It's 2024. Whenever I listen to this, it brings me back to 1999. A troubled 17 y/o with a very uncertain future. A 17 y/o who just wants to get away from everything to get my peace of mind. Brings back a lot of bittersweet memories to be honest. The line "If I could ask God just one question, why aren't You here with me tonight" still hits me so strong as if it were yesterday. Until I have moved on, I will always have this song to remind me of everything.
For me it's about my loss of my 12 year old daughter to self infliction, I remember knowing all the worfs of the New Radicals back in 2000, my daughter has been gone since 2001 Today it makes 23 years and these words speak to me. We would always listen to new radicals together and dance in our mudroom and I miss her so much so yes I am always listening to music that reminds me of her. Miss the New Radicals !!!
@@msgretrogamer Thank you, I would do the same thing with all my kids, and she loved The New Radicals, This song was on the movie " A walk to remember" which came out right about the time she died, and everyone at her school that was in the Drama club with her, would say that movie reminded them of my daughter and I can just remember dancing in the mudroom of our home feeling on top of the world with all my kids healthy and alive, and now I am here writing on songs that remind me of her, I thank you for writing
This band rejected celebrity. That's true. This did happen. Greg Alexander was sincere in his rejection of fame. IT might have costed him millions, but this dude just really didn't care. This is gem.
Yeah they did reject fame but Greg Alexander has written some fabulous songs for other stars he’s one on his own so talented miss the voice that is his though 😀
Same can be said for Alexander's song writing partner Danielle Brisebois, the two founding members of New Radicals. Both are still writing songs. A few years ago, they collaborated on a song called "Lost Stars" which was used in the feature film 'Begin Again' and was nominated for an Academy Award.
His own music label killed him off because he was outspoken and revealed how evil was the music industry. He also exposed a lot of the treason Bill and Killary did back in the days. He was labeled a conspiracy theorist at was never welcomed in Hollywood or any music labels, but he still performed solo in the early 2000s
To anyone claiming one hit wonder: please go listen to the entire album. The whole thing is a gem. Shame they didn’t want to make more music as a band. The album is still a favorite of mine after all these years.
I mean, technically they were a one-hit wonder. This song went nowhere on the charts and the album, while f*cking amazing (probably my favorite of all time to be honest), didn't generate any more singles after this one.
I totally agree with you, I brought the album back in 99 and I still have it and it still plays, one of the best albums i every brought, gregg Alexander went into writing and producing after, if he continued new radicals could of had at least 5 more major hits he wrote 3 for Ronan Keating including life is a rollercoaster and inner smile for Texes and the game of life for Santana a Grammy winner
they got tired doing tours round the clock with just few hours of sleep. They've said that's the reason why he always wear that hat.. to hide his lack of enthusiasm that he used to have.
I heard "get what you give" over and over on the radio.....it was the only song I knew of theirs for well over a decade. Picked the full album up at a thrift shop around 2010 and was absolutely blown away at just how amazing it was! Such a solid album from beginning to end! Really glad that I finally gave it a chance!
I just love how appropriate your comment is with the story of Meet Joe Black. I adore that movie although it made me tear up towards the end. I still wish they got to be together.
It's a beautiful tune. Your mom had great taste. My mom's favorite tune was Odinary World by Duran Duran. It's been 30 years. Always think of her when I hear it. Blessings.
