Came here because this song stuck in my head out of nowhere this morning (happens to me from time to time). Stayed for - OH MY GOD - I totally forgot how hot Stacie Orrico is.
You forgot our girl Vanessa Carlton also...ya know....making my way downtown, walking fast, faces pass and I'm home bound ;) White Chicks never let us forget it. LOL
It's so weird how this song resonates with people who were teenagers when this song came out and are now in their 30s and are only now realising how relevant the message is. It's like a secret all kids born between 1988 and 1995 share
man for real.... i'm working 11am-9pm each week, 2 off days, and i barely have time for myself as i'll be helping out my family during off days and don't get me started on time flying by fast these days.. you just can't absorb and appreciate the times during off days as much smh
I am 32 years old and this song came out when I was extremely impressionable and just getting into listening music. I still remember bellowing the lyrics loudly along with my sister. Been feeling extremely nostalgic as of late, as I slowly enter the mid-phase of my adulthood, and this song jusy randomly popped out of nowhere while I was browsing my facebook which was also something I hadn't done in years. The lyrics cut so deep now, and I relate to it on a level that moves me to tears. The 00s were a special time for those born in the 90s I am sure.
This song is so relatable to her fans now more than ever, me included. We are all near and over 30s now. Its incredible how boring our lives turned out to be.
Indeed! Just as the song says, there are temporary highs, but other than that it's like ground hog day. Especially since this Corona thing came along and the world became more of a mess than it always was.
@@charlalar14 the sad thing is corona will never go away and people are treating it like an epedemic, corona is here to stay, we all wear masks and wash our hands yet it just doesnt stop, if the end is near corona is the beginning of it
Spot on. there is more. Stacie Orrico poses the question not leave you in a depressed place but to hint you toward seeking what is more and what is truely satisfying - I’ll give you a hint - Stacie Orrico is Christian…. Humankind longs for this. Realising the things of this world are temporary highs is often the first step in uncovering what is truly valuable.. Stacie puts this forward in her song in hope that you would take that step. 1:56 key change. that’s music language for a crescendo, for hope! Take care.
Being an adult & on my 30s now makes me appreciate this song so much.... Living in a world where you constantly need to work hard, keep up with life, always be productive, and earn more money to be considered successful.... It's exhausting..it also makes you wonder if life really has to be this way... you go to school, graduate, get a job..then when you finally found that job .. you're always hustling just to meet ends... and to top it off, you're not even sure if what you're doing with your life is right.. There's gotta be more to life than this...😭😭
This comment is so relatable. I'm in my early 30's with a degree and a career but still I think to myself that there's gotta be more to life, more than this. That's why I searched for this song in the middle of the night.
Well said. Also in my 30s and can completely relate. The meaning of this now is completely different to what it was over half a lifetime ago. You’re not alone on this I assure you.
@The Dark Forest what you mean is one day you woke up and lost the passion in your life to become more then just a corporate slave who works endless 9 to 5 for trivial gratification
@The Dark Forest it would be very interesting to find out what you finally decided what was important to you in life if you have the secret then by all means feel free to share.
For most, life is a constant scramble to satisfy desires and avoid the undesirable. Craving for the new and attachment to the old is the root of suffering. This is a core principle of Buddhism.
@@DavidAbisaiGomez Before that, take a look at all the comments saying that Stacie is a christian and her songs are all about Jesus 😄 that's why so many people (and myself) were misunderstanding the lyrics all this years xD And I wasn't trying to be mean 🥰
I'm just hitting 30, this year is the worst for me. My fiance dumped me, Got depressed, failed suicide attempt and last week I got laid off. Life sure is tough

I feel like that I literally lived all these careers. And life got me down, Domestic violent relationship, son taken away, job after job after job, finally away from him working to get my son back and studying somestuc violence.

Ephesians 6:11 - Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Stacie was so underrated. I can't believe she never got nominated for a Grammy. Her pop songs have real messages and she is an amazing vocalist as well. I remember watching this on TRL and was impressed with how she was able to compete in the mainstream against all the other girls who shed skin to sell (Ashanti, Britney, J.Lo, Beyoncé, Christina, etc.)
