Absolutely agree. Voice has matured so much and actually has better range and control. Used to love them back when they were on the ‘college tour’ but now. Damn
This song hits so hard. It was the "our song" for myself and my very best "boy" friend from my childhood/highschool days. (Class of '97 WOO!) For some reason, he was convinced he blew his chance with me and this became his anthem to me. I loved him, but not the way he wanted me to, but still with my entire heart and soul. He loved me unconditionally. He played this song for me no less than 17 times every time we ended up at the same place. (Which happens a lot when you've been bff's with someone for over 25 years) And then, this past September, he died. And this song will forever haunt my memories. He always said I left him far behind, but in the end, he's the one that left me here.
Jeez. This man is so underrated and such a gift to music. I can remember growing up to Candlebox, this album was pivotal in my teenage years, both Far Behind and Cover Me were and still are some of the most deeply moving songs and honestly sometimes they still hurt my heart, but that's what good music does. My only wish is to be able to see Kevin Martin and the band just once before I kick it.
My dad died in 2020 after years of addiction. This song has always been a favorite but it resonates so deeply for me now. Our relationship was damaged for years and fortunately we got to make amends even if it was on his death bed ♥️
Outstanding song! And even more now that I learned he wrote about his friend Andrew Wood! Because the lyrics so fit.! My old friend I have not seen in about 18 years was a huge fan of mother love bone. He introduced me to in about 92’ and was like these guys are the next thing! And for several years I have been a fanatic about the life, personality and the legend of Andy Wood. And the lost soul he was. As unfortunately I myself am one. I guess it’s good that I cannot sing or stick to anything because the truth is I would have followed a similar trail to say the least
I had a tape player in high school believe it or not the tape players used to loop I knew if I pulled that tape I would be ruined for good. so everybody always said when I hear this song it reminds me of high school in your 71 javelin. Good times like everybody else said glad we were there.
Very sad story behind this tune! Hits home for so many including myself,, addiction is real folks, if know someone struggling with it reach out to them and do your best not to watch them fall and crumble 😕
ROB WATERS the sad thing about addiction is I know nobody woulda been able to pull me out of it unless I really wanted to and before my children I didn’t want to but when they came around the love and light they brought into my cold dark world gave me purpose I know had they never existed I wouldn’t anymore either..
Now maybe I didn't mean to treat you bad But I did it anyway And then maybe Some would say your life was sad But you lived it anyway And so maybe Your friends, they stand around, they watch you crumble As you falter to the ground And then someday Your friends, they stand beside as you were flyin' Oh, you were flyin' oh-so high But then someday, people look at you For what they call their own, they watch you suffer Yeah, they hear you calling home And then someday, we could take our time To brush the leaves aside so you can reach us Hey, but you left me far behind Now may-ay-ay-ay-be I didn't mean to treat you oh-so bad But I did it anyway Now I'm saying, but may-ay-ay-ay-be Some would say you're left with what you had But you couldn't share the pain, no, no, no Couldn't share the pain, they watch you suffer Mm Now maybe I could have made my own mistakes But I live with what I've known And then maybe We might share in something great Won't you look at where we've grown Won't you look at where we've gone And then someday comes, tomorrow holds A sense of what I fear for you in my mind As you trip the final line And that cold day when you lost control Shame you left my life so soon, you shoulda told me Hey, but you left me far behind Now may-ay-ay-ay-be I didn't mean to treat you oh-so bad Oh, but I did it anyway Now may-ay-ay-ay-be Some would say you're left with what you had Oh, but you couldn't share the pain, no, no, no, no Oh no Oh no, no, no-no, no Oh, Lord, say Oh, Lord See, I know See, I know But may-ay-ay-ay-be I said may-ay-ay-ay-be Didn't mean to treat you oh-so bad Oh, but I did it anyway, no So m-maybe, now, oh Lord, baby Some would say you're left with what you had But you couldn't share the pain Now I've said, now, times have changed, your friends they come And watch you crumble to the ground They watch you suffer Yeah, they hold you down, hold on down Said maybe love, oh, maybe love Didn't mean to treat you bad But you left me far behind Left me far behind Left me far behind xoxox
i always loved this song, like everyone here. But only quite recently did I learn the whole thing is about Andy Wood. Being a PJ and Temple of the Dog superfan, finding that out gave me big time chills. So much of what came out of Seattle came from the late Andy Wood. If you watch their rehab acoustic concert clip with this song, they talk about it
I'm an artist... but have no rhythm. Like, I can't even clap along with everyone in church. After 20 years of graduating high school I went back to college and just had to drop out of nursing school after 5 semesters of straight A's. I need more out of life than where I'm at. Do you think guitar & vocal lessons would fulfill my needs to get my passion for connecting with people out? I need something more than than my 9 to 5. Amazing cover of my favorite song BTW.

