This guy had rough childhood. Both parents died when he was 15 and 16, only had his sisters. Clearly this music came from his soul. Written for Jim, a boy who only wanted a father who was never present, and once abandoned him for good.
Watched Treasure planet today for the first time today. This song came on and instantly said loud...."Wait! Is that the Goo Goo Dolls?" Loved the film and this song. Real late 90s - early 00s nostalgia
Possibly, but Disney are usually pretty good with letting artists keep the songs that they write and record for them. I'd guess it's simply a matter of him feeling no-one remembers this song and wants to hear it, or maybe it's just that this is not technically a Goo Goo Dolls song.
@@Zoeythekeyblademaster Definately a possibility. But sometimes he does solo shows (without Robbie), still never this song. Gotta think there is something more to it.
For any guitarists watching this, the tuning John is playing in here is Db Ab Db Ab Ab Eb. (the studio version is a half step up from this, if you wanna use this tuning with the studio recording tune up a half step or capo fret one). The chord shapes are mostly just basically two finger power chord shapes, but with all the strings ringing out. Just watch his hands to see what he’s doing 😄
I was literally doing the same thing watching his hands cause I'm working on this song and figured he would do the classic Rzeznik thing of having a weird open tuning. I used an open G but my original thought was that he would use a D variant and that seems to have been correct.
171QA I sadly never knew this was a thing! I mean I use to watch Kim possible lilo and stich and old shows like that and some of the 2005-8 but I never saw anything like this!!! I use to watch treasure planet as a kid a ton!
Tony Nguyen I'm just now graduating and this song is such a nostalgic blast for me. I'm 18 now but still listening and singing all the words like I did when I was a little kid watching treasure planet. I guess what I'm trying to say here is thanks for sharing this with me man.
No playback, no autotune, no backing track... Man I miss the days when musicians were actually talented and had to put in years of practice to get on a stage.
one of my favorite songs from the most underrated disney film. definitely deserved more recognition but i’m glad i have my little treasure planet that most people don’t know about :) love John sm
This songs lyrics are so beautiful. They're saying you know what, i might be fucked up, i might be battling with mental illness, emotional breakdowns, highs and lows, lonliness, being an outcast, but you know what? I've stayed strong throughout it all. I'm still here
he has such great emotion in his voice. I've listened to a lot of covers and they all miss the emotion behind the lyrics and it really makes the covers subpar even though they sing great.
Anyone else born in 93? I feel old, seeing all these 94s floating around. More to the point: this man is God. My favourite singer and my favourite movie.
This song describe perfectly how everybody felt sometimes as he was a teenager. John just know how the live works like everybody can hear in his lyrics and that's it what makes John extraordinary! GOO GOO DOLLS AND JOHN RZEZNIK FOREVER!!!!!!
I am a question to the world Not an answer to be heard Or a moment that's held in your arms And what do you think you'd ever say? I won't listen anyway, you don't know me And I'll never be what you want me to be And what do you think you'd understand? I'm a boy, no, I'm a man You can't take me and throw me away And how can you learn what's never shown? Yeah, you stand here on your own They don't know me 'cause I'm not here And I want a moment to be real Wanna touch things I don't feel Wanna hold on and feel I belong And how can the world want me to change? They're the ones that stay the same They don't know me 'cause I'm not here And you see the things they never see All you wanted I could be Now you know me and I'm not afraid And I wanna tell you who I am Can you help me be a man? They can't break me as long as I know who I am And I want a moment to be real Wanna touch things I don't feel Wanna hold on and feel I belong And how can the world want me to change? They're the ones that stay the same They can't see me but I'm still here They can't tell me who to be 'Cause I'm not what they see Yeah, the world is still sleepin' While I keep on dreaming for me And their words are just whispers And lies that I'll never believe And I want a moment to be real Wanna touch things I don't feel Wanna hold on and feel I belong And how can they say I never change? They're the ones that stay the same I'm the one now 'cause I'm still here I'm the one 'cause I'm still here I'm still here, I'm still here, I'm still here
That guy is sooo classs!!! He is an amazing singer songrwriter! I wish they would tour the UK. They don't do UK tours very often! I love the GOO GOO DOLLS! saw them live two years ago in Dublin. THEY WERE BRILLIANT LIVE!!!!
Ugh Disney channel will never be the same again! i miss the old Disney channel some shows are ok but nothing beats the older Disney channel. After 2006 and when Raven ended it all went down-hill.
I was born in 1997, I remember seeing Treasure Planet in cinemas in 2004; best. Movie. Ever. I don't care what critics say about it, it was amazing. John's music just made it awesomer! I really hate today's music; it's all about drugs and sex and pointless romances. The Goo Goo Dolls and the music I listen to (I hope it's good) has an actual meaning. I miss the old Disney as well and I'm glad I don't have Disney Channel because the of the crap they put on there. I WANT THE OLD DISNEY BACK!!
I noticed that this comment was made 6 years ago. Since then Disney Channel put on a cartoon called Gravity Falls. Not sure you've heard of it or not, but if you haven't, I STRONGLY recommend it. The show was on from 2012-16(it wasn't cancelled though, it was given a proper ending). It's easily the best thing that the Disney channel put on in years
I watched this movie when I was 5yr old. Didn’t knew john was the artist and went looking for the song after 20 yrs because it was in my memory somehow. Man does his best work when he’s asked to write a song for a movie (talkin bout iris). Idk him for any other song. Dude shud’ve been more active maybe 🤔 he does have the talent to be super recognizable I think 🤔 that voice alone is precious💛
FirstxlSxlast I hv to agree wt u dude.&same here I wish I hd been born earlier&grew up as a teen in d90's.the songs from this decade wer superb&REAL..gosh...treasure planet is my fav movie till today&this song...arrgh.I really adore john tho hes around my dad's age nw.& I feel sucky fo bein born in 94
Was born in '93 and when I was seven I seen a movie called Titan AE and a few years later this movie and both of them are movies that I loved in my childhood!! If you haven't seen Titan AE I recommend watching it!!
It is now 2011 and I just saw The Goos last night, they still sound perfect, getting better with age, Johnny is really beautiful, inside and out, liv2luvgoo
This song will always be my favourite, i love the film i love the band. And this always reminds me off my life. Im a singer its all i wanna do it lif, but no one understands, its so hard to get it through to your parents. When ever im down i always listen to this.And it cheers me back up. :)
Two things: 1. THIS NEEDS MORE VIEWS, AS IN OVER 1,000,000 2. Anyone see the dislike bar? Because I don't. Those 2 people must listen to crappy mainstream.
i'm not a goo goo dolls fan,. but in my personal opinion this is one of the best song written ever... yes i know that musicly this song is very simple , no "solo" no "technic" no "whatever" and ok actually this song it's lyrically simple too. but this song hit your soul.

