It’s going to fit in every time of life…there’s always That Guy tries to help her , cute little mess she needs ME because of her trauma, and THEN she does something Effed up, He catches her. Then she cries that he’s all she’s got.. Man he loves her so much it’s killing him. But she does it again and again and again. Except he knows this isn’t his life he imagined. It’s killing the both of them. He’s gotta be the one who lets go. And that’s heart wrenching. He finally understands. The sun comes up…birds still sing…World Turnin’….. Shake it off if you’re listening to this in that funk. It hurts a little less every day.. AND GHOST HER. For real I’m a girl, believe me, I have Seen some really humiliating shit women do to their men. And the other guy drops her off a block away from the house.yup, she was with the girls and the “ WINE” made her tired. Then blows you off hen she gets home. And you know she wasn’t where she says.
@@Earthangel63 I’m a 56 year old grown man and your comment explaining this song made me cry. I divorced in ‘98 and remember listening to this song at the time but not realizing what he was actually saying. Your comment explained my situation with my ex perfectly. Though I know I’m better off without her, the divorce destroyed my faith in women and I’ve never really recovered to the point I can trust again.
I dated someone like her too once. Wild, beautiful, reckless, passionate, creative, kind, but also self-destructive. Those are the ones you never forget. An adventure, a roller coaster of passion and emotions. What an experience to learn from as a young man in order to realize what I actually need.
Went through that with someone when I was in my early 20's. She didn't want to see what was right in front of her and got into shitty relationship after shitty relationship, turned to drugs to cope, and wound up dead a few years later. I'm in my 40's now, and married, and not a single day goes by where I don't think about what might have happened if I tried a little harder, or had the knowledge I have now back then. Some people just don't want to be saved, and that's the sad reality of it all.
@@jasonleightonDTAI 100% agree with you. I randomly found this song and read this message. I believe your comment is the message I needed to see. Thank you. ❤
Born 84, raised during this music era but didn’t give these guys the credit they deserved - apologies from this 40 year old who now sees how great you Legends truly are..
The man at 1:21 was my grandfather. He let them film the video at his shop. He died when I was a baby, but it's nice to see him in motion this video. Even if it's just a little bit, it's more than enough for me.
You are so right. And not to separate from your point . . . but for me: "So I sat back down, and I had a beer, and felt" . . . sorry that I didn't have MORE beer (as it was the last one in my 'fridge'). Damn it!
I need this song everyday. My wife suffers from bi polar disorder and schizophrenia. She just came back home couple of days ago. Happens every few months or so and all I can do is sit back with our baby and pray for her safe return
So hard that absolutely no one knows what you feel. or how you feel. Just keep on brother. There is a better life that you only have to wait for.

@@territucker7926 Yeah. Plenty of Hootie music I like well enough. Not one of my favorite bands, but they did good stuff. But Darius' voice just flies. Terrific!

