Lyrics:
Breathing from a hole in my lung
I had no one
But faces in front of me
Racing through the void in my head
To find traces
Of a good luck academy
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
Sparks ignite and trade them for thought
About no one
And nothing in particular
Washed the sickened socket and drove
Resent nothing
There's good will inside of me
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
Wake me up lower the fever
Walking in a straight line
Set me on fire in the evening
Everything will be fine
Waking up strong in the morning
Walking in a straight line
Lately I'm a desperate believer
But walking in a straight line
Something I will never forget
I felt desperate
And stuck to the marrow
Invisible to everyone else
I'm a sex change
And a damsel with no heroine
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
Wake me up lower the fever
Walking in a straight line
Set me on fire in the evening
Everything will be fine
Waking up strong in the morning
Walking in a straight line
Lately I'm a desperate believer
But walking in a straight line
I don't need no time to say
There's no changing yesterday
If we keep talking and
I keep walking in straight lines
Wake me up lower the fever
Walking in a straight line
Set me on fire in the evening
Everything will be fine
Waking up strong in the morning
Walking in a straight line
Lately I'm a desperate believer
But walking in a straight line
Music video by Silverchair performing Straight Lines. (C) 2007 EMI Music Australia Pty Limited
This song was a bitter pill to swallow when it came out. It takes years to fully appreciate this songs complexity. Daniel Johns has to be one of Australia's greatest songwriters.
Totally! I was too immature to appreciate the genius behind this song and the album when it came out. I think I was 17.
When you're young, you wear your music like fashion. You make it a part of your identity. And are militant to defend it. And, well, heaven forbid an artist introduces you to something unexpected!
Luckily, for some of us, musical taste matures, we explore and wander. Broadening our depth. Allowing ourselves to be surprised and delighted by new musical experiences.
It's only then, that you reach musical nirvana. Amen!
I was 20 when they came outta nowhere & blew up so massively. Liked em but wasnt as swept up as many others were. This song, however many years later really grabbed me. They now sounded like a band that found their own groove. Brilliant!
This is clearly a well done song -- it's drastically different from some of my favorites from Silverchair however I can see how people can really like this number. It's not really for me but I feel some of the magic Daniel Johns was referring to when he plays with his band. He's being true to himself and I certainly can't fault him for that! I think that's all we could ever ask of the artists we patronize.
He is one of the WORLD'S greatest songwriters :)

A must hear!!!!!!!!!
I have literally been trying to find this damned song for nearly 10 years. It played once on either MTV2 or Fuse I believe one day when I was skipping class back in high school and I didn't write their name down in time. Every time I'd try and explain the uplifting tempo of the song, the look of the frontman, or the setting & movement of the video, people would always tell me in a matter-of-fact fashion that I was looking for the song "Fix You" by Coldplay. No matter which of my musician friends I asked or which forum I submitted a query to, everyone always gave me that same song & band as an answer, and I would always tell them they were dead wrong. I even went as far as finding & scouring archived program schedules for MTV2 & Fuse from 2005 to 2009 trying to find ANY picture or name that would point me in the right direction, but to no avail. Flash forward to today, where I'm doing music curation for the music platform I work for VIBBIDI, and in the suggested videos for Swervedriver I see the cover-image of this video. I haven't felt this accomplished in years, and I'm ecstatic that this song still sounds good to me so many years later.
Congrats man
I know exactly what you mean. I tried to explain a Muse song (didnt know the band) maybe year 2000 to real muso head friends, no one got me, then we all got to see Muse in around 2005 and I was like - there you go! This is who I was talking about! Muse wouldnt be one of my favourites but it was just one song stuck in a moment, stuck in my head! Glad you found it. It's a profound song and he literally means "walking in a straight line" after being debilitated by reactive arthritis and on a wheelchair!
This song sucks
@@haroldkumar5900 your point? 🤷🏽♂️
@@haroldkumar5900 my wife sucks too. I LOVE her for it.
Released a month after I emigrated to Australia. I will always associate it with optimism, new starts and with finding a reconciliation with one’s past.
One of my favourite Australian songs.
Are you still down under mate?
Love that anecdote. Like a warm welcome to Oz from Silverchair.
