Underrated 90's band!
Definitely expected them to be bigger.
90's Narl rock.
Not to me. I love candlebox
They weren't around long enough to get rated
They didn't have much music.
My favorite song by Candlebox is "You" it's such a powerful song.
Yes!!
+1 for "You" ❤
♥️" You"
Another vote for "You"!
Loved the whole CD❤
I think this song was about the death of Andy Wood (Mother Love Bone), hence the expression of loss in it. One of my all-time favorite 90s bands -- SUPER underrated. Their whole self-titled album is a masterpiece.
RIP Andy
Is he the one that Pearl Jam and Chris Cornel formed Temple of the Dog to record the one album they did?
@@troyturton8197 Yes
Mother Love Bone would be a great band for you guys to react to! (either Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns or Stardog Champion). I honestly think that Andy influenced so much of the grunge/alternative rock genre trying to cope with losing him so suddenly to addiction.
Super solid album indeed! I was working in a record store when this came out, and this was one of the few played endlessly in store that I never got tired of. Whenever we got a promo CD that my boss didn't like, she'd give it to me and tell me to take it home and never bring it back. I was so bummed out I didn't get this one.
It was written about Mother Love Bone singer Andrew Wood.
Another AMAZING band.
If Andrew Wood never passed you wouldn’t have Pearl Jam.
Definitely check out more Candlebox !!!
Didn't know that about this song. Absolutely love Mother Love Bone. Andrew was taken from us far too soon.
If he never got into drugs and overdosed he’d probably still be alive.
Chloe Dancer/Crown Of Thorns by mother love bone, is one of my fav songs ever.
Wouldn’t have that fantastic Temple of the Dog record either. Chris Cornell wrote that whole record for Andy’s girlfriend after he died and then ended up recording it with most of the guys from Pearl Jam
The line “Now Maybe” was originally “Now Andy”
Amber is spot-on with her interpretation of the 90s. During the happy-go-lucky 80s, we all projected a false positive cheerful energy and suppressed the sadness. In the 90s, a decade’s worth of pent-up emotion just spilled out everywhere.
Very raw and powerful. They helped me through the toughest period of my life 😢
The letdown from the excess. The expression of the unfulfilled
I was a UK teenager in the 80's and married in the 90's. I like your analysis @scotte4811 and had never thought of those years in that way. Never heard this band before before (I know, my bad) - I ❤❤❤ them! Oh yeah, will be making a deep dive - awesome guitar solo!
The 80's were the best time of my life. Being a teenager in that decade listening to my parents 60-70's music and my 80's, there wasn't a better period musically to live through.
@@Whispererinthenoise I think you've spoken a lot of truth here, but I think the industry had at least as much to do with the change than societal attitude. You could find plenty of unbalanced music in the 80s, just not on the radio. Jane's Addiction, Skinny Puppy, Anthrax, to name a few. Once they started putting parental warnings on albums I think the labels thought darker content was more marketable to the mainstream. "We told you the lyrics were mature." was good enough to pass liability to the consumer and open the gates on previously niche content.
I'm a child of the 70's, loved the 80's, but I must say, the 90's were absolutely amazing.
Same here. And in my opinion no era beats 90's R & B and Eurodance.
@@63saruman - 90's grunge & Alternative too
Glad you finally found Candlebox. They are awesome. Now you need to listen to their song “Don’t You”. You won’t be disappointed.
So many similar titled songs. I was going to recommend “You”
Thanks!
Just saw them live with Three Doors Down last month. Great show by both bands.
@@ketorecipiesandhealthystuf5539Same... Such a great show!
“The fact that the final cut is the actual demo. That was one vocal take and then we just moved on. We only had 12 hours to be in the studio. It’s interesting to me that we were able to capture something in that one and a half hours that we recorded that song. Now here it is all those years later in its infancy still. That song had never been recorded before that one time and that’s what people still hear, simply that initial recording.”
~Kevin Martin
This album has to be one of the greatest debut albums a band could produce. You, Arrow, He Calls Home, Don't You, Rain, No Sense, Cover Me are all fantastic songs off of this album.
You should hear how awesome this sounds coming through four 12in woofers in the back of a 95 Trans Am!! Man those were the days!! Keep rocking!!🙏
My system frightened people at red lights, especially when I jammed RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, LOL!
That sounds like great times!
I never experienced the 12in woofers in a 95 Trans Am, but i did experience that song when in came out in 1994 a week or so before my 24th birthday.
