"Broadway" Lyrics:
Broadway's dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway's dark tonight
See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
Waitin' for his turn to die
The cowboy kills the rock star
And Friday night's gone too far
The dim light hides the years
On all the faded girls
Forgotten but not gone
You drink it off your mind
You talk about the world like it's someplace that you've been
You see, you'd love to run home, but you know you ain't got one
Cuz you're livin' in a world that you're best forgotten, around here
Broadway's dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway's dark tonight
See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
Waitin' for his turn to die
You choke down all your anger
Forget your only son
You pray to statues when you sober up for fun
Your anger don't impress me
The world slapped in your face
It always rains like hell on the loser's day parade
You see, you'd love to run home, but you know you ain't got one
Cuz you're livin' in a world that you're best forgotten
When you're thinkin' you're a joke and nobody's gonna listen
To the one small point I know they've been missing around here
Broadway's dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway's dark tonight
See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
Waitin' for his turn to die
You see, you'd love to run home, but you know you ain't got one
Cuz you're livin' in a world that you're best forgotten
When you're thinkin' you're a joke and nobody's gonna listen
To the one small point I know they've been missing around here
Round here, yeah
Broadway's dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway's dark tonight
See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
Waitin' for his turn to die
It's amazing how songs you liked at 15 mean so much more at 35
That is the truth!
wait until you are in your 50s
reminiscing
indulge in enjoyable recollection of past events. aka happy feeling. its human nature, enjoy the feeling 100%
I got 10 more years for that, but I get what you mean.
I was 15 when this was “new!”
Why in the hell this band is so overlooked is beyond me. This dude is a lyrical genius and the music is freakin killer. They definitely don't get the respect they deserve...
Exactly them and Rob Thomas or Rob's band Matchbox 20... all super under recognized
Amen to that! They deserve so much more credit than they get. John is truly a lyrical genius, and his voice is so amazing
Because he's for Buffalo New York that's why he's overlooked
Just like another Buffalo singer like RickJames he only got his credit thanks to Dave Chappelle and Charlie Murphy
@@jerryjanik480 are you from Buffalo? I am, and I don't believe that's a valid reason
I ABSOLUTELY AGREE! JOHNNY REZNIK & ROB THOMAS are GENUINELY AMAZING ARTISTS. It seems like this world doesn't know AWESOME ROCK when see it...
AND BOTH of them are STILL GORGEOUS!
Listening to music from the 90's always feels like a conversation with a close friend. you just don't get that from signed artists any more.
❤❤
So true
Love this band ,,,helped me through my family passing ...and alcohol addiction...and still helps
Me too! I used to sit in a bar day after day and saw the same ol skeletons. I went a year and a half without drinking and picked it back up. Just met the ❤ of my life and told her today Im going into recovery and I know she will wait for me ❤ I wish the world could heed this timeless message and it will one day ❤
nothing beats some classic goo goo dolls
+Jacob Santos Nor, can no other can!
Jacob Santos you do realize that the only reason they come back to Buffalo is for sad song inspiration...right?
Jacob Santos matchbox 20s rt there with em
Matt Lindell Not really true. If you read any interview between John or Rob, they both don't like how fake as fuck people are in LA
THE GOO GOO DOLLS AREN'T CLASSIC YET SHUT UP I'M NOT OLD YET
Amazing, i cant believe how much their lyrics actually mean, they're not just random words shoved together and sang, its real word with real meanings that relate to real issues and real people!!!
john is in the rock and roll hall of fame for song writing. every song has a line that slaps. forgotten but not gone, scars are souveniers you never lose, i kill myself from the inside out
@@carsonhoberty9683 cdd%%$$"
they are touring my friend
Exactly what music was intended to be. Beautiful record.
very true
Even after decades; it is still sounds current and evergreen. I miss the 90's. Most tune on radio nowadays are just plain silly
oy vey this is antisemitic, why do you hate black people and jews?
Nah! Current music is trash. This music is classic and sounds just like the 90s.
the vibe of goo goo dolls is badass. I don't know why but I feel like I'm connected to this band. they talk about society, human problems. lost and suicidal I dont know how to explain.. but this band speak deeper part of myself.
I hope you are still with us.
"The dim light hides the lines on all the faded girls." That is very good.
I hope you’re doing better now!
I didn’t realize how many great songs goo goo dolls have!!
Specially from this album alone
hello there
This could be the quarantine talking. And possibly a few vodka tonics. But I'm semi-certain the goo goo dolls are the greatest songwriters in the history of songwriting.
You aren’t far off. John has some fantastic writes- beautiful way of telling stories-
I agree 💯
John promised himself if he didn't have a hit song by the time he was 30, he would quit music. 'name' hit the charts when he was 29, and now he is in the rock and roll hall of Fame for song writing.
One of the few songs that makes me happy & sad all at once, what a band!
this band is a freakin legand! Long live Johnny Rzeznik!!!!!!!!!!!!
SmellamyBlake you know their is other members in the band also right?
Thanks. I used to hang out with Johnny before he was famous.
Can't spell legend. Gets Rzeznik right.
Fookin legend
I was like 13 when I wrote this lol
I remember being 23 and hearing this song in a hole in the wall bar surrounded by people 20 to 40 years older than me and that line about the young man sitting in the old man's bar waiting for his time to die really resonated with me.
I had a double resonation with it. When I was a young child, the line "You talk about the world like it's some place that you've been" was something I frequently thought about the authority figures in my life. The people who proclaimed to know things that they knew nothing about.
Then, when I became an adult and put away my childishness, the second resonation came when I realized that "We're all just children forever, talking about the world like it's someplace that we've been."
I suppose that's the magic of the Goo Goo Dolls songs. They mean something different at 16 than they do at 24. They mean something different at 18 than they do at 30.
You talk about the world like it's someplace that you've been.
Damn if I don’t feel like that anyway. I’m turning 33 next month and I’m already a widower and I just experienced my 2nd breakup since her death this very evening.
@XxTaiMTxX once upon a time we were the young man sitting in the old mans bar, now we're all a little bit weaker than we used to be
So my two year old nephew was crying, screaming. He was running around the house and I happened to be watching Rock Block and this song came on, he immediately quit crying. Walked to the tv. And watched the whole video. He went to sleep right after. Goo Goo Dolls work wonders
I remember having the radio on building legos to the Goo Goo Dolls
"See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar Waitin' for his turn to die" absolute genius
Forgotten but not gone
You drink it off your mind
You talk about the world like it's someplace that you've been
You choke down all your anger
Forget your only son
You pray to statues when you sober-up for fun
Your anger don't impress me
The world slapped in your face
It always rains like hell on the Losers Day parade
Truly an Underrated song!! But not an Underrated Band!
“...it always rains like hell on the Losers Day Parade.” Always loved that lyric.
I always thought he said "losers day in the rain"
@@amandylyn3881 boom
At 34 yeara old this song will always be a damn good song and so meaningful
Love it because it refers to downtown Buffalo, and just like Johnny that's my home town!
Yep! The old tavern on the corner stuck in the 60s huh
My hometown too!!!!
Same
Same here,but I'm younger probably,32 in April.I've heard the stories of old Buffalo,family owned a diner for a while in the city.
when
when did i ask
God, his voice is so amazing. What a very very underrated band. They are fooking fantastic.
I loved this song back then, and also love it now! Johnny 's vocals never get old.
These people were huge rockstars when I was growing up. It's weird how some bands seem to be forgotten by time.
Not forgotten, just came here to enjoy the songs after seeing them in concert.
90's.. les meilleures . ✌️🎸😎🇺🇸
Watching this video gets me all nostalgic; the 90's were definitely the best.
Since then, good mainstream music has been dying a very slow and gruesome death.
Yeah, and this video satirizes the kind of acts that hastened its death. But, keep romanticizing the 1990s as if that wasn't the beginning of the end.
Honestly a great band a lot better than what’s popular today it’s like soothing and venting at the same time, true art, beautiful relatable expression. I hope I can learn all I can from them, be inspired and take what they’ve taught and spin it in a similar direction but one that perfectly expresses me in my own art. Some of the best things in life aren’t always the most popular including this band, but I’m really a big fan. They’re still pretty popular compared to many others, I just don’t understand why they’re not even more popular. I’d rather listen to this than 90% of the stuff on the radio.
this song is a masterpiece
彼らのライブでは定番の爽快なロックンロール。PVはなんともユニークで微笑ましい。グー・グー・ドールズ最高です。
I remember going to the MUSIC STORE in the MALL in my hometown the summer before my sophomore year in high school to buy this CD. 1998. So am I still the young man or the old man in this song? LOL.