One of my favorite songs from the 90's. Makes me think of the summer of '94. The year I graduated high school.
Me too!
Me 3
Me 4
1994 was a great year.....
You guys are old! I was 97! 😉
This man loved a friend, lost him and wrote it down. Great tribute, awesome tune
I think this guys voice has actually gotten better over time just an absolutely incredible performance bravo
I was just thinking that as I watched for the first time
It has, saw 2 months ago and it was great. Going back this summer for one last time
Little more bluesy dudes got great pipes.
Absolutely agree. Voice has matured so much and actually has better range and control. Used to love them back when they were on the ‘college tour’ but now. Damn
So freaking good. Absolutely incredible. One of the most under-rated and unappreciated bands of the 90's without question!!!!

🙏♥️😢
Wow..
I felt this
Blessings. 😇☮️💕🎤🎸🎶
After all these years, it's still amazing to listen to
Yes it is …it’s just one of the best songs ever and in 20 years when I’m 70 I’ll say the same thing ❤️
And he is still just as phenomenal if not more after all years. What a voice!
Bro, Candlebox is a Masterpiece.
I was there in the 90's...I made it out. 60 today....Could it be any better? Nooooo!!! Sounds perfect!!! The guitar is amazing,..m
Man those licks are clean on that guitar solo. Vocals are out of this world of course.

After all these years this is still one of my all time favorites
😢💔🙏🏾
Prayers for you. May GOD heal
The effects on the original vocal always grated. Listening to this version affirmed what a great voice. Love it
Thank you Candlebox for what you mean to mean and how your music 🎶 impacted my life!
❤
I think this song will forever stand the test of time. It still holds up after so long
This song hits hard, my brother passed away from an overdose, I feel this song immensely
We love the 90's. We are so old;)
Love the many colors of this song.
Very strong, Sad and painful song.
My god this song is incredible
Forever will be my song to ¡my late brother who struggled w/ addiction his whole life . 2/1/68 - 4/2/20
We were left Far behind. This song talks about sadness and Hurts left behind. Sad but true.
Outstanding song! And even more now that I learned he wrote about his friend Andrew Wood! Because the lyrics so fit.! My old friend I have not seen in about 18 years was a huge fan of mother love bone. He introduced me to in about 92’ and was like these guys are the next thing!

I appreciate Kevin and I love the honesty of this song. Also love his voice alot. Great video. Thanks for it.
These guys sound great! I will totally go see them if they come around again.
Even acoustic sounds great
I miss the 90’s
Left me far beehiiiiieeeaaaiiiiiinddd!!
Love this song!!
1965-1970 and 1990-1995 , if no other music was ever created we would be good with those 10 years.
Agreed
I agree
I had a tape player in high school believe it or not the tape players used to loop I knew if I pulled that tape I would be ruined for good. so everybody always said when I hear this song it reminds me of high school in your 71 javelin. Good times like everybody else said glad we were there.