It's 2024 and I'm in my 40's. This song cuts so much deeper now. I wonder how many people wonder why they weren't met for me? I know I wonder about a few...
I was 15 years old when this masterpiece came out. I'm doing pretty much fine right now but man, I really miss my life in the 90s. So simple, so carefree, so happy.
For those who read this. I hope you find happiness in your life, in whatever you're doing or experiencing at the moment. And maybe someday, you'll realize that it all will be just an experience you can remember. A memories, that will stay with you, made you a better person. Made you a 'person' out of it.
(LYRICS) Ninety miles outside Chicago Can't stop driving I don't know why So many questions, I need an answer Two years later you're still on my mind Whatever happened to Amelia Earhart? Who holds the stars up in the sky? Is true love just once in a lifetime? Did the captain of the Titanic cry? Oh Someday we'll know if love can move a mountain Someday we'll know why the sky is blue Someday we'll know why I wasn't meant for you Does anybody know the way to Atlantis? Or what the wind says when she cries? I'm speeding by the place that I met you For the ninety-seventh time, tonight Someday we'll know if love can move a mountain Someday we'll know why the sky is blue Someday we'll know why I wasn't meant for you Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Someday we'll know why Samson loved Delilah? One day I'll go dancing on the moon Someday you'll know that I was the one for you Ow! Open up the world I bought a ticket to the end of the rainbow Watched the stars crash in the sea If I can ask God just one question Why aren't you here with me tonight? Someday we'll know if love can move a mountain Someday we'll know why the sky is blue Someday we'll know why I wasn't meant for you Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Someday we'll know why Samson loved Delilah? One day I'll go dancing on the moon Someday you'll know that I was the one for you
Miss these guys. Miss the 90's. Miss my ex. Miss feeling like i had some kind of handle on life. Man did things not turn out like we thought they would.
Back in '99 I was working at a True Value Hardware Store and this song came on the satellite radio station at east 4 times a day. I never got tired of it.
One of the most underrated songs ever...if you've had your heart broken 💔 you could really relate to this song. If you don't feel anything from this song, you must be dead from the neck up or never experienced love before. It's a pity that this group only stayed together for such a short time. This song is really TIMELESS and can speak to anyone years from now. The references like Amelia Earhart, the Titanic, Atlantis, and other unanswered questions are brilliant. Gregg Alexander truly brings this song to the heart....just wish this song receives more accolades for it's message. Thank you New Radicals for delivering a song that speaks for millions.
I'd be honored if some 90s fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal YT performances of YOU GET WHAT YOU GIVE by the New Radicals and BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY by the Verve in tribute to 2 of the most iconic anthems of the late 90s era. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace out and stay safe in the '020s.
Never really mind The lyrics Until i grow old enough to experience and realize it first hand.... life's getting hard and it ain't getting easier but somehow this Song resonates with my Struggles in life.
Every few months I search for this song because it is so good. I’m leaving this comment so I can reply to myself every time I return to this video. To my future self, it’s going to get better and nothing is permanent.
My all time favorite song!!! I just told my boyfriend, it's in the top 3 songs, of all favorites, in my 65 years of living.. absolutely Love this song!! Thanks so much for doing it!! I Love you guys!!❤🎉😊🙏🧸

