Been a goo fan since 1996. This is the best written song I have ever heard from them. And let's be honest. Johnny has written down some of the best songs I have ever listened to. So, much wow!
Absolutely beautiful music and they give you girls and I can't agree with you more this is one of my favorite songs of all time and I want to be buried with this album
Goo Goo Dolls - the music of my youth. Heck, who am I kidding, they are the music of my life! It's absolutely criminal that they don't get more airplay.
I'm glad they don't get more widely known as much as others. The best way to get into an artist is to stumble upon their music and make it grow in you rather than jumping on the bandwagon. That's the difference between heartfelt fans and the norm. Despite not being like others, they have and always will be recognized for their unique sound.
caltech25, It's better this way. The Goo Goo Dolls belong to us. Thank God they didn't follow the route of The Beatles; get so BIG they had to explode and fall apart after 10 years in the limelight. They're still here and so are we.
If they got more airplay, the other extreme might occur - people beaten into submission by elevator music and crap covers for commercials etc. Why not just appreciate it. They wouldn't be losing sleep over who isn't listening to them
Totally agree. They’re an awesome band beyond a Boy Named Goo and Dizzy up the Girl. Rediscovering them now 23 years after my first listen and all their music is phenomenal. Love how they’ve evolved their sound but their lyrics remain as deep and heartfelt as always
Songs that sometimes about self reflections, friendships, encouragements, etc. and not always about romanticism. That's what I love about Goo Goo Dolls, their meaningful diversity of their songs.
@contact alot of songs are made by other bands. Most bands dont even write their own songs. Its a matter of finding the ones that you can sing that resonates with your life.
I hated the Goo Goo Dolls growing up when I thought rap was music. Now that Im a husband and a father I absolutely love them. It sounds weird but I enjoy lifting weights to their music. It gets me so emotional, grateful, and full of love for my family that the discomfort of exercise is nothing to me. Gives me super strength
Oh gosh, the beat, the lyrics, and oh his voice! This song make my heart beat and fills my eyes with tears. This is definitely now up on my favorites. Can barely find music with soul touching lyrics nowadays. I think I'm in love all over again.
~ This is my song for my soldier and I. We’ve been through hell and back, and we have been the constant support and encouragement in each others life as long as I can remember. I hope one day, I have the privilege to marry the most remarkable man I have ever met. I am so proud of him.’Where ever you go my love , I will always be with you and you will always be in my heart.
I think the goo goo dolls are simply amazing. They have God given talents. Each song gives me goose bumps. Makes me wanna cry good joyful tears not tears of sorrow or sadness but of joy!! Love their music.
Such a lovely son! My brother-in-law sadly died this year, my sister said he felt this described their life. My tears are blurry , but the song was them: 37 years together.
Beautiful music has a way of carrying us through so many more struggles then medication or conventional therapy ever could. This is the biggest reason I am a life long fan of this band, especially John Rzeznik and his lyrics. For some reason they always seem to touch every single soft spot in my soul and actually understands me when no one else has.I actually wrote them a letter once but chickened out giving it to them at a meet and greet. I think it's one thing to have a legacy of being famous for making music but creating music that touches the souls of your fans and literally saves their life is an honorable thing. Not many people have the ability to do that and I thank god for this band still being around. Thanks guys, even if you never see this message I hope everyone realizes how beautiful this song is.
Heard of the band, but can't say I really knew any of their music. I was in an office depot the other day and this song came on overhead. It was all I could do to keep my eyes dry and avoid embarrassing myself. This song--the words, the music, the voice--is absolutely beautiful! I can't even begin to explain how I didn't know of it before a couple of days ago. Thank you for publishing it. I just ordered the cd--and for the record, this song just made it on to my "Favorite Songs" list.
Dude this just literally happened to me inside a Wendy’s bathroom! I had to Shazam it to see who it is and I Recognized the band but never listened to their stuff. This song had me emotional on the toilet wtf 😭😭🤣
I cry listening to this. Goo Goo Dolls have always been one of my top favorite groups. I've seen them at least 4 times and going to see them again this summer. Just when I think their albums can't be any better than their last, they never cease to amaze me! Their songs are so beautiful and powerful. You guys rock!!!
This song played right when my mom got in the car after my grandmother passed away. February 5 2017 her birthday was the day before. This song is the best
Words can't explain how i feel when i listen to this song. i mean how can a band be this great and creative. big ups Johnny. Your greatest fan in Nigeria.
