![BUSH - 1000 YEARS FEAT. AMY LEE [Visualizer]](/img/n.gif)
i was a kid in 99. Just turned 40. This is one of my best songs ever made. I believe being a a teen in 99 was way better than teens have it now if I look back.
I completely agree. I think we're the last generation to have had decent music. I always say, "everything after 9/11 is crap", because the 90s was the last decade of good music, imo anyway. From 2000 onward, music got significantly worse each year.
Music now is so generic. Most of it is completely lacking emotion, purpose and meaning. It's all created using the same industry formula, so it's boring, predictable and repetitive. Creativity, originality, freedom of expression and real talent has nearly disappeared from modern music. All we're left with is auto tuned garbage designed to please algorithms and promote agendas.
I was 14 in 1999. Bush was one of my favorite bands for years. Although they're not in my top 3 favorites anymore, I still listen to their music from back then. Good music can stand the test of time. That's why we still listen to music from decades ago, but forget about new songs right away. Radio stations are still playing tons of music from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, because it's good music that passed the test of time.
I was 26 years old. I loved 99. Wild days then. I love the song. I find myself singing it for no reason. Im alot easier on myself now.
99 was a special year for me as well. A year of major change, heartache, love -hate and confusion. Everything that happened then still echos today in my life.
Yes.
Early 2000s is when good music eneded..im 40 too..the modern dance clubs still only play my generations dance hits
My sister Genevieve passed away in 2009 from cancer. Every time I visit her at her apartment, she'd ask me to play this song, almost religiously. It got harder and harder to visit once the chemo and experimental drugs took a toll on her body. I owe her my taste in music, movies. Almost everything. Today is the anniversary of her passing (May 14th) I'm here now, listening to this with a smile on my face. I miss my sister. She was my best friend. I don't know why I'm putting this out in the world, maybe it'll have someone appreciate whoever makes them happy a little bit more or turn up this song that much louder.
I felt the same way writing my little story 3 years ago. Coming back now tho, it's nice to see a few dozen people actually read it and maybe can relate.
Sorry
I will turn this song all the way up for Genevieve. May she rest in heaven. 🤘
@@gguevara5150 thank you ❤️
♥️♥️
Watching ER and this comes on. Right to UA-cam.
Omg same 😋
Same!!❤
Same
Same! ❤
SAME... The initial chords caught me by surprise... I restarted the episode lol. My 11 y/o loves ER and was a big fan of the song 🤣
Just saw them in DC at hfstival... They rocked but unfortunately didn't play it 😢
As an adult this song is even more potent and beautiful
So true🌠
Never understood why this song didn't do better in charts.
This really is their best song
Me too. I love this song. I think it has more to do with the direction of rock music when this came out. Corporate rock radio was moving quickly to weed out stuff like this.
Yeah... I've always thought this song was sooo beautiful and underrated!
People were conditioned to like garbage, that’s why there’s so much garbage that is topping the charts still.
@@noobdernoobder6707 wakka wakka wakka
Definitely keep coming back to this one….
The last concert I went to with my brother before he passed away...I was holding up my cell phone recording bush playing live and we where both singing along as loud as we could ...I listen to it just to hear his voice sometimes
Good god. Your comment just broke my heart. I'm so sorry for your loss.
I'm sorry for your loss..
you have a very beautiful last memory with your brother
Veronica Gutierrez RIP
Rip. Me my love.
I'm in my 40s now....this will NEVER cease to be one of my alltime faves!
24 years later. It's still one of my all time favorites.
"I am a stranger in this town" This still hits hard --2024
Aqui ... Brasil.... Amooo ....30/08/2024
Oh please. You can feel a stranger in your own home/country/world/life...
RIP Joel Schumacher, director of this stunning video...
Wow. Had no idea :/ very talented!
Really? I didn’t kno that. He also did great on the lost boys too!!
This played on “Charmed” (S2,e20) Piper was crying and Leo orbed in to comfort her. Amazing song!
I got introduced to this song by Charmed, my mother's favorite tv show. A good choice of song for that episode with an excellent performance of Holly Marie Combs during the crying scene.
This song was written about his friend who was dying and didn't let anyone know or want anyone to know because they were ashamed. The emotion in this is so beautiful this song was one of the last I listened to before sadly losing my husband to fentanyl poisoning . This song hits different and show the true talent of this band imho
Sorry for your loss, at least we still have the music we shared with them..
