I am the kid with the dreads......I just come back sometimes to remember how Scott used to look back in the days. time moves fast. I can still remember this day.
@@samogen300Along this same theme the poem 'Ozymandias' by Percy Bysshe Shelley has a really nice theme on the futility of defiance in the face of time. "Ozymandias King of Kings look on ye mighty and despair!"
This is a bass guitar line (playing the root notes basically more or less) added to this recording in addition to the guitar and drums but live they have no bassist.
I saw them play in Ft. Lauderdale 30 years ago... Yes, I said it... 30 years ago. Wore out my CD.. yes, I said it .. cd. Have never seen another 2 person band kick a** live like they do. I am 66 soon to be 67 and I am going to see them play again here in Dallas in a couple weeks . I think I'll need to get a walker that doubles as a seat though cause it's standing room only and I don't know if I'll be able to stand the whole time🤣🤣🤣
i saw them in concert years ago. they are no longer a duo. its a trio now. i asked the lead singer.. hey man i thought you were always a duo.. and hes like, hey things change.
Every year this song and many other older songs get this comment or one similar. Its draining. We get it you crave attention. It bangs! It slaps! No 🧢! Just stop.
My dad passed away just recently and this was like his all time favorite song. I just remember when this song came on, he would crank the volume up and go crazy. He never failed to make me laugh
Dear those who grew up in the 90s. As a gen z, I envy the perfect blend of modern tech and old school traditions music and life in general embodied. You guys were the last great generation.
This song was the reason I stopped using, I looked down one day at the radio and saw “ Local H , Bound for the Floor, Better off Dead”. That single moment changed my life for the better and it just goes to show that some people will really never know how much something can impact them. Thank you Local H. You saved me
@@memesauce4375 keep going strong, always remember that there's at least one person (me) who wishes you all the best in the future. I too have had troubles with using in my life so I know how hard it is to try and readjust back to clean life, but like I say I stand with you ever step of the way! I'm 7 years clean and hope you can say the same one day, much love to you bro :)
Congratulations all of you You're moving forwar d in your lives I myself struggle But you continue tomake history with each day And i hope you continue to do so 😔 I really do

I think is my 4th, maybe 3rd comment on this song. As someone dealing with addiction can't find better musical therapy than my childhood music the early 90's .

@@lilianm7457 that should be because of Jesus Christ otherwise I would be very unsure.I was a heroin addict (10 yrs)and quit many times for years but without Jesus.I never really stopped using,even o'd'd from fentanyl and died for about 5 minutes and still kept using.Jesus Christ my friends is our only hope.Be blessed you guys.

NOBODY was drumming like Joe Daniels at the time. The creativity and accents were most definitely new to my ears and an inspiration for me to improve my own skills. Playing to the music is also important. He doesn't just solo over rock music. IT FITS. Rule #1 is to play musically WITH the group. I have such an admiration for his skill.
