You have great taste! I listen to everything as well. 38 (eek) year old white woman and I really have no limit to what I like. Screw the people who think I listen to weird genres for my age. Music is limitless. Sheryl's voice is clear yet raspy, soulful yet Americana and country yet rock. She's the PERFECT artist for those of us who listen to lots of different genres of music. :)
When this song was a hit, I was a jobless teenager who just left school daydreaming everyday about where in the world life was going to take me. I look at planes in the sky and question myself if there ever will be a day when I escape the poverty and the hard times. Today I live comfortably after working 23 years. It’s amazing how music takes you back to a specific point in your life.
This song reminds me of a specific 90s feeling --- like being in a coastal town in 1998, in a junky car, waiting for traffic to pass, lots of tourists around but youre a cool local, hair blowing with windows down, on your way home stop at a gas station for cigs and a yoohoo, back to your apartment to get ready to meet some friends at a local beach bar, putting your favorite lip gloss on, and then smoking a cig on the porch watching the pastel sky shimmer all around you
I’ve been on a Sheryl Crow lately, she is flawless, gorgeous, inspirational and talented. She is one that definitely deserved getting out in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame.
I first heard this song as a kid in the ‘90s. Listening to it now really hits different now that I’m 35 and have experienced my fair share of heartbreaks. If I had a chance to go back in time and forever stay in the ‘90s, I would. I miss this kind of music when artists sang about real emotions. It’s a shame that music isn’t like this anymore.
The 70s did truly rock, revolutionary, no one would argue that. But the 90s took rock to another level. Another new direction. And this beautiful 😍 rocker was truly unique in sound and lyrical poetry.
@@lynettadaniels9152 I love it! Same here 60s too. I'm so glad I grew up when I did. Amazing music, times, OMG concerts!!! We splurged in 73 to see Led Zeppelin, tickets were $20 if memory serves. One of the best was J Geils last minute decision paid $3 for tickets full tilt boogie for almost 3 hours. We may be hitting our 70s but the heart of our 20s still beats strong.
I've had the same experience. Loving music as a teenager and having no idea of what it was about until years later. Proof that my parents had nothing to worry about.
Way better than she was given credit for? You make it sound like she hasn't sold millions of records, won a shitload of awards, gotten great reviews, or sold out countless concerts. Give your head a shake, coolguy
@@chiefscheider I think what he meant was that she's not very talked about currently. Then again you don't here much about anyone from the 90s anymore.
Tell me I’m not the only one that never realized how beautiful Sheryl Crow is until now after having watched this video for the first time in 20 years...
Back in 98 (I was 19) when this would come on the radio, in stores, etc. I'd always say "it's my song!" and I heard it the other day in a store and couldn't help but smile. Time flies!
I'm 31 was 8 that year but man me and my dad listen to this music so hard. It's a bond that can't be broken. Now we drink and listen to 90s...man. I miss the 90s time flies so damn fast
This song is so amazing. My favorite part has always been the beautiful melody of the outro when she sings: "Did you know, could you tell You were the only one That I ever loved Now everything's so wrong Did you see me walking by? Did it ever make you cry? You're my favorite mistake You're my favorite mistake You're my favorite mistake"
Let's sound like a boomer, but ... 90's were the last decade when there was that much detail in pop/rock song arrangement. Starting with the cool slide into the opening guitar lick, no wall of sound at all, subtle guitar/organ parts all over the place, and finally her vocal performance. I don't want to start a discussion about her voice but here, she really sells the emotions of such a breakup and it's a rollercoaster ride like your feelings are during such a phase. My favourite parts are the "It's 6 AM..." one with that grit on her voice and indeed the mentioned outro part, too.
The lyrics are poetry and I think everyone can relate to that one relationship that was messed up at least on one level. I personally think that makes for a great song.
Your my favorite mistake..Did you see me walking by?? Did it ever make you cry??? Who's still rocking 2020?!?. The hook/chorus is beautiful .... Sheryl crow is beautiful ❤🧡
Sheryl Crow - the full package - beautiful, incredibly talented: singer/songwriter, musician, record producer, actress, activist. She plays guitar, bass and keyboards....
