Lyrics:
She sits alone by a lamp post
Trying to find a thought that's escaped her mind
She says Dad's the one I love the most
But Stipe's not far behind
She never lets me in
Only tell me where's she's been
When she's had too much to drink
I say that I don't care
I just run my hands through her dark hair
Then I pray to God, you gotta help me fly away and just
Let her cry, if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing, if it eases all her pain
Let her go, let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be, let her be
This morning I woke up alone
Found a note standin' by the phone
Saying maybe, maybe I'll be back someday
I wanted to look for you
You walked in, I didn't know just what I should do
So I sat back down and had a beer and felt sorry for myself
Saying...
Let her cry, if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing, if it eases all her pain
Let her go, let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be, oh
Last night I tried to leave
Cried so much, I could not believe
She was the same girl I fell in love with long ago
She went in the back to get high
I sat down on my couch and cried
Yelling, "Oh mama, please help me"
Won't you hold my hand and...
Let her cry, if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing, if it eases all her pain
Let her go, let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be
Let her cry, if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing, if it eases all her pain
Let her go, let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be, oh, let her be

The man at 1:21 was my grandfather. He let them film the video at his shop. He died when I was a baby, but it's nice to see him in motion this video. Even if it's just a little bit, it's more than enough for me.
That's cool, RIP
Rip to your granpa
Thats awesome, really nice
He looks like he was a Kind man. RIP
@@alexeus5735 from what I hear he was for the most part. Mellowed out in his later years.
If I close my eyes listening to this song I can almost taste the Air of a sunny 90's afternoon... Anyone here knows what I mean?
I do, I listened to this, time and hold my hand every single day on mtv
I still have this CD.
It's one of my favorites.
Yeah I can
I can smell it...
Taste it...
Feel it...
Ahh the 90s
Loved the 90's that was my time!!!
yep,just think if u a kid in the 70s n a teen in the 80s ,great songs in the moments always stick with you,just remember no matter bad n good times theres always songs for you to get by n enjoy life one day at a time.
I dont care - this song is 30 years old and to this day is still one of my top 5 go to tunes. Love this song and never gets old.
To me,it's not a sad song,but a beautiful lulibye song...
Extending: for the record I will now officially say that"into dust" is ultimately my favorite song of all time...
Lies again? NASCAR F1 WRC Grab Car
I hear you brother!!👊
This song is an absolute masterpiece.
Agreed.
That mournful but oh so rich voice...
We didn't know how good we had it in the 90's. Help us lord!
I agree this definitely reminds me of the 90s real music with instruments. I miss alternative music.
Stay strong!!
One of the best comments I’ve ever seen on UA-cam.
💯 AGREED
Look at all us 40+ year olds thinking about a better time.
Is anyone here in 2024❤❤
Here in 2024 having a beer and feelin sorry for myself 🤘🏽
Here from Indiana
From Kansas City
Absolutely
Right here!!!🎉 From the Ga.
He thought I was the only one caught in addiction but we both were. He loved this song and told me it was him singing to me. I got sober in 2001 he didn’t and died from a drug overdose in 2017, my heart has never been the same. But this song will always be my husband singing to me🙏❤️🙏 thank you ❤️❤️
I'm proud of you. 🩶
thank you ❤

I'm not Jesus but he has to show me the wounds in his side hands and feet for me to believe. You will see him again . Thomas
The 90s caliber of songwritting be it ballads, rap, r&b, metal, rock, alternative is just a chasm of separation from todays lyrics. The songwriting is just poetic, real, from the heart, and that is why it transcends time and still applies today - and it will still resonate 20 - 50 years from now.
Very true!
I've been listening to this since it first came out. I'm 60 years old. It doesn't matter, the ballads of this time period are still the best IMO. GETS YOU RIGHT IN YOUR FEELS 💜
@@cynthiadaniels5126 you have great taste in music!
Amen
Music as a whole has lost most of what makes music real. I think technology has made a negative impact on it. Also record labels and greed has fucked it all up.
“So I sat back down and had a beer, and felt sorry for myself” is a hell of a line. Such a good band.
