REMASTERED IN HD! #Tonic #YouWantedMore #Remastered Music video by Tonic performing You Wanted More. (C) 1997 Universal Records, a Division of UMG Recordings, Inc.
So I'm 33 years old now, still listening to this song, and still excited about the fact that it was filmed at my high school. John Burroughs H.S. Frickin Awesome.
This era doesnt get enough credit. Loved the late 90s early 00s. What a time to be a teenager in high school. No social media, no stupid TikTok trends.
I'm fucking old...(coming up to 60 next year). A lot of my friends and acquaintances denied music beyond the mid 80's. As a musician, I was happy to hear anything that was new and original. I remember hearing so many good songs in the 90's. This was one of them. I loved Tonic. They were a real 'tonic' for the soul. My band used to cover "You Wanted More" and "Mean to Me". We didn't care if people liked it or not. We liked Tonic and the stuff they wrote, and it was a moment of self indulgence for us. We'd finish playing their stuff and look at each other with big grins on our faces. Mission accomplished. I know they still work, but it would be nice to see them on top again.
I'm an old 80's metal drummer and I'm bumpin 50 and I still rock to tunes by tonic. I like "If you could only see" too. These are tunes that stand on their own, regardless of genre. They're awesome.
On a personal note, I loved the music until the mid 80's. After that, I noticed the songs that came out weren't as good. There seemed to be a lull. Things began to look up again in the early-mid 90's. This lasted all the way until the early 2000's. Again, this is just how I saw it. I love the music of the 70's and 80's. I also love the music of the mid to late 90's.
cowboy742 I was about to say the same thing couldn't stop reading comments... I'm pushing 50 I'm on the other side of the hill... and I play guitar this song and if you could only see.... they certainly will stand the test of time....
@@gforce1754 what a beautiful comment!! Wow I feel this soooo much! And it’s sooo true the friendships, the memories, the CLOSENESS that you felt to these people in those years was so very special to me. We were on the brink of a new millennium and us teenagers at that time will never forget it. Somehow I feel closer to those people in my ‘99 class than my own family at times! LOL. I now work with a young lady who is 24 (she’s my assistant at my medical office) and she asked me the other day “what was it like?” I literally had no words bc I got choked up BUT she could tell by my facial expression that it was almost incomprehensible for her to grasp which made so very sad for her generation. Later on all I could say was if you never knew what it was like to sneak outside at night at 11pm to see your H.S sweetheart (when grounded) , or jump in a car full of friends when you get off work at the local mall or have your first kiss be to a matchbox 20 song….heck or even wait for the house phone to ring to talk to a relative bc we had NO cell phones then I can’t make you understand! She gave me a hug and such a sweet look. Ugh see now you got me in my feelings!! Thank you for letting me type this comment sorry so long! 😂🎓💕
How is it underrated with 28,000 likes? Or are we to believe everyone just happened to hear it for the first time and love it...everyone except super ultra cool..you..stop it.
1984 - born 1994 - 10 2004 - 20 2014 - 30 2024 - 40 I really feel that I grew up during the best years. Wish I could relive it even for a day. It’s sad looking back on those years and seeing the missed opportunities and things you missed out on just because you were a stupid teenager. Nostalgia is a bitch. But at least we still have the music and the memories.
I performed this song my senior year in high school at a dance cause my long time girlfriend dumped me for an older guy....but I meet my wife that night!....happily married 17 years...
uNdErRaTeD? What rock were you living under? This was a very popular song from American pie. Stop calling everything underrated just because you've heard it for the first time
This song instantly reminds me of American Pie! I was 17 when this song was released. I'm glad I grew up when I did which were the 80's and 90's! ❤ The best decades!
@@backintheday3097 I'm technically a "Millennial" since I was born in '82 but growing up with cousins and siblings that are Gen X, I identify as a Gen X'er!
@Evelina Rodriguez 🇵🇷 Well...I guess we can let that whole millennial thing slide since you've obviously got good taste in music! Haha! My wife and I both agree that the 80's and 90's were the two best decades to grow up in. We had the best movies. The best music. Definitely the best toys! And in case you couldn't tell from my profile picture, the best video games!