I love the simplistic guitarist plus drummer aesthetic (obviously the studio version here has the bass line, but I’ve seen them play live with just the two of them). I also love that the drummer is a black guy as I think black rhythmic sensibilities are for whatever reason the best in music (Afro-Cuban and samba rhythmic syncopation complexity, the essential foundational feel it imbues on the music, it’s a great thing and was sorely lacking in much of Western/European music prior to cultural exchange that has happened in the last century or two). Interestingly this drummer plays in a somewhat Dave Grohl-esque power style but with a little more sort of naturally flowing organically emotional fill explosion sort of thing that reminds me of Travis Barker who himself has been strongly influenced by black music and culture via hip hop (Travis seems far more black than his Blink 182 bandmates Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge who are both extremely white in their own ways, the epitomes of suburban i.e. sort of middle class American white boys born in the last half century or so lol which includes me admittedly, but Travis has a more working class and more urban music sensibility and personal style/personality, yet couples it with a militaristically precise sense of timing from his training in drum line during schooling and his devotion to regular disciplined practice of rudiments which one doesn’t see among rock stars much particularly in the more punk inspired areas where such things are sort of considered maybe too conservative/square/traditional). Anyway, my other favorite drummers like Jon Bonham who was sort of the OG rock drummer that obviously inspired every drummer since from Dave Grohl to Travis Barker to Chad Sexton, then you have Stewart Copeland who was influenced much by reggae and jazz complexities both black/African-descended originating musical styles, and Chad Sexton of 311 who I mentioned who has a similar if not more exaggerated metronomic militaristic precision as Travis but with a more reggae relaxed feel a la Copeland albeit less of the Bonham-esque aggression that Dave Grohl and Travis Barker capture but in its place more of the calm complexity of a Stewart Copeland albeit with more symmetry and sort of rigid structure than Copeland’s drumming tends to have, in that sense maybe similar to some of the prog rock drummers or someone like Ringo who understood their purpose is to provide reliable and slightly more practicable periodicity more than creative dynamic chaos, not to say Ringo wasn’t creative because he certainly was but he wasn’t really what you could call impulsive which is more my point as Chad Sexton is not either (sort of a different kind of conservative treat you could say, related to the metronomic militaristic timing in its conservative nature yet slightly distinct as I’d say Travis Barker has the timing but has more impulsivity and thus slightly less periodicity in his drumming and thus not the same highly reliable patterning as Chad Sexton who I’d call more conservative in that sense, and so less free-form jazzy, personally I prefer Travis Barker but I like both a lot). Anyway this is just my ramblings that only drummers could understand I think lol so don’t worry much about it, just my own admittedly oddly race tinged and sort of vaguely/ambiguously politically tinged perceptions of personalities and styles and their natures lol.
This is such slow mellow low energy music how anyone can think that of all the underrated drummers in existence this is one of most under-rated is a joke .
Sometimes, when I get tired of the crap I hear on the radio today, I just listen to this song and it brings me back. Growing up as a teen in the 90s was a gift. I never really appreciated it then, but I sure as hell do now.
You are lucky person to have had listen to this music during its prime. Unfortunately for me I have to listen to lame ass shit that uses almost no instruments what so ever and thinking that just saying random shit and random noises. Qualifies as music. At least everything is recorded and I can travel back to a time of real music before I was even here
+Justin Slaughter he was and he wants to be cool by copy pasting every post that says "hurr hurr the 60's-90-s was so trve and kvlt" when in reality, no one cares.
Local H/Scott Lucas is still making absolute bangers today. They've got a full 30 years of music to dig in to. If you like this song, don't stop here. Here Comes The Zoo, Whatever Happened To P.J. Soles?, Twelve Angry Months, Lifers, etc. They're all great albums. There are LPs, covers and one-off's galore to sink your teeth into.
Born in the 80s, raised in the 90s. Crippling depression, mounting personal debt, lived through 3 separate "End of the World" events and here I am in 2022 listening with the slightest sliver of emotion to a song from my childhood I regret understanding as a man.
@@dabreadsto5133 Not in crippling depression or mounting debt, the things we were promised as kids however.... Got two kiddos, volunteer firefighter and to be honest.... pretty flucking happy :) Acceptance is dangerous. Coping is hard. Be happy, find a job that you enjoy and you'll never work another day in your life. Billions of people and everyone wants to be #1, ain't going to happen. Maybe the most important lesson from this song!
Seek Jesus with your heart, consistently, show Him you mean it, and He will begin to work wonders. Not necessarily make things easier, or fix things, but His Will will surely work for the best for you. And you’ll know it. The love of Jesus is amazing. Saved me from horrendous intrusive thought OCD. I pray this for you man. And anyone else whos going through things.
This song keeps me going through those real low points. Knowing others hurt and feel the same. If you’re reading this , it may not feel like it, but you are loved and you matter. And if no one has told u that lately then you matter to me. Keep that chin up🖤
i actually find it sad that people hardly talk about local h anymore. they are such a talented group of artists with so many amazing songs. we've gotta get people listening to them again
Oh My Word!!! Exactly! My only child Kiki will never know! But The greatest thing of this song, is that it was Underground! On the DL! There were Posers that 'thought' they knew our music, but they didnt know Local H!!!
