I thought she was madly in love with this guy. At least that was true initially. What went wrong? Was she too demanding, or did the guy turn out to be a lowlife?
@@tenderpawsm473 they both misunderstood how much she would enjoy her life. He goes out gets out of the house leaving her in situations where she never had a day to herself(for the most part). Is her bitterness shining through, maybe shining isn’t the best descriptor of bitterness
How little did I know this would be so true! Listening to this as a teenager you only hear certain things in a song and then when you become an adult it takes on a whole new meaning.
I'm an old man now and my best years are behind me. My time has past. You're still young and you still have a chance. There's hope with you. Take your mask off, go find the best young man you always had a crush on. Dance with him, kiss him, confess your love, and start a family. It isn't too late for you to still find your happily ever after. Live dangerously and free. Go fall in love right now!
it's so odd people highlight the "beer" part... So many songs out there that highlight beautiful words and people love the passive aggressive snap backs here
I loved this in my teens; fiana apple Criminal, Lisa loeb. Then, I got into Korn, a few years ago I heard some of Meg Myers like Desire that reminds me of korn
The way it sounds, it makes me feel guilty if I want a beer. Probably because of this song, I've never asked a woman to get me a beer and will refuse if offered 😅
Paula Cole has a Masters Degree in Fine Arts and she puts it to use in incredible work. People should be aware what kind of training she has--this is incredible and more.
This is the cry of a women who chased around men in her youth and didn't settle down while assuming she'd be young and beautiful forever. Now that she's older, she can't chase them anymore because she's older and the cowboys rode off into the sunset. You all need to understand female nature. 🤣
"I am wearing my new dress tonight...but you don't even notice me" The way sings this line with such a beautiful angst puts a lump in my throat every time I hear it 💜
That has been -- and always will be -- the line that just completely and utterly kills me… I completely and utterly agree with you 💯 that she sings it with such beautiful angst
For almost 20 years this song lingered in the deepest recesses of my memory, I didn't remember one lyric but the melody was burned in, I searched for so long but could never find it, it took till 2020 and a fucking FAMILY GUY episode had it on while Peter was shopping. I love Seth McFarlane. Thank you for helping find a childhood memory.
It’s truly amazing how music and scents can really marry the memory. The first time I heard this song as a kid. I was very much asleep but woke up to the sound of this song. I could never remember the name of the song (even tho I made sure to watch for the credits so I could remember) but the melody, “where have all the cowboy’s gone?” And “BEEEERRR” STUCK! So when something like google came along I could find it again🙌🏾
Same thing with WhiteTown's "Your Woman" another 90's great song, I only knew the first 15 seconds of the opening music and I've found songs I forgot the name and band with like 3 words! It took me like 17 years finding it like 3 years ago!
Are they worth anything these days? I've got about 200, most are mix-tapes made by Me, each with a theme based on the current season of life. Still got a package of blank discs to burn on! Amen!
I probably haven’t heard this song since riding in the car with my mom as a child in the late 90s…shit just randomly got stuck in my head and here I am
I blame Walmart. They get me while my mind is screaming for anything but the shit on the shelves and the idiots in the aisles. Then they play some song I haven't heard since Christ was a corporal. I don't even realize it at the time, but that night I find myself here looking for songs I never thought I liked. Now they play on an infinite loop in my head. I like it.
While watching a rerun episode of Yellowstone in 2023 this song played in the back of my mind. Actually felt like this in 1997 when I was working full time, taking care of baby, doing laundry and cleaning while waiting for my "cowboy" to come home from the bar. Luckily things changed for the better and we're still going strong 30 years later. I actually got my happy ending.
LEGEND!!! I want my kids to listen to this music and gain an appreciation of what quality music is. Paula is such an icon, she and Jewel have so many similarities.
A year or two before that I saw her four times on the Secret World tour. Amazing. The Secret World Live video is highly recommended, if you haven't memorized it already.
