Mike thank you! She was a dear friend like a sister and this song reminds me of all the fun we used to have. So thankful for the memories. It’s a reminder to make each day count and make more memories with those you love
This music takes me back to when life was much nicer, media didn’t rule the internet (because it was new and cool), and it was just laid back and awesome. God I miss the 90’s!
I miss the late 90s and early 2000s so much. 😢 Where can i go where people still carry that energy of joy and excitement?? My loved ones from those times have passed and i miss that energy so much.
Thank God we recorded it all. Thank God for recording technology. And a place called the USA. This phenomenon is an American thang. All the legends... you name a decade.thats only possible with freedom. It does not happen in communist country's!!
If you find it, Bruh, Tell the Rest of Us ! I think we ALL Feel that Way- We may be Xers and used to shit Suckin but WE ALWAYS WORKED IT OUT. I have never felt more Hopeless than I do Now. People are genuinely Evil, Now. And DGAF...
@@jacobaguilar6756 I don't have social media other than TH-cam. It's the culture of then that I miss. Oh well. Good thing I mostly like today's time too other then the politics
I met my wife dancing to this song. I had terrible dance moves. So did she. Through thick and thin over the years...Sugar Ray always brings us back to those wonderful memories of the 90s.
@@winnienguyen4420 not trolling but not trying to be mean. I’m sorry if I offend I have learned my lesson. I will sit in the corner and think about what I’ve done.
when I was in labor with my daughter for 38 hours my husband put his arms around me and sang this song for hours.. kept me trying and now our beautiful daughter is 26 years old. :)
You are, what we used to call in the Army, a ROCK soldier! Ten feet tall and bulletproof! You have my salute! Hope that you got good drugs during that ordeal!
For Sure!!Gen X Here!All of You younger folks missed prob the Best and Most Exciting time to be a Teenager/Young 20ish Guy/Gal!!! Things have Really Gone Downhill since the turn of the Millennium!Have these Wonderful Memories Too Keep me Going !Best Music
“25 years old, my mother God rest her soul” When I first heard this song and fell in love with it 13 years ago, I never imagined that those words would become true until they did. I love you and miss you every day mom.
Rip to your mum, just a question how did you only hear this song 13 years ago? I mean it was played big time everywhere when it came out...well now 16 yrs ago actually I see ur post is 3 yrs old
59 here. Rock on! I'm thankful for music services these days like Amazon Music where I heard this on a 90s station this week. We have seen some of the greatest innovations in our lives.
Still listening to it and think about you mom!! When turned 25, coincidentally this song came through my head. It's been for years mom! Rest in peace mom and will always be thinking of you. 😥🥲☺️
I lived on a small little farm just outside fort worth back then. I remember singing this song to all the animals back in I want to say in 97. Their next album I saved up and bought, that thing never left my side for a whole school year.
i wasnt born in the 90s but my mom listen to these songs all the time, i really wish i was born then bc the vibe im getting from these songs, now those mustve been some good times
You know your old or getting old when you scroll down and read people being sent here due to internet videos rather than watching when the music video was shown on tv.
My cousin has Retts Syndrome and is nonverbal. She's 18. Every time someone sings this song she cracks up and smiles. I sang this to her and it made her so happy she was laughing and tearing up. Music is amazing. ❤️
This song holds a special memory in my heart. Riding back into town bumpin this after tripping shrooms all day in the woods and my friend Scotty was in another car playing the same song on the radio. We both got to the parking lot blaring the same song and turned it all the way up and started singing "ALL AROUND THE WORLD, STATUES CRUMBLE FOR ME" etc. perfect summer day and memory. RIP to Scotty you will be missed forever.
Idk what it is with Sugar Ray. I started listening to them recently, and every time I do, it’s like their soul is ACTUALLY in the music. Like some friends who knew what you were going through and decided to make a song about it while also trying to cheer you up. They’ve actually made me feel the happiest in my saddest of moments. Thank you, Sugar Ray. Thank you so much.

