In the middle of work. I started bawling like a baby when this came on. I miss my dad and my youth so badly too. Life was so much simpler in the 90’s and so many different opportunities that were open are now gone.
Born in 85. This song brings me back to all the great times in the 90s. The last generation of kids who got to connect as kids without the distraction of social media.
@@Tori-Crowe change it. you can do it. dont give up. usually when people say they dont want this life anymore, its not life itself but the life they are in. im sure there are ways for you to change things for a better life. you can do it. i have faith.
Sitting here at work, 40 years old. reminiscing about my teens and early 20's. I personally think coming of age in the 90's was an experience unlike any other decade, and Im so glad i had the chance to live in a time when you could just disconnect and truly relax. 80's babies RULE!!!!!
@@mowglifromthejungle5614 86' here and I've always thought about the best time to be born. Ritrous brothers has me question my bias opinion, people back in your father, grandfather days had some serious game going on and way more style.
“For the life of me, I can not remember what made us think we were wise…..” this song is even more meaningful and telling now that I am in my 40s. TIMELESS
@walterschubert6474 I'm 46...please tell me there's no more layers of break if you finally have a firm understanding and understand your strengths and weaknesses well. After midlife crisis?
My mom used to say "one day you'll wake up and 20 years have gone by." I understand now what she meant. The nostalgia hits hard for the 90's with this one.
I am an 80s baby. This song reminds me of when I was 16 yrs old and pregnant. He ran and I decided to step up and keep my son. He's the best thing that has ever happened to me.
At 52, this brings back a flood of memories. Call your mom, tell you dad you appreciate him. Forgive your kids for their mistakes and always keep the door open to them. When the days are gone, you don’t get them back. Same with people. When they are gone… only the memories remain. I don’t want to go back now. Not too much further to go so I have a lot to look forward to! Can’t wait to discover the answers to every question. Love yourself more. Do more. Be happy just because. It’s all worth it.
My niece asked me if I felt bad when I turned 41 in December. I said, "No, honey, I feel great. I wouldn't go back a change a thing." I can't imagine growing up in the world we live in now. I'm so blessed I got to experience my formative years without to much internet, social media addiction and social turmoil.
Mmmm, I agree that that there's too much internet and social media, but I feel like if you grew up in Eastern Europe in the 90s, you wouldn't be complaining about social turmoil nowadays. Unless, of course, you're being hyperbolic and referring to cancel culture as "social turmoil"
Back in the pre social media hellscape "you had to be there" or "you missed it" was the most crushing statement you could hear going back to school on a Monday morning. Now kids DONT live in the moment because they are too busy either hash tagging, tweeting or posting what they are doing rather than having fun!
This song came out when I was just a freshman at life. Damn, it goes by fast. Live it up young one’s. It will fly by. You’ll look back at 40 and wonder where 20 years went. I still feel like a kid, but I’m not. Peace & love to you all. 💛
I'm here... December 2024... that's how good it is...Lord, please keep Eddie Vedder safe, healthy, happy. To keep making music for us...I have 2 words...."that voice!"

If you did not live in the 90's you just don't know......it was a time with JUST ENOUGH technology---but not to much . There was a vibe, and people were more social and compassionate. Every weekend---gathering at a friend's apartment and meeting new people around a bottle of wine and maybe smoking a little in a small college town. Seeing your future wife for the first time and talking about music and laughing with everyone. It makes me tear up----it was such a special time in history.....before people were obsessed with social media. Of course we had the internet, but NO ONE wanted to be stuck in front of a computer on Friday night. It is bittersweet to go back there in my mind----feels like if I stay to long I might cry.....
I couldn't of said it better myself. There was just something about the 90's and when I think back on it, it was such a great time and I miss it a ton! You are right though. Just enough technology. People where more open and friendly and not so passive aggressive hiding behind there screens. When you go to an event or a concert now a days all you see is everyone's face in their phones. Back in the day everyone was looking at the stage. Not worried about documenting every little thing. It makes me sick that these people don't realize that life is passing them by because they are never in the moment. They are more worried about FOMO, Documenting and where everyone else is. Someone needs to make a time machine and then make it never go over 2000. :)
There was a decade, sandwiched between the end of the cold war and the start of the post 9/11 world. A decade of great music, hope for the future, and genuine human connections. We saw the birth of some amazing new technology, but it didn't control us yet. It wasn't perfect, but it was damn near close. Ladies and gentlemen that decade was the 90's.
Chris day I was born in 1983. The 90's were going on during the most important parts of my life and I'm so glad I had the opportunity to live in that decade. Unless you lived through them, you really cannot begin to imagine.
Best friend wrote these lyrics in our freshman yearbook, sadly she passed away the next year from a cardiac episode during crew practice. I'll never forget that day. Over 20 years later. RIP Danica Canfield.
00’s started the tone of rock to party rock. I was born in 92. Sucks knowing I’m a true millennial when I feel I would’ve enjoyed my formative years more if I was born maybe in 86-88. I always gravitate to people older than me. I always enjoyed sharing thoughts deeper than “did you see that meme?”. When I graduated high school in 2011 I had 3 friends from school the rest of my friends were in their late 20’s and early 30’s. We enjoyed listening to music, working out, camping, fighting (boxing and mma). And everything happened for a reason. Now the only reason anything seems to happen is for likes and shares.
Yes and no. The cultural rot was unmistakeably present in the 90's and in 90's music, it just didn't have the upperhand yet. Something I notice about music is that the further in the past I look/listen, there seems to have been a stronger sense of responsibility, obligation or both to translate negative emotion into positive energy before sharing it with the world. Even songs about heartbreak, cheating, betrayal and death tend to have an ultimately positive spin to them, whether it's a feeling of hope, recovery or downright bouncy. Who's Bed by Shania Twain is one example of it. There's not a hint of resentment in a song about cheating and betrayal. I don't find that anymore. Even in the 00's I find a stark contrast to the 90's in something like Gives You Hell by All-American Rejects. It's upbeat but ultimately resentful and negative.
Sitting here drinking coffee on 1/1/25 at 6:43 AM. I was about 17 when this came out, just turned 45. The years go by and although less often now, I still think of my high school days. This song encapsulates a time of blissful ignorance, being a junior in high school. The 90s were a golden decade for songs about melancholy, longing, depression and heavy feelings of dread with tinges of optimism and understanding. This song- at the time I'm sure I had an idea of what it was about, but now I know exactly: regret, pain and the folly of thinking that you know more or better than everyone.