This song takes me to a point as a kid. It reminds me of spending time with my mother watching new music videos on VH1 or MTV. When this song came on we both watched it together and eventually sang along. It was one of the few times in my life where i had a relationship or any real connection with her. Hearing this song takes me back that confusing but functioning and meaningful time. I'm older now and her and I don't have any sort of connection. I truly feel music, real music can encase moments in life like crystals. The moments that attach themselves like this, never die even if our relationship is long dead.
I too had a marriage that never delivered the fantasy or the dream of continued bliss. Marriage and or permanent relationships are hard work and once disappointed enters the picture it usually goes south. I just finally looked at the lyrics today. What a powerful statement.
You took the words right out of my mouth. Every time. Chills. Every. Time. A true artist, poet, social commentator, femininist, and documentarian of American life.
@@matthewroberts9107 HAIM performed an amazing cover of this song on their 2019 headline set at Pitchfork music festival. I never would have heard of this song otherwise!
"I grew up in a small town, the song, let's see the Swamp Hollywood CA Italy movie get away with it, or censorship, the USS Missouri, amendment rights Born with, Magadonians" 3rd party USA 😎 devolution dude 🦉🦅 AMERICA "
this song is literally MAKING FUN of women who yearn for Alpha Males. Its satirical. I know you may think its about Beta males but The Singer herself is a feminist and said its satirical and it ultimately promotes the feminist idea of independence.
"Yankee doodle went to town riding on a pony 🐎🐴, stuck a feather in his 🎩 and called it infiltrated from with in, these artists sing Dixie, sweet heart Jesus Christ plan, AMEN AMERICA MAGA"
@Daniel Brooks Some interpretations overlook the irony and sarcasm...unfortunately ;) Paula Cole has always been a feminist at heart..and I love that about her.
this song is literally MAKING FUN of women who get attached to Alpha Males. Its satirical. I know you may think its about Beta males but The Singer herself is a feminist and said its satirical and it ultimately promotes the feminist idea of independence.
I was going to mention that she was a back up singer for Peter Gabriel. But I am very jealous of you now LOL you know Peter Gabriel and you were introduced to Paula Cole?😮😮Peter Gabriel will always be one of my all-time favorites!
Peak America, Peak World. The 90s here were an incredible time. People who were not there at the right age will never know. It doesn’t make me feel special, but sad that a vision of the 90s can’t be shared with them.
Wonderful song! Loved it when it came out! Crazy how much the world has changed since then...we gained so much, but it feels like we lost more somehow. Anyway, good memories for sure! 😎👍
Was having lunch with my wife at a restaurant and they were playing this song at the bar and I immediately went into a trance, took me back to that point on time when the song came out and it was pretty amazing.
I can still remember taking a bath in high school to get ready for school in the morning , and this was playing on the radio in our bathroom. And I was like, What is this amazing song?!?! It’s weird how I can still remember the very first time I heard it. It was so different than anything else on the radio at that time.
@ske3ffington~~Can't sleep so I'm playing my music~~I remember when this song came out~~I'd forgotten about it and just came across it~~I'm in my 60's and have always loved music~~I came out of the womb singing and dancing~~lol~~I love music so much~~Keeps me sane!!,,lol~~Paula Cole became super popular but only for a short time~~I wonder w/ever happened to her~~I thought she was great~~Hope she's alright~~Take care and have a great day/nite and stay safe~~😁😁😁💖💖💖~~
When Paula hits those high notes, I literally get goosebumps up and down my back. I just can't get this song out of my head! Her smile is absolutely bewitching! It’s like she knows things about me, that I don’t even know about! Great song! Great video! Great artist! I salute you!
I was married for 12 years, when I heard this song. Unbeknownst to me, hubby had him a side piece, from work. I worked 2 jobs for the first 10 years of the marriage so he could have a new car every few years... I also paid for his car insurance... He hated this song. Every time it came on, I would turn it up, start singing and dancing!
Just checked this song out for the first time…haunting. Celebrated our 50th anniversary last month. So glad we made it and blessed to have each other for so many years. Had one tough time and I felt the pain Paula describes so well. Somehow we got back on track
To have a Song this brutally honest about reality. That's put together with all these unique arrangements, simultaneous whispers and talk, hauntingly impactful singing from the Soul, and melodic blend...etc., is unusually gripping & murderously Beautiful!!! 💥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥🔥🔥🎶🎸🎵🥁🎶🎼🎹🎵
"You get it, our freedom, our constitution, under attack, monopoly central Bank 🏦 money laundering, a cog of criminals in Congress, two tear justice system, depopulation machine, that ain't Jo Biden, he went to GITMO, that's not Jo Biden"
I've had snippets of this song running through my head but couldn't remember the name or enough of the lyrics running together to do a search. All I could remember is I thought that Paula Cole sang it. Now at 2:15 a. m. I remember the name of the song. I remember Ms. Cole being known back in the day for really only 2 songs, "I Don't Want to Wait" (the Dawson's Creek song) and this song. Where I like I don't want to wait, radio stations over played it and I preferred this song. I haven't thought of this song in about 25 years, but I'm glad I did. I still like and may have to introduce my 17 y. o. to it. All because I was watching a SMOSH video and they referenced I Don't Want to Wait and that jogged my memory. Sometimes I miss those days when I was young and stupid. If I could go back in time and do it all over, but keep my knowledge & experience 46 years have given me, I would. I find myself feeling nostalgic for those days recently. I'm a proud Gen Xer and wouldn't want to claim any other generation.
This came out when I had my first baby, got married and realised his addiction soon after, when I was trapped. I used to hold the newborn and sing this when it came on the radio. It was prophetic.
And 26 years later, I'm 38. Feeling so nostalgic, loving that 12 yr old self who first heard this on the radio in year 7. Almost 3 decades later i realize I'd led the life the lyrics just read. I'm a single mom now with 3angels and i hope to share the magic of this song with them as they learn and grow ❤ Love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
Overplayed is an understatement. But that doesnt take away from the fact that this is a beautiful song. P.S. Don't leave Tori Amos out of the list of women artists who owned the 90's! 😉
I used to hear this song playing back in my college years in the late 1990s(1997-1999) in Benningan's and Chili's, hanging out with my friends at the restaurants and having a good old time. Good times, good times!
OMG, I remember hearing this song sometime, somewhere when I was a 5-6 year old little girl. Now that I've heard it again, I can feel the same vibe and feeling I felt back then. How I miss those times, even though I didn't have a clear consciousness of my surroundings. The 90s definitely had a unique and special vibe. All those 90s boys and girls must understand what I mean. Greetings from Mexico!
@@spidaman0112 The sun is literally a light. The moon is the lesser of the two lights. The stars are affixed to the firmament. Planets are wandering stars. The earth is a topographical, stationary plane. The sun, moon and stars are beneath the firmament. It might seem crazy, trust me lol, but it's true. Unfortunately most people are so spiritually blinded that they literally cannot see it. The subject angers them. Pride and hatred for God keeps them in the dark. There's also a sexual element at play. Most women believe certain things. So most men also believe those things in order to gain the affections of women. A vicious cycle indeed!
Born in 1991. This is the earliest song I actually remember hearing on the radio as a child. I loved it then because I just liked the cool melody and the fact that it talked about cowboys. But actually understanding the lyrics as an adult makes it even better!
Fuck off with the Indian blood Tom Petty was 1/4 Cherokee didn't stop his father beating him up, sorry yes she was beautiful and now she has white hair and her voice is still unearthly but this was one of those moments in time.
I don't care what anyone says... Paula Cole is awesome.
I miss the 90s so much.
The 90s remind me of running into water sprinklers
I didn’t have a bedtime
The 90s were the best decade,it was soooooo simple back then,I'm literally stuck in that decade lol with reruns of friends etc
Modern technology is too invasive now, we’re too busy on our phones, no longer interact face to face with each other & the technology is now used against us
90s sucked
I love the frustration that emanates from how she says beer. It’s immaculate.
I thought she was madly in love with this guy. At least that was true initially. What went wrong? Was she too demanding, or did the guy turn out to be a lowlife?

She deserved the Grammy she got for this album. Self-written, produced....cool songs!