I wish I was around that time as a teen or adult my generation was like boring with all the changes. I remember being young and think I was gonna have a life like my older siblings but no lol.
Just seen Local H live, in the past week. Cannot express enough how phenomenal it was 😭i want to relive it again so badly. This was one of the encore songs and i was dancing, sweating and crying happy tears all at once.
I went to see Stone Temple Pilots in 1996 at Coca Cola Starplex in Dallas. These guys walked out on stage to open for STP, and blew my mind. I’ve seen a *lot* of great concerts over the years, but the Local H / STP show in Dallas back in 96 was among the best. I consider myself lucky to have been there.
Hey you got it! It's a daily struggle -- I've been clean 3 months now. This world is dark, but no matter how dark it gets, you can be the bastion of light.
my band is about to play with these guys friday night at house of rock. local and thc. (the highest control is my band name) its going to be awesome. im 25 and i would always hear this song growing up. never imagined i would get to play with them. life is a trip.
Saw them open up for Metallica and Avenged Sevenfold in 2015. The crowd was so indifferent when watching them play. They had no idea they were legends.
This song taught me the word copacetic and I never ever will forget it. This is one of those special songs that you just find yourself singing out of nowhere, even after years of not hearing it.
God I miss the 90’s I was in my 20’s then and everything was fun. Great music underground raves, fun people. I look at this world now and I think let’s all go back to the 90’s where life was good.
Banger when it was new and still slays in 2024 I think part of what made the music from this era so great was that hearing your favorite song was almost like a chase. No phone in your hand to play it on a whim. If you didn’t happen to pick up the album from Sam Goody at the mall you would listen to the radio all night in your bedroom, lying on your bed flipping through your favorite magazines, blank tape cued up ready to go, and then dive for your stereo to smash the record button as you heard the first note when it finally came on. Man, the 90s were the best…
This video makes it more clear to me now. I always thought it was about coming off from drugs, changing your lifestyle and looking back with regret. The song certainly works to that regard, but I think it is more about growing up with some form of abuse. Born to be down, I’ve learned all my lessons before now! what good is confidence😢. Seeing the kiddos on the Mary go round, then the adults makes that more clear. Drugs will absolutely destroy confidence, but if your family doesn’t teach you self respect you will learn to blame yourself for everything! And you just won’t get it! Until one day you do😊❤🙏
Local H is one of my all-time favorite rock bands, even to this day. I still love the fact that Scott was the first musician I heard of that made it so his guitar could also do bass lines at the same time.
I've loved this song for years. I'm 48, but this is still my favorite music genre. I don't remember what year it was, late 1990s, I saw Local H open for the Stone Temple Pilots in, I think, Chapel Hill, NC. Great show. Brings back good memories.
My homie and I discovered Local H in the late 90s by accident when we ordered a bunch of cds and they shipped us "As good as Dead"....Glad they made that error. Been a fan ever since. I'm finally going to see them live on 10/15 out in Charlotte, NC....Different drummer now I know but they are still putting out great music.
I lost my job a couple of weeks ago, and for some reason, this song popped into my head a couple of days ago, and now I can't stop listening to it almost constantly.
Can't keep anything anywhere now-a-days. All I have is a tape deck, Magnavox 1992, memories from the "Grunge Era" and a half-smile for the trouble we made. I just wait to see if anything better will ever cast a shadow on the 90s music scene. I doubt it. until then I'm bound, to be so pathetic, I just have to accept it, pop music is the bee's knees! Zzzzzzz
I heard the song in one of Daria's episodes. It was so impossible to take it off my mind since then. Like an earworm and also the lyrics are just amazing.
I haven't been able to get my mind off this song lately... It really does tie to the emotional things that have gone on in my life. I know everybody can relate to a song differently, and it's really crazy to think about....How I interpret the song is.... the people I want to be closest to me, really don't care... And never actually really have. And I had to manage to learn how to live without them in order to make myself happy. And every time I hum the little Melody of this song it makes me start to cry. I have never had such an emotional tie to a song before.
I feel it too. I'm dealing with a lot of trauma and addiction issues and I feel this song in my bones. "And you learn to accept it, you know you're so pathetic."
