i slept across Travis in prison for 9 months, he has a beautiful soul! the only reason he is and was in prison is bc of his drug addiction, he was nice and giving to every person he met. he took so much time to talk to me and he really showed me things that i never thought i could find myself. he is a deep and loving human being. i love you Travis, your friend and once fellow victim of society, Isaac Gabriel Kennedy.
@@cheesecakemafia8638 Louisville Ky or Jeffersonville IN as that is where Meeks formed the band. Jeffery is full of crap unless he was in Arizona Or Maine, Not sure of any Travis arrests locally? I met Todd Whitener and he taught music for a while at Mom's Music in Louisville. I know the Mom's music people as played with some of them in the '80s or knew them. The Maxwell brothers.
This is the guy in the video shaving his head and trashing the hotel room. I've been travs best friend since we were 10 years old. Yeah he hit a rough patch but he never wanted to sound like AIC or any other band. He always wanted to do hid own thing with his own sound and he did not like being compared to other bands or singers. But his dad and other managers ripped him off for tons of money and he fell into a deep depression which of course brought about drugs. But travis does not have a big head or ego at least not anymore. He has humbled himself plenty over the years and is currently at rock bottom sitting in Prison up in Putnam correctional facility in Indiana. He has been clean for a while and if any non-hater true fans are on here know that travis has already wrote and recorded the Purple, blue and Gold albums, all which no one has heard yet but myself and very few others and they by far his best works. He is a real talent and wrote every lyric and note on all of his albums so next time some ignorant ass wants to bash him just remember, he had a million bucks when he was 16 years old just for making his own music and he sky rocketed to fame and fortune after that and was asked by the remaining members of The Doors to play two songs in LA back in 2000 Plus Velvet Revolver asked him to audition before they chose Scott Waylan -R. I. P. - BUT there is a lot of songs travis has on movie soundtracks and other projects he's done that most people dont even know about. Yes, I'm taking up for my friend and he will be back when he gets out of this funk he's been in and lets not kick the dude when he's down. Thats just bad taste and pretty pathetic.
+Levi Sullivan alot of us get drug down the wrong rd. its killer your standing behind him,hope he gets the help he needs,is he from indiana,my daughter lives in cloverdale
Tony Roberts man that sucks dude,i hope the best for him,done been down that rd.been free for 25 years,once they get you in the system they try like hell to keep you there.i live in indiana myself,served my time in n.carolina,fucking sucked being so far from home,but made some good friends and one of my closest friends i have ever known came out of the situation so it was't all bad,still sucked.
Great to hear he is clean coming from a recovering addict myself. As for people bashing him, it's great you're sticking up for him but people will be assholes 24/7 on social media. Good luck helping Travis and hope he can stay clean once he is free. It's the hardest thing to do...
Levi Sullivan , well said Levi, addiction sucks, those who have never been there are totally wrong for judging. You're a great friend for standing by him, I had a few stand by me in my time of need as well. Best of luck to both of you and can't wait to hear more of Travis's music.
I just heard it on the local Kansas City radio today and it unlocked so many memories. I was just a boy when this song peaked. I'm now 31 and I truly appreciate this band even more! Timeless album
Taking guitar lessons from Todd Whitener was honestly one of the most memorable moments of my life. I explained to him that this album got me through some of my hardest moments in life. The gratitude he showed me for that was something I haven't seen in any other human. He taught me this entire album front to back. We fell out of touch because he moved to Nashville, but Todd changed my life by teaching me this album and the joy it brought him to see someone a generation younger appreciate his creative output. This album is so fucking near and dear to my heart and it always will be.
@@scottburden9798 this was at Moms Music on Mellwood back in 2011-2012. Todd helped strengthen my love for my biggest passion which is music. In teaching me his work, he gave me something I will always appreciate as long as I am alive.
