It’s July 2024. I just went through a box of cds that I’ve been holding onto so my kid could go through them… eventually. This cd was in there and I was immediately transported back to 2000. God this was such a great time.
The album version is better than the music video version in my opinion. The vocals matched the chords better and overall the song sounded more fresh. My father introduced this music to me when I was very very little and now I still listen to this music as I love it dearly. You chose a good song to listen to. Life of Saturday’s is another good one by dexter freebish. I highly recommend that song.
Except this song was widely recognized across the nation, it got a lot of radio play. It isn't the case that it wasn't recognized where did you get that idea
I went to McKinney (Texas) High School from 98-00 and this reminds me of a girl that I went to school with named Mary Beth Cox. She loved this song and "left town" around 2005 possibly. Never saw or heard from her again.
Back in 03 I used to listen to Netscape Radio's pop/rock station which allowed me to discover loads of bands like Dexter Freebish, Vertical Horizon, Stereo Fuse, Sister Hazel, Tonic, etc - bands which are virtually unknown here in the UK. Good times!
I totally forgot about this one til the other day. Shame on me!! Lol! I love this one. I was 20 when this came out. Doesn't seem that long ago. These guys are classic. I have a couple road trips I'm planning this summer. Definately will be hearing this on them!
Road trip summer of '03. I listen to this song every. single. week. Whenever I'm feeling down, I play this and I remember how life was and what's important. God bless.
This though. I wore the baggiest jeans and cargo pants i could get hold of in the late 90'sthrough the early 2000's. Ironically, i now wear slim or skinny black jeans half the time.
This was one of my favorite bands in middle school. I used to listen to the full CD daily as soon as I got home from school. "Cuz I remember how we...."
Got a couple CD's....went and saw them several years ago in Clearwater Florida...my hubby checked the out in a Best Buy... we've been hooked for years...their songs hold a lot of great memories... can't even believe they're not blowing it up out there?
I would like to thank Spotify for recommending this band. I forgot all about this song. Now I can have it. I never could find it so I forgot all about it.
@@undergroundkingz7969 Rock and its various sub genres at that time had seen a heavy decline after 1995. The rest of the mid to late 1990s saw a considerable rise of pop, dance and r&b. Particularly because of how aggressive those genres presented themselves to audiences.
@@Fantom6400 that first part is not true at all, you should know that too. Dance/pop music started rising in the early 90s too. You can have more than one genre experiencing mainstream popularity. In the late 90s (past 95) you saw the big boom of post grunge music. Bands like Third Eye Blind and Matchbox Twenty were putting out massive crossover hits. This is the same time blink-182 blew up, along with nu metal...
@@undergroundkingz7969 Dude, I literally witnessed the decline of Metal begging in the late 80s to early 1990s. Literally taken over by grunge which itself went in decline at some time after 1994-95, Dance music in the early 1990s was the start of what that genre would become later on in that decade. Everything from Candy Flip, Xpansions, Saint Etienne to The Prodigy, Venga Boys, Faithless and Deep Dish.
I heard this song at Lowes Foods while shopping, so I had to look it up. The video is an interesting product of it's time with cuts to slow motion playing/dancing/singing. They can do that by cutting super fast, which is the norm in music videos. I would borrow this album from my sister in middle school and listen to it over and over again, ON A CD PLAYER.
Man...video commissioners had a lot of sway over music video creative in these days...the kids surrounding the band and dancing thing...we all had to do it back then. Still...super fun song! And Nancy Bardwell made this a super fun vid!
Brings back so many good memories. Saw you guys in concert in Knoxville with Sister Hazel around early 2000s. Had biggest crush on the lead singer. *sighs*
I've been hearing this song at work for at least the past year. I kept trying to pick up bits and pieces of the lyrics to feed Google so it could tell me what it was (I don't have Shazam, shut up) and finally tonight I got enough of them to get the song, which I put on repeat and sang along to at the top of my lungs on the way home from work tonight. :) The chorus hits hard as it echos almost exactly some conversations I had with a close friend before he pulled the king of all Irish goodbyes.
Man the nostalgia really hits me with this. I remember sitting on my computer dialing up to the Internet on a modem to get on AOL to chat and watch buffered videos listening to this song.
