      This song sometimes gets played at sporting events. I've heard it a couple of times on the TV while watching them. Never in full of course. I had no idea what the name was until I just searched for it. I got lucky on the title guess.
      This song reminds me of Dawson's Creek. Last time I heard it when I rewatched the show in syndication like 8 or 9 years ago. Obviously not the whole song was played. Tonight I was at a bar for dinner and this randomly came on. Recently this happened to me with the song "I'll Be" by Edwin McCain. Song appeared on the season 1 finale of Dawson's Creek. I've been on a nostalgic kick recently. But this fits the bill of one of those late 90s/early 2000s hip hop, pop rock or whatever you wanna call it one hit wonders. It's a song that when you heard at like 9 was catchy but you had no idea what it meant. Now in your 30s it hits deep.

      That's right, and this is the exact reason why The Young are disconnected from The Experienced when discussing, well, almost everything. Those who are youthful, they disregard the statements of The Experienced because they believe those experiences are no longer valid, while The Experienced know the value in their statements as they know that History repeats itself, and they know that History repeats itself because of the one unifying factor between the Past and Present, it's filled with humans, and at their core, humans are the same regardless of the generation they were born into. Humans, at their base core as a species, change very little. This is the reason why the current Youth who blame the Boomer Generation for everything, ignorantly not taking into consideration that the Boomer Generation themselves were activists during the 60's and 70's, fail to realize that in about 20-30 years they will be blamed for all of the current issues. It is this lack of understanding that discredits The Young and their manner in the eyes of The Experienced, and it is the same reason why The Experienced were discredited while they were The Young. Some things change, many things do not, and it's because we are all Human, and most fail to realize this, which why most things tend to not change.

    This song never meant much to me growing up. My sisters watched Dawson's Creek religiously and I never paid much attention to it. I joined the military, did my overseas tour, and now this song stings. Can't believe how no one talked about how this song was so far ahead of it's time talking about ptsd and how it effects the families of the military. I'm doing a lot better now. I had ten years to figure myself out and love myself more than my previous self gave him credit for.
    Nowadays this song makes me cry because I'm happy I'm not the same guy who didn't love himself like I do now. I'm just thankful I pushed through all the dark times and gave my life a chance.

    I think this song hits so deeply and affects us on a primal level because it speaks of that one thing that we are connected to, and that connects us all, from the day we're born, until the day we say farewell:
    Family.
    And, the inevitable changes we face, out in the world that shape and often determine the people we become on our inside world:
    The home.

      I was born in 1962. A lot of the men I knew were world war 2 veterans which in my very humble opinion, was the last noble war that Americans were involved in. I dont mean to take anything away from the huge sacrifice that many men and families made in wars after that. They were completely justified for following they’re feeling of doing what they thought was the right and patriotic thing to do. I find no fault with the men and women who choose to fight on the average Americans behalf. I do find a lot of fault with the powers that be, that choose to start wars over the rich not losing they’re money. I believe the Korean and Vietnam wars were for this very reason. I will never sacrifice one of my children for this reason and I think most Americans are with me on this, There are reasons to fight but, not to keep rich people rich.
      I don’t begrudge people who are especially talented or intelligent having more then the average person in this country. But, I do begrudge how much they think they deserve than the average American. Let’s say they deserve 5 times more, than i am ok, I can deal with that. If I’m making 10 dollars an hour, they are making 50 dollars an hour. I get that, they are smarter and more educated than I am.
      But, right now the average CEO is making 360 times more money than his average employee. Which means, if I am making 10 dollars an hour, the CEO is making 3600.00 an hour. Is it just me or does this seem a little ridiculous.
      Couldn’t this guy spread the wealth around just a bit. Come on, isn’t 100 times more than the average employee enough? Isn’t your 1000.00 to our 10.00 enough? When will it be enough?
      I don’t understand this kind of greed. What makes you think you are 360 times more important than the average American?

    I'am from Argentina, and I've never imagine this song was about the fears of a wife and mother during WWII. I though was about teens problems because Dawson's Creek.

    I grew up without a father and hearing this song on the radio while driving home from school always made me wonder what was on my mother‘s mind. It hit me deep back then, it does still, differently but still.

    This song was ahead of its time. Paula Cole was nominated for Best New Artist at the 1998 Grammy Awards along with Erykah Badu, Hanson, Fiona Apple and P. Diddy. She ended up winning. Congrats Paula youre still a legend after all these years. Loved you. I Miss the 90s. 😊😊

    She had two babies, one was six months, one was three
    In the war of '44
    Every telephone ring, every heartbeat stinging
    When she thought it was God calling her
    Oh, would her son grow to know his father?
    [Chorus]
    I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
    I want to know right now what will it be
    I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
    Will it be yes or will it be sorry
    [Refrain]
    Doo doo doo doooo
    Doo doo doo doooo
    Doo doo doo doo doooo
    [Verse 2]
    He showed up all wet on the rainy front step
    Wearing shrapnel in his skin
    And the war he saw lives inside him still
    It's so hard to be gentle and warm
    The years pass by and now he has granddaughters
    [Chorus]
    I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
    I want to know right now what will it be
    I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
    Will it be yes or will it be
    [Verse 3]
    Ohhh, so look at me from across the room
    You're wearing your anguish again
    Believe me I know the feeling
    It sucks you into the jaws of anger
    Ohhh, so breathe a little more deeply
    All we have is this very moment
    And I don't want to do what his father
    And his father, and his father did
    I want to be here now

They'll never know or understand what true music was how like we had it. I cherish these memories with my mom and family every day as I get older. Geez. I'll be 35 in September 🤣
