LanceMarshall420 Advertisements are how RUclips makes money. The ads are esentially paying RUclips and keeping it alive. Without ads, the only other way to make a profit would be for RUclips to charge people to watch videos.

One of the best qualities in a musician is the ability to take four simple guitar chords and turn them into an unforgettable melody. This is an amazing song :)
Ahhhhh memories. Hard to believe it's been 17 years since this came out. Never forget being a young feller, working in Fort Mac and watching Sam Roberts kick ass at Mac Island. Great show.
Are they really canadian my dude? I know this is three years later and you may be dead for all I know but I'd like to hear what you know if you get this haha
wow.... this is so nostalgic. first discovered this song on a music video disc that came with my ps2 when I was a child. revisiting this music video as a 27 y/o adult hits hard!
Thanks to artists like this, Canadian music is just as great as it ever was! We truly have some of the best in the world. Thanks Sam.....keep it coming!
Driving around Lake Crescent in Washington, listening to a Victoria radio station and this song comes on - it has since become one of my favorites - not gonna forget it any time soon!
Sam ( excuse the presumptive greeting ) , congratulations on the induction to the Canadian Song Writers Hall of Fame , it is a truly well deserved recognition to you & the band. I own this album/ cd and will forever cherish it. The millennium was a time of anticipation and change, and your music was a major part of the awesome songs that Canadian artists were producing at that time.

Heard this on the radio and had to go find it and jammed all the way home to this on repeat...just one of those songs you dance in the car seat at the red light to
That would be all of us who appreciate good music with a message behind it. Pay attention people. Our world is crashinddown upon us. Mother nature is PISSED. Get with the program.
Saw this guy 4X. 3 times in North Carolina and Washington DC. I only heard him playing in Ottawa from a distance at Bluefest. They havent been back to NC in a while. Favorite band in recent years. This song never gets old.
listened to sam roberts for a long time, never the biggest fan. saw him live at bluesfest in passing, stayed for the rest of his set. went to osheage in montreal and watched his full set. SAM ROBERTS BAND IS AMAZING. they sound the same live as on record and you can tell sam roberts gives it everything hes got. 10/10 any one reading this gets the chance to see SAM ROBERTS BAND LIVE. do it. i promise you wont regret it !!!!!
This song represents the true meaning of life; to get through it untarnished, one must endure every arrow and stone put down your path, for the only prize at the end is your uncorrupted soul.
ottawa valley here born and raised always looked forward to hearing you guys mellow and level out with one another itd be nice to have yeas all back here again!
I love this song. I remember listening to this in the rain in my mother's car. My mother showed me a book on Albert Einstein's childhood and formative years. She told me that Albert had been kicked out of various schools because they deemed him mentally disabled or retarded. The same thing happened to me more or less. Eventually, Albert became the most valuable physicist in the world. Long story short, my mother was trying to inspire me to work hard and gain a good education. Today, I'm well on my way to being highly educated in the computer science field. I'm headed to university, and I've had a voracious appetite for fiction (I want to be a writer). This comes at a time where kids my age used to make fun of me and bully me, adults discouraged me and nearly broke my spirit, and now, I'm still standing thanks to my mother and Albert Einstein. Whenever I hear this song, I remember what my mother told me, and I feel proud of myself.
why does montreal have the greatest canadian bands around.the planet smashers,sam roberts, the dears,wolf parade, arcade fire,the box, april wine,men without hats,i could go on ,but i mean this city's music scene is as good as it gets
Great tune! Also love the video. Guessing this is somewhere along the coast in Canada? This is such a classic though. I remember hearing it on the radio all the time growing up.
My girlfriend got me tickets to see you this June 25th at the BOBCAYGEON Sam. I think your songs stand for what a Canadian should be singing about. I was the first of my family to listen to you. Now that I'm 24 I won't ever stop man. Im hoping you can do "Brother Down" this June as it would be the best song choice over the Trews and The Hip. I'm Joseph Drane and I'm Proud that we have you as our Canadian Artist. P.s Don't forget to Bring the Bongos. :D
I remember working as a care aide and listening to this. My radio. I'm throwing my client in the car and driving around for miles ..going for coffee 15 miles away, haha 😂😂😂 She was a sweetheart 💕 ❤️ ♥️ 💖 altimeizer
I've been a huge Sam Roberts fan since this album came out --- now he's got 4 LPs and they're all great. I went out to see them in concert last night (Vienna, VA, near DC) and there were only about 50 people there. I was shocked! How are they not famous as hell??
I remember when i was 8, i used to be really scared of water and i used to always listen to this song and watch the video. i was scared of the video but loved the song hahaha. I completely forgot about it until a few days ago i heard it on the radio. im now 16 and its crazy how i still remember how i felt listning to this song 8 years ago.
@@Krysten55 Probably even more so, I liked this song when I was like under 10 years old as my grandma bought me this CD (lol).. listening to it in your mid twenties is a whole other meaning
Man, his song brings me back to good times,. I can almost feel the night with my ex when we went to see them, man lifes a ride. One second you feel like you're riding high then it just slowly turns to reminiscence
The past is just a memory, the future is just imagination. We can live in only one place - this moment. Be aware of that point and really begin living.
I loved this song since it came out when I was a younger teen and it spoke to me then, now I’m 33 and this song still resonates with me. Kinda scary but also shows I’m still on my journey.

