I was in my 30's when this song came out and this band got me thru some times in my marriage and motherhood that were not easy but were "educational". I saw them in Nola with my daughter-in-law in 2001and they were flawless ...
I was 22 when they came out. I couldn't stop playing their first three cassettes (yep) in my car. Their music took me away like calgon. Good to see they are still going strong with new singer!
My fav song of all time. Every time I listen it's like the first time. "If you should die before me ask if you can bring a friend". Brings tears to my eyes and makes me miss the woman I'll probably never meet. .
:'( I got chills and intense euphoria and nostalgia. God what a mind! How the heavens toy with us to only let us get a glimpse of that man's genius the way we did, but wow how lucky were we all to have lived in his time and soak up this beautiful music?! RIP Scott Weiland. :'( Tragic Prince
I was a teenager in the 80’s and I thought that was the best music until the 90’s came around and ohhh my, was I mistaken. Hands down, better than the 80’s although good songs came out in that decade. But man, the 90’s!
I can lierally hear this song OVER and OVER...I was captivated by the lyrics when i first heard it..."Still" gives me chills...LOVE this song so hauntley beautiful
Total masterpiece!!! Of the most deepest song I ve heard... fantastic lyrics...take a bath, I ll drink the water that you leave... sooooo strong... this is one of the strongest sentence I ve heard to describe deep love...
@@eliandallimontague8957 It's honestly about both. He wrote this for his first wife but knowing what Scott was going through this could definitely be seen as an ode to heroin.
Another beautifully written love song. I remember listening to this song late one night on a college radio station in September 1994. I recorded it on tape.
My oldest friend and love passed away in 2016. When we were children we made the promise that if one died before the other then the other would follow. When the time came for them to pass away I tried to follow them even though they asked me not to. This song was what gave us the idea, I'm glad now that I still am living but I miss them so much 😭. This is truly a beautiful song and I don't blame it for putting that idea in our heads I'm just glad I can still listen to this song.
This song was cursed by the fact it was on an album that was chock-full of hits. It never got the airtime it deserved, it's one of their best for sure.
If you should die before me ask if you can bring a friend... This song is so deep I don't think it's appreciated as it should be. I literally listened to this over and over. Great real love song!!!
This is "our song" and when we saw them a couple of years ago, we couldn't believe they did it! It was like they played it just for us! One of the best nights of my life.
Did the same for my late husband and I almost 20 yr. Ago now saw them in Milwaukee WI ,they also did acoustic guitar of Led Zeppelin with pillow"s and ton"s of candle light only BEST TIME EVER !!!!!!
I keep coming back. Classic for the reason the word classic exist. Definition exhibited pleasantly to our ears. Appreciate a gift right in front of us.
MY FAVORITE SINGER AND BAND, ONLY WHEN HES SINGNG! GREAT TALENT LOST. RIP SCOTT ,YOU WITH BE GREATLY MISSED BUT WE HAVE YUR AMAZNG MUSIC TO REMEMBER YOU BY FOREVER!
My favorite lyrics of all-time by my 2nd favorite singer & one of the greatest lyricists, singers & frontmen off all-time. I STILL can't believe that he's gone. He left this earth way too soon.
Beautiful song from an under appreciated band. I never bought into the criticism that they were a Pearl Jam rip off. To me they were very distinctive. Scott Weiland was a real talent... very sad to hear the news today. This bands' music was a huge part of my adolescence.
I just came back from Vegas after a long Ass drive with my girl and her two Hot Friends. ...they like that rap crap, but when they heard this song they immediately fell in love with STP ....He'll Yeah the Power of Rock Baby!!!
a great poet paints a picture with as few words as possible ..... "She tells me things, I listen well .... drink the wine and sip the water .... skin is smooth, I take a glance, dragonflies are are gliding over"........ In about 20 words he painted the whole picture ... the beautiful mellow scenery in nature ..... the mood of the day,,,,, the vibe of their laid back and respectful relationship ...... his attraction to her physical beauty and sensuality, as well as his interest in her mind....... there's a whole substantive chapter there, crammed into a couple of lines
The woman that I love just dropped this song to me, not knowing this was the only one I felt for over 27 years now, was reserved for "THE ONE". Had to share this. There are still good things to experience fellow humans!!
The unfortunate thing with this song... no one knows how great it is, unless you're an STP fan.
Sad... one of their best!!
Ralph Italian amen to that. Beautiful song
Cherokee Spirit great name you have. Thanks for the endorsement, it's true
Probably my favorite stp song. What a great love song it is.
star gazer so true
I agree, only staunch STP fans know this song and its' awesomeness. Those lyrics. Miss Scott. RIP
Scott wrote this song directly from his heart about the love of his life, his wife....Greatest love song ever IMHO.
"If you should die before me, ask if you can bring a friend..." Damn. What a great voice and talent.
+drewper73 That line gets me every time. Chills and, now, I get a little misty eyed...
+drewper73 Totally agree, holy shit that simple line is so fucking deep and intense!
i love that sentence..its really deep
My favourite from purple.. I made an acoustic cover for this song ı hope you like it..