I'm 35 and still SCREAM this song while driving alone!!!! I miss the good days of my teens and early 20s. The future scares me. This song brings me so many emotions but in the most amazing way!!!
I know this is always on my feed & just keep clicking on it. Got so invested in my thoughts of lifeing I almost forgot I met them. This song kinda reminds me of Anne Frank. :/ if ppl really knew how I thought. Like I'm not trying to channel my inner Brian Vander ark. Bc I'm not him. Wever his name. I remember hearing he used to be in the military tho. For them to be out in my ms yrs, they kinda do seem like they'd be up there, age wise
My parents wouldn't let me listen to popular music at home (other than country) and I remember hearing this song on the radio when I bought my first car in 2003. At the time I had just gotten a full ride to college and life was great so this song didn't mean much to me. I thought that I knew everything and that I would never have to pay for my mistakes. I would lose the scholarship during my freshman year of college and I would marry my first husband at 19. I thought that I was right when I stormed out of my parent's house to elope with my ex. I paid a big price for my mistakes back then. I got my life straight and I'm starting my Ph.D. in September. Nearly 20 years later this song still hits the feels in me.
I always say the kids that are sheltered in jrhigh and high school are the ones who lose it when they go away to college because they have a hard time handling all the new freedoms. I never had a cerfew after my sophomore year in high school my friends did so I was home by midnight 1 am. So when college came along it was normal
Some of the eighties, all of the nineties, and just a little of the early 2000's was such an epic time in music (and in general). It's not such a great world musically anymore. :(
Literally in tears, I want the good days back. I just want to feel like I'm living again, times we're so much more simple back then. This music is a reflection of a whole generation.
Live in the now. Be appreciative of the ability to reflect. Things may not be the way you expected them to be, but you’re here! Some didn’t make it bro. Put your trust in GOD, for your peace resides there.🙏🏿💪🏿❤️
I was a kid in the 70s, teen in the 80s, college in the 90s. I thought it was only going to get better after the 90s. Boy, was I wrong. 90s was the last great decade.
Greed and commercialism destroyed this country, and Republicans let corporations and the top 10% ruin everything, creating worse planet of pollution and income inequality, gerrymandering picking their voters, instead of voters picking their politicians. Lie, cheat steal elections, Now they're destroying the US in the next few years and will create an autocracy if they aren't stopped. Need the voting Rights bill now. I was raised by my grandparents the greatest generation that lived through the depression and fought through WW2, went to Catholic school & boy scouts, they taught me what was right and wrong and gave me sound morales, they'd be shocked to see what has become now.
Hearing this song again takes me back to when money didn’t matter, every day was spent with friends and the future looked so bright and 21 seemed so far away.. now at 37.. my teenage years feel farther than my debts and death
Born in 80; had the best seats in the 90s. These records are like tiny time machines that can shake the cement off of you and bring you straight back just for a few moments. you can still feel the vibe in the air on some days when you listen to good music like this. You find the energy in the area around you forgot about and it nourishes you. Props to those times and the old days
Im 43, missing those days.. listening to good music with good friends.. good memories... Thank you Mom for bringing me to this world last 1980, i had the chance to encounter and listen to these timeless music. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY....
I'm pushing 40 and this song came back into my life. I've learned that life is a mad scramble and nothing like I thought it would be.. I miss those years
Born on 78. High school soundtrack. Miss these days. Miss my friends. Miss my youth. Grateful for the memories. Grateful for the friends of still have from then.

I was 20 in 1995. I would never trade the amazing music scene and pop culture of the eighties and nineties that I was so privileged to live through as a kid and teen through my twenties. It was just such an amazing time that I cherish dearly.
I was still a kid (13, I guess. I dont remember exactly when this came out). I listened to alternative b4 I ever got into heavier rock. I used to think Bush was hard rock. Ha, I was that young. Still trying to figure out what I even liked still. Fahnah send this to my brat tho... & I did meet these dudes later on. Only then I was in my early 20s. I guess a guy was drunk tho. It is a little weird knowing u grew up listening to something. & later on its like ur treated like an adult. Bc im not that type of listener. I remember Brian looking at the cd (villians?) then looking back at me looking like he was trying to do some mental math, guesstimating, puzzled but he didn't bother asking. Wever he was thinking. At least he was nice. Or more appropriate / :/ bc I at least had a crush on the bros. I just wasn't gonna say that out loud either bc it was a harmless kid crush back then. Even tho I used to be obsessed. Only, like what I said, I was a kid. My world only consisted of so much. Although I remember being in their chat room & finding someone I went to school w/ on there. Her last name was frank. She reminded me of Anne frank. Just bc of the name tho
Grew up to my dad listening and singing this song all the time. He's been gone almost 3 yrs and it always makes me miss the good days of music listening with him.
Bless you. I just lost my father too although I'm fifty-eight yrs You don't look a day over 16 in the tiny pic. They're all discussing the meaning of this song. I think it's for the slow dance most of all. You tube is great for hearing what you like and Your dad is great for giving you some ideas about what to do with you tube. I mean here it is your dad is telling you next you have to go through this world and carefully pair up and go through the hard part he still wants you to make him a pappy. There goes my hero & take your time hurry up hurry up I mean you know all good things in moderation. John 3:16 and then some. I saw nobody replied to you yet. That made me want to reply. I shouldn't be to prophetic. Careful your admitting to some of your vulnerabilities in a way. Blessings I hope you get some replies and I hope good people can comfort you.
I lost my father a week before my 30th birthday... he will be gone for 8 years in August... it’s okay to reminisce and remember the good times and when the tears come, let them...
Ya true , now we get such masterpieces such as WAP and other intelligence destroying trash for the youth of today, ughh were gonna be so screwed in a few years
This is the best thread of comments I have ever seen! It gives me the slightest glimmer of hope, that we will actually make it through this. One of the greatest songs of all time!
I am 45. Not a 90's child at all. due to a lifetime of abuse and several suicide attempts, this song meant a lot to me. It really filled my heart. Thank you.