Went to a Live concert in Erie PA in 2000 and saw a duo rocking when we walked in...they were cool; we grooved. Then they broke into this song and my brothers and I looked at each other and said in unison, "Local H!". It was epic.
Wow this songs amazing it got me out of a toxic relationship and I realized I was keeping things copacetic when I was just being pathetic thank you you inspired me and made me strong 💪 I left the dirty loser and found a man who loves me and would never treat me bad but only helps me grow with this song!!!!! Thank you I’m no longer bound to the floor! I’m levitating and flying over 🌈!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯
Dude i don't understand some people, rock and roll was a product of African-american blues and country. Everyone thinks rock is white boy shit but thats just because white dudes over populated the scene and made it hard to realize that black dudes still rock out.
Any time I hear someone use the word "copacetic," this song INSTANTLY pops into my head. (This time, it was an SNL sketch of Christopher Walken's family reunion.) Wow, I was a high school junior in 1996 listening to this on 103.9 WDRE, 27 years ago. Time flies.
@@dandosapershing6103 15 to 20 days of wd from methadone. Then depending on the issues you had and how long you used. If you have a job and how well your mental health is in general. Basically to many factors to make it predictable. If you were a long term user like 10 years plus you have a good chance of developing Paws which is post accute withdraw syndrome. The main thing is remembering why you started in the first place, and getting help for that. Also watch out for 12 step meetings they are great to help but the whole giving in to a higher power shit and the fact that if you do relapse you have to start from scratch with your chips and how they say all drugs can't be ingested and then server coffee is kind of hypocritical. So see someone for therapy if you can and yeah if you have lots of using history be prepared for a lot of memories it is a form of ptsd at the start every damn place something has happened to you will come flooding back. If you od somewhere or if you used somewhere. Be ready and remember it's a choice to stay sober and sober doesn't mean you can't do anything it just means learn to make better choices. Best of luck sorry I won't bullshit and lie to you and say just 1 more week and your life will be great again it doesn't work like that. Xo best of luck.
Bella Bear nah you’re good, was on methadone for 7 years, and tapered down to 28mg a day, and I haven’t used heroin in years, and decided I was done with the methadone clinic bullshit so I dropped out. I feel pretty good today though so that’s a good sign, I know I still got a ways to go though. Appreciate all the advice, def gonna get some shit in place in terms of mental health
I saw Local H here in Nashville at the Exit In. Met the lead singer . Nice guy. This was when this song was so popular. Plus he had no bass player. I thought that was so cool. He gave me a pick. Lol I will never forget that show.
@@ShellyS2060 Thank you so much . It has been such a battle from being sick but it was just mask to feel good about life but life is so much better without it. Again, thank you very much for that. It's much appreciated.
I figured out the meaning of the title of this song. It's a reference to how no person is free, at all. We're all bound for the floor, by gravity. Very clever. Every human, bound to the floor. No freedom, whatso. Copacetic, I guess, is the singer saying he's ok with it.
I listen to local h til I died. I work in Chicago as a overhead crane operater when it came out. They help me through 60 hours of work a week for ten years without a vacation. Now live on the Westcoast in Astoria oregon letting people know about local h
Wow I miss the 90's. I was just a kid when this music was out. I use to listen to the radio, specifically to Kroq. I remember spending time for your favorite song to come out. So that you could push record, on your cassette player. And catch it on a blank cassette. Born in 1990. I grew up with great music.
91 here man. definitely one of the bands that made me wanna learn to play guitar when I was a kid....now I'm rather close to my 15 year mark as a musician.
Born to be down I've learned all my lessons before now Born to be down I think you'll get used to it And you just don't get it You keep it copacetic And you learn to accept it You know it's so pathetic Born to be down I think that I've said this before now Born to be down What good is confidence? And you just don't get it You keep it copacetic And you learn to accept it You know it's so pathetic And you don't
I am the kid with the dreads......I just come back sometimes to remember how Scott used to look back in the days. time moves fast. I can still remember this day.
