@@jahendrix1543 I saw them in concert at The Music Box in Chicago , quite awhile back and they were awesome. I love Nightingale. I think they still do concerts Take care.
For those who love TWS and talk about your memories of the 90s, these guys still tour regularly. I encourage you to find some small music venue where they are playing near you and go. They remain a wonderful show. Just saw them a couple of months ago with my girlfriend who had never seen them before, and she was blown away. Their drummer is new, but otherwise they are the same band. Support live music at small venues!!!
I was 14 in 1995 and the first time I heard them ,I loved them! I'm 40 now and still listen to their new and old music. TWS has so much imazing talent! I have a very abnormal serious epilepsy ,and cant go or do certain things (even concerts ) I always wanted to see a concert , but love the fact I can atleast see them on TV.
I dunno Hollywood is very wicked now with the terrible thing s that evolved thru the 2000 's it very Corrupt now the 90 's were interesting and more innocent
This song gives me the chills everytime. I have a weird feeling of nostalgia when I listen to it, not a regular nostalgia though, more like a melancholy, idk how to explain it. It makes me feel like I'm missing something or someone I never knew. I love it but it makes me sad.

After my son died back in May of 2013 I went and just started listening to songs on YT. For some reason I couldn’t get through this one without crying. As time went on I was able to listen to it without tears. I went on here to listen to Silent Lucidity by Queensryche. Toad the Wet Sprocket songs were recommended. I listened to Walk on The Ocean All I Want then this one. After 10 yrs once again it made me cry
My girlfriend senior year of high school was a huge Toad fan and she desperately wanted me to like them, only because she knew how great a band they were and she only wanted to turn as many people on to them as possible. I knew of them but they were just not my scene then(that band with the goofy name??) She gave me this album and I couldn't believe how much I liked their music, how in the hell was I NOT listening to them? She and I did not even make it to prom but my love for this band has endured for over 20 years.
My grandma before she passed away loved this song with all of her heart and I learned it on guitar and played it for he while she was in the hospital and that was the last time I saw her smile before she passed away 3 hours later and this song makes me so sad and happy when I play it because I allways remember the good times we had together.
This song reminds me of my Freshman year in college! That year Toad the Wet Sprocket came to my college (Calvin College) and Hootie & The Blowfish opened for them.
The year this song came out (1992) my Toyota Camry V6 was brand new, still have it, great dependable car. Gin Blossoms and Toad the wet sprocket, in my opinion were probably two of the best bands from the 90's. Lots of good music from that decade, I'm boomer age(70). Think the 90's were the last good decade for music, overall.
Its sad because music like this is so beautiful and sticks with you . You remember the melody and you feel good when it plays. Not all, but so much stuff today has no substance and for so long now is a bunch of whining and rhyming every other sentence. But the rhymes have no thought, they are just put together to get the song sold. And several generations now have no idea what really good music was and can be.
My music appreciation professor in college called the 20th century the death of tonality I disagree I believe most of what is made now and played by mainstream media is the true death of tonality
The past was wonderful. The present is unbearable. It is devastating. Cut and paste to every old song you can find!!! I personally find this song very soothing.

I remember in 94 sitting by the radio waiting for this song to be played. In my humble opinion this is by far Toad's best song. Though maybe not their most popular. Nothing I would change about it. The song is perfect.
I can't believe i totally forgot about this song. This was one of my favorite songs for a season. I had the cassette tape back in 95 or so. Just stumbled upon this song while listening to some other old 90s tunes and the intro gave me nostalgic goosebumps to the bone. Such a beautiful amazing tune.
The theme song I gave my wife the last year we were together. Always something wrong! I could do nothing right. Man life is to short to be so negative. Music is a light we all need, some more than others. Peace.