I was depressed so depressed and this song depressing as it was made me feel different about life dealth it made me almost HAPPY and I felt that was Bad because the song is so sad 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔but I will always love this song
hii Charity Woods yes we're not the 90's child but we are the 90's youth who by then have some experience bout life and experiencing the great decade(90s) i think that was awesome...Godbless us the 90s youth
Charity- Give us an update!! How are you doing? I hope all is well and you found your place in this world...you are loved. You are needed and wanted!! I am glad you are alive!!
Charity Woods - We love you man, no matter what you've done, we all cause a little pain to others, and we all cause a little good and love in others. It's so easy to see the bad, that you do to others and that others do to you, but be strong. Life is hard, but good. :)
I was a freshman in 1998. Getting together with your friends at lunch time in the cafeteria, laughing, joking and talking about your crushes. These memories are truly priceless.
Unfortunately they're living a lie. Females aren't capable of choosing a partner to live out their life with. Thus is why most females aren't capable of pairbonding and marriages don't last.
Im turning 46 next month. Don't look it don't feel it but damn I feel like I wasted this life..maybe on the next go round ill experience crushes .... rejections.. success..
My dad told me the day I turned 21 years old. Enjoy those 20s because life goes by so fast. If only he was alive to tell him how much I really needed him and he was so right.
I'm 18 and I found this song on tiktok. Love the vibe to it. Wish I grew up back in the 90s so I wouldn't have to deal with all this negativity today. Social media, everything. Must've been nice to have an actual conversation with someone without them staring at their phone the whole time you're talking to them
And we all sang along because we weren't distracted by phones. Just the song and friends. It was pretty cool. We didn't know what we had until the net came tho. Now we know.
Everyone always will look back on their youth with fondness and nostalgia, but it wasn’t so rosy. Social media has created new problems for sure, but it’s existence has also simply made us all more *aware* of everything. The 90s was chock full of alienated kids who suffered in silence, cutting themselves, numbing with drugs and alcohol and ending their lives. We played outside as kids, not under constant supervision, but we also dealt with physically abusive bullies, parents, teachers and pedos. There were certainly fewer mass shootings then, that is fair. But violence was still a problem.
1996- I was 15. Memories of: Taking the city bus to school, my CD Walkman (with extra Base),the movie Scream, playing Super Mario 64, and eating Pop Tarts. Good times!
I had a Sony disc-man with a strap, skipped like hell & the batteries lasted maybe 1 day lol!!! My roommate in college stole it from me good times...…. 1990
I was 10 years old when was came out in 97. Now I'm 34. I feel like music is the closest thing we have to actually "feel" our past again. I get goosebumps when I listen to this and it brings back those feelings of adolescence, imagination, excitement, enjoyment, friendships, school crushes, memories of the things that used to matter to us as youth... oh the good ol days.
I was born in '81 and this song came out when I was a freshman in high school. Hard to believe how long ago that was now and how much simpler life was then - time flies, so make the most of every day and appreciate the people in your life!
Born in 80.. anyone else want to just go back? Dm me if you are like minded. These kind of friends are few and far between. Long live the 80s and early 90's.
Do you miss knowing your friends so well you could feel their presence when they came in a room. I’m sure it was just their perfume or sound of their walk but we knew each other that well.
no Mindy Brown... if you need to cry... listen to this most excellent song!!!!!!!!!!!!! especially when your drunk .. like me!!!!!!!! ooooowwweeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The song's about an abortion and the guy trying to justify what they've done. The girl ends up with the dude's best friend and she ultimately takes her life. Great song full of emotion.
The post grunge era of 95 to 97 had some haunting beautiful songs like this. I was a teen & I swear one day in my whole life in the summer of 97 I literally said to myself " this is the best time of my life & I'll never get it back " being a teen falling in love in the summer is just so innocent & brand new u just cant redo it or get it back. These songs are like a nostalgic knife in the heart. My first child being born was amazing but my life of my own was over in a sense it's been all about him & my family. I wish I knew why in 97 before hs ended we were all in such a rush to grow up. Youth only lasts such a short precious time I wish I knew I had the rest of my life to be an adult.
Was the favorite song of my first real girlfriend... she committed suicide a few years after we broke up. Still takes me back to those exciting months, windows down in her car cruising in southern Michigan . I give thanks for our time together - bittersweet as is life.
I saw this band live at Millersville University in Lancaster County Pa back in May 6, 1997. The entire crowd sang along, it was a mesmerizing experience. I just turned 67 years old and this song never gets old…unlike me.
more a matter of age- circumstance and one's disposition. But I so hear you . Loved the music of the first 4 years and the last 2 myself. For me it was (Money , Music, and Hotches ) not nec. in that order.
I'd take the 70s over the 90s ... You had the magic of the Pink Floyds and the Jethro Tullzes and the Led Zeppelinzes .... There was really no time like the 70s ... no internet, yet you had these MASSIVE crowds hungering for hard rock. News traveled by snail mail and much slower media, yet somehow when The Who went on tour EVERYBODY seemed to find out and stadiums would overflow with a hundred thousand people.... But yeah... The 90s were sweetly special... I'll never forget those Smashing Pumpkins or Oasis ... the 90s were beautiful for sure!
I remember SO well. I was also in high school. Heard this song on my favorite radio station hundreds of times, growing to love it more each time. The surrounding memories of that time are strong here... I am now 35. Thank you for your post, Jeff G.
@@Ralph_Sandwich I came of age in the early 90's. The friends I made in those first five years of the 90's...best memories of my life. Just buried one of my best friends from that age last week. Hadn't seen her in years. We've all grown so....distant.
I will never tire of this instantly haunting masterpiece. It played recently at the opening of a friends funeral. For the life of me I cannot remember what made us think that we were wise and we’d never compromise…chills.
the past is a postcard we didn’t know we sent ourselves. cherish it but don’t regret anything, we’re all meandering and doing the best we can. face today the way you’d want that next postcard to turn out. love this song
Which is why the Matrix was redesigned to this, the peak of your civilization. I say your civilization because as soon as we started thinking for you it really became our civilization... Agent Smith
I feel like I took this era of music for granted while growing up. Never knew how Epic it was looking back.. Mid 40's now and everything new sounds like trash to me.. Always come on here and play songs from my youth, Thanks youtube!