Agree a 100%
Nobody these days wants to admit their faults or their mistakes; they fail to realize that a man's imperfections are the most human part of his soul.
@@CorundumDevil Very true, but the woman we are caring about needs to accept this. Some think we are weak because we have faults and own up to them.

If you have ever loved someone with every fiber of your being, yet can’t save them from their own self destruction, then that last verse hits you right in the gut.
This comment along with the song hit me bro
Going through this now…damn I love you baby! Only 20 years old!
That is so true!! GOD BLESS!!
Or you tell that hood rat to kick rocks.. and you start anew... Never will I let that happen to me... I've worked to hard to get my s**t taken from me. Life isn't a yard sale... I like keeping the stuff I bought..
Yes it does I hope she gets the help she needs before it's too late
my dad killed himself 5yrs ago this was his favorite band and song and I am a 37 yr old man Everytime I hear it I have to excuse my self to go cry cuz I miss him
rip pops
he is with u every time u hear this song. he is with you every where!
Marissa I hope so I left the drug game and became a man I hoped he would be proud of
I did 4tours in Iraq in the army airborne division

he killed himself on mother's day so I don't celebrate it anymore
but thanks for kind words
Dan Smith keep your head up man .....don’t really know you but I can only imagine how it feels.......
it's hard but I am running legal companies I haven't been shot in 6yrs since a month after my dad shot himself
I was not a big believer in God and still don't go to church but he saved me you don't life the kinda life I was and not be dead or in prison forever
thanks I try to keep my head up but I can't celebrate mother's day or father's day because of him doing what he did but it makes me want to be the father he wasn't
god bless you all thanks it's hard some days

This song hits hard to me ! After I lost my twin son's and my mom and dad all between 2009 and 2011. I cried for 3 years! And I could not control where I was , the tears would just fall. I could be at the bank or grocery store. This is my favorite song that describes me in that time of my life!!! Tears 😢
How many here could not personally really relate in the 90's but still knew it was a masterpiece.... and now you REALLY get it. This band, this man ❤
❤ I can....
Born in the 60's- 70's , 80's and 90's
Music 🎶🎵 had meaning
Been there done that
Blessed to be alive 😇🙏🕊️🤘😎🥰
Greetings from McAllen Texas 😎🔥!!!!!
Ive loved this band but have never seen them in person hootie tours this year 2024 hope to catch him in Charlotte NC
Could not have said it any better than that. Loved it then and even more so now.
God bless all you like minded individuals listening to this classic. This drinks for yall!!
Joshua Sullivan cheers 🙂
I'll be at the wharf tomorrow night to see them! The band that saved music.
Amen my man
God bless you too brotha. And if the sun comes out tomorrow, we will let her be. AMEN.❤

Me and my dad painted Darius Rucker's home in Charleston SC in 1994.. It was painted yellow with black trim.. And when we were done he walked up after being on the road and told my dad "Nice job!" and signed my dad's tee shirt! I was so blown away all I could do was stare.. Dad said to me Pick up your tongue son he's only like you and me.. ! I still couldn't speak! I still remember it like it was yesterday..
Cool story from a neat old southern city that is worth the visit, down there 20 years ago and hope to make it back sometime!!
That's AWESOME...
Nice! AWESOME memory... Thanks for sharing.
@@garysermersheim703 Charleston has a rich history and is worth visiting,,

@@bridgetanderson2480 Thank you so much.🌹
Lifting Lyn in prayer
@@trinajusticebaker5840 Thank You So Much. Need all The prayers we can get..🌹
...now you've really made me cry😢
I dated someone like her too once. Wild, beautiful, reckless, passionate, creative, kind, but also self-destructive. Those are the ones you never forget. An adventure, a roller coaster of passion and emotions. What an experience to learn from as a young man in order to realize what I actually need.
Just went through something similar as a man in my late 20s, and gosh its definitely something. Hopefully in time I can come to grow from it
Went through that with someone when I was in my early 20's. She didn't want to see what was right in front of her and got into shitty relationship after shitty relationship, turned to drugs to cope, and wound up dead a few years later. I'm in my 40's now, and married, and not a single day goes by where I don't think about what might have happened if I tried a little harder, or had the knowledge I have now back then. Some people just don't want to be saved, and that's the sad reality of it all.
