@@IIchicgo that's the sad part. Most of us didn't order trash music like those. The new generation of kids today likes that kind of music. Who TF would listen to a song that only has Gucci gang as its lyric dafuq?
I listened to a father soothe his crying infant at the airport by singing this song softly and slowly. I had to hold back my tears. What a beautiful moment.
@@markhamhayseed3709 I think that you misunderstood me. I was replying only to @awsomeo1979's sarcastic "Yeah that happened." I agree that this happened; "r/nothingeverhappens" is a reference to a subreddit that mocks Internet users who assume, like @awsomeo1979, that a plausible situation, such as @pippass9005's, never happened for no apparent reason. In other words, the "nothing ever happens" is sarcasm to match the baseless assumption (i.e., "yeah that happened" here) that this could not have possibly happened. I hope this clarifies the intent of my comment for you! 😊
Reading through the comments, listening to this song and remembering the late 90s and early 2000s has made me realize that we are the first generation to grow old together in real time. Though millions of us have never met, from city to the boondocks, somehow we all share similar experiences and nostalgia. I imagine once we become elderly we will all still be sitting in these very comment sections reminiscing about 1998.
That’s crazy, but true. Technology connected all of us. Sometimes I still feel like a kid that gets to go home to my parents house, after school without a worry in the world.
Spent many nights crying myself to sleep with this song. Helped me get through a very dark time in my life. Thank you Johnny for writing one of the most beautiful songs ever written
Oh Sammy...whatever you are going through right now know that it will also soon passed just hang in there. I thought I'm gonna die 7 months ago from sickness but God isn't done with me yet.
@@jane_7777 Yes, whatever it is that we felt, it'll just pass. I am in a much happier place right now because I have accepted, moved on and recovered. This song got me through everything.
Yesterday was the last day of my grandma with us. My cousin played this song to her on his guitar and we sang it together at the side of her bed. Although she most probably couldn't hear us, I hope even a tiny part of her did. Love you granny, you'll be with me always.
She heard it….my grandmother is about to leave the world too. But remember, just because shes no longer with u here on earth doesn’t mean she left u, she never left, she’s just with u in spirit now. She’ll always be a part of u💯💯💯
Typically hearing is the last sense to go, providing that wasn’t an issue prior. So here’s to praying she heard every second of it and felt the love. So sorry for your loss. I’m pretty sure she heard all of it ❤🥲.
Fun fact: The band confirmed the story of the music video. The man suffers from terrible agoraphobia and social anxiety. He's very lonely and every day he looks through his telescope to watch people interact and takes down notes on how to socialize. He tries going out several times but is too scared and ends up changing his mind. He then has a breakdown from the isolation. Eventually he has enough and at the end he musters up the courage to leave his roof and goes out to see the world and try to make himself happy
My fiancé was killed in a car accident in 17 and i swear this song was meant for her. Her name was iris as well. Thank you for helping a random soul through the hardest journey ive encountered.
As horrible of a thing as it is, it gave me a sense of direction and meaning. Takes a little rain to make flowers grow. And this garden shall flourish because of it.
"And I don't want the world to see me, 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand." This song has been tugging on my heart strings since I was 10 years old. ❤
By far one of the deepest , most beautiful songs ever made . This will always bring me to tears. Hugs to all the lovers,givers and healers of the world ❤
"You bleed just to know you're alive." We bleed from the wounds of our past, the scars of our struggles, and the pain of our hearts. We just trying to be alive, we fight to feel the pulse of life, even everything feels like hollow
@@Nan-1017 Thank you so much for saying that! I actually love writing and reading poems and prose, but I tend to keep it to myself most of the time. It's something deeply personal for me, and I always worry about how others might react. But hearing kind words like yours makes me feel more confident! Maybe one day I'll get the courage to share more of my work with others. 😊 Thanks again for the encouragement!
I'd be honored if some 90s fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of NAME by the GooGoo Dolls, LONG DECEMBER by the Counting Crows, and "1979" by the Smashing Pumpkins on my YT channel in tribute to 3 great standards of the mid/late 90s era. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital enhancements. Peace out and stay safe in the '020s.
My mom is the biggest reason i absolutely love this band. She is now dancing in heaven listening to them and watching me teach my daughter who they are and all the bands she thought me. Thank you Goo Goo Dolls for making this amazing song because it reminds me of her and all the memories i have with her.
Words cannot describe the sheer joy and happiness I feel when I think about having such an amazing fan like you. Your unwavering support fills my heart with gratitude, and I cannot thank you enough for being a part of my journey.