Can't even listen to it without the reggae adlibs I had to leave Spotify. Okay the year was 1998. Power rangers toys, big ass McDonald's happy meals, I was 6 I think my brother was 1. This came on in my mom's Monte Carlo. She turned the channel and I did all I could to get her to turn back and man it was one of the best decisions we ever made. Music is powerful. A song can time travel your senses. Now I'm 32 with a 6 year old and soon to be one year old who's currently eating fruit while I play this song and clean the house lol ill show his big brother when him and moms get back. Yall have a great day
Still here in 2024 remembering being in middle school hearing this in 97 and seeing the music video on MTV. Memories of the summer of 97, going to the public pool, riding bikes with my friends exploring new places, going to the park to hang out, going to the corner burger joint (valley burger) playing video games, kissing girls, playing with fire, making prank calls on the pay phone, and all at the age of 12-13. 😁😎 ahhhh the good ol days of being carefree where no one could reach you if you were out and just the freedom of not being tied to a cell phone and no social media.
I just came back to this after raising my son. He's late 20's and I've introduced him and his friends and they love this. It's great to have a beer and dance with the young ins to great music!
This song was one of those that played on the radio when it came out, every 5 minutes, and I loved it. Miss those days!! Goodness how fast time passes away.
Remember going to L.A. for the first time and this was on Radio in my buddies car that picked me up at airport!!Rest is history!Fell in Love with the O.C.!Left but I'm gonna return soon,hope I don't leave next time!Thanks for The Memories and the time traveling!Love Music
I remember back in the day requesting songs on the radio and it seemed like most djs wouldn't play what I asked for, I assumed because I was a kid. So one time, I called & requested this song & tried to change my voice to sound older & the guy just started mocking me. What a dbag. Ah memories.
When I was a kid I thought songs came on at certain times during the hour, so I would make a list of songs and there time. I honestly wasn't too far off, and concerning your dbag dj, that happened to me as well when calling in as a kid so you weren't alone.
I also requested this song on the radio, I was SOOOOO sick of Usher - U Make Me Wanna! Now I like that song too but at the time it was just one of the other.
hes on fire... always... I remember this when i first got married in the 90's i use to sing this to my exwife. She would crack up. All their songs are great. Songs about love, relationships, pain, living. Go Mark! Go Sugar Ray and company! Thanx for the joy.
I remember when they put this shiz on the platform. I was a sophomore in highschool and my homegirl and I had it on repeat for weeks. A much simpler time🥹
Lyrics All around the world statues crumble for me Who knows how long I've loved you Everywhere I go people stop and they see Twenty-five years old my mother God rest her soul I just wanna fly Put your arms around me, baby Put your arms around me, baby I just wanna fly Put your arms around me, baby Put your arms around me, baby Dance a little stranger, show me where you've been Love can make you hostage wanna do it again There's no time to think about the starting or the end We'll find out I'm told, my mother she told me so I just wanna fly Put your arms around me, baby Put your arms around me, baby I just wanna fly Put your arms around me, baby Put your arms around me, baby I just want to fly I just want to fly All around the world, statues crumble for me Who knows how long I've loved you Everyone I know has been so good to me Twenty-five years old, my mother God rest her soul I just wanna fly Put your arms around me, baby Put your arms around me, baby I just wanna fly Put your arms around me, baby Put your arms around me, baby I just want to fly I just want to fly I just want to fly I just want to fly I just want to fly
Mike Price , That sounds like it would mean something, but does it? Did the Statue of David say "Mark McGrath is coming! Well, there goes my marble dick."