My husband absolutely loves Silverchair and this is one of his favourite songs. God bless him, my husband, Robbie he was the man of my life, the man of my love. He was everything to me and this song brings back so many memories for me.❤❤❤
Blessings to you. I loved these guys 15yrs olds amazing talent. I was 24yrs old at the time.
Another death bait…
to you because you notice patterns? yes ofc, but to them it is a very real expression and doesnt deserve any less sympathy@@kallekas8551
This song is one of the best Australian songs ever written. The chord progression through the chorus is fantastic. Daniel is very creative.
Love those 7ths
It’s just sooo good, a brilliant song and great melody
Come on people, this is a song of triumph and beating addiction, I think its beautiful.
He's a desperate believer.
Not sure he's beating addiction, but he's desperate to.
AWOMAN SISTER!
No one cares
I have truly beaten my addiction... for now.
If I ever go back to drugs, I'm going to commit suicide - accidentally.
I just love drugs too much.
I need a gram a day, every day.
I don't know how I managed to survive.....
Did it with a straight guy?
Such a truly incredible song that surprisingly doesn't get the attention and airplay it deserves. I remember listening to this over and over when it first came out and have recently rediscovered it and find I appreciate it even more.
Being a Novacasttian I was always wanting to are late to a fellow Novacasttian, however I am also a psychic medium and I have nowhere to go to get info on what u do when it hits me at 2pm
They spent their whole career trying to prove they werent a Flash in the Pan, and only proved they were
This song needs to get back into rotation everywhere!
@@worsethanhitlerpt.253919 years together from 92 to 2011 is NOT a flash ín the pan. Then Dan went solo because he was the only one writing and singing to make silverchair the incredible group they were. Awards galore , millions of albums sold. Daniel still síngíng and writíng.
Om walking in a straight line love the the band still taking care of my family.
Whether you enjoy the music or not, Silverchair is a great example of progression as a musical group.
Hi I recommend a song Called 'the Bond villain' by Robert Nix
I agree, and the progression stoped in Diorama
@@thi7417nope
Nah this is pop rock they lost their edge. Theres nothing here that resembles who they were. You don't need to make the same album twice but dam did they change not evolve lol
This song sucks
Anyone here from the podcast? If y'all haven't checked it out it's a must watch 👌. Daniel Johns will live and die as one of the greatest musicians to have ever lived ❤.
This song was in my dads playlist and I found out about it I think from a trip after dream-world in the late 2000s and this played on the car radio and dad would sing it
Rip dad... he died in 2014 at age 39 and I was only 11 ❤️🩹❤️🔥
Sorry buddy
Such a young age to pass away at. Sorry for your loss mate and I hope you’re doing well. Your dads proud of you
That's rough man, good memories, at least :)
So young..For both of you…RIP to your Dad
😭💔
What an underrated, powerful, important, and beautiful song.

You have no idea how much this song has helped me. ❤️
This song is about a hangover...
Raging Semen well thats when I always listen to it haha. Didn’t know it was actually about that
You do realise they can see decades into the future and replicate your emotions and inject into your present tense
2007 was such a banger year for Australian music. Every nominee for album of the year at the Arias (including Young Modern, which won) was quality.
Went down a rabbit hole, and came across this song again. I remember thinking it wasn't very good when it first came out. Listening to it now, through a modern lense, it's clear now that this song was simply ahead of its time ...
Everyone says that a out every artist. "They were ahead if their time"
This song needs to be played on radio stations now
No, not really.
I have always loved this song ever since it came out in 07. I grew up loving this song since I was 6 it was my favourite and still is one of my favourites even today. Such a wonderful song. Was one of the few songs I needed to always have on my MP3 player
Same boat! Disliked it so much but love it now
I always listen to this song in my darkest times. It gives me hope, even if only for those four minutes. It's such a great release for me. Powerful.
This song was 100% ahead of its time. I remember this on the radio when it first came out and it didn't hit well at all. At least 8 years later i love this song.
This is one of my favourite songs, helped me get through the day my mum died. Everything will be fine... waking up strong in the morning, walking in a straight line, lately I'm a desperate believer...
I hope you are ok. RIP your mum
: )
Hell you know how to make a man shed a tear here. It's probably a number of years on now since your mum passed and I hope time has helped you deal with that kind of loss. I'm sure your mum isn't far away from you.
Who cares
Same story for me.
