Miss you mom. She loved spice girls and this song was played this alot in my home before passing away in 2004 as a memorial for her friend. I remember her crying to this missing her closest friend. Now i come back to this now and again sometimes when im really missing her, and i tear up everytime. Grown ass man crying over a spice girls son lol but man this hits so fcking hard.
I really miss the 90s where every band/group/artist in every genre made beautiful and meaningful music. Even a metalhead like me can enjoy music like this.
I'm 37 years old and I still remember when Geri left the Spice Girls. Cried for a whole week. This song still gets me chills and makes me cry like back then. Can't get over it.
This song is one of the saddest I know. I think a lot of the power comes from the fact that it meshed perfectly with the Spice Girls' story in two different ways. On the obvious level, they were saying goodbye to Geri, who had left the group. But on another level, the girls were saying goodbye to us. I think they knew that the Spice Girls moment was ending, and were probably aware of this second meaning to the song as they wrote and sang it. I think many of their fans understood it that way too. Many of their fans were quite young, so some might not have understood yet the way pop moments come and go, but I bet even they felt it.
Well, now I'm crying. Thanks a lot. I grew up with Spice Girls, I loved them so much. I want to go back to when I was 9, 10 y/o, not a care in the world. Sigh ...
I'm in tears here listening. Remembering 20 years ago. My God. I'm 43 y'o... What a melody ! Lyrics ! Powerful and gentle voices. Each one with their own personality... I miss you all Girls.
"Look for the rainbow in every storm. Find out for certain, loves gonna be there for you. You'll always be someone's baby." I adore the way she sings those words. When this song came out, I had been a Spice Girls fan since the beginning, and when I first heard this, as a fan, I wept. I felt as if they were singing to the fans. It's a beautiful song and it will always be. LoveU Spice Girls and ThankU for being a part of my life 😘
And it is very significant that it's Mel B who sings that part (mostly that of "you'll always be someone's baby"), cosidering the reason why Geri left :/
3 albums, 100 million copy in only six years, break up at the peak of their career, the best selling girlband in history. I can't say nothing more for their greatness
And unlike most pop stars of that era they actually wrote their music, sing their sonhs and created their choreography (at least their first album). People that say they were manufactured because they auditioned and chosen to be in a girl group... but they came up with the SPICE theme and names.
@@jmoliere1207 thats not even close to true... the first was an Italian singer back in 1958. Since then weve had The Beatles, Elton John U2, Shinead O'Conner, ABBA, Rolling Stones etc etc
This is the sweetest song they have ever recorded and it still makes me very emotional to hear it. i'm almost 40 years old. There is something about the last minute and a half that makes me feel like i am saying a bittersweet goodbye to a loved one or that they're saying goodbye to me. It's just a great song.
My sister and I were the biggest Spice Girl fans when we were growing up, in Feb 2008 she sadly passed away aged 19, we played this song at her funeral surrounded by all of her friends and family. It’s still hard to listen to without tears but always reminds me of what we had ❤️
I’m 32 and I still feel the heartbreak and sadness every time I hear this song...Geri leaving was the first heartbreak a lot of us preteen/teens felt...it could have never been the same without her 😔💕
It's easily one of my all time favourite songs, as well as one that gets me extremely emotional. Not just due to nostalgia, but it's a song relatable to anyone's life.
Yes Mel C for me as well, her vocals in ViVa Forever gets me every time. You can hear Mel C's soprano vocals in the chorus one the "Goodbye my friend, it's not the end" portion here and it gives me chills!
I've always thought she had the best voice of the group, But Geri and Emma were pushed for the "... appel" and Victoria was also eye candy. To me without Mel C and Mel B it wouldn't have been as amazing as they were. No hate I just thought that they were the best.
I played this at my daughter’s funeral because she was always such girl power & this song seemed like the perfect fit with her personality! ❤ Plus I had always loved the Spice Girls too & used to be so in love with Sporty (Mel C aka Melanie Chisholm…) ❤
I cried my eyes out when this single first came out. Geri leaving was too much for my preteen heart to handle😭 i truly think it's the first thing that made me realize that nothing last forever. Spice Girls were teaching life lessons lol
But you have to understand, Geri was hurting too. She was honest to God madly in love with Mel. But when Mel got pregnant Geri was crushed. I know how hard it is to be around the person you love when that person betrayed that love.
@@jamesmurphy8676 No. Mel 'B'.....AKA Scary Spice. See these days no one cares. But back then, being openly gay or bi could absolutely ruin you. Sad but very much true.