This song reminds me of my high school friends, we made a video of memories that have since been lost, and our one friend has passed away, bittersweet memories

I fully believe that the lyrics to this song were written in under ten minutes on the back of a used cocktail napkin. Doesn't stop me from loving it to this day.
I've been singing this song as "Remember how we spent time together" and not "drank time together." Still, an incredible song! Also, Dexter looks like a dude you'd see on Arrow or the Flash or something.
IVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS SONG FOR OVER 22 YRS.....FINALLY HEARD IT AT WALMART AND FOUND OUT THE NAME. First heard it off the Tomcats movie soundtrack and fell in love with it
Always reminds me of the movie "Dancer, Texas Pop. 81" (1998) - for the longest time, I thought this music video was made with that movie in mind, but watching it again, I'm not so sure. It definitely has the same vibe.
I wish radio sounded more like this again. The electronic pop sound that even the Alternative format has gravitated to is just so much aural sameness these days, IMHO.

It’s July 2024. I just went through a box of cds that I’ve been holding onto so my kid could go through them… eventually. This cd was in there and I was immediately transported back to 2000. God this was such a great time.
This song is so damn underrated! Sad that songs like these go unnoticed.
I loved this song when I was a kid!
Not under rated…….. your just not from the 90’s
Uh, it won a prestigious song writing award, hardly unnoticed.
The album version is better than the music video version in my opinion. The vocals matched the chords better and overall the song sounded more fresh. My father introduced this music to me when I was very very little and now I still listen to this music as I love it dearly. You chose a good song to listen to. Life of Saturday’s is another good one by dexter freebish. I highly recommend that song.
It was playing ALOT on the radio when it came out, almost too much after a certain point.
I feel bad for people not raised in the 90’s. We had music and songs like this all the time 🤘🤘
heyyy now…. born in 2007 but my mom is always blasting misic loud af!!! i give her shit but lowkey i like it🤭🤗❤
First song I downloaded off napster..... 😳
catchgeo Hahaha, so true! 2001 forever!!
Very cool - I like that I got to read that. Thanks for that. Those were the good old days of music downloads.
Preach
It’s probably because of all of us (and technology) to blame for it sucking so bad now.
Wow
My dads the lead guitarist 😎
Lol
Yeah and my 4 year old niece is the lead singer.
Considering her last name is the same as Scott’s I believe it. Good music
Are you shitting me, or just being a dick like l would be??
Saw them three times. Do they still tour now?
This song deserves so much more credit...
Why did this never blow up? Might’ve been a few years too late but it’s definitely pop rock perfection.
It blew up enough for me to hear back in the day lol
Ya, I was gonna say it was playing everywhere summer of 8th grade (summer 2000)
HA HA HA YES me too, I graduated 8th grade 2000
I don't remember this song ever playing on the radio and I'm in New Zealand.
@@kathryndainty9299maybe it's because you're in New Zealand lol it was playing everywhere in America
This makes me smile...damn high school music was great
Was it really though
Absolutely
It's sad how the best music never gets recognized.
Except this song was widely recognized across the nation, it got a lot of radio play. It isn't the case that it wasn't recognized where did you get that idea
Even though this was released in 2000, I still call it great 90's music
14 years ago when she left for college this was my jam
I hear that although I didn't appreciate it at the time.
This video and song completely sums up my high school / college years. Such an epic video.
Summer of 2000 was full of awesome songs I forgot about. Time to go search "wheatus", "vibrolush" and "collapsis".
Holy crap, I forgot this song even existed!
How did this song never cross my path I totally grew up in this era and loves the type of music and I've never heard the song my life until today
And now u love it, right? Like, how can u not. Lol
@@hollydement2310 fuckin right I do lol!!
@@hollydement2310 and quite possibly I could love u... this could be our song😉
I went to McKinney (Texas) High School from 98-00 and this reminds me of a girl that I went to school with named Mary Beth Cox. She loved this song and "left town" around 2005 possibly. Never saw or heard from her again.
Hope she pops up again someday in your life.
bruh.. shes a doctor now..
@@nayabali Really??
I've been trying to find an ex of mine for years from a different state.
