True story about meeting this amazing group. It was when this album was released, and they were touring. I saw them in Denver, CO with a friend. We were right up front. They began playing and by the third song my left ear was ringing with pain. The lead singer stopped, walked to the backstage, came back to the frontstage and bent down to hand me something. Everyone thought it was a guitar pick. It wasn't. It was ear plugs. A simple, kind gesture. ❤ After the show, my friend who worked at 92.5 radio in Denver got us back stage passes. I bought a shirt, etc. We went back and said, "Hi" and introduced ourselves. Then, the lead singer (I apologize I forgot his name atm) said to me, "Sometimes there's just a tune that gets to me, too. I saw you standing there plugging your ear with your hand/finger." He then autographed my shirt and drew little ear plugs! I still own the shirt and won't wear or wash it. They were all so amazing and down to earth guys. 🙌 edit: word
this is not one of the best songs of the 90s. this is not one of the best songs of the alternative/grunge era. this is one of the best songs OF ALL TIME. seriously, how can you not agree? its just amazing.
I am so thankful they are touring again. They were on my bucket list to experience in person and it happened on July 21, 2016 at Revolution Hall in Portland, OR. Rusted Root opened for them, it was AMAZING!!!! I may have cried a few times.
Summer 2023...I used to work at Blockbuster video when this song came out and the music video being played overhead. Now to still hear this song at the local CVS, totally awesome
I hope these guys know how much I admire what they do. The diamond songs these artists have created will live with me forever. Excellent work fellas! 🙂
@@Zizzyyzz not sure why you are so upset and bothered by this but, they were a great band that in my opinion didn't get the same recognition as some other bands at that time. For example were they as popular as like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, or many other 90s bands, definitely not. They had a unique style, even R.E.M. got way more love then they did
Yes: That was always my favorite line in this song. There is a similar line in the song “In The Blood” by Better Than Ezra. It’s something like: “But it's the way you move your hands. And it's the way you understand.”
Open up and let me in I was lucky to live, don't need to win Forgave myself and if that's a sin It's not enough you'd even know it You did right to call my bluff 'Cause I won't say when I've had enough And I worked so hard to need this stuff And you tried so long to just ignore it Won't you come down where I am Words are hidden, understand I won't repeat myself again I will not repeat myself again It's another promise D.O.A. And despite my every hope there is no truth Behind my best intentioned oath Won't you come down where I am Words are hidden, understand Won't you come down Been away to long, I know I have Won't you come down, help me stand There is healing in your hands Won't you come down where I am Words all leave me Been away too long I know I've been away too long I know I have
Going through watching old videos and of course this one had to be one of them because duh. I love them. Glen is so sweet, I saw him on one of his solo shows
My motto is literally a Toad lyric: “Whatever Happens will be”. Was lucky enough to get backstage passes & met them in 1995 on tour when Hootie & the Blowfish opened up for them. That’s was show with the two best band names lol
Not to talk crap about what plays on the radio these days but am I the only one who thinks that this sounds like real music and who wonders what the hell happened?
You're not the only one who feels like this. This IS real music!! When I lived in LA, I'd be blasting this on the radio while driving on the coast (1996/1997) :)
Melody became uncool. Knowing how to play your instrument became uncool. None of which I can understand. This kind of music still exists but it isnt on widely distributed radio.
I love this album so much that I have back ups... am not even talking about file back ups but actual unopened CDs (bought a week after Coil was released) just in case the 1st one gets scratched (i'm clumsy) and I still have them lol
This was one of the few bands of which I was satisfied when i had one of each album and that not hard to achieve. I don't know if the world just didn't give Toad a fair shot, or if Toad had the shot and thats where it landed. I liked about haolf the songs, many of the off beats. I will always find them genuine, fluid and interesting.
My brother still has a sealed copy of "In light syrup" . I bought it for him not knowing he already gotten it. He held on to it and still has it 25 years later.
Saw this video while working at blockbuster video. It's 2019 and this video and song still rocks . Always leaves you in a good mood. Love the video, too
I also used to work at Blockbuster in the exact catty-corner area of our great H-Town Houston (this was back around the time that the original Jurassic Park and Speed came out) and Coil had not yet dropped, if memory serves. If this album had been released at that time, I'm pretty damn sure that my Manager, coworkers and I would have been totally jamming to it over the store loudspeakers as well.
A fantastic song by a band I loved then and love now - hard-driving yet beautiful. The ‘90s were not really my decade - I much preferred the three decades preceding it - but great music has no era. I am gratified they are still around and have made it through to this era relatively unscathed - older, wiser, still rockin’. What more can you ask from life these days?
This band has captured me since their early beginnings before "All I Want" and Walk on the Ocean." They have a new release "Constellation" and it is a gem. Every song on that project is stellar. Check it out folks...
OMG Who is that adorable man who gave you the mic in this video, I love all you guys. Can't wait to see you all. You will never grow old.. Your timeless.
Love this song. I’ll start by saying I’m middle aged now and life is great. When this song was popular, I was in my late teens. What a great time to be alive too. No phones, no Netflix ect. I had a whole life ahead of me. I had my friends and the radio. Such nostalgia
the 1990s were full of socially relevant rock bands , thats why they were called alternative rock , Toad The Wet Sprocket were one of those great champions of the college radio sound, inspiring the youth to get political :)
Toad The Wet Sprocket, Gin Blossoms, Better Than Ezra, Hootie And The Blowfish were great, so were Everclear, Soul Aslyum, Eve 6, Semisonic, Smashmouth, Smashing Pumpkins, Collective Soul, R.E.M, Pearl Jam, Live, Alice In Chains, Mudhoney, Soundgarden, Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, Janes Addiction, Offspring, Bad Religion, Sun Volt, Monster Magnet, Red Hot Chili Peppers and on and on , all these 1990s alternative rock, grunge, powerpop and punk bands had good music because it was all socially and politically relevant to the youth of America.
Daniel Castellammare Better than Ezra was huge though; I don't know I can say they didn't get the deserved attention. Toad on the other hand has largely been forgotten.
I heard this on the radio when it came out and had it in my head for years never knowing who it was by or the name of the song. Then in the days of UA-cam I finally figured it out.
this is a great song. This was one of the few bands of which I was satisfied when i had one of each album and that not hard to achieve.

