Imagine an alternate universe where Days of the New released one genre defining album after another over and over again. Going over all colors of the rainbow and exposing the acoustic to every genre of music. Travis does special shows with an orchestra now and then, Nicole is the guest female singer on every album, he's patched things up with Todd Jesse and Matt, and they even record a "roots" album once in awhile... Fuck man. I'm grateful for those first three albums but this guy had so much more to give.
Travis was a gorgeous, gorgeous man. I saw him in pennsylvania in March..... a walking "don't do drugs" commerical right there. I still have hope he will recover and keep making music for his fans.
You have hope that he'll recover and move on but your petty enough to bring up how he looked at 17 versus 40ish. Reassess the way you treat people. How pretty they are for your eyes doesnt equal their worth.
Travis Meeks was and hopefully will be again some day, a musical Genius. Fantastic vocals and the style with mostly acoustic guitar.. is awesome in most of the Days of the New songs.
Sorry YOU ARE WRONG not just the song.. .. one of the most UNDERRATED BANDS EVER !! I saw them back in 97 in a Very small venue.. . They were AMAZING. Travis is a Voice GOD!! ..
@@coolmoon4382 I saw them in 99 at ozzfest and they were so fucking good. One of the heaviest acoustic sets I’ve ever seen. They blew my mind. And I saw them again a few years later and they kicked ass again. Is he clean now??
love how he looks in that shirt and this song rocks!!!! Travis is a genius and has overcome so much....asperger's syndrome and meth addiction....he is doing well these days and still writing. I wish hims the very best.
Know what I miss almost as much as the music from the 90s? The way guys looked. You don't see this "rocker" look much anymore. Long hair, shredded jeans and a band tshirt. Fucking sexy. Bring that back, the music will follow.
My son and daughter are hooked on these guys and they are 21 yrs old. Honestly, nothing could have made me happier because Days of the New is my favorite band
I've always loved this song and this album. This band went into a brave direction with this one with a "world music" sound that is thoughtful and a bit trippy. This is by far their most radio friendly song on the whole album.
So listen down you little man I'm not the one who is trying to change you...yeah. And if you come to understand, it will be okay yeah You need to change it now! I'm not the one who's tryin' to be I'm not the one who's tryin' to be your enemy! That's somethin' you need to change. I'm not the one who's tryin' to be your enemy! That's somethin' you need to change. So listen down you little man I'm not the one who is trying to change you, yeah. And if you come to understand, it will be okay yeah You need to change it! So listen down you little man I'm not the one who is trying to change you...yeah. And if you listen very hard, it will be okay yeah You need to change it now!

I went in killing the sun I once won, I once won I went in killing the sun I once won, I once won I went in killing the sun I once won, I once won I went in killing the sun I once won, I once won You need to change it You need to change it You need to change it You need to change it I'm not the one who's tryin' to be your enemy! I'm not the one who's tryin' to be your enemy! I'm not the one who's tryin' to be your enemy! Your enemy, your enemy
its crazy how different this mix is than the album, its like depeche mode and alice in chains had a child, which is inspirational to me right now because i love elctronic music and the acoustic guitar, but i still love the style of the green album! female backing vocals and beautiful guitar songs by the one and only travis meeks this music video is just a little weird but thats fine lol
I’ve actually heard him say in an interview that this version of the song is the one that was meant to be on the album but there was some sort of miscommunication
The yarl becomes inconsequential behind melodies like those. Brilliant songwriter, incredible arranger. I'm a sonic nerd, and he knows how to mix a damn album.
Nice insight, this was actually vwritten by the band for Travis Meeks who was out of his right mind on heroin and other drugs and was super paranoid and killing himself
Love those 3 records, they are timeless. Saw Days of the New at House of Blues in Chicago twice- Dec '99 and Dec '00. Great shows- Travis was on top of his game
@@jimbojones8208 yellow is good too, but in terms of experimentation, it goes to green for me. Took me awhile to get into it, but it's my favorite of his work, and all the hidden albums on youtube too.
