I don't really want to be the queen. Luke. Thank U, I must remember U will never be mine. Clarke, Thanks for the much respect! The singer is truly a man that you could lust for.
I'd be honored if some 90s fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal UA-cam performances of MEET VIRGINIA by Train, NAME by the GooGoo Dolls, and "1979" by the Smashing Pumpkins in tribute to 3 of the most iconic songs of the mid/late 90s. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Peace out and stay safe in the '020s.
My mamas name was Virginia....this came out around the same time she died in 1998...i was 19 and utterly alone in this world....this song would comfort me...i cant wait till this life is over so i can go home and meet Virginia...i miss her so much
Just worked his show last night. He deserved more people. What a crowd. That 5000 people sounded like 20000. It was crazy. The staff and I couldn't believe it.
This song kills me every time I listen to it. I always tear up and then eventually just let go crying. My mother passed away in 2011 and she loved this band. Her name was none other than Virginia. Most of the lyrics in this song describe my mom. She was the best mother who gave me the best childhood a little kid could ask for. I am 31 now and miss her so damn much. If you are reading this and you still have your mother, please tell her you love her all the time and hug her tight. I love you mom. I can't wait to meet you again Virginia! Update 4/6/2021 I've been completely surprised by the overwhelming positive responses since I first posted 3 years ago. I wish I could hug you all. Instead I will raise a toast to all of you and enjoy a bottle of wine. Since my post, my wife and I had a baby girl in March 2019. We named our daughter Alice Virginia in memory of my mother and my wife's mother. Both our mothers passed the same year of 2011. I decided to respond again because I just lost my Uncle today. He is my mothers only sibling. They were the best friends of each other, because of losing their own mother as baby's. Their mother was only between 20 or 22 and they were 1 and 2 years old.They formed a bond that could never be broken. They were raised by their father, who died at 55, their grandpa, and their second mommy, their grandma. I was reminiscing and decided to listen music that takes me back to the great times I had with my mom and uncle. Losing my uncle today has literally left me with nobody on my mothers side of her family. I am just devastated. The loss of my uncle was the last of my mothers memory. I am very grateful he was able to represent his mother, father, and my mom to witness my kids being born. My wife had a miscarriage in January of 2021. It would have been a blessing to have a third child and my uncle witnessing it. We lost two lives this year sadly. So on this day of April 6 of 2021, my uncle went to heaven to Meet Virginia, his sister...again for eternity. RIP Mom and Uncle Joe. Life just got harder without you both. To you reading this, I Love You.
you should have the end of your text if you're reading this you must have another no I don't I don't know her father but I know where they are and I know your mother's is fine is fine more than fine believe me she's okay probably wishing you were okay remember her as if y'all were together she's a feather in the Wind a bird on your shoulder if your hair blows back and there's no wind blowing that's your mom she's okay just hoping you're okay she's only sad when you're sad hope this helps not hurts she's with you sweetie believe that Blessed Be
My mom's name was Virginia as well she passed in 2012. We were like peas and carrots haha really she was a great mom like your Virgina but she lived to be 88 and if only she had suddenly died in two weeks I was going to fly to see her. Hope to see her too on the flip side.
Messed up..meant if only she didn't pass so suddenly I had a plane ticket to see her 2 weeks later. I miss her everyday and probably always will till my dying day.
sirk425 I cry every time I hear this too nd wen he says she pulls her hair back as she screams I don't wana be the queen I do the same nd there go to the tears...
This song fills me with so much happiness. A reminder of simpler times, of popping in this cd in the cd player and driving around town with the windows down, trying to look cool to girls. Damn dude I miss those days
The music that came out between the 90s-00s is arguably the absolute best era for music. So many one hit wonders that are timeless. You got bands like this, the grunge era which produced some of the best singers and front men of any era. I'm not sure you can touch this era of music and nostalgia. Please just take me back to that time.
I love the lyrics because Virginia is a girl who will go along with everything, she contradicts herself, goes along with all the trends and is miserable because of it. Virginia could be many girls on Twitter or Social Media today, so the song is timeless.
@@jonasabry9099 That is totally not what i got out of this song. Read the lyrics and seems and watch the video. Seems a lot more like she is just stuck in a dead end life and she is got depression. I don't see anything about going along with trends in this song
Lol isn’t it funny when you stop and listen how life takes you back to what was ninth grade for me I’m 36 now WOW where does the time really go it’s surreal
I'd be honored if some Train & late 90s fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of MEET VIRGINIA ua-cam.com/video/BBZjAq3n4z4v/v-deo.html and BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY by the Verve on my YT channel in tribute to 2 of the most iconic songs of the era.

