Today’s is my birthday I’m 38. Been reflecting on the years of my life. Crazy how we can get so lost and forget who we are. Lost but at peace with it! If you read this thanks!
Seriously, this song will always be a favorite. I'm a lyrics person, so when it was on the charts in the 90's it penetrated my soul. I knew then it was a forever song ❤️
My pregnant girlfriend died 2 months ago & I haven't been able to listen to music. Last week at an auto body shop, I turned on a customers car & this song started playing. I cried uncontrollably & felt my heart healing (a little). THANK YOU GOO GOO DOLLS.
This is one of those songs that when it comes on you listen.... when you haven't heard it in a while and you find it again, you play it 10 times....this is one of those songs.
This song inspired me to make a song that is inspired by love. If you want to listen to it here is the link: th-cam.com/video/3Wo0zFPt_t0/w-d-xo.html Thank you!
I always get emotional when I listen to this song because both my parents died when I was very young. Now I am 26 years of age and I am still taking the responsibility to support my younger siblings. Sacrificed a lot of my leisure time and dreams so they can get a better education. One day when my two younger siblings graduate from college/Uni, I will be the proudest big brother ever. Thanks for this song.
Wow I thought I was alone as these lyrics really have touched me ever since I first heard this song. To me it's telling me in life know what is truly important.
It is alright to be concern or not know about what happens after this life. Fortunately there's a way to not suffer, not be in danger, not be poor, not get hurt, not have to work in vain, not have to feel any kind of negative vibe, and not to get tired anymore. Imagine you will be invincible, immortal, and holy with a new, upgraded body to the core! Imagine everyone around you will be the same as you. Isn't that a delightful thought? It's true you or anyone can have eternal life. All you got to do is to accept Jesus Christ 🙏 as your Savior! Once you do, He will let you into heaven during your day when you finally see Him!
@@small_fries7573you sound like a lunatic. Your not drawing anyone to God. Take a deep breath.......relax.....please my friend......another deep breath......in.........out........now we can possibly talk .......I studied History Science and religion and trust me, your approach is not helping....lol..... for centuries Catholics have been killing Catholics Protestants killing Protestants Muslims killing Muslims they're all just murdering each other for centuries,, insane amount of child sexual abuse,,,, the only religion that I've seen through World War I World War II and countless other war like war in Ukraine, Rwanda in 90's etcetera are Jehovah's Witnesses time and time again that show love for one another. Listen to them.
My favorite line in the song...you’re so right it is a whole different level of love that a lot of people will never comprehend or feel. It takes a very special person to recognize and understand this kind of love.
@@ms.v807 "I think about you all the time, but I don't need the same"..... Makes me feel like this line was wrote from someone that knows the outcome of the relationship will not change from what is yet that love and it's memories are the fuel to keep hope. Kinda like a soldier that's gone away to war or someone that's become a victim of circumstances.
@@kimberlydingus2169, yesss! You’re absolutely right. That line touches home for me as I have and still do experience it. It’s so very profound! Thank you for your comment and Happiest of Holidays to you and yours.
Thank you for not turning the comments off. It’s so enjoyable to read all the comments about people’s lives and how this song has affected them. Great song guys, I’m a 80’s baby, so Grew up listening to your music when it was just new.
The greatest verse in a song ever We grew up way too fast And now there's nothing to believe And reruns all become our history A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
THANK you. I nearly cried when I just heard this song live a few weeks ago. Like the first strum, I was like "OMG it's Name!!!!". My favorite verse too btw
I humbly disagree and say that the very first line “And even though the moment passed me by, I still can’t turn away” is probably one of the best lyrics ever written. Or “I think about you all the time, but I don’t need the same”
I’ll never understand how the Goo Goo Dolls made such blatantly romantic soft rock songs without even a hint of cheese, corniness, or cringe. Their work has aged better than most.
This song inspired me to make a song that is inspired by love. If you want to listen to it here is the link: th-cam.com/video/3Wo0zFPt_t0/w-d-xo.html Thank you!
This is exactly how I feel about the Goo Goo Dolls. I've been trying to think about a way to fully explain them but you just did it so succinctly... well done.
@@pipertarin68 And each other in our realness. Ever notice that for all the ITS REAL LIFE INSTANTLY bullshit, you never have actual real moments as much? No "friend calls you to tell you to come over because they're miserable", seeing an ex from 10 years prior and spending your night wondering what if? It's amazing, social media made everything happen faster..well, than we could live it. I miss the world before the grand "connection".
Are you ever just struck with the sudden realization that so much has changed? It hits you like a punch to the stomach when you wonder how so much time has passed since you’ve seen that one person, since someone you’re close to passed away, since you never doubted anything because you were to young to see that the world we live in is full of struggles and melancholy.
Yes, with a heavy heart, I can see age taking its toll on me finally. I have given a good fight, 39 years and still teenager looks.. But the Grey is starting to slightly show. I am considering dying it haha! The past glows like a golden hazy ball always, forever in my mind, and I will re-live things I did in my youth and think back, feeling the sun on my face, the breeze through my hair and I will sip that beer and be thankful I am still able to enjoy the same things. I will do this until I am unable to from age, then I will most likely push my - eventually owned wheelchair off the cliff with something playing like this track, or maybe something happier, and I won't sit babbling, dribbling in a window. I will live while I can and I will die happy.
I wish I could personally thank the Goo Goo Dolls for saving my life with this song. This song continues to give me the strength to live and overcome. I've been one year sober, and even though I'm still homeless, I'm still not giving in. I'm bipolar as well, and I still find strength via music to fight one more day. Peace and love to all those who are in the struggle. May you find strength.
I remember these days. These were good days. Life was so full of hope, love, and passion. Here I am all these years later, alone in a cold apartment, my wife is in the ground, my family is in the ground, my friends are nowhere to be seen. My mental health continues to take a beating and continues to decline, my spirit is broken and I am slowly giving up. But it's nice to come back here from time to time and relive the good days, if only for a few minutes.
I have songs that I like because they make me feel my emotions, remember certain times or people. Then this one does it on another level, a beautiful masterpiece this song is.
Music is like a time machine for me! I love it when a song comes on and I can smell the air surrounding me, the sights I seen and the way I felt. Everyone out there hurting just know its gets better just with time.
I have been listening to this since the day it came out always makes me appreciate the nostalgia of when life was easier. But hey.....we can all hope for that again. Take care. Jam on. Love golden memories. Always appreciate them and may they block out the bad ones.
Nothing ever gets better I was molested as a child and my ex took over from there and treated me like pure garbage now I'm alone and I can't trust anybody
@@douglasstanley4532 Things will get better. Some wounds become scars. But there’s always someone there to share your story with who can help those scars to fade. There are plenty of people out there who love you. Best of luck on your journey and all the love in the world to you.
The night my mom passed away i was inconsolable i was a complete mess (i was on suicide watch for 3 weeks) she was my rock the best mom a boy could ever hope to have i remember being on my knees sobbing next to my car next to jamaica pond and this song came on and Johnny's words wrapped around me and gave me the compfort i needed God i miss my mom thank you goo goo dolls i will always be a life long fan
When life goes to hell, music is there. It doesn't demand, it understands. It's my best friend, even when I'm abandoned by my friends, even when I am hiding from my friends. It is always there, waiting and welcoming when I am ready, and sometimes taking me by surprise, taking my breath away and squeezing my heart. Is there anything more pure than the spirit of song? I am so sorry about your mom. God bless.
I understand the thought of your mom passing!! Last mine this past Christmas and she was my rock as well! “Think about you all the time but I don’t need the same” hits me every time
This song takes me back to my high school days. I’m almost 35 now with 3 kids and married, I remember taking a long drive and listening to this album. It made me feel at peace for some reason. Still listening to the goo goo dolls to this day. My favorite line is “scars are souvenirs you never lose, the past is never far....”
I'm 54 now. Even when you are lucky in life, scars are souvenirs you never lose. But...never mind that. Embrace and love life. You have 3 kids who love and count on you. Your kids love and count on you. They are lucky to have a Mom who loves them with all her heart.
"When everything feels like the moives, yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive." Probably top ten lines ever sang in a song. Delivery on it perfection.
My son last song on his guitar for me 7:28pm July 21st, 2007 passed away in a carwreck I felt his heart soul go out into the sky come back within me .something that is unique rarely has happened. I love you Robby . Today it's been 13 years
“You grew up way too fast, and now there’s nothing to believe, and reruns all become our history” favorite line of the whole song just hits the soul man ❤

