@@jahendrix1543 I saw them in concert at The Music Box in Chicago , quite awhile back and they were awesome. I love Nightingale. I think they still do concerts Take care.
For those who love TWS and talk about your memories of the 90s, these guys still tour regularly. I encourage you to find some small music venue where they are playing near you and go. They remain a wonderful show. Just saw them a couple of months ago with my girlfriend who had never seen them before, and she was blown away. Their drummer is new, but otherwise they are the same band. Support live music at small venues!!!
I was 14 in 1995 and the first time I heard them ,I loved them! I'm 40 now and still listen to their new and old music. TWS has so much imazing talent! I have a very abnormal serious epilepsy ,and cant go or do certain things (even concerts ) I always wanted to see a concert , but love the fact I can atleast see them on TV.
This song gives me the chills everytime. I have a weird feeling of nostalgia when I listen to it, not a regular nostalgia though, more like a melancholy, idk how to explain it. It makes me feel like I'm missing something or someone I never knew. I love it but it makes me sad.
My grandma before she passed away loved this song with all of her heart and I learned it on guitar and played it for he while she was in the hospital and that was the last time I saw her smile before she passed away 3 hours later and this song makes me so sad and happy when I play it because I allways remember the good times we had together.
I dunno Hollywood is very wicked now with the terrible thing s that evolved thru the 2000 's it very Corrupt now the 90 's were interesting and more innocent
After my son died back in May of 2013 I went and just started listening to songs on YT. For some reason I couldn’t get through this one without crying. As time went on I was able to listen to it without tears. I went on here to listen to Silent Lucidity by Queensryche. Toad the Wet Sprocket songs were recommended. I listened to Walk on The Ocean All I Want then this one. After 10 yrs once again it made me cry
I remember in 94 sitting by the radio waiting for this song to be played. In my humble opinion this is by far Toad's best song. Though maybe not their most popular. Nothing I would change about it. The song is perfect.
The year this song came out (1992) my Toyota Camry V6 was brand new, still have it, great dependable car. Gin Blossoms and Toad the wet sprocket, in my opinion were probably two of the best bands from the 90's. Lots of good music from that decade, I'm boomer age(70). Think the 90's were the last good decade for music, overall.
This song reminds me of my Freshman year in college! That year Toad the Wet Sprocket came to my college (Calvin College) and Hootie & The Blowfish opened for them.
I remember 94' working 3rd shift in a machine shop in Milwaukee when I heard this song come over the radio I hung above me. Next day went out and bought the CD. Just brings back relationships of the past.

yeah... i'm actually very curious about today's music scene... i mean, there MUST be exceptional talent out there somewhere today, making stuff comparable to things of the past... right? i don't hear a thing on the radio or mentioned by pop circles that i've liked beyond a, "eh, whatever" party music type regard. the last time i pulled over in my car cuz i heard something that blew me away was Stadium Arcadum songs by Chili Peppers, FOREVER AGO... this is the last thing i really liked.
There is an aspect of songwriting that almost never gets a mention, except among professionals talking professionally, and the is the arrangement of the song. Some tunes just flow, even across tempo and key changes, and others just clunk along. This song is an example of the finest kind of arranging, one that lets the song breathe and move around without ever losing the flow.
I feel like they pull this off with most of their songs. I think these guys were very intelligent with their writing and construction. And probably criminally underrated.
so melodic, just lets your mind relax and send you to a place where nothing matters and life stands still. Very underrated band. Their stuff is top shelf.
I can't believe i totally forgot about this song. This was one of my favorite songs for a season. I had the cassette tape back in 95 or so. Just stumbled upon this song while listening to some other old 90s tunes and the intro gave me nostalgic goosebumps to the bone. Such a beautiful amazing tune.
My girlfriend senior year of high school was a huge Toad fan and she desperately wanted me to like them, only because she knew how great a band they were and she only wanted to turn as many people on to them as possible. I knew of them but they were just not my scene then(that band with the goofy name??) She gave me this album and I couldn't believe how much I liked their music, how in the hell was I NOT listening to them? She and I did not even make it to prom but my love for this band has endured for over 20 years.