I will always find them genuine, fluid and interesting.
Unconsciously avoided this band because of the stupid name, but heard this playing in a restaurant a few days ago and I was instantly hooked. Just the kind of wistful, sharp-toned guitars, end credits rolling, massive chorus, sweet alternative rock with a little bite that I just fawn over endlessly.
I always thought he looked amazing here, like Sinead O'Connor. They both have delicate, pretty features and big eyes. He looks like he's wearing pajamas. I didn't remember that style in the 90s.

edit: word
That’s very cool. And so nice. I’m jealous.
FYI, the lead singer is Glen.
@jrock2264 Yes, I know. He signed my shirt with his name. 😉
TOAD is one of those rare bands that have SO many really good songs!
Critter literally all of their songs are jams! This one is the best, but that’s my opinion
Wierd thing is, I only knew them for "Something's always wrong" but didn't know so many songs playing on the radio when I was a kid were by them. Lol.
If I had the talent to have just written "All I Want," I could die happy!
Almost 25 years old. Still one of the best songs I've ever heard.
I haven’t listened to this in forever. I remember I was like 12 when this came out. I’ve missed this song.
I agree Jason,I liked it when it came out and I like it even more today.
Also, one of the best ALBUMS ever written… and I totally agree, this song is absolute perfection.
I agree!!!
Hard agree!!!!!!!
this is not one of the best songs of the 90s. this is not one of the best songs of the alternative/grunge era. this is one of the best songs OF ALL TIME. seriously, how can you not agree? its just amazing.
It's too bad bands like this are kind of forgotten. They have music that still is fresh today. So many years later.
"I won't repeat myself again
I will not repeat myself again"
Love it!
jackpics Ditto
Love that clever line.
And, Glen's expression as he sings it!
Always loved that line...
This is one of THE GREATEST songs in the collective history of known and unknown civilization. PERIOD.
This is one band that never made a bad song...ever. They are all masterpieces.
Reminds me of the Summer of '97 and Much Music. Man I want to go back.
I am so thankful they are touring again. They were on my bucket list to experience in person and it happened on July 21, 2016 at Revolution Hall in Portland, OR. Rusted Root opened for them, it was AMAZING!!!! I may have cried a few times.

