I think it's because of the memories of listening to these bands throughout the day more. I remember when U2's beautiful day would play on my moms stereo came on and it was really beautiful outside, sun shining, partly cloudy, 80 degrees and not a worry in my head. just me being a kid and cloud gazing while thinking on what I wanted to do next.
My mom use to call her sister Marlene, Marlena. I always think of my Tia when I hear this song. She's passed on but her memory is timeless just like this song.
Absolutely agree with you there. Being a 70's baby, I have always loved Bob Dylan's creative and musical genius. That same energy flows through his son. Very underrated band.
Well, people love hyperbole, don't we? He is great Jakob, no doubt, wrote some fantastc songs. But "just as talented as his dad", haha no. That's way too difficult.
@@jb111082 Funny you mention that, when another commenter mentioned 6th Avenue Heartache. There's a theory that the line "The same black line that was drawn on you was drawn on me," is symbolic for music calling Jakob the same way it called his father.
@@rpmangin I've heard that before, and I tend to believe that. If you've ever heard Three Marlanas, then you can REALLY hear his father coming out in him. Just the way he sings that song.
Hello, I belong to the generation of the 80s and 90s where this musical genre was split for great artists. My youth treats you listening to this. It was successful and today is a beautiful memory. I'm Hugo from Argentina, Catamarca and I love this band, it hurts that I'm far away and I only have this way to congratulate them. Thank you for existing and delighting my ears. Total Thanks
This is one of my favorite rifts of all time. I love the way the song flows. A very simple song but the message is clear and the notes resonate through your spirit. Reminds me of my life in the 90's.
Never seen before. Back then I wrote a christian song inspired in the sound of this song. Completely different song but I wrote it imagining this people singing the song in the same style. I'm not even a songwriter neither a musician not even a singer. I wrote poetry even I was young.The song was pretty good, and a musician friend asked me to let him include it in his first album. It was a little hit on the old mp3.com site. So thanks for the inspiration, Wallflowers!
I was in a hardware store today and heard my name being sung in a song. I thought I was imagining it so listened carefully and sure enough, so came home and googled it and listened, nice voice.
The lyrics are taken literally to indicate each of the song's verses focusing on a different character. The description of the first character is of an individual who seeks attention ("she only went and did what she did so he would drive her home then"); the second of an individual who wishes for stability & security (she wishes for a husband and a job); and the third, of an individual who values freedom ("I'm headed out on that highway/I'm goin' right out of state"). The three seemingly dissimilar selves are unified in the chorus. 0 7 months ago
+Lorie Russell Unfortunately, you are incorrect. This song is clearly about the savings and loan scandals in the first verse, the second verse is about how movies today are more about violence and making money than to get people to think and to improve upon ourselves. The 3rd verse is about Donald Trump running for President in 2016 and the bands support for his ambitions, while simultaneously bashing Obama and his performance over the past 7 years. These are undeniable scientific facts, and can't be disputed. :D lol
I grew up in Baptist church. I was baptized at 12 and sang in a youth choir for several years. Reiki opened me to the aspect of spirituality. My thoughts on the Bible. I am aware of how many books were not included and am aware that there is much more to the story. All religions contain a piece of the puzzle.
One of my sisters was obsessed about the Wallflowers when I was a kid. I've heard this song so many times, yet I'm embarrassed to say I've never seen the video before. This isn't my favorite Wallflowers song or video, but it is the song I always think about when thinking about the band or when I remember how gorgeous Jakob Dylan is. Wow, he is the perfect man. Good build. Beautiful face. Appropriate amount of chest fur. THOSE EYES & EYEBROWS MAKE ME MELT. Yep, I'm proud to be a 90s kid.
I knew your dad would nt go get that silly #NobelPrize #Congrats2BobDylan for this huge success ... Your people love you...and your poetry, music and of course #TheTravellingWillburys which I grew up on...and now we have #JacobDylan yes, pls #JacobDylan I need this cd back...sounds gr8 on my stereo system..and I miss it in my collection AGAIN!!! Thank You!!!