The 90s was a mf MAGICAL time music videos, music, pop culture, movies, almost ANY genre of music even if you didn't particularly like that genre you gotta admit A LOT of random ass music was bangin...you gotta admit if you're a 90s kid like me ('91 here) you're proud as a Mf to witness it growing up
Bro, I was going into my 30's, turned 30 in 94, and even after having grown up with all THE ORIGINAL CLASSIC ROCK, the 90s were fucking EPIC- it was like all of a sudden, you heard these cool little ditties here n there, and saw some obscure little Band live at some College or lil Dive Bar, and you could just FEEL something BIG was gonna happen, and then BAM, just like you said, GOOD COOL ASS BAD ASS MUSIC WAS JUST EVERYWHERE- Genres I hated, before, were suddenly poppin with COOL SHIT, and Rock and "Alternative" seemed to be pumpin out NEW INSTANT CLASSICS that were every bit as Bad Ass as ANY of the REAL Original Classics.. I even started to think of it as Classic Rock, Part 2, Hahaha, cos thats what it was like. Like, groundbreaking New Awesomeness every Week, it seemed... You ain't wrong. It was a RARE TIME- just as the 60s and the Original Wave was, so were the 90s- and some following in the footsteps, and some pushing even further, and some going in completely NEW directions, with completely new styles.. it was truly truly EPIC, in every sense of that very overused word, hahaha- I am just SOOOO THANKFUL I was there for BOTH Huge Waves..as well as the 80's Wave, too, which was also awesome...
@@steelblueflame I agree with everything you said except the 80s part lol I think the 80s were so cringe now the late 80s I don't mind but everyone has their own tastes I just wish i was a preteen in the mid to late 90s bc I think I would appreciate it that much more
I am 59 years old but have the heart of classic rock. I had not heard this song until a local hard rock station started playing it. I love the bass rhythms in this tune...and using the acoustic in the bridge was genius...gave the mind a little break from the heart pumping bass...great job guys! As for Travis...hang in there dude...show them how reform works well..keep writing your great rhythms and use encouraging lyrics to show there is only one way of darkness into Light...and that’s up!
Carrey, I'm 33 and I grew up with Days of the New. My kids listen to them with me, nothing like going back to my childhood and just escaping the past 21 years
i feel so bad for him...he lived in an apartment complex one building away fro me in'94 when i was 12 and we would listen to their rehearsals but within the first two hrs the cops were called...travis was a good dude...he always made conversation with the neighbors, myself and my aunt...i heard shelf in the room before it came out as a single...i remember the jams putting together that track but i almost passed out a year and a half later, hearing that song on MTV (when they were still all about music vids) i was like "i know travis!"
Strange that it has no views bc this song was at number 1 on the modern rock chart for the longest amount of time in the whole decade of the 90s(16 weeks!)
Gotta love the guys toe ring!! I miss the days of toe rings, eyebrow piercings and lip piercings. People pierce the weirdest places now! But each to their own 🖤

wow, tyler? tyler davis? is that you bro? tyler davis from CHS? your remember when we went down in the wrestling room and shot up heroin for a week on winter break and just banged and listened to this song all day. aw man, those were the good ole days now.

It's 2022. I'm 30. This song was very much part of my childhood thanks to my mother. Also my first concert with Creed. Here I am jamming this song on my acoustic guitar along with the music, smiling ear to ear, singing with my mother at our dining room table. I wish moments like this lasted forever. ❤️
Saw them open for Metallica at the Meadowlands stadium in New Jersey. I heard this song and it just stuck with me. I believe he was 17 at the time and kept thinking what the hell was going through this kids head playing in front of a packed football stadium. That is pure talent, I'd thought they'd be around a long time. Great song, it's on my Spotify liked songs, and when it comes on, the volume is on max.
I was working full time at toys R Us when I heard these guys, for a second I thought it was Eddie vedder or Chris Cornell, till I looked over at the tele, I'm like "these guys rock fuxing brilliant"👍🏻🎸💯. When mtv was good and music. Life was so good back then. I miss the 90s. 🙏🏻😕
Yes exactly. Since I am not Gen X and since I also didn't begin a metal journey until age 15, there are many bands who's history or non-musical signatures I didn't know until recently, so the reason I came to this song on RUclips today, being a band that has a small catalog isn't mentioned much etc., I came to check whether this band was also Eddie Vedder, as he was apparently known for "being baritone", although you'd never know that by listening to Pearl Jam songs.
@@davedaring9823 right on mate 💯👍🏻🎸 to this day I always hear Eddie when Travis sings..lol.. I love this band still. I never got to see them. I wish I did. I did see stp and rhcp they were great.
You know it's legendary when this song has been on the radio my entire life. 2024 and I still seek it on RUclips to blast. These dudes are pretty cool man.