Genuinely one of the best songs of the 90's, from one of the best American artists of the 90's. I hadn't heard this for a while but immediately was taken back to my teenage years.
I woke up and called this morning, The tone of your voice was a warning That you don't care for me anymore. I made up the bed we sleep in. I looked at the clock when you creep in. It's 6 AM and I'm alone. Did you know when you go it's the perfect ending, To the bad day I was just beginning. When you go, all I know is you're my favorite mistake. Your friends are sorry for me. They watch you pretend to adore me. But I am no fool to this game. Now here comes your secret lover, She'll be unlike any other, Until your guilt goes up in flames. Did you know when you go it's the perfect ending, To the bad day I'd gotten used to spending. When you go, all I know is you're my favorite mistake You're my favorite mistake. Well maybe nothing lasts forever, Even when you stay together. I don't need forever after, but it's your laughter won't let me go So I'm holding on this way. Did you know could you tell you were the only one That I ever loved? Now everything's so wrong. Did you see me walking by, did it ever make you cry? Now you're my favorite mistake Yeah you're my favorite mistake You're my favorite mistake
I'm 33 and have loved this song for 20 years now... and I swear every few years when I hear it again I hear an entirely different version of the same story because of my own life experiences. Her lyrics are so excellent.
it gets better and more sophisticated every time. this is not some simple dumb ass bs rock/pop song people, this is rock and roll history, a piece of the best there ever was and we're lucky to be here to hear it. thank you sheryl crow. it's gift that keeps on giving. i can't say enough.
I appreciate the music when I first heard it as a child. It was when I was older when I paid attention to the lyrics. It hits differently, especially, when you're going through it. I'll always miss my favorite mistake.
I really like Sheryl Crow, and this is by far my favorite thing that she's ever recorded. It rocks with a great Keith Richards' style rhythm guitar playing, it has a certain funky approach with attitude, playfulness, and sex appeal up the wazoo (at least speaking personally). And, on top of all that, the song's lyrics capture what's it's like to feel trapped inside the strong pull of someone despite knowing full well that they're tearing you down.
I love her composition. It's like a beautifully winding road. You don't know where you're going or where you'll end up, but it's bound to be beautiful.
My favorite song of hers. I don't care what age or gender you are. It applies.You will never forget your Favorite Mistake. Hopefully, they haven't forgotten you.But they'll still be your favorite.
What a beautiful song. One of the best pop tunes of the 90s. So evocative, gorgeous melody, great lyrics. I haven't heard this in a while, and it's even better than I remembered.
That 3- note riff is so perfect. Captures 1998-1999 so perfectly for me. Not sure if Sheryl or Jeff Trott wrote that riff, but it is so emblematic of that time frame...just perfect.
Musical Masterpiece, about a love that was toxic and she wanted to stay with him. She got lessons learned. He taught her what she doesn't want from a man,cause she learned her lesson. She was so in love that is why it's her favorite mistake, cause she really didn't want to let him go but she had too.
What a mind blowing way to start an album! The musicality on this album is so stratospherically high. She did her best work producing herself. Too bad she doesn’t do that anymore.
Perfection. Lyrically, musically, and psychologically. She understands the human heart. Just a masterpiece. And, I just learned, this is her favorite song to play live. That said, she's written a dozen gems. I mad in love with her.
Still listening to this in '23. Found myself singing parts of it randomly throughout my day! Lol. Sheryl Crow is what I grew up listening to with my mom. Childhood memories right here! Her music is so simple.
listened to this for the first time in a number of years on my way to the mall to shop today... caught myself singing along in my car... this never gets old for those with a broken heart..makes me wanna sit in the corner with my guitar and strum a few notes and cry a few tears
A musical genius. I was about to go to a Beatle song. Then Sheryl Crow added this. Sheryl Crow is an outstanding musician that ranks with the very best!
I legit use this as a reference track in every new space I mix in. Such a perfectly produced piece. If you haven't already I encourage you to listen closely to the secondary guitar tracks, the tambourine, and that beautiful organ.