Man. I can still smell the smells, picture the memories and hear the surroundings of life when this was first released. I think we hit the sweet spot for a decade to grow up in.
The Lord Jesus Christ became the Savior of sinners (all humans) by coming down from Heaven & dying on the 🪵 wooden cross for our sins. God raised Him from the dead, and Jesus is now a living Savior with God in heaven. But don't lose hope. Anyone can be saved from their sins and from going to hell in two easy, peasy steps: 1. Realize that you are a sinner who CAN'T SAVE YOURSELF from going to the lake of fire (forever) 🔥 based on your good deeds, your own philosophy, and other religions. 2. Realize that you need to believe in your heart ❤️ that ONLY Jesus Christ died for your sins. If you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart ❤️ that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart ❤️ man believe unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Congratulations! 🎊 👏 After this life, you're on your way to heaven forever! ⬆️💯🥳
Have you ever wondered where your soul goes after this life? We are sinners despite any tiny sins we commit like lying, bad thoughts, or cussing. It doesn't even matter how many good deeds we do because one little sin is bad enough already. We cannot make it up to heaven on our own will. Our God, Jesus Christ, decided to come down to Earth as a SINLESS human and sacrificed His life for our sins. Then He resurrected three days later! Therefore if you believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is your Savior, you'll definitely have eternal life. Your existence is proof that God is real. Consider this: A creation like you have a Creator. Only in the Bible does it mention that God is the Creator of mankind. God is the only one who can create your body, your organs, your features, your blood, and fingerprints. That is why nobody has the same finger prints nor DNA as you. YOU ARE UNIQUE THANKS TO OUR GOD, JESUS CHRIST! Have a great day!

No matter how much u feast, u will still be hungry. No matter how much u alcohol or soda u drink, u will still be thirsty. No matter how much money 💰💸🪙 u have, u will still want more. No matter how many men or women u slept with, u still want more. No matter how blessed u are, u still want more blessings. There's only 1 thing that can satisfy 😌 your soul.

I'd be honored if some fans of mid/late 90s classics would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances NAME by the GooGoo Dolls and "1979" by the Smashing Pumpkins in tribute to 2 great standards of the era. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace out and stay safe in the '020s.

I’ve never been a big goo fan but I’m 40yrs old and I can’t think of a band that really reps the 90s like goo did. Loved those days. I hope everyone else who hit their teens during the 90s also enjoyed them as well
The lyrics in this song are so deep, especially in the second verse. I think this song is ultimately about growing up and being disappointing about the way life turns out. Not everybody becomes a star, a lot do grow up too fast etc... This a very underrated song in my opinion and I think its their best song overall.
actually rzeznik admits his ex girlfriend has a book and in it she suprisingly to me admits he wrote the song about the time they were dating and how he wouldn't share her real name bcuz she was famous and alot more now and few knew her real name
I drop a tear every time i hear this song. The day of my mom's funeral i didn't cry. But when i got home and turned on the radio and heard this song for the first time I started crying. And I've been a fan of these guys ever since.

Just to end my never ending story..we are what we eat, see, read and listen to...very importante and people don't pay attention!!! I love placebo!!! Saw them 4 or 5 Times!!! But i ONLY listen to them either on winter, always Said they are winter music, or one or two One day randomly just like Alice in chains...whoever listen to them everyday like its part of the routine, end up depressed or suicidel or weird
I'll never understand how a human is able to make words paint pictures. I truly believe God gives certain people these gifts and I'm so glad I'm here to hear and see. The Goo Goo Dolls are amazing and this song is so beautiful.
Been in the army for the past 18 years. Really feels like i grew up way too fast. I feel a lot older and bitter than i should at 34. Trying to get a normal life back now but damn i miss my childhood

This song & " Iris " both make cry. The first lines of " Iris " hit hard. It reminds my of my g/f who passed away @ age of 27 . We were together 10+ years. Never fought or got mad once. Her name is "Rachel" and I still cry everyday after 8 years. .....'.and I`d give up forever to touch you ......cuz I know that you feel it somehow . You`re the closet to Heaven that I`ve been and I don`t want to lose you right now. And I don`t want the world to see me, cuz I don`t that they`d understand , when everything`s made to be broken I just want you to know who I am..... ( I`m just so much sadder now ) I miss you Baby.. RIP Baby .

I relate to you there. This was the very first song that I can recall playing on repeat when I was a child. It quickly became my favorite song, and it is still my favorite song to this day. However, for all of those years that I listened to not only them but this specific song, it was not until I got to see them live back in September of 2011 and Johnny explained the meaning behind the song, that I realized that this was my life..... I too am an Orphan, though at the time I first heard this song I still had my Dad, he died 2 years later....... like for that song to come full circle like that over 20 years later was just mind blowing. The instrumentals of this song always cut to my core and so for as many times as I have listened to it I just never focused on the lyrics so much..... it's just crazy.
We need to be kind to others. Even when we feel defeated by the judgment of others. It makes us better humans. We learn from it and grow. To all the ones I've lost- to addictions and domestic violence, you're in my heart. Always and forever ❤
I wanna go back there now... to that time, to that place, to those people, to that someone-- wish I could listen to him play this song again... back in school when he'd bring that guitar and we'd all gather around under the tree between classes to sing along to these kinds of songs. Nothing beats those sunny afternoons. I'm quite certain the sun shone much brighter back then.

He quoted the Goo Goo Dolls “and I don’t want the world to see me, cause I don’t think that they’d understand” and he said “only a white man could write those lyrics” 😅.