So sorry for the loss of your man, your right btw..this song does hit different. Peace out, sister x
I've lost count how many loved ones are dead from fentanyl n its started in my 20s n I'm in my 40s n it still happens I go through the alphabet letter by letter n name each person n I get halfway n can't bring myself to say more or I count the names n by the 20s I break down knowing I'm just halfway there, I come from a city in between two big cities that get everything from new York City the highway through my city is called heroin highway by the locals n police like the police think it's funny but they don't even realize that's they can't even do their job , I've seen puppies run around cars filled with heroin that I could smell it's a joke in new York, Rhode Island and Massachusetts USA
Hiv
He didn’t die of fentanyl poisoning. He overdosed on drugs. be honest.
This is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. I’m obsessed with it
Because it MEANS something. The meaning of music these days is lost in profitabilitism. Not saying it wasn't about profit in those times, just that it's the one and only reason left to release something these days. Which means releasing generally bullshit that as many people with low IQ or no nack for arts will enjoy. Bluntly, to sell as much as you can to people who never really listen to the lyrics or care about art.
@@dddux not all music. Finland has some incredible music
I know, right~~I feel the same way~~
My go to love song. My ideal picture of love between to people. I sing in a band and us to sing this to my ex..... 😢😮
@@dddux Oh stop, there has always been dumb ''music'' purely for profits and good music. There is still lots of great music, you just have to look for it.
Who is still listening to it on 2020? Good music never goes out of style 👍
amen sister
The best bush song by far
😎
Good music is timeless
🙋❤🔥🎸
Quarter-century old song but even in 2024 still a magic one!
Glad I found this song again...like a long lost friend...
Leave it alone by moist is a gem too. Reminds me of the same feelings
“Silence is not the way”… ❤
2024...who's taking a trip through time?
Essa é clássica
I forgot about this song completely. One of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard.. glad I came across it again as it’s been over a decade. I listened to some Bush as a teen. I’m 34. Good times…
yeah, im 32 now. our generation had amazing music. im binge listening to all my favorite oldies =)
@@mmmooo78 ❤️
@@itsajahoo I am 46, saw them in concert twice, and I too forgot.
Same here, also listened the remix from Cafe del Mar compilation quite a lot. Then I haven't heard it in years when it suddenly came across my mind again.
Ya I'm 43 n had to come back to this after finding it was written about his friend who got AIDS n I had a couple friends just die from AIDS n they battled it for over 30yrs each n I was semi responsible for the first one dying earlier from it then he should by playing a stupid game of catch I miss through the glove at him n he had to reach out for it n that just snowballed into his death quicker dam if I only through that glove straight at him in the numbers not a stupid ass throw which I just tripped myself over n got busted up from n dam so much blood n broken bones n I'm carrying him n he's screaming at me I have AIDS let me go save yourself but I just had to be a hero if just for one day (Bowie much much love for your music )
One of the most underrated Bush songs.
Popped up in my head after not hearing it in 15 years.
Same! I have no idea why, but it came to my mind all of a sudden, just like that, I didn't even remember the title, I had to google the lyrics to find it, that's crazy!
Terri Shaw that old..Damn
Same shit here
So apparently it’s the theme song for “the crossing” on abc and that’s how I got reminded of it again. I think it’s just the instrumental part, but I was like, fuck, I forgot about this
It's pure art
RIP Joel Schumacher, this is still one of the most memorable videos I've seen.
The string quartet break at 1:44 and gorgeous string accompaniment throughout lets you know this is no ordinary rock ballad. Transcendent. And then pairing it with this visual feast of a video? Too, too perfect.
This song is a timeless classic.
From someone who literally went to the razorblade suitcase tour in 98 or so. Bush is one of the bands that I constantly listen too 25 years later. Most of their songs hit harder for me the older I get and the more bullshit I go through
Ain’t that the truth. Life hasn’t gotten easier the way I always thought it would.
Oh hell no, the older we get the more shit we go through.
When MTV used to run videos in the mornings they played this fucking song every single day. Hearing this riff is like hearing an alarm clock for me.
I remember that. Used to watch in the morning before 8th grade. And they did play this. And Korn, Limp Bizkit, etc. All the bands of that era.
