Here it is July 29, 2020 and this song still moves me to a time that seems like forever ago. A time when my wife was still alive. A time when my child was still very young. A time when all things were much easier and care free. A time when my hair was thick and full of color. My how times have changed. I long for those days, days when I was unbroken, when I had so little but so much. All the material things you can possibly buy never takes the place of loved ones and their love. When I listen to music it takes me back to those days. When I listen to this song I am Surrounded with those oh so important and meaningful memories. Thank you Chantal for stirring those memories once again. PS I listen to Raine and OLP's Clumsy also, it too reminds me of my late wife whom I lost 10 years ago to cancer. Both of your music is part of the soundtrack of our and now my life.
pete this was so beautifully said. it does the same for me. it feels like she was one of the first concerts i went to after my brother was killed back in my 20's ... and this song moves me in the EXACT way you describe here !!!! gahhhhhh !!!!!!!! you should be a writer !!!!! ;)
Beautifully said ❤ I’d give anything to be 17 again, looking out my bedroom window, dreaming of an unknown future I so desperately wanted to reach; not realizing that everything I could ever want or need was right there. 😢
Reading your thoughts in 2023,... I thought I was one of the very rare people who cache their emotions, depth of feeling and memories in music,which have since I was in my early youth. But it is so good to see I have camaraderie with others out there as well. I well understand the feelings of your loss and the emotion banked within those memories of earlier times in your life. I relate to your direct, open and articulate expression here in your post, and like you, music has always been the refuge, the spiritual float that raises memories, the time machine that always returns me to those heartfelt, simpler and inspriational times of hope and an wider landscape of dreams and goals wanting to be fulfulled.
A friend of mine met her in Austin when he snuck out back of a non-smoking establishment and she did too before her concert. He said she was cool and down to earth. They each smoked one and then went inside, her to play and him to enjoy. I miss him a lot.
23 years ago, when I was a teenager I loved this song (and the entire album) so much. As an adult who has gone through love found, love lost, marriage, impending divorce, this song has taken on a different meaning to me. I feel like I’m hearing it again but for the first time
This is an incredible song. So underrated. I remember when this was getting airplay on the radio and it felt like magic every time I would catch it, I can still recall that feeling. They don't make music this magical anymore. Nothing that is made today will create the nostalgia that music from this time has created.
I definietly understand what your saying, and would usually agree with that last statement, but one thing I've found over many years is that just when you think that music from past years that moved you certain special ways, music that 'pushed every button' is no more, some song comes along, some artist writes and records something that catches you offguard and puts you back in that zone that we deeply emotional music lovers can cache our memories and feelings in.
I can relate. Now so many years later looking at it with a new perspective without looking further into the lyrics I get this feeling she's talking about God. I dunno I could be wrong. It is a wonderful song, so well put together it's a masterpiece. They really don't make songs like it these day. ❤
God. This is such an amazing song. So underrated. How and why this didn't blossom into a huge hit is totally beyond me. It's raw, real--and honest. Bravo, Ms. Kreviazuk.
It was a hit. They played it a lot on Detroit radio 95.5. I bought this cassette and saw her in concert a couple times - once in Windsor and once at the Royal Oak Music Theatre.
I find it peculiar how a lot of artist soft freshmen offering is like their best work. It's such a tender age, with no experience in life things to make you go hmmmm
Beautiful. Beautiful gem of a song. Very powerful. Moving. Cathartic moments for this artist in the crafting of this piece. Perhaps months in the making. Impeccably crafted. Cathartic for her listeners too, I'm sure. I've just finished floating down from its listening. Sweet Emotion you are here. A beautiful moment in time listening to this. And, ha ha ha ha, I'm not her dad.
I could tell that there was something very special about Chantal from the very beginning with her first album. I've loved her ever since - one of my all-time favorites. Her music has a rare, inspired elegance that I don't hear in many others - not to mention her gorgeous and perfect voice.
I cannot put into words how this song makes me feel. I first heard it shortly after my 19 yr old son was killed by a drunk driver. It's like it was written for him. He sure was a star.
Beautiful song. Chantal has been on my playlist since waaaaaaaay back. She does great music. If you're not familiar with her music, do yourself a favour. 🥰
This song came out when I was in a loveless marriage.. I felt so alone.. like I didn't know who I was or how I allowed myself to get into such a predicament.. music was my "happy place" 😩
I heard this over 20 years ago and could never figure out who sung it. I finally found it today by humming it to Google. I love technology sometimes. I'm crying typing this too😢
This takes me back to so many different years and memories. Starting in 1997 and several different years afterwards...Chantal is ALWAYS in my car! Thank you BRILLIANT SONG!!!!!
I remember being on an air Canada flight from Paris to Mirabel Quebec in 1997 and there was this onboard radio station with a set playlist that would repeat….I spent the whole fight listening to the station just so I could hear this track again and again. I had never heard of Chantal before that day and she’s been a favorite of mine ever since
Chantal's performance of THIS Song Live on LILLITH FAIR is AMAZING...She totally Captured the Audience. An Artist you Must SEE LIVE! Saw her Trinity Church Toronto concert, but CHANTAL's Massey Hall Shows with Raine and their children wandering on stage "interupting" were Especially Magical, too! Very Gifted Couple making Us Canadians Proud!!! ❤❤
I heard this song shortly after a best friend of mine committed suicide years ago now. It's so comforting to hear this song, but also painful. I want to pull him back to this time. When she talks about the bomb, it's when I got the phone call he was gone. I miss you, Dave. 💜
I played this song on repeat during my suicide attempt 20years ago. Although im still here and alive I'm still in a dad place. So here I am, sitting alone in my room with this song on repeat once again. This time I choose to keep living. I've accepted the fact that maybe happiness just isn't for me.