Facts
“This is Disney?”
“This is what’s Disney’s supposed to be”.
This guy had rough childhood. Both parents died when he was 15 and 16, only had his sisters. Clearly this music came from his soul. Written for Jim, a boy who only wanted a father who was never present, and once abandoned him for good.
This comment made me cry for real 😭
Likely never would have become the singer songwriter he is today if not for his emotional suffering. He decided to become who he is
Watched Treasure planet today for the first time today. This song came on and instantly said loud...."Wait! Is that the Goo Goo Dolls?" Loved the film and this song. Real late 90s - early 00s nostalgia
The most underrated Disney song and movie 💙🖤💙🖤💙
0% nude
0% BullSh*t
0% Bad Words
100% Talent
Dunkey Jack I can't enough of songs like this one. Especially this one.
it's a disney song.
100% sexy without showing anything except talent and a gorgeous smile
It’s from treasure planet
100% goth
His voice is PERFECTION! :)
yeah!!!!! is great!!!!!!
John Rzeznik has one of the purest voices I have ever heard, nothing outrageous, just pure.
My all time favourite song. Such a shame the Goo Goo Dolls never seem to perform it live, I'd love to hear John's take on it 15 years later.
JASJamie1 might infringe some copyright with Disney, maybe?
Possibly, but Disney are usually pretty good with letting artists keep the songs that they write and record for them. I'd guess it's simply a matter of him feeling no-one remembers this song and wants to hear it, or maybe it's just that this is not technically a Goo Goo Dolls song.
Yeah I'd love to here him talk about the song now
I think it’s because it’s a John Rzeznik single, not goo goo dolls :o
@@Zoeythekeyblademaster Definately a possibility. But sometimes he does solo shows (without Robbie), still never this song. Gotta think there is something more to it.
2018 and im still here..