I've been repeatedly listening to this song for the past day and a half. I really don't know why I'm doing that. It's just so catchy and it sounds really good. And it's gonna be stuck in my head for a week or two
One of my favorite songs when I was a teenager. Make me go back to those days when you spent hours in front of the tv with the VCR remote ready to record the video from MTV. Lol
I have always loved this song. I was born in 1980 and always loved a lot of songs especially this one that I never want to stop hearing. Plus he's gorgeous and I would love to touch him all over until I feel his touch. So this one song I listened to for the rest of my life
True story...as a former Jehovah's Witness ( I'll burn that shit to the ground now!), I remember just moving back to my home state of KY, down and out. Just lost a 3 month old son and left NY in a shitty, beat-up Ford truck with the flapping rear bed sides bungee-corded together to hold my belongings...rained all the way down. I heard this song on the radio and it blew me the fuck away! Who still plays acoustic guitar like that!?? and the lyrics are so goddamned real. I think I remember that Travis was recording somewhere in Louisville. I could be wrong...but man did his stuff touch me! There are only a few people in this life that can articulate and send across personal pain that resonates on so many levels. When Chris Cornell ended it, it almost sent me onto the same path. The sheer desperateness of it all made no sense to me. Travis is one of those rare few artists of whom I've collected. With that being said, I will say this about all of the shining ones until I die...no one will ever fully understand the Artist. Sometimes, self-destruction is only a Phoenix' way of rising from the ashes.
he's doing well these days and laying low out west in Arizona. I hope this message finds you and finds you well. I will ride out to see my friend and I'm not letting any lockdown, flu virus, or anything else stop me. Travis is well and just enduring this strange as hell time as the rest of us. Of course he is doing it in his own way... lol The intervention episode was rough and the following years more rough and then rougher. Now, with a lot of trial and error, he's learning and loving himself again. Thanks for your concern and I miss just staying up all night listening to him jam out on the guitar and sing like nobody exists.. Some really awesome songs that nobody has ever heard. He's one of a kind, that fucker. But he knows it too. ha! Asshole! That's for you bro if you happen to see this message.. lol dick. 😩🤣😂
@@milk-qr4pk well I’m sitting in Perth Western Australia right now and I’m still listening to him and I think he’s a pretty talented guy. I wish him all the best xxx
I'm pretty sure this song is about standing up for yourself. Not beating women or children. "Once you touch me, I wont let it go", "Now I stand". Glad we cleared that up. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I disagree, he had more of Layne Staley if anything. Cornell is much more of a technical power belter, Layne was the more low, growling, soul-filled downer rocker.
Sky Edge Really? To me it sounds like a cheap rip-off of an acoustic Alice In Chains, just another attempt to keep the grunge fire live, even though it died on April 5 1994.
They were always one of my favorite groups. Others didn't seem to know or like them, but to me they were and are still ONE OF THE BEST GROUPS OF THEIR TIME.
I have a signed CD from these guys. And the comment about this guy being such a nice person was my experience with them. I spoke them years ago on my space. They are so nice to their fans.
Grunge will not die as long as I’m around. This guy reminds me so much of brother who died from heroin. Looks weirdly like him. I empathize with the grungy angst these singers express. They express what I feel! In what I can’t put into words.
I jammed this tune the second a post on Facebook reminded me of this band & their legacy. They weren't around nearly long enough, and we were gifted with what they gave us musically. I can listen to their first LP cover to cover, and not many bands ever achieved that with me...... a few, at best.
I Think About The Silverchair Singer Who Was 14 When They Became Famous And Travis Was 16 To Me He Looks Like He Was In His 20's Amazing Singer Only Got Into Them In September But It Grew On Me In October I'm Experiencing Great Music That People Have Been Listening To For A Long Time!.
I remember seeing ads for this album on MuchMusic when I was....god, 9 or 10 years old. I had no concept of grunge or anything like that. Watching it now aged 34. Great video. These kids were really gifted.
I am so glad I came across this band because their music is absolutely beautiful and it is tragic that the lead singer went down the road he did!! I just wish we could get more music from them!!
Singer and songwriter, Travis Meeks, struggled with responsibility and sobriety which caused Days Of The New much internal conflict. The band went through several member changes and never quite got their act together. However, several of Meek's songs found commercial success, including this one, unfortunately often being mistakenly attributed to Stone Temple Pilots.