She was nominated for Best contemporary Gospel album in 2004 for this gem, her sophomore album. You're totally right, she was compiting with the other girls without getting naked or selling a bad girl image.
Awww! Haven't heard this song in a whiiiile lol. Glad YT recommended it today. I remember my teenage self singing along to this song while it's playing on MTV. Great times. Now I'm 34 and this song hits on a different level. Like frfr!!! But hey, life keeps going and we should too. Thanks for the quick time travel. ❤ Missing the good old days!
Is funny when this song came out I loved it, but I didn´t get the real meaning of it since I was only a teenager worried with my "teenager problems", but now that I´m 26 and I know how the "real world" works, these song gets a deeper meaning, I know I'm sure I´m not the onlyone am I?....
Never related to a song more. I feel i lived like all these scenes. Domestic violent relationship, lost my son, working pay check to pay check to pay for my shitty one bedroom falling appart appartment. Now hes out of my life im working to get into police as a domestic violence officer and working to get my son back. You cant change the past, but if you're just living your wont ever be happy.
I can relate also! I was a violent relationship for six years, I've been evicted, I've lived pay check to pay check, heck I've even danced when I was really struggling! I also kinda lost my two sons, I had them taken away but by the grace of God my mom was able to have them. I hope ur doing ok hun, and I hope u get ur little boy back! Never give up!
I'm seriously surprised a pop song has such meaningful lyrics. These are probably one of the most meaningful lyrics I've heard in any song, coupled with the video, the insight you can get from this video is incredible. There is more to life than all of the experiences accumulated. The happiness, the freedom, the contentment is not within the experiences, no matter how diverse and plentiful. It is hidden in plain sight. It is right where you are...but only visible once you stop looking.
Wow, it’s 2023 and this song still rings true and sounds so amazing. Life is really putting me through the ringer but there’s got to be more to life. 🙏🏾💗
Hope things start looking up for you bro Hold you head up King. Don’t fall into the rat race… the same generic stuff people are brainwashed to commit their lives to. Look deeper and think about what “You” want. Often makes life a lot simpler and less pressured. Don’t live your life to impress anyone.
It seems, but every Christian song is about accepting Jesus (the "more" in life). Every single one. All of them. I know Christian people and they're always "pushing" me to accept Jesus 😑 dense... But their songs are cool, sometimes.
@@veronicagorosito187 you're not far off. The thing we're missing in our lives is God. Its the one thing we're all running from, the one thing that escapes us. We'll never be whole less we rekindle with our Creator🥺🥺
@@veronicagorosito187 never accept Jesus because you were forced by Us Christians. You must love Jesus and choose to be with him yourself, else its all in vain. You know what to do though. We all do.
I was a teenager back then when this song came out. Somehow made me feel nostalgic for something i hadn't lived yet. Now I'm grown up and it all makes sense.
If you are one of the person who was there when this song came out, i hope by now you have sorted out your life. Don't let another day goes by without figuring it out with God. You were 18 then and now 40 today and 60 comes very quickly before you realize. Psalms 90:12 o teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom
This is such a good song. I think pop used to be so much deeper back then. I mean this was trendy and all, but it has power and heart. Most pop today lacks this and it’s about generic lyrics to sell 🤷🏻♂️
When I was in my teenage years I sang along to this while watching on MTv not knowing how deep this song was but now I can relate so much to this as an adult.
Same! I bought this on CD, and used to blast it out in my bedroom, knowing the lyrics, but never understanding them on a relatable level. Now as an adult, this song is actually really sad to listen to, because I feel every lyric. Life sucks most of the time as an adult, apart from the occasional temporary high.
Triggers me when people say they miss the old days with all the good music that it had, not like todays music. It's not gone people!!! You can still listen to the old music!
