And I'd give up forever to touch you 'Cause I know that you feel me somehow You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be And I don't wanna go home right now And all I can taste is this moment And all I can breathe is your life When sooner or later it's over I just don't wanna miss you tonight And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming Or the moment of truth in your lies When everything feels like the movies Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am
that's the best time to listen to it. I love that part in City of Angels when Iris is playing and Nicholas Cage is walking through the rain to get to Meg Ryan.
This is my Alisha´s favorite song ever.... and, even if we are not together anymore... i will always remember her with this one!. A great song!... God bless you all and Goo Goo Dolls for this song!...
Iris Goo Goo Dolls And I'd give up forever to touch you 'Cause I know that you feel me somehow You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be And I don't wanna go home right now And all I can taste is this moment And all I can breathe is your life And sooner or later it's over I just don't wanna miss you tonight And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming Or the moment of truth in your lies When everything feels like the movies Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am
Í think it's more like: I'd rather be lonely and alone, than lonely in a crowd. Sometimes it makes you even more lonely when you're around people who don't understand you, than to be alone. And he's so broken, that he just want's to be alone, nobody understands him anyway. Great song.. so powerful.
i feel like the answer really is simple- the song is touching because it speaks of wanting to be understood, and finding that one person with whom you don't have to hide, and they will accept you for who you are. They will not laugh,scorn or mock and they will be your friend forever because they understand you...when the rest of the world doesn't
OMG, It just so superb.. Iris was the first song of Goo Goo Dolls which I heard and it made me their big fan in the first sight... And now this acoustic version. All people who listen to new weird music should try this... ;)
Actually, that's not correct at all. It wasn't released a year or two earlier. John said in an interview with Behind The Music that the song WAS written specifically for the movie. He was commissioned to write it. It's the song that ultimately helped him get over his writer's block.
I like this version and the CD version equally. It's very hard to choose one over the other. While CD version is much more layered and fleshed out, this version has a very sincere quality to it.
My brother Clinton Morgan Young was killed on December 28th 2010. A car hit him and knocked him 70 feet down off of a overpass highway bridge onto another highway. He was 18years old. He had just finished basic training for the US Army and was home on Christmas leave. He was to be deployed on the 3rd to Germany. I played this song at his wake... I miss him so much. He was my soul mate and now he's gone.
yes and no. this song was made for the movie city of angels and the guy is a angel that falls in love with a human doctor. "I just want you to know who I am", means that he wants her to be able to see him and feel him and know him. they wrote this song for that movie, so the song iris basically describes the whole movie
actually, it was made specifically for the movie City of Angels. there's a video on youtube where John is asked about how he ended up writing the song. and he says himself that his manager came to him and said that the producers of the movie invited him to a private screening before it had come out so that he could write a song for it. look it up here on youtube, search: GGD, Iris, and MTV. if he hadnt seen the movie or been asked to write a song for it, this song wouldve never been created
i just realized through this video, the chorus of this song would fit well into the idea of there being a god, from god's point of view. "and i don't want the world to see me" no one has ever seen the real image of god. "when everything's made to be broken, i just want u to know who i am" when things get tough, don't think he's not there to watch over you. he wants you to know he's there.
did you use the acoustic version like this? or did you use the other Goo Goo doll album version? sometimes you can get away with it if you use the acoustic versions rather than the originals. x
@chuckawobbly I am so sorry for your loss Only 17? That is a very great loss..but . I understand- May the higher power protect his soul, and ease the pain of all his loved ones and friends. May you always remember him in a song, a feeling that he is near, and guardian angel forever....
the greatest song ever written
This song recorded acoustic style feels more emotional and personal... I love it...
So much more raw emotion than the album version. Thanks for sharing.
And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't wanna go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
When sooner or later it's over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
Almost 2021 and this is still amazing.

Of course it made me cry ;p
This song is mystically soul moving in a gentle and dark kind of way!!! Almost hipnotic!!!
that's the best time to listen to it. I love that part in City of Angels when Iris is playing and Nicholas Cage is walking through the rain to get to Meg Ryan.

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be

The pics of the angels are very cool. I love the song, and the angel pics make it!!!
Me too! I always heared this but never knew which band it was..
Great to hear this Now
Í think it's more like: I'd rather be lonely and alone, than lonely in a crowd. Sometimes it makes you even more lonely when you're around people who don't understand you, than to be alone.
And he's so broken, that he just want's to be alone, nobody understands him anyway. Great song.. so powerful.
Essa música é muito profunda demais!!!

I like this version and the CD version equally. It's very hard to choose one over the other. While CD version is much more layered and fleshed out, this version has a very sincere quality to it.

"I just want you to know who I am", means that he wants her to be able to see him and feel him and know him. they wrote this song for that movie, so the song iris basically describes the whole movie
if i had a decent voice to sing this i would sing it to my wife when i get married.I bet shed love it and it would make a nice memory. great song.
Love it !
Ok, so I see the sad looking angel and the line "I'd give up forever to touch you." Now I can't help but imagine weeping angels singing this song. XD
Same here lol, and it's not even that long ..now there's nothing like this anymore, i agree
those were the days
high contender for my wedding song beautiful x
This version is so rare..
Beautiful
actually, it was made specifically for the movie City of Angels. there's a video on youtube where John is asked about how he ended up writing the song. and he says himself that his manager came to him and said that the producers of the movie invited him to a private screening before it had come out so that he could write a song for it. look it up here on youtube, search: GGD, Iris, and MTV. if he hadnt seen the movie or been asked to write a song for it, this song wouldve never been created
Where perfection is, there too is reality.
yea
very nice job ... good for you ! and the song? oh I 'm crying right now ..
i just realized through this video, the chorus of this song would fit well into the idea of there being a god, from god's point of view. "and i don't want the world to see me" no one has ever seen the real image of god. "when everything's made to be broken, i just want u to know who i am" when things get tough, don't think he's not there to watch over you. he wants you to know he's there.
Very well-done
Finally found this version!
I love that point of view.
it's beautiful...
did you use the acoustic version like this? or did you use the other Goo Goo doll album version? sometimes you can get away with it if you use the acoustic versions rather than the originals. x
Greatt
amazing!
so beautful
great song!
Can anybody tell me where I can find the accords for this accoustic version?? Pleaseeee :D
I just want to learn this! Sounds really good
old but gold :)
This song is so soo Sooo beautiful that its making cry
@chuckawobbly I am so sorry for your loss Only 17? That is a very great loss..but
. I understand- May the higher power protect his soul, and ease the pain of all his loved ones and friends. May you always remember him in a song, a feeling that he is near, and guardian angel forever....
I believe this version is the bonus track on the Japanese version of the album Dizzy Up The Girl.