Thank U, love this tune SO DAMN MUCH..... So deeply reminds me of my former fiancé from over 30 yrs ago, still in my heart & always will remain there....these lyrics hit me hard each time I listen.....💜💜😓🙏🌞
@@AestheticShrine Well he does reference Samson and Delilah so he may just be longing to go home back to Jesus Christ in person because he talks about us "someday knowing" and the only way to know is to be there with Him. For now we have the Holy Spirit, thank God (literally). Godspeed
@@cowboyanimal6700 thanks for explaining...knew this song before I was a Christian...this song pop up in my head after a break up.. didn't know it has Christian meaning
@@user-to8vr6jw2b I'm not sure if it does or not, nor if the song is blaspheming but it's kind of the way I saw it if I were to imagine that the singer were a believer.
I love both versions but for different reasons. I love Mandy's version because I loved the film and her version reminded me of it. But I love this version because as you said, this version conveys more emotion that Mandy's.
Wow, I was there as a kid boppin to "Get what you give" now I'm in my 30's just discovered this song today and already I see in the comments this was covered? This song is deep. I've got a lot of listening to do.
they were never meant to be, but Gregg decided to end the band and all promotional duties only a few days after this video came out. He said he wanted to focus on his career as producer instead of becoming a pop star.
@@jaggass LOL. You obviously don't know that, so don't make dumb assumptions. I doubt you were part of the music industry at the time, i.e . as record company CEO, executive, promoter, radio DJ or anybody that could influence that back then, it's really easy to talk now, isn't it? The album sold over a million copies in US alone, so it's obvious they could've promoted for a long time and go on tour.
@@zimzimzalabimMaybe so but Gregg knew that You Get What You Give couldn't be matched and he already decided that being famous wasn't for him. Its sad really because Someday We'll Know is a good song
@@jaggass You're assuming again. He never ruled himself out because he couldn't top YGWYG... actually said this to Billboard last year: "Nobody will ever know if five or six singles [would have come] out, whether it would have sold one more copy or 20 more million copies. NOBODY KNOWS, and I don't fucking care at this point. But I was grateful when I left the business of being an artist. When I extracted myself from that situation, I had the same thing I have now: hundreds and hundreds of pop songs."
Same age than you (even counting the year after reesponse lol) And didn't hear this song after it came out. Really. Totally forgot about it But tonight i watched this cheesy movie and it was in the soundtrack and i looked for it here :) I'm gonna listen some more of this band to try to find other forgotten songs! 90' was the best times to be a teen Cheers
I don't think so. He's had a lot of success as a producer. He's won a Grammy and was also up for an Oscar. That's what he wanted, to make music even if other artists played his part. Made a living from it, and is not on the spotlight. You should be happy for him.
zimzimzalabim I think you misunderstood my meaning...♥️ For me I feel the public is not aware of what he has accomplished and all of the beautiful songs he had written... To me, that is underrated ♥️♥️💚
Yeah and I honestly really have to agree with him. This dude’s voice does NOT go well with this song. I really like the song overall, but a different singer would make it even better.
The nostalgia feels like a flood rushing through my chest. I want to be happy but feels sad at the same time . Those who lived in the 90s as kid can relate.
Me too in 24.Daughter was raised listening to this album and 2 weeks ago shared a stage with Joe Walsh while he was in Hawkes Bay, she sang while he played guitar.Music can change lives and take you to magical places.
This could have been my story, but praise Jesus it wasnt. I married the One. When someone runs, chase them - even if it costs you everything. You never know, it may be worth it! 27 years later - more in love than ever and two incredible sons (21 and 18). Thank you Lord John 3:16-17
Shoutout to my younger me, just enjoy listening to your favorite radio station, playing cassette tape, watching MTV Philippines, enjoy the moment. You will surely miss that day.
The year of 1999, when I was 17, I was depressed, worn out and lost... this song came to my rescue for a heart that no longer beat as before (it was out of tune with the torment I was going through), and little by little I was finding a purpose in life, that pushed me and made me overcome all the pain that consumed me for higher flights... I finally found myself, I took the reins of life and with the help of self-knowledge is helping me overcome the battles of day-to-day life...
"Someday I will know, why I wasn't meant for you.. " What a deep lyrics there.. I wish now days music will have more deep and meaning full lyrics, instead showing off their beautiful body and face..
+Willy The Wizard holy shit, why does EVERY SINGLE FUCKING MUSIC VIDEO of 90's have these people complaining about how today's music is shallow and bullshit???
I love the way he plays this song... laid back but with so much emotions and self confidence. As if he knows its one of the best songs ever. Absolutely brilliant song and video.
My mood is not too good today, but I'm getting ready to go out and try to distract myself cause thinking about my future is making me feel anxious. Whoever is reading this comment, enjoy this day but without hurting anyone. God bless you! ❤❤❤ March 2024.
I was seeing a guy for 10 months as an FWB. Finally admitted to him last Sunday I felt things for him. He didn't feel the same way. Here I am now blasting this song on repeat.
I'm sorry to hear that. My lady of 11 years left me 3 weeks ago said believe me I'm going through lots of pain but I keep on hoping that maybe we can find new ground and start fresh. She is indeed the love of my life
Someday we'll know...but will it hurt any less then? This song breaks my heart every time but I listen to it multiple times a day. Thank you, Gregg, for this song.
Someday we'll know: yeah, got a lot of answer to life's mystery Someday we'll know: after 24 years of this song, some prayers answered, and some still waiting to reveal in matter of time Someday we'll know: cant wait to explore more on life's mystery and unleash what was promised to us in life. Been listening to this song when was a teenager and still listening today and dont mind listening to this song for another 24 years more. Someday we'll know.
April 2020. I hope everyone is staying safe and I have loved "A Walk to Remember" . Never knew that this was New Radicals. Loved the movie and the song.
I found this song through an unlikely path after watching a show on UA-cam about childhood stars. Danielle Brisebois was one of the guests. She played Stephanie Mills on All in the Family, and Molly in tge Broadway production of Annie. She was/is beautiful, and later made perhaps a bigger splash as a singer/songwriter. What a talented woman!
Someday I’ll know why they won’t stop ghosting. Edit: Someday came, I might still be single but now I understand that the light I sought was found within. Someday soon I will meet the right woman.