It's funny how memories work, I'm a 90's kid and satellite radio guy, but I don't think I heard or thought of this song in literally 12+ years. Someone mentioned it so I looked it up, and remembered the melody and almost every word. Had it not been brought up, I doubt I ever would have thought of it again.
I love this group and dushwalla and STP. So many fond memories of someone i was going to spend the rest of my life with but he passed away in 2012 and im never going to look for another of him as long as i still have my music and memories. This music was tte best and one could understand what the song was saying.
Without him, definitely mystic, thanks goodness for her our own dreams, I wouldn't trade anything for them, what would I know, so beyond thankful for peace ❤️ 😊 🙏 😍💚
I think me and my brother are the only people in our county that know about Wallflowers. And I can't understand why, they are great, and this is the best 2-chords song I've ever listened to.
[Verse 1] Alone tonight in somebody's bed She gone and dyed her hair red She only went and did what she did Cause he would drive her home then There's lipstick on her new dress She hadn't even paid yet But it doesn't matter where the money went It wasn't how she paid her rent [Chorus 1] One, two, three Marlenas There's got to be someone we can trust Out here among us [Verse 2] Now lookin' out across the city lights She thought they'd be a good pair Now he could make a living sellin' cars Maybe she could work there She's gonna pick a star in the night And pray to make it all right She tried so hard not to pick a kite She always prayed to heaven lights [Chorus 1] [Chorus 2] One, two, three Marlenas It's see no, speak no, hear no evil about us The three Marlenas [Verse 3] Man, I think I'm gonna buy myself a Rolls Maybe a Chevrolet One where I can pull that top down Just let my radio play Now I'm headin' out on that highway I'm goin' right out of state Now I ain't lookin' back until I'm gone Right through heaven's gates [Chorus 1] [Chorus 2] [Fade-out] Three Marlenas Three Marlenas
Jakob had such an effortless grace to his singing..... I always see people in the comments mistake his nonchalant stage mannerisms for laziness but he just makes it look too easy.
@@badreligionbomb I loved Dead Kennedys back in the day when I was a kid and too young to realize that DK wouldn't have existed without artists like Lou Reed influencing them.
I think I Did know what Love was back then...wow. Now this lost man has lost so much that I spend my days alone and wear 1 ear bud. for hours on end ( glisten to tv or life with my other ear. Lol.. Been that way 3 years.... Damn Changes ! God bless you all. ✨❤
There are still bands that can sell out arenas. I'm not sure about that in the US, but in Europe and other countries, it still happens. For instance, in Brazil, where I live, Guns, Bon Jovi, Roxette, U2, they sell out here!
For some reason jakob taking that fish out of his pocket towards the end of the video really stuck with me. Haven't seen this video since I was a child and I was waiting to see that.
I grew up in Mpls. Mn my little sister used to rave about the Wallflowers… I had the extreme crush on his father..here it is 2021. My little sister Diana has passed on :(.. from Crohns..and I still haven’t met Bob.. xoxo
I wasn't sure I would get the opportunity to share this song/music video, but luckily it looks like I am going to be able to today! :-) This was the 3rd and last song that they released in 1997 and also the very last Wallflowers song that I know of at all if my memory is correct. I think this was my 2nd favorite Wallflowers song of all time next to "One Headlight". I liked the music video too - very much effort and special effects put into this music video! :-) I don't know why they didn't come back with more music after 1997? - they were an awesome band with chart-topping music to boot! I'd sure like to also see them come back together for another hit song too. :-) #THEWALLFLOWERSTHREEMARLENAS
Is it just me or does the 90s era seem to always remind you of summer, Whether it was grunge, pop, or rock. Interesting yet amazing!
Class 1980.
Dude you’re so right.
I never thought about it, but you're right.
Yes absolutely. Good times. And Damn he's still so easy on eyes. Actually better than easy! I'm too old now too think that
It was always summer in the 90s
I think it's because of the memories of listening to these bands throughout the day more. I remember when U2's beautiful day would play on my moms stereo came on and it was really beautiful outside, sun shining, partly cloudy, 80 degrees and not a worry in my head. just me being a kid and cloud gazing while thinking on what I wanted to do next.
I'm 70 and think this song is great. Tonight is a sit back with a joint and listen to music night!!!