I should have and will add that you could still find good music but not in any commercial vien.It is unfair of me to be too general !! All I know is DISCO SUCKS !!!
While being just a bit younger than you (58) I completely understand and agree 100%. Mid 60's to the mid 70's was the best. We were witness to the music "Revolution". And you could FEEL how special a time it was. It was all so fresh and creative and it was available to us at the flip of the switch on our radio's and in great abundance. We didn't have to "Seek" it out. Then came the 80's......oh my. Disco.....ugh and big hair bands. Everything sounded the same. The 90's brought back creativity and it was "Oh SO welcome". While there are always good bands out there, it will never be the same. And we now see the adults who grew up during the 90's saying the same thing. They are now seeing what we saw back in the day as they experienced the unique creative music our generation were privy to and the great appreciation for such. Apologies for the lengthy reply. I have no self edit button :-)
That's because for the most part singers were also songwriters. Now everything is bought and paid for. You don't even have to even sing good anymore. Stupid auto tune *eye rolls*

This song feels like heartache but it's so beautiful at the same time, one of my favorites... "and again we meet in the spaces in between... you always say there's something wrong."
My brother turned me onto Toad years ago and I have not looked back. So many great songs. All their albums have at least two-three standout songs with two albums being perfect (in my opinion). Dulcinea and Fear being those two albums.
The theme song I gave my wife the last year we were together. Always something wrong! I could do nothing right. Man life is to short to be so negative. Music is a light we all need, some more than others. Peace.
@@californiaswater5571 nah, not to much. Much worse things are afoot these days. Nothing like a friggin Pandemic to make a person miss the simplicity of the 90s. Yesterday, 57 people died in my state from Covid. The infection rates are skyrocketing while medical professionals everywhere are begging Americans to take this shit seriously. My wife's a pastor, and on Saturday she's doing her third funeral since October 15. This upcoming one's for a 26yo nurse who'd been in the ICU, on a ventilator for 37 days! Young people ARE dying too. There's no rhyme or reason for why some of these young folks get affected worse than others. I'm an emt-paramedic on furlough because I've got diabetes and and I'm recovering from treatment for malignant melanoma which may have zapped my immune system. A friend of mine from high school died last month from a sudden Covid related blood clot. The day before she died she ran over 20 miles on her lunch break. She was a competitive runner and rock climber who was in the best shape of anyone I ever knew. She was second in her graduating class at MIT, and was a stellar photographer! She was so kind and caring about other people. She was careful about Covid and always wore a mask. Doesn't help much if people around her weren't wearing theirs however. I hope a vaccine comes out soon. I'd like to be able to work again. I don't know why I'm saying all this to the ether. Hadn't heard this band in awhile and wanted to think back to simpler times of dating and partying and running around without worrying so much. The govt back then sure was corrupt, but it was a much simpler corruption. People embezzled millions, not BILLIONS. Who knows, maybe we'll have universal healthcare, and solve the climate crisis by this time next year! Maybe there'll be a cure for cancer developed too. One that doesn't make you wretch you guts out for days on end. Def not the best way to lose weight, but I'll take it. I'I'd take a lot of things over the current situation! Oh well...
@@jonathanbecker8935 what a story Jonathan. I am actually a survivor of Covid 19th. I caught it on the Fourth of July ironically enough, and had a myriad of symptoms but fortunately no respiratory problems whatsoever. I had a high fever like the flu bodyaches and pains and mental confusion loss of sense of smell and of course extreme depression which I am still struggling with along with the odd symptom that everything taste like metal. It is so astounding to me that some people think it’s a hoax, what fools. A quarter million people dead in our country and our president that I hold responsible as if he were a murderer. And unfortunately our citizenry is so stupid as to not listen to doctors and to think wearing masks is an option. I haven’t worked since March as I work and live concerts and it’s like I may not be working again quite some time. The photo is my mother, not me. Anyhow I wish you the best and thanks for sharing your story and I truly hope you get well and we all get through this together.
PeteTheChopp Bass player in this band is completely underrated. He does a lot of interesting moves that makes the song (many of their songs) more interesting and provides a quality vibe and rhythm.
