One thing about Avril Lavigne is that when she sings other people's songs, she doesn't try to sound like them. She does it as if she made the song. Love that.
No I’m a performer and her voice is shaking, I think she kept her singing basic because she is nervous AF because of her love and respect for GGD and Johnny. I love Avril I’m not putting her down, I’m actually pointing out how beautiful it is to see her nervous next to someone she admires so much.

Their concert in a downpour in Buffalo proves this. They destroyed tens of thousands in equipment because the fans were in the rain too. Fact : I only own one CD. It is always in my stereo.
Mwah don’t think they are underrated, I’ve been one of there gigs on sziget but is wasn’t special until they played this song and everyone went crazy whaha, this is such a good song though.
I grew up in the 90's and was immersed in this iconic music, and yeah Avril Lavigne killed it here! Mad respect to her, and great homage to a timeless classic 🎸🎶🤘🏾
The thing is that there isn't a way to oversing this kind of song... It will always be unique as it stands and any attempt shall only be seen as a way to get publicity
I’ve seen Johnny perform Iris with other female artists but none of them can touch the magic performed between him & Avril, imo. Perfection right here & so beautifully done.
when u think about it “i’m with you” and “iris” are very similar if you sing these side by side: “i’m standing on the bridge, i’m waiting in the dark” + “and i’d give up forever to touch you, cause i know that u feel me somehow” “it’s a damn cold night” + “and i don’t want the world to see me”. plus the violins in the background!
AEFFINGMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When I heard this. God. It’s such a deep longing for something true and unconditional. God. This became my song when I first heard it.
I love how Avril & Evan look quite nervous at first but then johnny gives them reassurance by playing with them, like playing guitar near Evan & bumped Avril playfully. After that evan plays guitar confidently & avril's tension eases a bit.
The lyrics, the meaning behind the lyrics (angel + love from the soundtrack City of Angels), the music and Avril and Johnny's voice all collide to make this song a most memorable one for me. It sends tears down my face - it's that impactful.
Yeah mate , felt the same way when they just open their mouth it’ was not lyrics but melted emotions flowing through them . Am I weird or only I just felt this ways
There are no words for this beautiful duet. 💖 Avril Lavigne and Johnny Rzenik's voices work so well together. I listen to this duet over and over again.
I wasn't familiar with Avril Lavrigne's signing and choices until now. I was in the military at the time and she seemed kind of pop. Thank you for sharing this. In my humbled opinion she has a lot of talent and heart.
*_Iris_* Goo Goo Dolls Lyrics And I'd give up forever to touch you 'Cause I know that you feel me somehow You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be And I don't want to go home right now And all I can taste is this moment And all I can breathe is your life And sooner or later it's over I just don't wanna miss you tonight And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's meant to be broken I just want you to know who I am And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming Or the moment of truth in your lies When everything feels like the movies Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's meant to be broken I just want you to know who I am And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's meant to be broken I just want you to know who I am And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's meant to be broken I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am
A big thank to you for the love and support over the years. So I decide to put a smile on some fans face today by going through an old post and hitting up random fans to show How much I’m happy to always see your heart warming comments and we are also ready to listen to your criticism and compliments so we can keep growing. ❤️❤️
Me too, the 90’s were a special time. The last era of an old way of life, merging with a technological revolution. A very small margin of existence that can never be recreated. I’m truly grateful to have grown in my most influential times, during this era
Amazing like 19 years later this song is still the best avril lavigne collaboration. It took me back to the good old days, where the music was the best. 😢❤

i listened to this song for the 1st time a month ago, while i was at a coffee shop... i love the lyrics sm and appreciate all the versions, everything about this song is so beautiful and relatable
This was my early high school days. Followed avril the whole way. When I found this it was the duet I always wanted. They did it perfectly and live too. Both amazing artists along with a lot of punk/rock bands at the time. We haven't had many really amazing alternative artists for a while and it's a shame
My dad used to love listening to this song and Foo Fighters by the Goo Goo Dolls. My dad used to love listening to Complicated, Mobile and Things I'll Never Say by Avril Lavigne. My dad and I used to be extremely close. We aren't as close anymore but that is alright. I have gotten used to that fact.
Even when you are most sperated music still exists. Do what you want as long as it's to fulfill yours or others lives, never do anything you'll regret without an upside. Live life keep good people close. Enjoy life as far as us alive ones know we don't get another life. This is coming from a 12 year old in 2021. Dam rock and roll was best in the 60's-80's.
Hi Jill ! Believe me , it’s not ok! It’s not ok at all! I will bet my left ahum” ear” that he thinks of this constantly and would dearly want to be back on your Xmas card list so to speak! I never got to say goodbye to my Father and he was pretty much an asshole to me at times , yet I do know he loved me as I felt it ! Six years have past and I miss him every day and wish I could hear him pick up the phone or walk in my door, especially with all this crap going on! Provided the man is not a sicko and has not abused you I would not be waisting a second more than you need , to get back in touch with him and see if you can find that bond again. I wish you all the very best for you both. Regards Mark