Fogo na erva
You are so right. SmokeN a big fatty and just let your mind go back in time and remember those happy days with the one you loved.
💯❤️✌️
Will be 71 in October and will be seeing these guys live at an outdoor venue July 18th...and I'll have plenty of doobies rolled up for the evening..!
Pass it this way
Wallflowers are sounding good. 1 2 3 Marlena's, absolutely awesome🎉
He definitely has his fathers voice and definitely can write lyrics like his dad could wish the wallflowers had put out more great 🎶🎵🌞😊
So incredibly underrated. I listened to this CD constantly as a kid. Listening while I dye my hair red 😊
Absolutely one of my all time favorites! I remember buying this CD for Christmas in 1997. LOVE IT!!
This song was pretty big back then its really good
Such a solid album!
Bob raised a good artist son. Love this song reminds me of bob
He didn't raise him much. He stayed with his mother. He was 8 when they divorced. They did stay in contact.
Yeah, I was about to say, he did get his pretty boy genetics tho!
My mom use to call her sister Marlene, Marlena. I always think of my Tia when I hear this song. She's passed on but her memory is timeless just like this song.
the 90s was the end of great music ,a rt, movies etc.
im glad i got to grow up then and see it live. 2000s to present has nothing on the 90s
Early 2000’s had some great music as well but that’s it. Garbage now.
@@323johnnybravo Really has been hit and miss ( mostly miss) the last 20 years
Just as talented as his dad, not sure as to why The Wallflowers didn't progress as a group. Great album!
Absolutely agree with you there. Being a 70's baby, I have always loved Bob Dylan's creative and musical genius. That same energy flows through his son. Very underrated band.
His dad stopped writing their songs.😊
Well, people love hyperbole, don't we? He is great Jakob, no doubt, wrote some fantastc songs. But "just as talented as his dad", haha no. That's way too difficult.
Pretty much a lifetime night: saw him and Lindsey Buckingham with Christine McVie. Murphys CA 2019?
I would argue he's better than his dad.
Horribly underrated.
Agreed!
Jakob played this at a private event because I told him it was my favorite song in high school. I also got a picture with him. Dude is awesome sauce.
I couldn’t stop listening to this song I remember that I was hooked
love Jakob's writing. He could be a book poet. Fabulous record from beginning to end. A true must have in any music library, imo.
6th Avenue Heartache was a poem he wrote when he was 19.
What did you expect, he's the son of Bob Dylan.
@@jb111082 Funny you mention that, when another commenter mentioned 6th Avenue Heartache. There's a theory that the line "The same black line that was drawn on you was drawn on me," is symbolic for music calling Jakob the same way it called his father.

Jakob Dylan was and still is gorgeous! Love his lips and eyes!
Holy hell yesssss I TOTALLY agree👀😯
Those eyes and that voice hypnotized me every time!❤
I love His eyes blue..hmmm so sexy...
@@ruthsanty708 take a cold shower omg
@@marksmith5696 it,s just a trick because he doesn't take a real cold shower
Thank God I only have one Marleina. If I had three I would run away from home forever.
I see the gift that God gave me. You are the most beautiful man on the planet. Now that's a gift.
I will treasure you always.
I won't be able to stop staring.
i forgot how much i loved this song as a teenager.....and after all these years it still holds up better than all the crap that modern bands play
Indeed
Awesome ❤. He has his daddy's eyes and his mother's lips.
this song & CD were instant classics ... punch their ticket into the Hall of Fame
Good band but that's never going to happen
he has such a beautiful and distinctive voice and look
Kate Faraday still does! :)
Bob Dylan is his father.
Yes old devil worshipping, soul selling old creep Bob Dylan is his Daddy...
*she's gonna pick a star in the night and pray to make it alright*
love that line
Brother you are absolutely right the 90s rocked music, partying, and the ladies you find that time machine pick me up so I can do it all over again 🤟🤟
There's great music ,then there's great music that inspires; This body of work is very inspiring. The album is so well done.
Wow, the 90s !!! I loved it then, and love it more now...

One of my all time favorites from the wallflowers.