Daniel, the singer had a life and death experience, he felt differently after, therefore he wrote differently, expressed himself differently. Artists morph and change. I guess because I was warned it was VERY different than previous sounds I was open, and I dig it. I think this guy has a ridiculous amount of talent, he has had $ thrown his was to do s**t but never sold out, never listened to anyone telling him shit about HIS music. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Daniel!
Me too
Daniel, has an addiction! Now he's walking straight lines!
Yeah me too ! Who are we talking about again?

A must hear!!!!!!!!!
right on Dilly-Dolly. Music from someones soul - you can't beat it.
I remember not liking this song when it first came out. It stuck in my head til I realized the true brilliance of it. It evokes such raw emotion in me. This entire album is so very underrated.
Anyone listening in March 2024.. 💕 from Australia 🦘
Yes. It's very special. Once heard never forgotten. So beautiful. And a great comfort.
Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺
me in 2024 im 63 and still love them
Revisiting my childhood ,, songs my folks were always playing❤️damn us Aussie’s have pumped out some great songs❤️🇦🇺❤️
Of course
Having been a survivor of multiple surgeries and treatments to get rid of this cancer, I always turn to this song because it reminds me of what I went through and feeling like I had no one except a team of medical professionals and that was it. I didn’t have friends or family come visit me in the hospital no cards to get well I realized I was alone in this world, but I wasn’t totally alone because someone could relate to what I was feeling and that was the person that wrote this song?
I’m sorry, Illness and pain can be so lonely.
'If you knew Who walks beside you on the path you have chosen, fear would be impossible. A Course in Miracles.
spent a year in hospital in 2023 know exactly how it is bro.
This song is so good. Been on these guys since high school. I’m 42. Glad he & I are aging well.
we're the same age...glad that we are still listening to their music up till now and he still looked great
I remember going crazy for this song when it was released. It felt like a new beginning, no one knew it was the end. I visited Australia for the first time in 2009 and I had to visit that train station. Still enjoy this record a lot. Love from Chile.
What station?
@@simone1351 possibly one of the Sydney Airport link stations, Green Square before it started to get used a lot by locals or prior to it even opening (I've lived 1 min walk from there for 30 years well before it was even in use (if it is not GS possibly Mascot), I only came across this video yesterday and it was the first thing I thought was WOW looks like they filmed at GS. I could be way off too , but it does look extremely similar. Another one could be Olympic Park station
@@simone1351 Olympic Park station, that's the one where "Straight Lines" was shot more than 15 years ago.
"Waking up strong in the morning"
If you know alcoholism and passing out just to wake up still drunk and stumbling as a normal routine. That lyric hits hard when you overcome addiction.
I feel you brother! I'm still slipping sometimes, but waking up strong in the morning is the best feeling ever!
I'm actually in that routine right now - 4am and just woke up from being hammered again last night. I can actually feel my kidneys hurting
lolololol
@@morgancatherwood5665 sweet.Its an awesome feeling.wait until your Liver starts hurting/throbbing even worse.Its an by amazing feeling.Truly Beautiful
@@morgancatherwood5665 stay strong and keep on Getting plastered.Gotta Smoke some Meth.preferabally outta a Bong. good.positive. vibe
A lot of people saying they didn't appreciate this song until later in life, for myself, I knew it was a fkn good song
This song raised my soul
Musically, this song is brilliant beneath the cheese. Johns is a genius at subverting expectation and has a campy sense of humour that I don't think enough people appreciate. Kudos to the man for continually evolving as a musical thinker and conduit.
Trinket Trance fuck yes mate you get it
i imagine being the exact same thing you were from 16 - 30something gets tiring. hes just doing him
Evolving lol! Guys been coached with silverchair to ride the bandwagon following nirvana, but after that died, there's obviously only interesting looks left. Because "brilliant"? Dude, not so much.

A must hear!!!!!!!!!
He's a great talent.
I'm an Aussie and my ex is an American. I'd played her a bunch of old Aussie standards, bands like Cold Chisel, Icehouse, Midnight Oil, The Models, really good stuff. She was a bit underwhelmed though she loved John Farnham's _You're The Voice._
She asked me to play her what I thought was a truly great song from an Australian band.
So, yeah, I played her this.