I thought it was STP for years, lol... but it was a Signature Song of the 90s, you didn't go a Day without hearing it on the Radio or in a Bar or on a Jukebox somewhere... It's one of those songs that you hear and instantly go.. Ahhh MAN- the 90s !! ;-)
Видеоклипы
Still thinking that the 90's were 10 years ago.
they may as well be, nothing of note has happened in the last 10 years. 2010-2020 won't be remembered fondly by anyone other than nitwits
"That song came out like 10 years ago... wait, 15... 20... 22... I'm so old..."
LMFAO... Yup
I still think that the 00s were fewer than 10 years ago
Migraine boy
i slept across Travis in prison for 9 months, he has a beautiful soul! the only reason he is and was in prison is bc of his drug addiction, he was nice and giving to every person he met. he took so much time to talk to me and he really showed me things that i never thought i could find myself. he is a deep and loving human being. i love you Travis, your friend and once fellow victim of society, Isaac Gabriel Kennedy.

Hell ya man🤟🏼

You sound like you must have been his gay lover
@@robertg.durant8489 Yep, you caught me! I am now trans.
I listened to this song for 15 years. Now I'm 30 watching the music video for the 1st time ever
One of the best acoustic guitar riffs iv ever heard in my 29 years of living
Mate first time I heard this I was in awe. Love the acoustic heavy sound,real music!
3/4ths of the band (singer fired them all) went on to form Tantric. Similar if you like the musical style and they have some awesome songs.
You need to listen to more Mississippi delta blues then! But yeah this song ROCKS
I absolutely agree and I'm 65
Solo is EPIC!!

People do not realize how often this song was on the radio. Multiple times per hour. I was insane
Yes those were the days
Thank God for RUclips because the radio was insane especially out here in Northeast Texas songs on super repeat
I just heard it on the local Kansas City radio today and it unlocked so many memories. I was just a boy when this song peaked. I'm now 31 and I truly appreciate this band even more! Timeless album

Introduced my 18 year old college student son to this sing today and he’s already spreading it around Ole Miss campus.

i am 60 years old ands I have just shit my pants... thank you guys
Same here bro 61, my friend's son plays 12 string and plays this song perfectly.
Still listening and still fucking loving the acoustic solo
This guy reminds me of a mixture between Jim Morrison, Layne Staley, and Chris Cornell. It's haunting!
Conrad Gonzales I agree!
Karen Grayson His singing is very Morrison influenced.
reminds me of chris cornell
Conrad Gonzales just watched this guy on intervention ...hopefully he gets the help he needs
Matt Terk
I seen that episode a few years ago when my teacher showed it to the class. I can't remember the end though
This song kicks ass! Shame that this band couldn't become bigger. I hope Travis is doing ok🙏
Yup! Travis just finished rehab. Completely sober, and hoping to resume music soon
and shelf in the room. needs to plug in xoxo
Travis was the reason they tanked
Yes and no yes because of his obvious drug addiction and no because at the time this was released grunge music was phasing out
I'm a (relatively) old dude at 60 but still rocking out to this song.
This song deserves more views
Blaze Gravity for real
i feel so bad for him...he lived in an apartment complex one building away fro me in'94 when i was 12 and we would listen to their rehearsals but within the first two hrs the cops were called...travis was a good dude...he always made conversation with the neighbors, myself and my aunt...i heard shelf in the room before it came out as a single...i remember the jams putting together that track but i almost passed out a year and a half later, hearing that song on MTV (when they were still all about music vids) i was like "i know travis!"
stephanie reeves What an interesting story!
Strange that it has no views bc this song was at number 1 on the modern rock chart for the longest amount of time in the whole decade of the 90s(16 weeks!)
So bad... Really top performances in that era... Id like to see them here in Lafayette myself.. Maybe it'll be worth getting out of the house for..
Damn i just heard this song 10 minutes ago ..guess i found a good reason to appreciate this artist....this song is fire!
I've always loved this music video
Didn’t ask
It’s a very good music video
@Marvin Morawski ok
i always wondered why he shaved his head and approached that curtain at the end. what is behind that curtain?