If you get the chance to see her LIVE, GO! She is BRILLIANT! I hope she sees this! She played tons of instruments in 97 at the Blossom Music Centre! She was FABULOOOUS! WOW That voice!
So many jump to All I Wanna Do when they think of Sheryl Crow but this is her finest moment by far. Just magnificent and clearly an emotional song for her. Only she knows who it is actually about and if it really is Eric Clapton.
I was 24 when this came out. One of my all time favorite songs. Love the album and love Sheryl (as an artist). This song stirred emotions then, can still stir them now even though I’m happily married .
Me too mate , have always been a fan of her material since the first time I've seen/heard anything from her, vividly remember the tv show top of the pops (uk) Thursday night, 7pm, she's appeared on tv doing 'all i wanna do', circa 93/4, instantly impressed with what I'd been treated to, ever since I've maintained my opinion of all she has produced is total authenticity and from a talented musician who loves her work and has respect for the sounds before her and continues doing her own thing without cheating and following fads/trends , she's always been the real deal and an absolute class act also, love her.

I remember hearing this song in late 1998, was 16 years old, junior in high school. Sirius XM on their 90s channel today is having countdown of top 30 songs this week 12/17 of 1998, this song was number 17.
Can’t never get tired listening to this song, Sheryl is perfect. if it’s not her vocals, it’s the instruments, and then there’s the amazing lyrics and meaning behind it... puts life in perspective for me.
I love the wave of emotion on her face in the very last close up. She sings the words "You're my favorite Mistake" with a smile. Then it's like she thinks about the pain of that mistake and immediately stops the smile and frowns.. 3:50 - 4:00
They dont make music videos like before. The lighting,the shades,the colors, and the close ups. I think they wanted you to visualize it as a dream or a memory!! And soo many scenes could be stills (photos). I thought it was perfect!!
When I was a kid and Mom and I were on a trip one time driving we had this CD blasting on repeat the whole way, for whatever reason as a curious kid I was asking questions about where kids come from and being planned and what not. Then my Mom explained that I was a surprise but the best surprise ever, and in the most innocent way I was her “Favourite Mistake”. Forever more that was our song! I love you Ma ❤️
Yes agreed . An for some reason I can't get enough of this song sence I heard it come on the radio other day . I totally forgot about this music or songs from her
My favorite Sheryl Crow song
Mine too.
Yeah same but I like If it makes you happy as well.
A lot of people don't know that Wendy Melvoin played the guitar parts on this song. Stellar stuff.
Just about perfect
I was singing this at work randomly and I was like yea I'm a 31 year black man who really digs Sheryl Crow and I'm okay with that :)
you aint the only one brotha! i'm 30. very okay wit it!
You have great taste! I listen to everything as well. 38 (eek) year old white woman and I really have no limit to what I like. Screw the people who think I listen to weird genres for my age. Music is limitless. Sheryl's voice is clear yet raspy, soulful yet Americana and country yet rock. She's the PERFECT artist for those of us who listen to lots of different genres of music. :)
QUITE!! glad you said that $3 because I absolutely know I only want to know people who love this song!!
sunshinenblues i have two of this cd lol...
wow. 1 for home and another for work?
That guitar riff in the beginning is fire👌
Recorded by Wendy Melvoin from Prince’s band, ironically enough.
And Good Times Roll-Cars sample🤙🤙
Wendy Melvoin's guitar(s) make this piece.
The "riff" at the end equal to it imo
wendy melvoin who played for prince.
To me Sheryl is the finest female singer ever.
One of the Best, absolutely.
And her song writing is off the charts. She's a special person.
Timeless classics
tied w/ a few others (Carole King, Benatar, Stevie Nicks, Ann Wilson from HEART)
Yes she is very attractive and looks very desireable but you should be a gentleman and focus on the quality of her voice
This song still hits as hard in my mid 40's as it did in my teenage years.