I haven't heard this song in about 9 years. I used to have two of their albums but my ex stole them. Recently, I had this song in my head and had to look it up :) Still love this song.
Travis was one of those artists that teetered on the tight rope of being a genius and insane. This is genius....sad he threw a lot of himself away. Great talent, bad choices.....
Loved this song back in the day. I think a friend from Indiana told me about DOTN and Tantric, behing in Scotland I'd never heard of them without the interwebs.
Good Band & Lyrics! God's Will All our Souls Forgiven to Heaven in our Loving Lord Jesus Christ Thanks.Amen. God is All Love.Peace & Light to us All.Amen
This song is about himself. Looking in the mirror. A brilliant guy. Sometimes being brilliant doesn't erase your demons. Yo Travis, there are lots of us out here who can lend you a hand. I know the hardest fucking thing to do is to ask. We are out here for you, bro.
@@steviewander2693 He was on intervention. it's on youtube if you search intervention travis meth. he is badly hooked on meth. Nice dude.... just fell hard. My band opened for them a couple times back after this album released. he was only like 17 or 18 if I remember correctly.
That's Nicole from the Pussycat Dolls >^..^< Love Days Of The New and what a f***ing surprise when they opened for either Godsmack or Creed at Jones Beach 🍻❤
Yo recuerdo esta gran canción en el año 1999, y la verdad buscando en las listas de todos los rankings que hacen del "Ranking Anual de Radio 99", y la verdad no se como hayan excluido a Days of the New, por que ella ocupo el puesto 20 empatado con Bush y su tema The chemical Betwhen Us
Ive seen over 2000 concerts and all artist fight demons. Regaurdless Meeks is one of a kind and will always be a life changing lerisist in my eyes. TM fan for life.
I just started getting into DOTN. Travis Meeksi s a genius, but I could've gone the rest of my life not hearing or seeing this. Dear Lord.. make it go away.
The album version is much, much better. It's definitely not the same as the full band DOTN stuff, but I liked that Meeks tried to experiment. This version though, is over-produced garbage.
Still better than coldplay and their 3 albums were great, I was listening a song from the supposedly fourth album and it sucks, it lacks the darkness of the previous albums especially from the first 2 ones.
Wish Travis could make a come back. I seen him in Pensacola with Godsmack and they played after Godsmack. They were booed off stage. Anyone following GS is destined to go down. I love DOTN. Travis....where are you?
As of May 2020, he was arrested again in Maricopa county Arizona in late April 2020 (a day before his birthday). His mug shot is online and accessible with a quick Google search. Based on his appearance in that mugshot, he is definitely still struggling with his addiction and sadly he looks closest to death as I've ever seen him look.

Grateful myself, Days the New filled a void in my life when most needed.
I bought those 3 CDs as soon as they were released. So damn good.
Check out the Maestro Music channel and you may find that in Travis' album Tree Colors.
The album version had a guitar solo at the end that was the best acoustic guitar solo I've ever heard.
Yeah boi
@@johnkenny7210 No shit, why in the world would you take that part out, it's the best part.
I use to have that album and would listen to this song on repeat just because of that guitar solo.
I agree
You should have been there live,,,, it was awesome
"Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah."
-lyrical genius travis meeks
I just discovered this song last week and can't stop playing it. Pure banger
I know i just found it about 3 months ago
this whole album it was on went under the radar , lots of great songs from it
Really? Yeas banger.
Loved this band.
Love You Travis .....❤❤
Travis was a gorgeous, gorgeous man.
I saw him in pennsylvania in March..... a walking "don't do drugs" commerical right there.
I still have hope he will recover and keep making music for his fans.
Hope you see this comment mascara, but he's in recovery and i believe successfully.
You have hope that he'll recover and move on but your petty enough to bring up how he looked at 17 versus 40ish. Reassess the way you treat people. How pretty they are for your eyes doesnt equal their worth.