perfect song perfect arrangement perfect performance. nothing to possibly improve.
Hello Heidi, how are you doing
this was radio fill (?!) kill me now.....
It's 2022. I'm 30. This song was very much part of my childhood thanks to my mother. Also my first concert with Creed. Here I am jamming this song on my acoustic guitar along with the music, smiling ear to ear, singing with my mother at our dining room table. I wish moments like this lasted forever. ❤️
Saw them open for Metallica at the Meadowlands stadium in New Jersey. I heard this song and it just stuck with me. I believe he was 17 at the time and kept thinking what the hell was going through this kids head playing in front of a packed football stadium. That is pure talent, I'd thought they'd be around a long time. Great song, it's on my Spotify liked songs, and when it comes on, the volume is on max.
This came on the radio the other day and made me so happy. :)
Samita Sarkar when this song comes on, I think we all get a little angry inside too!
+Ryan Morrison someone has a problem
Dillon Dean Totally 😆
Travis Meeks was 17 when they recorded this song
Word really? Didn’t know that
I think he was 14 when he wrote it, they opened for Metallica when he was 17
February 21, 2020 at 2:36 am after almost 15 years of searching I finally found this song. The funny thing is I wasn't even looking for this song.
some of the best guitar production ever...the strings are so crisp
I love that voice!
already like the tune!
Looks like we have a mutual interest in this band, lol. Good to see you again
Don’t look now but there’s a Pain Elemental right behind you 💀💀💀💀
KILLER BAND...WAS JAMMING WHEN THEY FIRST CAME OUT AND STILL DIG EM
I was working full time at toys R Us when I heard these guys, for a second I thought it was Eddie vedder or Chris Cornell, till I looked over at the tele, I'm like "these guys rock fuxing brilliant"👍🏻🎸💯. When mtv was good and music. Life was so good back then. I miss the 90s. 🙏🏻😕
Yes exactly. Since I am not Gen X and since I also didn't begin a metal journey until age 15, there are many bands who's history or non-musical signatures I didn't know until recently, so the reason I came to this song on RUclips today, being a band that has a small catalog isn't mentioned much etc., I came to check whether this band was also Eddie Vedder, as he was apparently known for "being baritone", although you'd never know that by listening to Pearl Jam songs.
@@davedaring9823 right on mate 💯👍🏻🎸 to this day I always hear Eddie when Travis sings..lol.. I love this band still. I never got to see them. I wish I did. I did see stp and rhcp they were great.
He sounds exactly like Lane Staley of Alice in chains. 100 percent
45yo and still one of my all time favorite bands from the 90's!!!!
69 years old and its 1997!
RUclips the only place where GOOD music still exists.
The only place where we can go back to 90s when music wasn't crap
Well that's just nonsense.
@@jasonbader2447 there are plenty better music than this today
@Emma James 21 Pilots is a terrible band
Emma James are you serious? 21 Pilots is a band that only 12 year olds like. They’re not good.
Haven't heard this song in at least 5 years, had me singing every lyric within the first line. Classic 90s rock... gotta love it
Looking at Travis's life really hits home, my life has been alot like that. Praise GOD that it isn't like that no more!!! Keep your head up Travis
Still one of my all-time favorite bands. I saw Travis on the show Intervention. I hear he has his shit together now ! Way to go man ! 🙏❤
Wow i miss this sound .. so different of you see nowdays
Not many acoustic riffs like these anymore and it's missed. A BIG middle finger to all those who watch a video just to unlike it. Rock-On!
I'm today years old, hearing this for the first time. My mind is blown! Such talent!
My god, Travis has such an amazing voice!
Just discovered this band - I like this a lot! His voice reminds me of Layne Staley & Chris Cornell
And Scott Weiland as well.
guy was only 18 when he did this!
Connor G nope he was 17
Connor G yeah... He was 17
sprdvx phew variables, autism, getting big at so young, drugs, family, etc caused Travis issues.
Connor G no he was 16
Being young w a bunch of sycophants handing you everything and crystal meth.
You know it's legendary when this song has been on the radio my entire life. 2024 and I still seek it on RUclips to blast. These dudes are pretty cool man.
I was 17 years old when I first hear this song, each time I listen to this song I get back in time to that moment in my life
Still listening to this in 2016.