Had to come and hear that guitar/bass intro again- was hooked as a kid the first time I heard it and it’s what made me want to learn bass. Rest easy, Charlie Colin!
I can relate to this song. There are many Virginia's ( that aren't named Virginia ) out there. The girl that isn't sure what she wants in life, has gone through a lot and learned to lie and steal to get by, acts strange from the rest, and is not happy with the direction their life is going. Despite all of that, she is loving and nurturing. Finally, their intuition is magic. I consider them to be roses that bloomed through concrete.
@@Truthfully_heather Agreed! I was diagnosed with PTSD by the time i was nine years old from events no one knew were going on. Abusers are slick, they know how to have most other's completely snowed by being able to flip from one personality to another. Heather, I'm truly sorry to hear about your childhood, that must've been very traumatic for you. I hope your later years have been kinder to you. 💕
I was at Wal-Mart this morning and this song was playing. I nearly fell into tears as this song brought me back when I was in high school when this song came out. I'm almost 45 years old now. Reading the lyrics to this song made my day. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it is skin deep.💋
@@JackDanyaKemplini cant really relate to listening to this during the time it was new, but ive been listening to Meet Virginia probably before i could string together more than 2 words. im turning 17 soon, and i heard the song and i havent listenee to it in quite a long time.
This group! This song! I really miss my childhood in the 90s. Think about it often. Times were much more simple and happiness wasn’t an everyday chore.
Just seen these guys for the fifth time on July 15th in NY. They are still amazing. I have been listening to their music since the 70s. Keep pushing on guys, your awesome!!!
Fantastic song musically too! Drummer is packing a good groove like he means it, bass is fantastic with such tasty fills and choice of notes, and the guitar lead with that kick at the end is fabulous! They were all in sync when they recorded this one.
This song always reminds me of my baby sister - 1967 - 1991 may she rest in peace, her biggest fear was that she would be forgotten, If you have a Virginia in your life you will never forget them!! This song always reminds me of the hole in my heart and makes me cry.
No I’m 37 years old I remember this music it was amazing music back then music now is this I don’t even know I should say it but I don’t like it but I know what you mean when people were like we will be living like that anymore I understand that this world is cruel so Are people

After high school I worked in a sporting good store in NYC called “City Sports” in 2000. I sold shoes, and pretty much worked retail. This song was on loop because it was a corporate approved playlist. It was in those months that I was working there that I decided to join the Marine Corps, while this song was playing in the background. Little did I know what I was getting into, this song comforted me and made me feel like everything would be ok. And it did turn out ok.
February 2022 and putting this on as a get ready for work breaking down crying. This song truly is sometimes the only thing that gets the through the days. Thank you for such a beautiful song.
When it comes to this hopeful energy of Meet Virginia by Train I admit that I am probably going to more likely connect this song to positive connotations from first hearing the song at a time in my life where I literally felt like the sky is the limit (late 90s as an idealistic 19 years old).
The music from the 90s and 2000s has a nice beat of that time era. The groups and bands have a different beat of singin. During the time with the vocalizing style and instruments were great variety.
Recently rediscovered this song and 1. Totally forgot that Rebecca Gayheart was in the video (and how iconic 90s she was) 2. Hear me out as my critique is for the music only (could care less about the lyrics) the only thing stopping this from being one of the best songs of the 90s is the chorus. Man, it’s whiny and depressing. You can disagree. If it rocks your boat, live it up. 3. The verses absolutely make this song. That tasty AF lean bass and guitar picking texture and simple harmony underneath that great off the beat baritone melody. 4. The GEM though is at 2:35 when the air clears after the bridge! The fun little lead guitar riffs, the arrhythmia, and that great 90s device where the melody jumps up to the next note in the given chord. Great song. Good for them.
I saw them play this live in Philly when I was junior in college. They were playing a free acoustic set on the first floor of HMV on Walnut Street. It was awesome. 2 years later, I got a job at Tower records. That experience was too cool.
I have had this song dedicated to me so many times in my life (my name is Virginia Kristine). The older I get the more it makes sense. I've grown to really love this song!
I will never not love this song. Came out when I was in school and I vaguely remember hearing it. First fell in love with it on a 90's cd in middle school. Still love it.
I love this song! It is exactly like my daughter. I always enjoy hearing it. It's my favorite song. My daughter is 24 and she is a Virginia all the way
Best song ever and I wish to God the new aged songs would run of this inspiration ! Because this was when life actually really mattered and wasn't by technology by our finger tips on our phones !
I'm a musician and love lots of different types of music. But there was always something about this song that always got me. Have to say one of my favorites. Everytime it comes on, i just think, turn it all the way up and sing along.
I remember this song through the music video. Also Rebecca Gayheart looks gorgeous in the music video. I would sometimes find myself singing this song alone. It's so lovely.
Nicole E that is the point my dear - that is what makes this song so brilliant, unlike most songs - it gives you the radical emotional swings of the woman he adores
I love this song wasn’t even aware about it until years after it came out I love the energy amazing! Hope my homeless friend made it to his destination this song reminds of so much thank you it brings harmony too!
This is so wild that this song has so few views compared to Drops of Jupiter (13 million at the time of writing). I remember this song being pretty popular in 1999. And it was a hit for them. Obviously Drops of Jupiter was a bigger hit for them, but this song came first. Meet Virginia walked so Drops could run!
You know… I’ve never listened that close to this song till now. I’m in a dark sort of place. But I’ve known better. I can do better. I’m here. Queen or servant. Let it be.
Started dating the woman of my dreams months back, named Virginia, this is our (my ) anthem. I can’t help belting it every time I think of her or introduce her to anyone .
This is one of Train's best, and underrated songs, truly excellent!
I don't really want to be the queen. Luke. Thank U, I must remember U will never be mine. Clarke, Thanks for the much respect! The singer is truly a man that you could lust for.
RIP Charlie Colin (November 22, 1966 - May 22, 2024), aged 57
You will be remembered as a legend
Interesting how you really don't notice how good a song is till years later in your life. Emotions are stronger than anything.