I explained it was a song about kicking an addiction. She was quickly attentive and almost stunned. She got goosebumps all over when the guitars finally came in. Then she was dancing and laughing. It made a tremendous and lasting impression on her. Straight Lines has a raw power and warm energy that's accessible to anyone at all who's ever faced addiction, hardship, grief, loss or emotional pain. It's beautifully healing and wonderful, it speaks of hope and love and speaks straight to the heart.
Masterful composition. Flawless musicianship. Timeless brilliance.
This is next level
Thank you Daniel and Silverchair. My soul loves this energy
How are you doing? Hope you are fine and staying safe out there?
2023-08-23, more or less at 10:00 PM, is the day i finally found this song again, after 16 years of only able to keep wondering of what i was just listened that day, why i can't forget it, why it keep staying in my mind, why i always feel that i need and must find this song again, and why i never hear this song being played anywhere and everywhere i go.
I only get ONE chance to listen to this song before. it was in 2007 on MTV Channel. Watched it at noon and i don't have any idea about this Band at the time but i still remember the MTV's host explained something about this band before they played the music.
She said that this Band just released a new album but with different genre/flavour than they usually do and also with some controversy around it. Then the song start playing, and i instantly hooked by the music instrument, the vocal and how he sing it, especially at reff, i can feel the energy of the song, it sound strange at first, but then it become so emotional!
Then in the middle of the song, the name of the Band and song title appeared at the bottom of my 17inch TV screen, i sit far from it, so i get up and run fast to my TV to be able to read it clearer, but as soon as i stand in front of it, it suddenly disappeared and i missed the chance to read...
Since then, everytime i watched MTV channel, i'm always hoping for the channel to play this song again, but sadly it never appeared again...
I heard it only once but i can remember the reff melody until now, i can whistle it but didn't know the lyric even just single words, my english still very poor at that time i can't catch it and there's no lyric displayed.
I ask my friends about it & i'm whistling awkwardly like an idi*t to give them some clue but they just laughed and can only mentioned Coldplay or Good Charlotte, yes that "i just wanna live" reff is a lil bit similar by the way it sound. And the most stupid thing i did is whistling at Shazam hoping that it will recognize the song 😥👍
In 2015 it come close, when i'm explored Carpark North songs (i already know them since 2006, but only know "Human" song back then).
In their 'Grateful' album, i got some flashes of it when i listened to their 'Save Me From My Self", a song in which i really liked, and it do sound a bit familiar too tbh, the energy it have.
After that, i still trying to find this song again and again sometimes, listening to other 2000s band but still unlucky.
Yesterday, at night, i was in a very good mood to start exploring some of 2000's Rock music compilation album/playlist again, Silverchair was also there in the playlist. I listened to their "Tomorrow" song, even tho i didn't feel there's any hints of it or any similarities in the melody of the song, but it's the video clips that makes me so intrigued to explore their other songs somehow, it do feels so familiar in my memory, it feels like i ever seen it before!
So i search their other songs on UA-cam, listen to the second song "Ana's Song", i feel relax, but i do really, really feel something surprising will come, then the third songs start playing........ i'm in total silence.. speechless, what a pleasant surprise where i finally able to hear that rhythm again, that voice, that reff, that unique melody, i almost can't believe of what i just heard.. teardrops.
I'm so sorry for this long text and i'm very thankful if you read it, i just wanna share my little pure happiness. This is the song that i really, really want to hear and enjoy again!
16 years has passed since the first time that was also the only chance i get to listen to this song that never appear again, that somehow it always stay in my mind, my memory & never disappeared.
Now i found it again, i keep it forever.
"Straight lines" was already my Fav song, along with "Macy's Day Parade" from Green Day. The different is, now i can listen to it anytime 😇
I thank you so much for this music from the bottom of my heart, Silverchair.
I first listened to this so beautiful Pop song when I was living in Puerto Rico, United States, in a local radio called Alfa Rock. I loved it, I still do because I am an alumnus of a Good Luck Academy: nobody is luckier than me to get back on my feet after I fall!
I’m 43. I remember this. But, I never appreciated it. Where the hell was my mind!? This is bloody brilliant.