This might be my favorite song of all time! I can't decide between this one and I'm still here also by the Goo Goo Dolls. These songs mean the world to me♡
I need a family to drive me crazy Call me out when I'm low and lazy It won't be perfect, but we'll be fine 'Cause I've got your back, and you've got mine You got mine We'll have tiny boxes for memories Open them up and we'll set them free There'll be bad days and some hard times But I'll keep your secrets, if you keep mine You are the memory that won't ever lapse When twenty-five years have suddenly passed Wherever you take me, it's clear I will go Your love's the one love that I need to know Your love's the one love that I need to know Take my picture and then you laugh But I hate the way I look in photographs Keep your memories, but don't live the past I'm looking forward to the best days we will have You are the memory that won't ever lapse When twenty-five years have suddenly passed Wherever you take me, it's clear I will go Your love's the one love that I need to know You are the sun in the desolate sky And your life's in these words and it can't be denied Wherever you take me, it's clear I will go Your love's the one love that I need to know Your love's the one love that I need to know You can cry away all your complicated memories That keep you up so many nights But darling, save your apologies 'Cause I know that you're scared But I swear you'll be alright I swear you're alright You're alright When the answers escape us when we start to fade Remember who loved you and the ones who have stayed 'Cause my body will fail, but my soul will go on So don't you get lonely I'm right where you are You are the memory that won't ever lapse When twenty-five years have suddenly passed Wherever you take me, it's clear I will go Your love's the one love that I need to know You are the sun in the desolate sky And your life's in these words and it can't be denied Wherever you take me, it's clear I will go Your love's the one love that I need to know Your love's the one love that I need to know
My mom has been fighting stage 4 ovarian cancer for 7 years! It's been a long road for myself, siblings and especially my mom. It seems like shes been fighting so hard to see her grandchildren that are being welcomed into this crazy world. The past year has been the worst she has lost her sense of humor and she has become very depressed. I know her fight is something I could never do myself so I look at life threw her struggle and do my best to make what could be her last memories something she can find comfort in. The other night we were all having a moment with games and pop corn at her house and I had a random music spotify playlist on and this song came on and she looked at us all like this is the song that will play when I'm not here. I instantly fell in love with this and its all I've played for the past week now. 🙏✌
One can Never forget the good in the past. You start to Miss an love those Memories more an more makes you want to go back for the good reasons. You forgotten all else.
This is written from John Rzeznik's heart! You just hear on the sound and when you look at the lyrics, that this is a realy meant song. In the beginning I didn't know what I was thinking of the album: 'Boxes'. I realy missed their old sound, but when I listen the second time to this, I feel so different then the first time hearing it! I realy can hear 'the Goo Goo Dolls'-sound in it, but then just a little bit different. I appriciate what the Goo Goo Dolls do and I think they are an amazing band. I love their older stuff, but also this new stuff is incredible! Keep rocking! I believe in what you guys do!
Lost my wife of 29years to breast cancer but the Love of My Life fought bravely for 4.We played this song together when she was diagnosed and on our 25 Anniversary.❤Know where you always are,right on my shoulder.❤🎉
I swear every album they come out with just gets better and better. I forever love this band and this song is my new favorite. It just hits different. Keep it coming Goo goo dolls. I'm sure I'll have another new favorite song by you soon enough.
Thank you goo goo dolls...wish you knew what kind of impact you've made in my life with these words.....lost my parents and with these words I express myself to my siblings and every time I listen to this song I break down to tears..... so thank you for making an expression for the rest of us who couldn't. x.
This song is perfect! From my heart, thank you. I love the lyrics, sentiment, vocals, arrangement, and how it speaks to my very soul. Great music is such a gift to all of us, to experience and keep close to our heart, through this thing called life. Thank you, Johnny and Robby, for sharing your talent with all of us. Congratulations on another masterpiece that this fan from day one, will be listening to, for a long, long time. Always the right song, at the right time. #ReleaseDay #GGDboxes #Boxes #JohnRzeznik #RobbyTakac #GooGooDolls #BestBandEver!! 💖 See you out there!! #SupportLiveMusic 🎼🎶🌠
Heard this on my radio by my bed,so I googled part of the lyrics,I had to try 5 songs till I found it. It was definitely worth the search 👍😊 it's late,and i almost fell asleep to it :)
Wish I could have found a family of my own. 49 still single I don't know what I did so wrong in a past life. Getting so tired of life. I'll hang on at least one more day. Glad there music to help dream.