Boundless talent
Agreed
I like how she has a braid in her hair and then in the next picture she has a bun in her hair. I think I like her with the braids better
She made millions off this song. Mission Accomplished!!

The way she says "beer" just cuts all the way down to the bone
She sounds like she's being passive aggressive.
it's so odd people highlight the "beer" part... So many songs out there that highlight beautiful words and people love the passive aggressive snap backs here

What a voice.
What a midriff 😅

Love this. And my Debbie
The way she sneers "while you go have a beer" is absolutely DEADLY.
I totally agree with that and the way she dances and moves her hands around to her singing it's so awesome
She reverses it in more recent times.
That's then this is now
😆
You can even hear it
I hated this song as a child but now as a grown woman I love it lol
Why, if I might ask? Does it resonate with your life currently?
Same
Cause now you know what she’s really singing about lol
Me too.
Just saw her on the Mask Singer and coincidentally I’ve been trying to find this song for years. Man, I miss music like this.
I came here too after Masked Singer!
And I love her white hair, still the same smile.
@@ginay8800 As did I!
I did too and came here to find this song. I should have guessed her from the John Wayne clue!
I'm thankful that we'll lived in a time when this place was called the United States of AMERICA.!
I love it when she ascends into her falsetto, it sounds so ethereal. She has the perfect storyteller voice. Her voice is singular, it’s so beautiful.
Ladies don't have a falsetto.
No nuttos
Total goosebumps ❤☮

It’s 2020 and this song just transported me back to my teenage years.
The power of music is amazing.
Same vibes. I was 13 ❤
Every time i hear this song I am back in 8th grade Woodshop It was on the radio like start of 4th period nearly every day without fail.
I literally woke up with this in my head out of nowhere this morning, after years lol
Really I was the same age I just had a flashback in time omg 😳
Love this song I remember my brother use to love when I would sing it karaoke at home lol.....was 17
The way she sings "While you have a beer."
That's one of the first things I've always noticed about this song. Her voice says it all.
You making fun of me? that's how we say it in Beantown. BE ER
I noticed that back then. I thought, she's not happy about that 😂
that 😂 is the line! I wash the dishes while you have a bee-yer! I Do like the song
The way it sounds, it makes me feel guilty if I want a beer. Probably because of this song, I've never asked a woman to get me a beer and will refuse if offered 😅

That has been -- and always will be -- the line that just completely and utterly kills me…

One of many things made fun of on Family Guy. Did that show like anything?
( I mean other than offending everyone😄)
This is the First time l watch this wonderful video. Of course l liked this song since it came out. Where all this great music has gone?
For almost 20 years this song lingered in the deepest recesses of my memory, I didn't remember one lyric but the melody was burned in, I searched for so long but could never find it, it took till 2020 and a fucking FAMILY GUY episode had it on while Peter was shopping.

Wow! I definitely would've pinned this for an 80's song for sure. But I love it. Has a very nostalgic sound.
@babyenderpizzio67823 NO it came out in the 90s because l remember hearing it on the radio when l was a kid going to school!!
Exactly. I wonder where Paula Cole has gone.
It came out in 1996. Still it hits 🎶❤️
No one understands sarcasm served cold like the 90's.
Lol except these fragile men acting like there's no subtext to the lyrics.
@Threehundredpages Pages Better looking husband? Where did you get that? Methinks you're projecting.
Is it possible she's being earnest deep down though? about just wanting that prairie home life?
She’s missing real men -maybe?
More confused feminazi blathering its a catchy tune tho
I loved this as a 16 year old teen. Now I watch the video and see her anger and wrath of what the songs intentions were. Absolute BANGER!
"I will wash the dishes, while you go have a beeeeer"
Those lyrics and the "yippee yi, yippee yay" part at the end are my favorite parts.
Those parts of the song got to me too.

🎉 when music was still good and living was worthwhile. Today music is freaky an living is just about survival
It's all a distant memory :(
The alternative to getting aged is not entirely attractive either
Same. I remember being so adrift when this came out, and it makes so much more sense when you age.