Thankful for music like this to allow me to release emotions that I bottle up. The beauty of this song speaks deeply to me with the passing of my mom and baby. As I sit hear listening, streams of tears running down my face, and goosebumps consuming me. All I can say is, thank you.
Wasn’t a huge fan of these dudes back in the day but, wow, what a tune. As a former radio DJ, I’ll say that this song perfectly represents, not only 90’s music, but also what it meant to be living your life back then: 03:02 this point perfectly encapsulates an era - sonically it represents a sound lightly dipped in early 90’s grunge, rinsed in cool mid/late 90’s alternative to create an anthem for a transitional, end of the century, decade.

That's a tough sell, but I won't totally say it's off base. I love these guys even though they sound way, way different than they did at their beginnings.
In 1995, this song came out after my oldest brother passed away. This reminds me of him in so many ways. He was hard of hearing in both ears. Tormented and bullied all his life. Back when he was younger, there were only special schools for mentally challenged children. He was not accepted into these schools for the simple fact that he was okay except for his hearing. Fast forward to his late teens. My father was an abusive alcoholic. Used to beat on him something awful. David turned to alcohol and then eventually, drugs, to numb the pain of his past. Long story short, the pain was too much for him to live with. "If it's lonely where you are, come back down, and I won't tell them your Name..." MISS AND LOVE YOU FOREVER DAB 2/20/59 - 4/3/95
I'm in tears, all I can say is trust in Jesus because all he cares about is us. John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whoever would believe in HIM would not die but have eternal life. His love is the best. Peace
as a 15 year old listeing to this specific goo goo dolls song make me cry, it reminds me when my dad was alive and we would go hunting together. thank you googoo dolls for this amazing song.
Weird that this song only has just over a million views. You literally could not escape this song for a good 5 years in the late 90s. It was EVERYWHERE.
+SwitcherooU That, "Iris", and "Slide" were GIGANTIC for years. According to Billboard's Pop Songs charts, from the 1992-2012 time period, all three of those songs were among the 100 most successful and popular Top 40 hits during that time. Heck, "Slide" cracked the Top 10, and "Iris" took the number 1 spot by a landslide!
I was 10 when I first heard this song. It is forever burned into my memories. We packed all we could grab and left the house I grew up in. This song came on as we pulled out of the neighborhood. Scars really are souvenirs you never loose. You saved us mommy I love you 💖
I'd be honored if some 90s fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of ANGEL by Sarah McLachlan, NAME by the GooGoo Dolls, and BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY by the Verve on my YT channel in tribute to 3 mid/late 90s classics. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace out and stay safe.
Been fighting with some pretty bad depression lately. I long to go back to that time. It’s nice to revisit this every once and awhile and feel happy even if it’s just for a few minutes.
Me too. Hang in there friend, songs like this can go a long way in serving the soul a helpful dose of good feels. The music of the 90's evokes some powerful emotions, and this one resides very near the top of my list. Peace.
May God bless you ❤ with encouragement and His love. I pray that you will find good individuals in your life. I pray that God will help you find happiness 😊 & joy. In His name we pray in Jesus Christ, amen ❤🎉
Joel I'm an 80s guy. To ME personally that was the best era of rock and metal music EVER! But that's bcuz I'm a little biased to growing up in that era.😁😁😁
Don’t it make you sad to know that life, is more then who we are. That lyric has sat with me for over 20 years. It’s so true, we expect too much from each other and don’t appreciate the people in our life for being themselves.
The Lord Jesus Christ became the Savior of sinners (all humans) by coming down from Heaven & dying on the 🪵 wooden cross for our sins. God raised Him from the dead, and Jesus is now a living Savior with God in heaven. But don't lose hope. Anyone can be saved from their sins and from going to hell in two easy, peasy steps: 1. Realize that you are a sinner who CAN'T SAVE YOURSELF from going to the lake of fire (forever) 🔥 based on your good deeds, your own philosophy, and other religions. 2. Realize that you need to believe in your heart ❤️ that ONLY Jesus Christ died for your sins. If you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart ❤️ that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart ❤️ man believe unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Congratulations! 🎊 👏 After this life, you're on your way to heaven forever! ⬆️💯🥳
@jgfu-wu5cw it'll never be like before.. the words, lyrics, sincerely, never. Check out Post Malone; Circles, chemical and ugh what's the other one???! Take a listen. I believe you'll relate and like

I listened to this song constantly after my older brother died. I still think of him whenever I hear it. He was just 23, and it crushed me. “If it’s lonely where you are, come back down….” gets me every time.

I was born in 1980. My childhood was in the 80’s and coming of age in the 90’s. One foot in the analog world and the other foot in the digital one. I’m so blessed and look back on those days fondly. This song still hold up and memories flood in.
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT CHOICE YOU WILL EVER MAKE AND THE TIME TO DECIDE IS NOW ⏲️ ⏳️ 🕐 I choose to turn to Jesus Christ realizing I am a sinner in need of a Savior. I believe Jesus died for my sins and resurrected in 3ndays. Therefore some day after my life, I'll live with Him in heaven. OR.... I reject Jesus as my Savior for my sins and spend eternity in hell 🔥 📛 with nonbelievers and the devil, satan.
this is the song that made the goo goo dolls. literally. john had played music since he was 19 and made the pact with himself if he did not have a hit by the time he was 30, he was quitting music. hit the charts when he was 29.
I love this group so much. It reminds me of the love of my life. Coming up on ten years since he passed of cancer. I'm always enjoying listening to their tunes. Makes me very happy and sometimes shed a tear.
I'll never forget this song because of someone who means the world to me. She was in my life when it came out 20 years ago and luckily she still is. It's nearly as beautiful as this song and brings tears. Happy ones. Reminds me of people who have gone away and to treasure the ones who have not.
Almost every word of this song describes me totally screwing up my relationship for the past 5 years, with the greatest woman I have ever known it really has always meant a lot to me and now I know why
What a wonderful instrument he has. 60 years old, reminds me of my dad.Passed in 1994. Im honored to have an adult relationship with him.The best friend anyone could ever have.
I always come back to this one when I’m feeling low. I think it’s the “scars are souvenirs you never lose. The past is never far. Did you lose yourself somewhere out there”
You are a special and unique person. Your life & soul matter. Your life is very short compared to eternity. Therefore if you want to spend eternity on heaven after your life here on earth 🌎, you should believe in your heart ❤️ that Jesus Christ is your Savior. If you don't, you will miss going to heaven and end up in the lake of fire. It is terrible so I beg you to make the only correct decision for God to allow you to go to heaven. Jesus Christ is the only way to eternal life. 🙏 Have a nice day. God does love ❤️ you.
For ALL have sinned and fallen short of God's glory. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 1. Admit you are a sinner. 2. Just simply 😍 believe in your heart ❤️ that Jesus Christ is your Savior for your sins. *If you do, you will go to heaven.
Have u wondered if there's evil and good? Who is the character that people bring up when they are asked who is the leader of evil? Devil right? Who would be the counterpart who is the Supreme or Holiness of all? God, right? Creation is the biggest evidence that we are created by God. Our organs, our DNA, our cells, our urinary systems, our circulatory system, our neural functions, our unique fingerprints, and so forth. Our mothers cannot create any of these things within or outer part of our bodies. But still we love our moms.
You speak the truth bro. The 90s....a time when music was REALLY GOOD and it took ACTUAL TALENT to make, unlike today's utter shyte (Yes, I'm looking at you Nicky Manaj and co)