@@nanasinlove happiness.is for everyone.. Everyday do one positive thing No matter how small. Everyday do one thing you love True happiness comes from our ability to show compassion.. When feeling down try to remember all the good in you. All the beauty. The world can be an ugly & cruel ace. Don't give in to that. There is a lot of love and beauty out there. Sending you love ❤
I really love this song, Chantal has such a beautiful voice that I can hear for years and years. I heard this song back in 2019 before the pandemic happened. I will never forget this song it’s gets me through my toughest times.
I had a strange experience with this song. One day I woke up to hearing the last few lines of the chorus on my clock radio. "I still hear the bomb/I still hate the bomb/I still fear the bomb". It haunted me all morning as I worked on the job application I was preparing. At around noon, I turned on the news, which I'd been avoiding in order not to distract myself. It was September 11, 2001. Of course, those weren't bombs that fell on the Twin Towers, but they might as well have been.
It’s March again and 11 years have passed since you left us. Sometimes when I see you in a dream it takes me back to that darkest part of grief that over the years, time has given me longer reprieves from. But I would not change a thing babe.
I remember going to her concert when I was 21 days old. It was actually a concert that had many artists but we were a little bit late and as I was walking over this huge bridge, she was playing the song, playing the piano and belting her voice out, I could hear her from far away as I walked over the bridge. I could hear this music and it gave me chills. This song is so nostalgic. It definitely brings me back to when I was 21 again her music. Music is beautiful, and her music touches you deep within to your core.
"I was there when you shone as bright as Bethlehem from afar, I was there when you were young and strong ....and everything that makes a young man star..oh you were a star" ☆
Just remember this song a moment ago from when I was 13 years old year 1998 Im in grade 6. Still loved it up to now since the first time I heard it.Underrated artist.
Amazing song, and what's brilliant is that what us technically the bridge , "...all around ..." sounds like it's the chorus, so when the ACTUAL chorus hits, "don't you lose sight of me now " it's stunning....
I woke up one morning and sunlight hit the corner of my brain adjacent to the place in my heart this song affected me so many years ago and forgot about or carefully and gently locked away for safekeeping. I felt the same way I did then. This song makes me imagine the love of my life hearing the chorus in his head of this song the first time he sees me walk in the room. It's that kind of song.
This was on the album I bought for my first girlfriend. The one I still talk to. It was new back then, and sounds as good now as it did then, driving to nowhere listening to music.
I just heard this through Google music, and I just...went totally silent. I had to hold my breath for a second, the memory was so strong. I haven't heard this song in literally at least 18 years. Back then I had no idea what this was about but I absolutely loved the song and sang along to it every time it played. It's amazing how my memory slowly came back to remembering this!! I felt myself slowly start to sing along, and by the end of it I was humming along like it was just yesterday I last heard it~ I'm huge into memories, especially childhood memories, so I'll geek out at this kind of thing forever! ❤ I understand now after reading the comments what this is about. So sad :
This song holds up. Chantel is a killer writer and her voice is fucking amazing. This song brings me back to my childhood bedroom listening to the FM radio trying to fall asleep at 8pm 😂
I have loved this song for so long, but I did not know the backstory until yesterday. She wrote this song about her teenage boyfriend who committed suicide. Apparently this song is so emotionally moving to her (still) that she does not perform this song live
Saw her in Canada in thee day of good music and I drunkly yelled for her to sing Lennons Imagine and she joked to me and sang it greatly...................
This song is so amazing .. makes me sad so few people have heard it .. but I feel special as one of the few who do love it .. This whole album was amazing
Surrounded I was there when you shone as bright as Bethlehem from afar I was there when you were young and strong and perverted And everything that makes a young man a star Oh, you were a star I was there, and I swear to God and on my mother's grave On everything I have or ever will embrace I was there, and I saw it with my own two eyes And now it's all around me, it's all around me I'm surrounded And now it's all around me, it's all around me You surround me like a circle Do-do-do-do-do-do I was there, c'mon, tell me I wasn't worth stickin' it out for Well, I was there, and I know I was worth it 'Cause if I wasn't worth it, that makes me worse off than you are It's all around me, it's all around me I'm surrounded You know, it's all around me, it's all around me You surround me like a circle But don't you lose sight of me now Don't you lose sight of me now Do-do-do-do-do-do Don't lose sight of me now 'Cause I was there when they dropped the bomb You know, I remember the bomb And I still hear the bomb And I still fight the bomb You know, I still fear the bomb You know, I still hate the bomb Sometimes I still get the call So don't you lose sight of me now Don't you lose sight of me now You know, you're all around me, you're all around me (don't you lose) I'm surrounded (sight of me now) You know, you're all around me, you're all around me (don't you lose) I'm surrounded (sight of me now) You know, you're all around me, you're all around me (don't you lose) I'm surrounded (sight of me now) Now it's all around me, you're all around me (don't you lose) You surround me like a circle I'm surrounded, oh Like a circle around me La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la Oh, around me now
+DanielS yes me too I used to watch it all the time on the weekends it used to come on Saturdays at 2:00pm thanks for reminding me do you know whatever happened to that show I just wanted to know why it's not airing anymore?
+holly pietrzak Back in the nineties and early 00s, the only place you could watch music videos was TV. But with the advent of UA-cam and the internet, people could watch music videos anytime they want. So music video countdowns and similar programming simply wouldn't pull in good ratings these days.
+lilleesummers yes it sure ain't the same like in the late 80s to early 90s the mid 90s late 90s into the early 2000s the mid 2000s to late 2000s and late 2000s into the first part of the 2010s I agree and also can't stand Justin bieber or nicki crapp what's on the radio today!!!!!!!!