@@jasonleightonDTAI 100% agree with you. I randomly found this song and read this message. I believe your comment is the message I needed to see. Thank you. ❤
Never stick your D in BPD ua-cam.com/video/UF8KlOOSF0s/v-deo.html
My husband asked me why I never let anyone love me. His love wasn't enough
these guys dont get enough credit. One of the best bands of the 90s. Brings back memories :)
Not the best but close enough 😉
I agree
I agree!!
Darius Rucker is just awesome whatever he is singing..
@@territucker7926 Yeah. Plenty of Hootie music I like well enough. Not one of my favorite bands, but they did good stuff. But Darius' voice just flies. Terrific!
Do you guys know Mr Rucker has put out a bunch of solo albums as a country star? I worked with a guy who never heard of hootie and the blowfish but liked Darius Rucker.
"maybe I'll be back someday" I have been listening to this song a lot my dad is dying of cancer and he has been struggling this song will always remind me of my dad I love you dad
Dad passed away dec 7th thinking of u dad
@user-hn1uy9uw2n thank you for your kind words! If you don't already do this introduce your kids to your favorite music so that someday when you are gone they will have something to go back and listen to to remember you by! Even if they don't like the music someday they will appreciate it there is a lot of music I didn't like listening to with my dad that I find comfort in now! He was a huge 90s alternative fan I miss him so much cherish all the time with your kids!
One of the most powerful songs I've heard with one of the best storytellers love this man and this band.
I was a pre-teen/teen during the 90's and couldn't wait to see what the future held. Now that I see how the world and life are, I want the 90's to return. Everything was so much simpler and more peaceful back then.
It was the 80's for me but feel the same."At best, happiness is a fleeting emotion: a sensation to be enjoyed while it is here, however short the visit. Sadness, happiness' ugly twin, has the same fleeting visiting pattern. When sadness visits, we have to endure despite wanting rid of it."
You and me both. I’m 54 and long for the 90’s when life was much simpler.
Now imagine how I fell about the 70s...
@@self_cancelled1776 The 90's were the end of life as I once knew it and the beginning of a 9 to 5 mind numbing career struggle but the music was still good at least the early part of the decade!
@@pasander4371 Ahh the good ole 70's when people would leisurely change their car oil on a sunny Saturday and pour the old oil down the nearest storm drain. "The water will take it away son".
Hootie and the Blowfish, one of the best bands of the 90's IMO.
I have to agree with you on that. The 90s had the best rock music.
Rhino are staling it
Definitely
@@martinkreps9946 And 80's.
@@BrendaLee381 Oh yeah, the 80s had the best rock as well! I agree 100%!
It’s hard if not impossible to compete with a bottle, a pill, a line, a needle … for those of us that were determined to try, we learn that when in love with an addict, we’ll never be number one, and rarely even number two in their lives. I myself became an addict to join the misery instead of letting go.
That was some time ago. Although I’ve healed, I still feel others pain in the core of my heart. Peace to all of you. ❤️✝️
Its 2024 who else thinks this a great song.
Hell yeah!!
Great song in 2024 🎉
A classic
I hear you Brother…
Love this song
I didn’t realize I would have to go through so much more in life before I could appreciate hootie
Man.... what a comment. Felt to the max. I hope we're on the ladder end of it lol
Amen
So true
That gave me chills
You can tell from the songs they wrote, that they must be amazing human beings!
If i could only go back in time and stay it would be the late 90s. Pre-9/11, Pre social media, Pre all the bullshit.
@ Adam Me too!🎶🎵🎶💜💜
My God dude yeah me too. I was in high school at that time without a care in the world other than cars, girls, and having a little spending money from my job. Best times ever.
So so true
My 2 oldest teen sons listened to this all the time and my 4 year old would run all over the house screaming hooooootie
Amen brother it makes me so sad to know it's gone. 5
it's like a close friend or relative died. Gone... Gone......