@@CryptoAmyUSA loser she’s moved on. She now gets SLAMMED by real men 😀
underrated band.
Back in 03 I used to listen to Netscape Radio's pop/rock station which allowed me to discover loads of bands like Dexter Freebish, Vertical Horizon, Stereo Fuse, Sister Hazel, Tonic, etc - bands which are virtually unknown here in the UK. Good times!
Still a rock solid tune!
been beer bongin by myself and listening to this song on loop all night.. so epic
party like it's 1999 lol
Word
Just found this song.. pretty good
What a great song with a great hook! Bands are far and few nowadays, but this kind of song is spot on as far as great songwriting!🎸🎤
college days... late 90's music! best memories!
When and where did I hear this song? The 90’s were full of dude rock like this.
I totally forgot about this one til the other day. Shame on me!! Lol! I love this one. I was 20 when this came out. Doesn't seem that long ago. These guys are classic. I have a couple road trips I'm planning this summer. Definately will be hearing this on them!
This song was always on the radio in DFW when it came out and it played for a good amount of time too. One of my favorites.
Road trip summer of '03. I listen to this song every. single. week. Whenever I'm feeling down, I play this and I remember how life was and what's important. God bless.
I remember always listening to this on the way to school when I was in 7th or 8th grade. It was always on the radio.
so. SO underrated!!!!
It was impossible for jeans to be too baggy when this song was hot.
I miss baggy jeans Levi silver tabs were awesome .. I hate these damn skinny jeans for guys now .. like chick looking jeans horrible
Tight jeans are for ladies my friend
This though. I wore the baggiest jeans and cargo pants i could get hold of in the late 90'sthrough the early 2000's. Ironically, i now wear slim or skinny black jeans half the time.
This was one of my favorite bands in middle school. I used to listen to the full CD daily as soon as I got home from school. "Cuz I remember how we...."
Named my 4 mth cat Dexter, needed a middle name and remembered this band, his name is now Dexter Freebish.
Got a couple CD's....went and saw them several years ago in Clearwater Florida...my hubby checked the out in a Best Buy... we've been hooked for years...their songs hold a lot of great memories... can't even believe they're not blowing it up out there?
One of the best songs ever
This is the most late 90s music video I’ve ever seen 😂
I would like to thank Spotify for recommending this band. I forgot all about this song. Now I can have it. I never could find it so I forgot all about it.
Such a great song ! First time hearing it
Tomorrow I am going to spike my hair and frost the tips………I am stuck in 90’s 🤘🤘
I first heard this Acapello in the radio studio...so awesome it made me go find it..been hooked every since.waay underrated
What a great summer this was released in!
I know. The memories.
Me and my older sister used to sing this song all the time. I don't see her much anymore since she left town. :/
amazing band!! i would like the people listen more about this band, cheers from spain!
I like how this actually sound like a concert performance. Props given for not just dubbing the album cut over.
so underrated
National Anthem of my life.
2020 still here
Sadly, 5 years too late, they would have been massive in 95.
More like 98-99 cause that’s when pop rock/pop punk peaked there. This song kinda reminds me of “Closing Time” which came out in 98.
If they’d release this back between 1995-1997 I’m sure it would’ve been a 90s anthem.

one of my fav songs of all time
forever one of my favorite songs. Period.
This was my high school class song. 06' feels like yesterday. Now I'm 34. Why does time have to move. 😞
My inspiration song for the day. Thanks to one of my acting buddies, Mike Templeton.
Man...video commissioners had a lot of sway over music video creative in these days...the kids surrounding the band and dancing thing...we all had to do it back then. Still...super fun song! And Nancy Bardwell made this a super fun vid!

Oh your reputation's so golden
You're never lonely and you're never home
I know you've been talking about leaving
You've lost all your feeling for this town
Paint your nails and put on your lipstick
You don't want to miss your ticket out
Just because you graduate from school so high in the gene pool, that's your point of view
But when you're broken down and no one else is around
You'll come running back to this town and I'll be there, yeah I'll be there
Cause I remember how we drank time together
And how you used to say that the stars are forever
And daydreamed about how to make your life better
By leaving town, leaving town
Pack your bags, your smokes in your pocket
You're wearing my locket around your neck
Take a drag and wait for the Greyhound
The world is your playground and you want to win
But when you're broken down and no one else is around
You'll come running back to this town and I'll be there, yeah I'll be there
Cause I remember how we drank time together
And how you used to say that the stars are forever
And daydreamed about how to make your life better
By leaving town, leaving town
Nothing in life will ever come that easy.