Long live the 90s!
saw them in the early 90's. Gin Blossoms opening and were throwing cassette tape singles into the audience! I feel old...
Back in the day, I remember this kind of GOOD MUSIC they played on the radio .....
This band is one of the most underrated bands of all time
@@frankdagostino8588 Underrated? People love to parrot that statement. What does that even mean?
@@Zizzyyzz it means they didn't get the respect they deserve 🤷♂️
@@frankdagostino8588 From whom?
@@Zizzyyzz not sure why you are so upset and bothered by this but, they were a great band that in my opinion didn't get the same recognition as some other bands at that time.

Instantly transported to the 90s......awesome...
I have to listen to this song everyday.
Toad the Wet Sprocket rocks the house!!!
When I went to night school. I listened to Coil over and over when I was doing homework after class. Never got old.
There is healing in your hands 🎶❤️🎶❤️🎶❤️🎶
Yes: That was always my favorite line in this song. There is a similar line in the song “In The Blood” by Better Than Ezra. It’s something like: “But it's the way you move your hands. And it's the way you understand.”
Saw them live in 94. Hootie opened for them at Eastern Illinois University.
This is my favorite song from Coil. I love this band so much
1997 = peak for alternative music
One cannot throw any more logic upon one's girl's doorstep than this
Wow: The perfect observation
Ohh, man! I wanna cry! I'd just found my forgotten teen years!
just saw them on tour with counting crows.....awesome! so glad they are back together again!! tight and sounds great!
=k=
Open up and let me in
I was lucky to live, don't need to win
Forgave myself and if that's a sin
It's not enough you'd even know it
You did right to call my bluff
'Cause I won't say when I've had enough
And I worked so hard to need this stuff
And you tried so long to just ignore it
Won't you come down where I am
Words are hidden, understand
I won't repeat myself again
I will not repeat myself again
It's another promise D.O.A.
And despite my every hope there is no truth
Behind my best intentioned oath
Won't you come down where I am
Words are hidden, understand
Won't you come down
Been away to long, I know I have
Won't you come down, help me stand
There is healing in your hands
Won't you come down where I am
Words all leave me
Been away too long
I know I've been away too long
I know I have

Toad is Pure Gold!!! Incredibly Awesome Underrated!!! May God Bless y'all Richly and Jesus Peace!!! ❤😂🎉😮
A perfect song and a perfect band.
toad the wet sprocket was one of my favs In hs lot of great music

XboxMaster42D by no means are you the only one I feel the same way as you do:)
This is definitely real music. I have seen them live and they sound just like the CD. Did not miss a lick.
Melody became uncool. Knowing how to play your instrument became uncool. None of which I can understand. This kind of music still exists but it isnt on widely distributed radio.
Amen! This is real music that touches the soul.
I love this album so much that I have back ups... am not even talking about file back ups but actual unopened CDs (bought a week after Coil was released) just in case the 1st one gets scratched (i'm clumsy) and I still have them lol
Die-hard fan!!! I love it!!!
That's awesome.

Smart.
this album ( CD) was everything to me!
This is my favorite Toad song!! Can't wait to see them play this live again!
Man what a song! And that chorus! Whew!
Saw this video while working at blockbuster video. It's 2019 and this video and song still rocks . Always leaves you in a good mood. Love the video, too
I used to work at blockbuster video and when this video came on, everyone stop what they were doing and starting singing
This comment is so stupid but the song is awesome
@@victorg5856 How is it stupid?
Used to love karaoke-ing this one! Gee, I hope Victor G doesn't think that's stupid.
I also used to work at Blockbuster in the exact catty-corner area of our great H-Town Houston (this was back around the time that the original Jurassic Park and Speed came out) and Coil had not yet dropped, if memory serves.