I love the 90s to death and am a huge Wallflowers fan; I don't understand how this song doesn't have more views. Oh well, more for us!
Lol I even bought the CD from BMG
you brought me back. I'm still a fan. You?@@user-iq5zn6rg9i
Underrated music
Yup.
late 90s alternative ..... best ever
This is one of my favorite rifts of all time. I love the way the song flows. A very simple song but the message is clear and the notes resonate through your spirit. Reminds me of my life in the 90's.
+Marc Abramsky Sounds a bit like the riff from Be My Lover, by Alice Cooper.
+Marc Abramsky DITO!!!!

I started listening to The Wallflowers when I was 11 years old and I still love them at 25. :)
God this era of music is and will always be the Best!!
This song was always my dad's favorite. Funnier thing: Marlena is my name....
kairi1441namine Most sensible thing I've read all day.
+kairi1441namine YOU'RE LUCKY TO HAVE THAT NAME IT''S SO BEAUTIFUL. I NAMED MY SON JAKOB AFTER HIM!
+Lapis Mosi Well thank you! I've been told it's so unique and how beautiful it is. My dad had the idea to name me that when I was born.
+matambale lol! 😁
kairi1441namine my name too! I'm 46 and was much younger (obviously) when this came out. I thought it was such a strange name to be used in a song.
I was in a hardware store today and heard my name being sung in a song. I thought I was imagining it so listened carefully and sure enough, so came home and googled it and listened, nice voice.
His voice is absolutely amazing...I love it...still listening in 2020... love u wallflowers.....
What about Tom Petty?
Yep!!! Still listening in 2023!!!
just missing/thinking of the 90's today...
This song make me feel so relaxed. It's magic.

I've gotta be honest ..... never really paid attention to the verses, just the chorus. And your observation cannot be more right. Great job.
Jeffrey Glebe I love it. You can't take life too seriously man.
My name is Marlena. I was in high school when this song came out, and I also just colored my hair red. I felt like he was singing about me.
He's talking about 3 different women. Great song
As long as you thought that he was singing about you then you have to believe he was what an absolutely wonderful song 🌞😊🎵🎶🎸
He has the most beautiful eyes.
in whole world
I agree...beautiful voice too. Better than Dads
.
Agree...
His eyes looks like his mother's eyes...Sara Dylan.
So talented we need more music from him.
Such a beautiful face at 1:09 and throughout the video. 😍
Love his voice, too. 🥰
Good genes! mom & dad gorgeous.💕

People fighting over which one is supreme. It's ridiculous and not of Love.
There are many pathways to source. Anything less would be boring.
i just bought this album and every song is just absolutely amazing.....i could just listen to it all day=]=]
I think he has an awesome voice...I hope they keep making music....
love to hear the voice of this man!!!
I absolutely love his voice. That's why i love this band.

I was just reminded of this song. 1997 was a pivotal
My favorite Wallflowers video! Now he won't even sing it in concert anymore! He said it was always a crappy song!
It’s my favorite song too!! I was hoping to hear it live… maybe he’ll change his mind! 🤞🏻🤞🏻
@@just__jess2 I have tickets to see him in three different cities this summer. I'm hoping he changes his mind too!
He is so beautiful and his voice is so special
Was. This video is from years ago.
exactly
I gown up in the 90's it was awesome time, peace and full of youthful love, and freedom at less on the west coast.
Nuthin beats the 90's
It's funny how memories work, I'm a 90's kid and satellite radio guy, but I don't think I heard or thought of this song in literally 12+ years. Someone mentioned it so I looked it up, and remembered the melody and almost every word. Had it not been brought up, I doubt I ever would have thought of it again.
absolutely love this amazing song
Gorgeous man. One Headlight forever
His face is so hypnotizing - those eyes - I just can't look away. And then his voice...[SIGH]
I love this group and dushwalla and STP. So many fond memories of someone i was going to spend the rest of my life with but he passed away in 2012 and im never going to look for another of him as long as i still have my music and memories. This music was tte best and one could understand what the song was saying.