Not sure this ever got the recognition it deserved. As others have said, I think this was way ahead of its time
This song reminds me of the Load era of Metallica. I also made the same mistake as you but for me it was with Metallica. Load and Reload are great albums and have apologized for not liking them when they came out. I was wrong. not many people do this, but I don't mind. I love this song Straight Lines. Not sure about the album as a whole though? I never got into Silverchair but listened to this Young Modern album at least once.
He was beautiful. He spoke publicly about his eating disorder. The world eats beautiful people like him.
To me this song is my hidden treasure, reminding me of the most happiest moment in my life.
People wanted him to keep being sad. He was finally happy and celebrating it. People cant handle that sometimes.
I'm now 43, too.
This is a classic yet to be recognised.
Instantly appealing but never gets old, that's a rare combination. When he played this back in the studio, he probably thought
"Man, I'm never going to top this😢"
This song has been stuck in my head for years but I couldn't put my finger on who it was. One day I was listening to some grunge and post grunge stuff and Freak came on, then on the side a video talking about the history of the band came up. Talking about how their sound changed when they got older, so I decided to check some out to see just how different they got. Clicked on this song and those beginning notes played, it triggered something. This is that song that's been stuck in my head for all those years, I've heard this song long before their early stuff. I'm so glad I found this and now I can experience the full range of Silverchair
Hi I Recommend a Song called 'The bond villain' By Robert Nix
LOVED these guys in the 90's and they're so good live. Never gets old x
Been listening to this song this week! I remember when it came out, I thought it was too "contemporary" for my teenage soul at the time. Now 32, wow I love it. Thank you Daniel, thank you Silverchair.
I didn't appreciate this song when Silverchair released it as I'm more of a heavy music guy. Listening to it years later this song is brilliant! These guys are diverse musicians.
Hi I Recommend a Song called 'The bond villain' By Robert Nix
Frogstomp - Teen Angst
Freak Show - Anger
Neon Ballroom - Depression
Diorama - Hope
Young Modern - Happiness
While I don't appreciate Young Modern musically, I appreciate it's message. I'm so happy Daniel managed to find happiness and get out of a dark place.
Aidan - i enjoy them all....the transition from angst to happiness is life happening to Daniel John.
Who really knows where he is?
I think they've said Frogstop was naivety and Diorama was discovery

silverchair became unrelatable for me when they turned happy
Song seriously saved my life. Silverchair are--and I mean currently--one of the best, most proficient, and utterly inspiring rock bands to have graced the stage. Thank you Chris, Daniel, and Ben.
Absolutely. Their music got me through some tough times.
Me too
I love this song. It gives so much positivity and that is what’s needed right now. Much love Silverchair. We all still miss you
I was backpacking around Oz in 2006 and this song stands out among the memories.
same for me i was on holiday in the gold coast in 07 and this song brings back memories.
+33hegemon Remember a commercial in '08 when I was 10
+33hegemon It was released on 20 March 2007
+33hegemon The kind you should repress, or?
LOL low blow
No words can explain. This is all emotion.
Absolutely amazing song.
The power of music.
Nuff said.
I was abused during pregnancy. Physically emotionally. This song came out. For some reason it carried me thru.
What happened to you was horrible. I'm glad you survived it! I hope things are good now and you're surrounded by people who love and respect you.
Daniel's unbelievably beautiful and so is his voice. OMG
I can appreciate this song 100%! Sobriety is hard to achieve. Hats off to Silverchair!!
I know this is a few years old, but it makes me so happy to see him doing so well here, and the lyrics are perfect if you understand the struggles he went through growing up. The fact that he’s even still alive is amazing. He’s overcome so much, I just hope he continues existing on this earth, and existing happily. ❤️ #danielforever
He's not unique - we've all been through struggles and we all have to overcome so much, its called life
@@luckyphilism everyone is unique fool
Walking in divine time
That angry kid turned into this sweet beautiful man, there is hope in life. I love Silver chair in all its stages!!! Look at him dancing at 2:46 XD
like Hugh Grant in Love Actually...
you call that a man?
I mean, yeah. He is a man... wtf.

i saw this on rage once at 4am when i was about 5-6 years old. im 20 years old now and im STILL obsessed with it to this day
i could never understand all the hatred. sure, a lot of people say they were young when it came out, and that's why they couldn't grasp it, or that it was too far removed from their heavier stuff. so many people are so narrow-minded. it's too bad because they're missing out on some exceptionally amazing music.
when i heard this song (and album) for the first time, i thought, this is our generations st peppers, and instantly loved it. there will never be another concept album like young modern, and to this day, it remains one of my faves and go to.
