Netflix just added Yes man and I re watched it for the first time since it came out on theaters. Made me remember how much I love this song, fucking legendary. Keep you heads up kiddos ✊🏽
In our 2015 interview with lead singer Stephan Jenkins, he described this song as "a noir about a guy who jumped off a bridge and killed himself because he was gay," adding, "It was really about bullying."
I busk often (performing in public for tips, in my case, acoustic guitar and singing), and I've had this song requested literally a dozen times in a night, three of which were from the same person (I probably spent a good ten minutes that night explaining to the guy that I didn't know the song), so I think it's about time I learn this.
@@roebucksummers8614 I learned it, only to discover that none of the people requesting it knew or cared about anything after the intro-chorus. It’s still fun to belt, though.
Stephan wqas one of the best things to happen to the 90's, he was truly unique in his style and lyricsm. He deserves our respect regardless off what he songs like live. If he thought like you maybe "3eb" and "blue" albums, would never have been written. And i can't even begin to think how unfortunate it would be if he never graced the music industry. Cheers.
Love this song... Jim Carrey has messed it up for me, I always hold the notes to long when I sing it, lol. I feel like he should've actually recorded a cover though!
almost... i love this type of music, and play guitar so i like learnign these songs.. but ur right i didnt no that band until i saw Yes Man. this song is great.
The lead singer of this band is still alive... Stephan Jenkins has said that the song came from a story 3EB's manager told them about a guy that was a friend of his in highschool who was gay. Being gay wasn't accepted where he lived and the guy ended up committing suicide because of it. The song is also about difficult experiences Stephan went through during his childhood.
Jim is a great actor. Jut when he sings it- it is to happy to represent the meaning of this song. To stop someone from committing suicide would not be pleasurable.
All I have to say is, for how many drugs he's probably on and done, he can sing this good in his own respect. Stop hatin', and learn to appreciate music. I'd love to see anyone try to do what he does as well as he does and get as much appreciation.
I almost feel wierd commenting about this. This is a great song, however Jim Carrie's "cover" in Yes Man makes me sing and shed a tear EVERY TIME I see it.
It's popular because it was playing on the radio all the time when it was released and still is played... This song wouldn't have even been in that movie if 3eb hadn't made it what it is.
Yes! When I heard it the first time that's exactly what it reminded me of. It's really the same 'theme' I guess, and they sound pretty similar on an acoustic guitar as well.
Don't hate the movie. As a fan you should be happy that there are people actually becoming fans of Third Eye Blind. I know I have heard people do songs by artists I've never heard before and it made me want to look at all the music that artist has done. So, stop knocking the fans of Yes, Man. You should be jumping for joy that Third Eye Blind has more fans because of that movie.
@WiFeSLaYer - Right on! It is a sad state of affairs when most people relate a great song to some movie, commercial or TV show. I grew up in the 90's too and I know this music means more than that. I would bet that this song has saved some lives and that is incredible! Suicide should not be taken lightly, and far too many people do. Prayers and thoughts go out to everyone who has been effected by depression and is, or has, thought of suicide. Especially our military folks,come home alive please!
Tony! He’s going to make that acoustic play that solo damnit! That guy is a phenomenal guitar player, most people don’t know that he can seriously shred.
That high vocal note is so clean and good… I’m assuming Stephen has a lot of different singing qualities to his vocals I’m not sure he’s showcased before in songs (in studio form).
The Sessions@AOL overlay and bleached Guy Fieri style hair gives this video an overall vintage Web 1.0 sheen...someone literally probably downloaded this on the Pirate Bay on a Windows XP, later wrote it to DVD along with 50 other music, "videos," (because it was shot on actual video) which probably took hours to finish and then a few years later uploaded it to RUclips (also taking hours to finish because their internet speed was probably around 1MBps in 2009).
This song still brings tears to my eyes. When someone is having a tough time in life and talks suicide, do just more than tell them I Will Understand. There are 1-800 numbers. On the web there are counseling groups. ● sorry Ralfie . I failed you. ● ● ● ●
this is the song that saved my life more than once
Hope you're still around and okay ❤️
Bud you here 10 years later?
whenever someone mentions this song i always picture jim carrey saving luis guzmán’s life :D
Yeah right...Yes Man...what an underrated movie.
H
@@christianfernandez3374 I didn't know it was underrated. It is such a great movie! Everyone should watch it.
Killer performance. I don't know what music would be like for me if it weren't for the 90's.
Amen
One of the best songs ever.
The drums in this song are great, Its really put together. I love it.
AOL !! Haven’t heard anything about that in a Long Time!!!!!😳. Great performance!!!
Everyone's got to face down the demons
Maybe today
We can put the past away
Netflix just added Yes man and I re watched it for the first time since it came out on theaters. Made me remember how much I love this song, fucking legendary. Keep you heads up kiddos ✊🏽
I’m about to watch it on Netflix, seen the preview and made me want to listen to this song lol🤪
In our 2015 interview with lead singer Stephan Jenkins, he described this song as "a noir about a guy who jumped off a bridge and killed himself because he was gay," adding, "It was really about bullying."
I really dig his chorus turnarounds. Very nice
Music is so beautiful what an awesome way to connect with your friends, express yourselves, higher frequency stuff than our everyday lives
Really important and helpful. Tears in my eyes as I realize how lucky I am to be here. Life is important, hold on, and help someone.
I absolutely love this song
its just plain awsome
This is a really meaningful song.
jenkins is always phenomenal but hands down, drummer's the chillest dude here
That drummer is on point, makes the song.
I busk often (performing in public for tips, in my case, acoustic guitar and singing), and I've had this song requested literally a dozen times in a night, three of which were from the same person (I probably spent a good ten minutes that night explaining to the guy that I didn't know the song), so I think it's about time I learn this.
So how did it go for you?
@@roebucksummers8614 I learned it, only to discover that none of the people requesting it knew or cared about anything after the intro-chorus. It’s still fun to belt, though.
@@herby190 Good to know that. Stay safe buddy.
I Really Love This Acoustic Version...I Think It's Better Than The Album Version...
this song gives me the chills
Agree.
Today, and it has been like that for awhile, jazz is THE genre which requires the most talent and skill.
Fucking fantastic song. Always loved 3EB, even though I have trouble understanding 80% of the lyrics in their songs... Haha. Great band.
Yes Man!
Stephan wqas one of the best things to happen to the 90's, he was truly unique in his style and lyricsm. He deserves our respect regardless off what he songs like live.