20 years old …. living out my car … drunk … playing this on repeat and singing it at the top of my lungs. I remember her. I want to tell her it gets better.
no dignity in being a simp
Good luck buddy, things do get better.
It does. It might take a bit of time, but it will. Hang in there mate🙂
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Dude , this is gonna fade . Everything does. Cry it out, just don’t give up cause you were put here to do great things. Even just making a stranger laugh..it echoes through the web of life.
WE NEED YOU !!!! 😘😘✌️✌️✌️
This song reminds me of my kids father. He battled addiction until he passed from it at 30 years old 6 years ago. We were high school sweethearts and was in active addiction then as well. We broke up and got back together many times and he used to tell me he listened to this song when he wasn’t with me and would sing it many times when we were together. Miss him every day, but when I hear this song it takes me back to him.
“So I sat back down, and I had a beer, and felt sorry for myself!!!”....one of the greatest lines ever written
You are so right. And not to separate from your point . . . but for me: "So I sat back down, and I had a beer, and felt" . . . sorry that I didn't have MORE beer (as it was the last one in my 'fridge'). Damn it!
WRITTEN FROM EXPERIENCE!
She got high
Yessss!!!
Me literally right now
26 years later.. Still one of the best songs written.
Damn that long? I was only 9 lol
For sure...
One of the best
Man where does time go !!!!
Can't believe it's been that long ago....damn, I can only reminisce.😥
Always Reminds Me of My Mom in her Addiction. Hootie Sings The Blues like No Other!! 🙏😊💯🌟
28 years on and this still hits!
In 28 years for me to and it still hurts
I sit here reading all your comments and think to myself thank God for the good still left in this world, God Bless you all.
God bless you Jeramy Garcia
God bless you too
God bless you too
God bless you as well. Thank you for such a loving comment
There are certain 90’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.
Another song to remember is "How's it gonna be" from Third Eye Blind.
@@EM-fi2qg Classic. 4 non blondes whats up, spindoctors little miss and 2 princes, blues travelers hook and run around
Yes. I feel this statement. 💛
Ahmed brother.
Certainly that 90s sound. Live, pearl jam come to mind.
I didn’t realize how talented Darius is. He has an amazing voice. Right up there with Steve Perry and Sam Cooke. Love all his misic
I took my daughter to see Hootie and the Blowfish using tickets I won in a radio contest, right before they hit it big. They were playing at a National Guard Armory. 😊 Good memory.
My heart is hurting so badly. I lost my only child September 9. In Loving Memory of Kaylah Nicole aka Kenny. She went to be with Angels & Jesus.

Grew up in the 90s and thought Hootie & the Blowfish were good. The more & more I listen to this band today and actually listen to the lyrics of their songs, you realize they were actually miles above anyone they are compared to. Everything about this song in particular is just perfect. Darius' voice is perfect for the lyrics, the acoustic riffs, the speed of the song, everything is damn near perfect.
I totally agree! I’ve always loved his voice!
100% agree! I was so young listening to them in the late 90s-2000s and now i binge listen to them everyday lately. I even bought a sealed cassette of this album recently 😭🍻

When I was a kid I didn't care for Hootie that much, but with age comes wisdom. Love this band.
Same 😊
I liked them back in the day, but wasn't crazy about them, too. Now that I'm older... Darius Rucker has a voice that can just cut you to your core.
You can say that again
Actually, you're just nostalgic for the 90s because things got so comparatively bad afterwards.
Yep.
I miss the days when I was young thinking nothing of it when I'd hear this song on the radio. Being older and having experienced more this song hits much differently.

@@RealOGMudbone We're not old bro. We're high quality vintage.
@@RealOGMudbone I'm a fan of Classic Rock and some old R&B too. Pink Floyd, Hall & Oates, the Eagles, Seals & Croft, Hendrix, Otis Redding, Al Green, The Supremes. The good tunes. The 90's have a special place in my heart though. Hootie & The Blowfish, Matchbox Twenty, Pearl Jam, Alanis Morissette, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Natalie Imbruglia. The 90's were awesome bro! I definitely took them for granted. '96-'99 were 3 very magical years.
yes i did wish i would of known better
My life long partner of 40 years has battled addiction all our lives. Now, when she has won that battle, she gets hit with Stage 4 cancer. How much can one person withstand? She is the strongest person I know. She keeps fighting everyday. This song brings up so many memories and emotions. I stood by her through addiction and am standing by her now. It has been one hell of a life.