yep,just think if u a kid in the 70s n a teen in the 80s ,great songs in the moments always stick with you,just remember no matter bad n good times theres always songs for you to get by n enjoy life one day at a time.
It’s hard if not impossible to compete with a bottle, a pill, a line, a needle … for those of us that were determined to try, we learn that when in love with an addict, we’ll never be number one, and rarely even number two in their lives. I myself became an addict to join the misery instead of letting go. That was some time ago. Although I’ve healed, I still feel others pain in the core of my heart. Peace to all of you. ❤️✝️
when you're living in the 90s and the Blowfish are just living along with you as background music at a bar or a party or wherever or even just playing it in your car, you don't realize until 20 years later just how much it was a part of your life. Rucker's voice is timeless.
Not easy to like boomer or gen z truth. Millenium 1995 onwards knows my weakness. They refuse to acknowledge my stand and deliver proudness. They still have no say about my liberty.
The 90s caliber of songwritting be it ballads, rap, r&b, metal, rock, alternative is just a chasm of separation from todays lyrics. The songwriting is just poetic, real, from the heart, and that is why it transcends time and still applies today - and it will still resonate 20 - 50 years from now.
I've been listening to this since it first came out. I'm 60 years old. It doesn't matter, the ballads of this time period are still the best IMO. GETS YOU RIGHT IN YOUR FEELS 💜
Music as a whole has lost most of what makes music real. I think technology has made a negative impact on it. Also record labels and greed has fucked it all up.
I was a pre-teen/teen during the 90's and couldn't wait to see what the future held. Now that I see how the world and life are, I want the 90's to return. Everything was so much simpler and more peaceful back then.
It was the 80's for me but feel the same."At best, happiness is a fleeting emotion: a sensation to be enjoyed while it is here, however short the visit. Sadness, happiness' ugly twin, has the same fleeting visiting pattern. When sadness visits, we have to endure despite wanting rid of it."
@@self_cancelled1776 The 90's were the end of life as I once knew it and the beginning of a 9 to 5 mind numbing career struggle but the music was still good at least the early part of the decade!
@@pasander4371 Ahh the good ole 70's when people would leisurely change their car oil on a sunny Saturday and pour the old oil down the nearest storm drain. "The water will take it away son".
Hootie and the Blowfish....so beautiful! His voice just sinks right into your chest and unlocks all this emotion. Truly a thing of beauty, will never lose its power.
This is probably one of the most powerful, emotional songs of the era. The lyrics sometimes brings me to tears. I have always been that guy that would run over 10 good girls to get to that rotten one and I have suffered in the process. Love this song
I feel the same and have done the same. Your comment reminds me of a saying I once heard: "Never ignore a person that loves and cares for you, because one day you may realize that you've lost the moon while chasing the stars".
He thought I was the only one caught in addiction but we both were. He loved this song and told me it was him singing to me. I got sober in 2001 he didn’t and died from a drug overdose in 2017, my heart has never been the same. But this song will always be my husband singing to me🙏❤️🙏 thank you ❤️❤️
Saw them in Glasgow over 20 years ago, will never forget it, they wouldn’t stop, we wouldn’t let them, they played over time nearly an hour, my favourite band EVER !!
I really appreciate all your lovely support and encouragement towards my work. I’m very grateful and thankful to have you as a supportive fan that cares so much❤️😘😍✅💕🙏
I was born in '89... my Dad LOVED this song... and so do i... "dads the one i loved the MOST" ... he died in '96 but i could NEVER forget him BLASTIN this, singing along with it... i assume it reminded him of my mom, she kinda crushed him... but thankful for the memory anyway
"maybe I'll be back someday" I have been listening to this song a lot my dad is dying of cancer and he has been struggling this song will always remind me of my dad I love you dad
@user-hn1uy9uw2n thank you for your kind words! If you don't already do this introduce your kids to your favorite music so that someday when you are gone they will have something to go back and listen to to remember you by! Even if they don't like the music someday they will appreciate it there is a lot of music I didn't like listening to with my dad that I find comfort in now! He was a huge 90s alternative fan I miss him so much cherish all the time with your kids!
My dad loved this song. I never fully understood it, but now i do.. Everyone deals with hurt differently.. I don't drink, or use drugs,, but i hurt nevertheless.. I don't sit with the hurt, that's too difficult, i run with it.. But, to each their own, and we carry on...
I feel your pain.. stay strong.. my mom passed 5 yrs ago..it never gets easier but you learn to cope your loss and know that she is smiling down on you.
💜 this song always make me cry....! It reminds me of my sisters broken heart and her dealing with her depression. She in a good place now. I'm sorry for your loss, I lost my dad to drug addiction. 💜💜💜
This song makes me cry, man. Had a friend who I only had the ability to meet a few times. He headed a hard rock band in Toronto before I ever met him. He never became a huge star unfortunately, but DAMN did he have a voice. He'd listen to Alice in Chains or Stone Temple Pilots (this sort of band). But he had a few good acoustic screamers and this was easily his very favourite. He had a voice just like Hootie and every time I hear this song I think of him. The rockstar lifestyle catches up to you eventually, it's unfortunate but true. Thanks for this, Darius and the band!!
I was living in a family shelter with my mom when this album came out, one of the other moms let us borrow the cassette and I would just sit in our room listening to this on our little boom box.
I love my younger my sister with ever fiber of my being but I can't help her with her drug addiction & this song hits me so hard every time I hear it. She has 1 year to live & I'll always remember this song for her. Everyone out there please keep a prayer goinf for my sister Lyn. Blessings to you all.🙏
Beautiful song. My mom and sister lost their battle with addiction. God knows I’m not the same without them. This song makes them feel alive again for a moment.
my dad killed himself 5yrs ago this was his favorite band and song and I am a 37 yr old man Everytime I hear it I have to excuse my self to go cry cuz I miss him rip pops
Marissa I hope so I left the drug game and became a man I hoped he would be proud of I did 4tours in Iraq in the army airborne division I carry with me always he killed himself on mother's day so I don't celebrate it anymore but thanks for kind words