@@mmrea2860 Huge influence on me. When I first picked up bass, he was one of the first pros I went to for "lessons" because he is such a value added member of Toad. Always in the pocket, but still has occasional flourishes and runs that just WORK. And so smooth. His fret work is something to shoot for.
When I was a young child my mom would put this song on and I always saw it hit a nerve in her. As I've gotten older, and hear it now for myself it starts to make a lot of sense.
If this tune doesn’t tear you up in some way I think you have had a good life or you just don’t feel emotion for me it just rolls through 60 years of living and on the way a lot of things have happened BIG TIME
Listening to this, makes me cry. I’m sad, and feeling really nostalgic for the 90s, but I couldn’t go back, knowing what I know now, because I’d miss my son, Vincent, and my fiancé, Ian, too much. Waiting for Vincent to be born, and then waiting to meet Ian, would be torturous.
Its sad because music like this is so beautiful and sticks with you . You remember the melody and you feel good when it plays. Not all, but so much stuff today has no substance and for so long now is a bunch of whining and rhyming every other sentence. But the rhymes have no thought, they are just put together to get the song sold. And several generations now have no idea what really good music was and can be.
My music appreciation professor in college called the 20th century the death of tonality I disagree I believe most of what is made now and played by mainstream media is the true death of tonality
The past was wonderful. The present is unbearable. It is devastating. Cut and paste to every old song you can find!!! I personally find this song very soothing.
"...And I can't feel much hope for anything If I won't be there to catch you if you fall..." That line right there sums the whole song up. To love someone that you can't have... Edit: this line has evolved for me. It’s not about someone you can’t have, it’s about someone who won’t accept the love you are willing to give. After a long relationship came apart, this line sums up how I felt when I realized that nothing I did would make any difference...
I feel you on that. My love is one of the best anyone can ever hope for or need, yet seems I couldn't give it away to this one particular person for over a decade despite relentlessly trying, on and off, over and over again. They simply did not want my love, and I thought something was wrong with me all those years, when there absolutely wasn't. They had the problem, and I now know it's because my love was too good for them, and they knew they weren't deserving of it. I took it as rejection at the time, when really it was their own guilt of accepting something they knew they didn't deserve. They never reciprocated it, and never appreciated my awesomeness. What was wrong with me, for allowing and accepting that rejection for so long??? Live and learn, I suppose. So, yeah I know exactly what you mean.
TO THINK THAT THE NAME OF THE BAND CAME FROM A MONTY PYTHON SPOOF SEEING THEM LIVE WAS ALWAYS AWESOME. SEEN THEM LIVE AT LEAST 30 TIMES OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS.
You are so lucky! I’ve only seen them in concert three times, but they are amazing live vocally and are great musicians. They are the real deal. No auto tuning. Great to know that they are still great live. I was lucky enough to get to meet them backstage the first time I went, and all of them were just so nice. They took the time to chat with everyone, sign autographs, and take pictures. This song is my favorite one of theirs, and I still love this band today as much as I did way back then. I just don’t attend many concerts anymore, as I am not comfortable in crowded places. Have a great day/night.
[Verse 1] Another day, I call and never speak And you would say nothing's changed at all And I can't feel much hope for anything If I won't be there to catch you if you fall Again (We fail) It seems we meet (To meet and mend) In the spaces (Spaces safe) In between (Between intents) We always say (Say too much) It won't be long (Long been gone) Oh, but something's always wrong [ Another game of putting things aside As if we'll come back to them some time A brace of hopes, a pride of innocents And you would say something has gone wrong Again (We fail) It seems we meet (To make amends) In the spaces (And wend our way) In between (Between intent) We always say (Looking back) It won't be long (Not moving on) Oh, but something's always wrong
The video is more true today than ever. How many of us look for all of those things now... we are always searching for the next best thing, or quick satisfaction, and we probly have people and things in our lives already that provide us with enough love but we don’t see it or choose to ignore it. I broke up with somebody thinking it was wrong to be with them, and now I feel like it is so wrong and empty to be without them
Wow. ❤❤❤I love it. Their harmonization is so on point. They just make me happy when I listen to them. It's the good stuff and that's all... the good stuff.

This song is not just one of Toad's best, it's one of the best songs ever written. Yes, I said that. And I'm an old-school rock/metalhead guy.