You had to be there. There was nothing like it. Out in the streets until the lights came on. Running into the house to watch Power Rangers, Dragonball Z, Toonami, etc. People having block parties, boom boxes in the streets. The streets were always full of people. Walking home from school to go to the arcades, eat pizza, playing Street Fighter II, Simpson Arcade, X-men Arcade game, tokens.... Roller blades were new. Skate boarding, Tony hawk pro skater, N64, ugh!!! It was a time man!! Omg take me back 😂😂😂
Everybody has that ONE song that puts them in a GREAT mood every time you hear it. This is mine!! I was 7 in 1997, not a care in the world and LOVED the music scene then. I get so many 90's flashbacks hearing this song. Only late 1980's and early 1990's kids can probably relate with me. Still a banger today for upbeat music!
Let's give props for Super Cat and his contribution to this song's fame. I remember hearing Fly for the first time and thinking, "How in the hell did the reggae artist who sang Don Dada get on this track? But it works!"
Same! Strangely I was looking for a spiritual answer I was praying for and this song came to mind. When I read the lyrics, I cried. It was the perfect answer. Bless Jesus!
The older I get I interpret this song and “someday” as spiritual. I don’t know how to explain it but it is so soothing and healing for the soul ❤. God bless Sugar Ray
Came here to download this mad piece of music after hearing a bit of it on tv tonight. Hearing it brought me back to the 90s. God how could I have forgotten all abt this awesome band!!!
I remember when I first heard this song I was like watching the American dad Spring break episode and now I’m old enough to go on spring break now lol damn I feel old
When this song was released all the music critics said they were a fad and that this was their one hit wonder. In response to all that criticism they named their next album 14:59 signifying they still had 1 second left of their "15 minutes of fame"
Actually, Sugar Ray had several hits. "Every Morning", "Fly, "When It's Over", "Someday"... And, Smash Mouth also had more hits than just "Walking On The Sun". "All Star"..."I'm a Believer"... Neither band was a one hit wonder.
cramMetallic Indeed it is! Also, maybe Answer the Phone, Is She Really Going Out With Him, and Mr. Bartender might be considered moderate Sugar Ray hits :)
EU ME LEMBRO BEM DESSA MUSICA E TOCAVA MUITO AQUI NO BRASIL...ISSO NO ANO DE 1997...FOI UMA EPOCA BOA COM MÚSICAS BOAS...É UMA PENA QUE ESSE TEMPO NÃO VOLTA MAIS..O QUE É BOM ACABA CEDO...INFELIZMENTE!!!
when i was in elementary school my bus driver used to listen to the pop station. i remember going to school and having those songs stuck in my head. 20 years later they still get stuck in my head, but its a good thing, despite how cheesy they are.
Grew up in the 2000’s inheriting the CDs of my brothers and sisters. Glad I got to experience this on its original format. I use to rush home from school to blast the stereo before the parents got home.
Adriana Cortez Our capacity for ignorance and self rationalization were higher then...we can see bullshit all around us coming from miles away now and we spend literally all day deflecting bullshit. Back then we had ignorance
Lol, are you joking? This band is the definition of sell out. I'm assuming you never heard their earlier shit when they were a metal band. I don't blame them, they made money and McGrath made a career out of it but they are complete sell outs
HapaHarley This is funny as hell. If you didnt comment on this I was going to say the same thing. Sugar Ray had a horrible metal (don't know the specific genre of metal) career before they sad fuck it lets go main stream. Honestly, I am so thankful the two albums they put out though of their pop/ska-ish phase.
Hard to believe Mark McGrath, lead singer of this group, turned 49 years old on March 15. What's even harder to believe, (for me, anyway), is that my 46the birthday is next week. I was 26 when this song hit the Billboard charts and had a serious crush on Mark.
I had just moved to the US in 1997 and I I remember loving this song, didn't understand any of it but I would hum along to it. When I finally learned english I enjoyed it even more!
the 90s was the last decade the inherent joy of life was openly revealed. it is still here, but you have to cultivate it for yourself. To attain it you have to detach to a large degree from the world because it is so much darker now than it was then.
It really is. I mean, there's a lot of bias from us 90s kids about how much better everything was, and I'll openly admit that. But things have gotten objectively darker these days.