We all did. I was a kid of the 80s and for 10 years we had incredible music across the entire spectrum. We thought it would never end. The 90s had some equally incredible music and this song perfectly captures that time of life free from high school and on the verge of adulthood where we couldn't wait to be. And now that we are all well passed that and middle aged, we want those pre-adult times back.
I turned 60 years young on June 10th I thought where did my life go??? I do take time to smell the roses and other flowers but the older I get the faster time seems to slip by time to slow down and Enjoy more ❤😊
I can listen to this song, and every time it brings me to tears. special How when we're young, we fail to realize how are actions will affect our lives forever.
I turn 40 this month and man how this song takes me back! All the memories are flooding back. Back when technology hadn’t ruined everything when people actually interacted face to face not looking down on a phone or glued to Facebook. Im so grateful I came up in this time period. Like the song says we were merely freshman and we didn’t know how good we had it then! C/O 1999
for some reason there are just some songs that have a deep meaning for people that either take them back to a certain time or place, or make them think about someone....this is one of those songs.
The excited anticipation I would get turning on MTV in 1996 is long gone. But thank you The Verve Pipe for being one of those bands/songs that I look back so fondly on.
I am a 57 year old and landed in the hospital at 37 with a brain injury. God granted me a wonderful wife and two beautiful kids. I’m grateful for every day.
Rusty Shackleford Likely was originally posted by the recording label or something or with this being so old that it was first just posted by fans. Shows this was just posted on here just under 3 years ago.
Rusty Shackleford ya gotta remember, when we were young & this song came out, there was no RUclips... I know it seems like forever ago, but RUclips is not even 10 yrs old yet... this song & the memories it brings back will last long past the time RUclips disappears too.
Rusty Shackleford "so relatable to any college student in the '90s"? You mean, a lot of us experienced the suicide of a classmate that we felt guilty about?

likewise . it does
You got that SO right, dude!! 😎❤🤘
I was a freshman in '82 .. and yep!!
So true
You hit the nail right on the spot..❤
We don’t search for old songs…
we search for old memories.
I don’t listen to songs like this to mark the end of eras, but to be motivated to begin others. Culture is stagnant now, but that can change
❤
i like that.
Everyday, ❤️
Great i like it.
My niece asked me if I felt bad when I turned 41 in December. I said, "No, honey, I feel great. I wouldn't go back a change a thing." I can't imagine growing up in the world we live in now. I'm so blessed I got to experience my formative years without to much internet, social media addiction and social turmoil.
Agree 1,000%
Mmmm, I agree that that there's too much internet and social media, but I feel like if you grew up in Eastern Europe in the 90s, you wouldn't be complaining about social turmoil nowadays. Unless, of course, you're being hyperbolic and referring to cancel culture as "social turmoil"
Boss energy
@@jaredhicks5655 considering the entirety of 2020, "social turmoil" is putting it lightly
Back in the pre social media hellscape "you had to be there" or "you missed it" was the most crushing statement you could hear going back to school on a Monday morning. Now kids DONT live in the moment because they are too busy either hash tagging, tweeting or posting what they are doing rather than having fun!
This song came out when I was just a freshman at life. Damn, it goes by fast. Live it up young one’s. It will fly by. You’ll look back at 40 and wonder where 20 years went. I still feel like a kid, but I’m not. Peace & love to you all. 💛
You're sooo right!
This song was my graduating class song. 2003 almost 20 years oh how they go by like a blink of the eye.
It's cute how you think kids will see this advice:)
The truth is.. you never stop feeling like a kid. You just find a job you can hide it at and a partner you can be a kid with.
Damn
I'm here... December 2024... that's how good it is...Lord, please keep Eddie Vedder safe, healthy, happy. To keep making music for us...I have 2 words...."that voice!"

You're in them now...
wow never heard that or him but fkn tru grad 92
Everything Sucks now.
If you did not live in the 90's you just don't know......it was a time with JUST ENOUGH technology---but not to much . There was a vibe, and people were more social and compassionate. Every weekend---gathering at a friend's apartment and meeting new people around a bottle of wine and maybe smoking a little in a small college town. Seeing your future wife for the first time and talking about music and laughing with everyone. It makes me tear up----it was such a special time in history.....before people were obsessed with social media. Of course we had the internet, but NO ONE wanted to be stuck in front of a computer on Friday night. It is bittersweet to go back there in my mind----feels like if I stay to long I might cry.....
Perfection on the mental rendition of what the 90’s will forever be remembered as. Bravo sir
Absolutely! I gotta add the 80's as well!
I always thought that the 90's essentially ended on 9/11. The vibe afterwards just changed.
Lmao coming from guy born in 1999
I couldn't of said it better myself. There was just something about the 90's and when I think back on it, it was such a great time and I miss it a ton! You are right though. Just enough technology. People where more open and friendly and not so passive aggressive hiding behind there screens. When you go to an event or a concert now a days all you see is everyone's face in their phones. Back in the day everyone was looking at the stage. Not worried about documenting every little thing. It makes me sick that these people don't realize that life is passing them by because they are never in the moment. They are more worried about FOMO, Documenting and where everyone else is. Someone needs to make a time machine and then make it never go over 2000. :)
There was a decade, sandwiched between the end of the cold war and the start of the post 9/11 world. A decade of great music, hope for the future, and genuine human connections. We saw the birth of some amazing new technology, but it didn't control us yet. It wasn't perfect, but it was damn near close. Ladies and gentlemen that decade was the 90's.
So true 💜
Poetic justice can't even begin to describe this comment
Chris day I was born in 1983. The 90's were going on during the most important parts of my life and I'm so glad I had the opportunity to live in that decade. Unless you lived through them, you really cannot begin to imagine.
I was born in 1993 so growing up in the 90s and 2000s was amazing
Born 1988.... 90s were my formative years...
Best friend wrote these lyrics in our freshman yearbook, sadly she passed away the next year from a cardiac episode during crew practice. I'll never forget that day. Over 20 years later. RIP Danica Canfield.
My condolences.
Here is to Danica Canfield. I believe those we've lost want to be remembered and know when we are acknowledging them.
Rest in peace 💙
🙏🙏
To Danica.
To all those reading this. I hope you are doing great. Everything that has ever happened in your life has led you to this moment. You made it.
That's a nice thing to say thank u
Thanks much. I really needed that saying tonight ... had a rough days.
🙏🏻
So true. I remember listening to this back then thinking life was over. What you said couldn’t be more true
Well said.