I am so very sorry for your loss, God bless him and may God always be with you to bring you strength and comfort. All being said in respect of your own personal beliefs.
this song has always been so special to me, I can't help but get super emotional listening to this even now. I remember listening to this when I was twelve, sobbing, thinking I'd never make it to fourteen, but here I am, eighteen and going strong. It's saved my life more times than I'd like to admit over the years and I'll forever be grateful that this song exists. I'm getting a soundwave of this song tattooed over my self harm scars soon. Thank you.
Dude same here I technically shouldn’t be here it’s a miracle I’m alive today this song has helped me in tough times as well stay strong brother keep fighting because people really do care about you
Yeah, I'm of a rather similar age and know exactly what you mean. When I was a teen it hit the angst button, a few years later and it became a melancholy nostalgia. These days it's a pure truth in musical format, there's a bottomless depth of wisdom in those words, along with the sweetest pain. Undoubtedly one of the greatest songs ever written.
My favorite song of all time. The opening guitar is unmistakable, and that chorus absolutely hits it home. A timeless classic in every sense of the word.
I was a 17 year-old girl, watching City of Angels in the theater by myself and this song played. It said everything I couldn't, and it's forever a part of my soul. Fast forward 25 years, and I'm going to finally see the Goo Goo Dolls live tomorrow 😍 Thank you for being such a special part of so many lives!
My wife walked down to this song at our wedding 10 years ago. This song means so much to both of us. It has helped us both get through some tough times. And Iris just reminds us that sometimes all we have is each other and we’ve got each other’s backs. Here’s to 10 more years and beyond, babe. I love you. ❤️
I worked security last for their performance in Ridgeport Ct. These guys are genuinely really good guys, very respectful coming in asking how we(the workers) are doing and starting conversations with us, till they packed up to go, they continued to brace us for doing our job and holding it down . Much much much respects and to the people of Connecticut, very nice people out there
Being a stagehand is hard work you run your butts off for hours then you sit and wait to do it again lot of sleepless nights! Keep on keepin on ❤️ ✌️ 🤓 👍
This song is Satanic plain and simple. It is a song about the singer wanting a spirit to enter himself as he says "and I don't want the world to see me as I don't think that they'd understand" why is it that he doesn't want the world to see him???? Please don't tell me you think this was a lyric about a woman lol you'd want the world to know you thought about your girl right??? He is talking about wanting to be possessed and that he knows sooner or later it's over (his life once the spirit is done with him).....it's a dark evil song made to hide in plain sight. Sorry but things aren't what they seem. But carry on.
Also, he keeps looking through the one eyed lense of the telescope.....one eye is showing one eyes is looking through into "space" notice also that there are no women in this video......because again he is NOT talking about a woman or love he is talking about the spirit he is trying to summon via this song. He is telling you who is talking to and what he is apart of via the imagery in the video. Wake up.
'Iris' is a freakin emotional rollercoaster, man! You can practically feel every word Johnny Rzeznik sings deep in your bones. And those guitar riffs? PURE magic. Whether you're belting it out in your car or letting it hit you in the feels at home, Iris is one of those tracks that just gets better every time you hear it. It's like it's got its own little spot in your heart, yk???!!!
Nah its too cheesy and cliche of a song to come off as authentic and impactful. If you want this type of music but with more edge and actual impact, listen to Creed; much better guitar tone and riffs (surely Tremonti is way better than some singer guy who looks like, well, a doll), better voice and lyrics.
Not your fault....real emotion.... Recognize real emotion. I'm at the point where that's all that matters...no one control's it...just ourselves. This song gets 20 out of 10 when it comes to epic emotion.
Seriously, same here. Heard this in a grocery store a few days ago, for the first time in at least a decade, and it's been in my head ever since. The lyrics ended up being rather close to heart, after a thorough listen, in a way that they weren't at all when this came out when I was in High School in 1998.
Sorry for my bad English, but when I hear songs that I grow up, I'm feeling a joy that grows up in those years and brings me a sadness too that years will not come back
I'm 23 years old, i never heard this song in my life before until last month, since then I've been hooked. I even watched city of Angels just because of this song. I can't stop replaying this song, Iris has definitely taught me to love music again, it's been since I was 16 that I found a song and fell in love with it. A friend once told me "you can't touch music, but music can touch you." I understand that now. Thank you Goo Goo Dolls! ♥
@@Ensainee Aye well you can listen to it now and so much more, a lot of things are cool about these days and a lot shit sucked back then, but yeah it would have been cool to experience this coming out as a new thing.