im listening!

It's 2024. Whenever I listen to this, it brings me back to 1999. A troubled 17 y/o with a very uncertain future. A 17 y/o who just wants to get away from everything to get my peace of mind.
Brings back a lot of bittersweet memories to be honest.
The line "If I could ask God just one question, why aren't You here with me tonight" still hits me so strong as if it were yesterday.
Until I have moved on, I will always have this song to remind me of everything.
I was17 in 1999 too bro
Damn, I was 6 years old in 99 but the sentiments in this song transcend generations. Hope life is treating you better now.
For me it's about my loss of my 12 year old daughter to self infliction, I remember knowing all the worfs of the New Radicals back in 2000, my daughter has been gone since 2001 Today it makes 23 years and these words speak to me. We would always listen to new radicals together and dance in our mudroom and I miss her so much so yes I am always listening to music that reminds me of her. Miss the New Radicals !!!
@@msgretrogamer Thank you, I would do the same thing with all my kids, and she loved The New Radicals, This song was on the movie " A walk to remember" which came out right about the time she died, and everyone at her school that was in the Drama club with her, would say that movie reminded them of my daughter and I can just remember dancing in the mudroom of our home feeling on top of the world with all my kids healthy and alive, and now I am here writing on songs that remind me of her, I thank you for writing
im 23 years old, its wild to imagine someone has lived through so much in my lifetime
You just gave this song a deeper meaning for me. Thank you.
I'm so sorry for your loss...
This comment brought me to tears. Thinking of you and your daughter while listening to this ❤❤
Underrated song. Underrated album. Underrated group. Still listen to this brilliant album a couple times a year.
same! since 1998
Underrated comment.
Underrated is so overused
This song is not underrated
Since 2000. As 90s kid this song never dies
This band rejected celebrity. That's true. This did happen. Greg Alexander was sincere in his rejection of fame. IT might have costed him millions, but this dude just really didn't care. This is gem.
Yeah they did reject fame but Greg Alexander has written some fabulous songs for other stars he’s one on his own so talented miss the voice that is his though 😀
@@juliehoff427 Agreed. Great band despite very short legacy. "You get what you give" is probably the last great anthem in popular rock music.
Same can be said for Alexander's song writing partner Danielle Brisebois, the two founding members of New Radicals. Both are still writing songs. A few years ago, they collaborated on a song called "Lost Stars" which was used in the feature film 'Begin Again' and was nominated for an Academy Award.

I miss the 90's so much it's almost like a physical pain. There were problems but now it's as if they are on steroids.
"Someday you'll know / that I was the one for you" ... is there anything sadder than a song about a missed connection? This tune just captures it.
YES! a missed connection. I was really wanting to write this long ass thing about the person this song reminded me of. A missed connection is perfect.
Missed connections ya

(LYRICS)
Ninety miles outside Chicago
Can't stop driving I don't know why
So many questions, I need an answer
Two years later you're still on my mind
Whatever happened to Amelia Earhart?
Who holds the stars up in the sky?
Is true love just once in a lifetime?
Did the captain of the Titanic cry? Oh
Someday we'll know if love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know why I wasn't meant for you
Does anybody know the way to Atlantis?
Or what the wind says when she cries?
I'm speeding by the place that I met you
For the ninety-seventh time, tonight
Someday we'll know if love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know why I wasn't meant for you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Someday we'll know why Samson loved Delilah?
One day I'll go dancing on the moon
Someday you'll know that I was the one for you
Ow!
Open up the world
I bought a ticket to the end of the rainbow
Watched the stars crash in the sea
If I can ask God just one question
Why aren't you here with me tonight?
Someday we'll know if love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know why I wasn't meant for you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Someday we'll know why Samson loved Delilah?
One day I'll go dancing on the moon
Someday you'll know that I was the one for you
Gregg and Danielle are superb songwriters... The Radicals put out that one album and said ok that was fun... now onto something new.
Miss these guys. Miss the 90's. Miss my ex. Miss feeling like i had some kind of handle on life. Man did things not turn out like we thought they would.
it anti over till its over

They rarely do.

