believe it if you told me the song came out as late as ‘96 or ‘97 if I didn’t know better.

Was shocked to see this was released in 1988. It has such a 90s vibe.
100% Agree. That 70's retro guitar solo break does NOT belong in the 80's, it is strictly a 90's thing. Ahead of their time❤

If this came out in 2024 this girl would be one of the biggest stars on the planet!! She has the natural voice and sound people try and fake in todays world!!
she would be a playable charcter in fortnight
Her style is timeless. I love 80’s music of course, but this song doesn’t sound like that era, just sounds like itself.
This song screams a heavy pre cursor to the mid 90's in my opinion. Great song!@@hummushero9428
They libtards wouldn't like her because she's not a 10 looks wise. Society as we know is over and never coming back to reality.
ikr; this kills almost anything out in now. Can't believe this song is 36 years old now!
this is extremely genuine
I thought this song was from the 90s for my entire life. It was definitely ahead of it's time by a few years and maybe even helped shape the coming sound of 90s alternative.
no it´s very 80´s
@@uuajck1624 @Uuajck I'm inclined to disagree.
The 1990s saw a move towards deeper, more artistic popular music. This song sounds more like popular 90s artists such as Fiona Apple, 4 Non Blondes, Sarah McLachlan, or Paula Cole than it does like 80s acts Debbie Gibson, Bananarama, or the Go-Go's.
No doubt. I remember this song when it came out and it was way ahead of its time. It didn’t fit in the 80s pop, new wave, 80s industrial dark wave, it was its own sound.
Yep sorry, eighties! Give us this! Grin
correction this song is late 80s .Generation x the best
It's 2021 and I'm still listening to this group. sounds good to me.
Song sucks
I agree, it's a fantastic song :)
@@The-Bridgewater-Triangle so does your mum
Good music doesn't have an expiration date!
Da do ya?
I'm listening to it in 2024
🎉
This song has so many memories attached to it ❤
The way this girl sings this song is so captivating and she is so into the rhythm of it with her facial expressions. Just love it! This song is still a hit after all these years.
The bass in this song kills it!
Brad Houser. Absolute beast.
Your breath kills it more
@@creepyzeek1 Never heard that song?
@@flamingangel999
Song by the band, Halitosis.
@@creepyzeek1 Isn't their drummers name Tic Tac?
Who is listening to this in 2020?👋🏻
And still rocking to it in 2023 👑
I am for sure
Indeed I am and please choke me in shallow water 😂
Still a good song. That whole album was solid, not clinker of song to be found A side or B or side.

I'm here because someone sent me.
I've since removed them as a friend.

Since 1992...
Thank you for using the correct word. Another (copycat for likes ?) asked this same thing a week after you did but they got more likes and comments (undeserving). You omitted the apostrophe but at least you didn't add an E.
THIS is an 80s tune??? I wouldve NEVER ever have guessed.
Yeah I'm 28 and I thought myself a 80s fan and I didn't discover this until a couple of years ago. I love it.
was a few years ahead of the Coffee House curve of the 90s
Exactly 1989 to be clear
But This puke shit soundzlike no-life infamous 90's crappyttude decade
MAGA 1-20-2025
I'm 52, this lady...damn I miss my youth, she brings it right back. Thanks, music lives on.
I don't know WHY Edie Brickell wasn't a bigger star. Seriously, so much talent.
She married Paul Simon, and that was that :(
What about the band?
Maybe because no one knows what she means
@@jacobgreen6939 They married Art Garfunkel lol
Blame Paul Simon
Can't believe this was 88....😮😮😮
Same, thought it was from the 90s.
I cant believe that shes married to paul simon whos 25 years older.
🙏🏽❣️✌🏽. Listening to this 2024. Timeless masterpiece..
This is one of those songs that reminds me of good times.
precisely
+Mark shiskabob I know what you mean.
I know what I know.
definitely
+Scorness geez, my Cry Baby wah pedal (at the 2:40 here) is older than you :)
Such a classic!!! Still jammin' it in 2023
❤️💯
🎉❤💃🎶June 2023!!
Yea!! ❤
July 2023
Me also !! July 2023 ❤🎶
Sounds like 2020s looks like 1990s released in the 1980s. This is gold.
Way ahead of its time!
The instrumentation of this is SO good.
Flushing toilet is more classy than this
The guitar tone is incredibly warm and beautiful.
@@clacala of course. the guitar solo is addicting to me. want to jump up and dance with Edie...and you know I am not a dance guy.
They went way beyond the nineties. There are still so many bands today that seem to base their stage presence off of this video. For nearly 25 years now this song has sounded like it could have been released yesterday!
have to agree. I heard this song in 2008 and thought it had just come out. that bass line is killer
Nah, pure 90's , todays pop music, is STUCK in the pseudo 80's revival.
Like what bands?
@@Peter1999Videos this came out in the 80's
I LOVE this comment! And yes, cool is cool and will always be cool!