One of my fav. songs... the moments when you realise that love and life are complicated. His voice echoes the struggles we feel, to lay bare our inner self.... for love, for another or on paper.❤ Would have loved to been there when they were recording it!
Theoretically smell is more evocative, as it's buried in the hindbrain, but really it's music. Some single notes evoke a whole song and then a whole memory.
After coming from the 70s 80s gen of music. This song is a standout for content and quality. And that's saying a lot. I still got Led Zeppelin in my blood. Lol
@@notimportant1006they are just going back to what they were saying in the beginning of the song and then repeated it back again to stress it ,it's a well known trick in music to have it on the mind.. I just want you to know who I am ,it's nice..
The guy was an angel who didn't want to go to heaven yet. He wanted to stay with his love. Not that deep, he literally describes what was going on in the movies
Happy holidays all. god bless 🙌 🙏 all who is here December 2024 listening 🎶 to a classic masterpiece enjoying and experiencing wonderful a wonderful song
This song sends shivers down my spine. Deep down I can relate and the line “I don’t want the world to see me, I don’t think they’d understand” hits like a train. I am socially anxious, and afraid to be myself. I love the song so much but it also hurts to listen to it
@@TheLuckyPunk1 Thx for the advice but i’m still young(18 years old) and don’t want to resort to drinking to solve my problems. (I am of age in my country though 😅)
My son plays guitar and sings. This was the first thing he ever played for me and it holds a special place in my heart! I love you Ryan! So proud of the man you’ve become!
The nostalgia I feel hearing some of these songs. I can’t even explain how much I miss being a kid in the 90s. These songs made me feel like I was in love with somebody that I hadn’t even met yet
Perfect way to sum up the 90s. Best time to be growing up. I'm 35 now, was about 12 when this song came out. How I miss those days. But really happy with current time only because I'm married to a wonderful woman.
ariel noah performed this song in Indonesia's rising star so well that i saw the original version, check out ariel noah's video "iris" on Indonesia's rising star channel...
I’m only 23 and this song is still so nostalgic to me. It always makes he feel like what a better place would sound like. Bring music like this back please.
I listen to mostly 90s and 2000s, especially while I'm at work. I'm 24, so I wasn't teenager when songs like these were popular. I didn't even hear them that often as a kid. However, I can see myself getting nostalgic for these once time passes, as they've helped me get through busy days and lazy hours.
@@kenyaholloway-reliford8213 I'm 18 and I feel the exact same way about old music. Sometimes when I listen to songs that were popular before I was even born, I feel nostalgic as if I used to listen to them all the time when it's in fact the first time I'm hearing about them. It's both weird and beautiful, and for some reason it makes me feel human again
I’m only 17 but I remember my dad showing me this song as a kid, I grew up on this song and no matter how much shit he’s done to me and put me through this song still makes me cry and miss him. Idk if I hate him or not anymore but even when I knew I did I still missed my dad and all of the good moments we had in between the bad ones. I hope anyone reading this cherishes this song as much as I do and I hope that you know that no matter how hard something may seem, it can take something as simple as a song to get through.
@@lexie220 it will get better. I mean, it has to. Somehow, out of no where, when we're least expecting it, it will. You might feel like there's no escape from the pain in your heart but I do believe we weren't born just to suffer. The human soul deserves to be loved and happy, and idk how but it will find a way out of the dark eventually. It always does❤️
@@lexie220 I'm a little late to this comment but as someone who has gone through it it is possible to mourn the death of someone who is alive but dead as a person
Thank you Goo Goo Dolls. This song touched my soul as a teenager, and even more so now. I deeply miss that era, and thank you again, for making the world a bit more beautiful with your music. 💕