I was 18 in '98. My brother was 23 and we went together to a nearby store to pick it up. The whole family was into Goo Goo Dolls back then. My parents got too old but my brother and I still jam to it when we get the chance. Those were the good old days, weren't they?
The old man defines the world, the young man defines the person in question
Mike105 I am 27 and fill like the old man bro
You're both. So am I.
Dude, this still "new music: to me .. All about perspective :) @@deusexaethera
The only concert I was ever had that everybody sang every song they had amazing
man...back in the 90s living outside of Buffalo....these guys were THE shit....what an awesome feeling everytime you heard them on the radio...and still to this day
Goo Goo Dolls was my first concert in my entire life. My mother and sister brought me to it when I was 10. I didn't know how awesome what I was seeing was. What I wouldn't give to go back to that concert and rock the fuck out!!!
Something about their songs always sounds sincere
Would love to see them in concert
Tickets are on sale sister. Buy one and go! Rock on!
@@moeshiner156 thanks didnt know... to bad nobody I know wants to
My amazing wife introduced me to this song! She knew that this 74 year old soul would love it! She has extraordinary taste in music and movies! That’s what keeps us going strong! We share a passion for both! As she often tells me that “age is just a number on a page”! Pick one and read that chapter!
im 32 years old now and i remember being a kid in the 90s and listening to this on the radio
The Goo Goo Dolls are one of the best bands EVER!!! The lead singer is gorgious too hehe!
Hello, how are you doing? It’s nice meeting you here. Thanks for your love and support❤🤘🏻You have yourself a wonderful day ahead 🌺🌺❤️🤘🏻
This is clearly about his Dad. He was a big drinker and a Catholic who he never get on with - 'You forget your only son. Then pray to statues when you sober up for fun'. Great songwriter John Rzeznik.
Broadway is a street in Buffalo where John grew up
@@johncohle8331 Broadway is more than a street..it's a neighborhood...the neighborhood I grew up in...
@@bassmandozer9919 I know that. Ive had pierogies and golumpkis at the market.
I literally cry everytime I hear that part. My dad is a special POS, and I lose it about "forget your only son". Wanna hear the funny continuance? My son is my best friend, and his mother does everything possible to block me from seeing him. I've been taken to court for giving a haircut, or trying to gift him a bicycle . It's a perfect circle of male trauma.
Your anger don't impress me, the world slapped in your face.
Listening to this in 2022 and the lyrics and sound are still 🔥
Hello, how are you doing? It’s nice meeting you here. Thanks for your love and support.🤟🏻❤️ you have a wonderful day ahead 🤟🏻🤟🏻🎸🌺
Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
Waitin' for his turn to die
The cowboy kills the rock star
And Friday night's gone too far
The dim light hides the years on all the faded girls
Forgotten but not gone
You drink it off your mind
You talk about the world
Like it's someplace that you've been
You see you'd love to run home
But you know you ain't got one
'Cause you're livin' in a world
That you're best forgotten around here
Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be

See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
Waitin' for his turn to die
You choke down all your anger
Forget your only son

It always rains like hell on the losers day parade
You see you'd love to run home
But you know you ain't got one
'Cause you're livin' in a world

When you're thinkin' of a joke
And nobody's gonna listen
To the one small point
I know they been missin' round here
Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
Waitin' for his turn to die
You see you'd love to run home
But you know you ain't got one
'Cause you're livin' in a world
That you're best forgotten
When you're thinkin' of a joke
And nobody's gonna listen
To the one small point
I know they been missin' round here, round here
Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
Waitin' for his turn to die
Very thought-provoking and relevant lyrics as you grow up and get older
god i wish we were still in the 90's!!!
Hello, how are you doing? It’s nice meeting you here. Thanks for your love and support❤🤘🏻You have yourself a wonderful day ahead 🌺🌺❤️🤘🏻
Broadway never gets old, right up there with Naked and Name. Put this one on repeat!!!!!
I'm 54 yrs old and still love the GGD's. Name and Black Baloon are my two faves, but love all of their songs.
Just saw these guys in concert last nite! They ROCKED!