Perspective, guys. Heavy sigh. September 2020 now, and we’re in the midst of a global pandemic. Dark days indeed. Matthew, your statement about “last decade of inherent joy” troubles me because joy is an inside job. I have special memories I associate 90s alternative music with, joyful moments with my late husband, who died on his motorcycle in ‘03. It’s taken me a long time to find joy again, but I did. And I’m living fully in the present! Voltaire said we must cultivate our own garden. In that you are correct. Oh, and I’ll be 60 next year. Rock on 🤘
Whoaaaaa this is the truest comment. I’ve been trying to put my finger on it. We live in such a dark depressed world. The 90s embraces such a wonderful love of life. What’s happened 😢
Spoiler: Every single generation that has ever lived on this planet feels the exact same way about their childhood. That said, I'd give just about anything to go back to 1997.
90's kid here born in 1990 still rockin sugar ray, i remember jammin to this watchin MTV back in the day and now 2024 🤘🏽

Now I'm 32 with a 6 year old and soon to be one year old who's currently eating fruit while I play this song and clean the house lol ill show his big brother when him and moms get back. Yall have a great day
I used to listen to this so much when I was younger.
I had never seen the music video until today.
Nice to see happy people.
Only the lucky ppl that had cable could see it in VH1
@@rosiomagallanes5172 That makes sense.
God bless you Sir. I lost my mom. She was 39. That was 1994. Same year my son was born . I’ll always
Love this song.
Peace to you and your loved ones
This was such a feel good jam when I was a teen, & it still jammin 24 years later. The 90s truly was an amazing decade of music.
Still here in 2024 remembering being in middle school hearing this in 97 and seeing the music video on MTV. Memories of the summer of 97, going to the public pool, riding bikes with my friends exploring new places, going to the park to hang out, going to the corner burger joint (valley burger) playing video games, kissing girls, playing with fire, making prank calls on the pay phone, and all at the age of 12-13. 😁😎 ahhhh the good ol days of being carefree where no one could reach you if you were out and just the freedom of not being tied to a cell phone and no social media.
This song is timeless, gives you good vibes!
novamente lá na piscina
I'm 23 and I vividly remember being in the back of my parents car listening to this song. Still love it now.
Same!
I haven’t heard this song in so long... the Arby’s commercial with Ving Rhames singing it brought me back 😂😂
I just came back to this after raising my son. He's late 20's and I've introduced him and his friends and they love this. It's great to have a beer and dance with the young ins to great music!
Summer of 97'. Boy o boy does this song bring me back there.
confucius12012 wooord.....no responsibilities just partying and tryin yo get good grades damnit....
i was 9 in '97. short, fat, and trying to figure out girls. i used to skate to this song and just chill in the southern cali sunshine
This song was one of those that played on the radio when it came out, every 5 minutes, and I loved it. Miss those days!! Goodness how fast time passes away.
Yup time just flew by 22 years in the 21 century...damn!!!!
And then 9/11 happened
Amen brother, I miss everything about those days. We have eternity to look forward to in heaven though. Let's be strong!
Still gets me through some rough times, good ol ray
Music with a meaning

Remember going to L.A. for the first time and this was on Radio in my buddies car that picked me up at airport!!Rest is history!Fell in Love with the O.C.!Left but I'm gonna return soon,hope I don't leave next time!Thanks for The Memories and the time traveling!Love Music
I remember back in the day requesting songs on the radio and it seemed like most djs wouldn't play what I asked for, I assumed because I was a kid. So one time, I called & requested this song & tried to change my voice to sound older & the guy just started mocking me. What a dbag. Ah memories.
When I was a kid I thought songs came on at certain times during the hour, so I would make a list of songs and there time. I honestly wasn't too far off, and concerning your dbag dj, that happened to me as well when calling in as a kid so you weren't alone.
Same here! Never got a successful req. as a kid...
I also requested this song on the radio, I was SOOOOO sick of Usher - U Make Me Wanna! Now I like that song too but at the time it was just one of the other.