OHHHHH
exactly
Thurman Merman.... Eugene? is this you?
Still listening in 2017 😏
classic song...i remember when first hearing this song how it reminded me of Alice in Chains unplugged...
I Love this band, my man Travis!!!
Heard this song on Sirius XM. This is my man's music. I'm totally into R&B. But this song is Cool!😎
this song is so slept on
Thats my dads voice right there, every time i listen to this i think of him and my dads amazing voice. RIP buddy 12-18-2016
Your Dad is Travis? But he is alive.
I've been repeatedly listening to this song for the past day and a half. I really don't know why I'm doing that. It's just so catchy and it sounds really good. And it's gonna be stuck in my head for a week or two
When this song comes on the radio you already know I'm speeding 😂
This still plays on the radio?
One of my favorite songs when I was a teenager. Make me go back to those days when you spent hours in front of the tv with the VCR remote ready to record the video from MTV. Lol
I did the exact same thing. I only got most of it though lol. Fun days
Took me forever to find this song, I hadn't heard it in 15 years and couldn't remember the correct words. It just randomly popped in my head
WINNING!!!!!
I have always loved this song. I was born in 1980 and always loved a lot of songs especially this one that I never want to stop hearing. Plus he's gorgeous and I would love to touch him all over until I feel his touch.
So this one song I listened to for the rest of my life
True story...as a former Jehovah's Witness ( I'll burn that shit to the ground now!), I remember just moving back to my home state of KY, down and out. Just lost a 3 month old son and left NY in a shitty, beat-up Ford truck with the flapping rear bed sides bungee-corded together to hold my belongings...rained all the way down. I heard this song on the radio and it blew me the fuck away! Who still plays acoustic guitar like that!?? and the lyrics are so goddamned real. I think I remember that Travis was recording somewhere in Louisville. I could be wrong...but man did his stuff touch me! There are only a few people in this life that can articulate and send across personal pain that resonates on so many levels. When Chris Cornell ended it, it almost sent me onto the same path. The sheer desperateness of it all made no sense to me. Travis is one of those rare few artists of whom I've collected. With that being said, I will say this about all of the shining ones until I die...no one will ever fully understand the Artist. Sometimes, self-destruction is only a Phoenix' way of rising from the ashes.
He absolutely did recording in his place in Louisville! He had a studio in his house!
I wonder how travis is now??? I just recently rewatched his intervention episode.
So talented. I hope he is ok
Me too! His friend wrote a comment 3 years ago saying he's been in jail and not doing well
he's doing well these days and laying low out west in Arizona. I hope this message finds you
and finds you well. I will ride out to see my friend and I'm not letting any lockdown, flu virus, or anything else stop me.
Travis is well and just enduring this strange as hell time as the rest of us. Of course he is doing it in his own way... lol
The intervention episode was rough and the following years more rough and then rougher. Now, with a lot of trial and error, he's learning and loving himself again. Thanks for your concern and I miss just staying up all night listening to him jam out on the guitar and sing like nobody exists.. Some really awesome songs that nobody has ever heard. He's one of a kind, that fucker. But he knows it too. ha! Asshole! That's for you bro if you happen to see this message.. lol
dick. 😩🤣😂
kitty mom jesus is that u in the pic lol
my grandpa is actually his sponsor! he’s coming down to utah to visit us today as far as i know he’s doing good
@@milk-qr4pk well I’m sitting in Perth Western Australia right now and I’m still listening to him and I think he’s a pretty talented guy. I wish him all the best xxx
I miss the 90s
I got a bowl of Cheerios, I wont let them go. Don't you touch me, touch me... I wont let them go! Damn hippies!!
that's friggin funny
I'm pretty sure this song is about standing up for yourself. Not beating women or children. "Once you touch me, I wont let it go", "Now I stand". Glad we cleared that up. Correct me if I'm wrong.
song randomly got stuck in my head the other day lol
I was 17 when this album came out. Glory days.
Travis had some of Chris Cornell. Good to listen to this song again.
Its his brother...
That was my first thought the first time I watched this. Looks so much like him (but he obviously isn't closely related).
A Adu I actually thought Chris Cornell was gonna start singing when I first heard this, it totally sounds like Soundgarden to me
I disagree, he had more of Layne Staley if anything. Cornell is much more of a technical power belter, Layne was the more low, growling, soul-filled downer rocker.