Great song. This is what people are forgetting. You think this life is all about getting millions, having the most expensive cars, biggest mansions, hottest partners, trendiest clothes, and unquenchable fame? A lot of people got those, but guess what? They still kill themselves (abruptly and gradually). Because, indeed, there's gonna be more in this life than chasing down every TEMPORARY highs. :-)
This was a wonderful song it show cases just why the industry's in such a mess nowadays cause they only care about money or top houses,cars,women or top brand name clothes or sex in videos
This song is so deep. For me it speaks of how we are wrapped up in samsara, living through the highs and the lows, another birth, another death and in this all we are wondering: There's gotta be more to life... and we ask how we can transcend it all...
I once asked Stacy Orrico on an online chat as to the meaning of the final scene. Apparently, she was looking in sadness at all the 'unsaved' people... Food for thought.
No one is ever unjustifably depressed. I know how depression works better then any doctor but spreading my beliefs is near impossible on this planet so hopefully i can help some people here. Depression comes from a lack of needs. When an individual lacks a basic necessity need such as money, a home or food, a dependent need such as friends, family or loved ones, or an independent need such as self acompolishments, completed goals or self worth they will feel depressed everytime they realize they are lacking the need. Depression is curable and it is cured by finding all of the depressive factors an individual has and attempting to solve them. People with severe depression could have 4 or more depressive factors but they can all be solved if doctors knew anything about depression and how it worked. Medication only makes the individual forget about their depressive factors it does not solve them so depression will remain until all depressive factors are solved. Anyways my point is nobody is unjustifiably depressed. Most people will get depressed if they lack any human need throughout their life. More awareness of how depression works and how to solve it would help millions but doctors are to busy selling drugs so drug companys can make money to find the truths i know. Hopefully this helps someone out there
@@godschosenone-rw4so yes. But also as a teenager things can seem way worse than they really are. And teenagers get "depressed" without anything being really wrong. Just teenage hormones. ❤️
@@godschosenone-rw4so There's depression and situational depression. I think a lot of us were situationally depressed because you can't just get rid of depression by changing your circumstances.
@@godschosenone-rw4so i agree. There used to be a time during high school when I didn't experience any kind of stress at all. I was thriving academically, i wasn't being bullied and i found new friends that were more like me.
According to society you would not be able to build a house, grow vegetables, have your self water system, construct a car and even not bei able to teach yourself how to drive, you'd need someone to teach your kids, extinguish fire, you would not even be able to make music, or invent a website where you can share or play your music, and the worse of it, society thinks you are not even able to protect yourself in case of agression and that you would call the cops instead! So they ask competent people to do it for you, and that's how some of them have to work! /sarcasmEnd ... Well, our society is really not perfect but if people have boring jobs, most of the time they are either unable to do otherwise, or they can admit it's a good price paid for all the other things that this society can provide us. Just don't be this unemployed guy who pretend to hate society, but just takes what he wants from it, leaving the shit to the others. Most people and so do I have a job that does not please them, but just see the pro and con of leaving it. Most people get to the conclusion that if you are not happy with your job, you have still no choice if you are seeking happiness in another part of your personal life. It's shitty but that's why most people, and so do I, would like not to work but just can't leave their job easily. There are good things in this society, we could not necessarily be on our way all alone.
Man what a fucking tune. Im a metal head now but happy to admit this shit makes me feel alive again dude. This was a truly golden era of music where pop music were actual songs with instruments and shit. I wonna feel this alive again man.
Such an excellent song, catchy pop music with a great message. There's gotta be more to life. Can't believe it's been 12 years. I feel old as a 25-yearold.
WOW!!! Where was this song? I had to close my eyes and let the song take me back to my youth. This is crazy. I used to listen to this song over and over before the internet was on every phone, before every phone was in ever hand and before every hand was always protesting something. Listening to the words now I can't believe how meaningful this song is. I listened to this pop song a million times but I never really understood the message until today, now that I'm listening to it as an adult. I'm sad that the world doesn't really create music with content this meaningful anymore. I'm still relatively young but I'm glad I've lived long enough to see the difference with my own eyes and recognize the self-fulfilling prophecy in the message. Take me back to the days associated with the nostalgia that I feel listening to this good clean song because I want to tell my younger self to listen more closely to the lyrics...
I remember when this song and video was released. Great choreography, very attractive woman. Amazing how different she looked as each character. She could sing too, 2003 seems like a lifetime ago.