What an era the mid 1990s were.
Never to be repeated. I truly MISS it.
Sigh....
@greg6985 YES!!!! My friend ( a firefighter & police dispatcher) had a killer 95 Pontiac Firebird Formula Victory Red with t tops. That mother would move! Had an absolute killer stereo system. 5.7 - 350 LT1 and it would smoke the tires for a block, front end would come up off of the ground when you'd punch it. I had a built 85 TransAm. The local law enforcement knew us well... 😁👍🏻 95 TransAm & Formulas we're the best!
Haha 88 beretta for me, 2 12" alpines wow I miss parts of high school so much
I absolutely love Candlebox. They came out of the Seattle Grunge scene, at the same time as Nirvana, Soundgarden, and Pearljam. This song is about Andrew Wood, the singer for Mother Love Bone, another Seattle band that could have been huge had it not been for Andy's death. Temple of the Dog (super group of Seattle Grunge bands) was also founded as a tribute to Andy. You should check out more Candlebox and some Mother Love Bone.
This is one of my favorite songs EVER! Thanks so much for doing this one 🥰❤️🤘🏻🔥
They didn't have much music.
Memories for sure!
They didn't have much music? They've released 8 studio albums.@@michaelasay8587
Candlebox was severely underrated. I still listen to their debut album a lot. “You” should be your next Candlebox reaction
I agree one of the most underrated bands of the 90’s!! Love his voice and great musicians!! Try listening to “Cover Me”!!! All their songs are pretty awesome!!❤️
We are Generation X. We have a lot of bundled up pain and trauma from how we grew up in the 80s. Grunge, and Rock, in the 90s was us finally giving voice to it. So you do have a lot of music about dark emotions, drug addiction, suicide, abuse, all the shit we lived through. It was a way to come together and share the pain with each other, letting you know that you weren’t alone. A lot of us didn’t get the professional help that we needed until much later in our lives and the 90s music was kept us going until then.
lol you were spoiled little brats with a victim mentality.
This song is fire 🔥 Thanks for reacting! ✌❤
You guys have grown so much in terms of your insightful reactions.
You've become so much more analytical, articulate, and have such a great grasp on the overall "Feel" of these songs.
Been one of your subscribers from the start, and I'm proud of you both...!!!!!
You have to do that now. The "oh wow that was cool" channels are legion
I first heard this song in 1994, after my hubby committed suicide. This song shook me and I cried many tears listening to it. Then I bought the CD. All their songs are really good!
So sorry for your loss. Both of my maternal grandparents committed suicide, 10 years apart. It left us with a whole different additional feelings than if it had been other ways of dying. Since then I've come to realize one thing, it's not the person being selfish or not loving their family and spouses. It's usually for the complete opposite reasons. I hope my comment doesn't upset or anger you, that's not my intention. I hope you've found peace and comfort. Rest in Peace beautiful precious one
Honestly, you two are the best reaction channel on RUclips. I follow others but you two really have a great narrative of each song. Great job!!
I just saw Candlebox open up for Three Doors Down this past summer. Both bands sounded incredible live. Candlebox still has it!
I did too in Detroit. Awesome concert!
I caught them at the Brandon Ms show couple weeks ago. 3DD did a great home coming show , and unfortunately I missed most of Candle box set. What I saw was great though.
@@hekuboshiI was at that Brandon show.
@@ericmcnair4083 Nice! I wish they would have more rock shows at that venue. I went to the megadeth/Lamb of good, ZZ Top, And the seether/ Breaking Benjamin shows.
That is probably the Best Single of the entire 90’s.
There were a ton of Top Female Artists who killed it but as far a hard rock…this song was loved by every person that heard it.
I wore my CandleBox shirt completely out
Zombie by The Cranberries may have been the best song of the decade.
@@RobertoSantana61Tonight Tonight best song of the decade
80s were the party, 90s were the hangover 😁
perfect way to put it!
Unfortunately now there is no party or good "drinks" only memories of how good parties were...
A couple things: Yes, 90s music did touch on the emotions of the youth. Gen-X grew up during the Reagan years, many of us were latch-key kids, left alone at home while our parents chased the capitalist American dream. We also grew up during a time of manufactured fear (Satanic panic, razor blades in Halloween candy, etc.) We grew up with angst, and it came out in a lot of the music of the 90s.