Agreed 100%. Absolutely love it.
I agree also! The background vocals are what make it for me.
Great production,as well....this song sounds good on a good stereo system...that was my first impression....how good and clear it was

WTF? This IS a classic tune.
These dudes are hella underrated...Love that 90's sound..Toad, R.E.M, Gin Blossoms, Sister Hazel, Eagle Eye Cherry, Blues Traveler etc.
I made a streaming channel named "Big Head Toad and the REM Blossoms."
Counting Crows
Tonic, Goo Goo Dolls, Matchbox 20, Third Eye Blind etc etc
Summer of 2022, Toad toured with Gin Blossoms and Barenaked Ladies. Pure heaven in my ears

This song feels like heartache but it's so beautiful at the same time, one of my favorites... "and again we meet in the spaces in between... you always say there's something wrong."
This video does not hold a candle to the magnitude of this beautiful song
This makes me cry…. I remember being 10
And my mom would play this 😢
Probably the most original song I've ever heard.
The 80's and 90's. Man,... I miss them so much. Nothing today has much character or originality to it.
Nostalgia, it's a tough pill to swallow.
My brother turned me onto Toad years ago and I have not looked back. So many great songs. All their albums have at least two-three standout songs with two albums being perfect (in my opinion). Dulcinea and Fear being those two albums.
The theme song I gave my wife the last year we were together. Always something wrong! I could do nothing right. Man life is to short to be so negative. Music is a light we all need, some more than others. Peace.
Been there 💯.....!!!!!!
So true ♥️
Negative people are the worst. Hmm I hope that wasn’t negative.
@@californiaswater5571 nah, not to much. Much worse things are afoot these days. Nothing like a friggin Pandemic to make a person miss the simplicity of the 90s. Yesterday, 57 people died in my state from Covid. The infection rates are skyrocketing while medical professionals everywhere are begging Americans to take this shit seriously. My wife's a pastor, and on Saturday she's doing her third funeral since October 15. This upcoming one's for a 26yo nurse who'd been in the ICU, on a ventilator for 37 days! Young people ARE dying too. There's no rhyme or reason for why some of these young folks get affected worse than others. I'm an emt-paramedic on furlough because I've got diabetes and and I'm recovering from treatment for malignant melanoma which may have zapped my immune system.
A friend of mine from high school died last month from a sudden Covid related blood clot. The day before she died she ran over 20 miles on her lunch break. She was a competitive runner and rock climber who was in the best shape of anyone I ever knew. She was second in her graduating class at MIT, and was a stellar photographer! She was so kind and caring about other people. She was careful about Covid and always wore a mask. Doesn't help much if people around her weren't wearing theirs however.
I hope a vaccine comes out soon. I'd like to be able to work again.
I don't know why I'm saying all this to the ether. Hadn't heard this band in awhile and wanted to think back to simpler times of dating and partying and running around without worrying so much. The govt back then sure was corrupt, but it was a much simpler corruption. People embezzled millions, not BILLIONS. Who knows, maybe we'll have universal healthcare, and solve the climate crisis by this time next year! Maybe there'll be a cure for cancer developed too. One that doesn't make you wretch you guts out for days on end. Def not the best way to lose weight, but I'll take it. I'I'd take a lot of things over the current situation! Oh well...
@@jonathanbecker8935 what a story Jonathan. I am actually a survivor of Covid 19th. I caught it on the Fourth of July ironically enough, and had a myriad of symptoms but fortunately no respiratory problems whatsoever. I had a high fever like the flu bodyaches and pains and mental confusion loss of sense of smell and of course extreme depression which I am still struggling with along with the odd symptom that everything taste like metal. It is so astounding to me that some people think it’s a hoax, what fools. A quarter million people dead in our country and our president that I hold responsible as if he were a murderer. And unfortunately our citizenry is so stupid as to not listen to doctors and to think wearing masks is an option. I haven’t worked since March as I work and live concerts and it’s like I may not be working again quite some time. The photo is my mother, not me. Anyhow I wish you the best and thanks for sharing your story and I truly hope you get well and we all get through this together.
ITs the harmonizing on the chorus that makes this song so great
PeteTheChopp Bass player in this band is completely underrated. He does a lot of interesting moves that makes the song (many of their songs) more interesting and provides a quality vibe and rhythm.
