Yes. It was. Praise be to God. For the lessons learned. For the optimism for the future. It’s almost been 30 years. May you have as many years in your life like the one I had that year when I turned 18 and my whole future was ahead of me. And fear not… when I hear it, I remember… it still is. 👊😊
I was 15 depressed and full of psychotic rage. But then the girl I really liked and i got together after a 15 month complex courtship, and her gentle kind nature really cured a lot and taught me how to love. Ironically, her fam got a computer and was my first &largest exp with... WINDOWS 95. What a sing along
Definitely "kills". Melodically (for me), it gives me feelings of leaving behind all that pains me and looking & moving forward towards the positivity of the unknown, unforeseen, and endless possibilities, and I can feel the barbs & hooks of past negative life experiences ripping out of me (this brings mild tears) as I continue moving forward. It's bittersweet and comforting. I was a little younger in 1995, myself (high school junior).
I graduated from high school in 95. It's only now, so many years later, that I realize how great it was growing up in the 90's. This such an awesome song.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate that at 3:31 Molly sings out of beat and she still kept it in the video. That's a slice of warm humanity cutting through the cool melancholy of this song and it adds something special to it.
I graduated high school and set out to college in 1995. You have literally no idea how I feel this in my soul. No. Earthly. Idea…. Unless you do. And if you do, thank the Holy Spirit. He’s blessed you as He has blessed me. 🕊️
Эх, Молли, Молли, ваши голубые глаза пронзили мое сердце ! Написал какой то поэт 19 века, так и моя голова слетела с катушек от этого клипа, музыка и ваша харизма удачно гармонируют друг с другом, не грусти Молли ты слишком самокритична к себе, побольше радости.
I miss the 90s very deeply. I was 6 years old and in Kindergarten in 1995. Those were the best times ever. Now I'm going on 28. If I could turn back time, I'd go back to 1995.
@@nolimit6377 Yes! The light of that inner child is still with you, so make him happy. Better than feeding your dark side with negative stimuli at least.
@@nolimit6377 It isn't just about recapturing lost youth. The 90s were better in so many ways, especially compared to now. No social media, good music. And people weren't such narcissistic posers. People actually did stuff, not just pretend to do things to take photos for instagram. Cassettes and videos, toys, cartoons etc. Was the last decent decade...
I was 2 but I still felt this song. What a fucking time to be alive. I envy those who could be young adults at the time. I feel bad for those who will not understand what life was pre 2000s
Crazy how the detached grace of her voice makes me feel warm and nostalgic. Top shelf lyrics and phrasing too, girl knows how to write a hook that crushes.
I saw her live in spring of 2019 when I was going through a lot of positive changes. Seeing her was so much fun. It was such an experience to bop along to this song. I will remember that moment. So pleasant to find myself in that space. Maybe it helped cement some of the quiet joy I was experiencing.
I remember 1994,and I have wroten a novel of that year, and so lucky I am, that it will be published, yeaaaahhhhh. Good song Molly, our generation ist the best.
@@paulcarney7748 i meant that I dont like to exist hah so by that time, when I didn't exist, it was cool. Nowadays we have access to that material tho, so I didn't actually _miss it_ ✨
Nobody can compete with a long dead lover, Jon you've been gone 19 years now,I regret turning you away through my pride and because of my mistake I destroyed my own life.
Her eyes are insane. Also, I like how she makes her voice like this, a lot of artists attempt a sort of nostalgic distortion as part of some trend but usually sound pretty terrible. Molly does something really cool with it however.
Nostalgia is dangerous and that is why I like it - live dangerous - nostalgic and romantic - omg so many pomo-ists triggered? But I remember 1995 - I remember analog world, omg what have we done ;)
OmG she's sooo beautiful ❤️ that last shot when the backdrop is pitch black and her pop of blonde hair , piercing blue eyes with a pop of red lipstick 💄 geeesh
OMG i'm actually making it to thirty years old on the sixth day of the year!!!!!! shoutout to all the 95 babies making it to thirty this year but especially all the ones that didn't
This song destroys me and puts me back together again in the same instant. Words can't express how much this resonates with my fragile, communication-age soul.
I'm usually not a lyrics person but dadgum does this one get to me. Maybe it's cause 1995 was a bit of a tumultuous year in my own childhood. Maybe it's all of the home movies playing in the background ending with the graveside shot - powerful song, bravo.
Saw her in Brighton at a gig she was going to play at, I said I was looking forwards to hearing her sing as she has a lovely voice. She looked at me like I was an idiot and walked off lol
I'm feeling the scar on my right ring finger that I cut in the spring 1995. It was a small cut from a broken glass while washing dishes, but the scar is very visible. "I remember 1995." Goosebumps.
Looking closer, it seems that headstone has her last name upon it, family name that is. Who can imagine? She is definitely a class act, cheers from San Francisco to all the world😌
I made a comment about 2 or 3 months ago & came back today just to make sure it's not stolen or lost.... 1995 song still wonderful it hasn't change....
+Alice Needham More like 3:31 . I wouldn't dare to claim it was made on purpose if you notice her slightly embarrased smile that must have been quite a natural reaction to what had happened.