I understand if you are religious or not, but let me pray for you and your family. God's plan, as long as she keeps her feet in the dirt. God Bless, Much love.
Even though I don't know you, I'm with you man. Hoping the best for you guys
Try Jesus, he understands...
I had fought addiction for the last 30 years 14 detox centers 3 over doses. Which one over dose was on the way to Detox. I have been clean going on 30 days now and getting stronger each day. I hope she gets better brother
Way to go, DUDE!!! Both of you hang in there!!! God will take care of your LADY!!! HES an AMAZING God!!! My 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 prayers will be with you and your LADY!!!
Been 15 years, still cant listen to this song without crying. Miss you Ash
My mom passed away 5 years ago on mother's day, and this was one of her favorite songs. I stumbled across it today, and I miss her so much!
Hugs 😭
My mom aswell and. Has passed
I feel your pain.. stay strong.. my mom passed 5 yrs ago..it never gets easier but you learn to cope your loss and know that she is smiling down on you.
I REALLY CAN RELATE MY DADS GONE AND ALWAYS REMEMBER THOSE DAYS WITH HIM LISTEN TO THE SAME SONGS
💜 this song always make me cry....! It reminds me of my sisters broken heart and her dealing with her depression. She in a good place now. I'm sorry for your loss, I lost my dad to drug addiction. 💜💜💜
For anyone who's ever loved someone they couldn't fix, the third verse hits you in the gut every time.
You can't create love. Only embrace it ☺️
Embrace change that is the lesson I walk away with
You can only fix yourself and that; not always. Got to take people at their worth and let them walk out if they wish.
Even more so when that verse is about you...addiction sucks!
For sure.
Praise God that Darius saw that he just needed to LET HER BE.
I,m a addict in recovery and when through the most pain break up and relapse of my life and this song bring tears but a understanding in my life today I just had to let her be
This band saved my fucking life, and that's no God dame joke! This band, this album, this song exploded onto the seen at a time when I was out of fucking steam. I was a confused 14 year old kid stuck in a fucked up family, and no one to turn to. Then, this comes out and I just wanted to fucking cry my eyes out, because I knew that I had something to live for.
Thanks for sharing that
Thank God or whoever for music.
+Elijah Scott thats great that this song helped you.
Shag Me Frida
+Amanda Samos Thumbs Up...GREAT song!
Quarintine gives me a chance to relive my 90's when we would call our friends on land lines , actually knocked on front door to get our friends out to play , blockbuster video was our favorite place to go next to the skating rink on a Friday night. No cell phones , no social media , just raw kid fun. Ahhhhhh, those were the days. Only wish I could relive them.
I often think of my childhood as well. Skating on a Friday night. Pizza and movies all weekend. Memories ill forever cherish.
I been trying learn all those 90s songs on my guitar over the lockdown this was the first one.
Truly
The only comment I’ve ever read on UA-cam that has changed my mood all I wanna do now is go back
Yes Edward I was a teen in the 90's born in 79' takes me back!!
Rest in peace mom's love you with all my heart and soul and you will always be remembered of the great times we shared and I'm glad to be blessed to have you in my life the whole times. I love you and miss you 😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤12/15/1958-09/30/2023 she's passed away in my arms from her second stroke and please everyone out there pray for me my mom's was my best friend and damn can that woman make some of the most beautiful crochet blankets you ever seen.
Lisa I can't help but think of you when I hear this. Know you are as beautiful as this song. You deserve peace and love. Don't let yourself or others make you feel it's wrong. I miss you in my life.
Lost my love to an overdose. We fought for years over her drug use. The demons finally won. I will never forget her. I will never stop crying.