@@californiaswater5571 nah, not to much. Much worse things are afoot these days. Nothing like a friggin Pandemic to make a person miss the simplicity of the 90s. Yesterday, 57 people died in my state from Covid. The infection rates are skyrocketing while medical professionals everywhere are begging Americans to take this shit seriously. My wife's a pastor, and on Saturday she's doing her third funeral since October 15. This upcoming one's for a 26yo nurse who'd been in the ICU, on a ventilator for 37 days! Young people ARE dying too. There's no rhyme or reason for why some of these young folks get affected worse than others. I'm an emt-paramedic on furlough because I've got diabetes and and I'm recovering from treatment for malignant melanoma which may have zapped my immune system. A friend of mine from high school died last month from a sudden Covid related blood clot. The day before she died she ran over 20 miles on her lunch break. She was a competitive runner and rock climber who was in the best shape of anyone I ever knew. She was second in her graduating class at MIT, and was a stellar photographer! She was so kind and caring about other people. She was careful about Covid and always wore a mask. Doesn't help much if people around her weren't wearing theirs however. I hope a vaccine comes out soon. I'd like to be able to work again. I don't know why I'm saying all this to the ether. Hadn't heard this band in awhile and wanted to think back to simpler times of dating and partying and running around without worrying so much. The govt back then sure was corrupt, but it was a much simpler corruption. People embezzled millions, not BILLIONS. Who knows, maybe we'll have universal healthcare, and solve the climate crisis by this time next year! Maybe there'll be a cure for cancer developed too. One that doesn't make you wretch you guts out for days on end. Def not the best way to lose weight, but I'll take it. I'I'd take a lot of things over the current situation! Oh well...
@@jonathanbecker8935 what a story Jonathan. I am actually a survivor of Covid 19th. I caught it on the Fourth of July ironically enough, and had a myriad of symptoms but fortunately no respiratory problems whatsoever. I had a high fever like the flu bodyaches and pains and mental confusion loss of sense of smell and of course extreme depression which I am still struggling with along with the odd symptom that everything taste like metal. It is so astounding to me that some people think it’s a hoax, what fools. A quarter million people dead in our country and our president that I hold responsible as if he were a murderer. And unfortunately our citizenry is so stupid as to not listen to doctors and to think wearing masks is an option. I haven’t worked since March as I work and live concerts and it’s like I may not be working again quite some time. The photo is my mother, not me. Anyhow I wish you the best and thanks for sharing your story and I truly hope you get well and we all get through this together.
"...And I can't feel much hope for anything If I won't be there to catch you if you fall..." That line right there sums the whole song up. To love someone that you can't have... Edit: this line has evolved for me. It’s not about someone you can’t have, it’s about someone who won’t accept the love you are willing to give. After a long relationship came apart, this line sums up how I felt when I realized that nothing I did would make any difference...
I feel you on that. My love is one of the best anyone can ever hope for or need, yet seems I couldn't give it away to this one particular person for over a decade despite relentlessly trying, on and off, over and over again. They simply did not want my love, and I thought something was wrong with me all those years, when there absolutely wasn't. They had the problem, and I now know it's because my love was too good for them, and they knew they weren't deserving of it. I took it as rejection at the time, when really it was their own guilt of accepting something they knew they didn't deserve. They never reciprocated it, and never appreciated my awesomeness. What was wrong with me, for allowing and accepting that rejection for so long??? Live and learn, I suppose. So, yeah I know exactly what you mean.
MEMORIES!!! All of the fuckin wonderful memories came rushing back in a major way!! Gott damn I loved the 90’s. What a magical time. I didn’t realize it then but I damn sure realize it now.
I should have and will add that you could still find good music but not in any commercial vien.It is unfair of me to be too general !! All I know is DISCO SUCKS !!!
