In a total twist of what this song is actually about, this song has always spoken to me. I'm an Australian, and my Danish grandfather, my father's father - "Farfar" - often spoke to me in a broken English with a broken accent when i was a kid - I had no idea what he was saying most of the time.... so the line "you were always saying something" always spoke to me - He died around the time this album came out and i was listening to it..... As I got older, and I found out what a "not nice" person he'd been to my father and his siblings - the rest of the song's lyrics only became more meaningful to me - curious how lyrics mean what you want them to mean, but I really appreciate Guster and their amazing lyrical ability and how it can connect on so many levels! :)
When you look in the mirror, wish you were somebody else Just a perfect reflection, you and no one else Minutes run into hours, hours run into days You're still waiting for someone who never ever came Fa fa-fa fa-fa-fa-fa-fa Never be the same again Fa fa-fa fa-fa-fa-fa-fa Never be the same again You were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again You were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again Fa fa-fa fa-fa-fa-fa-fa Never be the same again Fa fa-fa fa-fa-fa-fa-fa Never be the same again Go and run through the hallways, and find your way to the door You will end up like always, back where you were before Can you look in the mirror, wish you were somebody else But it's still your reflection, you and no one else You were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again You were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again Fa fa-fa fa-fa-fa-fa-fa Never be the same again Fa fa-fa fa-fa-fa-fa-fa Never be the same again No matter where you go, you'll never find your way home You'll never find your way home no matter where you go You were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again You were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again Fa fa-fa fa-fa-fa-fa-fa Never be the same again Fa fa-fa fa-fa-fa-fa-fa Never be the same again
I found an ipod, not even an ipod just a generic mp3 player in a booth when I was waiting tables at Tortugas in Galveston tx, and this song was on there. That ipod introduced me to guster and minus the bear. Thank you whoever lost that mp3 player.
Haven't heard this in years but heard it at work today over the work radio and I was pleasantly surprised. Immediately started singing and it work me right up!
Popped into my head after 20 yrs and I couldn't find it. Glad I did, I could only remember fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa. Where's Guster? And who stoke my Guster CD?
I remember the first time i heard this song back in 99. I bought some cd's from the music store and sometimes they'd give you a demo cd. It had this song on it and i loved it. Is it weird i remember that 20 years later? I just watched the movie Safety Not Guaranteed and i had to find out who wrote the song Big Machine that he played at the campfire. It led me back here...to...Guster... again.
Check out the movie Life As a House. That is how I heard of Guster back in 2001. Very good movie and Mary Steenburgen looks amazing in that movie OMG! 😍
Anyone else from the Philly/SJ Area that remembers this song on a Y100 compilation? Wish I remembered what it was called because I love so many song on that album.
This reminds me of leaving the friends I made in Michigan, mainly because I listened to this repeatedly until I got to a hotel. I wasn't the same again, I was wracked with guilt because I was too embarrassed to talk to anyone because it had been so long since I talked to them by then. So, yeah I was never the same again
Mike MakesRight I was a teen in the 90s I think we had a longing for the sixties back then the dead was still big the bug came around again which turned out to be kind of a turd lol tie dies where kind of big again a few European punk bands tried to make their way back like oasis eels and a few others I think the months where kind of a confused are all and all I miss them and it was a better time than now just my input
@@jasonjohnson4592 the 60s definitely tried to make a comeback in many ways. reruns of old tv shows on Nick...... not just nick at night, but each day of the week they showcased particular shows like the Monkees. the clothing was also very 60's. bellbottoms (cleverly renamed Flares?) a lot of bands had a 60's vibe going on in their music videos too. oh and austin powers......

That's the coolest and craziest story of mis-heard lyrics ever.
I remember hearing this song in 2000, I was 12 and I loved it
It is timeless now.
That was a good time.
Same ☺️
For 4:44 I was back in college again- thanks. ❤
When you look in the mirror, wish you were somebody else
Just a perfect reflection, you and no one else
Minutes run into hours, hours run into days
You're still waiting for someone who never ever came
Fa fa-fa fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Never be the same again
Fa fa-fa fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Never be the same again
You were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again
You were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again
Fa fa-fa fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Never be the same again
Fa fa-fa fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Never be the same again
Go and run through the hallways, and find your way to the door
You will end up like always, back where you were before
Can you look in the mirror, wish you were somebody else
But it's still your reflection, you and no one else
You were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again
You were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again
Fa fa-fa fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Never be the same again
Fa fa-fa fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Never be the same again
No matter where you go, you'll never find your way home
You'll never find your way home no matter where you go
You were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again
You were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again
Fa fa-fa fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Never be the same again
Fa fa-fa fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Never be the same again
Pro sax player here - Love the crunchy "lady Madonna" horns. Excellent flute solos. Keep up the good horn parts. Really sets your stuff apart.

I heard this on the radio today ..forgot how much I love this song!!
They come on the radio?! Maybe that's why it sounded so familiar.. Hm.
What radio station was that? I haven’t heard this on any station since 2000.
Hearing this live would be the closest thing to magic I can think of.
Next to real magic, of course...
Saw them twice you’re right
I also saw them
Especially on a campus with free wifi, after a nice workout on an arc trainer
I’ve seen it a few times
You’re right
Pretty good song, that ending is pure art though🔥🔥🔥
Heard this gem on the in-store music at a local grocery store... brought back fond memories! Damn I miss the music of the 90’s-00’s😞
Right? There’s just something missing from today’s music. Even in this genre.
Do you miss the killers music?
I have heard this song first time from my cousin at Boston. Now I am fan of this song and the band playing in loops and lot of love from India
Haven't heard this in years but heard it at work today over the work radio and I was pleasantly surprised. Immediately started singing and it work me right up!
God the feeling I get at 3:12 got me so amped up, what a climax to a song
Best guster album 4 show. I rate it in my top 50 albums all time any genre or time period.
It's perfection
Stuck in my head, but a great song to do so.
Popped into my head after 20 yrs and I couldn't find it. Glad I did, I could only remember fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa. Where's Guster? And who stoke my Guster CD?
Just did it 4 years after you!

Jerm woah....
There’s a cd just called Gus
-before they were Guster...
Check out the movie Life As a House. That is how I heard of Guster back in 2001. Very good movie and Mary Steenburgen looks amazing in that movie OMG! 😍
I remember I heard this in Boston, MA in 2000.

Great song......
This reminds me of high school
I first saw and heard Guster on Austin City Limits and this song won me over as a fan.

Absolutely wild that the flute is doubling the BASS line. So unususal - really works!
Loved 90's indy music.
De las mejores canciones que he escuchado, gran calidad y buen gusto
What I love about this song is that it is from the 90s but sounds like something from the 60s.

it sounds like it was from Havana to me

Bitter sweet!:)

I love this song but can’t listen to it bc the beginning sounds just like a code blue alarm😂😅
The rocker? minutes run into hours, hours run into days?
Yup.
#fafafa color on css brought me here
Me too!
Ha! My 6 year old running through the house yelling “Fa, fa, fa” is why I’m here. 20 years ago this CD was one of my favorites.

Was this on family Guy or something?