This song never get old...
True
But it is a young ugly
So true!
Ever
I prefer Name
One thing about Avril Lavigne is that when she sings other people's songs, she doesn't try to sound like them. She does it as if she made the song. Love that.
Ever heard of Mr. Elvis Presley?
So Taylor too
Lol basic
No I’m a performer and her voice is shaking, I think she kept her singing basic because she is nervous AF because of her love and respect for GGD and Johnny. I love Avril I’m not putting her down, I’m actually pointing out how beautiful it is to see her nervous next to someone she admires so much.
@@jenelyntomaquin2274 So Taylor too? Huh?
This song and Avril's "I'm With You" would actually make an epic mashup.
You should make that mashup
Yess!
Don't forget to segue into Sarah McLaughlin's 'Arms Of The Angel' for an outro.
I actually did try to make it. Even though they sound like they would fit perfectly, the keys are to far from each other unfortunately.
❤️❤️❤️
Incredible nostalgia here!! Can’t believe this was 17 years ago. That was such a fun era of music and a better time.
I Agree!
La nostalgia di un amore struggente. Due anime eternamente giovani, cristalline una per l'altra, cristallizzate cosmicamente nell'essersi trovate, e anche trovate complementari reciprocamente.
Questo mi raccontò all'epoca la musica. Perché il contenuto del testo, non essendo io anglofono, lo ignorai bellamente.
As I remember that song in 1998 when still in highschool and still best song I ever Heard.
Agreed and yes wow I feel so old and love his old stuff so I recognise him. Unlike now with all the horrific plastic surgery.
i was 17 then
Goo Goo Dolls are such a criminally underrated band.
They absolutely are not lol they are a popular band
Their concert in a downpour in Buffalo proves this. They destroyed tens of thousands in equipment because the fans were in the rain too. Fact : I only own one CD. It is always in my stereo.
@@marikafleur This is youtube. Everyone and everything is sO uNdeRrAtEd
imagine thinking one of the most popular bands in the 90s and early 2000s is UNDERRATED LMFAO
Mwah don’t think they are underrated, I’ve been one of there gigs on sziget but is wasn’t special until they played this song and everyone went crazy whaha, this is such a good song though.
There is something about this song that it never gets old
I agree
What is it… Explain it… You must be able to put it into words.
The melody and lyrics are so haunting. It hits on a deep level.
In the 90s the lyrics to this song were other worldly. Add a unique and distinctive voice and it becomes timeless.
@@saintjabroni not everything can or has to be put into words
I didn't think that Avril Lavigne and Johnny Rzenik's voices would work so well together. I'm happy that they do.
Agreed
She goes well with chad Kruger too...
It’s because rzeniks voice is better I think for this song.
That's not Avril thats a clone dont ya know
The perfect duo....
This was great but nothing will ever touch the performance in the rain on Fourth of July 2004. That was magical.
Yess!!!!
Agree
Ok, massive respect for Avril Lavigne, she didn't try try to over sing the song. That is class!!!
Exactly! I agree!
She seemed a bit nervous IMO
I grew up in the 90's and was immersed in this iconic music, and yeah Avril Lavigne killed it here! Mad respect to her, and great homage to a timeless classic 🎸🎶🤘🏾
@@yominishijama6204
Yes she did kill it!
I really love and respect our Canadian Girl!
❤ 🇨🇦 🎶 ♾🙏🏻
The thing is that there isn't a way to oversing this kind of song... It will always be unique as it stands and any attempt shall only be seen as a way to get publicity
I’ve seen Johnny perform Iris with other female artists but none of them can touch the magic performed between him & Avril, imo. Perfection right here & so beautifully done.
Because she’s singing in the original key and they didn’t have to rearrange it for another artist to match their pitch.
Iris one of her favorite song...facts
To this day one of the most beautiful songs ever!
yeah! 🤘
I agree!
I also really like , " Slide" ..
👏👏👏👏👏👌
Avril’s voice is from another planet! Incredible!
Agree.
Her Shania cover is so good.
❤️
when u think about it “i’m with you” and “iris” are very similar if you sing these side by side:
“i’m standing on the bridge, i’m waiting in the dark” + “and i’d give up forever to touch you, cause i know that u feel me somehow”
“it’s a damn cold night” + “and i don’t want the world to see me”.
plus the violins in the background!
Which song was released first?
@@inlakesh555 I'm pretty sure Iris
And both are in 6/8 time so they flow nicely together!
I vividly remember watching this performance on TV. 20 years ago. Still as lovely
She has a very angelic pop punk voice 🤘🤘 And she can reach high notessss