it's hard but I am running legal companies I haven't been shot in 6yrs since a month after my dad shot himself I was not a big believer in God and still don't go to church but he saved me you don't life the kinda life I was and not be dead or in prison forever thanks I try to keep my head up but I can't celebrate mother's day or father's day because of him doing what he did but it makes me want to be the father he wasn't god bless you all thanks it's hard some days
My life long partner of 40 years has battled addiction all our lives. Now, when she has won that battle, she gets hit with Stage 4 cancer. How much can one person withstand? She is the strongest person I know. She keeps fighting everyday. This song brings up so many memories and emotions. I stood by her through addiction and am standing by her now. It has been one hell of a life.
I understand if you are religious or not, but let me pray for you and your family. God's plan, as long as she keeps her feet in the dirt. God Bless, Much love.
I had fought addiction for the last 30 years 14 detox centers 3 over doses. Which one over dose was on the way to Detox. I have been clean going on 30 days now and getting stronger each day. I hope she gets better brother
Way to go, DUDE!!! Both of you hang in there!!! God will take care of your LADY!!! HES an AMAZING God!!! My 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 prayers will be with you and your LADY!!!
@@RealOGMudbone I'm a fan of Classic Rock and some old R&B too. Pink Floyd, Hall & Oates, the Eagles, Seals & Croft, Hendrix, Otis Redding, Al Green, The Supremes. The good tunes. The 90's have a special place in my heart though. Hootie & The Blowfish, Matchbox Twenty, Pearl Jam, Alanis Morissette, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Natalie Imbruglia. The 90's were awesome bro! I definitely took them for granted. '96-'99 were 3 very magical years.
Me and my dad painted Darius Rucker's home in Charleston SC in 1994.. It was painted yellow with black trim.. And when we were done he walked up after being on the road and told my dad "Nice job!" and signed my dad's tee shirt! I was so blown away all I could do was stare.. Dad said to me Pick up your tongue son he's only like you and me.. ! I still couldn't speak! I still remember it like it was yesterday..
This song reminds me of my kids father. He battled addiction until he passed from it at 30 years old 6 years ago. We were high school sweethearts and was in active addiction then as well. We broke up and got back together many times and he used to tell me he listened to this song when he wasn’t with me and would sing it many times when we were together. Miss him every day, but when I hear this song it takes me back to him.
I love Hootie and the Blowfish . I think Darius Rucker is pretty darn hot ! Would we say en fuego and his laugh is sexy . It makes me want to bite my finger
I can't believe the number of haters on the internet, since he began doing country. R & B and Country are 'kissing cousins'. He has an incredible voice that is totally suited to either. Let the man do what he wants to do, and enjoy the sounds of either. I, for one, simply love to hear his voice sing.
This band saved my fucking life, and that's no God dame joke! This band, this album, this song exploded onto the seen at a time when I was out of fucking steam. I was a confused 14 year old kid stuck in a fucked up family, and no one to turn to. Then, this comes out and I just wanted to fucking cry my eyes out, because I knew that I had something to live for.
This song came on the radio just a few days ago as I was driving in my car. it was raining outside and for real I teared up listening to this. So many memories are tied to music.
I used to the rear window disk flying down the freeway just to get away, loved it from the very first .I love Darrius Rucker. I saw them I a club I SO Carolina when no one knew they'd be famous. They came to our table at my sisters request .Very polite and respectful.😊😊
That's what music is about and it shows how truly good Darius Rucker is to be able to bring that feeling out. I pray that you felt better afterwards though.
You got this friend. I know this was almost a year ago that you made your comment but I pray you are doing great and are sober and healthy. God bless you
I've said this, and I will continue to say it; the 80's and the 90's were the Golden Age of music. For they truly had passion, meaning, and emotion like no other.
i am with you on that . time is cruel and so is this NOT music crap . i never thought i would say Adam Levine is great . he is the closest to rock we have . watch his " purple rain " tribute with Trains lead singer . Adam can rip a guitar apart . trust me . btw , long live the 80's .
@@agentbong138 ...you just proved Nathan F point. Should have been number 1 for a few weeks. Therefore, it was underrated! All the other crap you hear at number 1 and this song never got higher than 9...I called that underrated! lol
Also, not sure what kinds of music you listen to, but if you haven’t heard it and you are open, check out his country music too. I loved 90s country and older as a kid, but I generally don’t listen to as much country from the past 10 to 20 years, with a few exceptions, and he is one.
@@patrickstogsdill74 While I do love his singing, he's not the best. Elvis had and to this day he is the best singer by far today tomorrow and àlways. That's just my opinion but I believe it is the truth. He could sing Rock, Country, and Gospel like noone has ever done. They do call him The King of Rock......
I agree! He is unbelievably talented! that makes me think, if you haven’t heard it before and you are open, check out his country music too. I loved 90s country and older when I was a kid in the 90s, but I generally don’t listen to as much country from the past 10 to 20 years, with a few exceptions, and he is one of them.
This song gets to me in a way I can't explain. Everytime I'm going through something in my life this is one of the song I turn to. "Let her sing, if it eases all her pain"
This was the first CD I ever owned. I was 16, and it changed my world. I memorized every word to this album. Every song is deep and every word has meaning. All music can aspire to this.
My music journey has been a wild one. Fav’s now are Hendrix, Zep, Ac/Dc and yes…Taylor swift. But what was the first cd I owned that started it all 31 years ago? Of course it was Mariah Carey Unplugged! 🤦♂️
@@brainwithani5693 so am I! Music at least. :-) I was born blind, so I can’t see, visual art but I admire people who express themselves through that medium as well! And I’m a music teacher!
I went to see these in Liverpool England, brilliant concert. Afterwards went to the Irish bar half an hour later they all walked in had a few drinks. Then they got on stage and used all the instruments left behind from the previous band and performed the concert all over again. Never forget it 🤠