Fast Eddy, you know
Big Empty for me, but this is awesome too

Completely agree.
So true the words are crazy
These men whom I have never met have had such an impact on my life. I was what 11, 12?? and till this day these songs blow me away. Thanks STP!
strongman5727. Me to

No other song touches my soul like this one
Truth
My holy trinity would be this masterpiece &
Title Song -The Black Crowes
Classic Girl -Jane's Addiction
My fav song of all time. Every time I listen it's like the first time. "If you should die before me ask if you can bring a friend". Brings tears to my eyes and makes me miss the woman I'll probably never meet. .
R.I.P. Scott.

Same. Every time. 80's/90's child here.
@Brenda Pearce Damn, I miss the 90's!!
EXACTLY!!!
This song is transcendent
That song or voice or lyrics will never happen ever again . Cheers STP
A gifted songwriter he is/was...hardly ever heard a love song which goes deeper than that.
Heard this song and simply forgot how great it was. I think this is one of their best ever...
I can lierally hear this song OVER and OVER...I was captivated by the lyrics when i first heard it..."Still" gives me chills...LOVE this song so hauntley beautiful
Getting chills listening now.
Takes me back, way back.
Total masterpiece!!! Of the most deepest song I ve heard... fantastic lyrics...take a bath, I ll drink the water that you leave... sooooo strong... this is one of the strongest sentence I ve heard to describe deep love...
This song is about drugs...fyi
@@eliandallimontague8957 It's honestly about both. He wrote this for his first wife but knowing what Scott was going through this could definitely be seen as an ode to heroin.
This is so freaking beautiful... "take a bath, I'll drink the water that you leave". Masterpiece!
And by the way, thanks John for the video... it is very nice!
Enrique Corro that line got me at 18 ... genius
Now that's a fucking love song son!!
I'm 12 years old again when I hear this. The nostalgia is overwhelming. RIP Scott, you had a massive impact on my childhood.
I absolutely HATE love songs!!!
Yet this is one of the greatest songs ever recorded.
This is the most romantic song ever and the BEST STP put out there!!
Deborah Abrams Moore 100% agree 😍

One of the greatest lyricist in my opinion
my favorite Stone Temple Pilots song ever.....
R.I.P Scott
"Pick a flower, hold your breath, and drift away" amazing line and emotion....
"
"If you should die before me, ask if you can bring a friend"... some lyrics will forever go untouched.
There is so much poetry in the lyrics. Such a genius!
There is something special about listening to Stone Temple Pilots on a cold rainy day and just singing along with all you got.
An absolute treasure--Me n my bro were rocking this back in 94..Loves it
The first dance song at my wedding 24 years ago today!! Ya our first dance rocked and I still don’t give a sh- no one liked our choice lol!!
♥️🙌🏼
This song was cursed by the fact it was on an album that was chock-full of hits. It never got the airtime it deserved, it's one of their best for sure.
Rest In Peace..pick a flower hold your breath a drift away....Scott Weiland
Marlena Hall. My favorite lyric of all time
Still listening to this in 2017 scott
If you should die before me ask if you can bring a friend... This song is so deep I don't think it's appreciated as it should be. I literally listened to this over and over. Great real love song!!!
One of the all time favorites. Masterpiece!
If you find that special person that this song reminds you of , it’s love ❤️
This is "our song" and when we saw them a couple of years ago, we couldn't believe they did it! It was like they played it just for us! One of the best nights of my life.
Did the same for my late husband and I almost 20 yr. Ago now saw them in Milwaukee WI ,they also did acoustic guitar of Led Zeppelin with pillow"s and ton"s of candle light only

One of my favorite STP songs! One of the saddest rock song of all time second only to The Who's Love Reing over me.. Great stuff here
My favorite lyrics of all-time by my 2nd favorite singer & one of the greatest lyricists, singers & frontmen off all-time. I STILL can't believe that he's gone. He left this earth way too soon.

Beautiful song from an under appreciated band. I never bought into the criticism that they were a Pearl Jam rip off. To me they were very distinctive. Scott Weiland was a real talent... very sad to hear the news today. This bands' music was a huge part of my adolescence.
poetry make song the one and only Scott Weilland from the most deep side of my soul , thanx .
Beautiful poetry this song. He is no longer with us but he is always with us. 😢
I just came back from Vegas after a long Ass drive with my girl and her two Hot Friends. ...they like that rap crap, but when they heard this song they immediately fell in love with STP ....He'll Yeah the Power of Rock Baby!!!
He'll yeah? Isn't it hell yeah?
ROFL
Ok, but what does this have to do with your girl’s friends being “hot”?
Lea Waters If they weren't hot, it wouldn't have mattered because who gives a shit about what ugly chicks like?
Hands down the greatest lyrics for a love song that I have ever heard..."take a bath I'll drink the water that you leave"....
The lyrics are deep🤘🔥 love STP
So underrated. So good

"She tells me things, I listen well .... drink the wine and sip the water .... skin is smooth, I take a glance, dragonflies are are gliding over"........

yes, you're right.

Melody man. Maybe the best ever.

The best and my favorite song!!!
The woman that I love just dropped this song to me, not knowing this was the only one I felt for over 27 years now, was reserved for "THE ONE". Had to share this. There are still good things to experience fellow humans!!
This song is incredible - very powerful