Also, Jay, I think that the majority of 90s music you've reacted to you've enjoyed. I also believe that you are growing a lot with your musical appreciation. So, I think you are starting to appreciate the 90s music more due to your growth. Keep it up man.
Well said. Our hopes collided with our hurt.
Amber, there is a lot to unpack when explaining why the 90s kids were they way they were. Think about the generation that reared them. All in all, the 90s were pretty awesome for those of us who survived, but I bet you money most of us lived fast and lost people really young.
Another Candlebox song with a lot of passion. Is You.
The person who the song was about/for/inspired by, Andrew Wood, was in a band called Mother Love Bone. His is a sad story and a tragic loss. Too young, too much life to live. I like their song Stargazer a lot, but the fan favorite seems to be Crown of Thorns/Chloe Dancer. Which is quite good as well. Other notables are Stardog Champion and Man of Golden Words. They are available on RUclips.
One of the guitarists (Stone Gossard) and the bassist of Pearl Jam are from Mother Love Bone. The band had recorded their first album, were signed, and ready to break out. Sadly, Andrew died from a heroine overdose right before it was released. His loss deeply impacted his friend Chris Cornell. They had been roommates as young musicians. Even though their music wasn't quite the same they helped each other develop. Chris goes into it quite a bit in an interview. There are a few interviews with Chris about Andrew on RUclips.
I didn't know him, but I have seen footage of him performing with his band. He was a charismatic singer that had a larger than life persona on stage. He was a fan of the bands like Kiss, Queen, Aerosmith, and Elton John.
As a musician and a child of the 80's and a teen of the 90's, I've always said the 80's was a decade of decadence and running away from your problems. The 90's was a time of self reflection and facing the your darkness.
Love this song and Candlebox. Highly underrated band of the 90s.
Amber & Jay, here are some other good Candlebox songs to react to: "Cover Me", "Change", and "You".
Great reaction! Candlebox is calling it quits after 30 years, on their final tour right now. A 90s band you need to react to is Third Eye Blind, "Semi-Charmed Life" was a massive hit that was everywhere. The band Cake was big too, they have a horn player, "The Distance" and "Short Skirt/Long Jacket" are excellent songs. "Santa Monica" and "Father of Mine" by Everclear, then a favorite of mine, a one hit wonder, "Bound For the Floor" by Local H, hard driving guitar & a really cool music video!
Far Behind is a song I never skip when it comes up on the playlist.
Candlebox is incredible. Listen to "You." Its another phenomenonal showcase of their talent. But also get into some Brit Pop like Wonderwall by Oasis!!!!! And Gin Blossoms, if you want some emotion listen to Gin Blossoms!!!!
Oasis is fantastic ofc. My fave is Live Forever which is a super little known track compared to their big ones and I never see reactions for it lol
Live Forever is INCREDIBLE. Liam says he sings that for his mother, which wow, that's beautiful.
@@MrEriczamorez that's lovely, I didnt know that.
Been waiting for y’all to react to this one! This is the song that Candlebox is mostly known for, it is a tribute to Andrew Wood from the band Mother Love Bone…. regarded as one of the pioneers of Grunge.
More 90s acts to check out include; Beck - loser, where it’s at, devil’s haircut, new pollution, lost cause, think I’m in love, saw lightning; Everclear - wonderful, I will buy you a new life, am radio, father of mine; Cake - the distance, never there, I will survive, love you madly, short skirt/long jacket;; Dandy warhols - bohemian like you, we used to be friends; Modest mouse - float on; Semisonic - f.n.t.
Cake - Stickshifts and Safetybelts
Beck - Loser …great song 👍👍
Classic! Next you should do Screaming Trees “Nearly Lost You”. Awesome 90’s rock ❤
Amazing tune!
The Trees are so underappreciated. Mark Lanegan's voice... damn...
Agreed, I still seek that video out every few weeks.
Yes!
Great reaction, guys. I'd forgotten how good this song was. Amber, when you think about the emotional quality and the raw, introspective nature of many '90s artists, you have to understand they were shaped by their '70s childhoods. The '70s, underneath its mellow vibes and gaudy fashions, had a strong melancholy undertow with the adult world being somewhat adrift during that time and kids frequently being left to their own devices. Kids of that generation were more prone to looking inward and once they came of age in the '90s, they were driven to create art that spoke to real emotions in a way that the glossy '80s, for the most part, hadn't. The '80s was a decade long party after the malaise of the '70s and the '90s - the grunge scene, at least - was about '70s kids getting into their 20s and wanting to make and hear music that wasn't prepackaged and sugar coated.