My sister would play this song all the time 9 years ago. 2 years ago she died from cancer. She wanted me to play this at her funeral. I did. We will miss you Izzy. I loved growing up with you. I just want to eat one more bowl of ramen with her. I just want to listen to this with her. I just wish I could see her again. Fly high Izzy. I’ll always love you. Thank you for saving my life. Thank you for giving me my life. Thank you for everything. Fly high big sister. ❤️
Wow I had to take a seat after reading this an the other comment about the guy who's daughter died who's name was also Iris. My God continue to be in yal hearts an be strong for the love ones around you all. Blessed love from the Bahamas
@@DagazsYT Isn’t that part of being a human or you just want to be another recycled person saying oh don’t have feeling be strong. Only good days exist bullshit. It’s fine to be weak so you can understand how to get stronger.
November 18, 2024. Old songs are the best songs. They have Feeling, they have heart, they have sadness. You listen to find a meaning in your life, you remember the good memories, but you also remember the bad.
@@graedotyo be honest a lot of music today just feels heartless, not saying all of it, definitely some amazing songs recently but things just seem a lot less meaningful in todays music
I lost my mother in 2003. I was born in 85. The goo goo dolls epitomize my childhood through teens. I listened to this song with my mom in the car and we would both belt it out. Now its just a great memory of her. I still can hear her singing along. The words have always got me but they hold a special place now.
I am so sorry for your loss. It’s great to have those precious memories of your Mum. I lost my Dad and every time I hear a Johnny Cash song, it reminds me of my Dad. I love how music can bring up our precious memories.
I don’t think a lot of people understand what this song is about, it’s about knowing the one for you is out there, you know who they are, you know they’re somewhere, you have a picture perfect reflection of who they are in your mind, yet you don’t know where they are, and they don’t know where you are. But you both know, god you both know you’re out there. God I really need that person right now.
I disagree. I think its about someone wanting to show themselves to one person and be loved unconditionally but theyve held back showing their true self their whole life and dont know how to be that person with the person they love.
The song was written for the movie the City of Angels. An angel must jump off a building to bleed to make himself alive to be with a woman that couldn't truly see him until then. So in that case the songs true meaning is that an infinite and protected nothing is worth less than a short emotional something. I think whats great about this song though is not knowing what it is about. I hadn't learned why John wrote this until recently, and its helped me for so long before then. It can carry so many touching emotional meanings that are so helpful to so many of us.
I legit swell up when i hear this.... i think about being younger.... when i met my oldest daughters mom.... the years.... the bliss..... everything that came so quick that we at one point only thought that wouldnt. Life is nuts man.......... wow
When I turned 17, i had to stay at my grandpa's house and this song was being played on the radio, so my grandma, who doesn't speak any English at all (I'm Mexican), let alone understand this music, turned up the volume for me to listen. She just said: "these are the kind of songs you like, aren't they?" Fortunately she's still to be with me in this world for a long time.
After listening to this band for the last 20 years I finally saw them live tonight, the entire show was incredible. Iris was truly emotional, there is something about this song that is indescribable, soul touching really. Just an unbelievable show.
I'd be honored if some GooGoo's & 90s fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performance of their first big hit NAME on my YT channel in tribute to the masters. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and peace out.
I love acoustic music than the original music. Idk but it gives me peace of mind and take away the stress every time I listen to it.also the old songs,I really love those.sometimes, people around me especially those who were the same age as mine kept telling me 'hey, what kind of music of is that. It's too old .youre still in your mother's womb at that time that song were made so why listen to it. ' instead of answering those nonsense words,I just shrugged and smile. Then I ask myself ,what's wrong with that it's still called music. Nevermind me... Hahaha