Sky Edge Really? To me it sounds like a cheap rip-off of an acoustic Alice In Chains, just another attempt to keep the grunge fire live, even though it died on April 5 1994.
idk why people hated this band when they came out they aren't even using electric guitars lol. They came out doing their own style.
I never get tired of this song...I just keep listening to it!
I can't overstate how important this album was to me.
Music that stands the test of time..This song is a classic So,many of the songs were..Rock On !!
They were always one of my favorite groups. Others didn't seem to know or like them, but to me they were and are still ONE OF THE BEST GROUPS OF THEIR TIME.
I have a signed CD from these guys. And the comment about this guy being such a nice person was my experience with them. I spoke them years ago on my space. They are so nice to their fans.
Hello there, how are you doing and how is the weather with you
Best Acoustic Rock Album I ever heard!!!!
My dad grew up with Travis and played basketball with him, crazy world we live in
That's so Cool. It's crazy, because my mum and father were both teachers and they had Travis in their classes respectively.
That is sooo cool! I heard one of his teachers was even mentioned on the album.
Where your dad from
Really brings me back 😎
Love his voice
Keep on playing travis ❤
Hello Kristin
OMG his voice is so beautiful
Everyone was flipping beautiful in the '90's.
Grunge will not die as long as I’m around. This guy reminds me so much of brother who died from heroin. Looks weirdly like him. I empathize with the grungy angst these singers express. They express what I feel! In what I can’t put into words.
There's a tiny bit of Soundgarden in the song and in the vocals and that makes it even better. Great song!
Until recently I thought it was sound garden. He even looks similar to chris.
@@DavidGilman-rc3bq Exactly.
songs that never get old....oh look here's one!
Hello Tessa, how are you doing and how is the weather with you
I jammed this tune the second a post on Facebook reminded me of this band & their legacy. They weren't around nearly long enough, and we were gifted with what they gave us musically. I can listen to their first LP cover to cover, and not many bands ever achieved that with me...... a few, at best.
This is my Anthem wayback in '98..
I Think About The Silverchair Singer Who Was 14 When They Became Famous And Travis Was 16 To Me He Looks Like He Was In His 20's Amazing Singer Only Got Into Them In September But It Grew On Me In October I'm Experiencing Great Music That People Have Been Listening To For A Long Time!.
Daniel Johns (Silverchair) is still beautiful to this day. God, I fucking love that man. 🖤
Killer groove, especially considering it's all acoustic. Excellent.
Sounds like Lane Staley and looks like Chris Cornell
I was able to see him play in 2005! One of the best shows I’ve ever been to! Travis’s well years. I wish him love and good vibes in his future!
Beautiful looking dude...his voice his talent..so unique..I love his beautiful music!!!!!!
Days of the new are awesome band from 90's I got them on my iPod touch
I remember seeing ads for this album on MuchMusic when I was....god, 9 or 10 years old. I had no concept of grunge or anything like that.
Watching it now aged 34. Great video. These kids were really gifted.
I am so glad I came across this band because their music is absolutely beautiful and it is tragic that the lead singer went down the road he did!! I just wish we could get more music from them!!
Havnt heard this song in 10 years . Thank u radio !
I wish they made more songs like this. Great album but none of there songs are as hard as this one. Great song
The last two decades make the 90's look like the golden years.
flying cigar Indeed!
Fell in love the minute i saw those baby blues.
Those eyes 😍😍😍
They don't make music like this anymore.
If you’re watching in 2018, you still like music, and miss it.
Hello Trey, join 'Dancing With The Wind' page on Facebook. Spread the word!
I LOVE THIS SONG !!! I CAN LISTEN TO IT ALL DAY EVERY DAY
Singer and songwriter, Travis Meeks, struggled with responsibility and sobriety which caused Days Of The New much internal conflict. The band went through several member changes and never quite got their act together. However, several of Meek's songs found commercial success, including this one, unfortunately often being mistakenly attributed to Stone Temple Pilots.
I thought it was STP for years, lol... but it was a Signature Song of the 90s, you didn't go a Day without hearing it on the Radio or in a Bar or on a Jukebox somewhere... It's one of those songs that you hear and instantly go.. Ahhh MAN- the 90s !! ;-)