Glad youre still here
when you're living in the 90s and the Blowfish are just living along with you as background music at a bar or a party or wherever or even just playing it in your car, you don't realize until 20 years later just how much it was a part of your life. Rucker's voice is timeless.

Not easy to like boomer or gen z truth. Millenium 1995 onwards knows my weakness. They refuse to acknowledge my stand and deliver proudness. They still have no say about my liberty.
Still make me smile after all these years
The 90s caliber of songwritting be it ballads, rap, r&b, metal, rock, alternative is just a chasm of separation from todays lyrics. The songwriting is just poetic, real, from the heart, and that is why it transcends time and still applies today - and it will still resonate 20 - 50 years from now.
Very true!
I've been listening to this since it first came out. I'm 60 years old. It doesn't matter, the ballads of this time period are still the best IMO. GETS YOU RIGHT IN YOUR FEELS 💜
@@cynthiadaniels5126 you have great taste in music!
Amen
Music as a whole has lost most of what makes music real. I think technology has made a negative impact on it. Also record labels and greed has fucked it all up.
This is GOAT material right here. Hard to beat this song.
Completely disagree. Listen to more music.
@@RabidSloth77 Blah Blah Blah. I’m mostly a hardcore guy but you can’t deny that this is one of the greatest songs ever made.
I was a pre-teen/teen during the 90's and couldn't wait to see what the future held. Now that I see how the world and life are, I want the 90's to return. Everything was so much simpler and more peaceful back then.
It was the 80's for me but feel the same."At best, happiness is a fleeting emotion: a sensation to be enjoyed while it is here, however short the visit. Sadness, happiness' ugly twin, has the same fleeting visiting pattern. When sadness visits, we have to endure despite wanting rid of it."
You and me both. I’m 54 and long for the 90’s when life was much simpler.
Now imagine how I fell about the 70s...
@@self_cancelled1776 The 90's were the end of life as I once knew it and the beginning of a 9 to 5 mind numbing career struggle but the music was still good at least the early part of the decade!
@@pasander4371 Ahh the good ole 70's when people would leisurely change their car oil on a sunny Saturday and pour the old oil down the nearest storm drain. "The water will take it away son".