COMPLETELY agree with this. VH1 played the hell out of this, probably my fave Toad track.
Truth
I always thought that, too. It's amazing.
@@mmrea2860 Huge influence on me. When I first picked up bass, he was one of the first pros I went to for "lessons" because he is such a value added member of Toad. Always in the pocket, but still has occasional flourishes and runs that just WORK. And so smooth. His fret work is something to shoot for.
My favourite song by TWS. Glenn's vocals are no joke & Randy is simply a kickass drummer.
Came out in 1994 man. 26 years ago. Seems like 10,000 years ago to me. This song pretty much captured the vibe of the 90s though.
I know what you mean. I'm almost 40 and thinking about my childhood seems like a different life. It really does.
Yeah this song just feels like the epitome of the 90s.
This is one of my favorite songs and I also think it's one of the prettiest songs ever made.
Love the chord progression. Definitely highlights the beauty of 90s acoustic guitar-heavy era.
Just heard this song for the first time in about twenty years! Brought a huge smile and some tears. I had forgotten how much I love the drums!
Are you MY Tommy Toes?
I’m sorry I am not your Tommy Toes, Bonnie:(
When I was a young child my mom would put this song on and I always saw it hit a nerve in her. As I've gotten older, and hear it now for
myself it starts to make a lot of sense.
If this tune doesn’t tear you up in some way I think you have had a good life or you just don’t feel emotion for me it just rolls through 60 years of living and on the way a lot of things have happened BIG TIME
Listening to this, makes me cry. I’m sad, and feeling really nostalgic for the 90s, but I couldn’t go back, knowing what I know now, because I’d miss my son, Vincent, and my fiancé, Ian, too much. Waiting for Vincent to be born, and then waiting to meet Ian, would be torturous.
Aw, what a sweet message!
P.S. Cute picture, by the way!
Its sad because music like this is so beautiful and sticks with you . You remember the melody and you feel good when it plays. Not all, but so much stuff today has no substance and for so long now is a bunch of whining and rhyming every other sentence. But the rhymes have no thought, they are just put together to get the song sold. And several generations now have no idea what really good music was and can be.
there is more good music being made today than ever before, it's just not on the radio
My music appreciation professor in college called the 20th century the death of tonality I disagree I believe most of what is made now and played by mainstream media is the true death of tonality
Your professor is an idiot. Never believe "professors"
The past was wonderful. The present is unbearable. It is devastating. Cut and paste to every old song you can find!!! I personally find this song very soothing.
Amen.
Remembering today this good band. I used to listen 90s American bands in my teenage days and even after so that Im from Spain. 😉
Remember this song being on the “Fear” soundtrack. Takes me right back to 1996 learning to drive my Honda Accord careless and free.
Goddamn, this song is old enough to drink. It was just yesterday. Excellence is timeless, and so is musical marrow.
Heard this in Walgreens. . Takes me back and makes me cry
It's always at a CVS or Walgreens you're reminded of these gems :)
Apparently I need to spend more time at Walgreens
A little hard to explain crying in public f*** em and feed em fish heads
@@Laststepp If your lucky someday that's where you'll spend A LOT of time.
Lord please give me back the 90s I'm soooo lost in this new world
Somethings always wrong 💯🥺❤
Sorry to Tell you that sweety but i living the same !! We have music médecine
This song's crunchier than a bag of kettle cooked potato chips 🔥
These guys are amazing in concert..So many memories..Great group..❤
"...And I can't feel much hope for anything
If I won't be there to catch you if you fall..."
That line right there sums the whole song up. To love someone that you can't have...
Edit: this line has evolved for me. It’s not about someone you can’t have, it’s about someone who won’t accept the love you are willing to give. After a long relationship came apart, this line sums up how I felt when I realized that nothing I did would make any difference...
I think your evolved understanding is spot on.