To grow up in the 90s was a fucking honor to look back on and think that was "our" time/music. Timeless song.
Hale Satin
Was a great time to live. Nowadays suscks.
I grew up in the seventies but the verve pipe rocks
Hell yea it was this song just like so many more they just don’t make music like it anymore
00’s started the tone of rock to party rock. I was born in 92. Sucks knowing I’m a true millennial when I feel I would’ve enjoyed my formative years more if I was born maybe in 86-88. I always gravitate to people older than me. I always enjoyed sharing thoughts deeper than “did you see that meme?”. When I graduated high school in 2011 I had 3 friends from school the rest of my friends were in their late 20’s and early 30’s. We enjoyed listening to music, working out, camping, fighting (boxing and mma). And everything happened for a reason. Now the only reason anything seems to happen is for likes and shares.
The 1990's was the absolute pinnacle of hope, culture, and actual human connection across all platforms. It was perfect.
You still go to the Castle in Ybor?
He brought us the Blitz attack.
Yes and no. The cultural rot was unmistakeably present in the 90's and in 90's music, it just didn't have the upperhand yet. Something I notice about music is that the further in the past I look/listen, there seems to have been a stronger sense of responsibility, obligation or both to translate negative emotion into positive energy before sharing it with the world. Even songs about heartbreak, cheating, betrayal and death tend to have an ultimately positive spin to them, whether it's a feeling of hope, recovery or downright bouncy. Who's Bed by Shania Twain is one example of it. There's not a hint of resentment in a song about cheating and betrayal. I don't find that anymore. Even in the 00's I find a stark contrast to the 90's in something like Gives You Hell by All-American Rejects. It's upbeat but ultimately resentful and negative.
"Pinacleof hope." No lies. It's surreal to think of it now.
One of the greatest songs of the 90s. Timeless and perfect.
Sitting here drinking coffee on 1/1/25 at 6:43 AM. I was about 17 when this came out, just turned 45. The years go by and although less often now, I still think of my high school days. This song encapsulates a time of blissful ignorance, being a junior in high school. The 90s were a golden decade for songs about melancholy, longing, depression and heavy feelings of dread with tinges of optimism and understanding.
This song- at the time I'm sure I had an idea of what it was about, but now I know exactly: regret, pain and the folly of thinking that you know more or better than everyone.
I'm 35 and still SCREAM this song while driving alone!!!! I miss the good days of my teens and early 20s. The future scares me. This song brings me so many emotions but in the most amazing way!!!
Likewise ❤
I know exactly how you feel
same, but i'm, over 50
35? So when this came out you were 9-13??
GOD GOT YOR LIFE PLAN AN FUTURE REST THAT HE CANT FAIL US 🙏🙌💯
This song makes me wish it was the 90’s again. Man, life was so simple.
I miss the 90's
Then you don't know what he is singing about. No one would want to go back and relive the decisions and the pain afterward.
@@kristenbaxter5887 Same
Yeah, screw the Internet and most of this near worthless shit from it.
The world is literally disintegrating in 2021
Since my wife passed, I continue to come back to this song over and over again.

Omg! You said it! I’m 46 now and when I read your comment I literally got chills because that’s exactly how I feel!!!
It's amazing how a song can just take you back to a certain time and place.
Having his Kid brother in this is special
I know this is always on my feed & just keep clicking on it. Got so invested in my thoughts of lifeing I almost forgot I met them. This song kinda reminds me of Anne Frank. :/ if ppl really knew how I thought. Like I'm not trying to channel my inner Brian Vander ark. Bc I'm not him. Wever his name. I remember hearing he used to be in the military tho. For them to be out in my ms yrs, they kinda do seem like they'd be up there, age wise
Ain't it funny how a melody can bring back a memory?
I would give anything to do it over againg
It's crazy almost every song I remember hearing it for the first time. It's like a smell that brings you back
My parents wouldn't let me listen to popular music at home (other than country) and I remember hearing this song on the radio when I bought my first car in 2003. At the time I had just gotten a full ride to college and life was great so this song didn't mean much to me. I thought that I knew everything and that I would never have to pay for my mistakes.
I would lose the scholarship during my freshman year of college and I would marry my first husband at 19. I thought that I was right when I stormed out of my parent's house to elope with my ex. I paid a big price for my mistakes back then. I got my life straight and I'm starting my Ph.D. in September. Nearly 20 years later this song still hits the feels in me.
the guilt a suicide leaves behind deserved or not is life shattering for many powerful song
Resilient. Strength. Pride. Congratulations. 🙌🏻💚💪🏻
I always say the kids that are sheltered in jrhigh and high school are the ones who lose it when they go away to college because they have a hard time handling all the new freedoms. I never had a cerfew after my sophomore year in high school my friends did so I was home by midnight 1 am. So when college came along it was normal
@Dera Kioandria Williams good luck always remember the journey is never a race but a merathon.
Good luck, Megan!!
The 90's were an absolutely amazing decade. I had a blast in the 90's, oh what a time to be alive and oh how short this life is.
❤
FACTS 🎯
Amen brother
So was that girl I ball-banged back then. She was very short, too. Good times, good times.
@@sarahubbert3978You are absolutely beautiful!
Born in '77. I loved growing up in the 80's and 90's...god we had it good.
Me too.... 77 myself, and life was good back then.
77 here. Wisconsin
Thank God there weren't cell phones back then.
Times past. Miss it!!
1978 baby here! Miss these days
Who feels the 90s and the first years of 2000s like the best years ever in this earth, the vibes of those years won’t never reappear..😪
Hell ya. Middle 80's too.
80's were the shit 90's were the shit Early 2000-04' then all the fun gone.
Every generation says that
Damon Wille too true. Nostalgia’s a hell of a drug
Some of the eighties, all of the nineties, and just a little of the early 2000's was such an epic time in music (and in general). It's not such a great world musically anymore. :(
Literally in tears, I want the good days back. I just want to feel like I'm living again, times we're so much more simple back then. This music is a reflection of a whole generation.
We were merely freshmen………. I truly miss those days.
Such a good song and I miss these days. Turning on MTV and VH-1 at 2am and then hearing this song, Wallflowers
Live in the now. Be appreciative of the ability to reflect. Things may not be the way you expected them to be, but you’re here! Some didn’t make it bro. Put your trust in GOD, for your peace resides there.🙏🏿💪🏿❤️
I been struggling lately
@@illicaz5701 I feel that. Keep your chin up you got this!