When the song came out, it was the most played song for its tune and of course its Stacie singing it. Now that I've hit my 30s, this song speaks my heart out in wanting to do something more than just the regular 9-5 daily job.
Jessica Delisha love ur comment, its relevant to the song message and context rather than loving the song and about her the artist. I also love it, really connecting with it as of late.
I started singing this song this morning, even though I haven't heard it in years and listening to right now.... I couldn't think of a more perfect song to outline my life right now... 29yrs old and thinking there's gotta be more to life....

The Blood Contract - as they all call it, and at the end of it, the biggest price to pay.
Why did they fell? - because mankind is no longer raised up with the truth and in the truth.
Proverbs 22:6 - Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Sadly we do the opposite with the younger generations and train them up all the ways they should not go. Leaving them in danger of getting tempted by satan and without the Armour of GOD.
Ephesians 6:11 - Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Is it just me that my heart feels a certain type of way whenever I hear this song
Her vocal is sharp and clear and defined. My personal opinion.
I appreciate this song even more now that I’m in my late thirties.

Stacie was so underrated. I can't believe she never got nominated for a Grammy. Her pop songs have real messages and she is an amazing vocalist as well. I remember watching this on TRL and was impressed with how she was able to compete in the mainstream against all the other girls who shed skin to sell (Ashanti, Britney, J.Lo, Beyoncé, Christina, etc.)
She refused to give up her integrity for a piece of metal.
She was nominated for Best contemporary Gospel album in 2004 for this gem, her sophomore album. You're totally right, she was compiting with the other girls without getting naked or selling a bad girl image.
Devout Catholics are never welcome in Grammys
Cuz she's a Christian not freemason artist!
10 years later I still love this song!! Stacie is so lovely!
Miss the early 2000s..😢
Awww! Haven't heard this song in a whiiiile lol. Glad YT recommended it today. I remember my teenage self singing along to this song while it's playing on MTV. Great times. Now I'm 34 and this song hits on a different level. Like frfr!!! But hey, life keeps going and we should too. Thanks for the quick time travel. ❤ Missing the good old days!
Is funny when this song came out I loved it, but I didn´t get the real meaning of it since I was only a teenager worried with my "teenager problems", but now that I´m 26 and I know how the "real world" works, these song gets a deeper meaning, I know I'm sure I´m not the onlyone am I?....
Certainly not the only one!
just what I was thinking!
me too
couldn't agree with you more!
same!! 30 and a mum now and the lyrics finally make real sense
Never related to a song more. I feel i lived like all these scenes. Domestic violent relationship, lost my son, working pay check to pay check to pay for my shitty one bedroom falling appart appartment. Now hes out of my life im working to get into police as a domestic violence officer and working to get my son back. You cant change the past, but if you're just living your wont ever be happy.
Cassandra Fowler prayers to you 🙏🏽
I can relate also! I was a violent relationship for six years, I've been evicted, I've lived pay check to pay check, heck I've even danced when I was really struggling! I also kinda lost my two sons, I had them taken away but by the grace of God my mom was able to have them. I hope ur doing ok hun, and I hope u get ur little boy back! Never give up!
❤
Holy shit! That sounds extremely tough! Good luck to you!
I wish you all the best , keep working so hard you’re the best 👏👏👏👍👍👍👍💪💪💪
I’m in my 30’s and now I finally felt the real meaning of this song.. Im missing Stacie and I always play this and Stuck 🥹
As someone who first heard this when I was a teenager, I can testify that this song hits so much different when you're in your 30s. 🥺
Gosh! I remember loving Stacie, JoJo and Kelly Clarkson's music back when this came out.
YES YES YES GOD YES
Totally! I remember at that time Hilary Duff, JoJo, Ashlee Simpson, Stacie Orrico running the charts.
The realest lyrics you'll ever hear in a pop song. I can't listen to this without shading a tear.
Neither can I :(
I can't listen to this without thinking what the hell i'm doing with my life...there's gotta be more...
Stand by Jewel is a meaningful pop song too.
