25 years later the words are the same but the meaning is different. A lot of life lived between 22 and 47. With a little luck and faith I'll be here again at 72 and transported back to 1999 all over again. Enjoy the music and enjoy your lives, we've only got one ✌🏼
Im 31. I was the 15 year old misunderstood black kid blasting this, jumper, Oasis, Soundgarden/audioslave, Nirvana, red hot chili peppers, Radiohead.... Actually... Not was... I still am
Big hitting line that shows he doesn't understand how complicated love actually getts for the couple used to random smack middle and leave as you can without ties to no other man/woman. The damage always comes from lack of love
This song encapsulates my youth, my innocence, my joyous and painful memories, all that I’ve left behind. It evokes nostalgia, love, hurt and I adore everything about it.
Well said, songwriters. If only this was Stephan Jenkins perspective on the importance of their dynamic when it came to business decisions regarding songwriting credits/residuals and maybe they would've had a lot more sustained success.
This song reminds me of my first love. 17 years old sitting in the passenger side of his old truck while this played. Grinning at him while he danced and occasionally glanced over at me to sing to me. Just aimlessly driving around at night because my mom and dad wouldn’t let us be alone together or close my bedroom door. 😂 It was so sweet. That was the best love and hearing this song instantly takes me back to that night looking at him and how insanely in love I was with him. Growing up sucks. 😂😂 We’re both happily married to other people now. But I’ll never forget him. I wish him happy birthday every single year on his birthday to this day and we’re both around 40. ☺️
I was 20 years old at that time... Listening to this song now break my heart and reminds me of the beautiful days ... I hope that my children will have best times..
I love how songs are like records of old feelings. You hear a song after a long time and suddenly there's a rush of old feelings and memories.. feelings you haven't felt in a long time, memories you have forgotten a long time ago.
And I wish I could get back there Some place back there Smiling in the pictures you would take Doing crystal myth Will lift you up until you break It won't stop I won't come down, I keep stock With a tick-tock rhythm and a bump for the drop And then I bumped up I took the hit I was given Then I bumped again And then I bumped again
Time machine does exist. Thanks third eye blind, this song is memento of my teenage life Edit: and here I am five years later. Still listening to this song in 2023
2009 im 13 started listening to my dad's recommended music and now got a son happy family and my son will still listen to my dad's great taste in music. god i miss you dad i hope im not a failure to you thank you for everything.
There’s gonna be one person who breaks through every wall you have and you’re left with these raw emotions you didn’t even know you were capable of feeling.
A memory of a time in life I lived as a teenager, those days are long gone with most friendships.. nothing last forever and this is a reminder of how old I am and still going...nostalgia.
In 2000 I gathered all the bands I loved and made my playlists... 25 years later the playlists haven't changed almost nothing. Third Bling Eye are still in there.
It is truly hurting and saddening at the sane time deep inside whenever you hear nostalgic songs eventually, the good old memories are triggered and you will find yourself crying out of nowhere. It really hurts good inside...
Its crazy how a song can take u back to a point of ur what seems like a past life n all of the sudden the emotional book is thrown at u. I remember the time in my life when this song came out. I remember the relationship i was going thru i remember the 6hr road trips i would take in the beginning of that relationship to see her n i remember the 6hr trips to go back home n see my parents when i made the move. All I'd do is think. I'd think about where I'd b when im 40 what I'd b doing n would i b with this person. This song hits way harder now that time has passed n ive lived this song. Thinking of ur younger days like really thinking of them god it makes me sad n i hate that. Cuz when ur 17 ur just thinking how it is a that moment is how it will always be n as u grow up n grandparents start to pass n then u have a break n things r good but as those good years pass n they pass quick u come to a time where u look at ur parents n u think they havent changed u think they havent aged but they have..you have n u look at ur kids n theyre teenagers. Theyre fragile innocent little ppl about to experience the harsh realities this society has to offer...
@@JohnDoe-bl8dx To me, it's a continuation of Semi-Charmed Life (as represented by the borrowed motif). That relationship had incredible highs, partly due to their meth use, but it was also an escape from their real feelings. Now that the singer's partner has either realised it was unhealthy or succumb to addiction, she has withdrawn from him, he's left to deal with the hole in his heart that anyone feels after a breakup combined with the emptiness he feels now that he isn't getting high all the time. He has to deal with his raw emotions, and it's incredibly difficult, because he pushed away from his community and support network during that toxic relationship. There is a tangible sense of both nostalgia for the good times and the painful regret of the consequences of his own actions that makes the song so poignant.
The thing with the 90's and early 2000's was how good the music was back then but I didn't fully appreciate it because it was just normal for me and I thought music would only get better as time passed on... Oh how wrong I was Third eye blind, 311, Sugar ray, matchbox20 and much more.
The older I get the further the reach of this timeline gets. The 90”s- early 2000”s were legit. Things are too serious and reality TV like now ha ha. Good ole memories!
The nostalgia hits so fucking hard with this song. Everything was better in the mid-late 90’s, music especially. I have come to appreciate TEB so much more after seeing them live a few times. No other band has the ability to take me back in time like they do.
This song was in Me, Myself and Irene, looked for it everywhere...."everywhere" was not too much in those days...TH-cam wasn't there...about 17-18 years later go reminded of it and came here during the lockdown. Full version is even better, so much of the 90s
I remember hearing this for the first time right after it premiered. I was getting ready for another day in middle school and it stuck in my head all day. I stopped at the record store on the way home and bought the album. 😊
This song NEVER gets the love and recognition that it deserves. It's easily one of the most underrated rock songs i've heard and should've been a radio hit. Unfortunately it never was...
@@dragontales1999 Third Eye Blind has been legally contentious since they broke nationally with Stephan Jenkins being sued for songwriting royalties that weren't being paid to the other members and also fraudulently claiming he majority, solely, wrote the songs. I think this hampered them and is why their album quality and sales kept going down. It probably also affected other income streams due to having to pay lawyers instead of just giving the money to the band members who co-wrote most of the tracks. Request the song and see what happens. I think the music is great. Jenkins is just a greedy guy for cutting out his collaborators
one of the most under rated songs of all time.... such s shame 3eb gets so little commercial coverage, when they are up there among the best - majority's loss
Haven`t stop listening to this since it came out, seriously this is one of my all time fav songs ever, I listen to it at least once a day since it came out
36..still remember the day I bought this cd in circuit city. Asked .y dad to take me to cc so I could get this cd...was looking hard..then my sister found it for me.
I still remember going to the Tower Records in Huntington Beach to pick it up the day it was released. It didn't let me down. It is the treasure chest of my memories of trying to find my own way after graduating from college.