why dont you bring them back??
Tear just fell down my face, what happened...? Times used to be so much better!
Hootie and the Blowfish....so beautiful! His voice just sinks right into your chest and unlocks all this emotion. Truly a thing of beauty, will never lose its power.
You've nailed it, Brittney. Right in the chest.

There are certain 90’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.
Another song to remember is "How's it gonna be" from Third Eye Blind.
@@EM-fi2qg Classic. 4 non blondes whats up, spindoctors little miss and 2 princes, blues travelers hook and run around
Yes. I feel this statement. 💛
Ahmed brother.
Certainly that 90s sound. Live, pearl jam come to mind.
Just saw them in NJ a few months back. ❤
That first note of his guitar… tears every time. This song is a one of a kind. Brings on emotions that can not be described. Thank you, Darius.
When I was a kid I didn't care for Hootie that much, but with age comes wisdom. Love this band.
Same 😊
I liked them back in the day, but wasn't crazy about them, too. Now that I'm older... Darius Rucker has a voice that can just cut you to your core.
You can say that again
Actually, you're just nostalgic for the 90s because things got so comparatively bad afterwards.
Yep.
Jesus this song for us 90’s kids. Hits us hard when I hear this now. No I’m not crying. I am sobbing!
I didn’t realize how talented Darius is. He has an amazing voice. Right up there with Steve Perry and Sam Cooke. Love all his misic
God bless all you like minded individuals listening to this classic. This drinks for yall!!
Joshua Sullivan cheers 🙂
I'll be at the wharf tomorrow night to see them! The band that saved music.
Amen my man
God bless you too brotha. And if the sun comes out tomorrow, we will let her be. AMEN.❤
@acidtooth Cheers acidtooth!!!❤
This is probably one of the most powerful, emotional songs of the era. The lyrics sometimes brings me to tears. I have always been that guy that would run over 10 good girls to get to that rotten one and I have suffered in the process. Love this song
I feel the same and have done the same. Your comment reminds me of a saying I once heard: "Never ignore a person that loves and cares for you, because one day you may realize that you've lost the moon while chasing the stars".
Amen, brother AJ. Amen.
It’s not just the lyrics in my opinion, but also the way he sings them. So much feeling in his voice!
Properly 70s and 80,s
Yeah. Me too.
Hootie & Blowfish were nothing short of amazing back then. Thanks for the good music& lovely memories. Thanks
This fucking hits you in the soul and one of those one tear dudes too i fucking miss you ma
This man has a voice that will just make you either laugh,smile, cry or some time all at once
Yes! He is incredible!
He thought I was the only one caught in addiction but we both were. He loved this song and told me it was him singing to me. I got sober in 2001 he didn’t and died from a drug overdose in 2017, my heart has never been the same. But this song will always be my husband singing to me🙏❤️🙏 thank you ❤️❤️

Saw them in Glasgow over 20 years ago, will never forget it, they wouldn’t stop, we wouldn’t let them, they played over time nearly an hour, my favourite band EVER !!
♥️
That must have been an awesome concert!
You are lucky
I saw them at The Manchester Apollo in 1998, they absolutely blew my hair back...probably the same tour you saw them on...