I'm seriously surprised a pop song has such meaningful lyrics. These are probably one of the most meaningful lyrics I've heard in any song, coupled with the video, the insight you can get from this video is incredible. There is more to life than all of the experiences accumulated. The happiness, the freedom, the contentment is not within the experiences, no matter how diverse and plentiful. It is hidden in plain sight. It is right where you are...but only visible once you stop looking.
That's mainly because it subtly expresses the Christian faith which Stacie has which not everyone knows about
Wow, it’s 2023 and this song still rings true and sounds so amazing. Life is really putting me through the ringer but there’s got to be more to life. 🙏🏾💗
Hope things start looking up for you bro
Hold you head up King. Don’t fall into the rat race… the same generic stuff people are brainwashed to commit their lives to. Look deeper and think about what “You” want. Often makes life a lot simpler and less pressured. Don’t live your life to impress anyone.
Allah loves all of us. This worldly life is nothing but a beautiful lie and a temporary enjoyment.
More to life has a Christian meaning 🙏🏼
Stacie Orrico anticipated the self-optimization addiction on social media back then already. It is insane.
It seems, but every Christian song is about accepting Jesus (the "more" in life).
Every single one. All of them.
I know Christian people and they're always "pushing" me to accept Jesus 😑 dense...
But their songs are cool, sometimes.
Wow self-optimisation So so true MG … I had to use an S I’m Australian 😂😂🙏🏾 wow that hit deep
@@veronicagorosito187 you're not far off. The thing we're missing in our lives is God. Its the one thing we're all running from, the one thing that escapes us. We'll never be whole less we rekindle with our Creator🥺🥺
@@veronicagorosito187 never accept Jesus because you were forced by Us Christians. You must love Jesus and choose to be with him yourself, else its all in vain.
You know what to do though. We all do.
@@_ChildofYeshua_Jesus can only change the heart. No one can force you to accept Him if you don't wanna.
I was a teenager back then when this song came out. Somehow made me feel nostalgic for something i hadn't lived yet. Now I'm grown up and it all makes sense.
If you are one of the person who was there when this song came out, i hope by now you have sorted out your life. Don't let another day goes by without figuring it out with God. You were 18 then and now 40 today and 60 comes very quickly before you realize. Psalms 90:12 o teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom
Que saudade desse pop limpo e raiz ♥️
Stacie, Branch, Lavigne (when she's good),, I grew up listening 'em... Good ol days 😊
+Wilson Gozal go to my channel there's a playlist with songs from the good old days hope you like it :D
+ jennifer love hewitt and hillary duff
Omg! I forgot about Michelle branch.
JoJo aswell
This is such a good song.
I think pop used to be so much deeper back then. I mean this was trendy and all, but it has power and heart. Most pop today lacks this and it’s about generic lyrics to sell 🤷🏻♂️
this song and video concept is everithing
When I was in my teenage years I sang along to this while watching on MTv not knowing how deep this song was but now I can relate so much to this as an adult.
Same! I bought this on CD, and used to blast it out in my bedroom, knowing the lyrics, but never understanding them on a relatable level.
Now as an adult, this song is actually really sad to listen to, because I feel every lyric. Life sucks most of the time as an adult, apart from the occasional temporary high.
TH-cam's algorithm is weird but hey I like this song.
Ivy Sultan yea wth? Hahah what even?
Lol 2020 Quarentine
She looks so good with that huge curly hair!
Triggers me when people say they miss the old days with all the good music that it had, not like todays music. It's not gone people!!! You can still listen to the old music!
So many of us in our 30s still relating to this song as much as we did when we were 15 or whatever…Let’s just keep searching ay…
The song 19-20 years old now, I'm 41 and relating to it.
@@Palpac you and me both! Stay strong wherever you are
Great song. This is what people are forgetting. You think this life is all about getting millions, having the most expensive cars, biggest mansions, hottest partners, trendiest clothes, and unquenchable fame? A lot of people got those, but guess what? They still kill themselves (abruptly and gradually). Because, indeed, there's gonna be more in this life than chasing down every TEMPORARY highs. :-)
yupp
precisely!