While being just a bit younger than you (58) I completely understand and agree 100%. Mid 60's to the mid 70's was the best. We were witness to the music "Revolution". And you could FEEL how special a time it was. It was all so fresh and creative and it was available to us at the flip of the switch on our radio's and in great abundance. We didn't have to "Seek" it out. Then came the 80's......oh my. Disco.....ugh and big hair bands. Everything sounded the same. The 90's brought back creativity and it was "Oh SO welcome". While there are always good bands out there, it will never be the same. And we now see the adults who grew up during the 90's saying the same thing. They are now seeing what we saw back in the day as they experienced the unique creative music our generation were privy to and the great appreciation for such. Apologies for the lengthy reply. I have no self edit button :-)
That's because for the most part singers were also songwriters. Now everything is bought and paid for. You don't even have to even sing good anymore. Stupid auto tune *eye rolls*
yeah... i'm actually very curious about today's music scene... i mean, there MUST be exceptional talent out there somewhere today, making stuff comparable to things of the past... right? i don't hear a thing on the radio or mentioned by pop circles that i've liked beyond a, "eh, whatever" party music type regard. the last time i pulled over in my car cuz i heard something that blew me away was Stadium Arcadum songs by Chili Peppers, FOREVER AGO... this is the last thing i really liked.
Vacations are nice - visiting a beautiful place - but I wish we could visit a special time. Songs and the memories they bring back are the closest we have. I can remember this song - my Dad was still alive, and we were still a family.
This song feels like heartache but it's so beautiful at the same time, one of my favorites... "and again we meet in the spaces in between... you always say there's something wrong."
@@ge2623 🤣 The dodos of the world who measure a band’s history and success based on a UA-cam video view count are something special. And it’s usually people who weren’t even alive when the music was originally released who make those comments.
@@daughterofolaf I'm not a moron that equates success with UA-cam anything. I am talking about the hierarchy of bands who are undervalued compared to the pedestrian crap that is highly publicized and admired.
The video is more true today than ever. How many of us look for all of those things now... we are always searching for the next best thing, or quick satisfaction, and we probly have people and things in our lives already that provide us with enough love but we don’t see it or choose to ignore it. I broke up with somebody thinking it was wrong to be with them, and now I feel like it is so wrong and empty to be without them
I'm not sure what's wrong with me, this song keeps running through my head, day after day, probably for about 6 months now, literally 3 or 4 times a day, I start singing it in my head. Like a cigarette craving, when I'm stressed, I start singing it, sometimes accidentally out loud..am I crazy??
It really seems that after about the mid nineties, music quality really trailed off, there is no joy or hope in alot of what passes for " music".These days. Even though the title of this song " something s always wrong" seems to send a sort of negative message, there is still a positive energy from it.great all around sound these guys had,. Rz1053
You want some good 90s music to just chill to? Listen to Toad and Gin Blossom songs. Gin is right there with Toad and good. soft rock 90s melodies. Both bands had great hits during the 90s
I understand to an extent. Class of 02. I didn't get a cell phone until my 20s. There was a time when I'd head out and have nothing in my pockets and it was perfectly fine. Or maybe a disc man. Rosier days.
This song is what open my eyes to Toad the Wet Sprocket. This song came out in a time of my life when I just got through a nasty divorce I gain joint custody of my four-year-old son. Then the company I worked for folded. I now had to find a new job. I landed a new job aproximally 100 miles round trip every day but at least I was working. My commute caring for my young son and trying to relocate closer to work were talking its toll on me. Sitting at a red light in Northern Virginia this song came on the radio. It was depressing but I loved it.
Just FYI for anyone who is curious and had trouble understanding them, these are the background lyrics/chorus that go with each iteration of the primary chorus: "Again we fail to meet and mend The spaces safe between intents We say too much and long been gone, Oh but something's always wrong." "Again we fail to make amends And wend our way between intents And looking back, not moving on Oh but something's always wrong." "Again we fail to meet and mend The spaces safe between intents We say too much, too long been gone Oh but something's always wrong."
TO THINK THAT THE NAME OF THE BAND CAME FROM A MONTY PYTHON SPOOF SEEING THEM LIVE WAS ALWAYS AWESOME. SEEN THEM LIVE AT LEAST 30 TIMES OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS.
You are so lucky! I’ve only seen them in concert three times, but they are amazing live vocally and are great musicians. They are the real deal. No auto tuning. Great to know that they are still great live. I was lucky enough to get to meet them backstage the first time I went, and all of them were just so nice. They took the time to chat with everyone, sign autographs, and take pictures. This song is my favorite one of theirs, and I still love this band today as much as I did way back then. I just don’t attend many concerts anymore, as I am not comfortable in crowded places. Have a great day/night.