There's a reason Chronos ate the Titans, time is the ruler of us all.
Thank you for being a part of my childhood.

Such a simple riff, but it hits so hard it ingrains itself in your brain for decades. What a masterpiece of rock music this is.
I woke up with this song stuck in my head. Haven't heard it in FOREVER... That's how ingrained it is LOL
I think the simplicity is what allows it to rock. Just came back to this song recently since they don't make rock mainstream anymore.

I love the simplistic guitarist plus drummer aesthetic (obviously the studio version here has the bass line, but I’ve seen them play live with just the two of them). I also love that the drummer is a black guy as I think black rhythmic sensibilities are for whatever reason the best in music (Afro-Cuban and samba rhythmic syncopation complexity, the essential foundational feel it imbues on the music, it’s a great thing and was sorely lacking in much of Western/European music prior to cultural exchange that has happened in the last century or two). Interestingly this drummer plays in a somewhat Dave Grohl-esque power style but with a little more sort of naturally flowing organically emotional fill explosion sort of thing that reminds me of Travis Barker who himself has been strongly influenced by black music and culture via hip hop (Travis seems far more black than his Blink 182 bandmates Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge who are both extremely white in their own ways, the epitomes of suburban i.e. sort of middle class American white boys born in the last half century or so lol which includes me admittedly, but Travis has a more working class and more urban music sensibility and personal style/personality, yet couples it with a militaristically precise sense of timing from his training in drum line during schooling and his devotion to regular disciplined practice of rudiments which one doesn’t see among rock stars much particularly in the more punk inspired areas where such things are sort of considered maybe too conservative/square/traditional). Anyway, my other favorite drummers like Jon Bonham who was sort of the OG rock drummer that obviously inspired every drummer since from Dave Grohl to Travis Barker to Chad Sexton, then you have Stewart Copeland who was influenced much by reggae and jazz complexities both black/African-descended originating musical styles, and Chad Sexton of 311 who I mentioned who has a similar if not more exaggerated metronomic militaristic precision as Travis but with a more reggae relaxed feel a la Copeland albeit less of the Bonham-esque aggression that Dave Grohl and Travis Barker capture but in its place more of the calm complexity of a Stewart Copeland albeit with more symmetry and sort of rigid structure than Copeland’s drumming tends to have, in that sense maybe similar to some of the prog rock drummers or someone like Ringo who understood their purpose is to provide reliable and slightly more practicable periodicity more than creative dynamic chaos, not to say Ringo wasn’t creative because he certainly was but he wasn’t really what you could call impulsive which is more my point as Chad Sexton is not either (sort of a different kind of conservative treat you could say, related to the metronomic militaristic timing in its conservative nature yet slightly distinct as I’d say Travis Barker has the timing but has more impulsivity and thus slightly less periodicity in his drumming and thus not the same highly reliable patterning as Chad Sexton who I’d call more conservative in that sense, and so less free-form jazzy, personally I prefer Travis Barker but I like both a lot).
Anyway this is just my ramblings that only drummers could understand I think lol so don’t worry much about it, just my own admittedly oddly race tinged and sort of vaguely/ambiguously politically tinged perceptions of personalities and styles and their natures lol.
This is such slow mellow low energy music how anyone can think that of all the underrated drummers in existence this is one of most under-rated is a joke .
"beyond?" lol. he's good, but definitely not "beyond" talented.
You must be new to music videos, what a silly comment
👍🏽
The only song I've ever heard that included the word "copacetic". Mad props.
dquaidman we think alike lol
dquaidman bad ass
i remember after this song came out everybody looked up the def and started to use the word in daily use esp. media
hipster douche
Lando Hutshison , this song came out in the mid 1990s, so how his the band even hipster?
Sometimes, when I get tired of the crap I hear on the radio today, I just listen to this song and it brings me back. Growing up as a teen in the 90s was a gift. I never really appreciated it then, but I sure as hell do now.
You are lucky person to have had listen to this music during its prime. Unfortunately for me I have to listen to lame ass shit that uses almost no instruments what so ever and thinking that just saying random shit and random noises. Qualifies as music. At least everything is recorded and I can travel back to a time of real music before I was even here
+dgv5015156 awwwww... Was somebody born in the wrong generation?