I just turned 16 a month earlier and saw the movie with a group of friends from school. The girl I sat beside turned out to be 'my first' for a lot of life experiences a few months later, hehe. It was nice to be the bridge generation though between the pure and innocent pre-internet life and the hellish and corrupt world we live in now, lol. Life before the internet must seem so strange to the youth of today.
How is it that I can go 20 years without hearing this song, then all of a sudden it’s playing on the radio stations again? I heard it three times in the last two weeks on my local alt station.
@@miguelsmith5993 I think this actually about the lack of emotion. .. that's me as a kid in the 90s. Apparently not much has changed... Not to imply that I didn't encounter heartache tho
I decided to re-watch all the films recently and they were so good...they have all aged so well...that's when I remembered this song...the song captures the vibe in that time so well
What a Time to be young I was mainly more into hip-hop and gangster rap, but definitely this song, and the few other songs from American pie will always take me back to when I was young growing house parties, and trying to get laid even though we didn’t get laid, but we had a great time with those chicks and my friends And just natural from the alcohol to the cheap ass weed I’m so blessed to have this memories now at 40 this song takes me away
Great song at a perfect time. Takes me back to garage bands, highschool heartbreak, and teenage angst. If I only knew how easy those days were at the time!
I still remember seeing Tonic opening for Third Eye Blind at the Vic in Chicago. I actually moshed when Tonic played 'Irish' in Chicago near St Patricks Day. Third Eye Blind actually cranked the levels up to painful and when I put my earplugs in to muffle the noise it was painfully obvious they were lypsyncing to their tracks and just broke the sound system to try to hide it. I still love Tonic and will sponsor their 20th anniversary acoustic rerelease of Lemon Parade.
oracledantex I was at that show! I was in the mosh pit for Tonic and went to the balcony when Third Eye Blind came on. Tonic was the better band that night. BY FAR!
Wow! I was working sound for that show at the Vic. I was in charge of mixing the stage monitors for both bands, and I can tell you 100% that 3rd Eye Blind was NOT lipsyncing anything. The drummer did have a Midi trigger on his snare as i recall which gave it a kind of slap delay crunch type of sound on certain songs, but other than that 3EB was playing and singing all live. Now as for which was the better band that evening, I will leave for you all to debate! (Although, let's just say there's a reason I'm here watching this video and not a certian other band's!!)
No... it’s more like those born between 1978-1984 (The Golden Child who got the best of both decades): Then you were at least old enough to still remember 80’s culture, yet young enough to watch the awesome Saturday morning cartoons in the 80’s-mid 90’s, but you’d also be at just the right age for the emergence of grunge and the Cluelessness of high school in the 90’s.
I was born in '88 - this song reminds me of sunny Florida summers spent in the backseat with the windows down on the way to the park with not a care in the world
Been looking for this song for so long. I couldn't remember the name of it. All I remembered was the opening riff and the word "more" . DAMN !!! soooo glad I found it :')
I was fortunate enough to grow up in the 90s when music was truly amazing. Music is my life I would much rather listen to music than do pretty much anything else. My kids are fortunate to have me as their mother so they can learn about all awesome music from the 90s.
Dragon I loved that. We boomers had to teach our kids about the Beatles and Yes, and Dylan. Your kids ARE lucky Mom. It’s what they learn at home that sets them apart. Cultures sooo important!
This takes me back. There was a radio station in Dallas, TX called, The Edge 94.5FM (KDGE). Played 80's-90's Alternative Rock. Sadly, it doesn't exist anymore, except in my mind. Lots of great late nights.
Man, just finished watching American Pie for the first time in years, and this song popped up. Mannnn 90's and early 00's really made the best music, and the movies had the best soundtracks.
The absence love, and only memories of what was lost is all that remains. It’s almost as if it never even happened, and no one will ever remember it except me. It’s my dying hope that you still think of me, because for me it never really goes away.