Spice Girls could certainly belt out a Christmas number one. Crazy to think that they basically came and went in under three years. Short-lived, but era-defining.
I've been listening to the Spice Girls since I was in high school and people thought I was crazy, but the music brought so much joy and positive energy to me that I didn't care. I proudly blast this music with pride. I am beyond thankful for everything your ladies did to help me make it through very hard times. Spice Girls forever!
I don't think the Spice Girls will ever die. These girls left behind a legacy that no one can compare to. 19 years later and they are still talked about. I will never stop being a Spice Fan. I love these girls endlessly.
The thing I like about the Spice Girls is that they are very easy to listen to. Their voices aren't so aggressive. There are some singers that are great, with power, and attitude, but their voices are overly aggressive and can give you a heart attack. Spice Girls have really chill voices and you just relax when you listen.
That's absolutely absurd and it's wrong! The singer's tone in a song is an important one as it helps to promote the overall effect of the song that's being presented. And of course, there is a sense of sending the right type of tone with the right type of song in order to connect with the one whose listening. However, you are suggesting that in many songs with powerful singers is that they are aggressive with their tones in the songs that they sing and that is just not so. It's okay to love tones that are mellow, in which you are accustomed to but don't inadvertently use that as a excuse as to not to listen to songs with high level feelings and or emotions. After all, that's what tone represents in a song. What should be focused on is the message in that particular song. Don't be a one thing person!
The impact these girls had and still have on many of us is impressive. Sure, other groups came along, had great success as well, but there's something magical about the Spice Girls. That IT thing that others can't replicate.
You’re right. I’m 19 and they’re my favorite girl band. They were more than a band but a movement too. There will not be another girl band like them. They didn’t need to appear naked or singing vulgar words to become the biggest girl band of all time.
I love how this song is filled with love and respect. You can also feel the pain but at the same time there's something graceful and optimistic. I rarely see something like that when someone leaves a group/band. Great attitude from Spice Girls ❤
Would listen to this song on repeat when I was younger. 20 odd years later and with so many loved ones passed, the words hit in such a different way now ❤❤
The first English song that I heard during my childhood. This song inspired me to study abroad but I failed getting scholarship to UK. Now Im here studying in Tokyo... I am still hoping that someday I can go to UK
Best song about the end of a friendship. It's sad that it's over and you have to respect that, but no matter what happens nothing can ever undo the great times you had together and you can both still be happy for each other.
Oh boy this walloped me in my face, as a teen i had a bestie thatwas the most amazing bestie ive ever had and our friendahip ended, i miss her dearly but the friendship is over and i have to respect that..this comment made me smile and made me finally let go..thanks
Probably the best song they recorded. Mel C is absolutely gorgeous in this video, she always was my favourite and was without a shadow of a doubt the strongest singer in the group.xx
2022, my cat passed away yesterday and this beautiful song makes me think about the love we felt for each other 💖 I know she's gone but I can still feel her here 🥰
I can feel your words.3 days ago my sweet little baby and best friend-my cat minka- left this world and mine. 14 years we spend our time together and she was my soulcat
@@MoMo-vu7bg I'm so sorry for your loss :( It's a pain we cannot explain because they're parts of our hearts and souls. But be sure she will always be watching over you from heaven, and there she can be friends with my beloved kitties Camila and Titi ❤
oh the memiroes god i want a time machine xx how times and things have changed i want the 90s bk xx spice girls always have been and always have been great xx
This song represents more than just a member leaving a girl group. It signifies the end of an amazing 3 years with a girl group that changed a lot of our lives. We felt betrayal when Geri left. She not only left the group but she left our lives and for a lot of us teenagers it was our first time of feeling betrayed. Yeah deep but at the time it really hurt. Goodbye was the last song they did as a group who actually wanted to be together. Forever was completed just to prove they could release another album without Geri, but their hearts weren’t in it.