I was a kid in the 70s, teen in the 80s, college in the 90s. I thought it was only going to get better after the 90s. Boy, was I wrong. 90s was the last great decade.
you dont like dee jays? boybands?
Thanks Obama 😞
Seriously, it peaked around 98-2000. 21 years later things get worse every year as a whole for society.
Greed and commercialism destroyed this country, and Republicans let corporations and the top 10% ruin everything, creating worse planet of pollution and income inequality, gerrymandering picking their voters, instead of voters picking their politicians. Lie, cheat steal elections, Now they're destroying the US in the next few years and will create an autocracy if they aren't stopped. Need the voting Rights bill now.
I was raised by my grandparents the greatest generation that lived through the depression and fought through WW2, went to Catholic school & boy scouts, they taught me what was right and wrong and gave me sound morales, they'd be shocked to see what has become now.
@@mwara2444 True comment. I agree and wish my grandparents raised me too.
Hearing this song again takes me back to when money didn’t matter, every day was spent with friends and the future looked so bright and 21 seemed so far away.. now at 37.. my teenage years feel farther than my debts and death
Born in 80; had the best seats in the 90s. These records are like tiny time machines that can shake the cement off of you and bring you straight back just for a few moments. you can still feel the vibe in the air on some days when you listen to good music like this. You find the energy in the area around you forgot about and it nourishes you.
Props to those times and the old days
Same. Makes me want to lie on the floor and soak it in for just a few minutes again.
Well said.
@@stevenbruce5702 thanks ♡
1980 here too. And you are 💯% right!!!!!
Interesting. I was born in 90, and was always given the impression that the 80s were the peak decade. Are you saying the 90s were better?
Im 43, missing those days.. listening to good music with good friends.. good memories... Thank you Mom for bringing me to this world last 1980, i had the chance to encounter and listen to these timeless music. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY....
I was also born in 1980. I sure miss those easier times!
I'm pushing 40 and this song came back into my life. I've learned that life is a mad scramble and nothing like I thought it would be.. I miss those years
Same here. I'll be 40 in a month or so and nothing was better than the 90s.
Life seemed so much different then. Like I was actually living and enjoying life.
Dude seriously. We put so much work in and got nothing out of it
Man, the 90s, nothing eles like it. Frick Today's time.
XO
Born on 78. High school soundtrack. Miss these days. Miss my friends. Miss my youth. Grateful for the memories. Grateful for the friends of still have from then.
Born in the 80's , grew up in the 90's , it was such a special time then that most of us realize now . by far the best music decade in my opinion.
Soundgarden entered the chat
I was born in 90 and I agree. I remember a lot of these from my early years. Maybe age 6 and up.
My son was born in 2005. He loves the 90s. He'll wax nostalgic sometimes like he really wishes he had been alive then. He's an old soul.
Agree!!! Nothing tops 90's alternative and country music.
I loved being a teen through the 90's. I was a loner with no direction, but this music was the perfect escape.

Listening in 2022 as a 46 year old...still hits. Just something about this song.
46 here... This song hits different now than it did then ...it was just a song then. Now it's a time, a place, an entire era of our lives....
This song breaths life back into my teenage memories and just for a moment, I’m right there again.

Mannn, we all have that time with a song
Me too.
I was 20 in 1995. I would never trade the amazing music scene and pop culture of the eighties and nineties that I was so privileged to live through as a kid and teen through my twenties. It was just such an amazing time that I cherish dearly.
I was 11
I was still a kid (13, I guess. I dont remember exactly when this came out). I listened to alternative b4 I ever got into heavier rock. I used to think Bush was hard rock. Ha, I was that young. Still trying to figure out what I even liked still. Fahnah send this to my brat tho... & I did meet these dudes later on. Only then I was in my early 20s. I guess a guy was drunk tho. It is a little weird knowing u grew up listening to something. & later on its like ur treated like an adult. Bc im not that type of listener. I remember Brian looking at the cd (villians?) then looking back at me looking like he was trying to do some mental math, guesstimating, puzzled but he didn't bother asking. Wever he was thinking. At least he was nice. Or more appropriate / :/ bc I at least had a crush on the bros. I just wasn't gonna say that out loud either bc it was a harmless kid crush back then. Even tho I used to be obsessed. Only, like what I said, I was a kid. My world only consisted of so much. Although I remember being in their chat room & finding someone I went to school w/ on there. Her last name was frank. She reminded me of Anne frank. Just bc of the name tho
I was 21 in 1995. Where did the time go?
I was 30 in 1995! Time goes by too fast!
I was 14
Grew up to my dad listening and singing this song all the time. He's been gone almost 3 yrs and it always makes me miss the good days of music listening with him.
Bless you. I just lost my father too although I'm fifty-eight yrs You don't look a day over 16 in the tiny pic. They're all discussing the meaning of this song. I think it's for the slow dance most of all. You tube is great for hearing what you like and Your dad is great for giving you some ideas about what to do with you tube. I mean here it is your dad is telling you next you have to go through this world and carefully pair up and go through the hard part he still wants you to make him a pappy. There goes my hero & take your time hurry up hurry up I mean you know all good things in moderation. John 3:16 and then some. I saw nobody replied to you yet. That made me want to reply. I shouldn't be to prophetic. Careful your admitting to some of your vulnerabilities in a way. Blessings I hope you get some replies and I hope good people can comfort you.

Amen bro!

A true 90s treasure. People don't write music like this anymore.
Ya true , now we get such masterpieces such as WAP and other intelligence destroying trash for the youth of today, ughh were gonna be so screwed in a few years
Or maybe generic popsongs with interchanging sexy faces are much more profitable so these songs just don't get playtime on the radio...

🤎❤️🤍❤️🤎
I was a freshman in 1998. Getting together with your friends at lunch time in the cafeteria, laughing, joking and talking about your crushes. These memories are truly priceless.
This is what I keep telling my kids who are teens, that their memories in high school will be memories they cherish for the rest of their lives.
Unfortunately they're living a lie. Females aren't capable of choosing a partner to live out their life with. Thus is why most females aren't capable of pairbonding and marriages don't last.