This whole album is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love this song! Hope you will do a reaction to Seven Mary Three's Cumbersome someday. I can't seem to listen to one without the other.
I love seeing your reactions to such awesome music. This is how we reacted in the 1990s. It was magic.
The '90s "internal" thing....the generation prior (aka the people now running everything) became self-obsessed, selfish, greedy and ignored their children. We were latch-key kids and dysfunctional families, broken and forgotten by those that were supposed to be caring for and raising us. The music was the only voice we had.
I think none of us were allowed emotions. Music was the only way to connect for me. I'm a gen x; I think most of the 90s grunge/alternative was a lot of processing in the part of a great many artists
Idk how I'd have survived without the tunes that informed, validated, soothed, and forced me to feel... Decades later, I am still using music to process my life
👏👏👏 YESSSSS one of these good bands with great lyrics. I still listen to them on Playlist. Enjoy guys and love your channels. The singer, the guitar and the drums. 👍👍👍
So glad you did this one! I saw them in the 90’s when they opened for Rush! There was so much emotion in all the songs of the 90’s! And there are still so many 90’s bands left for you to explore! Drivin’ & Cryin’, Better than Ezra, Blur, The Flaming Lips, and many many more! ☺️🤘
Drivin’ & Cryin’!! Fly Me Courageous!!
Yes, Better Than Ezra rocked.
Amber, I think you nailed your insight into 90s grunge/alternative. I think some of it was talking about social and political issues (“Jeremy” by Pearl Jam) and the 90s was also the era of the riot grrrl and third wave feminism. But I think a lot of us who were becoming teens at the time were growing out of the shiny glam and consumption of the 80s and a lot of us were a bit more navel-gazing and introspective than the teens of the previous decade. If that makes sense. And of course, I can only speak for myself but I know I definitely dove head-first into the grunge and alternative culture back then.
This entire album is one of my top 10 of all time. Every song on it is incredible. I saw them live in 2018 for their 25th anniversary show in Seattle and it was an amazing experience.
Love this song! One of my favorite songs! As Amber said rock/alternative rock music is very therapeutic releasing emotions. As I said one of my faves!
Great song, great band….their song Cover me is my fave!!!
Gawd!!! I loveeeeed that song in the 90s and for some reason i rediscovered it this summer and listened to it about a dozen times. So good❤❤
Yessss!
I suggested Far Behind in the comments when you guys reacted to Live's "Lighting Crashes" a few months back.
Aside from Alanis Morrisette,
Candlebox was one of the then new artist Madonna's Maverick Records, record label had signed to exclusive recording deals.
Nice to see you react to this one.
Absolute pure mid 1990s nostalgia to me.
I LOOOOVVEEE Candlebox!! My music in the 90's.. a young adult..early 20's
This song was written about Andrew Wood (as others in the comments have mentioned). He was huge for the 90s grunge era. You HAVE to listen to “Say hello to heaven “ now by Temple of the Dog. Also written about the same guy!
Oh! Candle Box! Another 90’s Seattle Band! Such a great song!!! They got a lot of good songs.
One of the best songs of the 90s. 100%
One of my fave songs ❤
Thank you for playing this song. It always makes me think of my dear friend who is no longer with us. You were awesome Tom.
This song reminds me of a dear friend that passed away from her addiction 🥺. I'm sorry I couldn't save you Pamela. I'll never forget our childhood. I love you. RIP
Great song! I think a lot of the expression and emotion you're getting from the darker 90's tunes stem from living with and through addictions and loss. Unfortunately and fortunately, it spoke to an audience that maybe hadn't been represented in other decades of music. That kind of emotion is relatable to almost everyone at some level.
So glad you found some great 90s rock!
One of my all-time favorite songs - when it comes up on the playlist or even on the radio, volume goes WAY UP!! Thanks and congrats for discovering this amazing tune!
I remember this!
The 60's like the 90's had great bands.
"If a 6 was 9."
Better Than Ezra has a few 90's hits y'all should check out. Rosealia, In The Blood, Good, and King of New Orleans all have powerful messages and emotional tones.
What about "Good"?
Would love to see you two react to some songs by the Gin Blossoms. Hey Jealousy and Found Out About You are great ones by them.
Found Out About You, yes!!!