In case you're curious th-cam.com/video/bQRzrnH6_HY/w-d-xo.html
probably cos its a shit song
This is still 🔥 all these years later. What a banger the 90s had some great music
I remember playing on the N64 with my friends while they had this playing on their IMac. Man, such a carefree time.
I love some good classical music 🎶
This 90'a era of mixing pop and hip hop was great and Sugar Ray was one of the greatest to ever do it.
hes on fire... always... I remember this when i first got married in the 90's i use to sing this to my exwife. She would crack up. All their songs are great. Songs about love, relationships, pain, living. Go Mark! Go Sugar Ray and company! Thanx for the joy.
I fell in love with this song when i was little and heard it at a Kmart in Florida, just captivated me, then i found out my dad was a huge fan.
Weird hah... My memory of "Every Morning" is tied to KMart as well. Lol.
I remember when they put this shiz on the platform. I was a sophomore in highschool and my homegirl and I had it on repeat for weeks. A much simpler time🥹
2023
This song...
Totally reminded me of My Youth..
Thanks for sharing
🤙🤘✌👍👍👍👍👍👍
Damn Arby's commercial got me here lmfao Nostalgia 90s
Same
Same here bro 😆
Yep. Had to remind my mom.
same, but my nostalgia put me in my feels
Same! Lmao
Lyrics
All around the world statues crumble for me
Who knows how long I've loved you
Everywhere I go people stop and they see
Twenty-five years old my mother God rest her soul
I just wanna fly
Put your arms around me, baby
Put your arms around me, baby
I just wanna fly
Put your arms around me, baby
Put your arms around me, baby
Dance a little stranger, show me where you've been
Love can make you hostage wanna do it again
There's no time to think about the starting or the end
We'll find out I'm told, my mother she told me so
I just wanna fly
Put your arms around me, baby
Put your arms around me, baby
I just wanna fly
Put your arms around me, baby
Put your arms around me, baby
I just want to fly
I just want to fly
All around the world, statues crumble for me
Who knows how long I've loved you
Everyone I know has been so good to me
Twenty-five years old, my mother God rest her soul
I just wanna fly
Put your arms around me, baby
Put your arms around me, baby
I just wanna fly
Put your arms around me, baby
Put your arms around me, baby
I just want to fly
I just want to fly
I just want to fly
I just want to fly
I just want to fly
Bring back this era of music. So happy and chill. Such a mood
This song always makes me feel like a kid again. 28 now. 1995
ALL AROUND THE WORLD, STATUES CRUMBLE FOR ME!
Mike Price , That sounds like it would mean something, but does it? Did the Statue of David say "Mark McGrath is coming! Well, there goes my marble dick."
Mike Price
ALL AROUND THE WORLD! STATUES CRUMBLE FOR ME!

I wish I knew those were the good old days before they left.
old enough to remember when things were great. too young to have enjoyed them.
Hindsight is always 20/20
Damn...we did leave didnt we😔😔
That's what made them so good though. You didn't have a worry about the past or what the future may bring. It was all about the moment
You had to be there. There was nothing like it. Out in the streets until the lights came on. Running into the house to watch Power Rangers, Dragonball Z, Toonami, etc. People having block parties, boom boxes in the streets. The streets were always full of people. Walking home from school to go to the arcades, eat pizza, playing Street Fighter II, Simpson Arcade, X-men Arcade game, tokens.... Roller blades were new. Skate boarding, Tony hawk pro skater, N64, ugh!!! It was a time man!! Omg take me back 😂😂😂
I love the two ladies dancing at 2:56. Wish we could see more of them.
I'm listening to a bunch of old music playlist, so many memories.
fuuuuuuuuuck for real!!! good times
I feel so old every time he says "25 years old"... I turn 26 this October.. I remember being 20 listening to this. How time flies.
Dude I got almost a decade on you, you're not old! 😁
Everybody has that ONE song that puts them in a GREAT mood every time you hear it.
This is mine!!