Back in '99 I was working at a True Value Hardware Store and this song came on the satellite radio station at east 4 times a day. I never got tired of it.
Nick Moore How old are you ?
Pushin' 40
I guess, you must have been starting out in life, 2 decades back when music and times, both, were way better than what they are today.
wooww so sweet memories
Nick Moore this song never getting old , it was a hit then it was hit now also
This song ages like a fine wine. As I get older and reflect on things, I realize how prohetic and understanding this song was/is. Timeless classic!
Me. I’m 67, and know good music when I hear it..
🤪
With you on that, and same age!
A walk to remember... BEST FILM!!!
It sure was. And Mandy Moore is one of the very, very few artists that came out unscathed.
one of the best love story that i watch. 😁
I like to think that in a parallel universe, Gregg Alexander's amazing talent was highly valued.
Just another teen movie. No more than that.
yep
I can honestly say this is one of the finest songs ever recorded.
Absolutely!! What an incredible song.
I agree! Love this song
😂😂😂may b

One of the most underrated songs ever...if you've had your heart broken 💔 you could really relate to this song.
If you don't feel anything from this song, you must be dead from the neck up or never experienced love before.
It's a pity that this group only stayed together for such a short time.
This song is really TIMELESS and can speak to anyone years from now. The references like Amelia Earhart, the Titanic, Atlantis, and other unanswered questions are brilliant. Gregg Alexander truly brings this song to the heart....just wish this song receives more accolades for it's message. Thank you New Radicals for delivering a song that speaks for millions.
@pst702, I couldn’t have said it any better myself. The pain that comes through in the vocals… exactly how true heartbreak feels.

Never really mind The lyrics Until i grow old enough to experience and realize it first hand.... life's getting hard and it ain't getting easier but somehow this Song resonates with my Struggles in life.
*He wrote lost stars for maroon 5 and so many other great songs!* Such a talented dude. love his music 🎧 never gets old
Love being a pop star bored him so he just walked away at the peak of the New Radicals fame... now he just makes hits for others. Cool asf.
I love Maroon 5 but, I knew Adam Levine didn't write that song! It was too good.
Damn never knew it.. Now i know the signature behind that song....
He didn't write for maroon five, he wrote it for begin again.

Lyrics
Ninety miles outside Chicago
Can't stop driving
Don't know why
So many questions
I need an answer
Two years later you're still on my mind
What ever happened to Amelia Earhart
Who holds the stars up in the sky
Is true love once in a lifetime
Did the captain of the titanic cry
Someday we'll know
If love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know
Why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know
Why I wasn't meant for you
Does anybody know the way to Atlantis
Or what the wind says when she cries
I'm speeding by the place that I met you
For the ninety seventh time tonight
Someday we'll know
If love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know
Why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know
Why I wasn't meant for you
Someday we'll know
Why Sampson loved Delilah
One day I'll go
Dancing on the moon
Someday you'll know
That I was the one for you
I bought a ticket to the end of the rainbow
I watched the stars crash into the sea
If I could ask God just one question
Why aren't you here with me
Someday we'll know
If love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know
Why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know
Why I wasn't meant for you
Why Sampson loved Delilah
One day I'll go
Dancing on the moon
Someday you'll know
That I was the one for you.
Thank U, love this tune SO DAMN MUCH.....
So deeply reminds me of my former fiancé from over 30 yrs ago, still in my heart & always will remain there....these lyrics hit me hard each time I listen.....💜💜😓🙏🌞

Nothing like a poet feeling.
I run ahead...to my yesterday.
Oh, my...!
I liked Mandy Moore's version better.
Thanks
Can anyone tell why Sampson not Samson?
I forgot how amazing this whole album is 🥹 it’s been a while 🥲🫶💛💛💛
If you didn’t experience life in the 90’s you missed out on the most amazing time in history.
I was 30yrs old when this song came out and here iam 55yrs old still play this song and still give me chill effect
Same age and same feeling ✌🏽
Same boat as you , just a few years difference in age. What a great band.
It still feels like this song was just last week. A quarter of the century passed by like wft is happening here, its amazing we’re still alive now.
Lies again? Know Everybody Gym Battery
"If I could ask god just one question: why aren't you here with me?"
Always gotta tear up when I hear this line.
As a Christian, this hit me hard since I had been struggling spiritually for a while, but I'm doing way better now, thank God (literally)
@@AestheticShrine Well he does reference Samson and Delilah so he may just be longing to go home back to Jesus Christ in person because he talks about us "someday knowing" and the only way to know is to be there with Him. For now we have the Holy Spirit, thank God (literally). Godspeed
@@cowboyanimal6700 thanks for explaining...knew this song before I was a Christian...this song pop up in my head after a break up.. didn't know it has Christian meaning
@@user-to8vr6jw2b I'm not sure if it does or not, nor if the song is blaspheming but it's kind of the way I saw it if I were to imagine that the singer were a believer.
I feel you
Listening before 2023 ends...Fantastic ensemble! Love from Negros Island, Philippines.... ❤
WHOS HERE IN 2024!!!? 👇👇👇✌️🫶
SWEEET!