I've just turned 53 and a lot has changed in my life but this song still hits the same. I hope you will be enjoying this when you're 72 and beyond x
I'm 34 now. Still can't get over to this masterpiece. 21 years ago this song came out. Long live third eye blind. Rock on
Same age and couldn't agree more!
Okkk lol
I'm 38 and I couldn't agree more! Classic hit that'll never get old...unfortunately we do! 😄
I'm the same age and I love this song so much. It is amazing. Underated. When I listen I feel like I'm 14/15 again.
same age! bet youre 35 now!
"And we were broke and didn't know" hits hard still. I was 17 when this song came out, I'm 40 now and it's still on my playlist
Yes that part hits me as well!
I’m going to see third eye March 15 in Macon, Ga … if they don’t perform this song I’m gonna cry 😭

I am 35 years. I remember when I was 17 years I have listened this song. So really miss the 90's song.
35 too...I found em late but 19-20 were all 3eb
Same here
I'm 35 this June, 😁😁👍 and I knew this song around 2002 it was my last year in my high school.... Lots of memories left behind there..

“I never felt alone, till I met you”
Powerful words

Burned this song onto a CD in 2004 and now listening to it on TH-cam. Time changes but a good song is a timeless.
Took about 10min to burn from landline now just our fingers tip
Those easily burnt CDs were the days, eh? Also no TH-cam ads back then
This song encapsulates my youth, my innocence, my joyous and painful memories, all that I’ve left behind. It evokes nostalgia, love, hurt and I adore everything about it.
So well said. Everything you stated.
@@mavx318 Thank you
Best comment award
Yes!
Dude the way you said that was beautiful. Maybe you should be writing music if you aren’t already.
Edit: I’m still here in May 2022 dreaming of a much simpler time!
Anyone Listening in 2020?!
Too busy washing my hands
I AM!!!
Man its been a long time, still this song made me cry...
March
maybe me
Blue really was such a fantastic album.
"I would change myself if I could, I'd walk with my people if I could find them." Always loved that..
“Boilerplate.” Furthermore:
yeah... :(
Best part of the is that bridge for certain
Brilliant songwriters. Such an underrated band. This song, like so many others by them, really takes me back. Timeless songs.
Well said, songwriters. If only this was Stephan Jenkins perspective on the importance of their dynamic when it came to business decisions regarding songwriting credits/residuals and maybe they would've had a lot more sustained success.
They didn’t write it! Stole it from Under My Skin originally Deep Inside of me ! Ask Tony Frednelli
"And some great need in me starts to bleed.." Damn. Almost 40 and that still hits hard just as it did 20 years ago.
Deep inside of you?
🙈 yes it does
Dude, I’m right there with you
I remember buying this album and playing this song over and over.
This song reminds me of my first love. 17 years old sitting in the passenger side of his old truck while this played. Grinning at him while he danced and occasionally glanced over at me to sing to me. Just aimlessly driving around at night because my mom and dad wouldn’t let us be alone together or close my bedroom door. 😂
It was so sweet. That was the best love and hearing this song instantly takes me back to that night looking at him and how insanely in love I was with him.
Growing up sucks. 😂😂
We’re both happily married to other people now. But I’ll never forget him. I wish him happy birthday every single year on his birthday to this day and we’re both around 40. ☺️
Country song
I can't believe that TH-cam is the closest thing we have to a time machine
Agreed!
Right ! Too bad it's broken, riddled with commercials and . . never mind!
What artwork you have there. Is there only one way to see that?
@@robcohn7167 there are extensions to prevent those lol
Too damn deep miss
I'm so glad my Dad introduce these songs to me. Songs before are just full of hard and relatable lyrics
JUST TURNED 50. THIS WAS THE BEST TIMES OF MY LIFE!
🎈✌️
Happy belated birthday!
Agreed
That's so cool! How old were u in 1999?
I was 19 in 1999 ..good times man!