Forever is actually a really good album, there was just no mega promotions behind it unlike the first 2 albums. Vocally they sound amazing in forever, people only downplay it cause it wasent as successful as spice and spice world. Plus they had grown as people and the entertainment industry had changed to, r&b and hip hop was breaking through at the time. So of course they where gonna sound different can't keep the sound of there first album forever.
I'm 32 and now showing my 5 year old just how amazing they were I used to record they songs of the radio onto a cassette tape 😂 this still touches my heart
So much memories from the song. I remember the MTV days.. No youtube yet. People depend on radio and MTV and other music video channels on cable. Good ol' days
Hoy solo las baladas de este tipo venden y suenan en el mundo anglo. En América latina ya no se escucha este tipo de música. Lamentablemente la misoginia del trap y del reguetton lo invadió todo
@@LuisGonzalez-we4ie lo que es a mi le doy con todo el parlante ni saben que es bueno pero yo me encargo no soy mujer fácil de conquistar en la musica.
Algum tempo atrás era todos os dias as músicas deste grupo tocando nos rádios, tvs etc. E não enjoava. Estas moças além de lindas, cantavam bem e dançavam bem também....
The song simply exuding spark of hopes, positive vibes and melancholic sort of feel on reminiscing something beautiful. It would be dealing with a shattered dream, memories you sow with love ones, highschool or departure of pet and person moving away from your life and refuse to look back. The persona of 'Spice Girls' is dynamic within this song..., the harmony and orchestration simply essentuates the beautifulness of this masterpiece. I would say one of a strong ballad song in their discography
I remember voting for this video on TRL with Carson Daily. Oh those were the days when videos were on TV. One of the best spice girls videos. This song is so touching, makes me want to cry.
This reminds me of my dear friend Julie rowe we were friends for 36 years she sadly passed away last November from cancer just 47 I miss her so much and everyday 😢
I had every doll! All the suckers..books..posters..Everything!..I was devastated when it ended..I couldn’t even watch this video cause it was like their goodbye..still makes me sad 😢..but!..it looks like they’re getting back together and I’m sooooo happy!!!
Emma Bunton on this video looked so stunningly gorgeous! I have always loved her but I also liked the rest of its members. As a kid growing up listening to them in the 90s I cried about the news when they broke up. My mom bought the cassette tape for me to use on my Walkman! Haha! How time flies! I still love them and I will be a fan of these ladies forever. Nothing compares!
When i hear this song i remember of my singing teacher, today he pass away becuase of the fucking cancer. He teached me when i was 13 years, he always was transparent and happy. Rest in peace Andres😢
I couldn't listen to this song for the longest time because I felt so sad and betrayed when Geri left the group. I didn't want to say goodbye! This song still makes me cry.
No, no, no, no No, no, no, no Listen, little child, there will come a day When you will be able, able to say Never mind the pain or the aggravation You know there's a better way for you and me to be Look for the rainbow in every storm Fly like an angel heaven sent to me Goodbye, my friend (I know you're gone, you said you're gone, but I can still feel you here) It's not the end (I gotta keep it strong before the pain turns into fear) So glad we made it Time will never change it, no, no, no No, no, no, no Just a little girl, big imagination Never letting no one take it away Went into the world (Into the world), what a revelation She found there's a better way for you and me to be Look for the rainbow in every storm Find out for certain love's gonna be there for you You'll always be someone's baby Goodbye, my friend (I know you're gone, you said you're gone, but I can still feel you here) It's not the end (I gotta keep it strong before the pain turns into fear) So glad we made it Time will never change it, no, no, no No, no, no, no (You know it's time to say goodbye) The times when we would play about The way we used to scream and shout We never dreamt you'd go your own sweet way Look for the rainbow in every storm Find out for certain love's gonna be there for you You'll always be someone's baby Goodbye, my friend (I know you're gone, you said you're gone, but I can still feel you here) It's not the end (I gotta keep it strong before the pain turns into fear) So glad we made it Time will never, never ever change it No, no, no, no (You know it's time to say goodbye) No, no, no, no (And don't forget you can rely) No, no, no, no (You know it's time to say goodbye, and don't forget, on me you can rely) No, no, no, no (I will help, help you on your way, I will be with you every day) No, no, no, no (I will be with you every day)
Miss you mom. She loved spice girls and this song was played this alot in my home before passing away in 2004 as a memorial for her friend. I remember her crying to this missing her closest friend. Now i come back to this now and again sometimes when im really missing her, and i tear up everytime. Grown ass man crying over a spice girls son lol but man this hits so fcking hard.