I know the feeling I been there before and be where he is singing about just got out of prison and listen to this song alot
Oh sweet summer child, give it time. Life will force you to feel this pain as we all inevitably do.
I really appreciate all your lovely support and encouragement towards my work. I’m very grateful and thankful to have you as a supportive fan that cares so much❤️😘😍✅💕🙏

I was born in '89... my Dad LOVED this song... and so do i... "dads the one i loved the MOST" ... he died in '96 but i could NEVER forget him BLASTIN this, singing along with it... i assume it reminded him of my mom, she kinda crushed him... but thankful for the memory anyway
NoVa89 great song.gets to your soul.let her cry if it eases all her pain.
May he RIP god bless you and your family
88 million views !!!!!! Darius it's time to get Hootie back blowing the radio up!!!
ik no one will see this but this song is a absolute masterpiece i wish i was alive during the 80s and 90s
For anyone who's ever loved someone they couldn't fix, the third verse hits you in the gut every time.
You can't create love. Only embrace it ☺️
Embrace change that is the lesson I walk away with
You can only fix yourself and that; not always. Got to take people at their worth and let them walk out if they wish.
Even more so when that verse is about you...addiction sucks!
For sure.
Sometimes we are the lesson in someone's life and other times they are the lesson in ours. Blessings 🌻
So true!!!
Yes! I love this comment!
"maybe I'll be back someday" I have been listening to this song a lot my dad is dying of cancer and he has been struggling this song will always remind me of my dad I love you dad
Dad passed away dec 7th thinking of u dad
@user-hn1uy9uw2n thank you for your kind words! If you don't already do this introduce your kids to your favorite music so that someday when you are gone they will have something to go back and listen to to remember you by! Even if they don't like the music someday they will appreciate it there is a lot of music I didn't like listening to with my dad that I find comfort in now! He was a huge 90s alternative fan I miss him so much cherish all the time with your kids!
@@JingleAllTheWay2024I’m so sorry for your loss. 💔💔💔
My dad loved this song. I never fully understood it, but now i do.. Everyone deals with hurt differently.. I don't drink, or use drugs,, but i hurt nevertheless.. I don't sit with the hurt, that's too difficult, i run with it.. But, to each their own, and we carry on...
I love this song. It cuts right to my soul. Thank you to Hootie and the Blowfish.

This is one of those songs you can listen to over and over and never get tired of it..
Yes girl... It just pulls at my heart cause every since I was little it has reminded me of my mom
Jenn that's what good music is all about. I'll love this till the day a die
AMEN sista
Jenn ok
This song makes me cry, man. Had a friend who I only had the ability to meet a few times. He headed a hard rock band in Toronto before I ever met him. He never became a huge star unfortunately, but DAMN did he have a voice. He'd listen to Alice in Chains or Stone Temple Pilots (this sort of band). But he had a few good acoustic screamers and this was easily his very favourite. He had a voice just like Hootie and every time I hear this song I think of him. The rockstar lifestyle catches up to you eventually, it's unfortunate but true. Thanks for this, Darius and the band!!
I was living in a family shelter with my mom when this album came out, one of the other moms let us borrow the cassette and I would just sit in our room listening to this on our little boom box.
Proud of you for making your way. Stay strong. You're loved.
Awesome ❤❤❤.
That's around the same time I lived in a homeless shelter, it was called the springs in Ybor city florida.