@@matthewroberts9107 HAIM performed an amazing cover of this song on their 2019 headline set at Pitchfork music festival. I never would have heard of this song otherwise!
Sexey🎉

Cowboys still exist. Married to a great one, 35 years.
Hope he’s not like the one parodied in this gem of a song
@@bobafetting6373 lol!! I have a good one, better than I should. ❤️
In my experience cowboy wives are equally as badass as their husbands
this song is literally MAKING FUN of women who yearn for Alpha Males. Its satirical. I know you may think its about Beta males but The Singer herself is a feminist and said its satirical and it ultimately promotes the feminist idea of independence.
@@electricearth1101I don't see how it's satire. I know women today who feel the same way as the lyrics.
I GET EVERYTHING NOW
She really puts her heart into it...Talented Artist..
Brilliant artist!
This song is spitting truths!
27yrs later an i still know this song word for word.
[I was 11 when this song came out]
What a song! Miss the '90s so much. 🥹🥹
I just love Paula’s voice. I could listen to her sing for hours.
"Yankee doodle went to town riding on a pony 🐎🐴, stuck a feather in his 🎩 and called it infiltrated from with in, these artists sing Dixie, sweet heart Jesus Christ plan, AMEN AMERICA MAGA"
I'm singing very loudly with her atm xoxx
Sounds like Tori Amos - who also laments men being men.
She's so adorable and this song holds up so damn well
Now I finally understand this song.
The British author Terry Eagleton wrote that ironies are more easily understood within the British culture.
@Daniel Brooks Some interpretations overlook the irony and sarcasm...unfortunately ;) Paula Cole has always been a feminist at heart..and I love that about her.
this song is literally MAKING FUN of women who get attached to Alpha Males. Its satirical. I know you may think its about Beta males but The Singer herself is a feminist and said its satirical and it ultimately promotes the feminist idea of independence.
@@electricearth1101 How is it that you know what I think?
One of the best songs ever!
Why the hell have I, and so many other people, suddenly remembered and looked up this song at the same time?
Lmao
I know why. She just re-did the song and video. Now Paula looks like the rest of us. She changed the lyrics a bit. Check it out.
AlmightyFhonghoulle haha omg so true,..Just a lost song people remember cuz it was so diffferent.
😂YAAS!
Aliens.
It took Peter Gabriel to introduce me to Paula's music. And then I found this track. To her, I say WOW, what a voice! and to Peter I say thank you.
I was going to mention that she was a back up singer for Peter Gabriel. But I am very jealous of you now LOL you know Peter Gabriel and you were introduced to Paula Cole?😮😮Peter Gabriel will always be one of my all-time favorites!
Exactly how I got here also Mark. I’m so grateful to be introduced to such gifted human beings. 🙏
Peak America, Peak World. The 90s here were an incredible time. People who were not there at the right age will never know. It doesn’t make me feel special, but sad that a vision of the 90s can’t be shared with them.
Wonderful song! Loved it when it came out! Crazy how much the world has changed since then...we gained so much, but it feels like we lost more somehow. Anyway, good memories for sure! 😎👍
Was having lunch with my wife at a restaurant and they were playing this song at the bar and I immediately went into a trance, took me back to that point on time when the song came out and it was pretty amazing.
As you remembered what a Banging Body Paula had.
I can still remember taking a bath in high school to get ready for school in the morning , and this was playing on the radio in our bathroom. And I was like, What is this amazing song?!?! It’s weird how I can still remember the very first time I heard it. It was so different than anything else on the radio at that time.
so you didn't even notice her?
The 80s gave us everything.the 90s left us wanting more.
80's sucks
@@carlosro740Youre crazy.
@@carlosro740😮😮Shut your hole😂😂😂😂😂😂
I haven’t listened to her since the 90s brings back memories, I was in the US army at the time.
YES to this! Gen X approved 👍❤
🖤 I never realized until lately how absolutely phenomenal this song really is, awesome.
Definitely one of the best songs from 1996/97.