I love Toad the Wet Sprocket!!!!! I have been listening to them for at least 25 years now! Still I love them !!! I don't know where my CD collection is!!!!!! I have always been a huge fan!!
You now know why these great songs have millions of views on YT. It’s because the crap that is on the radio today and it is crap, has taken people away from true musicianship and class. Glad this band’s music lives on and we have many more great bands from these earlier days still cranking the music. Thank you to TTWS!
Very true. But there is a lot to be said about social programming. The garbage that hits the airwaves today is there because marketers make sure that every possible avenue is used to enforce the idea that this music is good. And when there isn't anything else beside it, the young buy into it. Instant celebrity.
I heard this song live last year, me and my dad always wanted to see Toad, they never came close enough for us to go see them. He passed in 2018 and this was both of our favorite from Toad they finally came to a smaller venue an hour away and man hearing this live was something else…it made me appreciate the song even more, but I couldn’t fully enjoy it. I kissed my hand and pointed it towards the heavens to dedicate it to him. They were great live, I wish I would’ve been less meloncholy during the show though. Love toad and my dad!
This band is rain and sunshine at the same moment
One of the most underrated bands of all times. This should be a classic tune.
Jennifer Turek have you ever heard The Nightingale Song? It’s one of their best.
Come back down...how that song never really took off is one of the decades great mysteries.
@@jahendrix1543 I saw them in concert at The Music Box in Chicago , quite awhile back and they were awesome. I love Nightingale. I think they still do concerts Take care.
Elaine Cragel It’s awesome song, wish it went on for another minute or two. Anyways have a good day.
WTF? This IS a classic tune.
This song is not just one of Toad's best, it's one of the best songs ever written. Yes, I said that. And I'm an old-school rock/metalhead guy.
Agreed 100%. Absolutely love it.
I agree also! The background vocals are what make it for me.
Great production,as well....this song sounds good on a good stereo system...that was my first impression....how good and clear it was
100% agree. I guarantee that I've listened to this song over a 1000 times so far ..

You're missing and yearning for the youth and life you've lost. Welcome to my world. I want to head back to the mid nineties and stay there.
These dudes are hella underrated...Love that 90's sound..Toad, R.E.M, Gin Blossoms, Sister Hazel, Eagle Eye Cherry, Blues Traveler etc.
I made a streaming channel named "Big Head Toad and the REM Blossoms."
Counting Crows
Tonic, Goo Goo Dolls, Matchbox 20, Third Eye Blind etc etc
Summer of 2022, Toad toured with Gin Blossoms and Barenaked Ladies. Pure heaven in my ears
Don't forget Counting Crows and Mr. Big

[Verse 1]
Another day, I call and never speak
And you would say nothing's changed at all
And I can't feel much hope for anything
If I won't be there to catch you if you fall
Again (We fail)
It seems we meet (To meet and mend)
In the spaces (Spaces safe)
In between (Between intents)
We always say (Say too much)
It won't be long (Long been gone)
Oh, but something's always wrong

Another game of putting things aside
As if we'll come back to them some time
A brace of hopes, a pride of innocents
And you would say something has gone wrong
Again (We fail)
It seems we meet (To make amends)
In the spaces (And wend our way)
In between (Between intent)
We always say (Looking back)
It won't be long (Not moving on)
Oh, but something's always wrong

this music video is essentially a time machine to the 90’s
This band ! Way underrated! Love Glen and his intelligent lyrics. Oh, the nostalgia ❤️
Great chill music, especially in a Virginia Beach bar in the 90s.
I can't believe i totally forgot about this song. This was one of my favorite songs for a season. I had the cassette tape back in 95 or so. Just stumbled upon this song while listening to some other old 90s tunes and the intro gave me nostalgic goosebumps to the bone. Such a beautiful amazing tune.