I was born in 73, grew up in the 70s and 80s. There was a lot of bubblegum pop, party music, glitz and excess. Not that I didn't like it, mind you. But the 1990s hit, and artists of my generation began making their own music. It was sort of a backlash against all of the 70s/80s hippie optimism, but it was also just a reflection of who we were.
Gen X is often referred to as the forgotten generation or the latchkey generation. We were the first generation of kids whose parents both worked outside the home. We often fended for ourselves, made our own breakfasts and lunches, came home to empty houses after school and made our own snacks or even dinners, which we ate in front of the TV watching sitcoms or after-school specials or playing video games. Most of us didn't go to daycares or babysitters on a regular basis, and if the occasion called for a babysitter, it was usually an older sibling or teenage friend of the family. We spent summers outside roaming our neighborhoods with our friends. Our parents had no idea where we were at any given time; we just had to be home by the time the streetlights came on. We grew up during the Cold War, with the threat of nuclear annihilation a possibility at any moment. We were called the slacker generation by our elders, even as we were working our butts off just to keep our heads above water. I think they mistook our cynicism for laziness. We've always been introspective and aloof because we spent so much time on our own. As a recent meme I saw noted, we were 30 years old by the time we were 10 and we're still 30 at 50. 😂
Candlebox were a local Seattle rock band when Nirvana broke big in late 1991... the music industry went on a frenzy to sign 'alternative rock' bands in 1992 and Candlebox was one of the later 'grunge' rock bands that released their debut album in 1993.
The original band was: Kevin Martin (vocals), Peter Klett (guitar), Bardi Martin (bass) and Scott Mercado (drums)... The debut self-titled Candlebox album charted at #7 in the US and sold 4 million copies on the strength of the MTV and radio singles - 'Far behind'... 'You'...
Unfortunately, after the death of Nirvana's Kurt Cobain in 1994, the 'grunge' scene endured a backlash and Candlebox was (unfairly) treated like they were following the trend, rather than being a part of it... Their 2nd album 'Lucy' in 1995 got the singles - 'Understanding'... 'Simple lessons'... but it sold a fraction of the 1st record going gold (half million copies) in the US.
Candlebox tried again in 1998 w/ their 3rd album 'Happy pills' ... original Pearl Jam drummer Dave Krusen joined the band, but despite the singles - '10, 000 horses' ... "It's alright'... and 'Happy pills'... the album was a commercial disappointment as the 90's came to a close. Candlebox split up soon after.
In 2008, Candlebox reformed w/ Kevin Martin, Peter Klett and Scott Mercado returning for the album 'Into the Sun'... and the band toured w/ new members... Eventually, vocalist Kevin Martin was the only original member left by 2015... Candlebox announced in 2023 that their last album 'The long goodbye' would herald the end of the band.
This is my favorite Candlebox song. I wish they had been more successful. :( Will you please react to "On The Darkside" by John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band? Congrats on hitting 462k subs!
90s group you haven't touched on but need to is Garbage. Stupid Girl or Only Happy When It Rains
YES!!
Since this album came out I’ve been a huge fan. This one and YOU are still two of my very favorite songs. Thank you so much for this reaction ❤
i remember my buddy , that was living in my home , brought this cd home ..... damn , we both loved it . 3 or 4 songs on that cd went gold for us . we would get drunk and sing along . he died a few years back and i miss those days more than anyone could know . glad to see you reacting to this band . it means a lot to me . thank you .....
Candlebox, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, and some other bands in the Seattle area in the 90s knew each other.
Songs like this as well as Would? by Alice In Chains were about Andrew Wood, the lead singer of Mother Love Bone.
Chris Cornell of Soundgarden was one of Andrew's friends and roommates. After Andrew died (drug overdose), Chris and members of Mother Love Bone (and Eddie Veddar) did a dedication album to Andrew, Temple of the Dog.
The surviving members of Mother Love Bone formed Pearl Jam with Eddie Vedder.
There's several songs out there about Andrew Wood.
And to answer Amber's question: 90's alternative were older Gen Xers that decided to express their angst and disappointment and were just kinda fed up. That's a massive oversimplification, but the music paradigm shift from happy go lucky music to "grunge" (God, I hate that word used to describe 90's alternative rock, but I digress) had a lot to do with that oversimplification.
One of my FAVORITE rock bands period, regardless of decade. They’re so good.
Candlebox was the first group to be signed onto Madonna’s Maverick Record label in 1992. Lead singer, Kevin Martin, wore a Madonna Truth or Dare T-shirt during their Woodstock performance in 1994.