You old fools. This song is about oppression and hatred. and don’t tell me it was a different time. I don’t wanna hear that shit
@ske3ffington~~Can't sleep so I'm playing my music~~I remember when this song came out~~I'd forgotten about it and just came across it~~I'm in my 60's and have always loved music~~I came out of the womb singing and dancing~~lol~~I love music so much~~Keeps me sane!!,,lol~~Paula Cole became super popular but only for a short time~~I wonder w/ever happened to her~~I thought she was great~~Hope she's alright~~Take care and have a great day/nite and stay safe~~😁😁😁💖💖💖~~
When Paula hits those high notes, I literally get goosebumps up and down my back. I just can't get this song out of my head! Her smile is absolutely bewitching! It’s like she knows things about me, that I don’t even know about! Great song! Great video! Great artist! I salute you!
HAIM performed an amazing cover of it on their 2019 headline set at Pitchfork music festival. I never would have heard of this song otherwise!
weird
Her high notes are great, but the whisper-notes make me crazy! 3:32
Powerful song that brings back memories
I was married for 12 years, when I heard this song. Unbeknownst to me, hubby had him a side piece, from work. I worked 2 jobs for the first 10 years of the marriage so he could have a new car every few years...
I also paid for his car insurance...
He hated this song.
Every time it came on, I would turn it up, start singing and dancing!
Man child…he B…keep da luv…find another…I bet…carry ..0n…
😂❤❤ I love it when people say that they are are the best people w
Y o
I was with a woman I don't think she knew how to wipe her ass
My x had 2 kids she didn't want and slept with whoever paid her bills so lotte freaking da
Just checked this song out for the first time…haunting. Celebrated our 50th anniversary last month. So glad we made it and blessed to have each other for so many years. Had one tough time and I felt the pain Paula describes so well. Somehow we got back on track
Charles - you’re a good man, sir. Respect👊🏼
She was mocking Cowboys, not celebrating them.
So glad. I failed twice. Had an awful childhood, so got No modeling. Oh well.
To have a Song this brutally honest about reality. That's put together with all these unique arrangements, simultaneous whispers and talk, hauntingly impactful singing from the Soul, and melodic blend...etc., is unusually gripping & murderously Beautiful!!!
💥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥🔥🔥🎶🎸🎵🥁🎶🎼🎹🎵
"You get it, our freedom, our constitution, under attack, monopoly central Bank 🏦 money laundering, a cog of criminals in Congress, two tear justice system, depopulation machine, that ain't Jo Biden, he went to GITMO, that's not Jo Biden"
I will always come back to this song trying to feel the feeling I had when this first came out🥰💪🏽 Spinning around in my room❣️❣️❣️
Gen x is still listening to this great music.
I hope so!
We Gen Z to listen and learn
We are, and passing on to the next generations to enjoy as well.
Millennial here.. and this will ALWAYS be a fave. ❤
I've had snippets of this song running through my head but couldn't remember the name or enough of the lyrics running together to do a search. All I could remember is I thought that Paula Cole sang it. Now at 2:15 a. m. I remember the name of the song. I remember Ms. Cole being known back in the day for really only 2 songs, "I Don't Want to Wait" (the Dawson's Creek song) and this song. Where I like I don't want to wait, radio stations over played it and I preferred this song. I haven't thought of this song in about 25 years, but I'm glad I did. I still like and may have to introduce my 17 y. o. to it. All because I was watching a SMOSH video and they referenced I Don't Want to Wait and that jogged my memory.
Sometimes I miss those days when I was young and stupid. If I could go back in time and do it all over, but keep my knowledge & experience 46 years have given me, I would. I find myself feeling nostalgic for those days recently. I'm a proud Gen Xer and wouldn't want to claim any other generation.
Love this song. Love this woman. Class ❤️
The way she says Beer, BEEEYERR! 😆
I love it
Because he love it more than her
Nonsense. Dude sought out difficult laborious work to support his family.
It made open up one right now, cheers my friend 🍻
How do you like your bear, Grizzly or Black?
This song is timeless.❤
A masterpiece
This was on the radio a lot when I brought my lovely horse. He's just died. I play this this reminds me of him.