This was a wonderful song it show cases just why the industry's in such a mess nowadays cause they only care about money or top houses,cars,women or top brand name clothes or sex in videos
Everything that you said is a gold, if only everyone realize about that though
Maybe back then what you say was true. Not anymore.
This song is so deep. For me it speaks of how we are wrapped up in samsara, living through the highs and the lows, another birth, another death and in this all we are wondering: There's gotta be more to life... and we ask how we can transcend it all...
I hate that she's so underrated. She deserved a way better career. I love her voice and falsetto 💙.
This song randomly popped into my head after decades. Took me straight back to the good, carefree times!
I once asked Stacy Orrico on an online chat as to the meaning of the final scene.
Apparently, she was looking in sadness at all the 'unsaved' people...
Food for thought.
Pacifica Northwest this gave me goosebumps…
Damn, what a beautiful soul
The main reason why she left from mainstream to do charity work.
Omg I totally forgot about this song. This was my jam when I was unjustifably depressed in my early teens.
No one is ever unjustifably depressed. I know how depression works better then any doctor but spreading my beliefs is near impossible on this planet so hopefully i can help some people here. Depression comes from a lack of needs. When an individual lacks a basic necessity need such as money, a home or food, a dependent need such as friends, family or loved ones, or an independent need such as self acompolishments, completed goals or self worth they will feel depressed everytime they realize they are lacking the need. Depression is curable and it is cured by finding all of the depressive factors an individual has and attempting to solve them. People with severe depression could have 4 or more depressive factors but they can all be solved if doctors knew anything about depression and how it worked. Medication only makes the individual forget about their depressive factors it does not solve them so depression will remain until all depressive factors are solved.
Anyways my point is nobody is unjustifiably depressed. Most people will get depressed if they lack any human need throughout their life. More awareness of how depression works and how to solve it would help millions but doctors are to busy selling drugs so drug companys can make money to find the truths i know. Hopefully this helps someone out there
@@godschosenone-rw4so yes. But also as a teenager things can seem way worse than they really are. And teenagers get "depressed" without anything being really wrong. Just teenage hormones. ❤️
@@godschosenone-rw4so you gave me something, i give you something. Read more about gifted minds pls.
@@godschosenone-rw4so There's depression and situational depression. I think a lot of us were situationally depressed because you can't just get rid of depression by changing your circumstances.
@@godschosenone-rw4so i agree. There used to be a time during high school when I didn't experience any kind of stress at all. I was thriving academically, i wasn't being bullied and i found new friends that were more like me.
I'm 37 now, still listen stacy, avril, michelle branch, ashley simpson, hillary duff, natalie imbruglia and other. Nostalgia❤
Jesus is that more and Stacie composed such a great song for everyone to ponder on the meaning of life 😌
According to society, the meaning of life is sitting behind a desk for 40+ years barely being able to survive
Right!!
So well explained, thank you 👏🏼
It’s so sad.
Yeah and it's normally a job you hate smh
According to society you would not be able to build a house, grow vegetables, have your self water system, construct a car and even not bei able to teach yourself how to drive, you'd need someone to teach your kids, extinguish fire, you would not even be able to make music, or invent a website where you can share or play your music, and the worse of it, society thinks you are not even able to protect yourself in case of agression and that you would call the cops instead! So they ask competent people to do it for you, and that's how some of them have to work! /sarcasmEnd
... Well, our society is really not perfect but if people have boring jobs, most of the time they are either unable to do otherwise, or they can admit it's a good price paid for all the other things that this society can provide us. Just don't be this unemployed guy who pretend to hate society, but just takes what he wants from it, leaving the shit to the others.
Most people and so do I have a job that does not please them, but just see the pro and con of leaving it. Most people get to the conclusion that if you are not happy with your job, you have still no choice if you are seeking happiness in another part of your personal life. It's shitty but that's why most people, and so do I, would like not to work but just can't leave their job easily. There are good things in this society, we could not necessarily be on our way all alone.
Screw society 🖕😜and do what you want
Who's still listening this??? I love her!!!