The chore progression in the chorus was what made made me look for the title of this song. It’s a beautiful song indeed.
I agree…Ive been a silverchair fan since their
First album .. regardless, me being a musician, that chorus always intrigued me..
Just sat down on the piano and figured it out.. pretty cool..😎 indeed a magical
Tune
I loved it the first time I heard it, Silverchair, Australian beauty always
Brilliant just brilliant
Don't care what anyone says, this song SLAPS!
Hi I Recommend a Song called 'The bond villain' By Robert Nix
Whether I was a kid in the 90’s or a fully grown adult, Daniel has been and always will be one of the most beautiful men ever. I don’t mean just looks, his mind and his strength still leave me in awe
I'm 37 and have had a crush on this man since i was 13. Fully grown adult, i still love this man. His eyes.. jus..uhg... like i can feel an egg drop every time i jus stare at him 🤣... Seriously though.. He's faught a lot of demonds since he was young. I'm am very sure being vegan, gay, and being in the music industry so young put some challenges in his way..
Hes not gay!
You dont have to be gay to admire him!
I was always a huge Silverchair fan in high school, especially because I was a male struggling with anorexia. When this song came out in my 20s, I finally let someone love me and I’ll never forget how that felt. It’s the first time I felt like I was doing something positive and healthy, and this song just resonates that same vibe. This band saved my life in a way.
Upvoted for sheer awesomeness.
THOUGHT I WAS A STRAIGHT GUYYY
Ah, Silverchair. Thank you for existing.
That's that Grumps comment I was looking for
This song brings back memories from when it first came out. When I first heard it on the radio I was driving south from Long Beach on the 405 to HB. My friend lived in HB and we were great buddies, never a bad day hanging with him. He loved my old band from way back, I've since moved on and the players have changed over the years but we are reforming to the version he loved the best for his celebration of life, he suddenly passed away a month ago. He loved music, playing guitar and sipping some Tequila. This song will always remind me of one of my best friends.......RIP Carl
Seems like just yesterday this album dropped. Almost 20 years ago now. Played the CD so much in my car. Love this song ❤
Ah, Silverchair. Thank you for existing.

@@sunlightofspirt you're definition of growing isn't the same as everyone's. Personally, I do not consider young modern an example of growth. Change and growing are not codependent. You can change and not grow. You can also grow without changing who you are
No one cares what you consider.. This song rocks and if you don't like it go listen to something else :D
To see light we must have darkness. Never stop singing, it soothes so many souls including your own. Music is the most amazing therapy and has helped me through my darkest days. Aroha x
Well said.
I think they all. Are wonderful talented people 😊
This song is an absolute masterpiece
OMG I watched this when I was high. Here are my thoughts... As I grew older I lost consciousness of the beautiful things that connect me to this world. My mind is a mess but there is still a flower in there which just needs to be watered. I need to clear my mind of all the useless thoughts. I also needs to forgive those who I constantly think of negatively and move on. Something pure inside of me is wanting to come out. I wake up tomorrow free from my past sickness and I am calm. I gain a passion for something and I am mindful of its future success. I am strong and I feel competent. My mind is connected to godly thinking and I am walking in a straight line. I will never forget how disconnected I was. I was weak and had no strength of character. Cut ties with the past. Talk to that cool guy named God as you walk confidently in a straight line. This is a time capsule which I will read again when I am not high. Thank you Silverchair for your nice lyrics.
I'm desperately trying to make the connection between this man and that smooth, baby-faced skinny little kid in Anthem of the Year 2000.
You should have seen him in 92
he was 19 at "Anthem" and 27 at "Straight Lines". You know... age and stuff.
Que Fuerte lol, I was gonna say. Strange how this has so many upvotes
IsThisRealLife It is a brilliant song nonetheless. Straight Lines is a brilliant composition
Everybody grows up.
Love love love this song. His smile at the end just tops it off! Wonder if they ever thought they'd be so huge, during their days at Newcastle High School. Truly top musicians ❤
Hi I Recommend an indierock song called 'The Bond Villain' By Robert Nix
How are you doing? Hope you are fine and staying safe out there?