Ur damn right I can relate to it too much that’s the reason we all do
Really???? Some people are listening to "Billy don't be a hero" by "Paper Lace"..... don't make it a good song tho
The whole world is listening to what they hold dear and what they are discovering

Fun fact: The band confirmed the story of the music video. The man suffers from terrible agoraphobia and social anxiety. He's very lonely and every day he looks through his telescope to watch people interact and takes down notes on how to socialize. He tries going out several times but is too scared and ends up changing his mind. He then has a breakdown from the isolation. Eventually he has enough and at the end he musters up the courage to leave his roof and goes out to see the world and try to make himself happy
Another fact: John Rzeznik was terribly depressed by that time, so he wasn't able to write or compose anything. And this song was a relief.
Another fun fact. The Mandolin and epic guitar solo were performed by a session artist by the name of Time Pierce.
Reminds me of hunchback of Notre dame
That’s what makes this song so enduring, it has a message many people can relate to
I can relate, haven't left my house since my dog passed away in April. Powerful song.
My fiancé was killed in a car accident in 17 and i swear this song was meant for her. Her name was iris as well. Thank you for helping a random soul through the hardest journey ive encountered.

Nostalgia is the best and worst feeling you can ever have.
I'd be honored if some 90s fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of NAME by the GooGoo Dolls, LONG DECEMBER by the Counting Crows, and "1979" by the Smashing Pumpkins on my YT channel in tribute to 3 great standards of the mid/late 90s era. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital enhancements. Peace out and stay safe in the '020s.
So totally true
Amen 🙌🏽
Aidan McDade so true friend !!👍🙏🤟
it rly is. it makes me just break down
25 Desember is my birthday, this is the first song, I heard on this special day
Happy Birthday👍
"You're the closest to heaven that i'll ever be" goshhh
Prefer and ya bleed just to know you're alive! Song has wicked under tones.
Yep^^>
Hurts.
Truely made in heaven
@@NZsupreme420 For Sure my favorite as well, heck the whole lyrics is my fave ^-^
You know when a song is so good it brings you to tears.
I also challenge you to listen to 'Dance with my Father' or 'More than Words' & not have tears in your eyes also

Sameeee
This song is literally a masterpiece
This song makes me think about a special girl now
lol It was a shit in the 90’s. 🤦♀️
To say the least
agreed. The guitar tuning is from another planet
Not literally..... this is the greatest haunting love ballad ever composed
My mom is the biggest reason i absolutely love this band. She is now dancing in heaven listening to them and watching me teach my daughter who they are and all the bands she thought me. Thank you Goo Goo Dolls for making this amazing song because it reminds me of her and all the memories i have with her.
Words cannot describe the sheer joy and happiness I feel when I think about having such an amazing fan like you. Your unwavering support fills my heart with gratitude, and I cannot thank you enough for being a part of my journey.
❤❤❤❤❤

These won’t be played in heaven though 😮😅
May she rock on in peace,hugs

Nostalgia is one of gods greatest blessings, it lets us feel for just a moment what it feels like when life is perfect
This is the last song me & brother listened to before he died on a plane. This song will forever hold a place in my heart
I am so very sorry for your loss, God bless him and may God always be with you to bring you strength and comfort. All being said in respect of your own personal beliefs.