I forget what he was trying to convey in the music video. It's so mysterious. The hand painting on the wall. I wonder if music videos mean anything to kids now days , the way music videos meant for us back then and how they really told their own stories. The 90s.
@@JHD6045 you were born in 86 hahaha. Me too. I was in 8th grade. That’s so funny.
@@Duzz14 84' 1999 was a hellof a year for music
@@JHD6045 it really was. How many times did you play Californication that summer? That, There is Nothing Left to Lose came later, Significant Other came out in like June. It was probably even bigger that year than both of them. Which is crazy to think about now. Slim Shady LP....that’s just a few. One of my all time favorite albums “The Fragile” NIN which I bought the first day it came out at strawberries. Man I miss those days
Who’s still listening to real music in 2023!?
On repeat
still in 24

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever made.
Agreed ❤
If people only understand how deeply cutting and painful the lyrics of this song is... cuts my soul to peices every time I listen to it.
Most people do understand and know the story behind it.
@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 I agree with you
@@Storminsanity What's the story behind the song?
@Jannick-ip9jv Gavin said he wrote from what I remember he said in a an interview he wrote it about a friend who had hiv.
2020!! The one episode of Charmed in season 2 when Leo was comforting Piper at the end brought me here and plus I fucking love 90s/early 2000s era rock.
that scene and s4e20 ending when Courage started playing.. are the two scenes that had me crying...
Charmed S02e20
Yess❤️
Just watched that episode and brought me here too! ❤️
Same here just like you all. Tried to watch the new Charmed TV Show but it doesn't sit well I guess.
One of the most beautiful songs ever recorded
I can't think of many that beat it for the painful beauty of the song, and I was around in the late 70s memory wise.
This song is hauntingly captivating.
Listening this in 2023, alone in a car trip at a rainy night... and thinking about life. What a perfect picture!
I'm 37 years old. I've been a fan of Bush since I was in the 8th grade. Still love them
Hot guy singing a sweet song about sadness.
This song is about a close friend of Bush frontman lead singer Gavin Rossdale who had the HIV illness, but didn't tell anyone for six months because was ashamed. When Gavin found out, he felt real bad that his friend didn't feel comfortable talking about it, and wrote this about breaking the silence.
Hauntingly beautiful song about depression and how it affects more than just the person afflicted. The lyrics, the mood, the music...just a great great song. Crushingly sad
First time i think it was about the relationship conversation! 😁😂
I think I’ve read that this song was written for a friend of the band’s who was suffering from an illness at the time but I don’t remember the details, and yesss, it’s a sad but beautiful song.
Is about friend with aids. 😢
video implies a rape
Snes love no it doesn’t. At all.
I use to have crippling depression. I wallowed in it.
Still get sad, often. Still cherish this peice of music.
2022 and I am not ever leaving ! 🤘🏻 this song is pure art 🖼
2023 🤘
I saw them in April 1997, some of us never left.
I lived through some of the best eras for music - 80s (pre-teen, teen, very young adult) and 90s (20something). Punk, pop, rock, grunge...whether a mosh pit or my own bedroom, I adored it all and rocked out as much as possible. And yet somehow I always gravitated to the most melancholy song(s) on any album, and still do. This is one of my favorites, because the quiet, slower-paced music was a bit of departure for them at the time, the lyrics cut deep, and the synthesis of the two is perfect.
One of the best songs ever written and performed, a shame not enough people know about it.
Most underrated band in the nineties. 3 of the best albums of all time. Razor blade Suitcase is a goddamn masterpiece
Razorblade Suitcase is one of my favorite albums of all time. I still love it even more than sixteen stone
Favorite song since the day it come out
They're really NOT that underrated dude they were huge in the 90s people SERIOUSLY need to stop overusing that fucking word! Every single video I click on...underrated underrated underrated. Omg if I see that godamn word used for a band or a song one more damn time imma lose it!!! Next thing I know, someone's going to call nirvana underrated I swear tfg.
@Patrick Whelpley oh my GOD I know. People are ridiculously and unabashedly redundant nowadays absolute SHEEPLE!
@Patrick Whelpley I HATE the year one!!!
It’s 2024 and this masterpiece still brings back beautiful memories. Never fails to give me that exact feeling
Im so happy with this song in 2023! Omg this belongs to my heart and soul!