I am sorry for your loss Mr Schiller. I am glad that at least she had you to the end. Too many people give up on others to quick. I wish you peace sir. I hope you always feel the warmth of her love especially when you need to feel it thru your walk in this life. God Bless
So sorry prayers!! I feel your pain!! Didn’t lose any of my family dued to drugs so close !!! Thanks for sharing your story!!be strong 💪 god bless you!!!
Same here! After 12 years it gets better
Stay strong, brother... I can't say that I know how you feel in this particular situation. Not many can. But I pray for you to find peace and happiness in your life.
You are not alone, it's been 10 years. I couldn't save the woman of my life ,alcohol was drug of choice. I still cry when I hear this song.
Saw them in Glasgow over 20 years ago, will never forget it, they wouldn’t stop, we wouldn’t let them, they played over time nearly an hour, my favourite band EVER !!
♥️
That must have been an awesome concert!
You are lucky
I saw them at The Manchester Apollo in 1998, they absolutely blew my hair back...probably the same tour you saw them on...
Hi I recommend checking out an indie song called 'The Bond Villain' By Robert Nix
#HootieAndTheBlowfish #90sMusic ..still loving this in the new year 2024 with the awesome old school music power of classic MTV.. anyone else?
I was born in '89... my Dad LOVED this song... and so do i... "dads the one i loved the MOST" ... he died in '96 but i could NEVER forget him BLASTIN this, singing along with it... i assume it reminded him of my mom, she kinda crushed him... but thankful for the memory anyway
NoVa89 great song.gets to your soul.let her cry if it eases all her pain.
May he RIP god bless you and your family
I remember back in the 90s I used to get sick of their songs because I felt like they were "overplayed" compared to other songs I liked better...man I was taking them for granted! Give me these guys a million times over the kind of shit that's on the radio now. Time, why you punish me...
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
+boudicca storm i love your name sake, she was a true ass kicker. i think it was pretty shitty what Paulinus did to her after Prasutagus died, i just wish she had gotten to kill him.
I was lucky to know a good thing when I heard it...bought this CD and played the hell out of it. Now when I hear these songs again I get head to toe goose bumps! I loved the 80's but this song makes me miss a special part of the 90's.
+boudicca storm so true! so many bands like that now that I look back...Creed; Nickelback....
+boudicca storm the recorded sound of a chorus of farts is better than most the crap on the radio today
This song helped me get over my last breakup. Staring at the waves in the Gulf typing this and reflecting on the lyrics, when a relationship ends and it’s due to the right person wrong time. These lyrics help put things in perspective when every breath is harder to take than the last.
70’s-early 2000’s was real music and had meaning. Miss bands like Hooti and Mtchbox 20, Candlebox and the verve (can’t remember if it was them or pipe that sang the Freshman). Bob Segar, Lynyrd Skynyrd , Guns and Roses and even a lot of great country music at that time that I never listened to but as I got older I be learned to appreciate. Johnny Cadhes ‘ version of Hurt has claimed the same for himself. Even NIN lead singer Admits that.
Darius is now a solo country singer as well. Check out his country music too!
God, this song is still so perfect. I miss these days so bad.
me to
Such great music! I miss it too :(
why dont you bring them back??
Tear just fell down my face, what happened...? Times used to be so much better!
Still crying to this song in 2023 🥰 80/90s era was the best and so very nostalgic if your in your mid 30s,40s❤️❤️
I turn 35 tomorrow
I’m 36, same. Smart phones changed society for the worse
@@86joncooper opinions, very. But one thing is agreed. The 80's& 90's were special
Takes me way way back to when life had no worries and everyday was perfect looking back at it all now not giving a shit just riding around all night bull shitting having a blast
Its beautiful
I remember when I was 3 my parents would get in abusive fights and my Dad would sit and listen to this on repeat I understand this more now 20 years later
This song makes me feel things I can’t describe.
me to but if the sun comes up its all good .
I know the feeling I been there before and be where he is singing about just got out of prison and listen to this song alot
Oh sweet summer child, give it time. Life will force you to feel this pain as we all inevitably do.