Me and my little brother would listen to this song driving around on backroads when he was in high school. He is now in the US Navy working aboard a Carrier. Every time I hear this song memories come flooding back to me and him. Wish I could’ve drove around with him one more time before he shipped out. Love you buddy!
the simple majesty of this song, nearly hypnotic, is incandescent to its power message in its prose; the reality of each line, lays a punch to life's pageantry and reminds us that we have indeed 'grown up way too fast' and it grabs us by the throat to recall that we are only what our situations hand us, its either sadness or euphoria. One of the best tunes, well, ever. Just my two cents.
First heard this song on the radio one night while driving along the north coastline, I was nineteen then. Twenty-six years later and this song still invokes my emotions!! I listen to it most nights just before going to bed. The acoustic soothes me every time. That voice and those lyrics....... just magical. It's one of those songs I'll never get tired of listening to.
I know it's difficult to influence people that Jesus Christ (God) is real. However I'm sure you know there's evil 😈 & good in this world. Here's a video above showing the realness of Satan and demons in terms of worshipping in America 🇺🇸. It also shows quotes from high level Satanists proving that Satan and demons are real. th-cam.com/video/h0tLGO1G48A/w-d-xo.htmlsi=DI70ErUENUO34c-R
"the past is never far". i sit here almost 50 now, and i remember graduating in 1990, i remember being a teen in the 80s and i remember my twenties in the 90s. and its all so clear, it really feels like yesterday like it just happened, i never felt the time pass it was just gone. life passed by in a flash a moment. and at the same time the memories are always greying and fading, it almost feels like a past life or something, like something you remember but never really happened. or maybe it just happened to some one else, maybe someone else lived your life and you are just left with nothing. no years no memories no experiences no time. i feel this song more than i should, i feel its mood all the time, its not the lyrics so much or anything else its just the over all feeling or atmosphere of it. its how i feel, and i dont know why. but its always been this way, long before this song ever existed.
What's funny ...so not funny actually, when I hear my kids and their friends referring to the 90s as the "late 1900s" .....let that shit sink in. I said loudly, DON'T ever say that again. Just didn't set well with me.
I hear you friend. It's strange how we live multiple lives in this one life isn't it? But with that, this stretch, as you enter into your 50s, is yet another chapter-a new life. Why are we here? What is this thing we call life? Why do we do it? I've searched high and low and here's the best answer I have for you: A wise man said "There is nothing else to do here except live. The only choice you have is to live it superficially or in a profound manner."
I'd be honored if some Goo's fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performance of NAME on my YT channel in tribute to one of the greatest songs of the 1990s. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and peace out.
32 yo and this song hits me in a way I can’t explain. Nostalgic and melancholy. But brings happiness at the same time.. I’ve loved this song since I was 10 or so years old.
Life is unpredictable and issues usually come up. Anyone from any age is not guaranteed tomorrow. Even young people should think 🤔 about heaven ✨️ or hell 🔥. Therefore if you want to spend eternity on heaven after your life here on earth 🌎, you should believe in your heart ❤️ that Jesus Christ is your Savior. If you don't, you will miss going to heaven and end up in the lake of fire. It is terrible so I beg you to make the only correct decision for God to allow you to go to heaven. Jesus Christ is the only way to eternal life. 🙏 Have a nice day.

Today’s is my birthday I’m 38. Been reflecting on the years of my life. Crazy how we can get so lost and forget who we are. Lost but at peace with it! If you read this thanks!
Happy belated birthday!
Aaron Kauffman hey thanks man!
♥️
Just a punk
Im 38 as well... feeling the same...
“Scars are souvenirs we never lose, the past is never far.” What a timeless truth. Love this song.
Amen
I second this
Seriously, this song will always be a favorite. I'm a lyrics person, so when it was on the charts in the 90's it penetrated my soul. I knew then it was a forever song ❤️
Well said i havent ever stopled giving a listen listen who thought this and many more would touch so many ,me
Beautiful said
Goo Goo Dolls are one of the few artists/bands who can make you reflect on your entire life with a 4 minute song.
Fact!
Damn. Well said.
Totally agree
Straight up 💯💯💯
True story. That’s church bro 😎
My pregnant girlfriend died 2 months ago & I haven't been able to listen to music. Last week at an auto body shop, I turned on a customers car & this song started playing. I cried uncontrollably & felt my heart healing (a little). THANK YOU GOO GOO DOLLS.
Sorry bro. I hope you’re doing well
So sorry, Andrew. Hugs.
❤
I went through PTSD 2 years ago. This song helped me. Put it on repeat endlessly.
Soo sorry for your dear loss❤❤❤
This is one of those songs that when it comes on you listen.... when you haven't heard it in a while and you find it again, you play it 10 times....this is one of those songs.
One of the songs that makes you wish youtube had a repeat option
Don`t forget the tears either. This song reminds me of my now passed 27 yr old g/f. *And I'd give up forever to touch you* really hits me deep & hard.
Facts!
This song inspired me to make a song that is inspired by love. If you want to listen to it here is the link: th-cam.com/video/3Wo0zFPt_t0/w-d-xo.html
Thank you!
YESSSS!!
I always get emotional when I listen to this song because both my parents died when I was very young. Now I am 26 years of age and I am still taking the responsibility to support my younger siblings. Sacrificed a lot of my leisure time and dreams so they can get a better education. One day when my two younger siblings graduate from college/Uni, I will be the proudest big brother ever. Thanks for this song.
God bless you and your siblings on your life's journey and may he give you grace to push through the hard times and much joy in the good times.
Good on ya mate
🙏
God's grace to you young man.
A good man is a good man, godspeed I wish you the best for you and your siblings
"Don't it make you sad to know that life is more than who we are" That lyric hits me in the soul.
That and "I think about you all the time, but I don't need the same"
That line hits like a brick.
Wow I thought I was alone as these lyrics really have touched me ever since I first heard this song. To me it's telling me in life know what is truly important.
Truth
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf “ or “The Wave Acoustic” by SLT 🤘🐺🎧
“Don’t it make you sad to know that life, is more than who we are?” Such a beautiful line
It is alright to be concern or not know about what happens after this life. Fortunately there's a way to not suffer, not be in danger, not be poor, not get hurt, not have to work in vain, not have to feel any kind of negative vibe, and not to get tired anymore.
Imagine you will be invincible, immortal, and holy with a new, upgraded body to the core! Imagine everyone around you will be the same as you. Isn't that a delightful thought? It's true you or anyone can have eternal life.
All you got to do is to accept Jesus Christ 🙏 as your Savior! Once you do, He will let you into heaven during your day when you finally see Him!
❤ AMEN AMEN AMEN
@@small_fries7573you sound like a lunatic. Your not drawing anyone to God. Take a deep breath.......relax.....please my friend......another deep breath......in.........out........now we can possibly talk .......I studied History Science and religion and trust me, your approach is not helping....lol..... for centuries Catholics have been killing Catholics Protestants killing Protestants Muslims killing Muslims they're all just murdering each other for centuries,, insane amount of child sexual abuse,,,, the only religion that I've seen through World War I World War II and countless other war like war in Ukraine, Rwanda in 90's etcetera are Jehovah's Witnesses time and time again that show love for one another. Listen to them.
I was reading comments as i read this he samg it! The timing was so perfect
This line made me a songwriter and I'm not even kidding.
There’s something so humble about “I think about you all the time, but I don’t need the same.” That’s another level of love.
Yes, so humble. That's a selfless love. Maybe sacrificing his own wants and needs in order to protect the one he loves or let them go.
My favorite line in the song...you’re so right it is a whole different level of love that a lot of people will never comprehend or feel. It takes a very special person to recognize and understand this kind of love.
@@ms.v807 "I think about you all the time, but I don't need the same"..... Makes me feel like this line was wrote from someone that knows the outcome of the relationship will not change from what is yet that love and it's memories are the fuel to keep hope. Kinda like a soldier that's gone away to war or someone that's become a victim of circumstances.
@@kimberlydingus2169, yesss! You’re absolutely right. That line touches home for me as I have and still do experience it. It’s so very profound! Thank you for your comment and Happiest of Holidays to you and yours.
@@kimberlydingus2169 The song was written about someone very specific, and yes, that's exactly what was going on.
Grew up with this song... How time flies... Those were the good times... Anybody listening 2025?
Thank you for not turning the comments off.
It’s so enjoyable to read all the comments about people’s lives and how this song has affected them.
Great song guys, I’m a 80’s baby, so Grew up listening to your music when it was just new.
Just checked in how many likes this comment got.
Glad we feel the same.
So it’s bad to be an 80’s baby?
The greatest verse in a song ever
We grew up way too fast
And now there's nothing to believe
And reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
THANK you. I nearly cried when I just heard this song live a few weeks ago. Like the first strum, I was like "OMG it's Name!!!!". My favorite verse too btw
Agree on how profound the lyrics are, but "Don't it make you sad to know that life is more than who we are" really resonates with me.
I humbly disagree and say that the very first line “And even though the moment passed me by, I still can’t turn away” is probably one of the best lyrics ever written. Or “I think about you all the time, but I don’t need the same”
"A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio." A great metaphor for life.
The greatest verse is the whole song cause it's a masterpiece.
I’ll never understand how the Goo Goo Dolls made such blatantly romantic soft rock songs without even a hint of cheese, corniness, or cringe. Their work has aged better than most.
I think it is the strength of the lyrics and the hard rock nature of the vocals. Lends a sincerity to the whole thing.
They are one of my favorite bands, you rock Goo Goo Dolls, Baby's black balloon
They age like a fine wine. Only get richer as the years go by
This song inspired me to make a song that is inspired by love. If you want to listen to it here is the link: th-cam.com/video/3Wo0zFPt_t0/w-d-xo.html