I love songs like this from Bush..Gavin’s voice just tears at my soul…❤️All these years later since the 90s..I’m just so glad Gavin kept pushing and making years & years of good music. This song gives me the save feels as Bonedriven…I love it so much
Agreed
2023 and still listening to this song almost daily since I learned how to play and sing it back in 2001. One of my favorite songs to play and sing. It always shocks me how many people have never heard this song when I play it. I love this song
Kind of hauntingly beautiful and dark.
I am still listening in 2022! Probably forever i will
Still one of my favorite bands after 25 years!
Yep, me to buddy
Perfect song for a rainy walk.
It reminds me the naivety I lived when I was younger.
I can't believe this was released when I was 17 years old! I'm 41 now and this is still probably my favorite song of theirs. I still remember calling the radio station over and over again requesting this song. I don't understand why it wasn't played more... highly underrated song. 🤘🖤
Unintentionally ended up here... I was going to write something really profound... I'm 35 and coming across this almost has me in tears...........
James J same here, I'm 34 tho lol also almost cried tho
James J im 28 now heard this when i was 12 geez man
Heaven is on the way
I’m 40 soon. Reminds me of been in 1999 when I got this on cd. Stand out track. Reminds me of getting of getting divorced. “Silence is not the way” very profound.
1983 here.... i feel ya bro
Still my jam at the end of 2021.. Gavin, you are timeless
This is one I could listen to over and over and over. 🤍🕊
2022~~😊😊😊
2022 and I will always love this song~~
I was 19 when this song came out and had such a school girl crush on Gavin that my brain practically short circuited when he was painting on the walls. Now I'm 42 and married, and "silence is not the way" holds a lot more meaning for me. ❤
Me too I was 19 when this song came out and now I’m
42
25 years later this music still hits the soul hard. I'm so happy that after all this time I'm finally going to watch Bush's show in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 2025! See you at the Premium Track, Gavin!
Bush - Letting The Cables Sleep... Simply amazing, sad and one of a kind. It’s Sunday May 24, 2020 “Quarantine” 😔
You in the dark
You in the pain
You on the run
Living a hell
Living your ghost
Living your end
Never seem to get in the place that I belong
Don't wanna lose the time, lose the time to come
Whatever you say, it's alright
Whatever you do, it's all good
Whatever you say, it's alright
Silence is not the way
We need to talk about it
If heaven is on the way
If heaven is on the way
You in the sea
On a decline
Breaking the waves
Watching the lights go down
Letting the cables sleep
Whatever you say, it's alright
Whatever you do, it's all good
Whatever you say, it's alright
Silence is not the way
We need to talk about it
If heaven is on the way
We'll wrap the world around it
If heaven is on the way
If heaven is on the way
I'm a stranger in this town
I'm a stranger in this town
I'm a stranger in this town
If heaven is on the way
If heaven is on the way
I'm a stranger in this town
I'm a stranger in this town
👍👍👍
Sadly, the theme of the video doesn’t fit the lyrics. Both are beautiful, but separately.
I wish I’d told my best friend more about how amazing he was for just being him and he didn’t need secrets. But he passed too soon. We used to listen to this song together all the time when it first came out. Maybe it was enough.
¡Muchas gracias! 🍷
2024?! This is my eternal jam! Its beauty and pain all rolled up in one ❤😢
The Science of Things, I bought the CD during their tour when this jam had just dropped on my local station. Still love this one.
This song is so beautiful!
So many memories!
Cheers from Portugal!
Esta musica é de uma qualidade muito acima da média, ainda bem que ha mais portugueses a gostar de boa musica
2023, I'll singlehandedly keep this song alive if i need to.
I remember purchasing this album when I was 15 years old.
1 month before year 2024, still listening and still gives goosebumps after 24 years...
Looked up this song after hearing it on the intro to the ER episode "such sweet sorrow". OMG fell in love with it, the band and Gavin! Where has this song been all my life ❤
2024 ?? Yup, I'm here ❤
2025 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Fell in love with Gavin at the age 14 and I am now 36 and still think he is sexyfied like no other! His voice was like something I had never heard before and it just made me melt into a puddle. Not really sure what he has been lately because of my many health problems that I have kinda checked out of realty for a long while. I am glad to be back into listening to music again.