💙💙
🤍
Know the feeling my mum went into hospital wen this was number 1 she didn’t come home 🥲
So sorry for you loss.
Brings tears to my eyes even after 2 decades.... The era when music was at its best and most meaningful.
yes:( i’m so happy i was there to live it, i miss the purity and fun and escape it provided, now, in this chaotic, superficial world
Right!?!?! like, this song still kinda hurts the same as it did back then.
Powerful ❤

Yeah I'm into rock and hip hop but here I am too.
I'm with you mate. Metal is in my heart but THIS is awesome

I'm 37 years old and I still remember when Geri left the Spice Girls. Cried for a whole week. This song still gets me chills and makes me cry like back then. Can't get over it.
Same age. Same feelings. And same ❤
Me too;)) I986.born
I think Geri would bring that forever in their shoulders, when she grow up, I think she really understood what she did.
Im 37yo too. Me and my cousins were spice girls during our teenage life and we used to dance whenever there's an event in our village😄

I was so sad when they stopped singing. Now I play this in memory of my friend.
Well, now I'm crying. Thanks a lot. I grew up with Spice Girls, I loved them so much. I want to go back to when I was 9, 10 y/o, not a care in the world. Sigh ...
I remember it, I was about 9 or 10, when geri left I knew it was the beginning of the end, so sad such great memories
Amen..well said my friend..
If you grew up listening to this kind of music,THEN YOUR CHILDHOOD WAS AWESOME!!!!!
TELL ME ABOUT IT.👍👍👏👏😎😎
Yep your right i made my mum buy wannabe the week it came out.
Grew up listening to this, along with heavy rock and death metal. My playlists are...interesting. I'm a musician. I just appreciate music.
You put this comment on another spice girls video
Or your Gay
I'm in tears here listening. Remembering 20 years ago. My God. I'm 43 y'o... What a melody ! Lyrics ! Powerful and gentle voices. Each one with their own personality... I miss you all Girls.

One of their most elegant and beautiful songs.
Composed by Emma Bunton with a little help from Geri. But Emma finished this so they could release it in time for Geri's farewell.

Reading the start of this comment just had me balling my eyes out now.
And it is very significant that it's Mel B who sings that part (mostly that of "you'll always be someone's baby"), cosidering the reason why Geri left :/

They came in, conquered and left. #icons.