I listen to this every fucking night and I get so fucking sad but I still cannot stop listening to this amazing soul-touching song in John's heavenly voice 😞
Been a GGD fan for years and I saw them in concert last night for the first time. They were excellent but I was a bit disappointed they didn’t play this song. I get that’s it not their most popular song but I love it
Been a goo fan since 1996. This is the best written song I have ever heard from them. And let's be honest. Johnny has written down some of the best songs I have ever listened to. So, much wow!
He sure has and is even better in concert.
Hits all the right spots. Wow. Just beautiful
I completely agree, so many written songs to perfection, but this one is just in its own relm
Absolutely beautiful music and they give you girls and I can't agree with you more this is one of my favorite songs of all time and I want to be buried with this album
You are so right with everything you said. The lyrics of most of their songs are so deep and impactful.
Goo Goo Dolls - the music of my youth. Heck, who am I kidding, they are the music of my life!
It's absolutely criminal that they don't get more airplay.
This. So much this.
I'm glad they don't get more widely known as much as others. The best way to get into an artist is to stumble upon their music and make it grow in you rather than jumping on the bandwagon.

My wife passed away August 28th 2021 from covid. This song just brought me to tears… I miss you so much Gina. Love you always babe 😭
🎉 omgosh I'm so terribly sorry for your major loss 😢
I can't believe this album isn't more popular, I play it for hours on repeat because it's so good
Disappointed that people these days not into good music like this. This is gold right here. What John does he writes from his heart ❤️
co-writes
Even at 67 this is my kind of music. Words are so good.
Johnny Rzezniks words are always right on time, no matter what age or stage of life you are at!!! Keep listening my friend the best is yet to come💞
Couldn't agree more Guy - and I'm 63, so it's not an age thing! It's knowing good lyrics and good music, no matter how old we are.
@contact alot of songs are made by other bands. Most bands dont even write their own songs. Its a matter of finding the ones that you can sing that resonates with your life.
... was the song for my marriage... Not anymore though. 😢
I will never tire of listening to Johns voice...
Every time i hear this music i almost cry!
That song is special to me, and brings good old memories.
Thx Goo Goo Dolls for bring this to all
Honestly one of the greatest songs ever made. Literal perfection.
Goo Goo Dolls are just incredible
I hated the Goo Goo Dolls growing up when I thought rap was music.
Now that Im a husband and a father I absolutely love them. It sounds weird but I enjoy lifting weights to their music. It gets me so emotional, grateful, and full of love for my family that the discomfort of exercise is nothing to me. Gives me super strength
One of my FAVORITE googoo dolls song. I love this band. I’ve saw them 2x and will pay to see them 20x more!
Oh gosh, the beat, the lyrics, and oh his voice! This song make my heart beat and fills my eyes with tears. This is definitely now up on my favorites. Can barely find music with soul touching lyrics nowadays. I think I'm in love all over again.
this album was released in 2016... why is it I'm just hearing this song now? I love this song!!!
I love this band, their lyrics are incredible. One of the most underrated band
~ This is my song for my soldier and I. We’ve been through hell and back, and we have been the constant support and encouragement in each others life as long as I can remember. I hope one day, I have the privilege to marry the most remarkable man I have ever met. I am so proud of him.’Where ever you go my love , I will always be with you and you will always be in my heart.
This song is everything to me and so are The Goo Goo Dolls
Just found this song recently. It is my current favorite song (and favorite Goo song). Can't believe it wasn't a huge hit.
This song is simply amazing. We need more music like this.
beautiful ,just beautiful .
Wow, they just summed up the past 30 years of ours lives in a beautiful 4:19.
"I'm lookin forward to the best days we'll have"
"your love is the one love that i need to know" thanks john
I think the goo goo dolls are simply amazing. They have God given talents. Each song gives me goose bumps. Makes me wanna cry good joyful tears not tears of sorrow or sadness but of joy!! Love their music.
Such a lovely son! My brother-in-law sadly died this year, my sister said he felt this described their life. My tears are blurry , but the song was them: 37 years together.
Rest In Peace, Dave, pep, your sister in law 😔
Hands down, this is the best song on "Boxes"
John sings from his heart
That instrument played throughout, mostly leading up to the chorus when it gets quiet, I can't tell what it is, but it's hypnotizing. I'm so relaxed
Song for their friendship. May the Goo Goo Dolls live on forever! Johnny and Robby are the best at what they do.