I’m sitting here in the future listening to this in 2024. I Brought 1995 with me because it’s the best year ever 👊🏻
It was dec3nt as far as social engineering and numerology goes
Yes. It was.
Praise be to God. For the lessons learned. For the optimism for the future.
It’s almost been 30 years.
May you have as many years in your life like the one I had that year when I turned 18 and my whole future was ahead of me.
And fear not… when I hear it, I remember… it still is. 👊😊
1995, I was 15 years old and hopeful. I miss those friends from back there.

@@1846tt Thanks for sharing. That age is extremely difficult to navigate, glad you made it through.
"what's wrong with living in the past? it happens to be the time I saw you last" ♥️👼🏼
It's always good to go back to this song, it really is like living in the past with this joy.
This is one of “those” special songs that happen ever so often. Beautiful and striking. I was 20 in 1995. This song kills me.
I vary bad understand and speak english, i born in 1995))

you mad?
I was 14.

"so whats wrong with living with the past? it just happen to be the place i saw you last" is the kind of line you hear and your ground falls
Q_Q
yeah
Got me good ther 😞
Wonderful 🖤 I adore this gal 🖤
O happy dagger, This is thy sheathe: there rust, and let me die.
i was 18 in 1995, I started college and my grandmother, a classmate and then my father died.
this song never gets old
This is possibly... My most favorite song ever 💖💕
"I saved all the things
That you left behind
But by now I guess I'd consider them all mine" god damn I start to tear up every time I hear it
Lost my mom to cancer in the summer of 1995, when I was 5.
Never has a song personally resonated this much.
She truly reclaims the essence of pop!
I miss 2015 way more than 95’
I graduated from high school in 95. It's only now, so many years later, that I realize how great it was growing up in the 90's. This such an awesome song.
Yes! Omg 1995 too and i just listened to this song , feels so special ty
1995 was a tough year for me but i still miss 1995

She has a little chuckle 😊😎
The song is melancholy?
@@danplocinski9273 Yes
that's remarkable
What a good year to be born
I graduated high school and set out to college in 1995.
You have literally no idea how I feel this in my soul.
No. Earthly. Idea….
Unless you do. And if you do, thank the Holy Spirit. He’s blessed you as He has blessed me. 🕊️
🦋🐸🐸🐸🦋
Beautiful song and artist
I must listen to Molly 7 nights a week.
So what's wrong with living in the past?
It just happens to be the place I saw you last.
literally just burst into tears at this
Dyllan Shoemake are you okay now?

that part murders me
cringe
I'll remember 1995 🖤
I wish I could back there. (I didn't think that at the time).
1995 the year i was born ... nice song . molly nilsson so unique ...