I was lead vocalist in a local band where I'm from in the late 90's early 00's and this was one of our most requested songs. I will always love HATBF!
he's is one of the most underrated singer songwriters!!!!
Makes no sense other than the kiddies have tooo much time on their hands I guess
its a shame for a musician to be compared to Justin...
he's very awarded, not at all underrated
+Sean Belcourt years love 😡😉

my dad killed himself 5yrs ago this was his favorite band and song and I am a 37 yr old man Everytime I hear it I have to excuse my self to go cry cuz I miss him
rip pops
he is with u every time u hear this song. he is with you every where!
Marissa I hope so I left the drug game and became a man I hoped he would be proud of
I did 4tours in Iraq in the army airborne division
I carry with me always
he killed himself on mother's day so I don't celebrate it anymore
but thanks for kind words
Dan Smith keep your head up man .....don’t really know you but I can only imagine how it feels.......
it's hard but I am running legal companies I haven't been shot in 6yrs since a month after my dad shot himself
I was not a big believer in God and still don't go to church but he saved me you don't life the kinda life I was and not be dead or in prison forever
thanks I try to keep my head up but I can't celebrate mother's day or father's day because of him doing what he did but it makes me want to be the father he wasn't
god bless you all thanks it's hard some days

Darius, still, and always will have such a great voice and it's recognizable. Hootie rules
This is one of the most beautiful, heartbreaking, tear coaxing song I know. Incredible
My life long partner of 40 years has battled addiction all our lives. Now, when she has won that battle, she gets hit with Stage 4 cancer. How much can one person withstand? She is the strongest person I know. She keeps fighting everyday. This song brings up so many memories and emotions. I stood by her through addiction and am standing by her now. It has been one hell of a life.
I understand if you are religious or not, but let me pray for you and your family. God's plan, as long as she keeps her feet in the dirt. God Bless, Much love.
Even though I don't know you, I'm with you man. Hoping the best for you guys
Try Jesus, he understands...
I had fought addiction for the last 30 years 14 detox centers 3 over doses. Which one over dose was on the way to Detox. I have been clean going on 30 days now and getting stronger each day. I hope she gets better brother
Way to go, DUDE!!! Both of you hang in there!!! God will take care of your LADY!!! HES an AMAZING God!!! My 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 prayers will be with you and your LADY!!!
I took the 90's for granted. We all did.
As did i.sad.
Agreed lol now I'm 44 and wondering were it went too!
@@RealOGMudbone We're not old bro. We're high quality vintage.
@@RealOGMudbone I'm a fan of Classic Rock and some old R&B too. Pink Floyd, Hall & Oates, the Eagles, Seals & Croft, Hendrix, Otis Redding, Al Green, The Supremes. The good tunes. The 90's have a special place in my heart though. Hootie & The Blowfish, Matchbox Twenty, Pearl Jam, Alanis Morissette, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Natalie Imbruglia. The 90's were awesome bro! I definitely took them for granted. '96-'99 were 3 very magical years.
yes i did wish i would of known better
I was in college in Charleston when this came out....God this song takes me back to a while other time.
Me and my dad painted Darius Rucker's home in Charleston SC in 1994.. It was painted yellow with black trim.. And when we were done he walked up after being on the road and told my dad "Nice job!" and signed my dad's tee shirt! I was so blown away all I could do was stare.. Dad said to me Pick up your tongue son he's only like you and me.. ! I still couldn't speak! I still remember it like it was yesterday..
Cool story from a neat old southern city that is worth the visit, down there 20 years ago and hope to make it back sometime!!
That's AWESOME...
Nice! AWESOME memory... Thanks for sharing.
@@garysermersheim703 Charleston has a rich history and is worth visiting,,
@Enigmatic Nightbird The band members were awesome and very outgoing,
This song reminds me of my kids father. He battled addiction until he passed from it at 30 years old 6 years ago. We were high school sweethearts and was in active addiction then as well. We broke up and got back together many times and he used to tell me he listened to this song when he wasn’t with me and would sing it many times when we were together. Miss him every day, but when I hear this song it takes me back to him.
amazing song. took some 'growing up' to appreciate music like this
Was 10 when this dropped.. They played them on the radio every 2 minutes..
Such an underrated kick ass band! Loved everything about this group that could touch hearts and preform with the very best.
Absolutely the best
I love Hootie and the Blowfish . I think Darius Rucker is pretty darn hot ! Would we say en fuego and his laugh is sexy . It makes me want to bite my finger
ITS ACTUALLY PERFORM. ITS OK GUMP. WE ALL DO IT.
They were the BIGGEST thing in the 90s. How are they underrated? 'Friends' even had an episode with them as a major topic.
As someone else said, "He's got a voice like warm butter" Truer words were never spoken!
I totally agree!
Look guys, this is what we call talent.
This is what I call sight. This is open
You got that right! I love so many of their songs, and I love Darius' new ones too. the songs have soul and meaning to them.
Couldn't of said it any better mate. Pure, natural talent.
I can't believe the number of haters on the internet, since he began doing country. R & B and Country are 'kissing cousins'. He has an incredible voice that is totally suited to either. Let the man do what he wants to do, and enjoy the sounds of either. I, for one, simply love to hear his voice sing.
another old song spree once again
I had the pleasure of seeing them live for the first time yesterday! Amazing musicians, the music and the vibe took me back to some great days!
Hell yeah me too bro I was crying watching them live here
I'm so thankful I beat my opiate addiction and my husband never has to feel this way again. We do recover, and it does get better. Hang in there. 💕
Yes we do. Former alcoholic here.
Yes, amen to that!! And yes we do recover if we start today, tomorrow never comes..
I’m happy to hear this. Congratulations to you and those you love. Stay sober and have a great life!