I’m 50 and I can’t believe where all the years went.
18
Im turning 46 next month. Don't look it don't feel it but damn I feel like I wasted this life..maybe on the next go round ill experience crushes .... rejections.. success..
My dad told me the day I turned 21 years old. Enjoy those 20s because life goes by so fast. If only he was alive to tell him how much I really needed him and he was so right.
I'm 18 and I found this song on tiktok. Love the vibe to it. Wish I grew up back in the 90s so I wouldn't have to deal with all this negativity today. Social media, everything. Must've been nice to have an actual conversation with someone without them staring at their phone the whole time you're talking to them
It was nice feeling connected to people, technology ruined that connection. The 90s where a whole different time.
@@thatoneguy7684 it was a totally different world .....
Do yourself a favor,BOYCOTT TIKTOK, run by Communist Chinese Government
And we all sang along because we weren't distracted by phones. Just the song and friends. It was pretty cool. We didn't know what we had until the net came tho. Now we know.
Everyone always will look back on their youth with fondness and nostalgia, but it wasn’t so rosy. Social media has created new problems for sure, but it’s existence has also simply made us all more *aware* of everything. The 90s was chock full of alienated kids who suffered in silence, cutting themselves, numbing with drugs and alcohol and ending their lives. We played outside as kids, not under constant supervision, but we also dealt with physically abusive bullies, parents, teachers and pedos. There were certainly fewer mass shootings then, that is fair. But violence was still a problem.
1996- I was 15. Memories of: Taking the city bus to school, my CD Walkman (with extra Base),the movie Scream, playing Super Mario 64, and eating Pop Tarts. Good times!
Not with the base?! Sony?
Same here. It was my freshmen year ironically.
I had a Sony disc-man with a strap, skipped like hell & the batteries lasted maybe 1 day lol!!! My roommate in college stole it from me good times...…. 1990
I was 10 years old when was came out in 97. Now I'm 34. I feel like music is the closest thing we have to actually "feel" our past again. I get goosebumps when I listen to this and it brings back those feelings of adolescence, imagination, excitement, enjoyment, friendships, school crushes, memories of the things that used to matter to us as youth... oh the good ol days.
God I totally know what u mean!
Yes ❤️❤️❤️😭
Aww, i was 11 years old! I agree with you 🍀🌻
I was born in '81 and this song came out when I was a freshman in high school. Hard to believe how long ago that was now and how much simpler life was then - time flies, so make the most of every day and appreciate the people in your life!

Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow is unknown. Today is a gift. Life is short, play hard.
I thought Tuesday was gone. That song makes more sense when you realize Tuesday is a girls name.
Craig Spoor absolutely true
Love harder !
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift, that's why it's called the present. "Kung Fu Panda"-not me.
Live hard.
Born in 80.. anyone else want to just go back? Dm me if you are like minded. These kind of friends are few and far between. Long live the 80s and early 90's.
Do you miss knowing your friends so well you could feel their presence when they came in a room. I’m sure it was just their perfume or sound of their walk but we knew each other that well.
Yes ❤❤❤❤the good ole days

Hey Will I just listened to longDecember You are very talanted man keep it up!
No Problem Will I love good music and you have an amazing talent Thank you!
My very favorite song. It speaks to me.
no Mindy Brown... if you need to cry... listen to this most excellent song!!!!!!!!!!!!! especially when your drunk .. like me!!!!!!!! ooooowwweeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Something about this song....maybe the sense of lost innocence. Who can’t identify with that.
Miss Kitty ..... Miss brown
m&m's chocolate Mars company
Forfeited my innocence a long time ago
The song's about an abortion and the guy trying to justify what they've done. The girl ends up with the dude's best friend and she ultimately takes her life. Great song full of emotion.
This song is about his girlfriend who committed suicide after having an abortion. It's a true sad story.

I was a teen & I swear one day in my whole life in the summer of 97 I literally said to myself " this is the best time of my life & I'll never get it back " being a teen falling in love in the summer is just so innocent & brand new u just cant redo it or get it back. These songs are like a nostalgic knife in the heart. My first child being born was amazing but my life of my own was over in a sense it's been all about him & my family. I wish I knew why in 97 before hs ended we were all in such a rush to grow up. Youth only lasts such a short precious time I wish I knew I had the rest of my life to be an adult.
Yes!!!!❤❤❤
Hit that right on the head!
Was the favorite song of my first real girlfriend... she committed suicide a few years after we broke up. Still takes me back to those exciting months, windows down in her car cruising in southern Michigan . I give thanks for our time together - bittersweet as is life.
Down Hines?
My condolences, things like that change us forever. I live near Novi and I have so many memories with friends, some gone as well.
Thx for your thoughts kind stranger - I lived near Niles during school. Wish you all the best during these difficult times.
:(
I'm so sorry sir. My heart goes out to you. Remember the great times and cherish them forever!!
Being in my mid 40s now. This song hits
different.. I miss the 80s and 90s and the friends I had then.
Music is a constant, and you are beautiful.
Thank you
I'm 44 and feel the same
I saw this band live at Millersville University in Lancaster County Pa back in May 6, 1997. The entire crowd sang along, it was a mesmerizing experience. I just turned 67 years old and this song never gets old…unlike me.
Takes me back to middle school and high school. Remember sitting in my room trying to tape jams like this off the radio on a blank tape.
Hell yeahs. You had to put in real time to make a mixtape.
Same 🥲
Hell yeah, back when you had to earn a mixtape, and it took a few days to get the starts right.
Try telling a kid today that tapes had two sides and needed to be rewinded...
Same diff songs. That was what we did tho. Born in 80. Peace to the gen. 80's.. EVERYTHING DIFFERENT. YOU DONT HAVE A "GOOD 1" u fucked
Remember listening to this song during the cold mornings in high school waiting for my truck to warm up. Class of 1997
Whereas I was a Freshman in '97 😂 Class of 2000! Man, I miss those days sometimes. Mainly the music hahaha
Graduate of "97, Rock On!
97 myself
AK DEADLINE same!
class of 97 here too!
I wish I could go back to the 90,s we're the best
more a matter of age- circumstance and one's disposition. But I so hear you . Loved the music of the first 4 years and the last 2 myself. For me it was (Money , Music, and Hotches ) not nec. in that order.