Soooo handsome!!! I can see the young Bob Dylan in his face
I like surprises. Everything is shown to me at the exact time I need to see.
i miss the 90's
The Walflowers scream the 90s! And I LOVE IT!!!!
Tantos anos sem escutar essa música e do nada o nome dela veio na minha cabeça.. e aqui estou eu matando a saudade.
Minha esposa ama essa banda e com isso comecei a gostar tbem. Hoje ouvimos sempre.
Idem!!!!!!
Essa música é uma das minhas preferidas do Wallflowers. Adoro a letra e a melodia.
Essa música nunca saiu da minha cabeça
Without him, definitely mystic, thanks goodness for her our own dreams, I wouldn't trade anything for them, what would I know, so beyond thankful for peace ❤️ 😊 🙏 😍💚
I love the bass riffs on this song but especially at 3:30, great song.
Wallflowers for sure were underrated
Wish a time machine exists so I can relive the 90s. I miss my childhood.
Looking good Billy Ray...
Feeling good Louis....
I miss my 20's! Great time great music!
music can help with that for sure. that's how i time travel.
no it was good a good learning curve it take into 2020 it was me relation wise found my wife in 2001 been together ever since.
I miss my 30s😭
Jan 2019 and I am still listening to this song...
I think me and my brother are the only people in our county that know about Wallflowers. And I can't understand why, they are great, and this is the best 2-chords song I've ever listened to.
[Verse 1]
Alone tonight in somebody's bed
She gone and dyed her hair red
She only went and did what she did
Cause he would drive her home then
There's lipstick on her new dress
She hadn't even paid yet
But it doesn't matter where the money went
It wasn't how she paid her rent
[Chorus 1]
One, two, three Marlenas
There's got to be someone we can trust
Out here among us
[Verse 2]
Now lookin' out across the city lights
She thought they'd be a good pair
Now he could make a living sellin' cars
Maybe she could work there
She's gonna pick a star in the night
And pray to make it all right
She tried so hard not to pick a kite
She always prayed to heaven lights
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]
One, two, three Marlenas
It's see no, speak no, hear no evil about us
The three Marlenas
[Verse 3]
Man, I think I'm gonna buy myself a Rolls
Maybe a Chevrolet
One where I can pull that top down
Just let my radio play
Now I'm headin' out on that highway
I'm goin' right out of state
Now I ain't lookin' back until I'm gone
Right through heaven's gates
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]
[Fade-out]
Three Marlenas
Three Marlenas
It runs in the family
He is literally stunning.
this is one of my all time favorite songs
Mine too!
here too ...
out of all the wallflowers/jacob solo cds/songs this has always been my fav as well
Great voice Jakob is a musical genius like his father
i love this song won my first Prom Tennis Title with this winning song in 1999 as a teenager i miss the 90s as a person
Before our phones took over our lives. We just freaking lived in the moment.
Jakob had such an effortless grace to his singing..... I always see people in the comments mistake his nonchalant stage mannerisms for laziness but he just makes it look too easy.
the beggining of this song, Three Marlenas, is exactly the same as Sweet Jane from Lou Reed! I never noticed that until just now!
Lou Reed blows
@@badreligionbomb I loved Dead Kennedys back in the day when I was a kid and too young to realize that DK wouldn't have existed without artists like Lou Reed influencing them.

God how is a man so beautiful I have no idea
+Paris Roxy his Dad : )

Your completely wrong, dude
Paris Roxy Bob Dylan breeded with a lovely woman. thats how
Symmetry is an attraction
Wish these guys did a lot more. Great band
excellent song ....The Wallflowers should have been huge...like the Rolling stones
What happened to them?
There are still bands that can sell out arenas. I'm not sure about that in the US, but in Europe and other countries, it still happens. For instance, in Brazil, where I live, Guns, Bon Jovi, Roxette, U2, they sell out here!
I miss you Dave! You were a 90"s guy! RIP my son...I listen to the 90's channel and think of you...and this song came on...love & miss you.... Mom
I was listening to their song One Headlight and this song popped in my head. I had to listen to it.
For some reason jakob taking that fish out of his pocket towards the end of the video really stuck with me. Haven't seen this video since I was a child and I was waiting to see that.