I really appreciate all your lovely support and encouragement towards my work. I’m very grateful and thankful to have you as a supportive fan that cares so much❤️😘😍✅💕🙏
💯💯 That says it all for me❣️❣️ He has an amazing voice, feel like he was sending me a message ❣️😢😢😢
This is probably one of the most powerful, emotional songs of the era. The lyrics sometimes brings me to tears. I have always been that guy that would run over 10 good girls to get to that rotten one and I have suffered in the process. Love this song
I feel the same and have done the same. Your comment reminds me of a saying I once heard: "Never ignore a person that loves and cares for you, because one day you may realize that you've lost the moon while chasing the stars".
Amen, brother AJ. Amen.
It’s not just the lyrics in my opinion, but also the way he sings them. So much feeling in his voice!
Properly 70s and 80,s
Yeah. Me too.
I know he never specifically wanted this, but damn I'm thankful this band existed. This kinda music made my childhood perfect!
He has the most beautiful, soulful voice.! ❤
Holler if you were a teen in the 90’s. Best era of music.
Wish I was a teen in the 90's. Instead I was born in 95. So I got to experience a tad bit of it
Tony Hardy was born in 75. Yes I was a teen in the 90's it was great.
Sorry best era was 70's-80's
I wasnt a teen in the 90's but was raised with this kind of music.. 😱😯☺😊 thee best ever :)
1975 and I miss the 90s every day !!
Beautiful song. My mom and sister lost their battle with addiction. God knows I’m not the same without them. This song makes them feel alive again for a moment.
Amen......
My brother died May 14, 2021 of stage four pancreatic cancer. It was brought on by his daily drug use...☹️
@@nathanieldaiken1064 my brother was killed by a drunk driver Aug 21.2012 7 days from his 24Th bday. Still haunts me to this day
Thank you for sharing. I'm very sorry for your loss.
♥️♥️♥️
I always find myself hunting down comfort songs from the 90s when I was a teenager. Be it happy or sad memories I miss that time period so much
I'm johny I'm 54 and still listen to this song it brings back old memories 😮
after my daughter died this was the story of my life for 2 years I just drank like him and today I'm sober 5 years but this song is still my life
Sorry for your loss kiddo
+Rbrenn Brennn thank you
so sorry for your loss.
God Bless You Carrie. I can't imagine what you have been thru, but one thing I do know is (being that I had been in the program & had 8 years of sobriety & those were the absolute best 8 years of my life), that when you're sober & get to know who you really are & your potential. But, I think the best thing I took from my journey is I now have a spiritual relationship with my God, something I always wanted but could never find. I am sending prayers your way. Just pray & stay sober. God Bless You.
Thank you all for the support and love it really means a lot to me it was the hardest thing I have ever gone threw I don't wish on anyone but for a while I really thought I was dealing with it it was not till I got sober I realized I never felt with it I covered it up
I've said this, and I will continue to say it; the 80's and the 90's were the Golden Age of music. For they truly had passion, meaning, and emotion like no other.
i am with you on that . time is cruel and so is this NOT music crap . i never thought i would say Adam Levine is great . he is the closest to rock we have . watch his " purple rain " tribute with Trains lead singer . Adam can rip a guitar apart . trust me . btw , long live the 80's .
No. Just.... no.
@@lyricmannixon1793 love this song Hottie so much emotion in it and it hits home love you guys 😘
50’s 60’s and 70’s: are we a joke to you?
@@linkgroundwalker I'm 43 I was just about to say that's the same thing people were saying g back then
When i was little. I remember how all i wanted was my mom when i was sick. Im 42 now. I still get that same feeling but it hurts even more because i know ill never have that. Shes still alive but i had to cut her off a few years ago. When someone leaves you alone in icu you kinda lose any love left. I wish i still didnt have those lingering longings but i know i hurt much less without her around.
Lost my better half to terminal cancer while on home with hospice. MAN THIS SPEAKS TO ME
Jesus this song for us 90’s kids. Hits us hard when I hear this now. No I’m not crying. I am sobbing!
One of the most underrated songs ever
Nothing underrated about it
Let Her Cry
Hootie & The Blowfish
Peaked at #9 on 7.8.1995
35 weeks on billboard hot100
Not bad at all
@@agentbong138 ...you just proved Nathan F point. Should have been number 1 for a few weeks. Therefore, it was underrated!