One of those songs I get to come back and feel the impact of as an adult. I loved how it sounded being young, I love the message as an adult.
Another great Canadian band with original sound.. Still love these songs as much as the first day I heard them.
Are they really canadian my dude? I know this is three years later and you may be dead for all I know but I'd like to hear what you know if you get this haha

"I think my life is passing me by" hits way different 6 months from graduation, walking around campus at 3am, tripping on mushrooms
This song always randomly every 6 months or so pops into my head lol
I totally agree .. I was just backing my car out of the driveway, this was on ... forgot what a great song it is. Not super crazy about the video.
me too
Your 6 months are up.
I would take it as a good reminder to not let life pass you bye by being still and soaking it in if you can.
its the "Wake up every morning and there's nothing there, no reason to die but no reason to care" for me
This song has stuck with me since 2003.. It was what I needed at the time, too. It'll always be in my library.

2024- what a great song and amazing video.
Been so long since I've seen this video. I think the last time I saw this. Much music in Canada was still playing music and music videos
He was great when he first came on the scene and he's still great. Those guys are one of the most consistently great bands going.
Thanks to artists like this, Canadian music is just as great as it ever was! We truly have some of the best in the world. Thanks Sam.....keep it coming!
20 years on and this song is still relevant

lol from vic too used tgo always hear this band. the zone?

Why? This is an amazing song.
I feel robbed.
So this wasn't popular in the US?
@@JLvatronno it’s literally blocked in like 40 states
I'm in the states and i heard it for many years
Sounds a lot like a 70s McCartney song. That's all high praise, it's great.

Dmn straight
Brings me back to hearing this in the summer of 2003 as a kid!
One life to live but we're doing it wrong
You see, got my brother down cause it's nothing to me
Everyone's saying that it's wrong to cheat
But there's no other way to get my life on easy street
Someone else telling you what you're living for
Been knocking you down, now you're looking for more
The only sound you hear is a closing door
Been looking for peace but they're bringing you war
Rich man's crying cause his money's time
And poor man's smiling cause he knows he ain't blind
There's a man over there says he's tougher than me
But I got eyes that can see through fantasy
I think my life is passing me by
I think my life is passing me by
Take it all back cause it don't mean nothing
If you give it away and you're looking for something back
Wake up every morning when there's nothing there
No reason to die but no reason to care
Someone else telling you what you're living for
Been knocking you down now you're looking for more
The only sound you hear is a closing door
Been looking for peace but they're bringing you war
One life to live but we're doing it wrong
You see, got my brother down cause it's nothing to me
Rich man's crying cause his money's time
Poor man's smiling cause he knows he ain't blind
I think my life is passing me by
I think my life is passing me by

+Guy Incognito this didn't come out 6 years ago , 13 years ago
Shayne sharpe yes you're right
That’s exactly why I love this song takes me back ! I also remember the red hot chilli peppers on much music a lot
This song, as well as Don't Walk Away Eileen, were both featured on the great short-lived animated MTV show Undergrads.
This song is soo country, and calming to make you feel content, even though it’s about passing you by.
They will be at Niagara falls Canada for new year eve 2017 and it will be free outside concert. You heard this from me now. See you there!!
yaya2006 I wish o could go! Sam Roberts is my favorite Canadian band!

its sad to see that one of the best indie rock bands ive ever heard is not selling out worldwide. these guys are fucking awesome. rock on
this is my childhood right here , I remember listening to this in grade school all the time.
A great Canadian Band with a Truly Original Sound❣️❣️Look forward to many more Great Songs💗

Ive listened to this song many times to realize for sure that at the end it says "one eyed prophecy ".
That's what I think too!!!
Thank God for radios. It is the best way for young millennials like me to discover great music like this.
This version is way better than the demo on the studio album. Thank god for big shiny tunes 7

Really cool song! I hope everyone finds the time to read through and understand the lyrics.
How does this song NOT have 1 million views yet? What is wrong with society?

Got their brother down and it's nothing to them.