Wow, this is really good. Been exploring these guys lately, was too young to get into them as a kid but I always liked the songs on the radio.
Another promise DOA...kick ass lyrics, kick ass music... I won't repeat myself again...
Great tune indeed and I will not repeat myself again...
He was the most adorable human ever ♥️
Incredible talent, love everything these guys do.
the 90's I miss.
This band has captured me since their early beginnings before "All I Want" and
Walk on the Ocean." They have a new release "Constellation" and it is a gem. Every song on that project is stellar. Check it out folks...
rayri23 - They are touring, too. If you have opportunity listen to "Life is Beautiful" here on UA-cam...blissful and very much inspiring.
lxlandia i see what you did there...new constellation....*stellar*
- hehehe...just plugging in this great band of guys: Glen Todd Dean and Randy. Their music got me through my college years.
COIL was by far their best and most consistent album. Love it still to this day.
Love Coil, but Dulcinea has to be my personal fave!
While raw, Bread and Circus and Pale can not be beaten. Coil is my least favorite...
Coil is great. I love all of their albums.
TBH when I think of Toad, I think of “All I Want”. I’ve never heard this song until today. I love it!
Greatness.
Glen perfected "smizing" long before it was a word!
ah...... amazing!!!
TTWS music always leaves a smile on your face and a feel good spirit
A big hit of Dopamine and a hug every single time.
OMG Who is that adorable man who gave you the mic in this video, I love all you guys. Can't wait to see you all. You will never grow old.. Your timeless.
I remember this song. Brings me back to Summer 1997 when I heard it
Takes me right back to high school #classof98
c/o 98 here!
I absolutely love this song . Reminds me of R.E.M. a little.
Love this song. I’ll start by saying I’m middle aged now and life is great. When this song was popular, I was in my late teens. What a great time to be alive too. No phones, no Netflix ect. I had a whole life ahead of me. I had my friends and the radio. Such nostalgia
AMO ESTA AGRUPACION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy to claim number as # 1000 likes there sound is just ahhhhhhh....... wonderful !!!
Man, slept on Toad hard.
Their best song
agreed
I totally agree. Not saying that any of their other songs are bad, but this one was just special and stuck with me.
One of their best!
Beautiful eyes😊❤️🎶😊❤️🎶😊❤️🎶
i always loved the sound of the bass for toad songs.... yup.. thats a warwick
The Pessimist Dean Dinning has a great sound and is a fine gentleman besides.
+The Pessimist Me too it always stands out real nice
dean's basslines are amazing. so intricate. the bassline in "all i want" is total genius
I got to chat with them at UNCG in 1993 when they played at our soccor stadium, what a fantastic day that was. 🍀🍀
love their sound !!
This song is amazing but to hear it live is completely next level.
Great song.....
great song!
SACRAMENTO'S GIFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just ummm perfect !!!!!
My favorite song by them
One of those great bands that didn't get enough attention like Better Than Ezra :p
the 1990s were full of socially relevant rock bands , thats why they were called alternative rock , Toad The Wet Sprocket were one of those great champions of the college radio sound, inspiring the youth to get political :)
kind of like R.E.M and Soul Aslyum and Collective Soul and Live and Pearl Jam :)

I really appreciate their music and I really related to them I still do! so powerful and talented:)
Coil is a masterpiece.
Very underrated band!!!
What does that even mean? Underrated to whom?
Thank you Warren Miller for introducing me to this band
I heard this on the radio when it came out and had it in my head for years never knowing who it was by or the name of the song. Then in the days of UA-cam I finally figured it out.
me showing my kids what is a good song when i was in college 1997
Wow they are back .. Tom cruise turned me into this group .. been a big fan since !!
Most excellent song and video 👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹
I'm surprised I didn't know about the hits! I was so impressed with Dulcinea.
This used to be my favourite track! Crazy life sounds epic either!
great music
good music
Toad is the best top 10 bands ok 30 but they are there! Number 2 on my list damn it!!! so underrated!
this is a great song. This was one of the few bands of which I was satisfied when i had one of each album and that not hard to achieve.

Heard you the first time.
#musicteacherapproved. Bringing me back to when I first started grad school in Boston. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I wish them millions but I like the I found them and I’ll play them to my friends
This video kicks ass man
When I close my eyes, I feel like I am in second grade listening to this, wearing Lee Pipes. Annnd now they are opened and life sucks.
Unconsciously avoided this band because of the stupid name, but heard this playing in a restaurant a few days ago and I was instantly hooked. Just the kind of wistful, sharp-toned guitars, end credits rolling, massive chorus, sweet alternative rock with a little bite that I just fawn over endlessly.
This was a good best of album
Loved this bandand still do I'd do an aerial just to listen to it again
I just saw them on June 11. Them and Gin Blossoms are who I wanted to see. Barenaked Ladies was awesome too.
I always thought he looked amazing here, like Sinead O'Connor. They both have delicate, pretty features and big eyes. He looks like he's wearing pajamas. I didn't remember that style in the 90s.
Film does not do his eyes justice. From a foot away you can see they are the most amazing blue.
He has his own style. Always has.