All the other crap you hear at number 1 and this song never got higher than 9...I called that underrated! lol
Steven one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard and one of the best ever IMO. I don’t say that lightly. Extremely underrated.
This is not underrated, very famous in the 90’s. Every band in my country famous or not, they’re always playing this song.
Excellent music. Sad story. I love it even in 2024.
Still here in 2024!!❤
I got to meet Darius Rucker! 😉 He is a super chill guy.. The whole band was cool af!! 💯❤ #LoveIt
I wish we could take our kids and bring them back with us to these simpler times. Oh how I miss the 90s.
E A I do not miss the 90s. That's when I had to become a responsible adult, raise children, have a career or job. It was a very stressful time. I often took comfort in MY music--the 60s-70s.
@@jschuler53 I was still a kid in the 90s, so these were my similar less stressful times. We played outside until the porch lights came on. We played flashlight tag, we went to blockbuster to rent VHS tapes, and we met up at skating rinks on the weekends.
@@EAHorror Things are usually more nostalgic when you are a kid or don't have a lot of stressful responsibilities.
@@jschuler53 yes they are!
My oldest was born in 1990... I love that my girls were raised with awesome music 🎶 and we can still listen, and go to a better place with the lyrics together!
I was living in a family shelter with my mom when this album came out, one of the other moms let us borrow the cassette and I would just sit in our room listening to this on our little boom box.
Proud of you for making your way. Stay strong. You're loved.
Awesome ❤❤❤.
That's around the same time I lived in a homeless shelter, it was called the springs in Ybor city florida.
❤❤❤❤ Hopefully things are better for both of you now.... 🙏❤❤
Ive been in Jericho family shelter and Pasco Women's... just saying ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Still listening in 2023. A masterpiece. Best song of the 90s.
I love you brother thanks 🙏🙏 for doing time for something u didn't do God is good
Hootie & Blowfish were nothing short of amazing back then. Thanks for the good music& lovely memories. Thanks
Hootie and the Blowfish....so beautiful! His voice just sinks right into your chest and unlocks all this emotion. Truly a thing of beauty, will never lose its power.
You've nailed it, Brittney. Right in the chest.
Oops. That's my wife's account. This is her husband's comment.
September
Brittney's not interested.
paula emberley whos account
I have heard this song numerous times. I never listened to it until the other day. It is spooky how it fits my life.
Let there be change to the ones that need it God thee knows the details, AMEN.
When it slows down and that guitar solo comes in while he kills it vocally? Is.absolutly.amazing. even today sends chills!
I agree! What talent!
I got chills reading your comment 💖
Why don’t they make music like this anymore?
@@jeninepalladino I know, right?
exactly!!!!!
when you're living in the 90s and the Blowfish are just living along with you as background music at a bar or a party or wherever or even just playing it in your car, you don't realize until 20 years later just how much it was a part of your life. Rucker's voice is timeless.
Darrius is a beast💪
Y'all alright with me! Don't let the drugs take you down. We all got your back! Much love.
Man I was in the 3 rd r 4th grade when this came out… You don’t really understand the lyrics back then, But as you grow up and mature it hits a lot different.
Who is also here in january 2021? One of my all time favorites, sweet music 🎶💖😍 which can never feel or get old only us. When we pass on I hope the younger generation will appreciate it as we do
Yes! I played for my 6 year old in the car the other day. I always try to share good music with her.
January 2021!!
Amen!!!
@@elizabethtemprovich7612 this is a good thing that you are doing I have three girls and they actually like some of these music even though they have never heard them before. God 🙏 bless you and your family
@@yogibehr3003 👍
Shout out to all the people drinking alone to this song
yep!🍻
yep...
You callin' me out, bud? lol
I do every time
Kevin Petre yup
I am a shaman and i can honestly say that this woman Darius so dearly loves was also and with these lyrics, he has given me hope that one day someone wont leave as i cry. I love LET HER "BE"!!
GOD BLESS DARIUS EVERY MOMENT OF HIS EXISTENCE. AINT MANY MEN LIKE U.
NAMASTE~