When I happened to be watching MTV when one of their videos came on I felt lucky to have caught it; a bit of genuine magic in a sea of pop star stuff.
That band and Gin Blossoms brings me the best part of my adolescence!!! I love it!!!!
Goddamn, this song is old enough to drink. It was just yesterday. Excellence is timeless, and so is musical marrow.
The theme song I gave my wife the last year we were together. Always something wrong! I could do nothing right. Man life is to short to be so negative. Music is a light we all need, some more than others. Peace.
Been there 💯.....!!!!!!
So true ♥️
Negative people are the worst. Hmm I hope that wasn’t negative.
@@californiaswater5571 nah, not to much. Much worse things are afoot these days. Nothing like a friggin Pandemic to make a person miss the simplicity of the 90s. Yesterday, 57 people died in my state from Covid. The infection rates are skyrocketing while medical professionals everywhere are begging Americans to take this shit seriously. My wife's a pastor, and on Saturday she's doing her third funeral since October 15. This upcoming one's for a 26yo nurse who'd been in the ICU, on a ventilator for 37 days! Young people ARE dying too. There's no rhyme or reason for why some of these young folks get affected worse than others. I'm an emt-paramedic on furlough because I've got diabetes and and I'm recovering from treatment for malignant melanoma which may have zapped my immune system.
A friend of mine from high school died last month from a sudden Covid related blood clot. The day before she died she ran over 20 miles on her lunch break. She was a competitive runner and rock climber who was in the best shape of anyone I ever knew. She was second in her graduating class at MIT, and was a stellar photographer! She was so kind and caring about other people. She was careful about Covid and always wore a mask. Doesn't help much if people around her weren't wearing theirs however.
I hope a vaccine comes out soon. I'd like to be able to work again.
I don't know why I'm saying all this to the ether. Hadn't heard this band in awhile and wanted to think back to simpler times of dating and partying and running around without worrying so much. The govt back then sure was corrupt, but it was a much simpler corruption. People embezzled millions, not BILLIONS. Who knows, maybe we'll have universal healthcare, and solve the climate crisis by this time next year! Maybe there'll be a cure for cancer developed too. One that doesn't make you wretch you guts out for days on end. Def not the best way to lose weight, but I'll take it. I'I'd take a lot of things over the current situation! Oh well...
@@jonathanbecker8935 what a story Jonathan. I am actually a survivor of Covid 19th. I caught it on the Fourth of July ironically enough, and had a myriad of symptoms but fortunately no respiratory problems whatsoever. I had a high fever like the flu bodyaches and pains and mental confusion loss of sense of smell and of course extreme depression which I am still struggling with along with the odd symptom that everything taste like metal. It is so astounding to me that some people think it’s a hoax, what fools. A quarter million people dead in our country and our president that I hold responsible as if he were a murderer. And unfortunately our citizenry is so stupid as to not listen to doctors and to think wearing masks is an option. I haven’t worked since March as I work and live concerts and it’s like I may not be working again quite some time. The photo is my mother, not me. Anyhow I wish you the best and thanks for sharing your story and I truly hope you get well and we all get through this together.
This is their best song. Not sure why it didn't get more air play. Love the baseline, drums and Guitar. Her voice is perfect too.
Glenn Phillips is not a her..
@@chas.5009 Indeed.
MTV didn’t like the music video for obvious reasons, so this song didn’t gain as much traction
Probably the most original song I've ever heard.
"...And I can't feel much hope for anything
If I won't be there to catch you if you fall..."
That line right there sums the whole song up. To love someone that you can't have...
Edit: this line has evolved for me. It’s not about someone you can’t have, it’s about someone who won’t accept the love you are willing to give. After a long relationship came apart, this line sums up how I felt when I realized that nothing I did would make any difference...
I think your evolved understanding is spot on.
