I love playing this song while traveling down the highway as loud as my stereo and ears can handle and just enjoying the rush of the moment it brings me........One of the greatest
The Big Head Todd and the Monsters live double album Joe Dirt Car has to be in the car on road trips. HAS TO be in the car. I sing along to keep myself awake. Came here after listening to the hold Music for Mini USA (car company) and thier hold music was playing a blatant rip off of this song. Needed a palate cleanse.
1992, leaving Colorado and moving to Charleston SC in my Cherokee with a cassette player with one tape, Bittersweet by BHT. I must have listened to that 20 times on repeat! I saw them at the Windjammer on Isle of palms SC when they would play 2 nights in the early 2000's for many years. I'm 53 now and damn I'd wish I could see em again. Great memories
I first heard them 1990 where I lived in Boulder Colorado on KBCO. Got to see them for the first time two nights ago in Portland Maine, made me happy and homesick for Boulder.
I saw these guys almost 30 years ago! I have several of their cd's and LOVE them. Had no idea they were still together and working until not long ago. I LOVE THIS BAND. Have since the first time I heard them! ❤
I saw them in concert a couple nights ago in Portland Maine. I'm from Boulder Colorado and have been a fan since hearing them back in 1990 on KBCO! Todd looks today what he looked liked in 1990 and voice is just as strong!!!
Their live performance at Red Rocks was even better than the album recording, which is really rare in these times of everything being faked on stage. Talented group.
my husband used to dance in the living room when this song came on. We had a playlist for house chores he made everything better. He had an amazing job, we had 4 beautiful children. He got pancreatic cancer at 36 and passed at 39. Enjoy your wife every part of your life because in a minute it can all disappear
I remember seeing this guy at the first or second HORDE Festival in 1992 in Phila. They put on a great show. It was a great day seeing Big Head Todd and the Monsters, Blue Traveler and the Allman Brothers. I was taken there for my birthday. Was a great day.
I remember it being summer, I was 18, and my best friend and I lived together. We would blast this album and just sing, it was truly a magical time in my life, so carefree.. oh so many years later, my baby is about to graduate next year and I’m attempting to get back to the carefree fun life I used to live.. obviously not as careless. Hahah. What an amazing band, I’ve seen them several times and listen to them almost daily.
So im about the biggest BHTM nerd/ fan there is, and if you wonder why the band never made their own music video for this song; Todd spoke about it in an interview back then. MTV was huge back when Sister Sweetly came out, and it was supposed to be the break through album for the band, Bittersweet being the big single. MTV was so big back then that if you didn't have a video to go with your new song, chances were it was never going to really 'break'. So Todd and the boys had a big record company behind them, they had Prince's producer come in and produce the album, and once Bittersweet was chosen as the single, the plan was to make the MTV video and go on to superstardom. However, Todd being the book lover he is, didn't want the song to be determined by one person's vision. He wanted each listener to be able to relate the song to their own life, and for them to create their own visions based on the lyrics and music, just like you would when reading a book as opposed to watching a movie. So, Todd put the kibosh on the idea of a video for that song because of his artistic beliefs, even if it meant he was hampering his own success. In that sense, this video made by a well meaning fan is kind of going against what the artist who wrote the song wanted.
First heard this song while watching the movie “Things To Do In Denver When You’re Dead”. From then had to find it and add it to my iTunes library 📚. Put it as the first song 🎵 on a new playlist and worked out on the elliptical to it. I probably spent most of the hour listening 👂🏾 to this song and Orleans’ “Love Takes Time”. Amazing how great tunes 🎵 can keep you zoned in even while your heart rate is in the higher ranges.
I played frisbee with her once, in a parking lot. My boss' cousin is in Beechwood Sparks and got us backstage passes. They, Kate Hudson, and The Black Crowes (sans Chris Robinson) were incredibly nice people.
What's bittersweet about marriage is when it ends. In my case, it was when my wife died after having 60 yrs of marriage with me. She became a part of me, and I to her. I'm only half alive now,very difficult to be without her. The only good thing in my life now is believing that God will reunite us in the rapture of God's church, soon to come I pray. Ron
The perfect 'Crush' song.. We feel everything.. While they feel nothing..
Perfectly worded

This song is absolute poetic and musical genius. So underrated!