One of the best alternative rock songs ever. Great lyrics, great heart, great soul, great sound.
Days when us 90's teenagers had to buy our music, love this song and the 90's.
Yesss virgin megastore cds
Never gets old. These songs are my refuge during these troubled times
Stay strong homie
I was 20 years old at that time... Listening to this song now break my heart and reminds me of the beautiful days ... I hope that my children will have best times..
I agree great times now as we adult it don't seem so much fun I hope my kids have a blast growing up.
we.both bro..
We had no idea how good we had it 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Class of 98 here

Oh God dear Third Eye Blind... I LOVED YOU GUYS. why did the 90s go away...

I love how songs are like records of old feelings. You hear a song after a long time and suddenly there's a rush of old feelings and memories.. feelings you haven't felt in a long time, memories you have forgotten a long time ago.
Epic comment!
Sitting here during a pandemic missing my youth.
100% agree
Missing the days of the past, but looking forward to what might be in the future.
And I wish I could get back there
Some place back there
Smiling in the pictures you would take
Doing crystal myth
Will lift you up until you break
It won't stop
I won't come down, I keep stock
With a tick-tock rhythm and a bump for the drop
And then I bumped up
I took the hit I was given
Then I bumped again
And then I bumped again
so true..
Me too
I honestly don't wanna grow any older. I wanna go back to school. I wanna share cassettes with my friends. Im crying it out rn
hello mr. decayed really its true 4 me i dont want also to grow old but u can't stop god cause he created us design on earth
We could all killll ourselves and that would solve all our problems!
Unfortunately my friend life drags us forward whether we want to or not.

Still loving it in mid 2024. I can't remember how many years, 3eb still rocks my playlist ❤
Here from Lubbock TX . Going to see them live tacos and tequila august 26th!!! Let’s get it !!!
How the F does this video not have 10mil or more 😳. Jesus. This song makes me melt 😍. Always will.
November 24, 2024 everyone? heard this song back in 2004. 20 years after this song still hits hard
34 now and definitely reminiscing thinking about when life was so simple
wait 30 more years, and you will say the same thing. Enjoy the present.
My absolute favorite song by Third Eye Blind
this and how´s it gonna be? .... I can´t decide wich one I love the most...
The background
So many. Depends on the mood.
I LOVE this song and its one of the best of there songs but darwin and tons of others imo r better or eqaul
god of wine also
What a underrated song.
Past is past.. But never forgotten.. 90s the best
After school going home listening this song in my Walkman it seems like yesterday.
I unliked it so I could like it again! Such memories. So true. Where did it all go?
A memory of a time in life I lived as a teenager, those days are long gone with most friendships.. nothing last forever and this is a reminder of how old I am and still going...nostalgia.
All is gone but the memories.
In 2000 I gathered all the bands I loved and made my playlists... 25 years later the playlists haven't changed almost nothing. Third Bling Eye are still in there.

Third Eye Blind stays totally relevant over the long haul.
This song has actually more deeper meaning than it seems to be.

it's not even nostalgia, like literally, damn near everything I can think of was objectively better back then
Still perfect today!

Still love this band,seems like yesterday I was in high school

One of my favorite bands. I always listen to their songs until I fall asleep. Alternative Era epic, indeed!
2021 and still listening to this kind of music..... take me back in time..
Pure Nostalgia! This song really makes the memories start swirling around inside my head.
"I breathe by your looks and you look right through me" best 3EB lyric
I never realized how much this song would mean to me. Growing up can be so somber. “Boy made girl feel good.” So deep. No pun intended.