LOVE this band. Totally underrated rock band. Powerful songs. Gotta do the song "You".
early 90s had some of the best sad/angry rock songs! ♥
This was written as
a tribute to Andrew Wood of Mother love bone..the singer Kevin Martin was friends with Wood.
Mother love bone was Bout to break big in 1990 but Wood died due to an O.D...the remaining members went on to found Pearl Jam.
One of the most underrated bands! I saw them in NYC back in the day. They were amazing!
Keep up with the 90s with some Mighty Mighty Bosstones. Dickey Barrett (Singer) hit gold with this song
So you wondered how this style of music came to be. Well, it happened almost overnight. Went from 80s hairbands and have fun party music to ticked off 90s alternative on radio. One day you were hearing Warrant Cherry Pie, & Poison Unskinny Bop. Next day Nirvana Smells Like Teen Spirit, and Pearl Jam Even Flow. 🤷🏻♂️ I really liked 90s Grunge and Alternative, still do. This Candlebox tune rocks.
Oh, how I love this song. I had my two babies, but was still 25 years old. This song evokes happy memories of my youth and teaching my young kids to skate.
Love them. My husband and I have talked about making time to see them in concert. They have popped up off and on as touring in areas around us. Glad you got to them.💖
Candlebox was the most under rated band of the 90's. They also had a record company that just did not promote them well either. This first entire album should have went on to win grammy's. There is not a bad song on this album.
Def underrated band... One of their best songs.. it's got a little of everything in it.
This band has one good album and this is it. I will tell you that every single song on this album is fire. Every single one
I jammed a lot to this song when I was in the military! Thank yall for reacting to this video and, enjoying the story behind the great sound of the music
To me, I used to love this song. It now holds a whole different meaning to me. Troubles in a relationship make this too relatable and it slashes the heart.
This is on of my all time favorite songs
Ah the 90's rock ballads! Starts off slow and then kicks ass! Loved them!
Another “Grundge” band from the Seattle scene. Totally underrated band that i still rock out to
Knowing the back story of this song makes it painful to listen to, but still….those opening guitar notes….so hauntingly beautiful.
One of my favorite songs ever.
I was 16 when this song came out. First learning about breakups and losing friends, learning about life and experiencing new emotions. This brings back memories.
As for how rock changed in the '90s, I always looked at as those rocking at the time were products of the '70s, raised by hippies and punk rock and hard rock and drugs. Gen X was an awesome combination that brought different elements to rock music. Peace and love y'all.
The 90’s got to this because the 80’s was all about excess. The Me Me Me times. People in the 90’s were singing about the effects of that. Some people’s lives were not as glamorous as the 80’s portrayed. This was their stories.
I loved Candlebox... It boggles my mind why they weren't bigger, a truly underrated band.
This was such an important song for me and my friends in our teenage mid-90's years. We always played it after a few harder songs, and this was the "slow dance/snuggle/chill" song with your girl. The place we'd go burned down in the early 2000's, but I always hear the echoes when I drive by...
I thought for sure at least one of you would say “I know this song!”. It was on the radio constantly, on tv, cover bands did it, commercials too I think.
Absolutely love the guitar at the beginning!
One of the best 90s band, takes me back graduated 93 im grateful
Expressing social injustice was absolutely important. But our music in the 90s was speaking to how mentally and soully exhausted we were. It the depth of our sorrow and despair was told to the world. And most of the world saw it as "talented musicians". This music was a cry of desperation. It was a cry of "we are spiritually exhausted and we need something different". And we've still not found it. And we felt that this OUTCRY in our music might effect a change. But it didn't. So you're watching video and listening to the music of a generation who thought we had hit the tipping point, and that from that point things would only get better.
They didn't.
This song was written by Kevin for the late Andrew Wood, (Mother Love Bone). “You” is also a great song by Candlebox
Such a great song about looks and missing someone. We've all been touched by death, whether it is by one's own hand or just life. And this song is therapeutic for us.
As a GenX'er this is a jam, most people wanted to hate on candlebox but they were good. 😊 got see them in concert in 94 with Metallica in Dallas. " Hi we're Madonna" was his first words on stage lol killed me
You can feel the emotions in his voice and that solo
Candlebox opened for Rush and that's the first time I heard of Candlebox what a show the got the crowd ready for rush, the next day I went and bought their CD
Chills! Finally some Candlebox🤘🏻Please do more of these great reactions with this band. You guys always deliver the goods. 😎✌🏻