That Gibson SJ looks fantastic
false. just cuz he didnt sing it in the exact same way as the album version doesnt mean it was terrible he didnt miss one note! he sang it great
Remember when AOL was a thing? Lol
breon johnson What's AOL?
Still is.
this song takes me back to my childhood and i love it
It doesnt matter whos better. You have to give respect to the original artist. And respect to Carrey for doing it justice
the smirk at 2:45 hahaha
Love this song... Jim Carrey has messed it up for me, I always hold the notes to long when I sing it, lol. I feel like he should've actually recorded a cover though!
Best comment on anything ever.
this song saves lives.... thats all i got to say about that
Thank You! I agree completely... remember this is an ACOUSTIC version meaning its different and he still rocks it.
if jim carrey made an acoustic mix to this like he did in yes man i would listen to it.
He's just singing lower notes. They are still on key though.
totally agree, whoever didn't know this song before the movie doesn't deserve to listen to it.
almost...
i love this type of music, and play guitar so i like learnign these songs..
but ur right i didnt no that band until i saw Yes Man.
this song is great.
Needs more Luis Guzman
Really nice song...but it's true that the Jim Carrey really nailed it!
Really good. Nice to hear this version
The lead singer of this band is still alive...

I wish you would step back from that mic my friend
It makes me sad that I would rather listen Jim Carrey sing it 😂😂😂😥😭
Definitely a classic
Those vocals of Stephan Jenkins! That was great! 3:32
i love the song's message
god.
they're so amazing.
and so is this song.
i really loooove this song!!!.. amazing version!
Super Song and Super Scene cannot afford to miss it
best acoustic I've seen in a while... great
*AWESOME!*
Awesome song! definitely their best song!
yuup! got lil chills.
Great song, great music, great band!
HE HAS THE VOICE OF AN ANGEL!!!!
Jim is a great actor. Jut when he sings it- it is to happy to represent the meaning of this song. To stop someone from committing suicide would not be pleasurable.
All I have to say is, for how many drugs he's probably on and done, he can sing this good in his own respect. Stop hatin', and learn to appreciate music. I'd love to see anyone try to do what he does as well as he does and get as much appreciation.
i like this song.. two thumbs up for this perf. love 3eb =)
I love them!
I almost feel wierd commenting about this. This is a great song, however Jim Carrie's "cover" in Yes Man makes me sing and shed a tear EVERY TIME I see it.
It's popular because it was playing on the radio all the time when it was released and still is played...
This song wouldn't have even been in that movie if 3eb hadn't made it what it is.
all time favorite
Yes! When I heard it the first time that's exactly what it reminded me of. It's really the same 'theme' I guess, and they sound pretty similar on an acoustic guitar as well.
This is such a fun and easy song to play on guitar...every guitar player should learn it
Great song! :) good on ya third eye blind!!! i will have to watch yes man now :)
Don't hate the movie. As a fan you should be happy that there are people actually becoming fans of Third Eye Blind. I know I have heard people do songs by artists I've never heard before and it made me want to look at all the music that artist has done. So, stop knocking the fans of Yes, Man. You should be jumping for joy that Third Eye Blind has more fans because of that movie.
you're a legend, brilliant post!
I enjoyed this
Perfect!!
I like this live better than the studio version.
An awesome video! I fav'd it!

Best band ever
Tony! He’s going to make that acoustic play that solo damnit! That guy is a phenomenal guitar player, most people don’t know that he can seriously shred.
Yeah because we don’t even know his last name.
@@saintjabroni Tony Fredianelli
@@saintjabroni google his name and "breakneck speed" lol
@@jcastanza Thanks for the drop.
amazing
Heard it on Yes Man! LOVE IT NOW
Granted not all but most TV and movie love is nothing like the reality, fairytale and hopeless romantic love.
The song is very good!
Yes Man is on TV now
Yes!
good stuff!
thumbs up if you'd seen this clip 1,000x before it was ever in yes man!
i like the harmony at the end