Feel Sorry For You Brother, I Know Your Brother Smilling In Heaven Now.
😭😭 I hope you are okay
Sorry to hear it
this song has always been so special to me, I can't help but get super emotional listening to this even now. I remember listening to this when I was twelve, sobbing, thinking I'd never make it to fourteen, but here I am, eighteen and going strong. It's saved my life more times than I'd like to admit over the years and I'll forever be grateful that this song exists. I'm getting a soundwave of this song tattooed over my self harm scars soon. Thank you.
I’m glad you’re still here! You’re here for a reason, keep fighting the good fight. I’m proud of you.
Im happy that your here with us
i just want you to know that your not alone and that your loved!
damn bro,good luck in life
Did the same for me 20 years ago. Still does to this day. Keep going
Dude same here I technically shouldn’t be here it’s a miracle I’m alive today this song has helped me in tough times as well stay strong brother keep fighting because people really do care about you
I was 18 when this song came out. Now I'm 42 and this song hits on a different level. Amazing tune.
Yeah, I'm of a rather similar age and know exactly what you mean. When I was a teen it hit the angst button, a few years later and it became a melancholy nostalgia. These days it's a pure truth in musical format, there's a bottomless depth of wisdom in those words, along with the sweetest pain. Undoubtedly one of the greatest songs ever written.
i absolutely love how music can bring people from all generations together. i just turned 18 in october and this is one of my favourite songs.
With age comes wisdom!
Crazy how time flies dude.
Same here!
I am 43,and I came here because the memory of the tune never left me
December 2024 anyone?? 🥹 love this song always have brings back so much happy memories thank you goo goo dolls
Yup right here
7th December 2024
A message to the future generation: Keep these masterpieces alive. The pure emotions the lyrics evoke. Keep them alive. Live love and smile.

shut the actual fuck up. these copy pasta piss are so old. this is why youtube comments are the lowest in all social media
Ameen
its 2022 and i still love it
Wasnt even alive when this came out but I love it :] we’ll try
My favorite song of all time. The opening guitar is unmistakable, and that chorus absolutely hits it home. A timeless classic in every sense of the word.
Black balloon as well .
Yessir, I'm 16 and absolutely love this song and this band.
But the mandolin part played by Tim pierce is what get the music to another level

Hi I Recommend a song called 'The Bond Villain' by Robert Nix
We have something in common man
I was a 17 year-old girl, watching City of Angels in the theater by myself and this song played. It said everything I couldn't, and it's forever a part of my soul. Fast forward 25 years, and I'm going to finally see the Goo Goo Dolls live tomorrow 😍 Thank you for being such a special part of so many lives!
Thats amazing! What a cool story. Have a great time at the concert
I hope you enjoyed the concert
Hope you had a wonderful time :)
I think it says everything that many of us can't. Totally agree with you.
The band still performs? Id love to go to one of their concerts one day!!
Some songs are just timeless, and say the words you feel but can really express
For the people who keep asking if we're still listening. We NEVER stopped.

My wife walked down to this song at our wedding 10 years ago. This song means so much to both of us. It has helped us both get through some tough times. And Iris just reminds us that sometimes all we have is each other and we’ve got each other’s backs. Here’s to 10 more years and beyond, babe. I love you. ❤️
This is perfect :D
awww
Only the best to both of you! Stay healthy and romantic

I worked security last for their performance in Ridgeport Ct. These guys are genuinely really good guys, very respectful coming in asking how we(the workers) are doing and starting conversations with us, till they packed up to go, they continued to brace us for doing our job and holding it down . Much much much respects and to the people of Connecticut, very nice people out there
Great to hear that.❤

This song will never be old, this is gold.
I feel sorry for the people who didn't grow up with this song. This is pure nostalgic bliss.
Facts!!!!
everyone has a time, every time has a person.
Freaking A yes!
This song is Satanic plain and simple. It is a song about the singer wanting a spirit to enter himself as he says "and I don't want the world to see me as I don't think that they'd understand" why is it that he doesn't want the world to see him???? Please don't tell me you think this was a lyric about a woman lol you'd want the world to know you thought about your girl right??? He is talking about wanting to be possessed and that he knows sooner or later it's over (his life once the spirit is done with him).....it's a dark evil song made to hide in plain sight. Sorry but things aren't what they seem. But carry on.
Also, he keeps looking through the one eyed lense of the telescope.....one eye is showing one eyes is looking through into "space" notice also that there are no women in this video......because again he is NOT talking about a woman or love he is talking about the spirit he is trying to summon via this song. He is telling you who is talking to and what he is apart of via the imagery in the video. Wake up.
It's a beautiful song, you MUST listen to it with the person you love most ❤
'Iris' is a freakin emotional rollercoaster, man! You can practically feel every word Johnny Rzeznik sings deep in your bones. And those guitar riffs? PURE magic. Whether you're belting it out in your car or letting it hit you in the feels at home, Iris is one of those tracks that just gets better every time you hear it. It's like it's got its own little spot in your heart, yk???!!!
Agreed, I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing to listen too when I'm drinking.
It brings tears up sometimes, because it's so close to "home"
Very true💕
Nah its too cheesy and cliche of a song to come off as authentic and impactful. If you want this type of music but with more edge and actual impact, listen to Creed; much better guitar tone and riffs (surely Tremonti is way better than some singer guy who looks like, well, a doll), better voice and lyrics.
@@Henry14arsenal2007Radiohead better than crewd