Shooting Rubber Bands At The Stars is an album that never ages. No filler songs, the whole album is good. This is original "alt rock" when the genre was relevant and actually had some balls.
WHO'S STILL LISTENING IN 2024?
Uuuh that would be me
People who have good taste in real non-electronic music are listening to this more advanced old-school ultimate music you computer wimp.
Bought the album, truly brilliant! We need this music more than ever
20 April 2024!!!!
Yup saw here on Earth Day I think it was like 1983 at liberty State Park Jersey City.
27 years old here. I remember this from my childhood along with many other older songs so listening now makes this warm nostalgic feeling wash over me. I feel sorry for anyone who has trouble experiencing that it's one of the best feelings
I can’t remember how my mother got this cassette tape from me but when she heard Edie Brickell sing, she was immediately hooked like so many of us. Rest in peace, Mother… This one is for you!💙💙💙
This song written in the 80s with a 90s sound from a woman from Texas with a style that comes from Seattle.
well said
Indeed
Quaker Oats and is now famous for knocking the shit out of Paul Simon. lol.
Steriotype much?
It's true...these guys were 90's 2 full years before the decade happened
Very very very good arrangement, instrumentalists, and of course Edie’s vibe.
Truly a beautiful lady with a angelic voice.
I was in love with this song as a kid... now finally i've found it.
this song and joey by concrete blonde were my favorites.
We will save the world.
Man... Same here. I was looking for this song for years and finally found it.
lol, me too.
Same - it was always on my mind , but more back in The shadows. which makes up most of my mind some days lol.
Still listening in 2018, 30 Years later! ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the kick in the gut for a sec... ;)
Overland History Of course, good music will never die ... like ACID too ... 😉
30 years? Really?!?
Yes this is from 1988
Yup bin since a kid thnks too Mtv . 37 rem it well . 90's music be always timeless. 2018 30 yrs old already FUCK im old damnit 2hells!!!!
Nunca supe quien la cantava hasta hoy .. como adoraba esa voz
I’m listening in 2024
My dads birthday today. My mom passed away when I was 17. I am now 25. He just told me her favorite music so this is what I'm listening to.. 12:31 a.m. October 6th, 2019.
My wife also has her birthday on oct 6 so happy birthday all
❤️
Yeah.....
I'm sorry for your lost.
It gets easier trust me
This song was a few years ahead of its time, so interesting. Even the looks, it's so 90s! Love it.
@ciao214Z okay buddy 🙄
I remember people singing this.
"I'm not aware of too many things but I know that it burns when I pee."
You’re right on
@@Dan.R.Abut he's right? It was on the airwaves at the same time as Janet Jackson and Robert Palmer and Jefferson starship
@@gwendolenyoung4198 I know. I specifically said that this song was a few years ahead of its time, because to me, this song and videoclip APPEAR LIKE they are from the 90s, even though they are not.
this takes me back in a good time in my life
This was far ahead of its time. Awesome music!!!
Probably haven't hear this song in at least 25 years but randomly woke up with it in my head. So dang catchy.
2 days I had to get up for work at 340 am with this song singing in my head. So weird
you could do worse
This is a 80's song that sounds like a 90's song.
Crazy right?!
Played all the time in the early 90s on MTV.
I wonder how many songs one can think of that were ahead of their time.
Between this, the early Gin Blossoms and Candlebox, was the transition point, in my opinion, to that true 90s sound. You can still hear a bit of "80s synth wave" in this song.
@@3boxop633 I think you're confusing synth for the wah pedal the guitarist uses here. Which is more associated with late 60s and 70s psychedelic rock and funk
1995 was good years
Wow, haven't heard this one in over twenty years. Loved it when it came out.
That guitar solo is SO good.
But this is an abbreviated version. The full version of the solo is even better.
very Jerry!
@@tefilobraga the r and b group intro sampled it for their song "love thang" i love both songs :D
jerry style 100%
I have her album on cassette and it did not have this version you hear here. My cassette had a longer version of this and you can hear the solo at its fullest. This was the version that when she starts with "I'm not aware of too many things.....", she sings it twice instead of once. I like that version better.
I'm so old I remember when MTV only played music videos 24/7...
I miss the days of chillin in front of MTV and just watching music videos ALL DAY LONG!!!
@@audrapierce181 Now we have to chill in front of a computer and watch music videos on demand on youtube all day long. How awful life has become!
Me too! Just be calm! There are still some of us alive! Grin, doing a poor Matrix thing! Whatever!
@@delshoemaker7616 hahahaha...I gave up on MTV decades ago...I stick to cds and TH-cam for my music nowadays....
@@Dominian1 Actually it is harder! For better or worse, time goes on! Can't stop it! It's alright once you come to terms with that fact!
That is what makes this era of music the very best... The diversity and the ACTUAL talent!!!!! I said what I said!!! Musical talent and creativity 💪🏾💯👍🏾
I'm genuinely surprised this is an 80's song
Definitely has a mid 90's vibe
Wow......... I was 17 when this came out....... now I'm 48......... This song sounds just as excellent now as it did way back when......