Everyone loved Andy
Still makes my heart burst ♥️
Sings like an angel
Jesus they really don't make em like they used to. Amen Candlebox.
90s music was in a class all by itself... It was epic
My Hubby listens 🎶 to this song 💚
I love it!!
This is awesome. I love this. So glad this was performed in such a phenomenal way. Blast to my high school days. Beautifully performed. Humble kudos.
Stunning! Bravo!
Yes.thank you thank you.
AMAZING !!!
Now maybe
I didn't mean to treat you bad
But I did it anyway
And then maybe
Some would say your life was sad
But you lived it anyway
And so maybe
Your friends, they stand around, they watch you crumble
As you falter to the ground
And then someday
Your friends, they stand beside as you were flyin'
Oh, you were flyin' oh-so high
But then someday, people look at you
For what they call their own, they watch you suffer
Yeah, they hear you calling home
And then someday, we could take our time
To brush the leaves aside so you can reach us
Hey, but you left me far behind
Now may-ay-ay-ay-be
I didn't mean to treat you oh-so bad
But I did it anyway
Now I'm saying, but may-ay-ay-ay-be
Some would say you're left with what you had
But you couldn't share the pain, no, no, no
Couldn't share the pain, they watch you suffer
Mm
Now maybe
I could have made my own mistakes
But I live with what I've known
And then maybe
We might share in something great
Won't you look at where we've grown
Won't you look at where we've gone
And then someday comes, tomorrow holds
A sense of what I fear for you in my mind
As you trip the final line
And that cold day when you lost control
Shame you left my life so soon, you shoulda told me
Hey, but you left me far behind
Now may-ay-ay-ay-be
I didn't mean to treat you oh-so bad
Oh, but I did it anyway
Now may-ay-ay-ay-be
Some would say you're left with what you had
Oh, but you couldn't share the pain, no, no, no, no
Oh no
Oh no, no, no-no, no
Oh, Lord, say
Oh, Lord
See, I know
See, I know
But may-ay-ay-ay-be
I said may-ay-ay-ay-be
Didn't mean to treat you oh-so bad
Oh, but I did it anyway, no
So m-maybe, now, oh Lord, baby
Some would say you're left with what you had
But you couldn't share the pain
Now I've said, now, times have changed, your friends they come
And watch you crumble to the ground
They watch you suffer
Yeah, they hold you down, hold on down
Said maybe love, oh, maybe love
Didn't mean to treat you bad
But you left me far behind
Left me far behind
Left me far behind
xoxox
What a voice.
H.S. Class of ‘99 - The 90’s were the best
97 here.
Luego de tanto años, su voz sigue increíble.
love this song .from North of Brazil
i always loved this song, like everyone here. But only quite recently did I learn the whole thing is about Andy Wood.

THE BEST!!! Come to Brazil, tô São Paulo for a concert, you would sell out 140,000 tickets super fast in any of the stadiums.
Kevin Martin! 😍😍😍
Good Times👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
So excellent! I love ❤ you! Always and forever! I will never leave you far away! Huggggz
Timeless
New crush unlocked 😂😮💨🤦🏻♀️🤘🏻
Kevin sounds great live or on record.
I am trying to play It.
It's ok. My heart's been broken before. Nice.
🔥🔥🔥
Relating back addiction is a bitch remember Andy who hes singing about give mother love bone a listen with out there be no pearl jam
R.I.P. Shane Dog!!
I loved mother lovebone and lead singer Andy who died so young which this song is about. That band eventually became Pearl Jam
🤗💗

I learned this on guitar today. I can't sing though
Tribute song to my nephew who committed suicide ending his life waaay too soon.
Why can't you make new music?
🕉️
Rip Webster...
I didn't mean to treat you so bad...
It gets better with age
Look's like marciano cantero jajaja
They should have stopped playing this song years ago. This was one sad version
Que merda....
Keep trying
Why rushing all the vocal lines, you really lost the voice, take care of those pipes!
wow..... so good... that guitar sound is ...... thank you
