      @@markhamhayseed3709 I think that you misunderstood me. I was replying only to @awsomeo1979's sarcastic "Yeah that happened." I agree that this happened; "r/nothingeverhappens" is a reference to a subreddit that mocks Internet users who assume, like @awsomeo1979, that a plausible situation, such as @pippass9005's, never happened for no apparent reason. In other words, the "nothing ever happens" is sarcasm to match the baseless assumption (i.e., "yeah that happened" here) that this could not have possibly happened. I hope this clarifies the intent of my comment for you! 😊

    Fun fact: The band confirmed the story of the music video. The man suffers from terrible agoraphobia and social anxiety. He's very lonely and every day he looks through his telescope to watch people interact and takes down notes on how to socialize. He tries going out several times but is too scared and ends up changing his mind. He then has a breakdown from the isolation. Eventually he has enough and at the end he musters up the courage to leave his roof and goes out to see the world and try to make himself happy

    Reading through the comments, listening to this song and remembering the late 90s and early 2000s has made me realize that we are the first generation to grow old together in real time. Though millions of us have never met, from city to the boondocks, somehow we all share similar experiences and nostalgia. I imagine once we become elderly we will all still be sitting in these very comment sections reminiscing about 1998.

      Seriously, same here. Heard this in a grocery store a few days ago, for the first time in at least a decade, and it's been in my head ever since. The lyrics ended up being rather close to heart, after a thorough listen, in a way that they weren't at all when this came out when I was in High School in 1998.

    this song has always been so special to me, I can't help but get super emotional listening to this even now. I remember listening to this when I was twelve, sobbing, thinking I'd never make it to fourteen, but here I am, eighteen and going strong. It's saved my life more times than I'd like to admit over the years and I'll forever be grateful that this song exists. I'm getting a soundwave of this song tattooed over my self harm scars soon. Thank you.

    If I could choose just one song to carry with me through life, it would be 'Iris.' I first heard it in grade school when my older sister played the City of Angels OST on cassette. That moment marked the beginning of a deep connection with the song. Its haunting melodies and heartfelt lyrics resonated with me in a way I couldn't fully understand back then. Since that day, it has remained a constant presence in my playlist, weaving its way through my memories and emotions. Thank you, Goo Goo Dolls, for creating a song that captures the essence of longing and vulnerability.

    I'm 23 years old, i never heard this song in my life before until last month, since then I've been hooked. I even watched city of Angels just because of this song. I can't stop replaying this song, Iris has definitely taught me to love music again, it's been since I was 16 that I found a song and fell in love with it. A friend once told me "you can't touch music, but music can touch you." I understand that now. Thank you Goo Goo Dolls! ♥

      This song is Satanic plain and simple. It is a song about the singer wanting a spirit to enter himself as he says "and I don't want the world to see me as I don't think that they'd understand" why is it that he doesn't want the world to see him???? Please don't tell me you think this was a lyric about a woman lol you'd want the world to know you thought about your girl right??? He is talking about wanting to be possessed and that he knows sooner or later it's over (his life once the spirit is done with him).....it's a dark evil song made to hide in plain sight. Sorry but things aren't what they seem. But carry on.

    • @YBTMH

      Also, he keeps looking through the one eyed lense of the telescope.....one eye is showing one eyes is looking through into "space" notice also that there are no women in this video......because again he is NOT talking about a woman or love he is talking about the spirit he is trying to summon via this song. He is telling you who is talking to and what he is apart of via the imagery in the video. Wake up.

    I’m only 23 and this song is still so nostalgic to me. It always makes he feel like what a better place would sound like. Bring music like this back please.

      I listen to mostly 90s and 2000s, especially while I'm at work. I'm 24, so I wasn't teenager when songs like these were popular. I didn't even hear them that often as a kid. However, I can see myself getting nostalgic for these once time passes, as they've helped me get through busy days and lazy hours.

      @@kenyaholloway-reliford8213 I'm 18 and I feel the exact same way about old music. Sometimes when I listen to songs that were popular before I was even born, I feel nostalgic as if I used to listen to them all the time when it's in fact the first time I'm hearing about them.
      It's both weird and beautiful, and for some reason it makes me feel human again