Travis Meeks was and hopefully will be again some day, a musical Genius. Fantastic vocals and the style with mostly acoustic guitar.. is awesome in most of the Days of the New songs.
This album is so underrated. It's one of my favorites.
That's because Travis got rid of Jesse Vest
One of the most underrated rock songs of the past 25 years
Sorry YOU ARE WRONG not just the song.. .. one of the most UNDERRATED BANDS EVER !! I saw them back in 97 in a Very small venue.. . They were AMAZING. Travis is a Voice GOD!! ..
Yeah from a band that gave up entirely..... great music, but they had soooo much more to give.... even with everything that happened....
Underrated bands EVER
@@coolmoon4382 I saw them in 99 at ozzfest and they were so fucking good. One of the heaviest acoustic sets I’ve ever seen. They blew my mind. And I saw them again a few years later and they kicked ass again. Is he clean now??
not by me....my ex gf of 20 years ago just sent me this song haha....maybe i get some assmane!
This song is still so funky. The acoustic version is still the best.
love how he looks in that shirt and this song rocks!!!! Travis is a genius and has overcome so much....asperger's syndrome and meth addiction....he is doing well these days and still writing. I wish hims the very best.

You mean Travis "went into a brave direction." He made a huge mistake when he fired everyone else.
I still listen to this to this day I'll forever love it 😍
So listen down you little man
I'm not the one who is trying to change you...yeah.
And if you come to understand, it will be okay yeah
You need to change it now!
I'm not the one who's tryin' to be

That's somethin' you need to change.

Your enemy, your enemy
Very underrated track
This song is in my eternal music library. I can't get enough watching over and over again. This is a sizzler.
So hard to believe that this song has 21 years old
yes, yes it is
Ya somos viejos .
Green and Red are such amazing pieces of art. The spiritual growth was so impressive.
I love that damn smile at the end of the video.
its crazy how different this mix is than the album, its like depeche mode and alice in chains had a child, which is inspirational to me right now because i love elctronic music and the acoustic guitar, but i still love the style of the green album! female backing vocals and beautiful guitar songs by the one and only travis meeks
this music video is just a little weird but thats fine lol

It’s a really good sound.
The yarl becomes inconsequential behind melodies like those. Brilliant songwriter, incredible arranger. I'm a sonic nerd, and he knows how to mix a damn album.
Haters gonna hate. I love this band's sound. I love the yarling style in general.
Tweakers gonna tweak
Bwahahahahaha!!!!!! That's fuckin' funny right there. Damn.
harveyvid what are you 15 ?
I like yarling too. I just don't like when it's wayyyy overdone like stapp
Sorry but what's yarling? Gosh I love this band
Miss these guys so much. Just an Indiana boy, on an Indiana night.
i went in killing the sun, i once won, i once won...
he was beautful n still is
I find this song to be a message from my higher self to my ego. Absolutely fantastic album!!! Namaste' 😎
Very cool perspective, my dude
Nice insight, this was actually vwritten by the band for Travis Meeks who was out of his right mind on heroin and other drugs and was super paranoid and killing himself
His tattoos bother me would prefer body art paint or something similar fantastic tho bless
Wrong, close, so close
💕
Love those 3 records, they are timeless. Saw Days of the New at House of Blues in Chicago twice- Dec '99 and Dec '00. Great shows- Travis was on top of his game
Green is the best album! Travis is a genius and my favorite guitar player of All time!
I think the original was the best, you possibly would call it Yellow, but it's far from it. It was the most courageous out of all.
@@jimbojones8208 yellow is good too, but in terms of experimentation, it goes to green for me. Took me awhile to get into it, but it's my favorite of his work, and all the hidden albums on youtube too.
Yellow album !!
Only after the red! 🙂
@@fernandoromeroaraya9731 yes! the red album got me into travis's music a few years back
Just saw them in Poughkeepsie and they packed the place and they rocked! Awesome show!
I saw these guys at Main Streets in Murfreesboro, TN. Hung out with them before the show.
Epic and timeless.. saw em live Fall Jam , Houston Tx 1998. Badass!!
Such an incredible artist and musician.
Ah my dad loves them and got me adddicted. I'm so lucky I was brought up on this musicccc:) This song & weapon and the wound are BY FAR their bestt
I have seen this video an unhealthy amount of times.
not unhealthy at all in my opinion.. it brings me peace honestly.
Why is this not a classic? So good
Now this is a real song, authentic sounds, vocals, as well as a meaning message :)
IVE HAD THIS CD FOR TEN YEARS AND NEVER LISTENED TO IT, NOW IM GLAD I GOT IT, PRETTY GOOD STUFF
Was listening to this in the nineties, my kids still play it. It's all good.
Where ever you are Travis I’m still pulling for you
Made this at twenty years old. AWESOME.
2023 and still listening..
Miss em immensely. That bass is the shyt!
I've been searching for this song since 1999. My roommate at Fort Bragg played it every morning after PT when we were going though SOCM.
GREAT BAND regardless of the drugs three of my favorite albums in my collection.
Am i the only one who thinks the 2nd album is the best? lol Every single album is a masterpiece though. Travis is a musical genius. I
Agreed
"I'M NOT THE ONE WHO'S TRYING TO BE YOUR ENEMY, THAT'S SOMETHING YOU NEED TO CHANGE"...
I've been vocalizing w this song for days. Fantastic.
I haven't heard this song in about 9 years. I used to have two of their albums but my ex stole them. Recently, I had this song in my head and had to look it up :) Still love this song.
Awesome song!
Travis: “I’m not the one who’s tryin to change you”
Also Travis: “You need to change”
I love this song!!
25 years ahead of time.
If not, more
2020
About 21yrs old this song is 😎👍🏻
Best comment winner
Man, I sure do miss the nineties! Sad but honest truth!!
Travis was one of those artists that teetered on the tight rope of being a genius and insane. This is genius....sad he threw a lot of himself away. Great talent, bad choices.....
That's the perfect way to put it.
Some of us come from trash and that's all we know how to be, usable and disposable. I wouldn't mind gettin out the can like Travis did for a minute.
@@offhandacoustic Amen to that
Loved this song back in the day. I think a friend from Indiana told me about DOTN and Tantric, behing in Scotland I'd never heard of them without the interwebs.
look for Nichole Scherzinger in this video, you see her a couple of times lol, most people don't realize that she was in the band for this album!
Damn I miss me some Days of the New. That first album by four 18 year olds on acoustics was a classic.
Good Band & Lyrics! God's Will All our Souls Forgiven to Heaven in our Loving Lord Jesus Christ Thanks.Amen. God is All Love.Peace & Light to us All.Amen
This song is about himself. Looking in the mirror. A brilliant guy. Sometimes being brilliant doesn't erase your demons.
Yo Travis, there are lots of us out here who can lend you a hand. I know the hardest fucking thing to do is to ask. We are out here for you, bro.
Looks like Lt. Dan got his legs back...
Hahahahahahahaha
Kevin Hillman omg...hahahahaha SO TRUE!!!
Kevin Hillman Haha
Lmfao greatest comment ever
Magic Legs!!!!
90's post-grunge at it's best
One of my favorite videos and songs of all time!
WHO CARES HOW OLD YOU ARE OR WHAT YOUR LOST DECADES WERE SPENT ON....COME BACK TO US!!!!!
I like this song, it may be weird but it is a good song👍👍
“But lieutenant Dan, you don’t got no legs”!
You got a real laugh out of me
I was at the Louisville Palace when they filmed this video.
still jamming this in almost 2024. seen travis live about 8 years ago or so, did this song live, amazing
love this song... how it changes
What happened to Travis is a real tragedy. :( I hope he wins the battle against his inner demons.
I agree completely. I hope so as well :(
*drama, not tragedy
Wonder why no one likes this hmmm..
What happened?
@@steviewander2693 He was on intervention. it's on youtube if you search intervention travis meth. he is badly hooked on meth. Nice dude.... just fell hard. My band opened for them a couple times back after this album released. he was only like 17 or 18 if I remember correctly.
Love this song and band. Artists now a days suck. So glad i grew up in the 80"s and early 90"s. Miss my groupie days! Getting old sucks shit!
This brings back memories of art school in Utica and KRock. I miss the Utica station. They played a lot of Days.
fuck yeah!!! without a doubt!! and to think they were only like 17 when their crazy awesome debut cd came out!! fucking insane talent!!
Their style is like a cross between Nirvana and INXS. I like it! Where did they go?
I need my grandson to come to realize that there's so much more 😭 out there!!!!! He's only 18!!!!
Such a great tune
i loved this song b4 it barely got goin..omg he is amazing and powerful..rawr.
That's Nicole from the Pussycat Dolls >^..^<
Love Days Of The New and what a f***ing surprise when they opened for either Godsmack or Creed at Jones Beach 🍻❤
I heard this song for the first time working out in the Mizzou Rec Center.
I used to watch this video all the time on MTV when it came out.. dotn one of the greatest bands of all time
Yo recuerdo esta gran canción en el año 1999, y la verdad buscando en las listas de todos los rankings que hacen del "Ranking Anual de Radio 99", y la verdad no se como hayan excluido a Days of the New, por que ella ocupo el puesto 20 empatado con Bush y su tema The chemical Betwhen Us
"Don't mess with the Missionary Man"...
No ..dont! He still looks like a guy I dated in this video with his hair long like this ...lol
The smile at the end❤️🔥💔
People talk about metal, rock and alternative merging with hip-hop in the late 90s, but never merging with electronica/techno/house.
Travis is a perfect example of why self-control must be part of the package of success. Else talent means nothing
Anyone else glad he was on set that day to fight off the ghost with his karate chops?
best band ever!
seeing how his contemporaries and influences have ended up the past 2 decades i am honestly amazed he's still alive.
enough said about the video. Travis Meeks is a mastermind of music !
2017 baby
Loved this band for years great too see they put so many people together with there great music much love ❤ rock on 🤘
Yup still vocalizing with this song. Far out. KOOL Beans. In my eternal music library. Put together very well. Respect
Muito, muito, muito bom.
I play this loud every time I get drunk so every one can hear!!! BOOMER SOONER! /W\`
Brandon Goodbear Beat LSU!!
Ive seen over 2000 concerts and all artist fight demons. Regaurdless Meeks is one of a kind and will always be a life changing lerisist in my eyes. TM fan for life.
I just started getting into DOTN. Travis Meeksi s a genius, but I could've gone the rest of my life not hearing or seeing this. Dear Lord.. make it go away.
The album version is much, much better. It's definitely not the same as the full band DOTN stuff, but I liked that Meeks tried to experiment. This version though, is over-produced garbage.
If you think that this song isn't about self reflection, your not hearing him
Literally went from being the only hope of reviving grunge in the late 90s to selling out its pretty fucking sad
Still better than coldplay and their 3 albums were great, I was listening a song from the supposedly fourth album and it sucks, it lacks the darkness of the previous albums especially from the first 2 ones.
love this video, I enjoyed green more than yellow.. flight response and enemy two best cuts off that album.
Wish Travis could make a come back. I seen him in Pensacola with Godsmack and they played after Godsmack. They were booed off stage. Anyone following GS is destined to go down. I love DOTN. Travis....where are you?
As of May 2020, he was arrested again in Maricopa county Arizona in late April 2020 (a day before his birthday). His mug shot is online and accessible with a quick Google search. Based on his appearance in that mugshot, he is definitely still struggling with his addiction and sadly he looks closest to death as I've ever seen him look.
I really hate that. He's got talent and he's throwing it all away.
@@MrMusicMunky I saw that picture , he looks 60 with a foot in the grave. Very sad.
Gives me chills