This is the sweetest song they have ever recorded and it still makes me very emotional to hear it. i'm almost 40 years old. There is something about the last minute and a half that makes me feel like i am saying a bittersweet goodbye to a loved one or that they're saying goodbye to me.
It's just a great song.
I'm 53 and this song makes me cry every time!
Same here, turning 40 and this song has a pinch in my heart...spice girls is one our fave group during 90s. Very nostalgic...
And “mama” is a very sweet song
Are they saying goodbye to Geri? I feel like the song was written for her
@@hermionealexander5675 yes it was
Mel C kills it in every song, her singing at the end of this tune is lush!
I agree so much with you!!
Lush and cush baby...lush and cush
Lush and cush baby...lush and cush
I am truly just appreciating her vocals in the group she really is great
There's a reason why she's got the most solo albums out after the spice girls.
My sister and I were the biggest Spice Girl fans when we were growing up, in Feb 2008 she sadly passed away aged 19, we played this song at her funeral surrounded by all of her friends and family. It’s still hard to listen to without tears but always reminds me of what we had ❤️
Remember her as she was, Danny; she's now in Heaven.
That’s so sad yet uplifting at the same time. ❤️
I played this at my best friends funeral to. It means alot
I'm really sorry for your lost
So sorry to hear your loss sending hugs 🤗 ❤️❤️

Same here girl!!!

I am 40 years old.
These girls were great for the music industry...their music touched many worldwide
I’m 32 and I still feel the heartbreak and sadness every time I hear this song...Geri leaving was the first heartbreak a lot of us preteen/teens felt...it could have never been the same without her 😔💕
I'm 31 years old I still listen to this song I do sometimes miss my Childhood/Teenage years
Same age, same feeling. I can see us as little girls with our hearts broken.
It's easily one of my all time favourite songs, as well as one that gets me extremely emotional. Not just due to nostalgia, but it's a song relatable to anyone's life.
Que orgulho ter vivido essa epoca anos 80 , 42 anos hj 2024 alguem mas

Yes Mel C for me as well, her vocals in ViVa Forever gets me every time. You can hear Mel C's soprano vocals in the chorus one the "Goodbye my friend, it's not the end" portion here and it gives me chills!

The thing I like about the Spice Girls is that they are very easy to listen to. Their voices aren't so aggressive. There are some singers that are great, with power, and attitude, but their voices are overly aggressive and can give you a heart attack. Spice Girls have really chill voices and you just relax when you listen.
That's absolutely absurd and it's wrong! The singer's tone in a song is an important one as it helps to promote the overall effect of the song that's being presented. And of course, there is a sense of sending the right type of tone with the right type of song in order to connect with the one whose listening. However, you are suggesting that in many songs with powerful singers is that they are aggressive with their tones in the songs that they sing and that is just not so. It's okay to love tones that are mellow, in which you are accustomed to but don't inadvertently use that as a excuse as to not to listen to songs with high level feelings and or emotions.

Absolutely right. Something special with Spice girls.
They celebrates differences of each other and tells their fans to go out and don’t care what other people will say
They are so popular that everybody knows at least wannabe. Everyone

You will get here! Dream & Believe.
me too everytime i hear this song it makes me cry :'(
OMFG IM SO JEALOUS I LIKE TO STUDY IN TOKYO O-O
Best song about the end of a friendship. It's sad that it's over and you have to respect that, but no matter what happens nothing can ever undo the great times you had together and you can both still be happy for each other.
Oh boy this walloped me in my face, as a teen i had a bestie thatwas the most amazing bestie ive ever had and our friendahip ended, i miss her dearly but the friendship is over and i have to respect that..this comment made me smile and made me finally let go..thanks
Still makes me cry :'(
Hi Amy! ❤️