All goo goo dolls songs make me feel soooo melancholy and nostalgic. It’s so good. So so good. And doesn’t get old, honestly.
This is exactly how I feel about the Goo Goo Dolls. I've been trying to think about a way to fully explain them but you just did it so succinctly... well done.
I love this band ❤️ 😍🎵🎵
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf “ or “The Wave Acoustic” by SLT 🤘🐺🎧
I agree
I am a kid again for four minutes.
The last decade before social media, no wonder we miss it so much😢
All we had was Tv, Radio ❤
@@pipertarin68 And each other in our realness. Ever notice that for all the ITS REAL LIFE INSTANTLY bullshit, you never have actual real moments as much? No "friend calls you to tell you to come over because they're miserable", seeing an ex from 10 years prior and spending your night wondering what if?
It's amazing, social media made everything happen faster..well, than we could live it. I miss the world before the grand "connection".
@@CronoXpono Life, was simpler for sure!
The best comment i ever hrard as a 48 year old guy.I miss those 90s days!!!
@@tasosgeorgiou1865Near your age. You can melt when u think of the 90s.
Are you ever just struck with the sudden realization that so much has changed? It hits you like a punch to the stomach when you wonder how so much time has passed since you’ve seen that one person, since someone you’re close to passed away, since you never doubted anything because you were to young to see that the world we live in is full of struggles and melancholy.
Yes, with a heavy heart, I can see age taking its toll on me finally. I have given a good fight, 39 years and still teenager looks.. But the Grey is starting to slightly show. I am considering dying it haha!
The past glows like a golden hazy ball always, forever in my mind, and I will re-live things I did in my youth and think back, feeling the sun on my face, the breeze through my hair and I will sip that beer and be thankful I am still able to enjoy the same things. I will do this until I am unable to from age, then I will most likely push my - eventually owned wheelchair off the cliff with something playing like this track, or maybe something happier, and I won't sit babbling, dribbling in a window. I will live while I can and I will die happy.
Awesome comment Emily. I like your writing style. Keep writing.

I wish I could personally thank the Goo Goo Dolls for saving my life with this song. This song continues to give me the strength to live and overcome. I've been one year sober, and even though I'm still homeless, I'm still not giving in. I'm bipolar as well, and I still find strength via music to fight one more day. Peace and love to all those who are in the struggle. May you find strength.
Sending you love and strength!! Please don’t give in, life is difficult but man is it beautiful…
Find your strength in Jesus. He died for all-out faults and mistakes put your trust in Him