True
YUUUP!!!❤❤❤😊
hits harder
harder then my dads belt
If you are in your mid 40s, then you were in your late 20s when this song came out. It has not been 30+ years since 2004
When this song was a hit, I was a jobless teenager who just left school daydreaming everyday about where in the world life was going to take me. I look at planes in the sky and question myself if there ever will be a day when I escape the poverty and the hard times. Today I live comfortably after working 23 years. It’s amazing how music takes you back to a specific point in your life.
Congratulations and keep dreaming. I'm glad you made it.
you sound like a really good highschool friend of mine. that would be awesome if you were
Music has a big impact is my belief. I'm happy for you!
Good for you! You did good! 😊
"maybe nothing lasts forever, even when you stay together..."
True

Stay golden, Pony Boy ❤
We don't talk enough about how this was secretly the best song of the 90s
Well, tied with The Only One by Melissa Etheridge
Yeah no…
not a chance, ever.
Shhh
Ssshhhhh 🤫 you talk too much.
Man how I miss the 90s…even this particular genre was a whole lot better then than now…sadly enough…they don’t make like this anymore.😢😢😢
90’s music was definitely better than the crap they call music theses days. No auto tune or the the word ho every five seconds
@@tiffanytrippeer5401 Word!!!
It's hurtful.
They still have alternative music. It was just more popular then. I do see some new alternative bands music being played on the pop stations.
Women artists in the 90s 🌟💜🌟💜🌟
Sheryl deserved a Grammy for this song, i can't seem to get enough of.
I've been hooked on it since it was released 😅😅😅 it's like heroin or something. My all time favorite ❤❤
Actually she won best rock album. This song was the first track on that album.
Agree
Me either!❤

I'm just turning 60 and still love this music and" if it makes you happy 😄
Me too!
damn shame indeed
Truth, bro.
I'm watching this today, we are the same age. I was just thinking the same thing...
One of the greatest guitar riffs of all time…no joke.
Such an amazing song…in happier times…
That guitar riff is Wendy Melvoin from Prince & The Revolution, She wrote/played the guitar part for Purple Rain too!
@@thedoodl38ug
Yep.
Great gear rundown.
ruclips.net/video/8F_IX4b85y8/видео.html
@@thedoodl38ug Looks like you just learned it (like me!) from Wendy's Vertex Effects video. was a huge surprise for me too.
I’ve been searching for the guitarist for many years. It can also be found on Wikipedia but I didn’t know the name!
@@realdocloco in this video it seemed like she used the neck pickup for the demo?! But on the record I always assumed it was the bridge.
Still here in 2024 🎉 who else is? 😊
I was “here for it” in the 1990s, and STILL here for it!
Hell ya. This is one of the best songs in rock n roll. 💯❤💥
Yes! This song was in my head when I woke up this morning and when I got home tonight! A treasure!
Right With You!!!
me
It's one of those songs that you don't get bored of replaying over and over again.
Oh wow yes, you couldn't be more right. And I couldn't agree more. 🖖 Live Long And Prosper ⭐🌟🌠
Agreed!!
😝💯
If you turned the down chords to up chords, its literally No Doubt.
Cool jam
This lady has a incredible way of expressing the feelings involved with misadventure.. Who dosent love sheryl ☘️
Thanks
Did you see me walking by? Did it ever made you cry? ... oh boy
Limousine Liberal
I listen to songs of hers and swear she's been inside my head and heart , love her music so much Lifetimes
The world needs more of this music! The 90's rocked, Sheryl rocks.
You think the 90's rocked? The 70's ROCKED, ROLLED and should return, Heck I am just a couple of years from 70...Lol
The 70s did truly rock, revolutionary, no one would argue that. But the 90s took rock to another level. Another new direction. And this beautiful 😍 rocker was truly unique in sound and lyrical poetry.

I'm finally old enough to understand the stuff she sings about, her songs are so good lol I see how she's a platinum selling artist now
A narcissist is one of who she sings abt
This reminds me ENTIRELY ...word for word! I even made the bed! His friends felt sorry for me! Ugh age-old-gay-story
@@JustJason1977I had the feeling she was gay.
I'm too old to remember what she's singing about.