+Amy Lee (Amy Lee33) same here
Love you Amy!
r u talking about evansscence?
Used to be one of my Sister's fav. She passed away 7 years ago... Memories memories
Probably the best song they recorded. Mel C is absolutely gorgeous in this video, she always was my favourite and was without a shadow of a doubt the strongest singer in the group.xx
I'm so proud of Mel C she's from widnes and I live in widnes 💜💙💜💙
MEECHIO Holler was their best song in the Forever album
This is our graduation song when i was in high school.. my 90's is full of spice girls.. ❤❤❤❤
2022, my cat passed away yesterday and this beautiful song makes me think about the love we felt for each other 💖 I know she's gone but I can still feel her here 🥰
Much love to you xx
I can feel your words.3 days ago my sweet little baby and best friend-my cat minka- left this world and mine. 14 years we spend our time together and she was my soulcat
@@MoMo-vu7bg I'm so sorry for your loss :( It's a pain we cannot explain because they're parts of our hearts and souls. But be sure she will always be watching over you from heaven, and there she can be friends with my beloved kitties Camila and Titi ❤
me too
fkn looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
This song just randomly popped into my head I lived for these women in my pre teen and teen years
Goodbye and Viva Forever were my favourite out of all their songs. Very emotional and heartfelt lyrics 🥰. Best girl group ever! ❤
oh the memiroes god i want a time machine xx how times and things have changed i want the 90s bk xx spice girls always have been and always have been great xx
me too but not cos of Spice Girls, mostly cos of Disneys golden age. and stay there forever
Gem Capsticks spice girls and TLC will always be the greatest girl group
My dad loved this song now it makes me cry every time its been almost 8 years he's been gone
here i am in 2023.. soothing my old soul
Chills Mel c did so good on this song 💜
Ashlee Michelle i would say in every single song
Mel has gone more beautiful as she's got older, like a fine wine
Perfect winter vibes in December 2020 - who’s listening!?

I LOVE MUSIC.

Best female group of all time.. Still hoping to see them again in music industry! 😍
My sister and I met Emma Bunton in 2014! She was so incredibly sweet!
wait fr ? how’s she like off camera
We fans literally had a breakdown when Spice Girls disbanded!! This song always makes me cry... 😭😭😭😭😭💕💕💕💕💕
They should have carried on as 4 stupidity that's what it was!! NOBODY Was missing ginger bimbbette had no voice anyway
Hello I like this songs yes for friend you make cry
Hell yea I was upset when they disband
@@Daydream30583 I agree. Just like Westlife carried on for years after one guy left.
I was resentful for a while but got over it 😅
they sound great ,one of their best songs
Agreed 100 % 😊😄😆🤗🤓☝👏🖒👌
Epic 😁
This song represents more than just a member leaving a girl group. It signifies the end of an amazing 3 years with a girl group that changed a lot of our lives. We felt betrayal when Geri left. She not only left the group but she left our lives and for a lot of us teenagers it was our first time of feeling betrayed. Yeah deep but at the time it really hurt. Goodbye was the last song they did as a group who actually wanted to be together. Forever was completed just to prove they could release another album without Geri, but their hearts weren’t in it.
Forever is actually a really good album, there was just no mega promotions behind it unlike the first 2 albums. Vocally they sound amazing in forever, people only downplay it cause it wasent as successful as spice and spice world. Plus they had grown as people and the entertainment industry had changed to, r&b and hip hop was breaking through at the time. So of course they where gonna sound different can't keep the sound of there first album forever.
I think one if not the best of their songs!
RIP Dad, you were one of my very few best friends. Thank you for everything. From you girl always xxxx 😪😥💋💋💋
Sorry for your loss💙
@@jazz1egurl19 thank you darlin. He died on 2nd of July very suddenly. Im still in shock 😭😭😭😭🤗🤗🤗🥰😘❤💋💋💋
So sorry for your loss...U have a guardian angel now.I sending you support and strength.
I lost my dad this year. I understand how you feel
“You gotta keep it strong before the pain turns into fear” wow, how true what a meaningful thing to sing
Lucky X I agree and can totally relate.
the phrase that I could totally feel on a spiritual level🖤
My mate thought it was" keep it strong before the painters interfere " what a wierdo