Kids dont realise how hard it was back in the day, when for example you were watching 'American Pie' at the Cinema (in England) and didnt have Shazam to tell you what this song was, let alone have instant access to it through streaming and download. You'd have to hope for and wait for the physical soundtrack to be available in your country, then without having a clue of the song name or band, hope that song was on the album, after paying £15 for it (about 2 weeks saved school lunch money 😂.
I grew up in the 70's & 80's around Detroit were Motown was a big part of the music scene,as well as a lot of other influences. Then at 14 my family moved to Texas,then to Florida,back to Texas,then back to Mich.,all in one summer. Music remained a big part of that experience for me. Jump to 14 years later,when I moved to San Fran. and this song would come out a few years later,it had me thinking of my family back East,it just felt like the music from the 80's that I grew up listening to, good stuff, I like this groups vibe.👋👱👍🌈⚡
Love is tragic, love is bold, you will always do what you were told Love is hard, love is strong, you will never say that you belong I don't when I got bitter, but love is surely better when it's gone Cause you wanted more More than I could give More than I could handle And a life that I can't live You wanted more More than I could bear More than I could offer For a love that isn't there Love is color, love is loud, love is never saying you're too proud Love is trusting, love is honest, love is not a hand to hold you down I don't know when I got bitter, but love is surely better when it's gone Cause you wanted more More than I could give More than I could handle And a life that I can't live You wanted more More than I could bear More than I could offer For a love that isn't there I gotta pick me up when I am down I gotta get my feet back on the ground I gotta pick me up when I am down I don't know when I got bitter, but love is surely better when it's gone Cause you wanted more More than I could give More than I could handle And a life that I can't live You wanted more More than I could bear More than I could offer For a love that isn't there You wanted more More than I could learn More than I could offer And if only you would show You wanted more More than I could give More than I could handle And a life that I can't live
I don't care what anyone says the world definitely went to shit after the 90's. Musically, socially, and economically. No wonder people were so afraid of Y2K cause in way the world did end.
Spot on! As someone who grew up in the 90s appreciating music from the 60s 70s and (sort of 80s) with the 90s producing the absolute best rock, grunge, alternative, and metal, I just cant seem to understand what the hell happened in the 2000s and especially todays music..... and now we have Kanye West and Tayor Swift described as "Artists"
Kory Millett there are still some bands out there who are good, and they influence new ones to be just as good. I mean if you can't see that; you are one of the people who are part of the problem with this world.
ahhh the 90s. i know this is weird but i used to cry when this song came on the radio when i as a kid...i don't know why, it just made me happy and i guess it just overwhelmed me and i would start crying. my parents were so confused!
Heard this in a cafe earlier. Asked someone who worked there who it was and he asked his boss then came back to tell me but later I soon realized coming on here that I was given the wrong artist. Then I realized that American Pie was on TV last night and I remember I watched the whole end credits. That was why the song was so familiar because I'd heard it twice in less that a day. So happy I've found it cus I'd have gone nuts otherwise.
I think this was the featured song from the AMERICAN PIE 2 soundtrack. For the life of me, l cannot understand why this was not a huge runaway hit! It deserved so much better, as did all the guys in Tonic!
The nostalgia makes me wanna cry. Take me back to the 90s please.
Yeah those nostalgia feels are real. Who else is living in this playlist?
Take me too
@@james_chatman I feel the same.
is this possible ? =(
Me too please..any day
As the credits rolled in the movie theater for “American Pie” this song came on. Stopped me in my tracks. ‘98 or ‘99. Good times.
That's where I first heard this! It got me right in the feels and I was way too young to be seeing that movie. I was 12 or 13 in 2000
So I'm 33 years old now, still listening to this song, and still excited about the fact that it was filmed at my high school. John Burroughs H.S. Frickin Awesome.
That’s cool