I've had the same experience. Loving music as a teenager and having no idea of what it was about until years later. Proof that my parents had nothing to worry about.
I'm sure she's sometimes here after a bad day reading the comment section and smiling. 🐎❤️
She's the best
I really hope so.
I'm working on that time machine, guys. I will get us all back home.
@Blue gloves great song please check out Sheryl Crow - Sheryl Crow Album Review on my channel

Find that thing lol....i miss those years
Hurry it up Doc brown!
One of the timeless classics of Sheryl Crow.
This woman has had my heart for years. Way better than she was given credit for.
Way better than she was given credit for? You make it sound like she hasn't sold millions of records, won a shitload of awards, gotten great reviews, or sold out countless concerts. Give your head a shake, coolguy
Had the pleasure of meeting her a couple times and she’s lovely and very normal
@@chiefscheider I think what he meant was that she's not very talked about currently. Then again you don't here much about anyone from the 90s anymore.
@Albert Mojica,Jr. agreed. Unlike most female singers, she actually writes and composes her own music. Mad props to her. Very talented. 👏
Just u jelus
I was singing this at work randomly and I was like yea I’m a 41 year old asian man who digs Sheryl Crow and I’m okay with that :)
Hey, bro, i,m living near Moskow,,(and was born) and i remember Sheryl of course!!!
You're amazing! Keep rocking on and being confident!
nice!
Music has no boundaries! :)
Australian , 43 mummy ❤ ... welcome.
Please protect against bad guys. Xxxxxx
I know I can’t be the only 70 year old who absolutely loves this amazing woman’s work!
you were only 48 when she sang this song.
In 4 short years you won't be! 66 digging it most
IDK but I've loved her for years❤ keep rockn
60 and digging it
It’s fire
Tell me I’m not the only one that never realized how beautiful Sheryl Crow is until now after having watched this video for the first time in 20 years...
All I have to say thanks to Eric Clapton messing up his relationship with this beautiful lady we got this amazing classic song
I use to crush on her in high school. Always loved her charisma.
You're definitely not the only one, mate 😬
I think you might be the only one, lol. 🌸
She's always been Gorgeous!!

Was 17 in 1997 riding my bike around the neighborhood in north jersey with this song playing in my head
Having a Sheryl resurgence at the beginning of 2025! Yes please!
This for me is the best song from Sheryl Crow..will never get tired of listening to this 💗
Totally agree. Her best song to me.
Love Sheryl and she looks really cool on the video
I agree too. I love that riff, almost sounds like it’s played backwards- in a good way.
Yep. Agree
I agree.
This song is unreal 🔥🔥🔥
This whole song is fire. It gets better as the song goes on. Really hard to pull off. Even in simplicity.
This song is so amazing. My favorite part has always been the beautiful melody of the outro when she sings: "Did you know, could you tell
You were the only one
That I ever loved
Now everything's so wrong
Did you see me walking by?
Did it ever make you cry?
You're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake"
I love that part as well along with that addicting guitar riff throughout the song that’s played in the intro
Love that bit, always have.

We had some authentic and eclectic musicians in the 90s. Sheryl is without a doubt one of them.
The lyrics are poetry and I think everyone can relate to that one relationship that was messed up at least on one level. I personally think that makes for a great song.
I have one, it’s hard for me to listen to the ending.
@@whitesands928 I can imagine it's tough, the line " I watch you pretend to adore me" gets me every time. 💔
This song reminds me of my past relationship with drugs and alcohol
The crystal clear vocals kill me.
I dunno
Find the lyrics very depressing and almost bitter and angry.
Wouldn’t call it poetry.
Your my favorite mistake..Did you see me walking by?? Did it ever make you cry???
Who's still rocking 2020?!?. The hook/chorus is beautiful .... Sheryl crow is beautiful ❤🧡
Magnificent creature
Yes! "Did you see me walking by? Did it ever make you cry?"
*YOU'RE
Sheryl Crow - the full package - beautiful, incredibly talented: singer/songwriter, musician, record producer, actress, activist. She plays guitar, bass and keyboards....