This song is 16 years old and fresh as a daisy.
Vood music is always fresh....Jm gonna have to Google because id be interested to see if theyre doing anything these days? I dont pay attention like i used to. Gettin old......Lol
This album is one of the best albums ever made by an Australian band. If you compare this to a song like Anthem the growth, artistry, musicianship etc is outstanding. I've always admired Daniels writing and growth album to album. The problem is the fan does not grow with the band always. This is a masterpiece. If you don't get it you're doing yourselves a disservice.
Growth?! Oh please.
You would have said the same thing if neon ballroom came after this album.
One cannot grow after neon ballroom. That was the peak.
@@justdev8965 lol, Bullshit, this is awesome and some of his solo is as well. I do want the hiatus to end and some concerts of old school though
The way he starts dancing at 2:45 reminds me of Michael Stipe. Very similar to the way he danced in the song Losing My Religion.
This song is very relatable to my own life. Love it.
HAPPY 4 MILLION VIEWS SILVERCHAIR!
This song for me has helped me as I’ve tried to overcome addiction and mental health issues, no matter what life throws at you, walk that straight line. Stay clean. Stay sober. I adore this song, still p k at it when I need encouragement.
Totally agree. Such an empowering song. Keep going buddy
Love your comment. Im sober too. I love this song so much, It's the one I want buried to. I have complex health issues. This song brings the life into my veins. 🎉❤😊
If you knew the story behind this song and the positive message it carries because of it, I bet a few here would understand the direction better. The guy went through hell. This song is extremely reassuring for others. I'm glad it sounds different. I'm glad they wrote it.
it's April 2020 and still listening to this song ❤️❤️ #StaySafe #StayStrong
after growing up listening to and loving everything this man had to give, this song was the spark that every daniel johns fan needed
Silverchair After Nirvana you are BEST trio!! i tell you from Spain ,a listener of you from 90's until today! Thank you so much for your creativity!!🙌🏽
I don't think about it that way, my thinking is not about the color of the eyes, it is too superficial and simple, Silverchair is a band, a conjunction of three talents, their compositions are not comparable and for me in their genius they are an evolution in sound from the 90s.
@@RavenousFallen Silverchair always took it as a great compliment and often made the joke themselves that they were Australian Nirvana after hearing it so much. It was their grunge sound, not the looks. Lighten up.
I'm 35 years old and for 23 years I haven't been able to assimilate Daniel's beauty, it's something magical that touches me, excites me...
He's visual material.
I'll tell you something else too. Playing this song versus listening to this song is totally different experience. If you have the chance to grab an instrument and play along with him while he's singing, this song transforms into so much more. Then just listening to it. I can't explain that I'm doing my best though have a great day.
KevinMooreFan33 Which instrument do you enjoy more?

I remember listening to this song obsessively in the summer of 2007 after getting sober and facing a whole new reality. I saw Silverchair when they came to Seattle in 1997, I was 14, they were not much older than me❤️🔥
I’m 12 days sober and this song gives me so much hope ❤
@@aliboinphotography8953 There is life after drugs/alcohol. Don’t quit before the miracle happens. Love and hugs 💚
The guy is a genius, what can you say.
Hi I recommend a song called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
I love all silver chair come back boys
Thank you silver chair
Frogstomp all day long. What an album.
Yeah if you're 13
I was to young to know the name of this masterpiece and understand the lyrics but I remember singing with joy in the car with this blasting. It’s so good to now know the name of this song and listen to a musical genius every day
Anyone who has had, or has loved someone with drug problems knows how much this song means...
My thoughts are with you Daniel ,stay strong stay focused 💪 🙏 💙
Hi I Recommend a Song called: 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
I don't need no time to say there's no changing yesterday
This is one my favorite songs to start the day with!
*oh those eyes!! 👀*
The singer also, could so playing angel in a movie with his presence. You can so much in his eyes.
I grew up listening and admiring silver chair. (We are close in age) What a wonderful time it was to be alive.
Maybe it was his struggles, with a combination of my struggles, this masterpiece brings me sadness with a smile.....
Shit. I totally forgot about this song. Wow this is hitting a memory bone I forgot I had.
#right
People go through hardships and grow up man. I'm not the same person or have all the same musical tastes as I did when I was headbanging to Faultline back in 1994.