O Brasil ta aqui!!! Amo Spice Girls incondicionalmente! Choro quando escuto... Meus 12 e 13 anos 1997 e 1998
Amo demais tbm, tinha 17 anos e tínhamos um grupo, q imitavamos elas ❤
Somos duas
@@magnamesquita6580 também gosto... tempo de musicas boas esse
@@moniquesantos5430 muito bom esse tempo so musicas boas lindaa como essa. Eu tinha 13 anos
@@magnamesquita6580 Tbm tinha uma grupo couver delas
Love listening to this reminds me of when i was a kid when times were easier and happier ❤
Mel C has such an amazing voice!
LikeAnUnusualStar She really does! She doesn’t get the credit she deserves.
They all have amazing voices 🤗
@NOT YOUThey're BOTH so HOT!
In my opinion her high notes are so irritating! She is talented yes but not for every taste
@NOT YOU And Danny to McFly
RIP Naya Rivera (1987-2020)
So sad and hurted
Now, you fly like an angel that heaven sent to us
💓 naya was a beautiful soul
@@renee8669 you're right, Naya is a heroine because of saving her own son's life
She is such an angel 😇
Santana
@@damdaung8369 a parent’s love for their child is stronger than any weapon
I'm 32 and now showing my 5 year old just how amazing they were I used to record they songs of the radio onto a cassette tape 😂 this still touches my heart
True that sister I born 1990 grew up
I use to do the same, we understand the value of waiting for our fvrt hits so much, with patience, for the FM to play it
👍❤️
When this song came out I'd just lost my grandmother.
Such a beautiful song+lyrics💜🙏🏼
I'm so sorry for your loss. Grandmother's are the best ❤
@@stroseblue Ty. Much appreciated
@@LadyJ82NI you're welcome 🙏
My all time fav Spice Girls song! Mel Cs singing is extraordinary in this video, she’s stunning in the video too. Emma is so beautiful 😍
I think Mel C stands out in a lot of their songs, but not in this song. Mel B stands out more in this one if you ask me 😃
So much memories from the song. I remember the MTV days.. No youtube yet. People depend on radio and MTV and other music video channels on cable. Good ol' days
indeed!
Que época mágica!
Verdade
Hoy solo las baladas de este tipo venden y suenan en el mundo anglo.
En América latina ya no se escucha este tipo de música. Lamentablemente la misoginia del trap y del reguetton lo invadió todo
Com certeza!
@@LuisGonzalez-we4ie lo que es a mi le doy con todo el parlante ni saben que es bueno pero yo me encargo no soy mujer fácil de conquistar en la musica.
Released 25 years ago today on 14th December 1998. Their third consecutive Christmas number one a week later. Truly. Legends only!
Dedicated to my loving father who just passed away Jan.11/2020. Love you more than life itself, rest in peace.💖💖💖
❤️ from India....
❤️❤️❤️
God bless u ruby foxx. He is in heaven now 🌹
Losing a loving father is so very hard to cope with. Wishing you strength and light, Ruby!
Rest in peace
Algum tempo atrás era todos os dias as músicas deste grupo tocando nos rádios, tvs etc. E não enjoava. Estas moças além de lindas, cantavam bem e dançavam bem também....
the most beautiful song of them! 💛
The song simply exuding spark of hopes, positive vibes and melancholic sort of feel on reminiscing something beautiful. It would be dealing with a shattered dream, memories you sow with love ones, highschool or departure of pet and person moving away from your life and refuse to look back. The persona of 'Spice Girls' is dynamic within this song..., the harmony and orchestration simply essentuates the beautifulness of this masterpiece. I would say one of a strong ballad song in their discography
Mel C is so under-rated what a beautiful voice she has
This comment is so overrated
@@Ronald_Custard your reply doesnt make any sense
@@musicislife.2602 ok
I remember voting for this video on TRL with Carson Daily. Oh those were the days when videos were on TV. One of the best spice girls videos. This song is so touching, makes me want to cry.
I miss the 90's so much :(
this came out in 2000
MrBibi86 No, it came out in December 1998
Me too! The 90's were the best!
Happier times.. the internet was still in its infancy and 9/11 was yet to come.
Strecos me toooo it makes me sad
This reminds me of my dear friend Julie rowe we were friends for 36 years she sadly passed away last November from cancer just 47 I miss her so much and everyday 😢