Doesn't mean it has to be that hard.
I know you will find out who you are
But when you're broke and down and no one else is around.
You'll come running back to this town and
I'll be there, yeah I'll be there.
'Cause I remember how we drank time together
And how you used to say that the stars are forever.

Leaving town, leaving town.
Yeah I remember how we drank time together and
How you used to say that the stars are forever.
And daydreamed about how to make your life better by
Leaving town, leaving town.
You're leaving town, yeah
This is the only song I can name from the band, I seen them at a local club in early 2001. Good show, great memories!
***** I don't recall, sorry. (Wasn't driving)
Same here, met the band. Nice guys.
I also know "My Madonna" ... Love them both, but this one .. is in my soul! 💓
Was that the Newport Columbus Ohio opening up for everlast?
Hmm.
Now I wonder if either Guitar Hero or Rock Band has this track.
Great stuff none the less, thanks DF. =]
I'm EXTREMELY late but sadly not
Music really was just so much better back in these days. Where did we go so wrong?
Does his voice seem deeper in this video than the album version? Like half an octave or so.
Omg Nostalgiaaa 😍 It was so hard to find this bc I only remembered bits and pieces but it was stuck in my head 😅
I was starting to think it was a Mandela effect
2000 and my ex from working at Chick-fil-A brought me here. She let me burn all their CDs. Very underrated band!

late 90's early 00's as a teen was fantastic! I would sell my soul to the devil to be able to get back at the era!
I was like a junior in HS when this song came out. Great song!
This is one of my favorite songs! Sad if they got little love!
I fully believe that the lyrics to this song were written in under ten minutes on the back of a used cocktail napkin. Doesn't stop me from loving it to this day.
Love this song
the best song!! great music and excellent message!
Wow I havent heard this song in a while! My cousin is in this band, and I love this song! And the band!
Your cousin is in this band? Wow.
I've been singing this song as "Remember how we spent time together" and not "drank time together."
Still, an incredible song!
Also, Dexter looks like a dude you'd see on Arrow or the Flash or something.
I think I was in the &th grade when this song came out hahaha it never gets old to me!
nice song,nice voice and nice and handsome vocalist
absolutely perfect!!
my mom loved this song.she passed away and it took me a year to find this masterpiece.
IVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS SONG FOR OVER 22 YRS.....FINALLY HEARD IT AT WALMART AND FOUND OUT THE NAME. First heard it off the Tomcats movie soundtrack and fell in love with it
I'm 146 years old and I am still rocking to this song.
The two songs from 'Shine' - "Save the last dance for me" and 'Do you want to' fire me up in impossible ways. I love this band's music.
Awesome dude 🤘
wow this is crazy i used to work with the singer and every day i would just walk by ,,, Awsome!
2020 love it 💓
I miss these guys.
I think this song went number one in 15 countries. Somebody was cranking this in Maui the other day; it should’ve been done in Spanish too.
One of my first CDs
Always reminds me of the movie "Dancer, Texas Pop. 81" (1998) - for the longest time, I thought this music video was made with that movie in mind, but watching it again, I'm not so sure. It definitely has the same vibe.
How much was that haircut? - It was freebish!
This is a different version than the one on the CD and that I heard on radio when it was out. I want to find it! Love tis song!
I never thought about that until you mentioned it. Yes, I do remember a different version. I might actually have it somewhere.
I wish radio sounded more like this again. The electronic pop sound that even the Alternative format has gravitated to is just so much aural sameness these days, IMHO.
Who 2019
Reminds me of my first year of college. That's when I saw this video.
One of my classics. Are there any songs after them that have a similar sound? Besides Nine Days.
2020 IM HERE. MISS UR SONGS
lovde this alternative sound
Miss this song
I'll be there.... 😎
*sniffs* man music was so good 11 years ago. T.T
Now 20 years ago.