I was 7 in 1997, not a care in the world and LOVED the music scene then. I get so many 90's flashbacks hearing this song. Only late 1980's and early 1990's kids can probably relate with me.
Still a banger today for upbeat music!
Timeless, amazing, pure music. Yes!! Bring it back🤙🏼
Let's give props for Super Cat and his contribution to this song's fame. I remember hearing Fly for the first time and thinking, "How in the hell did the reggae artist who sang Don Dada get on this track? But it works!"
He's the only reason this song was successful. The video is super corny.
I'm 25 years old, born in September 1994. My mom just passed away on the 13th of August. I love this song, it hit home before I was even at home
Sorry for your loss. I hope our song brings up some good memories for you
@@MurphyKargesBass Thanks Murph, God Bless
Sorry
Song popped in my head randomly, haven't heard this song in years
Same! Strangely I was looking for a spiritual answer I was praying for and this song came to mind. When I read the lyrics, I cried. It was the perfect answer. Bless Jesus!
Just heard this while shopping in coles .had to come home an listen with volume!...wow! Time flys too...
I was in 6th grade when this came out. They used to play this at all the school dances and the skatepark. God I miss that time! Makes me so happy!
The older I get I interpret this song and “someday” as spiritual. I don’t know how to explain it but it is so soothing and healing for the soul ❤. God bless Sugar Ray
Music is like a Time Machine,always takes you back to where you were when you first heard it. 🖤🎵
Came here to download this mad piece of music after hearing a bit of it on tv tonight. Hearing it brought me back to the 90s. God how could I have forgotten all abt this awesome band!!!
Sugar Ray literally cures any depression I have. How did they manage to do that? I'll never know, but I'm grateful!
Literally
Music does this to our soul!!
17 years since I saw this live and still it ranks in my top 5 concerts of all time.
“25 years old, my mother God rest her soul.”
Yet this song will be 25 in 2 years!
I have to disagree. This is one of those upbeat songs that's timeless😃
@@leniselafleur4289 it’s just irony
@thomas brunn wtf
Wow... That fact makes you feel insta old. Lol
@@rastadpl I was 15 when this came out. Now 40, so yeah...Lol
I remember when I first heard this song I was like watching the American dad Spring break episode and now I’m old enough to go on spring break now lol damn I feel old
When this song was released all the music critics said they were a fad and that this was their one hit wonder. In response to all that criticism they named their next album 14:59 signifying they still had 1 second left of their "15 minutes of fame"
And, they proceeded to score several more hits :)
it is a one hit wonder but who cares. Kinda like Walkin on the sun
Actually, Sugar Ray had several hits.
"Every Morning", "Fly, "When It's Over", "Someday"...
And, Smash Mouth also had more hits than just "Walking On The Sun". "All Star"..."I'm a Believer"...
Neither band was a one hit wonder.
Emezie Okorafor Sir is "Falls Apart" not a hit? I love that song too!
cramMetallic
Indeed it is! Also, maybe Answer the Phone, Is She Really Going Out With Him, and Mr. Bartender might be considered moderate Sugar Ray hits :)
The theme song of the summer of 1997. I was only 5 but damn I remember. Good Burger and Men in Black to contribute
men in black really was the same summer as this, wasn't it? T_T
Man your comment made me OD on nostalgia. I vividly remember seeing those movies in theaters. The 90s were such a great time to be a kid.
*welcome to Good Burger
home of the Good Burger
can i take your order?*
Same, going to kindergarten with this burnt on a CD and my discman
And Blue Streak came out in 99
EU ME LEMBRO BEM DESSA MUSICA E TOCAVA MUITO AQUI NO BRASIL...ISSO NO ANO DE 1997...FOI UMA EPOCA BOA COM MÚSICAS BOAS...É UMA PENA QUE ESSE TEMPO NÃO VOLTA MAIS..O QUE É BOM ACABA CEDO...INFELIZMENTE!!!
Verdade meu amigo, mas quem sabe ainda viveremos esses velhos tempos dnovo algum dia. Eu tenho fé.