Wishing you the best
Peace to you mate, u got great taste in music. Orsum work on the 1 yr sober, hope life sends u a good few positives from now on.
I remember these days. These were good days. Life was so full of hope, love, and passion. Here I am all these years later, alone in a cold apartment, my wife is in the ground, my family is in the ground, my friends are nowhere to be seen. My mental health continues to take a beating and continues to decline, my spirit is broken and I am slowly giving up. But it's nice to come back here from time to time and relive the good days, if only for a few minutes.
We're here for you. We're all on the same ship. We gna get through the storm 🙏🏼
Keep going. You CAN do it. 🤗
Sorry man, please don't let the devil win and quit...A struggle like this is real for everyone!
Fight on every minute of every day.
I'm sorry my human!!! W/ love to you, "A BRAVE SOUL"! FROM: BUFFALO, NY
"A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio" is one of my favorite lines.
I have songs that I like because they make me feel my emotions, remember certain times or people. Then this one does it on another level, a beautiful masterpiece this song is.
Did U happen To Like My Comment...I am so curious!? 🙏🏼
Music is like a time machine for me! I love it when a song comes on and I can smell the air surrounding me, the sights I seen and the way I felt. Everyone out there hurting just know its gets better just with time.
I have been listening to this since the day it came out always makes me appreciate the nostalgia of when life was easier. But hey.....we can all hope for that again. Take care. Jam on. Love golden memories. Always appreciate them and may they block out the bad ones.
Nothing ever gets better I was molested as a child and my ex took over from there and treated me like pure garbage now I'm alone and I can't trust anybody
@@douglasstanley4532 Things will get better. Some wounds become scars. But there’s always someone there to share your story with who can help those scars to fade. There are plenty of people out there who love you. Best of luck on your journey and all the love in the world to you.
The night my mom passed away i was inconsolable i was a complete mess (i was on suicide watch for 3 weeks) she was my rock the best mom a boy could ever hope to have i remember being on my knees sobbing next to my car next to jamaica pond and this song came on and Johnny's words wrapped around me and gave me the compfort i needed God i miss my mom thank you goo goo dolls i will always be a life long fan
When life goes to hell, music is there. It doesn't demand, it understands. It's my best friend, even when I'm abandoned by my friends, even when I am hiding from my friends. It is always there, waiting and welcoming when I am ready, and sometimes taking me by surprise, taking my breath away and squeezing my heart. Is there anything more pure than the spirit of song? I am so sorry about your mom. God bless.
I feel u I lost my mom to and this was her favorite song
I understand the thought of your mom passing!! Last mine this past Christmas and she was my rock as well! “Think about you all the time but I don’t need the same” hits me every time
Me to mommas are special
Dude I totally feel ya, but I promise you, you'll see her again. Peace be with ya
This song takes me back to my high school days. I’m almost 35 now with 3 kids and married, I remember taking a long drive and listening to this album. It made me feel at peace for some reason. Still listening to the goo goo dolls to this day. My favorite line is “scars are souvenirs you never lose, the past is never far....”
Hi Danielle,hope you’re okay ?
I'm 54 now. Even when you are lucky in life, scars are souvenirs you never lose. But...never mind that. Embrace and love life. You have 3 kids who love and count on you. Your kids love and count on you. They are lucky to have a Mom who loves them with all her heart.
Their lines hits something so different . Two kids i have. Drive long providence , they sang with me this song.
"When everything feels like the moives, yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive."
Probably top ten lines ever sang in a song. Delivery on it perfection.
Every line in this song is a lyrical masterpiece...a wonderful era of music, as many others are. Timeless for sure.❤
My son last song on his guitar for me 7:28pm July 21st, 2007 passed away in a carwreck I felt his heart soul go out into the sky come back within me .something that is unique rarely has happened. I love you Robby . Today it's been 13 years

One of the most incredibly emotionally raw and honest songs ever written. A masterpiece of songwriting.
“You grew up way too fast, and now there’s nothing to believe, and reruns all become our history” favorite line of the whole song just hits the soul man ❤

The best lyric I have ever heard.
... " and don't it make you sad to know that life is more than just who we are " ... that's gotta be the MOST RELATABLE LINE EVER. " ... did you become a star ... "
Man. I can still smell the smells, picture the memories and hear the surroundings of life when this was first released. I think we hit the sweet spot for a decade to grow up in.
The Lord Jesus Christ became the Savior of sinners (all humans) by coming down from Heaven & dying on the 🪵 wooden cross for our sins. God raised Him from the dead, and Jesus is now a living Savior with God in heaven.
But don't lose hope. Anyone can be saved from their sins and from going to hell in two easy, peasy steps:
1. Realize that you are a sinner who CAN'T SAVE YOURSELF from going to the lake of fire (forever) 🔥 based on your good deeds, your own philosophy, and other religions.
2. Realize that you need to believe in your heart ❤️ that ONLY Jesus Christ died for your sins.
If you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart ❤️ that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart ❤️ man believe unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Congratulations! 🎊 👏 After this life, you're on your way to heaven forever! ⬆️💯🥳
Everyone feels that way you are just describing nostalgia it’s nothing new bubaroo
@@small_fries7573whattt
In a few months, this song will be 30 and more relevant than ever
The 90s wasn’t a decade. It was an emotion.
Nostalgia.
Yes it was!

Have you ever wondered where your soul goes after this life? We are sinners despite any tiny sins we commit like lying, bad thoughts, or cussing. It doesn't even matter how many good deeds we do because one little sin is bad enough already. We cannot make it up to heaven on our own will.
Our God, Jesus Christ, decided to come down to Earth as a SINLESS human and sacrificed His life for our sins. Then He resurrected three days later! Therefore if you believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is your Savior, you'll definitely have eternal life. Your existence is proof that God is real.
Consider this: A creation like you have a Creator. Only in the Bible does it mention that God is the Creator of mankind. God is the only one who can create your body, your organs, your features, your blood, and fingerprints. That is why nobody has the same finger prints nor DNA as you. YOU ARE UNIQUE THANKS TO OUR GOD, JESUS CHRIST! Have a great day!

Our God, Jesus Christ, decided to come down to Earth as a SINLESS human and sacrificed His life for our sins. Then He resurrected three days later! Therefore if you believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is your Savior, you'll definitely have eternal life. Your existence is proof that God is real.
Consider this: A creation like you have a Creator. Only in the Bible does it mention that God is the Creator of mankind. God is the only one who can create your body, your organs, your features, your blood, and fingerprints. That is why nobody has the same finger prints nor DNA as you. YOU ARE UNIQUE THANKS TO OUR GOD, JESUS CHRIST! Have a great day!
The Goo Goo Dolls are perhaps the most underrated band in the history of rock and roll. "Did you lose yourself out there?"
I just love the line “a Tired song plays on a tired radio” at my age that hits so hard.
No matter how much u feast, u will still be hungry.
No matter how much u alcohol or soda u drink, u will still be thirsty.
No matter how much money 💰💸🪙 u have, u will still want more.
No matter how many men or women u slept with, u still want more.
No matter how blessed u are, u still want more blessings.
There's only 1 thing that can satisfy 😌 your soul. That means there's a way to go to heaven after you die & be saved from going to hell 🔥. You need to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior for your sins. No sinners can save himself. Do it before it is too late. Young people should also consider this also!
I'd be honored if some fans of mid/late 90s classics would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances NAME by the GooGoo Dolls and "1979" by the Smashing Pumpkins in tribute to 2 great standards of the era. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace out and stay safe in the '020s.

Truly amazing song!

Some scar`s are physical.... some are emotional . 6 of one or a half dozen of the other.

Thank you!
I’ve never been a big goo fan but I’m 40yrs old and I can’t think of a band that really reps the 90s like goo did. Loved those days. I hope everyone else who hit their teens during the 90s also enjoyed them as well
Heck yeah bruh. 90s were perfect! Much love.
We did.
Matchbox 20 reps well too.
Just wait until you hit 58. I dare you to try to hold back the tears.
I was born in the early 90s but LOVED this song as a teen. 😁

The lyrics in this song are so deep, especially in the second verse. I think this song is ultimately about growing up and being disappointing about the way life turns out. Not everybody becomes a star, a lot do grow up too fast etc... This a very underrated song in my opinion and I think its their best song overall.
+jason L Possibly about an aging movie star? It is an incredible song.
jason L I think so too.
actually rzeznik admits his ex girlfriend has a book and in it she suprisingly to me admits he wrote the song about the time they were dating and how he wouldn't share her real name bcuz she was famous and alot more now and few knew her real name
He grew up an orphan and sang this to his sisters It's oblique, so you can take it anyway you like
Adrian Fung I also read that!
I drop a tear every time i hear this song. The day of my mom's funeral i didn't cry. But when i got home and turned on the radio and heard this song for the first time I started crying. And I've been a fan of these guys ever since.
That is always a message from them. A good one, mate!