Me! 😍
There’s gotta be more to life then chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me…Absolute poetry wrapping up 2022 and wanting more for 2023 🎉
Didn’t understand the lyrics when I was younger. Now it resonates so so much ❤❤
music nowadays dont have deep meaning like this anymore
And then....the songs used to have such great melodic line....harmonic...emotional...you could really feel it.... ;)
True that
So I think you should listen trance music :)
rajifusama sure it does just shake it off shake it off
deep meaning intercourse then yes
No matter how old I get, Stacie Orrico will always be the girl that got away. :(
Stefan Thompson Yeah, I know what you mean... That facial mole spells out all kinds of SEX-AY :)
hahaha. yeah bro
Damn I'm 33 and came here to find people around the same age are back here too
Me three
Man what a fucking tune. Im a metal head now but happy to admit this shit makes me feel alive again dude. This was a truly golden era of music where pop music were actual songs with instruments and shit. I wonna feel this alive again man.
Yep!!!!!!!!!
same!!
I absolutely love metal too, my favourite type if music but some of these oldies from when I was a child just hit differently. The nostalgia 🥰
@@savannahelouisa Yep
Such an excellent song, catchy pop music with a great message. There's gotta be more to life.
Can't believe it's been 12 years. I feel old as a 25-yearold.
+The Reasonable Christian I know! We should have been responsible adults by now but I still feel 13
I know, right? I feel younger too :-)
+The Reasonable Christian this is back to my 17 year old self
Good times, eh? ;-) I miss my childhood
me too! i used to watch this videoclip after school and also had it in my mp3 xD... I still love the song.
Loved this chick. She had a few great tracks. Hope she makes a comeback.
Ive just turned 30 and the lyrics hit soooooo much now than before. This is crazy... Ugh I understand Stacie now
Jesus Loves you Azzababy, there IS more to Life.
@@kroikye Thank you 💛🙏 I hope you have a nice day
As a kid: Yeah this song is nice.
As an adult: Lyrics hitting harder than I remember...
Exactly
WOW!!! Where was this song? I had to close my eyes and let the song take me back to my youth. This is crazy. I used to listen to this song over and over before the internet was on every phone, before every phone was in ever hand and before every hand was always protesting something. Listening to the words now I can't believe how meaningful this song is. I listened to this pop song a million times but I never really understood the message until today, now that I'm listening to it as an adult. I'm sad that the world doesn't really create music with content this meaningful anymore. I'm still relatively young but I'm glad I've lived long enough to see the difference with my own eyes and recognize the self-fulfilling prophecy in the message. Take me back to the days associated with the nostalgia that I feel listening to this good clean song because I want to tell my younger self to listen more closely to the lyrics...
This song saved from depression and suicide when I was 17 years old. Thank you 🙏
I'm 19 it's saving me now
Que bom, graças à Deus 🙌🏾
Not everyone knows this, but the 'more to life' in these lyrics is knowing Christ which gives meaning and purpose to us. 🙏🏼
I remember when this song and video was released. Great choreography, very attractive woman. Amazing how different she looked as each character. She could sing too, 2003 seems like a lifetime ago.
When the song came out, it was the most played song for its tune and of course its Stacie singing it. Now that I've hit my 30s, this song speaks my heart out in wanting to do something more than just the regular 9-5 daily job.
This song keeps me grounded. Keeps me sane. Keeps my feet on the ground. Reminds me what really matters in life. Im crying 😭
the chorus gives me goosebumps (the good ones)
Tears in my eyes when I realized that there'll be never music and music videos like this again 😢
If you search this song by yourself you're a legend ☺️✨
this song has such a great message
Jessica Delisha love ur comment, its relevant to the song message and context rather than loving the song and about her the artist. I also love it, really connecting with it as of late.
It doesnt.
0707565 I’m guessing you’re a millennial. Go listen to your 2019 mainstream music and leave us cool guys and gals alone.
@@nathanking6670 hahaha im from 92
0707565 go back to 92
powerful chorus, in all senses
I started singing this song this morning, even though I haven't heard it in years and listening to right now.... I couldn't think of a more perfect song to outline my life right now... 29yrs old and thinking there's gotta be more to life....
I was today years old when I found out that this is a Christian song.