Oh whatever you got it from American Pie
Also the End scene with the Kiss ?

Class of 02, and this one of my first cds back in junior high. I still jam this music. My teenage sons love it.
Amen brother!

It's got that ring in it from being pitch perfect. I just adore his vocal capabilities💖

Tonic is one very underrated 90s alternative rock band
Another hit out of the park...

I agree with you , 4 years younger but glad i grew up in the mid 90's early 00's
If it's that hard on you could check out determinism and get rid of all regrets :)
1986 and i can confirm this sentiment!
Why does this music make me wanna cry
..I didn't appreciate it in HS...Take me back..I wanna fall in love and listen to this music again...
aw, don’t be sad 💔 it’s not too late! With the right mindset you can still fall in love and live the life you want. Just don’t watch the news lol
Falling in love and listening to music when your hanging to see that person 😭😣
The nostalgia is real. The wanting to cry is the realization you can't ever go back.
Falling in love is different in Highschool. I wonder if that can ever be recaptured? I have hope for you.
Me too
I performed this song my senior year in high school at a dance cause my long time girlfriend dumped me for an older guy....but I meet my wife that night!....happily married 17 years...
That story is the stuff that fairy tales is made of...👍🏾
Xstreamaudio congratulations 🎉🍾🎊
That's amazing.
Wow the best story ever dude 😁☀️👍
Sorry bro
To this day, still a very underrated song from the American Pie franchise

Stop calling everything underrated just because you've heard it for the first time

90's were an end of an era. Glad I could be a part of of it! So much great music to delve into during my formative years.
Still one of my favorite songs. I saw them at JMU many years ago. They hung out and talked to my friends and I for a bit. Super nice and so talented!

Damn, those who were born in the middle 80's were born at the exact time to to spend their teenage time listening to this.
*raises hand* and I still listen to this in 2021.
No... it’s more like those born between 1978-1984 (The Golden Child who got the best of both decades):
Then you were at least old enough to still remember 80’s culture, yet young enough to watch the awesome Saturday morning cartoons in the 80’s-mid 90’s, but you’d also be at just the right age for the emergence of grunge and the Cluelessness of high school in the 90’s.
Born in 1980, and that's exactly how it was in the 90s. That era was the last of the vibe this tune carries.

Ham sandwich? 🥪
Tonic had the most interracial video of the 90s, without thinking about it. Way ahead of their time
" Love is surely better when its gooo oone "...... never a truer word spoken. Man i miss my youth. What a time to grow up.