Aww rest in peace to your lovely horse🥹🙏🏾❤️
❤😢😂
I didn't know horses lived thirty years . . .
A very true and PROPHETIC song .
This came out when I had my first baby, got married and realised his addiction soon after, when I was trapped. I used to hold the newborn and sing this when it came on the radio. It was prophetic.
I got similar story, thankfully im a single mom now ❣️
I hope you’re in a better space now.
Nope. You ignored them.
He didn’t wanna get help ?
The woman hiding from the pressures of the world and expecting a man to care for her. No wonder he took drugs.
Wow, I really liked that song but hadn't heard it in twenty years. Thanks for posting!
And 26 years later, I'm 38. Feeling so nostalgic, loving that 12 yr old self who first heard this on the radio in year 7. Almost 3 decades later i realize I'd led the life the lyrics just read. I'm a single mom now with 3angels and i hope to share the magic of this song with them as they learn and grow ❤
Love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
Wow! Congrats from Oklahoma City in the U.S.A!!!!👍😁🎶🎵🎸
I was 10 when this was released…life went way too fast 🥺🥺🥺
She was mocking subservient women.
I'm mad that this doesn't have more views, this is one of the definitive songs of my childhood.
Love that song from 97. Female artists kicked ass in 97. Jewel, Natalie, Sarah McLachlan and Alanis Morrisette!
Those are some top notch names right there
Honestly, I could have sworn Vh1 overplayed the shiet out of this/her vid in '98! Cool that it was a year old by then? 🙂🙂
Overplayed is an understatement. But that doesnt take away from the fact that this is a beautiful song.
P.S. Don't leave Tori Amos out of the list of women artists who owned the 90's! 😉
I used to hear this song playing back in my college years in the late 1990s(1997-1999) in Benningan's and Chili's, hanging out with my friends at the restaurants and having a good old time. Good times, good times!
*96
OMG, I remember hearing this song sometime, somewhere when I was a 5-6 year old little girl. Now that I've heard it again, I can feel the same vibe and feeling I felt back then. How I miss those times, even though I didn't have a clear consciousness of my surroundings. The 90s definitely had a unique and special vibe. All those 90s boys and girls must understand what I mean. Greetings from Mexico!
They say time is a circle. So those times pass and return
Sadly its a lit fuse. Only hope there are loops close enough to your time or not.
@@spidaman0112 is the sun the fuse?
@@zzzcocopepe same spark that ignited the universe. Stars too
@@spidaman0112 The sun is literally a light. The moon is the lesser of the two lights. The stars are affixed to the firmament. Planets are wandering stars. The earth is a topographical, stationary plane. The sun, moon and stars are beneath the firmament. It might seem crazy, trust me lol, but it's true. Unfortunately most people are so spiritually blinded that they literally cannot see it. The subject angers them. Pride and hatred for God keeps them in the dark. There's also a sexual element at play. Most women believe certain things. So most men also believe those things in order to gain the affections of women. A vicious cycle indeed!
When music was deep. I miss this era of fantastic female artists.
There's nothing deep about this song dumbass
Me rocking to this song at 10 years old having zero understanding of the poignant lyrics
Born in 1991. This is the earliest song I actually remember hearing on the radio as a child. I loved it then because I just liked the cool melody and the fact that it talked about cowboys. But actually understanding the lyrics as an adult makes it even better!
Man, she has some fierce cheekbones. Respect. ✌
It's that Indian blood Man
It's her 'Indian' blood.
She's got some fierce pokies too!
An Indian like Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren! LOL
Fuck off with the Indian blood Tom Petty was 1/4 Cherokee didn't stop his father beating him up, sorry yes she was beautiful and now she has white hair and her voice is still unearthly but this was one of those moments in time.
This song is now 27 years old😢😢😢let that sink in
Wow! I thought it was new. I had it in my head earlier and had to find it . Time flew by!
It's wild huh
Now it pays less for car insurance.
I was 45 when it came out. It was sad then - still is.
She was 29 years old when this released. So that would make her at 57 years old now.