Me gusto este tema
Plus she also plays the accordion, which is amazing
Yes! She was a school teacher too Lorraine...
she's the readl deal
This song was about her relationship w/ Eric Clapton and she was his backup singer before she got a record deal . She's great !
thank you Goodwill for playing this song while i was there. ive forgotten how amazing this song is
Heard this gem in the grocery store yesterday and had to revisit...that bridge to the end is just best. They don't write them like this anymore.
Yeah that bridge is the best.
The 90's wasn't a decade it was an emotion! 💞👌😊👍
This song got me through a really tough break up. ❤️ thank you Sheryl for capturing all of our favorite mistakes
Genuinely one of the best songs of the 90's, from one of the best American artists of the 90's. I hadn't heard this for a while but immediately was taken back to my teenage years.
I woke up and called this morning,
The tone of your voice was a warning
That you don't care for me anymore.
I made up the bed we sleep in.
I looked at the clock when you creep in.
It's 6 AM and I'm alone.
Did you know when you go it's the perfect ending,
To the bad day I was just beginning.
When you go, all I know is you're my favorite mistake.
Your friends are sorry for me.
They watch you pretend to adore me.
But I am no fool to this game.
Now here comes your secret lover,
She'll be unlike any other,
Until your guilt goes up in flames.
Did you know when you go it's the perfect ending,
To the bad day I'd gotten used to spending.
When you go, all I know is you're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake.
Well maybe nothing lasts forever,
Even when you stay together.
I don't need forever after, but it's your laughter won't let me go
So I'm holding on this way.
Did you know could you tell you were the only one
That I ever loved?
Now everything's so wrong.
Did you see me walking by, did it ever make you cry?
Now you're my favorite mistake
Yeah you're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake
Thank you SOOOOO much for sharing the lirics
Thanks
@erc I could never work out what the first line was, I thought I was hearing something like "woke up in cot" or "with God"; rather confusing :)
I'm 33 and have loved this song for 20 years now... and I swear every few years when I hear it again I hear an entirely different version of the same story because of my own life experiences. Her lyrics are so excellent.
great song please check out Sheryl Crow - Sheryl Crow Album Review on my channel

never ever!!!

Me too. My mistake was so bad I can't talk about it to anyone but my friends
You are not alone, it's a big club (and I'm in it).
This is one of my favorite songs from Sheryl Crow. Definitely I recommend listen to this song after an awful breakup.
The whole album is good for that too.
Eric Clapton x
I guess we've all experienced someone, like that.😢
I have had 4 favorite mistakes both men and women.
I really like Sheryl Crow, and this is by far my favorite thing that she's ever recorded.
It rocks with a great Keith Richards' style rhythm guitar playing, it has a certain funky approach with attitude, playfulness, and sex appeal up the wazoo (at least speaking personally).
And, on top of all that, the song's lyrics capture what's it's like to feel trapped inside the strong pull of someone despite knowing full well that they're tearing you down.
... and it's Wendy Melvoin (The Revolution) playing that riff!
she isn't appreciated enough. song writing genius. legend
Sheryl is gorgeous. I've adored her music since I was a kid.
I loved her music since I was an adult. Go figure.
Yes she is a gifted gorgeous, talented singer songwriter producer actress award winner , the list could go on with that girl
Sheryl was one of the most sexiest, and beautiful women of the 90's. This song, and her voice every time...perfection!
I love her composition. It's like a beautifully winding road. You don't know where you're going or where you'll end up, but it's bound to be beautiful.
She has a song "Every day is a winding road"
I like how you phrased that.
My favorite song of hers. I don't care what age or gender you are. It applies.You will never forget your Favorite Mistake. Hopefully, they haven't forgotten you.But they'll still be your favorite.
2:30 The bridge, solo and outro are greatness.
Hey swifteys, now this is musicial talent.
Keep that hater shit out
Exactly
Same pop different era
🙏 amen
That's like comparing Diamonds to SEWAGE man, altho the braindead losers will NEVER know the difference!!