Rachel Bateman same here 36 loved him for years since my teens
used to sit in my friends drive way when we were seniors in high school....and he would argue with this dad of he wasnt going out and drinking just to a friends house and i would turn it up louder...im 35... so that was in like 1999
You all know he's unfaithful to Gwen Stefani right? He'll be unfaithful to you too.
hope nothing than the best for you
I remember the moment I realized music was no longer a part of my life… That was the moment I change my life. Always keep music in your soul always keep music in your soul.
Hear this song on the way home. Reminded me of my stepmother's suicide over a decade ago. We had a fight, and I moved out. I came home to a suicide note, cops, and EMTs. I never got to apologize, and still carry the burden to this day.
I hate the emotions this song brings, but it's beauty keeps me coming back.
I hope that you know thats not your fault. There was a hell of a lot more going on. I dont know you or your situation but as a surviver of a suicide attempt and a loved one of someone who completed suicide there was a lot more going on. I am really truly sorry for your loss hun 💔
This song helped me with my depression, thank you Bush
Me too
This song is an autentic masterpiece!
One of the best songs ever written imo. Really hits home about depression and how you should talk about it.
I had discovered this song shortly before my dad passed from cancer, it brings me right back.. to him being too afraid to even talk about his own mortality..to us never getting the chance to acknowledge what was really happening.. to our last serious conversation when he told me how sad he was that my addiction had prevented me from ever experiencing real life.. There were so many things we needed to talk about, but now we never can. This song has become part of all those memories.
The first time that I ever heard this song was from 1 of my favorite shows CHARMED!! Of course one of the scenes from the show was very sad because Piper was extremely upset when they weren't able to save someone!
Same here! Such a powerful moment.
Astral Monkey episode, It felt like THE moment Piper realizes the danger magic can have on the innocent, the moment Leo puts his arms around Piper in comfort, makes me want to do a rerun on Charmed.
I cannot be the only one that really love this incredible song?!?!?!?! Seriously guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes you are. Everyone else on this comment section is pranking you
You're not the only one who loves this song.
2023 and this song still gives goose bumps after not hearing it for 10+ years
statement
Still here. 2024.
When i feel sad, the song got me.
This is one of my favorite Bush songs.
Me and my brother were remembering old songs and we reminded this one. It's actually interesting how more intense they sound because I understand them with more maturity.
Always thought this was Bush's great one.
I've balled my eyes out to this song. It got me through one of my toughest moments in my life.
Melhor música do Bush, sem dúvida! Belíssima, soturna, melancólica, profunda, única!
Concordo

Haven't listened to this song in 20 some years, yet I still remember the lyrics and can sing along like it was yesterday.
I remember they used this track in season 2, episode 20 of Charmed.
Yas..that's when in i 1st heard this song..knew about bush just not this song til charmed

I binge watch that show and am disappointed the scene is a diff song on netflix. But when i did watch this on tv i totally fell in love with this song and it fits perfectly for that scene.
Astral Monkey 2x20 Charmed
Escena final Piper llora
Yeah, and I was trying so hard to look for this song those years. I heard it once in this series and fell in love❤️
I've loved this song since it came out. My best friend recently died of brain cancer, and this song now hits SO much harder. He didn't want to talk about the situation and I was left trying to figure out what to do. "Silence is not the way, I'm a stranger in this town" just devastates me. I still don't know if I handled everything right, I tried so hard to be there for him and his family but felt so lost. The sadness in this song echos my own.
Great band. Great lyrics. Beautiful song.
A gem of a song!
Still jamming this gem in 2023
There was a poetry to lyrics in this era. Obscure, but focused; distant, but right in your face; ethereal, but thick and real.
One of the Best Musicians of the World !! And We Thank You for your Life in this World !!❤
this song is totally underrated! people... it should have billions of views!
this piece of music resonates with an aching soul, much needed today as we proper humans know
One of the best bands I've ever seen Live!!!
cada nota dessa musica é um tiro no peito. Marcou demais a minha vida e até hoje ouço. Linda demais. Uma das canções mais belas que ja ouvi.
Concordo plenamente com cada palavra que vc disse! Escuto essa música desde 1999, e sempre me dá uma sensação única.

Been listening to their music since the 90’s , I was a little girl in love with these magical sounds , didn’t even know how or why I could relate to it but I did . ❤❤❤