Dec 2020 , and Im still listening to this WONDERFUL SONG
🏴🏴
me too i love this song🤟😍😈🤘
wow, me too:)
same. peace from ireland
I never left since the day I discover this song
idk why but every time i hear this song on the radio, my heart just breaks. the emotion is strong & everlasting
That means you can feel the song.... And that's good, friend....
Not your fault....real emotion.... Recognize real emotion. I'm at the point where that's all that matters...no one control's it...just ourselves. This song gets
20 out of 10 when it comes to epic emotion.
True!! I get chills too whenever I revisit this masterpiece ❤️🙌🏻
Seriously, same here. Heard this in a grocery store a few days ago, for the first time in at least a decade, and it's been in my head ever since. The lyrics ended up being rather close to heart, after a thorough listen, in a way that they weren't at all when this came out when I was in High School in 1998.
Bapak kau
You have a good music taste if you're still listening to this
You too!
Definetly
You also do!
This is kinda my mental break-down song
Thanks :)
love you my guy
glad to hear >,
Sorry for my bad English, but when I hear songs that I grow up, I'm feeling a joy that grows up in those years and brings me a sadness too that years will not come back
To the next generation , please don’t let this masterpiece die.
We're here, sir. We'll never ever let it be, no chance.
We wont
This song is in good hands we got it from here🫡
We wont and thats a promise
Boring every comment on every song is the same
We don’t search for old songs..
we search for old memories.
I'm 23 years old, i never heard this song in my life before until last month, since then I've been hooked. I even watched city of Angels just because of this song. I can't stop replaying this song, Iris has definitely taught me to love music again, it's been since I was 16 that I found a song and fell in love with it. A friend once told me "you can't touch music, but music can touch you." I understand that now. Thank you Goo Goo Dolls! ♥
🎉🎉🎉🎉
I've heard this music when I was like 5. I'm 16 about to turn 17 in a month 😭
Wow that is insane that you have not heard this until now, this was a hit when you were little kid, this is childhood staple for me.

One of my fav. songs... the moments when you realise that love and life are complicated. His voice echoes the struggles we feel, to lay bare our inner self.... for love, for another or on paper.❤ Would have loved to been there when they were recording it!
Oh man. When music makes you ache with feelings .... bring me back to the 90’s. Where you bleed just to know you’re alive.
You mean before automation?
sigh, same here. music takes you right back to those precious intangible moments you ache for.

Theoretically smell is more evocative, as it's buried in the hindbrain, but really it's music. Some single notes evoke a whole song and then a whole memory.

"You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be, and I don't want to go home right now"

This song sends shivers down my spine. Deep down I can relate and the line “I don’t want the world to see me, I don’t think they’d understand” hits like a train. I am socially anxious, and afraid to be myself. I love the song so much but it also hurts to listen to it

The nostalgia I feel hearing some of these songs. I can’t even explain how much I miss being a kid in the 90s.
These songs made me feel like I was in love with somebody that I hadn’t even met yet
Ditto
Perfect way to sum up the 90s. Best time to be growing up. I'm 35 now, was about 12 when this song came out. How I miss those days. But really happy with current time only because I'm married to a wonderful woman.