Oh yes 😊
The Mandy Moore version may be more successful, but Gregg's voice here really felt like he got his heart broken.
I love both versions but for different reasons. I love Mandy's version because I loved the film and her version reminded me of it. But I love this version because as you said, this version conveys more emotion that Mandy's.
I like both. I kept hearing both versions as a kid in a cab on the way home from the mall.
Mabe he"s really sad. I love him!!! Just one question....
Wow, I was there as a kid boppin to "Get what you give" now I'm in my 30's just discovered this song today and already I see in the comments this was covered? This song is deep. I've got a lot of listening to do.
mandy moore did a version?
Proof that New Radicals weren't a one hit wonder band.
they were never meant to be, but Gregg decided to end the band and all promotional duties only a few days after this video came out. He said he wanted to focus on his career as producer instead of becoming a pop star.
@@zimzimzalabim He made the right decision as New Radicals were always going to be known for one song.
@@jaggass LOL. You obviously don't know that, so don't make dumb assumptions. I doubt you were part of the music industry at the time, i.e . as record company CEO, executive, promoter, radio DJ or anybody that could influence that back then, it's really easy to talk now, isn't it? The album sold over a million copies in US alone, so it's obvious they could've promoted for a long time and go on tour.
@@zimzimzalabimMaybe so but Gregg knew that You Get What You Give couldn't be matched and he already decided that being famous wasn't for him. Its sad really because Someday We'll Know is a good song
@@jaggass You're assuming again. He never ruled himself out because he couldn't top YGWYG... actually said this to Billboard last year: "Nobody will ever know if five or six singles [would have come] out, whether it would have sold one more copy or 20 more million copies. NOBODY KNOWS, and I don't fucking care at this point. But I was grateful when I left the business of being an artist. When I extracted myself from that situation, I had the same thing I have now: hundreds and hundreds of pop songs."
I'm 18 then, now 43 still love this song.
Same 😊
Same age than you (even counting the year after reesponse lol)
And didn't hear this song after it came out. Really. Totally forgot about it
But tonight i watched this cheesy movie and it was in the soundtrack and i looked for it here :)
I'm gonna listen some more of this band to try to find other forgotten songs!
90' was the best times to be a teen
Cheers
🐱Who's still listening to this in 2024?😸
I just ordered the cd off ebay :) today
Me
The most under rated artist of our time.
Absolutely!!!
Jason Reid absolutely true♥️♥️♥️
I don't think so. He's had a lot of success as a producer. He's won a Grammy and was also up for an Oscar. That's what he wanted, to make music even if other artists played his part. Made a living from it, and is not on the spotlight. You should be happy for him.
zimzimzalabim I think you misunderstood my meaning...♥️
For me I feel the public is not aware of what he has accomplished and all of the beautiful songs he had written...
To me, that is underrated ♥️♥️💚
Damn true....he is a lyrical legend.
Todd in the Shadows got me here and glad he did really liking the song
I saw that episode, too and it showed up just now
Yeah and I honestly really have to agree with him. This dude’s voice does NOT go well with this song. I really like the song overall, but a different singer would make it even better.
JJ Abeyta luckily there are bafflingly so many versions with different singers
@@Musiclover19 I personally disagree, I like his voice and think it works great with the song! But art is subjective
@@Musiclover19