Such a cutie!!!!!¡ Love the band too
Hello, how are you doing? It’s nice meeting you here. Thanks for your love and support.🤟🏻❤️ you have a wonderful day ahead 🤟🏻🤟🏻🎸🌺
used to listen to the goo goo dolls all the time. was watching charmed on netflix and they were playing live in their club and this song brought back such great feelings.

I love this song, I grew up listening to this song!❤❤❤
I love 90s music in general. It reminds me of the days when I was kid :)
Goo Goo Dolls music brings back the best memories. Their music is still relevant today
Still one of my favorite albums of all time. Love them!
My favorite band since I was a teenager. I remember seeing them in concert (Louisville Palace Theatre, May 2002) and just being amazed by their music.
This is my favorite song from the Goo Goo Dolls also like Iris and name
Slide as well
@@ralphvelez8984 Black Balloon is my favorite of all of them, but I love all of their songs.
When they closed Broadway for COVID-19 I shed some tears and thought of this song
Hannah Poland same here. Broadway IS dark tonight.
Yes he has the most Epic and best haircut and color. Coming from hairdresser myself.
Someone should really do a vid.
The song is not about Broadway NYC but the Rust Belt cities specifically Buffalo NY
Johnny and the band stuck with it and did a lot of great work, they should be very proud of what they created.
Seeing this performed live at Brixton tonight was so frickin' immense. It Brought the house down and rightfully so!
I just noticed they have like 12 hit singles and I forgot how low key awesome they all are.
this has and will continue to be my favorite artist/band of all time.....GGD's are the shizzz!!!!!!
i totally agree Cassie. They were the sound track to my high school days in a small town in Canada.
i just seen the Goo Goo Dolls in London,Ontario,Canada last week,my first time seeing them live finally after 20 years of listening to them.Great band live,everything i thought they would be & more.
ok
Sudsy Sutherland
congrats n_n I would love to see them and other bands too live.
Cro Bat:You'll laugh at this but i'm a huge fan of Type O Negative,Megadeth,Slayer as well. I'm a big fan of all styles of music except for country & dance music.
heard the song for the first time at the end of the tv show Charmed...googled it, youtubed it - it was the band playing on the show (cool)...so I now have another Goo Goo Dolls tune in my iTunes!!
You talk about the world like it's some place that you've been! LOVE THE GOO GOO DOLLS! Most Excellent! Favorite song though is Iris even though I could listen to all of their songs over and over.
Great song by the best group in music today. Love these guys. Lucky enough to see them live just outsided of Sacramento. "Broadway" is a Fantastic sound of the 90's that could have been written in the 60's or 70's about a returning Viet Nam Veteran. Think about River Phoenix's character in the movie "Dog Fight". That's the film and the time period I think about when I hear "Broadway".
Common person, "Hey, what kind of music do you listen to?"
Me, "Keep of Kalessin, Cradle of Fitlh, Behemoth, Goo Goo Dolls"
Common person, "Wai- What?"
Me, "Goo Goo Dolls, who can resist?"
First song my son heard on the day he was born. Had to start him off right 🙌❤❤❤❤
First time I heard of them and this song was around the ending of S2 of Charmed as a 90's kid.
It's good to see another Buffaloanian comment on this video! I grew up in Buffalo around Bailey and moved away years ago, but this song always reminds me of home, even though it's pretty sad.
Why is this band so underrated?
john is in the rock and roll hall of fame for song writing. his peers shoe respect. its just the general public that doesnt get the goo goo dolls.
Yaa they are underrated inmy opinion
this song is a masterpice
Thanks for the memories🎉🎉🎉
Nostalgic magic
Epic song! Heard it on the radio after much time passed by since I last heard it and immediately brought back memories. Turn up the volume!
Know what would be really fun? A Vh1 pop-up video on this song.
I miss that.
This song's been stuck in my head for years
Always felt like this song should've been a bigger hit. "Broadway is dark tonight." Just such dark tragic lyrics
Love me some Goo Goo Dolls
Hello, how are you doing? It’s nice meeting you here. Thanks for your love and support ❤🤟🏻 you have a wonderful day ahead 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🌺
Can return to this one anytime cuz GGD so know how to rock it!