I listen to mostly 90s and 2000s, especially while I'm at work. I'm 24, so I wasn't teenager when songs like these were popular. I didn't even hear them that often as a kid. However, I can see myself getting nostalgic for these once time passes, as they've helped me get through busy days and lazy hours.
@@kenyaholloway-reliford8213 I'm 18 and I feel the exact same way about old music. Sometimes when I listen to songs that were popular before I was even born, I feel nostalgic as if I used to listen to them all the time when it's in fact the first time I'm hearing about them.
It's both weird and beautiful, and for some reason it makes me feel human again

I don’t think a lot of people understand what this song is about, it’s about knowing the one for you is out there, you know who they are, you know they’re somewhere, you have a picture perfect reflection of who they are in your mind, yet you don’t know where they are, and they don’t know where you are. But you both know, god you both know you’re out there. God I really need that person right now.
I feel the exact same way. I always feel...I don't know, something about this song 😭😭 bit's of deja Vu. Maybe your the one😂🤭🤭
Thanks good to know...
hang in there buddy
I disagree. I think its about someone wanting to show themselves to one person and be loved unconditionally but theyve held back showing their true self their whole life and dont know how to be that person with the person they love.
The song was written for the movie the City of Angels. An angel must jump off a building to bleed to make himself alive to be with a woman that couldn't truly see him until then. So in that case the songs true meaning is that an infinite and protected nothing is worth less than a short emotional something. I think whats great about this song though is not knowing what it is about. I hadn't learned why John wrote this until recently, and its helped me for so long before then. It can carry so many touching emotional meanings that are so helpful to so many of us.
I legit swell up when i hear this.... i think about being younger.... when i met my oldest daughters mom.... the years.... the bliss..... everything that came so quick that we at one point only thought that wouldnt. Life is nuts man.......... wow
I really think this is one of the greatest love songs ever written
the words are amazing
Agreed
Amen 🙏
Kkkkk me o jk
That's sad
"Run to the water" by Live is my personal favorite. The song has amazing lyrics
When I turned 17, i had to stay at my grandpa's house and this song was being played on the radio, so my grandma, who doesn't speak any English at all (I'm Mexican), let alone understand this music, turned up the volume for me to listen. She just said: "these are the kind of songs you like, aren't they?"
Fortunately she's still to be with me in this world for a long time.
Ooh, idk why but this made me cry
@@lovelynicholas_2007sure you do
Awww thats precious. Brought tears to my eyes. I miss my granny.
I was 18 when this song came out. I was living with my granny.
@CoralandSOLO No thank you
After listening to this band for the last 20 years I finally saw them live tonight, the entire show was incredible. Iris was truly emotional, there is something about this song that is indescribable, soul touching really. Just an unbelievable show.
Wow, amazing!
That's so awesome!
Nah

Fire!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is my best friends favorite song, she is currently suffering from leukemia and whenever I hear this song I cry a little, thank you goo goo dolls♥
If music was the breath of life. This song would be oxygen.
Well said
Beautiful comment
it is a song that kind of takes you into the darkness or lonelynes of your own psyche. and it does illustrate the way a lot of teens were in the 90's
💯💯💯
The crazy part is you're right
Hi I recommend a song called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
I miss this kind of music style.. Even though I was born in 2000's I still love to hear this 90's songs.
CGV Taehyung oppa omg same
I'd be honored if some GooGoo's & 90s fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performance of their first big hit NAME on my YT channel in tribute to the masters. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and peace out.
I love acoustic music than the original music. Idk but it gives me peace of mind and take away the stress every time I listen to it.also the old songs,I really love those.sometimes, people around me especially those who were the same age as mine kept telling me 'hey, what kind of music of is that. It's too old .youre still in your mother's womb at that time that song were made so why listen to it. ' instead of answering those nonsense words,I just shrugged and smile.
Then I ask myself ,what's wrong with that it's still called music.
Nevermind me... Hahaha
Same me from 07
I know that feeling...
This vibe, this energy, this feeling. THIS is exactly what the current broken world needs right now. 💔