What a beautiful song. One of the best pop tunes of the 90s. So evocative, gorgeous melody, great lyrics. I haven't heard this in a while, and it's even better than I remembered.
This song never gets a old 💚 I remember my mom singing while cutting hair at her beauty shop when I was a kid brings back good memories ☺️
The tune of the video & look, her hair outfits everything is so visionary stunning 🤩
Like a old time postcard with a little color.
Amazing 🥲
Truer words.....
I am 48 live in the UK & remember this wonderful song!
That 3- note riff is so perfect. Captures 1998-1999 so perfectly for me. Not sure if Sheryl or Jeff Trott wrote that riff, but it is so emblematic of that time frame...just perfect.
Musical Masterpiece, about a love that was toxic and she wanted to stay with him. She got lessons learned. He taught her what she doesn't want from a man,cause she learned her lesson. She was so in love that is why it's her favorite mistake, cause she really didn't want to let him go but she had too.
It was Eric Clapton
I totally agree @brendalynn8968
Timeless song from a woman with such timeless beauty.
TIMELESS MASTERPIECE
My favorite Sheryl Crow song.
What a mind blowing way to start an album! The musicality on this album is so stratospherically high. She did her best work producing herself. Too bad she doesn’t do that anymore.
Damn, how great are these lyrics???? Seriously. BRILLIANT. just brilliant.
the lyrics and the melody and the instruments and the phrasing and....everything about this song is amazing
Perfection. Lyrically, musically, and psychologically. She understands the human heart. Just a masterpiece. And, I just learned, this is her favorite song to play live. That said, she's written a dozen gems. I mad in love with her.
@@heavnnnsent Great song, great singer.
Outstanding
Oh lyrica!
Still listening to this in '23. Found myself singing parts of it randomly throughout my day! Lol. Sheryl Crow is what I grew up listening to with my mom. Childhood memories right here! Her music is so simple.
I’m happy to hear that. My daughters had to listen to my music. I know they love my choices and listen now themselves. ❤️
listened to this for the first time in a number of years on my way to the mall to shop today... caught myself singing along in my car... this never gets old for those with a broken heart..makes me wanna sit in the corner with my guitar and strum a few notes and cry a few tears
A musical genius. I was about to go to a Beatle song. Then Sheryl Crow added this. Sheryl Crow is an outstanding musician that ranks with the very best!
an outstanding musician WHO ranks with the very best
I legit use this as a reference track in every new space I mix in. Such a perfectly produced piece. If you haven't already I encourage you to listen closely to the secondary guitar tracks, the tambourine, and that beautiful organ.
Its the broken record in the beginning that gets me...
If you get the chance to see her LIVE, GO! She is BRILLIANT! I hope she sees this! She played tons of instruments in 97 at the Blossom Music Centre! She was FABULOOOUS! WOW That voice!
So many jump to All I Wanna Do when they think of Sheryl Crow but this is her finest moment by far. Just magnificent and clearly an emotional song for her. Only she knows who it is actually about and if it really is Eric Clapton.
I agree. She has way better songs than All I Wanna Do. I really like Light In Your Eyes and All You Bring Me Is Down👍👍
....oh the rumor is ERIC...did not know that.....
@@CuirPhotodotNet I believe it!
She’s so beautiful, and her voice is amazing 💙
I was 24 when this came out. One of my all time favorite songs. Love the album and love Sheryl (as an artist). This song stirred emotions then, can still stir them now even though I’m happily married .
agree, I am right there with you
I guess this is kind of a sad song, but it invigorates me because it is such a great song with an upbeat vibe. Great vocal and arrangements!
I've always absolutely adored Sheryl Crow
sincere & strong (even when she's vulnerable)
🎗
Me too mate , have always been a fan of her material since the first time I've seen/heard anything from her, vividly remember the tv show top of the pops (uk) Thursday night, 7pm, she's appeared on tv doing 'all i wanna do', circa 93/4, instantly impressed with what I'd been treated to, ever since I've maintained my opinion of all she has produced is total authenticity and from a talented musician who loves her work and has respect for the sounds before her and continues doing her own thing without cheating and following fads/trends , she's always been the real deal and an absolute class act also, love her.