I was just looking for a song from the year I was born. Im not disappointed. 😮😊
"windows 95 is only a metaphor for what i feel inside" is the greatest line of 2015
And 2016
And 2017.
Greetings to you, Night Shade.
And 2783. I just popped in from the future \(^.^)/
and 2018
I just stumbled over this song 😊 luv it
I heard this song last night for the first time, it was a dj choice before Slowdive came on stage. It’s my new favourite song.
Started watching Lebanon Hanover videos and ended up here. I’m happy about this.
The song is so awesome.
It's been 20 years since 1995, time goes so fast.
My birth year =)
25 Years ago Windows 95 debuted

Ray Roark you should take time to do something 6 year old you would want you to do as an adult
@@nolimit6377 Yes! The light of that inner child is still with you, so make him happy. Better than feeding your dark side with negative stimuli at least.

This song makes me cry every damn time
I was 2 but I still felt this song. What a fucking time to be alive. I envy those who could be young adults at the time. I feel bad for those who will not understand what life was pre 2000s
It's a magical voice and look.
When a pair of blues can pierced through the soul
A blend of soothing and hauntingly melody to cradle the worries away
Crazy how the detached grace of her voice makes me feel warm and nostalgic. Top shelf lyrics and phrasing too, girl knows how to write a hook that crushes.
I miss it all.
Was already addicted to "i hope you die" now this is 1+ gem for me to keep on repeat, such an amazing artist!
Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.
I saw her live in spring of 2019 when I was going through a lot of positive changes. Seeing her was so much fun. It was such an experience to bop along to this song. I will remember that moment. So pleasant to find myself in that space. Maybe it helped cement some of the quiet joy I was experiencing.
I hope I can experience that some time. Going through a lot of negative changes and need something positive!
@@gesuyarou663 Yes I hope so! Best wishes to you :)

1995, right a year before I was born. Those were real good times.
If u was born in 96 then ok u missed a little bit of our golden era.... But molly nillson is there to remind u.. 😎☝️
@@paulcarney7748 i meant that I dont like to exist hah so by that time, when I didn't exist, it was cool. Nowadays we have access to that material tho, so I didn't actually _miss it_ ✨
Molly, wo bleibst Du? Laß bitte wieder was hören von Dir... Deine Musik ist so wunderbar... bitte mach weiter!
It’s like she encapsulated 1995 in a song. Such nostalgia. Such brilliance ❤
Summer of 95 was my favourite. I'll remember too!
I love the sound!
i'm from 1981
Dude what happened in 1995? That year is appearing over and over again.
I believe it's a kind of requiem for her mother - you see a tombstone saying Nilsson with a year 1995 on it.
@@shinji1991 K Maybe Im too egocentric but so far I ignored possible events like that.
@@BigBellyEd 2:51
this song is beyond words, amazing, contains so much emotion, makes me feel a great joy but also a familiar sadness I feel that I can truly relate to
Stitchlip76 2020 hi
The best year of my life, I was 21, I traveled around Europe with my friends, they were carefree years, lived intensely, for better or for worse..
Most inspiring musician I've encountered in quite SOME TIME
Nobody can compete with a long dead lover, Jon you've been gone 19 years now,I regret turning you away through my pride and because of my mistake I destroyed my own life.
I love her swedish looks! her eyes are amazinggggg and i also like her voice, the music sounds like the 80's
FranSunset very 80s sound yes. Excellent sound
Especially with that sax solo ending. So 80's!
balablabla, you're wrong kids, this has not much to do with 80s sound...pretty nothing..
@@playlistener1 I also don't know why they say this sounds 80s. It sounds eerie, modern, dynamic and rustic all at once. So 2010s
I cry every single time I hear this yet it brings me so much comfort too. Thank you so much, this is one of my favourite songs of all time. 🖤
these are some of the best lyrics i've ever heard...
A nostalgic introspection.
GOSH SHES BEAUTIFUL AND HER MUSIC SOUNDS AMAZING
once again thank you I think of my dear sister Molly and you make a good memory not happened
Her eyes are insane. Also, I like how she makes her voice like this, a lot of artists attempt a sort of nostalgic distortion as part of some trend but usually sound pretty terrible. Molly does something really cool with it however.
Dandy Andy clearly haven't found better music which isn't hard to do when you're given this
That's what Ariel Pink does as well. They are both fantastic.
ikr, her signing voice has a sort of 50's/60's style to it... except its more modern (the music that is).
John Maus also has some great music, same thing with Ariel Pink
@@MonoChorMe her voice reminds me of Nico, so...yeah.
I saw her in Warsaw a couple months back and no words can describe the excitement I felt
wow, I'm late at this party but this is so amazing!!
found this song when it only had like 2k views lol I'm so happy it's in the millions as of now
Song of the year. Definitely a favourite.
She has an unusual way of making unusual songs sound amazing.
She is sooo beautiful
Nostalgia is dangerous and that is why I like it - live dangerous - nostalgic and romantic - omg so many pomo-ists triggered? But I remember 1995 - I remember analog world, omg what have we done ;)
OmG she's sooo beautiful ❤️ that last shot when the backdrop is pitch black and her pop of blonde hair , piercing blue eyes with a pop of red lipstick 💄 geeesh
This nostalgia, this is what I need
Linda demais ♡
OMG i'm actually making it to thirty years old on the sixth day of the year!!!!!! shoutout to all the 95 babies making it to thirty this year but especially all the ones that didn't
This song destroys me and puts me back together again in the same instant. Words can't express how much this resonates with my fragile, communication-age soul.
I wasn't ready for these feels.
How could you 🐝? This is the real deal.
Amazing music. I've listen some 100 times between yesterday and today :)
should be an actress, she's amazing. so talented, touches one's soul.
CAn't stop watching
Finally a saxophone in a pop song.
Beautiful song and beautiful Molly ♥