Just saw them in concert this weekend 4th row. one word: AMAZING
Hello, how are you doing? It’s nice meeting you here. Thanks for your love and support ❤🤟🏻 you have a wonderful day ahead 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🌺
On heavy radio airplay in around January of 2000. Remember that year well. If I had only known back then how crappy America would end up being 15 years later, Id have wanted to die young then. Love this era. No good music left with real human emotions
Who would of knew how true this song would become nearly 20 years later we are living in a world that would be best forgotten and we all are just waiting our time

@@Richierich1285 Every time I listen to these guys, it makes me believe those times will be coming back again soon. We just gotta make it happen together!
Omg saw this band last night sooo amazing in person worth every penny love it
Laughter is sometimes all I have
‘It always rains like Hell on the Losers Day Parade.’ Who, but John R, could come up with that?! Man, that man can write!
And word to TGGD PR folks: put images of the band on merch. It will sell 10-fold guaranteed!
Underrated masterpiece 💛
Cones on the lower Sirius XM channels every once in a while, have to listen to it every time it does.
One of my favorite G.G. Dolls tunes!
Their best album 😍😍
I remember when this song came out it was mine and my friend Kelly's song. It was the song me and her used to sing everyday. It would come on MTV every morning before we went to school. I love this song. This song is one of the reasons I will ALWAYS be a Goo Goo Dolls fan. It has a special memory for me because of my friend Kelly.
Hello, how are you doing? It’s nice meeting you here. Thanks for your love and support❤🤘🏻You have yourself a wonderful day ahead 🌺🌺❤️🤘🏻
we are going RED ROCKS july 27 baby gonna be a great show always fun with the boys called GOO from1990 to 2022 not bad always a fan of GOO GOO DOLLS
Heybo. Keep on rockin'
How the hell does Justin Bieber get millions of views and this doesn't even have 1 million? This is quality music and one of the Goo's best.
Johnny Rzeznik is the sexiest thing to walk this earth

They had so many hits
My favorite song by the goo goo dolls...still my favorite band from my childhood❤️❤️❤️...ooo and don't forget how hawt Johnny is in this video!!!! AHHH!!!
There are a group of people hating on Goo Goo Dolls because they became sellouts in 1990s, but I think that it's just a matter about what you like and what you don't. They need to understand that people change.
Shit I loved this song when I was 9 and now I’m turning 33 and still love this song. Although both times I identified with the old man and yet I’m still waiting for my turn
You’d love to run home but you know you ain’t got one cause you live in a world where you’re best forgotten
Hello, how are you doing? It’s nice meeting you here. Thanks for your love and support ❤🤟🏻 you have a wonderful day ahead 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🌺
This was the gem track from Dizzy Up the Girl, well in my opinion anyway. There's so much being said in this song, and the video itself is filled with substance and prolific meaning. Goo Goo Dolls are true artists, 'Name' was proof of that, although 'Iris' and 'Slide' gave 'em a huge break and the recognition they truly deserved. They're simply classic, and quite underrated despite their considerate success. Goo's have always been true to their music, that's what I love most about them.
Nope. Broadway was from the Superstar Carwash album.
i don't know if anyone else pays attention to this line: 'it always rains like hell on the loosers day parade' that's my favorite line.
forgotten but not gone
@@carsonhoberty9683 I like 'Your anger don't impress me'.
It's actually loosers day 2 race but whatever
It's actually losers day to race but whatever
It's actually losers day to race but whatever works for you.
Damn, this song still hits the feels after all this time
It's still hard to believe my brother know them, before I was born my mom lived in Buffalo and one of the members lived a couple houses down where they use to play in their garage, my brother use to hang out with them.
love this song and album so much!
Johnny is an Adonis! The most beautiful man... in my humble opinion. His hair is beyond perfect!!!
Goo Goo Dolls you were fantastic last night.Davenport Iowa 💖
Hello, how are you doing? It’s nice meeting you here. Thanks for your love and support ❤🤟🏻 you have a wonderful day ahead 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🌺
only band i can listen to all day!!! have the biggest crush on john
You ain't the only one, I would say I have the hugest crush on Johnny, I have about 300 pictures of him in my phone, he is on my profile picture, know mostly alot about him so yea but I don't blame you
I remember seeing this on VH1 top 10 videos on early 2000's and then saw them on Charmed
Gosh hard to believe that it was almost 20 years ago!!!