I agree which is why I prefer the Mandy Moore/Switchfoot cover. But I do like this version.
rest in peace Paul Gordon (piano). The drummer is Josh Freese (now in Foo Fighters) and the guitarist is Rusty Anderson.
year 2024 and counting, at 37 I still listen to this song as if I were a teenager... beautiful memories
first time hearing this :O
37 me too still listen this song
25 years ago, but the teenage still breathes...
Me at my 35 ❤️
Me at 42❤
I was a teenager when this song became a hit. Only today, years later, did I realize the beauty of his lyrics.
The nostalgia feels like a flood rushing through my chest. I want to be happy but feels sad at the same time . Those who lived in the 90s as kid can relate.
Taga Cale this got me dancin’ while cryi’n 😂
Relate
Stay present. The future is a thought. The past exists only in memory. Only the present exists.
2023 listening to this album all the time! In New Zealand and play it to my daughters too. There’s so many words and meanings to these songs
Me too in 24.Daughter was raised listening to this album and 2 weeks ago shared a stage with Joe Walsh while he was in Hawkes Bay, she sang while he played guitar.Music can change lives and take you to magical places.
@@shanerowe3069 ka pai bro 😎 that’s so awesome 🙌
@@shanerowe3069 bro that’s so amazing I just love music and culture and diversity of our country now a days
25 years later you're still on my mind ....
there is always this special one who will never leave
Someday youll know why i reply this comment yeah yeah yeah
She's still in mine too...25 years...
Don't say that... Mine is two years and I can barely take It... 25 is too much... May I ask what happened to you?
Im on that same pace.. Everytime i dreamed about her.. She's always on my mind its crazy
Interesting life cycle when you hit that borderline maturity looking back from innocence and pure curiosity. This is beautiful.
This could have been my story, but praise Jesus it wasnt. I married the One. When someone runs, chase them - even if it costs you everything. You never know, it may be worth it! 27 years later - more in love than ever and two incredible sons (21 and 18). Thank you Lord John 3:16-17
Happy for you, and a great advise, I know because it was my story.
Amen brother!
I know more about u
there are many "ones" its timing and being ready
well that's a good advice "if someone runs chase them"
i followed the opposite one "if you love someone let them free"
i'm alone now :(
Shoutout to my younger me, just enjoy listening to your favorite radio station, playing cassette tape, watching MTV Philippines, enjoy the moment. You will surely miss that day.
The rawness of this version is amazing
Still rocking this in 2020,electrifying voice..
❤
Right!?
2021 still
2022😍
2022 for me
a nice song a nice memory to look back on, high school hit, a must have song for every cd Walkman geek.
This is one of my top ten tracks of all time. Truly brilliant.
Have you heard ua-cam.com/video/NERmgwWfnoI/v-deo.html
This scene on A Walk To Remember was everything
The year of 1999, when I was 17, I was depressed, worn out and lost... this song came to my rescue for a heart that no longer beat as before (it was out of tune with the torment I was going through), and little by little I was finding a purpose in life, that pushed me and made me overcome all the pain that consumed me for higher flights... I finally found myself, I took the reins of life and with the help of self-knowledge is helping me overcome the battles of day-to-day life...
I love you. You matter. Your life makes a difference. Thank you for your story
I WAS NINE YEARS OLD AND FEELIN EVERY BIT OF 90SMUSIC
My wife loved this song, she played it at her second wedding,,,,,, my take away is that its a good song
2021, Februari - Desember, anyone?