She's OFF KEY on the MIDS!!!
it doesnt bother her offkey the song she covers is for male key@@jpb1231000
Like if you're still jamming to this tune, 20 years later.
I became aware of this duet, right here, this second... love it and appreciate it.
Yes! I took the linkin park, to breaking Benjamin and here we go!
same and it literally changed whole life. two of my favorite artists ever
@@Richard87H also amazing artists I enjoy!!!
@@sarahhazuka5846 it felt illegal that I didn't know about this !
Same
No bells and whistles with Avril’s voice. She belts it out straight forward. Love it. She is tiny!!!
This should have been released officially. It's so good. I can't listen to Goo Goo Dolls version alone anymore. I always need the one with Avril.
Com a Avril fica melhor
Tocou muito na rádio na época essa versão
AEFFINGMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When I heard this. God. It’s such a deep longing for something true and unconditional. God. This became my song when I first heard it.
2004 seems like a lifetime ago.... but this song and performance will live on even when we are all gone. This is perfection...
Can’t believe it’s almost 20yrs ago…90s and 2000s are really great decades of music imho
@@esemsescalona8352 I agree my friend.
20 years ago this year. Jeeez, and I have memories from 2004 and before. I'm old
I got goosebumps I can't believe that I've never seen this performance
Avril's voice is so beautiful that it matches magically with the Iris. Great collaboration.
Glad avril Lavigne was around during my teens… grew up listening to her music and still growing up with her. I hope she never stops singing
Some of best lyrics ever written in a song:)
Two legends! This was the greatest duet of its time!
I love how Avril & Evan look quite nervous at first but then johnny gives them reassurance by playing with them, like playing guitar near Evan & bumped Avril playfully. After that evan plays guitar confidently & avril's tension eases a bit.
When did he bump Avril?
@@tonyg76 3:04 :)
@@Aisa_Ribbens Thank you!
@@tonyg76 you are absolutely welcome:)
If this isn’t part of the Great American Songbook, it should be. Timeless and beloved by millions
Her vocal are incredibely strong, I loved it
The lyrics, the meaning behind the lyrics (angel + love from the soundtrack City of Angels), the music and Avril and Johnny's voice all collide to make this song a most memorable one for me. It sends tears down my face - it's that impactful.
Like the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost.
Yeah mate , felt the same way when they just open their mouth it’ was not lyrics but melted emotions flowing through them . Am I weird or only I just felt this ways
Wish we could hear Johnnys voice clearer here, his tone sounds phenomenal. Possibly one of his best jobs on the chorus ever
I've spent some time listening to cover after cover and this rendition with Avril is easily the best I can find - what an absolute treasure.
The sleeping with sirens cover is beautiful
@@bradfoster8146 I was just gonna say this
Diamonte
@@christophernichols748 the virtual version is really good too.
Buffalo NY 04 in the rain could be their best performance of this song
Wow, Johnny looks great!!!
Avril is shockingly beautiful. These two together, on this song, hit me. Love the Goo Goo Dolls!!!
Johnny has the best haircut of any bandmate on planet earth.
There are no words for this beautiful duet. 💖 Avril Lavigne and Johnny Rzenik's voices work so well together. I listen to this duet over and over again.

Great job Avril, this guy is genuine music man, long live this song.
What an amazing voice Avril has. Loved her since my childhood, shes never aged physically and still sounds as amazing as this 🙏 ❤️

Lyrics
And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later it's over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
This song is so nostalgic. It's always on my playlist. ❤️
Sometimes you forget how young Avril used to be when she came on the scene! Oh man...2004 memories!
I miss the old avril
@@hamgil Since they replaced her with the clone it was never the same
@@arunashamal🤦♂️🤣How's it feel to be one of the dumbest sheep? That rumor was literally started to show how gullible people are.
OMG the chills when she starts singing!
Its been 13 long years and everytime I hear or listen to this I see my mate Danny. It was his funeral song and its the last memory I have of him.
That’s a good memory to have. Cherish it.
Wow, she did this song well. I was obsessed with this song back in the day lol
One of my favourite performances ❤️
A beautiful song and a wonderful performance by Avril and Johnny. We can not go back in time. But at least we have this magical moment to enjoy.💫
That sounded incredible
This versión should be in Spotify