You must aging gracefully!
Same here......where did 30 years go?
It holds up very well.
Timeless . . ..
The whole Shooting Rubberbands At The Stars album has aged very well. Actually i like it even better now than i used to like it back then. It's really really good.
Such a good guitar solo in this. No one used the wah wah pedal at that time and it sounded sooo good here.
That's a Boss TW-1 Touch Wah pedal on the solo. It's sensitive to how hard you pick the guitar strings - light picking causes minimal wah effect, and heavy picking gives a strong wah sound. Definitely a unique pedal.
2.22.2024 here. Remember this new.
Geez, Edie Brickell is so gorgeous in that "girl next door" kind of way.
Still holding up in her old age! Sorry Edie! Look amazing! No disrespect!
She married Paul Simon not long after
@@delshoemaker7616 use the word older not old you'll sound less rude .then you won't have to apologise
@@waitingmp it was a " surprise " age difference 🤨but they compliment eachother .
@@dfangirl72 Act my age ? What? Whatever,
I will never stop loving this song. It gets better with age
Nope
It was bad then and now.
Timeless Classic
A song I'd completely forgotten about, nice to hear it again.
What a simple pretty song, sung by a beautiful woman. ROCK ON!
they played a small venue in Chicago in '88 or '89, and in between songs Edie kept talking off-mic, and I shouted 'i love you!' She laughed and smiled and said 'i love you too!' and went into this song. Outstanding!
Kirsten loves this band andhot guyworldnever changedhow does a guy get anything she'sa girl andshe learned to play a guitar not tennis a older guy had one andthey fucked enough while she at ea and alol the womonin womyn in the universe got so fat she stolehis guitar finaly finally i'm out of my case of saltines and Saltines without buttter butter cigerette without a umjmm butter idea is like no salt anyway she had it forgot she stole it had sex with this onep person and the real duet of two penis men is the oldest sad last stump for my girl baby shoes without a sock missing they were friends and she stole a guitar and learned to play for a dad she found a photo of and it is this she gave God
Holy shit I was there I remember exactly this.
Amazing, I heard this song yesterday driving car (Warsaw POLAND) , I know this song from past....but first time see today this VidClip ;-) She looks so natural and feels easy, crazy see it now in Plastic dolls era.
Workn in a restaurant 1990, still on the ❣️‼️ 2024 Super Bowl 🥣 Sunday.
When I first heard this song back in the '80's I said to myself: "That's a different sound, from a different band with a different take on things. It'll turn out to be a hit." I was right.
hehehe, same here, loved it than love it now
Liar. You were listening to Whitesnake and bleaching your mullet when this came out.
30 years on, still fresh AF.
Stop. This song is not thirty years old. Making me feel all old.
Por fin te encontréeee, te busqué por más de 20 años, no te encontraba porque no sabía el nombre de la canción ni de la cantante. Gracias a Ticktok que me lo puso en bandeja estoy acá disfrutando esta canción después de 30 años aproximadamente que ya no escuchaba. Las pinches emisoras no lo ponen, al menos en mi ciudad.
Can we please go full circle and bring back music like this
Such an underrated guitar solo...
and probably one of the best
It's really cool, but too much bass wah
An 80's song that sounds like a 90's song that wants to be a '60-'70s song.
I do mean that in the best way possible. I absolutely love this song and the vibes.
As always, a classic.
I totally agree!! It has that 60s freedom lyrics and that 90s beat. So ahead of its time! I guess :D
Exactly!
Neo-Hippie was a wonderous time, short as it was!
Late 80s Deep Ellum (Dallas) style... well, one of the styles. I was a highschool kid back then, but the clubs weren't exactly strict when it came to checking IDs. Anyways, there was a pretty good and innovative alternative scene.
Brilliant comment
2024 🙌🏻
❤ This song has always been magical to me ❤
This song is my whole childhood 🎉❤
Found this CD at a thrift store and had to get it for my daughter who is in her first year of college like I was when I first heard it!
Sign of a great artist/album - it has stood the test of time. Sounds just as meaningful as it did to me all those years ago and I hope my daughter finds the same power and inspiration from it.
I know what I know!
damn I forgot how much I loved this song...and how fucking gorgeous was Edie?!!!
ikr. It's just that laid-back mellow groove, and her awesome voice. I love the guitar bridge (or whatever its called) at 2:10 , i like that style. Edie, yup she was hot imho. That wild hair, nice dark eyes and a cute smile. And unlike todays "artists" she didnt have make-up plastered on with a trowel.
Chris. G couldn't have said it better!!
Amy Amy u
man! she was so hot!!!
John Campana no what?
That guitar solo is simple but to the point. It makes the song complete.
Talented artist
Una de mis canciones favoritas de los 80s. Un éxito, pero el grupo intentó en vano posicionar otras melodías en el mercado. Nada fue igual, como la primera.
Came here for the ahead of its time comments. It really is. I‘d believe it if you told me the song came out as late as ‘96 or ‘97 if I didn’t know better.