Just to end my never ending story..we are what we eat, see, read and listen to...very importante and people don't pay attention!!! I love placebo!!! Saw them 4 or 5 Times!!! But i ONLY listen to them either on winter, always Said they are winter music, or one or two One day randomly just like Alice in chains...whoever listen to them everyday like its part of the routine, end up depressed or suicidel or weird
I'll never understand how a human is able to make words paint pictures. I truly believe God gives certain people these gifts and I'm so glad I'm here to hear and see. The Goo Goo Dolls are amazing and this song is so beautiful.

This played on the radio in my truck my dad passed away and this made me think of him an just started crying I miss him so much he was my best friend
Sorry brother.
This song reminds me of my dad too. My condolences ❤️
Hang in there friend, everyone struggles.
Sorry for your loss. Cry it out, it helps in the healing. ❤️
This song & " Iris " both make cry. The first lines of " Iris " hit hard. It reminds my of my g/f who passed away @ age of 27 . We were together 10+ years. Never fought or got mad once. Her name is "Rachel" and I still cry everyday after 8 years.
.....'.and I`d give up forever to touch you ......cuz I know that you feel it somehow . You`re the closet to Heaven that I`ve been and I don`t want to lose you right now. And I don`t want the world to see me, cuz I don`t that they`d understand , when everything`s made to be broken I just want you to know who I am..... ( I`m just so much sadder now ) I miss you Baby..
RIP Baby .
STILL A WORK OF ART AFTER ALL OF THESE YEARS...........
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT CHOICE YOU WILL EVER MAKE AND THE TIME TO DECIDE IS NOW ⏲️ ⏳️ 🕐
I choose to turn to Jesus Christ realizing I am a sinner in need of a Savior. I believe Jesus died for my sins and resurrected in 3ndays. Therefore some day after my life, I'll live with Him in heaven.
OR....
I reject Jesus as my Savior for my sins and spend eternity in hell 🔥 📛 with nonbelievers and the devil, satan.
The tempo changes in this are flawless. It creates a perfect dialogue between reflection and action. Love this song so much.
Yeah never saw the connection between the tempo change but spot on
That is incredibly observant!
They use them in Iris to. 6/8 to 8/8 between the two
Never thought of that! Spot on!
Retrospective and contemplative. I've loved this song since before I even officially knew who sang it. Can you believe it's almost 30 years old? Sigh!

I'm right here with you, brother. The pain reminds me of the good and that will be what I hold, not any regrets.
Too true brother, too true..
Thanks man

I relate to you there. This was the very first song that I can recall playing on repeat when I was a child. It quickly became my favorite song, and it is still my favorite song to this day. However, for all of those years that I listened to not only them but this specific song, it was not until I got to see them live back in September of 2011 and Johnny explained the meaning behind the song, that I realized that this was my life..... I too am an Orphan, though at the time I first heard this song I still had my Dad, he died 2 years later....... like for that song to come full circle like that over 20 years later was just mind blowing. The instrumentals of this song always cut to my core and so for as many times as I have listened to it I just never focused on the lyrics so much..... it's just crazy.
We need to be kind to others. Even when we feel defeated by the judgment of others. It makes us better humans. We learn from it and grow. To all the ones I've lost- to addictions and domestic violence, you're in my heart. Always and forever ❤
I wanna go back there now... to that time, to that place, to those people, to that someone-- wish I could listen to him play this song again... back in school when he'd bring that guitar and we'd all gather around under the tree between classes to sing along to these kinds of songs. Nothing beats those sunny afternoons. I'm quite certain the sun shone much brighter back then.
It did. It always does. When you’re looking back, you’re missing the light illuminating all the people in your present.

Wasn’t a huge fan of these dudes back in the day but, wow, what a tune. As a former radio DJ, I’ll say that this song perfectly represents, not only 90’s music, but also what it meant to be living your life back then: 03:02 this point perfectly encapsulates an era - sonically it represents a sound lightly dipped in early 90’s grunge, rinsed in cool mid/late 90’s alternative to create an anthem for a transitional, end of the century, decade. Kudos, lads 👏 this song will never grow old, only better 🎧

In 1995, this song came out after my oldest brother passed away. This reminds me of him in so many ways. He was hard of hearing in both ears. Tormented and bullied all his life. Back when he was younger, there were only special schools for mentally challenged children. He was not accepted into these schools for the simple fact that he was okay except for his hearing.
Fast forward to his late teens. My father was an abusive alcoholic. Used to beat on him something awful. David turned to alcohol and then eventually, drugs, to numb the pain of his past.
Long story short, the pain was too much for him to live with.

Joel I'm an 80s guy. To ME personally that was the best era of rock and metal music EVER! But that's bcuz I'm a little biased to growing up in that era.😁😁😁
The 90's don't touch the 80's by a longshot, 90's music overall was pretty dreadful with grunge and alternative. The 70's and 80's were the best!!
Without a doubt the best decade in many ways. We were happy and didn't know... Those were the days!
And once 2000 hit. music died
Don’t it make you sad to know that life, is more then who we are. That lyric has sat with me for over 20 years. It’s so true, we expect too much from each other and don’t appreciate the people in our life for being themselves.