I'm sorry to hear the lost of your friend may she rest in peace
@@jeffreywilliams8499 thank you x
@@rachaeladams8449 Your Welcome
I had every doll! All the suckers..books..posters..Everything!..I was devastated when it ended..I couldn’t even watch this video cause it was like their goodbye..still makes me sad 😢..but!..it looks like they’re getting back together and I’m sooooo happy!!!
Same for me
MsEbaby4 me too
Emma Bunton on this video looked so stunningly gorgeous! I have always loved her but I also liked the rest of its members. As a kid growing up listening to them in the 90s I cried about the news when they broke up. My mom bought the cassette tape for me to use on my Walkman! Haha! How time flies! I still love them and I will be a fan of these ladies forever. Nothing compares!
Passe o tempo q passar.....nao enjoo de ouvir........linda demais!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Tambem adoro essa musica!
26 years ago today the greatest Spice Girl song was released!!!! Love this song ❤
spice girls are that one group that no matter what song comes on, i know all the words. even in 2013
Justin Mihalco
uncalled for.
They all have suitable vocal parts here - mel b really comes strong in the bridge and im living for it.
Nossa q saudade dessa epoca!!!!
I loss my Dad this October 2024 and this song makes me cry.
When i hear this song i remember of my singing teacher, today he pass away becuase of the fucking cancer. He teached me when i was 13 years, he always was transparent and happy. Rest in peace Andres😢
I couldn't listen to this song for the longest time because I felt so sad and betrayed when Geri left the group. I didn't want to say goodbye! This song still makes me cry.
Yah me too :(
same😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
+Malini me too :(
+Malini Ditto, :( But she had to do what was best for her, like we all should. :) The memories last forever though!
+Malini no bands stay for too long,they can always come back though but yeh,i felt the same rhapsody too.
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
Listen, little child, there will come a day
When you will be able, able to say
Never mind the pain or the aggravation
You know there's a better way for you and me to be
Look for the rainbow in every storm
Fly like an angel heaven sent to me
Goodbye, my friend
(I know you're gone, you said you're gone, but I can still feel you here)
It's not the end
(I gotta keep it strong before the pain turns into fear)
So glad we made it
Time will never change it, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
Just a little girl, big imagination
Never letting no one take it away
Went into the world (Into the world), what a revelation
She found there's a better way for you and me to be
Look for the rainbow in every storm
Find out for certain love's gonna be there for you
You'll always be someone's baby
Goodbye, my friend
(I know you're gone, you said you're gone, but I can still feel you here)
It's not the end
(I gotta keep it strong before the pain turns into fear)
So glad we made it
Time will never change it, no, no, no
No, no, no, no (You know it's time to say goodbye)
The times when we would play about
The way we used to scream and shout
We never dreamt you'd go your own sweet way
Look for the rainbow in every storm
Find out for certain love's gonna be there for you
You'll always be someone's baby
Goodbye, my friend
(I know you're gone, you said you're gone, but I can still feel you here)
It's not the end
(I gotta keep it strong before the pain turns into fear)
So glad we made it
Time will never, never ever change it
No, no, no, no (You know it's time to say goodbye)
No, no, no, no (And don't forget you can rely)
No, no, no, no (You know it's time to say goodbye, and don't forget, on me you can rely)
No, no, no, no (I will help, help you on your way, I will be with you every day)
No, no, no, no (I will be with you every day)
Thank you for the lyrics of the song 🤓👍
Thanks sweetheart for this.
I cry whenever i listen to this song

I never appreciated the Spice Girls at the time but I can’t honestly say now … I love this music.❤