Almost 20 years on, still love this song :)
ME TOO!!! cant get enough :)
Sheryl Crow rocks. And gorgeous too, you can't beat that.
She’s by far my favourite female artist
Why does this make me smile
I woke up and called this morning
The tone of your voice was a warning
That you don't care for me anymore
I made up the bed we sleep in
I looked at the clock when you creep in
It's six AM and I'm alone
Did you know when you go it's the perfect ending
To the bad day I was just beginning
When you go all I know is you're my favorite mistake
Your friends act sorry for me
They watch you pretend to adore me
But I'm no fool to this game
Now here comes your secret lover
She'll be unlike any other
Until your guilt goes up in flames.
Did you know when you go it's the perfect ending
To the bad day I'd gotten used to spending
When you go all I know is you're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake
Well maybe nothing lasts forever
Even when you stay together
I don't need forever after, but it's your laughter won't let me go
So I'm holding on this way
Did you know could you tell you were the only one
That I ever loved?
Now everything's so wrong
Did you see me walking by, did it ever make you cry?
Now you're my favorite mistake
Yeah you're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake
This just reminds me of THE best time for amazing female singer/songwriters. The 90's were the best, in so many ways.
"Did you know, could you tell
You were the only one"
Man, that lyric right there, right in the feels..
I was a kid in elementary school with my radio next to me at night playing while I slept and I remember this song coming on all the time.
I remember hearing this song in late 1998, was 16 years old, junior in high school. Sirius XM on their 90s channel today is having countdown of top 30 songs this week 12/17 of 1998, this song was number 17.
Can’t never get tired listening to this song, Sheryl is perfect. if it’s not her vocals, it’s the instruments, and then there’s the amazing lyrics and meaning behind it... puts life in perspective for me.
I don't know why but these guitar chords have stuck in my head lately. I haven't listened to this song for years. And now I listen to it every day.
She's class and so are Crowded House. I believe they are playing on the same stage in England next year. What a treat
A moonlit late summer night in my 73 plymouth, with the windows down, cool air, lonely road and this album playing. Life was good.
How is it now?
I love the wave of emotion on her face in the very last close up. She sings the words "You're my favorite Mistake" with a smile. Then it's like she thinks about the pain of that mistake and immediately stops the smile and frowns.. 3:50 - 4:00
The lyrics, the voice, the emotion, the expression: If it's not genuine, then she's a damn good actor as well as musician.
The rhythm guitar just makes this song.....
They dont make music videos like before. The lighting,the shades,the colors, and the close ups. I think they wanted you to visualize it as a dream or a memory!! And soo many scenes could be stills (photos). I thought it was perfect!!
When I was a kid and Mom and I were on a trip one time driving we had this CD blasting on repeat the whole way, for whatever reason as a curious kid I was asking questions about where kids come from and being planned and what not. Then my Mom explained that I was a surprise but the best surprise ever, and in the most innocent way I was her “Favourite Mistake”. Forever more that was our song!
I love you Ma ❤️
Very similar to my story with my son. At his wedding, this was our groom/mother dance!
My favorite Sheryl's song. Class.
Same here, and I love singing it.
same here,song for my ex =(
She's at her best here for sure
My ex too!
Steve McQueen
T is for timeless
Yes agreed . An for some reason I can't get enough of this song sence I heard it come on the radio other day .
I totally forgot about this music or songs from her
Truly. This will be in my rotation forever.
Tee its 4 manictime

This is my mantra to when I quit opiates. My favorite mistake! Much love to the ones that are still fighting the war! Sheryl rocks!😊🫶🍻
Keep straight!
One of my favourite 90s songs. I’m 49 and I’ll love this forever
Back in 98-99 when I would hear this anywhere, I’d say “it’s my song!”
2020, I’m 40 yo now and I still love this tune :)
my favorite Sheryl song, takes me right back to my 1998. croatian army days&dawns...❤️🍀
Eric Clapton's favourite song as well
Teenage years for me and what great music was around back then! What is Sheryl doing these days?