+Justin Slaughter he was and he wants to be cool by copy pasting every post that says "hurr hurr the 60's-90-s was so trve and kvlt" when in reality, no one cares.
I feel that. Im 17 and I cant stand the shit people listen to now.
Clear Channel killed FM. Fuck those motherfuckers. FM used to be a thing of beauty.
Local H/Scott Lucas is still making absolute bangers today. They've got a full 30 years of music to dig in to. If you like this song, don't stop here. Here Comes The Zoo, Whatever Happened To P.J. Soles?, Twelve Angry Months, Lifers, etc. They're all great albums. There are LPs, covers and one-off's galore to sink your teeth into.
Yep, Lucas is a riff master and great song writer. Local H is still writing great catchy tunes.
Agreed here comes the zoo is my favorite by them. Than lifers and whatever happened to pj soles
This song rocks these guys are very talented and I love it I crank it up everyday
Born in the 80s, raised in the 90s. Crippling depression, mounting personal debt, lived through 3 separate "End of the World" events and here I am in 2022 listening with the slightest sliver of emotion to a song from my childhood I regret understanding as a man.
Exactly
@@dabreadsto5133 Not in crippling depression or mounting debt, the things we were promised as kids however.... Got two kiddos, volunteer firefighter and to be honest.... pretty flucking happy :) Acceptance is dangerous. Coping is hard. Be happy, find a job that you enjoy and you'll never work another day in your life. Billions of people and everyone wants to be #1, ain't going to happen. Maybe the most important lesson from this song!
@@dfgiuy22 grandpa said find a job you love you'll never work a day
You are definitely cut from the same cloth.....we are still here
Seek Jesus with your heart, consistently, show Him you mean it, and He will begin to work wonders. Not necessarily make things easier, or fix things, but His Will will surely work for the best for you. And you’ll know it. The love of Jesus is amazing. Saved me from horrendous intrusive thought OCD. I pray this for you man. And anyone else whos going through things.
This song keeps me going through those real low points. Knowing others hurt and feel the same. If you’re reading this , it may not feel like it, but you are loved and you matter. And if no one has told u that lately then you matter to me. Keep that chin up🖤
I agree with this so much. I'm going to see Local H tonight in Baltimore, I'm so stoked. Be well my friend.
Damn! 😭
Thanks
Thank you, I needed that 😊

i actually find it sad that people hardly talk about local h anymore. they are such a talented group of artists with so many amazing songs. we've gotta get people listening to them again

Such a classic song for the 90's ! I miss the era so much.
I wish I was around that time as a teen or adult my generation was like boring with all the changes. I remember being young and think I was gonna have a life like my older siblings but no lol.
Still Great!!!
Just seen Local H live, in the past week. Cannot express enough how phenomenal it was 😭i want to relive it again so badly. This was one of the encore songs and i was dancing, sweating and crying happy tears all at once.
Awesome
NICE
Awesome, wish I was there! Lol at your user name

Sure.
This band was severely underrated
True!

Only idiots use "underrated" in comments.
I went to see Stone Temple Pilots in 1996 at Coca Cola Starplex in Dallas. These guys walked out on stage to open for STP, and blew my mind.
I’ve seen a *lot* of great concerts over the years, but the Local H / STP show in Dallas back in 96 was among the best.
I consider myself lucky to have been there.
I saw the same show. Ahh I'm old.
I also saw them open for STP in Dayton, OH. Blew my mind.
❤❤❤❤❤ this!!!!!!!!

So some of our youth is not lost! Thanks lil buddy!!
Search for it my dude
Same, Kind of wish I had friends who liked this kind of music
Timeless classic 🎉
Always
This song taught me the word copacetic and I never ever will forget it. This is one of those special songs that you just find yourself singing out of nowhere, even after years of not hearing it.
But do you ever really find yourself using the word? I don't. But I'm thinking about adding when need be.