Beautiful music has a way of carrying us through so many more struggles then medication or conventional therapy ever could. This is the biggest reason I am a life long fan of this band, especially John Rzeznik and his lyrics.

Deserves alot more views and likes. Amazing song, so under rated. Listening in 2023
And unsurprisingly, these guys have done it again.

Don C this band will break your heart, listen to black balloon by them.
Dude this just literally happened to me inside a Wendy’s bathroom! I had to Shazam it to see who it is and I Recognized the band but never listened to their stuff. This song had me emotional on the toilet wtf 😭😭🤣

Just when I think their albums can't be any better than their last, they never cease to amaze me! Their songs are so beautiful and powerful. You guys rock!!!
Alison Kandrovy that makes two of us. Cry every time I play this song. So transcendent.
Mike Conville yikes
Me too Alison. Deep, chilling, beautiful, ALWAYS.
Just heard this on Sirius , wow is all I can say ... Almost sounds like a prayer to God .
I'd be more surprised if it wasn't!!!
All his songs are like a prayer to God.
This is definitely spiritual 💕
That's a weak proposition. Why do people have to use God's as a crutch? This sound is about true love. Nothing else.
@@michaelellis8726 Agreed!
is it just me or this one is the best music of this album??
perfect
This song played right when my mom got in the car after my grandmother passed away. February 5 2017 her birthday was the day before. This song is the best
This has to be the next single. Incredibly beautiful song
You gentlemen still rock my world!
i know, girl i know
I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The words just touch my heart and and just the music itself. Amazing
Words can't explain how i feel when i listen to this song. i mean how can a band be this great and creative. big ups Johnny. Your greatest fan in Nigeria.
This is the best song on the album IMO
Yeah
Dallas Coryell also Over and over
This might be my favorite song of all time! I can't decide between this one and I'm still here also by the Goo Goo Dolls. These songs mean the world to me♡
I need a family to drive me crazy
Call me out when I'm low and lazy
It won't be perfect, but we'll be fine
'Cause I've got your back, and you've got mine
You got mine
We'll have tiny boxes for memories
Open them up and we'll set them free
There'll be bad days and some hard times
But I'll keep your secrets, if you keep mine
You are the memory that won't ever lapse
When twenty-five years have suddenly passed
Wherever you take me, it's clear I will go
Your love's the one love that I need to know
Your love's the one love that I need to know
Take my picture and then you laugh
But I hate the way I look in photographs
Keep your memories, but don't live the past
I'm looking forward to the best days we will have
You are the memory that won't ever lapse
When twenty-five years have suddenly passed
Wherever you take me, it's clear I will go
Your love's the one love that I need to know
You are the sun in the desolate sky
And your life's in these words and it can't be denied
Wherever you take me, it's clear I will go
Your love's the one love that I need to know
Your love's the one love that I need to know
You can cry away all your complicated memories
That keep you up so many nights
But darling, save your apologies
'Cause I know that you're scared
But I swear you'll be alright
I swear you're alright
You're alright
When the answers escape us when we start to fade
Remember who loved you and the ones who have stayed
'Cause my body will fail, but my soul will go on
So don't you get lonely
I'm right where you are
You are the memory that won't ever lapse
When twenty-five years have suddenly passed
Wherever you take me, it's clear I will go
Your love's the one love that I need to know
You are the sun in the desolate sky
And your life's in these words and it can't be denied
Wherever you take me, it's clear I will go
Your love's the one love that I need to know
Your love's the one love that I need to know
Had it and she got a new man while still married. 17 years gone!
Wow, those lyrics, that third verse just killed it, i teared up. Johnny dude, you've live a few lifetimes to be able to write. that.
Absolute beauty! My fiance and I plan on using this song as our first dance song at our wedding next month!
this was mine and my husbands first dance. it was absolutely perfection, I recommend it.
Mine and my husbands first dance song too! We just got married on May 1st. So beautiful!
Congratulations! I hope you have a happy life together!

As a military veteran with no family I can really appreciate this song
Keep your head up. You have more people that care about you than you know...
My 7th grade boyfriend told me this was our song in about 2015. I’m 58. This song, and he, got me through some shit. Thanks to both of you.

It's astounding
I love this song!
I cannot wait to hear this song live, as well as the others off this album.
One of the most beautiful and meaningful songs I ever heard. Lots of different interpretations and all of them right. Love it.
Been a GGD fan for years and I saw them in concert last night for the first time. They were excellent but I was a bit disappointed they didn’t play this song. I get that’s it not their most popular song but I love it