I feel you on that. My love is one of the best anyone can ever hope for or need, yet seems I couldn't give it away to this one particular person for over a decade despite relentlessly trying, on and off, over and over again. They simply did not want my love, and I thought something was wrong with me all those years, when there absolutely wasn't. They had the problem, and I now know it's because my love was too good for them, and they knew they weren't deserving of it. I took it as rejection at the time, when really it was their own guilt of accepting something they knew they didn't deserve. They never reciprocated it, and never appreciated my awesomeness. What was wrong with me, for allowing and accepting that rejection for so long??? Live and learn, I suppose. So, yeah I know exactly what you mean.
MEMORIES!!!
All of the fuckin wonderful memories came rushing back in a major way!!
Gott damn I loved the 90’s.
What a magical time.
I didn’t realize it then but I damn sure realize it now.
I Agree I miss the 90s too☺
Im going to a concert of them tonight. The 90s kid in me is so happy.
Awesome you got this concert in before Corona. Red Rocks will be awfully quiet this Summer.
gilbertobm let me know how it is and what about social distancing?
@@patriciarussell1177 the concert was back in February. Waaay before this whole madness. It was great.
They put on a great show! I was a stagehand in the 90s.
I saw them at House of Blues in Houston back in November ‘17. They sounded just as great as they did in the 90’s.
I am old 66, for me music started in 1964 died in 1975 with the birth of disco and was reborn again by bands like this !!
I should have and will add that you could still find good music but not in any commercial vien.It is unfair of me to be too general !! All I know is DISCO SUCKS !!!
While being just a bit younger than you (58) I completely understand and agree 100%. Mid 60's to the mid 70's was the best. We were witness to the music "Revolution". And you could FEEL how special a time it was. It was all so fresh and creative and it was available to us at the flip of the switch on our radio's and in great abundance. We didn't have to "Seek" it out. Then came the 80's......oh my. Disco.....ugh and big hair bands. Everything sounded the same. The 90's brought back creativity and it was "Oh SO welcome". While there are always good bands out there, it will never be the same. And we now see the adults who grew up during the 90's saying the same thing. They are now seeing what we saw back in the day as they experienced the unique creative music our generation were privy to and the great appreciation for such. Apologies for the lengthy reply. I have no self edit button :-)
That's because for the most part singers were also songwriters. Now everything is bought and paid for. You don't even have to even sing good anymore. Stupid auto tune *eye rolls*
You underappreciated the 80s
You are right John. I still love this song today.
Underated Band
definately
In the 90s there were a 100 bands just like them...
+SmithCommaBenjamin name them
Bad name !!! great singer
@@melisarodriguez6783 there is a story behind that name....
I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW YOU CAN BE THAT TALANTED AND GO UNNOTICED THEY WERE AWESOME.
yeah... i'm actually very curious about today's music scene... i mean, there MUST be exceptional talent out there somewhere today, making stuff comparable to things of the past... right?
i don't hear a thing on the radio or mentioned by pop circles that i've liked beyond a, "eh, whatever" party music type regard. the last time i pulled over in my car cuz i heard something that blew me away was Stadium Arcadum songs by Chili Peppers, FOREVER AGO... this is the last thing i really liked.
Actually they were not unnoticed we noticed and all the people commented here noticed their songs were hits on the radio
This has to be one of my favourites. Such a beautifully haunting melody. Just can't get enough of it . Wonderful.
My favourite song by TWS. Glenn's vocals are no joke & Randy is simply a kickass drummer.
The 80's and 90's. Man,... I miss them so much. Nothing today has much character or originality to it.
Nostalgia, it's a tough pill to swallow.
Vacations are nice - visiting a beautiful place - but I wish we could visit a special time. Songs and the memories they bring back are the closest we have. I can remember this song - my Dad was still alive, and we were still a family.
In the darkness of the nightmare.found comfort in the song
When we lack direction after failed relationships....this music helped
This song feels like heartache but it's so beautiful at the same time, one of my favorites... "and again we meet in the spaces in between... you always say there's something wrong."
Just heard this song for the first time in about twenty years! Brought a huge smile and some tears. I had forgotten how much I love the drums!
Are you MY Tommy Toes?
I’m sorry I am not your Tommy Toes, Bonnie:(
Love the chord progression. Definitely highlights the beauty of 90s acoustic guitar-heavy era.