This made me laugh. I learned to spell copacetic because of this song. I like to throw it in a convo every once in a while as an experiment. 😁
I didn't understand this song until I heard MLK's "absense of tension" quote.
Great jewelry shop in the Providence arcade called Copacetic.
We 💕 you xo
This song makes me feel things that songs today just can't..
That's because it's the 90's and everything music-wise today sucks!!!
amen to that brother , this is my 90's jam right here.
I agree just hearing this song. Makes me think
Mike Mahoney Sorry dude katy perry doesn't make me cry like u.
Mike Mahoney Thousands , my god! Well what are you waiting for boy name us a few , we're all dying to not give a shit.
God I miss the 90’s I was in my 20’s then and everything was fun. Great music underground raves, fun people. I look at this world now and I think let’s all go back to the 90’s where life was good.
Banger when it was new and still slays in 2024
I think part of what made the music from this era so great was that hearing your favorite song was almost like a chase. No phone in your hand to play it on a whim. If you didn’t happen to pick up the album from Sam Goody at the mall you would listen to the radio all night in your bedroom, lying on your bed flipping through your favorite magazines, blank tape cued up ready to go, and then dive for your stereo to smash the record button as you heard the first note when it finally came on. Man, the 90s were the best…
The feelings of nostalgia that I get when I hear this song..😥 I miss you 1996
Amen...
Yes, seriously!
I was 14 when this came out in 96
I was born in 98… just discovered this and it’s great
This band is so underrated!!!!!!!
90's were a great time to be alive!!
Absolutely!
Bill Clay Yesssssss!!!
Bill Clay Damn right. I would give anything to go back to those days.
90s were the last decade before the world went completely nuts
Bill Clay I'm so jealous im 15 and wish I was lived in the 90s I would fit in more and there would be actual music unlike stupid pop I stick to rock
2024! Love this song from HS
Takes me back to the fall of 96, I saw them open up for STP. They kicked ass!
Must have been a great show
This video makes it more clear to me now. I always thought it was about coming off from drugs, changing your lifestyle and looking back with regret. The song certainly works to that regard, but I think it is more about growing up with some form of abuse. Born to be down, I’ve learned all my lessons before now! what good is confidence😢. Seeing the kiddos on the Mary go round, then the adults makes that more clear. Drugs will absolutely destroy confidence, but if your family doesn’t teach you self respect you will learn to blame yourself for everything! And you just won’t get it!
Until one day you do😊❤🙏
Local H is one of my all-time favorite rock bands, even to this day. I still love the fact that Scott was the first musician I heard of that made it so his guitar could also do bass lines at the same time.
I think that comes from the blues
I've loved this song for years. I'm 48, but this is still my favorite music genre. I don't remember what year it was, late 1990s, I saw Local H open for the Stone Temple Pilots in, I think, Chapel Hill, NC. Great show. Brings back good memories.
You just don’t get it
My homie and I discovered Local H in the late 90s by accident when we ordered a bunch of cds and they shipped us "As good as Dead"....Glad they made that error. Been a fan ever since. I'm finally going to see them live on 10/15 out in Charlotte, NC....Different drummer now I know but they are still putting out great music.
They've had two drummers since this one.
I lost my job a couple of weeks ago, and for some reason, this song popped into my head a couple of days ago, and now I can't stop listening to it almost constantly.
Damn, don’t give up gee
What are you up to now?
Used to listen to this song at my rock bottom and reminisce on the good old days. Still just as nostalgic, 2 years clean and sober.
9 years today myself. I am proud of you and wish you a fulfilling sober life.
Can't keep anything anywhere now-a-days. All I have is a tape deck, Magnavox 1992, memories from the "Grunge Era" and a half-smile for the trouble we made. I just wait to see if anything better will ever cast a shadow on the 90s music scene. I doubt it. until then I'm bound, to be so pathetic, I just have to accept it, pop music is the bee's knees! Zzzzzzz
Stay the course, friend. I have 3 years, and it's songs like this that make me feel I'm a part of something much bigger.
The chorus line to this song has been stuck in my head for over a quarter of a century.