I choose to turn to Jesus Christ realizing I am a sinner in need of a Savior. I believe Jesus died for my sins and resurrected in 3ndays. Therefore some day after my life, I'll live with Him in heaven.
OR....
I reject Jesus as my Savior for my sins and spend eternity in hell 🔥 📛 with nonbelievers and the devil, satan.
The nostalgia in a song of nostalgia... Im overwhelmed 😭😭😭😭
Literally everything about this song is beautiful. It is the perfect song.
this is the song that made the goo goo dolls. literally. john had played music since he was 19 and made the pact with himself if he did not have a hit by the time he was 30, he was quitting music. hit the charts when he was 29.
Literally
@@carsonhoberty9683 literally
Stop saying *literally. You sound stupid.
FACTS💯🙌🔥
I love this group so much. It reminds me of the love of my life. Coming up on ten years since he passed of cancer.
I'm always enjoying listening to their tunes.
Makes me very happy and sometimes shed a tear.
I'll never forget this song because of someone who means the world to me. She was in my life when it came out 20 years ago and luckily she still is. It's nearly as beautiful as this song and brings tears. Happy ones. Reminds me of people who have gone away and to treasure the ones who have not.
Jason Camp I get you. Makes me feel the same way
Same here
Almost every word of this song describes me totally screwing up my relationship for the past 5 years, with the greatest woman I have ever known it really has always meant a lot to me and now I know why
Since the days of electronics this song relates to everyone every era Every love every broken heart and timeless memories of someone special
What a wonderful instrument he has. 60 years old, reminds me of my dad.Passed in 1994. Im honored to have an adult relationship with him.The best friend anyone could ever have.
I always come back to this one when I’m feeling low. I think it’s the “scars are souvenirs you never lose. The past is never far. Did you lose yourself somewhere out there”
This song hits different during quarantine
It does.
I'm turning 45 this year, and this song has been with me since middle school. still puts me in a good mood when I listen to this song ...
You are a special and unique person. Your life & soul matter. Your life is very short compared to eternity.
Therefore if you want to spend eternity on heaven after your life here on earth 🌎, you should believe in your heart ❤️ that Jesus Christ is your Savior. If you don't, you will miss going to heaven and end up in the lake of fire. It is terrible so I beg you to make the only correct decision for God to allow you to go to heaven. Jesus Christ is the only way to eternal life. 🙏 Have a nice day. God does love ❤️ you.
For ALL have sinned and fallen short of God's glory.
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
1. Admit you are a sinner.
2. Just simply 😍 believe in your heart ❤️ that Jesus Christ is your Savior for your sins.
*If you do, you will go to heaven.
Your math don't work. If you're 45, you would have been in high school when this song was released
Even though the moment passed me by, I still can’t turn away…. I can relate to this, still can’t turn away even though it’s been 34 years now…
Have u wondered if there's evil and good? Who is the character that people bring up when they are asked who is the leader of evil? Devil right?
Who would be the counterpart who is the Supreme or Holiness of all? God, right?
Creation is the biggest evidence that we are created by God. Our organs, our DNA, our cells, our urinary systems, our circulatory system, our neural functions, our unique fingerprints, and so forth. Our mothers cannot create any of these things within or outer part of our bodies. But still we love our moms.
God, the 90s was such a great decade.
Sounds better as time goes on, that is for sure... This is a 90s masterpiece. Gorgeous.
You speak the truth bro. The 90s....a time when music was REALLY GOOD and it took ACTUAL TALENT to make, unlike today's utter shyte (Yes, I'm looking at you Nicky Manaj and co)

I miss it so much
Good.. but 80s were better..
Me and my little brother would listen to this song driving around on backroads when he was in high school. He is now in the US Navy working aboard a Carrier. Every time I hear this song memories come flooding back to me and him. Wish I could’ve drove around with him one more time before he shipped out. Love you buddy!
One of the best song ever written. So simple yet so unique. So romantic yet so powerful. So soft yet so strong. I love this song so much.
Growing up in buffalo, ny. These guys were everything to the city. They been rocking since Allentown days
Grew up in Syracuse. It was contagious.
the simple majesty of this song, nearly hypnotic, is incandescent to its power message in its prose; the reality of each line, lays a punch to life's pageantry and reminds us that we have indeed 'grown up way too fast' and it grabs us by the throat to recall that we are only what our situations hand us, its either sadness or euphoria. One of the best tunes, well, ever. Just my two cents.
This song makes me fly .. go back .. I can never stop listening
First heard this song on the radio one night while driving along the north coastline, I was nineteen then. Twenty-six years later and this song still invokes my emotions!! I listen to it most nights just before going to bed. The acoustic soothes me every time. That voice and those lyrics....... just magical. It's one of those songs I'll never get tired of listening to.
30 years old. This is insane. One of my favorite songs of all time. Easily top 20
One of the greatest songs ever.
I know it's difficult to influence people that Jesus Christ (God) is real.
However I'm sure you know there's evil 😈 & good in this world. Here's a video above showing the realness of Satan and demons in terms of worshipping in America 🇺🇸. It also shows quotes from high level Satanists proving that Satan and demons are real.

"the past is never far". i sit here almost 50 now, and i remember graduating in 1990, i remember being a teen in the 80s and i remember my twenties in the 90s. and its all so clear, it really feels like yesterday like it just happened, i never felt the time pass it was just gone. life passed by in a flash a moment. and at the same time the memories are always greying and fading, it almost feels like a past life or something, like something you remember but never really happened. or maybe it just happened to some one else, maybe someone else lived your life and you are just left with nothing. no years no memories no experiences no time. i feel this song more than i should, i feel its mood all the time, its not the lyrics so much or anything else its just the over all feeling or atmosphere of it. its how i feel, and i dont know why. but its always been this way, long before this song ever existed.
Time is crazy. 20 years ago it didn’t exist. Now I’m 43 and how the fuck did I get here?
That made me cry. You're so right.
What's funny ...so not funny actually, when I hear my kids and their friends referring to the 90s as the "late 1900s" .....let that shit sink in. I said loudly, DON'T ever say that again. Just didn't set well with me.
I hear you friend. It's strange how we live multiple lives in this one life isn't it? But with that, this stretch, as you enter into your 50s, is yet another chapter-a new life. Why are we here? What is this thing we call life? Why do we do it? I've searched high and low and here's the best answer I have for you: A wise man said "There is nothing else to do here except live. The only choice you have is to live it superficially or in a profound manner."
"Did you lose yourself somewhere out there" One of the deepest lines, in any song, ever...
I'd be honored if some Goo's fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performance of NAME on my YT channel in tribute to one of the greatest songs of the 1990s. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and peace out.
We all lose ourselves. Fucking sad
hope youll not get mad i tried to sing it sir

I guess it's hard to beat "I did it all for the nookie...", nice try!
@@willritter4076 I'll give it my ears, but if it sucks, yer in trouble!
32 yo and this song hits me in a way I can’t explain. Nostalgic and melancholy. But brings happiness at the same time.. I’ve loved this song since I was 10 or so years old.
This song reminds me of someone I miss terribly, yes even after 16 years.
20 years for me thinking of an old friend who meant the world to me. This song always makes me think of them.
Me too miss dearly 💕
Me too... But it's been 19 years.
Heard this back in 1995, NOW at the age of 36, Still LOVE It!!!
37 here yo! I heard it on the radio!
37 and this is the song that got me into this band. Finally got to see them this year.
37 here too!!! Awesome! God Bless you all! This song still amazes!
17 here and Goo Goo Dolls is my favorite band and also 90's bands are the besttttt
Probably one of the most underrated groups /songwriters of the 90’s / early 2000s
Life is unpredictable and issues usually come up. Anyone from any age is not guaranteed tomorrow. Even young people should think 🤔 about heaven ✨️ or hell 🔥.
Therefore if you want to spend eternity on heaven after your life here on earth 🌎, you should believe in your heart ❤️ that Jesus Christ is your Savior. If you don't, you will miss going to heaven and end up in the lake of fire. It is terrible so I beg you to make the only correct decision for God to allow you to go to heaven. Jesus Christ is the only way to eternal life. 🙏 Have a nice day.
Whoever is listening to this classic..you really have impeccable taste in music! Kudos! ❤️