Take your time, robynkrest; she'll be waiting for you. In the meantime, I hope you remember her well; that way, she's never truly gone. Peace to you.

Best song ever and I wish to God the new aged songs would run of this inspiration ! Because this was when life actually really mattered and wasn't by technology by our finger tips on our phones !
Always loved this song.
I'm a musician and love lots of different types of music. But there was always something about this song that always got me. Have to say one of my favorites. Everytime it comes on, i just think, turn it all the way up and sing along.
March 2022. Reminds of CT in the 90’s🥰 I Miss that good feeling music like this✨

Meet Gloria--Bus
This song is so amazing and inspirational
how so?
Love the song but you can tell me what is it about
I remember this song through the music video. Also Rebecca Gayheart looks gorgeous in the music video. I would sometimes find myself singing this song alone. It's so lovely.
I love this song❤❤❤
All time favorite song. I'm 36 it never gets old for me.
Back when Train was cool. On another note, it's weird how this song goes from light and fun to serious and dark in the chorus and then back to light.
Back to your first note, Train is still cool. Saw them a few months ago! Love Bulletproof Picasso. :)
Nicole E that is the point my dear - that is what makes this song so brilliant, unlike most songs - it gives you the radical emotional swings of the woman he adores
Train hasn't concluded their coolness. Going strong since 94!
Music Guru I agree. I like the dark part better myself.
Nicole E I've always thought of them as edgy pop rock, and they've always sounded consistent with the content of their songs.
One of the greatest songs ever written.
This song hits home with me... speaks volumes
This song’s lyrics are sad, but I love hearing it. It brings back a lot of good memories and makes me happy every time I hear it.
Makes me cry for simpler days.....
I woke up with this song stuck in my head so here i am
I love this song wasn’t even aware about it until years after it came out I love the energy amazing! Hope my homeless friend made it to his destination this song reminds of so much thank you it brings harmony too!
Never gets old...love it!!❤
Its July 2021... my Day Off, Saturday, listening to this .
October 2024❤
This is so wild that this song has so few views compared to Drops of Jupiter (13 million at the time of writing). I remember this song being pretty popular in 1999. And it was a hit for them. Obviously Drops of Jupiter was a bigger hit for them, but this song came first. Meet Virginia walked so Drops could run!
You know… I’ve never listened that close to this song till now. I’m in a dark sort of place. But I’ve known better. I can do better. I’m here. Queen or servant. Let it be.
That harmony at the end at about the 3:50 mark is beautiful. This song speaks volumes! 💚
Started dating the woman of my dreams months back, named Virginia, this is our (my ) anthem. I can’t help belting it every time I think of her or introduce her to anyone .
Came back instantly.. Crazy I relate to it just as much 20ish years later