@@setasan VERDADE MEU AMIGO...VAMOS TORCER PRA QUE ISSO POSSA ACONTECER UM DIA...VALEU E UM ABRAÇO!!
It wasn’t summer until you heard a sugar ray song on the radio in the 90s 😂
Or Smashmouth!
Great 90s tune with the don Dada Supercat adding a perfect Jamaican flare to this tune.
It’s kinda sad that no one mentions him in the comments.
This needs about 100 million more views.
*500 Billion
I haven't heard this song since it played on the radio when radio was still the primary avenue to music.
Those ‘90s summer jams never get old!!! I was 6 or 7 years old when this jam came out!!!!
Michael dwb love your com comment still live ing old Wess old des never die peace and love
Isso é muita nostalgia, coração não aguenta, kkkk. Feliz em estar vivo e poder ver isso novamente.
when i was in elementary school my bus driver used to listen to the pop station. i remember going to school and having those songs stuck in my head. 20 years later they still get stuck in my head, but its a good thing, despite how cheesy they are.
Grew up in the 2000’s inheriting the CDs of my brothers and sisters. Glad I got to experience this on its original format. I use to rush home from school to blast the stereo before the parents got home.
high school days. such good memories. music was better then.
Adriana Cortez Our capacity for ignorance and self rationalization were higher then...we can see bullshit all around us coming from miles away now and we spend literally all day deflecting bullshit. Back then we had ignorance
@Calvin zzstu Smiley depends on the day
I really miss this kind of music. wasn't a bunch of sell-outs back then, just people writing music for PEOPLE, not money.
Lol, are you joking? This band is the definition of sell out. I'm assuming you never heard their earlier shit when they were a metal band. I don't blame them, they made money and McGrath made a career out of it but they are complete sell outs
okay i'll rephrase: there were LESS people that sold out for the better of themselves back then.
HapaHarley This is funny as hell. If you didnt comment on this I was going to say the same thing. Sugar Ray had a horrible metal (don't know the specific genre of metal) career before they sad fuck it lets go main stream. Honestly, I am so thankful the two albums they put out though of their pop/ska-ish phase.
Zonx lemonade and brownies is way better than this shit
Hard to believe Mark McGrath, lead singer of this group, turned 49 years old on March 15. What's even harder to believe, (for me, anyway), is that my 46the birthday is next week.
I was 26 when this song hit the Billboard charts and had a serious crush on Mark.
I was 25 the summer this hit and I just turned 49 on March 13th...
He was like a cross between Ethan Hawk and Brad Pitt's character in Fight Club.
I had just moved to the US in 1997 and I I remember loving this song, didn't understand any of it but I would hum along to it. When I finally learned english I enjoyed it even more!
the 90s was the last decade the inherent joy of life was openly revealed. it is still here, but you have to cultivate it for yourself. To attain it you have to detach to a large degree from the world because it is so much darker now than it was then.
It really is. I mean, there's a lot of bias from us 90s kids about how much better everything was, and I'll openly admit that. But things have gotten objectively darker these days.
Perspective, guys. Heavy sigh. September 2020 now, and we’re in the midst of a global pandemic. Dark days indeed. Matthew, your statement about “last decade of inherent joy” troubles me because joy is an inside job. I have special memories I associate 90s alternative music with, joyful moments with my late husband, who died on his motorcycle in ‘03. It’s taken me a long time to find joy again, but I did. And I’m living fully in the present! Voltaire said we must cultivate our own garden. In that you are correct. Oh, and I’ll be 60 next year. Rock on 🤘
@@sharonchevalier922 ✌️✌️🙏🙏
Whoaaaaa this is the truest comment. I’ve been trying to put my finger on it. We live in such a dark depressed world. The 90s embraces such a wonderful love of life. What’s happened 😢
Spoiler: Every single generation that has ever lived on this planet feels the exact same way about their childhood.
That said, I'd give just about anything to go back to 1997.