...and a million more in late September 2023
2017, and I know we're getting old, but very happy for have had the chance to see good bands and good songs. I Miss all those days of 90's.
I was in high school when this song came out. Wonderful memories! 90's! 😀
I love the way they combined strong rock'n'roll guitars with sweet and melodic parts
Lyrics also make the songs memorable the more you hear them- no flash in the pan.
American Pie soundtrack, so nostalgic, I listened to it every day after i saw the movie
I am 58 and loved them soo much. BTW, soaring eagle casino tonight, Tonic and Live, me and my 38 year old daughter are there 😀 gonna probably cry.
I miss the 90s!
1999 ROCKED!!!
Custodian, Custodial, Janitors RULE!!!! AWESOME!!! COOL!!!
Really liked the bass parts and drumming of this gem. So underrated .
Tonic is so crazy underrated
Kids dont realise how hard it was back in the day, when for example you were watching 'American Pie' at the Cinema (in England) and didnt have Shazam to tell you what this song was, let alone have instant access to it through streaming and download. You'd have to hope for and wait for the physical soundtrack to be available in your country, then without having a clue of the song name or band, hope that song was on the album, after paying £15 for it (about 2 weeks saved school lunch money 😂.
"If you could only see" that this is my fav Tonic song!! ;)
Still rocks after all these years :)
American Pie!! Great movie and great song that will never get old! Reminds me of high school!
Favorite song by this band and some people never knew of it and they liked the band. Still remember watching this on MTV after school
This song is a message to every woman I ever met.. I'm sorry I was never good enough
ah.. 90"s..the best
This song reminds me the best years of my life, God I miss those years!! I wish there were more bands like this
argh 97 was such a good year for rock music
all the 90s man
It was one of the best
the 90's rocks were the bests
Yes it sure was!
missin the good ol days..nothin beats the 90s
Why aren't there more "official" Tonic videos?!?! Such a great band.
I went to school here.. John Burroughs High School in Burbank Ca.
American pie..ahh miss those hs days and the 90s
Awesome, I was born in 93. It would've been dope to fully experience the epic 90s era
Still listening in 2015. I miss the 90s.
Rachel Malley 2017 are you still listening?
2024 and I want more
I grew up in the 70's & 80's around Detroit were Motown was a big part of the music scene,as well as a lot of other influences. Then at 14 my family
moved to Texas,then to Florida,back to Texas,then back to Mich.,all in one summer. Music remained a big part of that experience for me.
Jump to 14 years later,when I moved to San Fran. and this song would come out a few years later,it had me thinking of my family back East,it just felt like the music from the 80's that I grew up listening to, good stuff, I like this groups vibe.👋👱👍🌈⚡
Trip back to the 90's love it...
This video is so beautiful. The 90s were so amazing
This is one of the most musically and lyrically strong bands of the 90s. I hate that they didn't go farther. One hell of a voice too.
i freakin love this song, Who's watching this still in 2015?
Better question: Who's still typing that stupid question on comment threads in 2015?
Jesse Williams that's me dude
THE BIG BAD WOLF
I see that.
Jesse Williams oh i thought u didn't :3
+THE BIG BAD WOLF I am
God I was like 18-19 when this song came out.. and had just moved to San Jose California by myself.. 😌 nostalgic for sure
Freshman year in high school. This song is so full of nostalgia.
I think I was in 9th or 10th grade....hot damn, music was so good then
SF Giants Dynasty I think you forgot how to math. American Pie was in theaters when I was 17.
SF Giants Dynasty Wow, way to be a complete shitlord. Bye Felicia.
Love that for you
Senior year heartbreak.
2016 ..and this song still rocks !!!
SNK G. It sure does!!!!
I met these guys a few years ago. Great people and awesome show. Keep it coming from Nashville.
Love is tragic, love is bold, you will always do what you were told
Love is hard, love is strong, you will never say that you belong
I don't when I got bitter, but love is surely better when it's gone
Cause you wanted more
More than I could give
More than I could handle
And a life that I can't live
You wanted more
More than I could bear
More than I could offer
For a love that isn't there
Love is color, love is loud, love is never saying you're too proud
Love is trusting, love is honest, love is not a hand to hold you down
I don't know when I got bitter, but love is surely better when it's gone
Cause you wanted more
More than I could give
More than I could handle
And a life that I can't live
You wanted more
More than I could bear
More than I could offer
For a love that isn't there
I gotta pick me up when I am down
I gotta get my feet back on the ground
I gotta pick me up when I am down
I don't know when I got bitter, but love is surely better when it's gone
Cause you wanted more
More than I could give
More than I could handle
And a life that I can't live
You wanted more
More than I could bear
More than I could offer
For a love that isn't there
You wanted more
More than I could learn
More than I could offer
And if only you would show
You wanted more
More than I could give
More than I could handle
And a life that I can't live
So hard to believe this was 20 years ago. It is still on my favorite playlist. LOVE IT.
I don't care what anyone says the world definitely went to shit after the 90's. Musically, socially, and economically. No wonder people were so afraid of Y2K cause in way the world did end.
Cudnt agree with u more!! I'm so glad I grew up in the 90s!!
Hell yeah i miss the 90's
Spot on! As someone who grew up in the 90s appreciating music from the 60s 70s and (sort of 80s) with the 90s producing the absolute best rock, grunge, alternative, and metal, I just cant seem to understand what the hell happened in the 2000s and especially todays music..... and now we have Kanye West and Tayor Swift described as "Artists"
Mike Nelson I agree with what you said about Kanye West, but Taylor Swift is not so bad I can stomach her.
Kory Millett there are still some bands out there who are good, and they influence new ones to be just as good. I mean if you can't see that; you are one of the people who are part of the problem with this world.
ahhh the 90s. i know this is weird but i used to cry when this song came on the radio when i as a kid...i don't know why, it just made me happy and i guess it just overwhelmed me and i would start crying. my parents were so confused!
great song ....never get tired of hearing it 😀
I just saw them perform, 3 times, on the Runaway To Paradise Cruise - Norwegian Jade - April 12-16, 2019. They were and are a fantastic band!!!
American Pie soundtrack ;)
I just fucked a table talk eclair pie. It hurt
josep gabarrós pérez yeah...1996.....
Heard this in a cafe earlier. Asked someone who worked there who it was and he asked his boss then came back to tell me but later I soon realized coming on here that I was given the wrong artist. Then I realized that American Pie was on TV last night and I remember I watched the whole end credits. That was why the song was so familiar because I'd heard it twice in less that a day. So happy I've found it cus I'd have gone nuts otherwise.
"This one time at band camp I stuck a flute in my-"
This song speaks volumes!
Love this song makes you feel emotional 😩😩😩💔💔💔
I think this was the featured song from the AMERICAN PIE 2 soundtrack. For the life of me, l cannot understand why this was not a huge runaway hit! It deserved so much better, as did all the guys in Tonic!