I saw them in lacrosse tonight and I will say the singer will go down as a legend. He is an amazing musician he truly gets it
💯
One of the great underrated songs of the 90s. I love the progression in this song and, as a drummer, I think Joe Daniels kills it!!!
I heard the song in one of Daria's episodes. It was so impossible to take it off my mind since then. Like an earworm and also the lyrics are just amazing.
I haven't been able to get my mind off this song lately... It really does tie to the emotional things that have gone on in my life. I know everybody can relate to a song differently, and it's really crazy to think about....How I interpret the song is.... the people I want to be closest to me, really don't care... And never actually really have. And I had to manage to learn how to live without them in order to make myself happy. And every time I hum the little Melody of this song it makes me start to cry. I have never had such an emotional tie to a song before.
That's deep!. Much Respect!
I feel it too. I'm dealing with a lot of trauma and addiction issues and I feel this song in my bones. "And you learn to accept it, you know you're so pathetic."
Went to a Live concert in Erie PA in 2000 and saw a duo rocking when we walked in...they were cool; we grooved. Then they broke into this song and my brothers and I looked at each other and said in unison, "Local H!". It was epic.
seriously one of my favorite songs of ALL TIME, still after not hearing it for over a decade...just a classic jam
Gotta say,, the drummer smashed it, seriously 🎉🎉🎉❤❤
Wow this songs amazing it got me out of a toxic relationship and I realized I was keeping things copacetic when I was just being pathetic thank you you inspired me and made me strong 💪 I left the dirty loser and found a man who loves me and would never treat me bad but only helps me grow with this song!!!!! Thank you I’m no longer bound to the floor! I’m levitating and flying over 🌈!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯

This band is severely underrated this album was dope asf.....
Brothers used to crack up when they heard i liked this. "You black and you like that, man?" "Yeah, i like this, man." What memories.
Dude i don't understand some people, rock and roll was a product of African-american blues and country. Everyone thinks rock is white boy shit but thats just because white dudes over populated the scene and made it hard to realize that black dudes still rock out.
I'm black and this song is dope. Didn't know bout the black drummer. Makes it even sweeter ha

Hey I’m in the process of getting off methadone, this is day 7, any idea what I can expect for the future? Shit sucks.
@@dandosapershing6103 15 to 20 days of wd from methadone. Then depending on the issues you had and how long you used.
If you have a job and how well your mental health is in general.
Basically to many factors to make it predictable.
If you were a long term user like 10 years plus you have a good chance of developing Paws which is post accute withdraw syndrome.
The main thing is remembering why you started in the first place, and getting help for that. Also watch out for 12 step meetings they are great to help but the whole giving in to a higher power shit and the fact that if you do relapse you have to start from scratch with your chips and how they say all drugs can't be ingested and then server coffee is kind of hypocritical.
So see someone for therapy if you can and yeah if you have lots of using history be prepared for a lot of memories it is a form of ptsd at the start every damn place something has happened to you will come flooding back. If you od somewhere or if you used somewhere. Be ready and remember it's a choice to stay sober and sober doesn't mean you can't do anything it just means learn to make better choices.
Best of luck sorry I won't bullshit and lie to you and say just 1 more week and your life will be great again it doesn't work like that. Xo best of luck.
Bella Bear nah you’re good, was on methadone for 7 years, and tapered down to 28mg a day, and I haven’t used heroin in years, and decided I was done with the methadone clinic bullshit so I dropped out. I feel pretty good today though so that’s a good sign, I know I still got a ways to go though. Appreciate all the advice, def gonna get some shit in place in terms of mental health
It's the composition. The melody, the riff, the snares, and the timing all make this arrangement feel so copascetic 🧠
I saw Local H here in Nashville at the Exit In. Met the lead singer . Nice guy. This was when this song was so popular. Plus he had no bass player. I thought that was so cool. He gave me a pick. Lol I will never forget that show.

I figured out the meaning of the title of this song. It's a reference to how no person is free, at all. We're all bound for the floor, by gravity. Very clever. Every human, bound to the floor. No freedom, whatso. Copacetic, I guess, is the singer saying he's ok with it.