All the best to y'all. Here's to you guys for the long haul!!! God Bless you

This song takes me back to college days...local pubs, local bands, just sitting outside and people watching. Cold brew, wings and friends....

What does he mean by when he says there’s a treadmill and we bleed?
They are always better live. 🎉
If you think everything is being faked onstage now you’re following the wrong bands dude. Seeing BHT tonite in Ithaca yeehaw
Agreed
@@Dianaking-e4v it's as we tremble and we bleed.
This song makes me sad, for me and my wife. And yet I love it. It’s so real.

I love this song but it's hard not to get lost in memories and ruminations and tears when I listen to it.

Perfect song! Have loved this band for years! ❤🎶🎵🎶
I agree Steve. They have a good sound
I love this song. Could listen to it all day!
Funny because I do haha!
Love love love this song 🎵❤
I practically did my one hour elliptical workout to it and Orleans’ “Love Takes Time” 😂. Both excellent tunes 🎵👌🏾.
I luv this song 💏💝
That solo at 4:14 is unbelievable 😮
These guys music bring smiles wherever they go love ya guys.
I have loved this song probably since before some of you were born. I like you're interpretation. My first concert was 1996 think,
So great
This song will, until the day I'm dead remind me my girlfriend that I had in 1993 WONDERFUL

I'm not sure a fan's presentation of their vision has the same effect as when the creator themselves does the same.
Brilliant!!!😮
Pretty cool!
Two words: Love wins.
Its soo soothing reminds me of a girl I used to know

Love this song 😊❤️🇺🇸👍
Amazing song. My favorite by BHTM. Live Monsters version is the absolute best version of this song.
I played frisbee with her once, in a parking lot. My boss' cousin is in Beechwood Sparks and got us backstage passes. They, Kate Hudson, and The Black Crowes (sans Chris Robinson) were incredibly nice people.
Truly awesome song..
5:40 💖 they gave each other DREAMS
Such an underrated song.
Just an Amazing Song to Always Cherish. ♥️✨♥️✨♥️✨♥️✨
I'm just rediscovered this band and many others and from what I hear I'll get used the CDs where I find them.
Cette chanson fait beaucoup rêver,et d'aller jusqu'au au bout du monde.
Every aspect is so beautiful just have to shed some tears of joy - Todd you and your mates ARE the genuine article bruh.
Perfect 💖
great song
The lyric line "she pretends she's sleeping" hurts the worst.
She doesn't deserve
I love this video. I felt young and made me feel like what it was like to fall in love.
Saw these guys and Hootie and the Blowfish in Milwaukee. Late 94.. Simpler times
Very nice.
Oh my god i love this song sooo much!! It makes me thinking about being passionate in bed with someone you really love and having the song playing
pretty sure its more about a failing relationship
Big head Todd and the monsters broken hearted savior
What a cool video
"But it's different from my dream....."
marriage as it really is
What's bittersweet about marriage is when it ends. In my case, it was when my wife died after having 60 yrs of marriage with me. She became a part of me, and I to her.

It's like they made a video for
"The way we were", and put a good song over it.
This Should Be Up For a Grame So Well Done So Beauful The Guy That Made The Video Buy Him a Shot and a Beer On Me 10-4 Groovy Baby
❤
Was this song from a movie? I heard when he said, "la da," and I began to tear up from the memories. Does anyone know?

Used during Hillary's campaign, and Biden used it again! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great song from the 90’s and still is, but this is the worst, mismatched video I’ve watched in a long time.
Deleting this garbage.