I feel you on that. My love is one of the best anyone can ever hope for or need, yet seems I couldn't give it away to this one particular person for over a decade despite relentlessly trying, on and off, over and over again. They simply did not want my love, and I thought something was wrong with me all those years, when there absolutely wasn't. They had the problem, and I now know it's because my love was too good for them, and they knew they weren't deserving of it. I took it as rejection at the time, when really it was their own guilt of accepting something they knew they didn't deserve. They never reciprocated it, and never appreciated my awesomeness. What was wrong with me, for allowing and accepting that rejection for so long??? Live and learn, I suppose. So, yeah I know exactly what you mean.
He has the sweetest voice ever 🤍
At the line where the ocean meets the sky . . . such a classic line
TO THINK THAT THE NAME OF THE BAND CAME FROM A MONTY PYTHON SPOOF SEEING THEM LIVE WAS ALWAYS AWESOME. SEEN THEM LIVE AT LEAST 30 TIMES OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS.
You are so lucky! I’ve only seen them in concert three times, but they are amazing live vocally and are great musicians. They are the real deal. No auto tuning. Great to know that they are still great live. I was lucky enough to get to meet them backstage the first time I went, and all of them were just so nice. They took the time to chat with everyone, sign autographs, and take pictures. This song is my favorite one of theirs, and I still love this band today as much as I did way back then. I just don’t attend many concerts anymore, as I am not comfortable in crowded places. Have a great day/night.
Searching a song on spotify that I know and this came across me, I'm addicted to this song now surprised haven't heard this song being a 90s fan
So spot on then but yet so relevant today! 👏
Dulcinea. One of the best ten albums of the 90s.
One of my all time favs. If only we knew the 90s would be the last best decade 😢 #takemeback
The 90s were the last great era of music
90"s still the best!! ¡!!
I still remember falling in love with this song when it was played on the movie Fear with Mark Wahlberg and Reese Witherspoon...... 90's nostalgia
Same 💯
Im going to a concert of them tonight. The 90s kid in me is so happy.
Awesome you got this concert in before Corona. Red Rocks will be awfully quiet this Summer.
gilbertobm let me know how it is and what about social distancing?
@@patriciarussell1177 the concert was back in February. Waaay before this whole madness. It was great.
They put on a great show! I was a stagehand in the 90s.
I saw them at House of Blues in Houston back in November ‘17. They sounded just as great as they did in the 90’s.
It always drove me crazy how under-played this song was on the radio.
Most underrated bands in my opinion
such a beautiful time the early nineties was..✌🏻🇺🇸
[Verse 1]
Another day, I call and never speak
And you would say nothing's changed at all
And I can't feel much hope for anything
If I won't be there to catch you if you fall
Again (We fail)
It seems we meet (To meet and mend)
In the spaces (Spaces safe)
In between (Between intents)
We always say (Say too much)
It won't be long (Long been gone)
Oh, but something's always wrong
[
Another game of putting things aside
As if we'll come back to them some time
A brace of hopes, a pride of innocents
And you would say something has gone wrong
Again (We fail)
It seems we meet (To make amends)
In the spaces (And wend our way)
In between (Between intent)
We always say (Looking back)
It won't be long (Not moving on)
Oh, but something's always wrong
Wow. Powerful lyrics. Thanks man.
Thx
This really holds up in 2022...except for the prices!
It looks great, and the message of the video is so deep.
Perfection. The 90s was such a vibe, i miss it so much.
I'm almost 60, and I love 90's music like these guys.
The video is more true today than ever. How many of us look for all of those things now... we are always searching for the next best thing, or quick satisfaction, and we probly have people and things in our lives already that provide us with enough love but we don’t see it or choose to ignore it. I broke up with somebody thinking it was wrong to be with them, and now I feel like it is so wrong and empty to be without them
I never thought Bizarro Quinn would get so deep...
Underated Band
definately
In the 90s there were a 100 bands just like them...
+SmithCommaBenjamin name them
Bad name !!! great singer
@@melisarodriguez6783 there is a story behind that name....
Heard this as teen when nothing was wrong. Can relate to it everyday now as a( so called) adult.
Nostalgia...the only pain that feels good
Long live Toad!!
Wow. ❤❤❤I love it. Their harmonization is so on point. They just make me happy when I listen to them. It's the good stuff and that's all... the good stuff.
RIP Unconditional Love Grandma
One of the most BEAUTIFUL songs ever . STILL listening in 2024 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