This band saved my fucking life, and that's no God dame joke! This band, this album, this song exploded onto the seen at a time when I was out of fucking steam. I was a confused 14 year old kid stuck in a fucked up family, and no one to turn to. Then, this comes out and I just wanted to fucking cry my eyes out, because I knew that I had something to live for.
Thanks for sharing that
Thank God or whoever for music.

This song came on the radio just a few days ago as I was driving in my car. it was raining outside and for real I teared up listening to this. So many memories are tied to music.
Yea and your still here enjoy
I feel you
I used to the rear window disk flying down the freeway just to get away, loved it from the very first .I love Darrius Rucker. I saw them I a club I SO Carolina when no one knew they'd be famous. They came to our table at my sisters request .Very polite and respectful.😊😊
That's what music is about and it shows how truly good Darius Rucker is to be able to bring that feeling out. I pray that you felt better afterwards though.
Come back listen again,its probably raining.god bless
I just replay over and over. I'm fighting the urge in addiction rn and this song is all that's keeping me hanging on..love it
Keep fighting the good fight 💪
So sorry..I know how you feel as I struggle with alcohol.....just know that you are worth it 💜
Don't stop you'll never ever beat your addiction but you can live with it.. I'm 60 and I know all too very well
You got this friend. I know this was almost a year ago that you made your comment but I pray you are doing great and are sober and healthy. God bless you
I hope you're doing well. I'm fighting addiction & failing everyday. Life has so much more to offer doesn't it?
I've said this, and I will continue to say it; the 80's and the 90's were the Golden Age of music. For they truly had passion, meaning, and emotion like no other.
i am with you on that . time is cruel and so is this NOT music crap . i never thought i would say Adam Levine is great . he is the closest to rock we have . watch his " purple rain " tribute with Trains lead singer . Adam can rip a guitar apart . trust me . btw , long live the 80's .

Also, not sure what kinds of music you listen to, but if you haven’t heard it and you are open, check out his country music too. I loved 90s country and older as a kid, but I generally don’t listen to as much country from the past 10 to 20 years, with a few exceptions, and he is one.
@@patrickstogsdill74 While I do love his singing, he's not the best. Elvis had and to this day he is the best singer by far today tomorrow and àlways.