Totally awesome song
A totally awesome song a year later!
I Agree☺☺
*toadally🐸
*insert drum roll*
Yes, yes it is.
I was 18 back then Class of 1994!! I miss seeing this on MTV and VH1 when they still played music videos sometimes!!
One of my all time favs. If only we knew the 90s would be the last best decade 😢 #takemeback
Heard this as teen when nothing was wrong. Can relate to it everyday now as a( so called) adult.
Heard this in Walgreens. . Takes me back and makes me cry
It's always at a CVS or Walgreens you're reminded of these gems :)
Apparently I need to spend more time at Walgreens
A little hard to explain crying in public f*** em and feed em fish heads
@@Laststepp If your lucky someday that's where you'll spend A LOT of time.
Whoa! This group is freaking great! Always so good. Yet they didn’t get near the credit they so richly deserved.
I could listen to this non-stop! Wait, I have been, since the 90’s 😎. I just love that 🥁
How can a band this good be so overlooked?
They did hit #1, had multiple successful albums, and to this day remain professional musicians. Not so terribly overlooked.
@@erad67 Didn't you know 3.8 million views is underrated?
@@ge2623 🤣 The dodos of the world who measure a band’s history and success based on a UA-cam video view count are something special. And it’s usually people who weren’t even alive when the music was originally released who make those comments.
Money.
@@daughterofolaf I'm not a moron that equates success with UA-cam anything. I am talking about the hierarchy of bands who are undervalued compared to the pedestrian crap that is highly publicized and admired.
The video is more true today than ever. How many of us look for all of those things now... we are always searching for the next best thing, or quick satisfaction, and we probly have people and things in our lives already that provide us with enough love but we don’t see it or choose to ignore it. I broke up with somebody thinking it was wrong to be with them, and now I feel like it is so wrong and empty to be without them
I never thought Bizarro Quinn would get so deep...
I'm not sure what's wrong with me, this song keeps running through my head, day after day, probably for about 6 months now, literally 3 or 4 times a day, I start singing it in my head. Like a cigarette craving, when I'm stressed, I start singing it, sometimes accidentally out loud..am I crazy??
It really seems that after about the mid nineties, music quality really trailed off, there is no joy or hope in alot of what passes for " music".These days. Even though the title of this song " something s always wrong" seems to send a sort of negative message, there is still a positive energy from it.great all around sound these guys had,. Rz1053
Go check yourself dude
1 or 2 times a day is fine, but 3-4 is just pure insanity
you are certifiably crazy....but do not blame it on this song
Its a FABULOUS song... nothing wrong with that💕💕
This video was ahead of its time. Makes me think of today's Parasocial relationships on social media.
You want some good 90s music to just chill to? Listen to Toad and Gin Blossom songs. Gin is right there with Toad and good. soft rock 90s melodies. Both bands had great hits during the 90s
one of the coolest songs ever
yup
T.A. Rugg Fygx
Yes it is
are you in my phone too
are you in my phone tooz
As a gen x representative when only Zach morris had a cell I'd like to say long live the 90's
Johnny Carreira that comment is hilarious! Millennials will not even understand what you mean 😂😂 #classof98
I understand to an extent. Class of 02. I didn't get a cell phone until my 20s. There was a time when I'd head out and have nothing in my pockets and it was perfectly fine. Or maybe a disc man. Rosier days.
Zach Morris is trash.
Literally LMAO! Great remark! 😁
Such a romantic and melancholy sound to this song. I've loved it since its release.
I'm almost 60, and I love 90's music like these guys.
one of the best bands of the 90s for sure
Still one of the best sounding bands ever. Damn the 90's were cool
Toad, 1992, Blue Note, Columbia, Missouri. Top 10 night of my life. I'll always remember.
Still rocking this in 2021!!! Damn I wish I could go back to the 90s!!!