This has to be played on the Minidisc player of my 1995 RX7 :D
rx7? you mean nippon BRAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPP MACHINE?
Quick! Call Techmoan and he'll organize everything, heheh :D
We thought we were standing on the precipice to the end of time…and still do.
At the start of the video we see a gravestone. So sad 'cause you know someone had to die for this beautiful song to live.
Yep, her mommy.
Also symbolic that this year has passed. It is over. The numerical distinction is no longer valid... ouch😑
"Someone had to die for this beautiful song to live"
Well put.
still a hit 8 years later i blast my speakers to you every september 11
Lovely
"Windows95 i still a metaphor for what i feel inside" is still the greatest line 2021.
She's Great
Jhosselynne McCold she stinks, check out mary ocher & Sally dige

Perfect for the beggining of 2021
If you've just discovered this song..then I'm so happy for you..do listen to Molly's other stuff, they are all great
@@dd1278 I discover her erlier but sometimes I forgot for a while and then go back again and again
Absolutely love this in early 2021
Ive listened to this about 1000000 times
Had the pleasure of seeing her live in the equivalent of a VFW bar. She was positively amazing
really was a great year
It was.
Imagine being in a relationship with this woman, watching her make this music live.
Nádherné❤
brilliant song - she has so many great song though, quite underrated!
The year I was born ❤️❤️❤️
Amo você!

Freddy Marcel-Marcum This song is about her mother’s passing.
fuking awsome lyrics...made me cry..just happend to be like 16 or so back in 95!!!
Molly Nilsson... You are just awesome for me ... Thank you soooo much for your music...!
this is the happiest sad song ive heard!
I made a comment about 2 or 3 months ago & came back today just to make sure it's not stolen or lost.... 1995 song still wonderful it hasn't change....
I like that the little mistake wasn't cut, very endearing :)
which mistake?
Wait, you mean at 3.40?
+Alice Needham More like 3:31 . I wouldn't dare to claim it was made on purpose if you notice her slightly embarrased smile that must have been quite a natural reaction to what had happened.
I agree. Most artists and producers would've said DO IT AGAIN! I'm glad they kept it. It adds a little humbleness to an already great song.
Oh god you are so right!