Amazing song, easily one of if not the most underrated musicians to come out of Canada
Out of ever
I'm so proud of our country, we have so many amazing artists going back to as early as the 50's.
God bless Canada and our people.
@@Lobo_Loco1 Amen! We've got so many talented artists that people forget or don't know are Canadian.
Private Party
i noticed her tattoo was missing on her arm in here?
Should have been bigger than it was, Chantal is a rare talent. Heavy, heavy rotation on our home playlist.
A friend of mine met her in Austin when he snuck out back of a non-smoking establishment and she did too before her concert. He said she was cool and down to earth. They each smoked one and then went inside, her to play and him to enjoy. I miss him a lot.

Haven't heard this song since 1998 and I can still remember all the lyrics like it was yesterday. That made me so happy.
Same!
God. This is such an amazing song. So underrated. How and why this didn't blossom into a huge hit is totally beyond me. It's raw, real--and honest. Bravo, Ms. Kreviazuk.
I remember the song playing on a regular basis on the radio here in Montreal in the late 1990's.
you answered your own question as to why it didn't blossom into a huge hit; it's an amazing song

So true
This is yet another great example of why the 90s where amazing musically.
The fact that she doesn't get more recognition baffles me.
I find it peculiar how a lot of artist soft freshmen offering is like their best work. It's such a tender age, with no experience in life things to make you go hmmmm
Chantel one of the best song writers to ever come. Out of Canada thank you God shes a 💎
It's pretty insane how much good music was used on Dawson's Creek.
My favourite part of Dawson's Creek was the music
... and then wiped away on the DVD release. ☹
i miss the '90s sooo much!!
Beautiful.
Beautiful gem of a song.
Very powerful. Moving.
Cathartic moments for this artist in the crafting of this piece. Perhaps months in the making. Impeccably crafted. Cathartic for her listeners too, I'm sure. I've just finished floating down from its listening. Sweet Emotion you are here.

Saw her husband play Tuesday night
@jonsmom1 me 22 back then lol
Me too
@NorthWestDetroit Girl I was 27...old now. 80's were good too...90's had a lot of great music.
I heard this over 20 years ago and could never figure out who sung it. I finally found it today by humming it to Google. I love technology sometimes. I'm crying typing this too😢
The meaning of the song is very emotional. Its an amazingly written song
I've gone over 20 years without knowing who sang this song. Very beautiful. Thank you for sharing
I am listening to this in 2020 during self isolation and reminiscing on my life in the 90s. So many bittersweet memories in music and life. ❤️
I can relate....👍
This takes me back to so many different years and memories. Starting in 1997 and several different years afterwards...Chantal is ALWAYS in my car! Thank you BRILLIANT SONG!!!!!