This song is what open my eyes to Toad the Wet Sprocket. This song came out in a time of my life when I just got through a nasty divorce I gain joint custody of my four-year-old son. Then the company I worked for folded. I now had to find a new job. I landed a new job aproximally 100 miles round trip every day but at least I was working. My commute caring for my young son and trying to relocate closer to work were talking its toll on me. Sitting at a red light in Northern Virginia this song came on the radio. It was depressing but I loved it.
Such a great song. My favorite by Toad. Such an underrated band and song. One of my all time favorites.
It always drove me crazy how under-played this song was on the radio.
Loved this song since '94. Whenever I get the Big Sad I put this on and I don't feel so alone. Thanks guys.
Melancholy pop but weirdly uplifting too, like cathartic even. My favorite track of theirs and they have numerous classics.
No matter what happens in my life, this song is always there. :)
Just FYI for anyone who is curious and had trouble understanding them, these are the background lyrics/chorus that go with each iteration of the primary chorus:
"Again we fail to meet and mend
The spaces safe between intents
We say too much and long been gone,
Oh but something's always wrong."
"Again we fail to make amends
And wend our way between intents
And looking back, not moving on
Oh but something's always wrong."
"Again we fail to meet and mend
The spaces safe between intents
We say too much, too long been gone
Oh but something's always wrong."
Es mi rola favorita de Toad the Wet Sprocket. Es increible que ya tiene 30 años y es atemporal. Buenos recuerdos
so pretty, nostalgic, being a teenager in the 90s ... :_/
My favorite Toad song love the harmony and acoustic sound. Rock On!
TO THINK THAT THE NAME OF THE BAND CAME FROM A MONTY PYTHON SPOOF SEEING THEM LIVE WAS ALWAYS AWESOME. SEEN THEM LIVE AT LEAST 30 TIMES OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS.
You are so lucky! I’ve only seen them in concert three times, but they are amazing live vocally and are great musicians. They are the real deal. No auto tuning. Great to know that they are still great live. I was lucky enough to get to meet them backstage the first time I went, and all of them were just so nice. They took the time to chat with everyone, sign autographs, and take pictures. This song is my favorite one of theirs, and I still love this band today as much as I did way back then. I just don’t attend many concerts anymore, as I am not comfortable in crowded places. Have a great day/night.
I love the video!!!!!!! And the band. And ALL their songs
I love Toad the Wet Sprocket!!!!! I have been listening to them for at least 25 years now! Still I love them !!! I don't know where my CD collection is!!!!!! I have always been a huge fan!!
What an amazing composition ... Every note, every instrument
You now know why these great songs have millions of views on YT. It’s because the crap that is on the radio today and it is crap, has taken people away from true musicianship and class. Glad this band’s music lives on and we have many more great bands from these earlier days still cranking the music. Thank you to TTWS!
Very true. But there is a lot to be said about social programming. The garbage that hits the airwaves today is there because marketers make sure that every possible avenue is used to enforce the idea that this music is good. And when there isn't anything else beside it, the young buy into it. Instant celebrity.
I heard this song live last year, me and my dad always wanted to see Toad, they never came close enough for us to go see them. He passed in 2018 and this was both of our favorite from Toad they finally came to a smaller venue an hour away and man hearing this live was something else…it made me appreciate the song even more, but I couldn’t fully enjoy it. I kissed my hand and pointed it towards the heavens to dedicate it to him. They were great live, I wish I would’ve been less meloncholy during the show though. Love toad and my dad!
Thanks for sharing this memory. Glad you got to have that experience, however bittersweet.☝️
A brace of hope, a pride of innocence.
Always loved this song.
One of
The greatest songs of the 90’s
At 42 years old, it wasn't until a few years ago when I could empathize with the songs meaning and now every time I hear it it breaks my heart.
one of my top favourite songs ever...
If none of their other songs strike you, this one should. This is a personal favorite of mine.
seems like all their songs strike me, just beautiful music and great voice
Great songs will live forever...
One of my all time favorite songs. Never get tired of listening to the harmonization in this classic tune...
I still remember falling in love with this song when it was played on the movie Fear with Mark Wahlberg and Reese Witherspoon...... 90's nostalgia
Same 💯