I'd take the 70s over the 90s ... You had the magic of the Pink Floyds and the Jethro Tullzes and the Led Zeppelinzes .... There was really no time like the 70s ... no internet, yet you had these MASSIVE crowds hungering for hard rock. News traveled by snail mail and much slower media, yet somehow when The Who went on tour EVERYBODY seemed to find out and stadiums would overflow with a hundred thousand people.... But yeah... The 90s were sweetly special... I'll never forget those Smashing Pumpkins or Oasis ... the 90s were beautiful for sure!
I wish I could go back to 90's wages....
And none of the fear of AIDS.
AirrunCanall
you say mouthful!
I remembered my High School days while listening to this song😢
2 months before 2020, who still remember this song?
I remember it b/c i played this when i broke up with my 1st GF
I remember SO well. I was also in high school. Heard this song on my favorite radio station hundreds of times, growing to love it more each time. The surrounding memories of that time are strong here... I am now 35. Thank you for your post, Jeff G.
I don't care much to vote in any more elections since 2016. It's all a farce always was always will be!
junior year of high school
I still have it in rotation.
It’s sad reading these comments.. makes you realize how sad we all really are and how bad we want to go back in time. 😞
Not just the 90's crew, probably every generation before us.
We are so disconnected now it's killing those of us that remember how close we were in the 90s
@@Ralph_Sandwich I came of age in the early 90's. The friends I made in those first five years of the 90's...best memories of my life. Just buried one of my best friends from that age last week. Hadn't seen her in years. We've all grown so....distant.
@@TheGameCraftDragon this is by design.
The past is remembered as happier than it really was
Born in 82. Listened to this at least 100 times. A Piece of my youth in high school and my best friends go to at every party since i can remember.
Class of 2000!
the nineties man how I miss those times. life blows balls now. music wise. socially. psychologically. everything blows now
I couldn't agree more.
so true!!!
agree
+Kinjal Vyas thats probably how the kids of the 60s, 70s, 80s probably feel lol
+Kinjal Vyas I get nostalgic thinking about the 90s. Such a great period of my life.
An absolute honor to have come of age in the 90s. These songs bring me back.
I will never tire of this instantly haunting masterpiece. It played recently at the opening of a friends funeral. For the life of me I cannot remember what made us think that we were wise and we’d never compromise…chills.
condolences
Hits different now🙏
I'll be listening to this song for the next 40 years. Absolutely beautiful
the past is a postcard we didn’t know we sent ourselves. cherish it but don’t regret anything, we’re all meandering and doing the best we can. face today the way you’d want that next postcard to turn out. love this song
This Statement is Perfect.😔😔😔
In the 90’s we thought everything was gonna be like the 90’s.
So true
We could not have been more wrong.
wow. exactly right. I've never seen it expressed that way before, but that's spot on. We were very wrong.
Which is why the Matrix was redesigned to this, the peak of your civilization. I say your civilization because as soon as we started thinking for you it really became our civilization...
Agent Smith
Little did we know..
I feel like I took this era of music for granted while growing up. Never knew how Epic it was looking back.. Mid 40's now and everything new sounds like trash to me.. Always come on here and play songs from my youth, Thanks youtube!
We all did. I was a kid of the 80s and for 10 years we had incredible music across the entire spectrum. We thought it would never end. The 90s had some equally incredible music and this song perfectly captures that time of life free from high school and on the verge of adulthood where we couldn't wait to be. And now that we are all well passed that and middle aged, we want those pre-adult times back.
Perfectly said. It makes your heart ache and sing at the same time!
I had this song as a cassette single.. both sides had this wild song.. high school 1997
I turned 60 years young on June 10th I thought where did my life go??? I do take time to smell the roses and other flowers but the older I get the faster time seems to slip by time to slow down and Enjoy more ❤😊
I can listen to this song, and every time it brings me to tears. special
How when we're young, we fail to realize how are actions will affect our lives forever.
I turn 40 this month and man how this song takes me back! All the memories are flooding back. Back when technology hadn’t ruined everything when people actually interacted face to face not looking down on a phone or glued to Facebook. Im so grateful I came up in this time period. Like the song says we were merely freshman and we didn’t know how good we had it then! C/O 1999
As a graduate of 84 the song hits hard for so many reasons. Some reasons are best kept in the past.
for some reason there are just some songs that have a deep meaning for people that either take them back to a certain time or place, or make them think about someone....this is one of those songs.
were u only a freshman?
fucking A!
you said it! i wasn't in high school at the time, but when i hear this song it takes me back to an event for sure :p
one of my favorite songs from '97. back when vh1 played music
Katherina Thompson so true now it's crap
So right.. No one plays music videos anymore! Its all about drama and nothing about meaning
Pop up video too! 😁
Katherina Thompson Don't forget MTV too
When MTV actually played music!
Yeah, my fave song too. & I always preferred VH1 to MTV.
This song is incredible. So darkly beautiful.
This song still gives me chills
The excited anticipation I would get turning on MTV in 1996 is long gone. But thank you The Verve Pipe for being one of those bands/songs that I look back so fondly on.
I am a 57 year old and landed in the hospital at 37 with a brain injury. God granted me a wonderful wife and two beautiful kids. I’m grateful for every day.
How does this not have more views? This was such a 90's classic and so relateable to any college student in the 90's.
Rusty Shackleford Likely was originally posted by the recording label or something or with this being so old that it was first just posted by fans. Shows this was just posted on here just under 3 years ago.
Rusty Shackleford ya gotta remember, when we were young & this song came out, there was no RUclips... I know it seems like forever ago, but RUclips is not even 10 yrs old yet... this song & the memories it brings back will last long past the time RUclips disappears too.
Rusty Shackleford "so relatable to any college student in the '90s"? You mean, a lot of us experienced the suicide of a classmate that we felt guilty about?
Nice try Dale Gribble, I know it's you!
Rainy Jane
i did. it wasn't awesome :(
I just turned 37yrs old yesterday. Heard this song omw to work and made me happy and sad. Damn life goes by fast. Keep your heads up.
Happy early birthday. Hopefully this comment bring you back to this song and some great memories.
I haven’t heard this song in YEARS. The feels I’m getting right now are indescribable. Music is the greatest window to the past!
Wonder why they stopped making music like this...it’s so deep and meaningful :’(