This song hurts so much. I want to listen but It's almost too sad
Similar to Hold On by Sarah M. Both songs are amazing: ua-cam.com/video/ZN0jDwg0UW0/v-deo.html

I remember when she opened up for Amanda Marshall..I was there..she was the best piano player I have ever I seen before Taylor swift!
One of my favourite singers - so talented! A real star ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆!
I just heard this through Google music, and I just...went totally silent. I had to hold my breath for a second, the memory was so strong. I haven't heard this song in literally at least 18 years.

I understand now after reading the comments what this is about. So sad :
best song ever
Whatever happened to her?! This song just now popped into my head after like 20+ years!
This song holds up. Chantel is a killer writer and her voice is fucking amazing. This song brings me back to my childhood bedroom listening to the FM radio trying to fall asleep at 8pm 😂
Her songs were used in a lot of 90's shows...i never knew the artist
AMO a Chantal - desde que ouvi foi uma das melhores cantoras da minha vida! Chantal vc é PERFEITA!!!
I have loved this song for so long, but I did not know the backstory until yesterday. She wrote this song about her teenage boyfriend who committed suicide. Apparently this song is so emotionally moving to her (still) that she does not perform this song live
This song is awesome. I love it.
Saw her in Canada in thee day of good music and I drunkly yelled for her to sing Lennons Imagine and she joked to me and sang it greatly...................
I LOVE Chantal since I heard her the first time! One of the best female singers of my LIFE - CHANTAL you're PERFECT!
WOW this brings me back!
This song popped in my head just now. I was watching Gilligan's Island, and someone said we're surrounded. And I even remembered the artists name!
So Much Canadian Talent
Winnipeg represent!
My friend Squirrely Dan brought me here such a generational song
This song is so amazing .. makes me sad so few people have heard it .. but I feel special as one of the few who do love it .. This whole album was amazing
2021 just came back from a long time of missing her music. This song has so much meaning to me. Brings back so so many good memories. 💛
Surrounded
I was there when you shone as bright as Bethlehem from afar
I was there when you were young and strong and perverted
And everything that makes a young man a star
Oh, you were a star
I was there, and I swear to God and on my mother's grave
On everything I have or ever will embrace
I was there, and I saw it with my own two eyes
And now it's all around me, it's all around me
I'm surrounded
And now it's all around me, it's all around me
You surround me like a circle
Do-do-do-do-do-do
I was there, c'mon, tell me I wasn't worth stickin' it out for
Well, I was there, and I know I was worth it
'Cause if I wasn't worth it, that makes me worse off than you are
It's all around me, it's all around me
I'm surrounded
You know, it's all around me, it's all around me
You surround me like a circle
But don't you lose sight of me now
Don't you lose sight of me now
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Don't lose sight of me now
'Cause I was there when they dropped the bomb
You know, I remember the bomb
And I still hear the bomb
And I still fight the bomb
You know, I still fear the bomb
You know, I still hate the bomb
Sometimes I still get the call
So don't you lose sight of me now
Don't you lose sight of me now
You know, you're all around me, you're all around me (don't you lose)
I'm surrounded (sight of me now)
You know, you're all around me, you're all around me (don't you lose)
I'm surrounded (sight of me now)
You know, you're all around me, you're all around me (don't you lose)
I'm surrounded (sight of me now)
Now it's all around me, you're all around me (don't you lose)
You surround me like a circle
I'm surrounded, oh
Like a circle around me
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Oh, around me now
This is an amazing song
A beautiful songwriter ❤ and Canadian to add ❤️❤️
I listen to this song when I'm eating sticks with my team after we thrash the Timmins Timbermen. We are never losing again.
one of her Best Songs Powerful& well Written Songs by her in 1997🌎✌🏻👋🏻🙏🏻✏️📝❤️
Such a amazing voice.
They played this in "Shoresy" when JJ Frankie JJ got the game stick and I immediately transported back to 1998.
I love this song I believe
much music and the chum fm music video countdown used to play all these videos back in the day
+holly pietrzak I forgot about the chum fm music video countdown.
+DanielS yes me too I used to watch it all the time on the weekends it used to come on Saturdays at 2:00pm thanks for reminding me do you know whatever happened to that show I just wanted to know why it's not airing anymore?
+holly pietrzak Back in the nineties and early 00s, the only place you could watch music videos was TV. But with the advent of UA-cam and the internet, people could watch music videos anytime they want. So music video countdowns and similar programming simply wouldn't pull in good ratings these days.
I sure do and I miss it so much too
+lilleesummers yes it sure ain't the same like in the late 80s to early 90s the mid 90s late 90s into the early 2000s the mid 2000s to late 2000s and late 2000s into the first part of the 2010s I agree and also can't stand Justin bieber or nicki crapp what's on the radio today!!!!!!!!
Always get goosebumps listening to this song.
Me too!
Impossible song to dislike. Why is there only 20,000 views?
Yay she followed me in Instagram! Cant hide my excitement. Thanks Miss Chantal! Mahal kita. :)