I think so too!
I’m a Japanese high school student.
I’m given power by this song!!
yeah this is an amazing song thank you Johnny Rzeznik!!
@@nako717 hola nako como estas ? 👍😁how you doin bro
Life of a struggling young person that strives for notice and acceptance all wrapped into a song.
Rediscovering this song 16 years later. Goddamn.
I miss the old Disney Channel Surfers.
171QA yes me too 😢😢Now they replaced all that by shit shows and fucking comedies .
171QA I sadly never knew this was a thing! I mean I use to watch Kim possible lilo and stich and old shows like that and some of the 2005-8 but I never saw anything like this!!!
I use to watch treasure planet as a kid a ton!
I've been listening to this song since I was 7 years old. I am still listening to it now as a favorite. I'm 18 now. The song and movie is amazing
Tony Nguyen I'm just now graduating and this song is such a nostalgic blast for me. I'm 18 now but still listening and singing all the words like I did when I was a little kid watching treasure planet. I guess what I'm trying to say here is thanks for sharing this with me man.
Im right there with you both, this song is a treasure to me
treasure planet!
Are u still listening to this till now ?
30 years old & I’m Still Heeeere!
2019 .. I'm still here.. Broken but trying .. To be here...
Hold on. You got this
My wife was struggling through chemo and this song helped her so much, im still here.
Treasure Planet brought me here.
Highly underrated movie, am I right?
Yeah dude. I saw the movie yesterday. Omg that was a great childhood :)
yeah dude..
Poging Dotcom yes
Matrix Revelutions brought me here
This song saved me from myself when I was 17 years old. Johnny Rzeznik is a genius. There is so much emotion in his music
I was 18. This was my song too. 💕😥 #brokenbutnotdefeated 🤘
still one of the best live ever
1:06 give it a good listen
I'm still here *2019*
Oh yea bro bro
2025 here
2021
Lucky people who didn't know they were lucky people. Love this performance
I miss the 90 and early 20's Disney channel days :(
It's not early 20's early 20's is like 1920 or 2020 it's early 00's
drifter4training thanks for clearing that up for us, Jesus

No playback, no autotune, no backing track... Man I miss the days when musicians were actually talented and had to put in years of practice to get on a stage.
This one of Jonny's best songs and so underrated!
10 years later and I'm Still Here.

‘You got the makings of greatness in you’

Sang this for a choir solo, one of my favorites
he has such great emotion in his voice. I've listened to a lot of covers and they all miss the emotion behind the lyrics and it really makes the covers subpar even though they sing great.
I just keep watching Treasure Planet over and over again. And I listen to this song everyday since 2002!
I haven’t heard much of this of this lad recently but I hope he’s living his best life. Thanks for the memories.

Love John Rzeznik 👏 this song is one of my fondest childhood memories.
2020 and I'm still here.
I am a question to the world
Not an answer to be heard
Or a moment that's held in your arms
And what do you think you'd ever say?
I won't listen anyway, you don't know me
And I'll never be what you want me to be
And what do you think you'd understand?
I'm a boy, no, I'm a man
You can't take me and throw me away
And how can you learn what's never shown?
Yeah, you stand here on your own
They don't know me 'cause I'm not here
And I want a moment to be real
Wanna touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belong
And how can the world want me to change?
They're the ones that stay the same
They don't know me 'cause I'm not here
And you see the things they never see
All you wanted I could be
Now you know me and I'm not afraid
And I wanna tell you who I am
Can you help me be a man?
They can't break me as long as I know who I am
And I want a moment to be real
Wanna touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belong
And how can the world want me to change?
They're the ones that stay the same
They can't see me but I'm still here
They can't tell me who to be
'Cause I'm not what they see
Yeah, the world is still sleepin'
While I keep on dreaming for me
And their words are just whispers
And lies that I'll never believe
And I want a moment to be real
Wanna touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belong
And how can they say I never change?
They're the ones that stay the same
I'm the one now 'cause I'm still here
I'm the one 'cause I'm still here
I'm still here, I'm still here, I'm still here
That guy is sooo classs!!! He is an amazing singer songrwriter! I wish they would tour the UK. They don't do UK tours very often! I love the GOO GOO DOLLS! saw them live two years ago in Dublin. THEY WERE BRILLIANT LIVE!!!!
always loved johnny rzeznik's voice!!!
bring the 90's back!!! the music was SO much better!
Ugh Disney channel will never be the same again! i miss the old Disney channel some shows are ok but nothing beats the older Disney channel. After 2006 and when Raven ended it all went down-hill.
This was a great live performance
This is a disney song that got more sense in the lyrics then most songs now day
This song is my blueprint for everything I hope for my son's journey to manhood.
i luv his hair and everything
This song comes at such a powerful point In the film
Come back once a year to relive the good old days
The first chorus hits like a truck. "They dont know me, cause im not here" simply brilliant
2019 and im still here

Jedadiah Liskey if you watch the movie Treasure planet you understand the lyrics
Wow. Back when songs had nice lyrics, the singers had talent and there was no auto tune.
This was the early 2000’s.... pop music was auto-tuned and a lot of them had no talent. If you know where to look, music like this hasn’t disappeared
@@nolanperry3790 shh, you'll shatter his nostalgia blindness
This video emits early 2000 energy.
One of my favorite childhood movies and a favorite song that never gets old
His hair is as fabulous as this song. :3
No matter how many people put me down and said I was nothing this all makes me understand why I’m still here
The best thing Disney could do right now today is make a live action version of Treasure Planet with no changes to script and plot
My favourite Disney film is treasure planet so underrated and I'm a massive goo goo dolls fan and I love this song just amazing I'm still here 2019

Two things:
