It's so unfortunate that such a gem like this from the 90s goes virtually unnoticed today. But those of us who were there back then share this little secret together.
it smells like chlorine. the swimming pool in town played this a lot that summer. many dives from the high-dive to this one. reminds me of....being free. my kid notices the welling tears when i listen to it. i miss my sister.
These guys are still touring. I saw them earlier this year, and they are still as good as they ever were. They released a record earlier this year with a couple of really great tunes on it it. Killing It has got to be my favorite track on the new album.
The past didn't really have better music. The thing is when you think back to the past and remember music you only remember the memorable music that left an impact on you. You don't remember the shitty music of the past because it sucked. So you are taking this carefully curated list of the very best songs of the past and comparing that to just any old song that happens to come by today. Some of the music of today will also be fantastic and that music will be remembered. But those songs haven't had time to stand the test of time yet. Also when you think back to the best times of your life the music that is playing in those times are by definition going to be the music of the past. The music that is released today cannot be a part of you favorite memories so you romanticize the music of the past and you just the music of the present more harshly. If you were as forgiving with modern music it would be better in your mind. There is great music all around you but because it hasn't been through the same filter that the music of the past has been it is harder to find. All the music of the present you would love is still in the same pile with all the songs you don't like.
Yassss it does!!! I got an earworm for this today, when i met someone named ezra, lol, and have had it on repeat several times now this eve, just lovin it!
Hell yeah dude. A lot of shit I listen to ends up coming from that era. What I would do to relive the era as an adult vs as a kid. Reminds me of my brothers who listened to popular rock or hip hop. With me Riding in the back seat lol
89-2010 imo, though if you ask me there hasn't been a bad year for music from 1937-2014 2015 is when the radio really started to go downhill, though there's still some good artists out there if you look for them
I was in my 20’s. Same age as these guys. The 90’s were the best time to be young. Friends, Seinfeld, The music, alternative, the real world was new. The world tipped on its axis several years ago and hasn’t gone back.
The world has gone to hell in a hand basket lol. The 90s ruled, and we had some great alternative bands in the uk that I followed around the country for nearly three years. Oasis, blur, cast, charlatans, suede, James. Those were the days. 😪😂
When I think of the 90's this is the first song that comes to my mind. It takes me back to a better time of my life. I can vision myself driving in my GEO Tracker listening to this on my way to school. I can feel the heat from the sun touch my face, the enjoyment I had while driving to my friend's house, and the sky seemed so much clearer back then. It was a simpler time back then, you didn't necessarily need the newest car, or designer clothes, students got together at sporting events and the parties on the weekend. I'd give anything to go back, at least for a weekend, and if I would've known then how precious being young meant, I would of cherished more. 💙🤘
We put my Dad in a nursing home and I got his Chevy Tracker -- what a neat little car. I was driving around all day in that car. Yes, it was a more simpler time. Youth is wasted on the young, as they say. I will get another Tracker one day just to honor my Dad.
This is a great track. In the mid to late 90’s I didn’t have a car I walked everywhere and I remember all the songs on the radio at work. I had total control of it and made the crew I worked with rock out everyday and sing those songs in my head till I got back to my apartment and turned the radio on again. Some of them were very trying times but I will never forget the music it’s what pulled me through. Good music is a blessing.
94-95 I was madly in love with a girl. I thought she was the one, truth is it was only physical. We eventually broke up. Months went by and I seen her on the 4th of July. This song has always have a special place in my heart. Also better than Ezra are from the southern Lousiana area..as me also. Nikki if you ever read this: I hope life’s treated you well. We were young and you were good.
I remember going to a concert to see Third Eye Blind and some other bands in New Orleans on Halloween in 1998. I was disappointed because I don't know if Stephan Jenkins was having a bad day but they were terrible. Thankfully BTE came on and absolutely rocked the place. Became a huge fan. They were amazing live.
I wish these guys had been with 3EB when they came to my town in '98. On the other hand, they were here with Eve 6 and both bands were on fire that night.
I remember my first job while in my last year of high school at an upmarket department store in Johannesburg, this CD was released along with Bush 16 Stone, I bought both and still have them...a great time in music history!
I was 21 and stationed in Germany when this album came out. This is one of the few CDs that I would listen to start to finish with no skips. The 90's were great time.
1996 working at Radio Shack part time in the evenings after my full time job. My store had an IBM Aptiva PC on display running a demo and a portion of this video played showing that it was powerful enough to display full video. The video played in a smaller window. Its resolution was probably 320x200 as the Windows 95' standard resolution was probably 640x480 at that time.
@@bobbyjackie Heh, I came in here to leave a similar comment. I remember hanging out at Radio Shack and hearing this coming from the Aptiva speakers. It was part of their multimedia demo so it wasn't the full song but just a snippet but it stuck in my head.
@@LottoBartoLotto Adored is very similarly soothing. Gently is … well it’s certainly in the same key but “soothing” isn’t the 1st thing that comes to mind. 😳 My cousin’s what comes to mind when I hear Slipknot (she was born in the 70’s, and I’ve sort of ended up with a whole bunch of her stuff because it may be too much for the little kiddies). But yeah, I do get how you’d come up with these. Yup. I get it. Good call.
They're still touring. I saw them with about 200 people last summer at a little music festival here in S. Florida. Walked right up to the stage and just grooved, man. Of all the outstanding music of the 90s, and there was a lot of it, these guys were my favorite. Go see them if you get a chance--they still sound great!
This was the first concert i ever went to. I think i was ten, and for some reason was allowed to go with my teenage sister and cousin. Metropol, Pittsburgh, probably 1995. Love that my first concert was so incredibly nineties.
I was at work, when all of a sudden the words "better than ezra" popped in my head, and all I could think of was the "uh huh..." part...don't know where it came from, but I'm glad it popped into my head. I effin' love this song, don't know how I forgot about it.
Looking around the house Hidden behind the window and the door Searching for signs of life But there's nobody home Well, maybe I'm just too sure Or maybe I'm just too frightened by the sound of it Pieces of note fall down, but the letter said Aha, it was good Living with you, aha, it was good Ah-ah-ah-ah-aha it was good Living with you, aha, it was good Ah-ah-ah, good good good good good Sitting around the house Watching the sun trac shadows on the floor Searching for signs of life But there's nobody home Well, maybe I'll call or I'll write you a letter Now maybe we'll see on the fourth of July But I'm not too sure, and I'm not too proud Well I'm not sure, and I'm not too proud to say Aha, it was good Living…
I was 13 when this when this came out and would wait for this to come on MTV so i Could record it with a VCR 😂😂😂 i wish i could go back to those times so much fun
This is the best song that I never think of when I am making my best of life list.... Then I hear it and smack my forehead..... I love this song. One of the best to sing along with driving.
This song’s chorus has been stuck in my head on and off for the last few weeks and I couldn’t for the life of me figure out what the song was! A chance googling of the lyrics finally got me the answer. I was a little too young to appreciate it back in the day (I think I was only 6 or 7 when this song was released...my age was definitely in the single digits back then), but hey...good ‘90s music just has a great nostalgic feeling to it, right?
The very first BTE song that I know. Frequently played in rock stations in the Philippines in the mid 90s. My other two sisters also loved it when being played.👍✌️🤘😉
This song sounds and looks like the 90’s! What a time to be a teenager, when all the music from the 90’s was new! And now I must be blind-and deaf, because i can’t see or hear it anymore 😞 Anyone 35 and older will know what i’m talking about
My 12yo daughter is a great fam of 90s music... This taste for good music is something I've inculcate since she was a baby... Larga vida a la buena música!!!
Saw them at the Copper Dragon in Carbondale Illinois many years ago, they were amazing live. Kevin had someone in the front row scream into some sort of box then used it as an instrument in the song. They stuck around for autographs after the show. Great thing about smaller venues.
It's cool knowing these guys are from Louisiana, where I used to visit every summer years back to visit family. Eventually we moved to the Baton Rouge area for one year and my dad and I got to see Better Than Ezra in New Orleans in 2009.
Holy shit, I 100% forgot this band and song ever existed. I just happened to come across their name in a Wikipedia article about another band where it mentioned that they had once supported Better Than Ezra. This was one of the first albums I ever bought. Holds up pretty well!
At every concert I’ve ever been too I scream “Freebird” an idea given to me by Beavis and Butthead. At their concert in Memphis he was the only musician who has ever reacted to it. He said, “There’s one in every crowd.” One of my greatest concert memories.
When this song came out i was 4 years old and i remember my uncle would play it every single day but still don't know the title, and then he would play it again a while ago then asked him what's the title of the song and now i wont stop playing the song
Just saw them in Minne. Didn't even play this. Got to hear purple rain again though played by the millionth artist coming thru Minneapolis. Thanks for that original thought. So boss.
I loved this band and this is one of my favorite songs from them, unfortunately most people today don't know this band but a Kid like me who Grown-up with Modern 2000's Rock Music I adore this gem so much.
I'm now 37 and I was 15 when this was released. I "Really" feel you. If only we can have wishes. One thing that is great about music, it can flood memories that we thought were forgotten. RIP the 90's, but will be in our hearts til the grave.
Been trying to find this song for weeks!! Finally!!! All I could remember was "awah awah ah wah ah, in the skuw" and "yeah you look so good". Lmao Google isn't helpful when that is all you have! I kept singing those same 2 lines to my bf who was starting to think I lost it. The beat/rhythm were in my mind so clear though! So glad I finally found it and cleared up that I was way off on the lyrics. Funny how once it started playing I knew ALL the words (besides mishearing a few😄)...well that would have been helpful 🤣
This song was ahead of it's time. I remember it came out in the later 90s. Either way, miss these great songs from the 90s; the last great decade.......
In '97, after breaking up with my girlfriend, only to deeply regret it, each time I heard this song on the radio while working, it brought me to tears. This is coming from a veteran crustpunk/metalhead.
When this came out it hit the charts immediately. It was kind of like a contrast and a breath of fresh air to the fallout of grunge, Cobain's death etc. It was upbeat, heck the name of the song was "Good". Reminds of a girl I had a crush on in high school.
I remember thinking back (90's) how amazing music would sound in 10-15 years time, with many great songs like this produced. Little did I know music sounded at its best then!!
Looking for this song. All I knew was " walk on and it's good". This popped up🎉🎉🎉🎉this is it
It's so unfortunate that such a gem like this from the 90s goes virtually unnoticed today. But those of us who were there back then share this little secret together.

Or so the German shepherds want you to believe
Life will never be filled with feelings that 90s music gives. Just a simpler time with better music.
Thanks to social media, youth culture is ruined.
Way, way, way better music.
You might say we’re desperately wanting more of this music
The dude who wrote this song has written songs for James Blunt, Taylor Swift, Dierks Bentley amongst others.

How did you fuck this up? Aha, it was good, growing up in the 90's.
👍😎👍
Amen to that!
Not at all
I'm 65 my kids were born in 88 and 89 I grew up with them
When I was a kid, my dad said it sounded like he says “it’s good living with your warthog” and I’ve never been able to unhear it.
damn you!!!!!
What the fuck man... Goddammit!
deym..why did i read this
Awwww.. Shucks!!
thanks now i cant unhear it :(
Isn't it great when a simple but classic bass line can drive a rock song like this? A real 90s gem.
Pachelbel's Canon chord progression.
Great chunky sound, in an arrangement that gives the bass some time "up front."

I miss this era so much. I loved my childhood in the 90s. I was 8 when this song came out.
My teens hear this song frequently 😂
Man, I vividly remember this playing on the radio in 1995. Such an amazing year for music.
felt so good when u read comments and u r also part of it. no school like the old school.. awesome 90s!!
Well said.

very true
I never did shrooms but this looks so psychedelic like a 🐙 octopus
89-96 arguably the best period of rock music across all genres, alt, grunge, punk-rock, metal...

The 1980s were monumental.
Yes and the movies were just as "Good".
89-2010 imo, though if you ask me there hasn't been a bad year for music from 1937-2014
2015 is when the radio really started to go downhill, though there's still some good artists out there if you look for them
Yea buddy doesn't get any better. Always come back

Hidden behind the window and the door
Searching for signs of life
But there's nobody home
Well, maybe I'm just too sure
Or maybe I'm just too frightened by the sound of it
Pieces of note fall down, but the letter said
Aha, it was good
Living with you, aha, it was good

Living with you, aha, it was good
Ah-ah-ah, good good good good good

Watching the sun trac shadows on the floor
Searching for signs of life
But there's nobody home
Well, maybe I'll call or I'll write you a letter
Now maybe we'll see on the fourth of July
But I'm not too sure, and I'm not too proud
Well I'm not sure, and I'm not too proud to say

I use to have a session with my band playing this song back in high school..I miss the 90's
WORE OUT this CD! It’s one that you put on and listen straight through - every track is excellent. 🎶❤️
Wow....blast from the past....brings back great memories
It was MY song in 1995. They had an energetic drummer, super vocalist and above average bass playing...aahh the memories of college.
I'm 66 and still listening to this. Loved the time and genre. Keeps me young. 😊 And yeah, I do emojis, I'm old. 😄
The very first BTE song that I know. Frequently played in rock stations in the Philippines in the mid 90s. My other two sisters also loved it when being played.👍✌️🤘😉
i fall in love with my wife 1995...meet her at college when i was took information technology Diploma....
This song sounds and looks like the 90’s! What a time to be a teenager, when all the music from the 90’s was new! And now I must be blind-and deaf, because i can’t see or hear it anymore 😞 Anyone 35 and older will know what i’m talking about
My 12yo daughter is a great fam of 90s music... This taste for good music is something I've inculcate since she was a baby... Larga vida a la buena música!!!
July of 2024 and loving this song- oh the good memories 🎉❤
Saw them at the Copper Dragon in Carbondale Illinois many years ago, they were amazing live. Kevin had someone in the front row scream into some sort of box then used it as an instrument in the song. They stuck around for autographs after the show. Great thing about smaller venues.
This song brings back great memories from the skating rink. The 90s were the best!!!!
I miss the 90s too... ah my teenage years and all that awesome grungey alternative music that defined those years... was a great time to grow up 😁
Now on to this week’s music countdown. No 1 on the charts this week, Better Than Ezra. Number 2, Ezra.
It's cool knowing these guys are from Louisiana, where I used to visit every summer years back to visit family. Eventually we moved to the Baton Rouge area for one year and my dad and I got to see Better Than Ezra in New Orleans in 2009.
Holy shit, I 100% forgot this band and song ever existed. I just happened to come across their name in a Wikipedia article about another band where it mentioned that they had once supported Better Than Ezra. This was one of the first albums I ever bought. Holds up pretty well!
Its 2024 any signs of life in the comments?
Look deep inside of self for all answers anything outside of self is material
This song was stored slept in my mind, sometimes I sang it in silence but now I can sing it in loud
I really loved and still loving and missing the 90’s ❤️
At every concert I’ve ever been too I scream “Freebird” an idea given to me by Beavis and Butthead. At their concert in Memphis he was the only musician who has ever reacted to it. He said, “There’s one in every crowd.” One of my greatest concert memories.
When this song came out i was 4 years old and i remember my uncle would play it every single day but still don't know the title, and then he would play it again a while ago then asked him what's the title of the song and now i wont stop playing the song
"I wish there was a way to know you were in the good ol' days."

Back to my high school years, where music sounds better than nowadays
Just saw them in Minne. Didn't even play this. Got to hear purple rain again though played by the millionth artist coming thru Minneapolis. Thanks for that original thought. So boss.
remenisching my high school days , life is so good. I love you past. 90's
I loved this band and this is one of my favorite songs from them, unfortunately most people today don't know this band but a Kid like me who Grown-up with Modern 2000's Rock Music I adore this gem so much.
i am going to be 35 on Friday i want to be be a teen again
i miss the 90s
I hear you Dean
I'm now 37 and I was 15 when this was released. I "Really" feel you. If only we can have wishes. One thing that is great about music, it can flood memories that we thought were forgotten. RIP the 90's, but will be in our hearts til the grave.
Music has a way of taking you back to a moment in time. We had a good time back then, didn't we?
where did the 90's go wrong?..I miss my adolescence time...alternative nation grunge....
👻 it was good 👻
Been trying to find this song for weeks!! Finally!!! All I could remember was "awah awah ah wah ah, in the skuw" and "yeah you look so good". Lmao Google isn't helpful when that is all you have! I kept singing those same 2 lines to my bf who was starting to think I lost it. The beat/rhythm were in my mind so clear though! So glad I finally found it and cleared up that I was way off on the lyrics. Funny how once it started playing I knew ALL the words (besides mishearing a few😄)...well that would have been helpful 🤣
Definitely one of the best songs of the 90s in this genre. Love it.
The summer of '95... Soul Asylym (Runaway train), Collective Soul (Shine), Better Than Ezra (good) were some pretty big hits.
I heard this song 25 years ago and I never knew who sang it until today. I feel like a teenager again :)
What an amazing song and album! Crazy, Kevin is now my next door neighbor.
This song was ahead of it's time. I remember it came out in the later 90s. Either way, miss these great songs from the 90s; the last great decade.......
In '97, after breaking up with my girlfriend, only to deeply regret it, each time I heard this song on the radio while working, it brought me to tears. This is coming from a veteran crustpunk/metalhead.
When this came out it hit the charts immediately. It was kind of like a contrast and a breath of fresh air to the fallout of grunge, Cobain's death etc. It was upbeat, heck the name of the song was "Good". Reminds of a girl I had a crush on in high school.
Been looking for this music video for years!! Finally!!
The best music, will be now and forever, from the 90's. Upbeat tunes, great guitars, lots of instruments and emotional lyrics. Essence of good rock.
One of my all-time favorite 90's rock songs!!! Such a good time for music.
I remember thinking back (90's) how amazing music would sound in 10-15 years time, with many great songs like this produced. Little did I know music sounded at its best then!!
Long time fan of this band. Songs span so many thoughts/feelings/etc. And in concert? Drummer bangs his heart out.
Good old memories of the 90's..wish could turn back time
You can see them live @ HOB in New Orleans first weekend of May during Jazz Fest!
The bass line on this song is primo!
This song makes me feel nostalgic of a generation I didn’t grow up in