God bless you (:

You too Lizzy
"Someday I will know, why I wasn't meant for you.. "
What a deep lyrics there.. I wish now days music will have more deep and meaning full lyrics, instead showing off their beautiful body and face..
+Willy Juisan have you heard of twenty one pilots? they are just as meaningful.
+Willy The Wizard holy shit, why does EVERY SINGLE FUCKING MUSIC VIDEO of 90's have these people complaining about how today's music is shallow and bullshit???
+Francisco Farias - Because it is... :)
Someday we'll know! Ha ha couldn't resist
This is one of those songs that needs to be left on repeat while contemplating life.
2024 still listening this.
The way he wears his bucket hat, to hide the sadness in his eyes.
I love the way he plays this song... laid back but with so much emotions and self confidence.
As if he knows its one of the best songs ever.
Absolutely brilliant song and video.
Oh, absolutely! ❤❤❤❤❤
My mood is not too good today, but I'm getting ready to go out and try to distract myself cause thinking about my future is making me feel anxious. Whoever is reading this comment, enjoy this day but without hurting anyone. God bless you! ❤❤❤
March 2024.

@@jodilyn4210 nice to see someone still listening to new radicals
Oh my god. Why this song aint most famous in the universe? Its amazing!
People who are in their late thirties now.... God bless you... You are the best generation
Yes, I do believe we were, or still are.
Thank You!!
Yes, we are
Im 23 but my lucky that i grow up to this kind of songs
No we're not, but we're doing our damndest to succeed
Listening to this classic was A walk down memory lane ...Definitely A walk to remember !!!❤
Who's here listening year 2024?🎉
Such a shame he didn’t continue with his own music, he was so frakking good. And damn if this doesn’t make me miss my youth.
so much nostlagia
...we live, we lose, we get over it, we carry on...but some...well some just stick with you forever...
This is one of the best albums to come out of the 90's. Still listening in 2023!
Truly a great song. So relatable to everyone’s life.
if someone is still listening to this song after 40 years, i might be dead already but i was here.
This entire album is Gold.
legendary yeat sample, same record label too
Exactly!
Damn I didn’t know your were tapped in with yeat jman.
Back home yeat
that’s why i’m here. great sample by bynx
What traxk?
I was seeing a guy for 10 months as an FWB. Finally admitted to him last Sunday I felt things for him. He didn't feel the same way.
Here I am now blasting this song on repeat.
There there
This song makes me feel so sad. I LOVE 💙
when was it?
I sang this song alone inside my car when I got my heart broken for the first time... now I'm back cause it's broken for the second. I'm tired...
I'm sorry to hear that. My lady of 11 years left me 3 weeks ago said believe me I'm going through lots of pain but I keep on hoping that maybe we can find new ground and start fresh. She is indeed the love of my life
@@mowilderness8505 I'm sorry to hear that, I cannot even begin to compare such time you two spent and cut short. Keep safe my friend, we'll get by.
Absolute classic. Introduced this track to my six year old last week, it's her new favourite. Speaks for itself.
thank you yeat for giving this song new life
WHOS LISTENING TO THIS IN 2019?!
meeee
me to
MEEEEEE
Meeee....
Me
Someday we'll know...but will it hurt any less then? This song breaks my heart every time but I listen to it multiple times a day. Thank you, Gregg, for this song.
Been listening to this song for about 2 weeks now on loop almost everyday.
I can see a kind of poetic cult around this song....
i feel you :(
Same thing here….
Someday we'll know: yeah, got a lot of answer to life's mystery
Someday we'll know: after 24 years of this song, some prayers answered, and some still waiting to reveal in matter of time
Someday we'll know: cant wait to explore more on life's mystery and unleash what was promised to us in life.
Been listening to this song when was a teenager and still listening today and dont mind listening to this song for another 24 years more.
Someday we'll know.
Hell, I'm 65 and listening to this in 2024!
🙂🤪
just accidentally played this song, and now I know why millions of people love this masterpiece. 💯
April 2020. I hope everyone is staying safe and I have loved "A Walk to Remember" . Never knew that this was New Radicals. Loved the movie and the song.
@John Nichols how do you know it's about religion? Hahaha
Oh man, it was playing in my head today!!
Probable but time is an essential part of this vow made...smile we still can be close...who knows the futures yet to be.😊
Definitely one of the best songs of all time
Agree!❤
Random but abstract lyrics:
Why samson loved delilah,
Did the captain of the titanic cry
Brilliant songwriter
-Co-written by Danielle Brisebois who played the little girl Stephanie on All in the Family.
Yeah
Gregg Alexander, he also wrote the songs for animated film frozen and the movie Lost Stars.
@@jeffpayusan Not sure where you heard that but those songs were written by Robert Lopez and his wife Kristian.
rzrbckmz23 hahahahaha lol
I found this song through an unlikely path after watching a show on UA-cam about childhood stars. Danielle Brisebois was one of the guests. She played Stephanie Mills on All in the Family, and Molly in tge Broadway production of Annie.
She was/is beautiful, and later made perhaps a bigger splash as a singer/songwriter. What a talented woman!
Actually she made no splash.
Someday I’ll know why they won’t stop ghosting.
Edit: Someday came, I might still be single but now I understand that the light I sought was found within.
Someday soon I will meet the right woman.
One of the most underrated bands ever.
These guys and Third Eye Blind man. Icons of the 90s.
