I miss these kinds of bands. Totally stripped down. Dedicated more to their music, than their image. Also, they looked like adults. I'm tired of children topping every freakin' Billboard Chart. -Sincerely, an old hag! lol
I don’t know, you must be too young to remember, but Tonic songs like, “If you could only see” were pretty big hits and you couldn’t go anywhere without hearing it. So yeah, I’d say Tonic got their due and more.
@@82pythons85 If you were around then, would you maybe have any good bands from then that were more under-the-radar? And tbh i get the feeling most of tonic's stuff was actually pretty unknown. Like this one has less than a million views and I'd count it as one of their more popular ones, but what do I know?
@@82pythons85 But honestly? "If you could only see" may be the worse song from Lemon Parade. Still a good song! But not the best from them, and it's not even close, imo. So, their original point stands.
This song hits home for me. My late husband was an alcoholic & he was terrible with me, put me down, blamed me for things that weren't my fault, called me names & everything I did he considered "stupid". Hearing this song reminded me of those painful days before the booze killed him! I love this song because I couldn't have said it better myself, speaking from my own personal experience. I love this band!
I saw Tonic in Leesburg, VA at the Tally Ho Theater in 2015. One of the best shows I've ever seen in my life. They killed it and I wish I could go back and see that show over again!
@@gregsimmons8130 me too. I was also in a band at the time and since we Didn't have our own gig that night we had collectively attended the show. Had a great time but then I messed up by leaving early. Well after Tonic finished they welcomed fans to a meet n greet. Of course my band members all got to "talking shop" with them for friggin HOURS and I MISSED OUT on meeting n talking n hanging out with one of my all-time favorite bands!!! Errrrr!!!!
Anybody else here because you had forgotten this truly gem of a band The melodies and lyrics and guitar work is just fabulous perfection, IDK why this video has ONLY 729k views that's very strange.
I remember watching this video while getting ready for elementary school lol. Still love it at 27. 💜 Amazing talent and written straight from the heart.
Never took an interest in much 90's music with the exception of Green Day, Collective Soul and these guys. Twenty plus years later, I still like their sound.
I figured out why nobody can find Norman in this vid - this isn't the original one that was aired when it first came out. the original starts with talking and slow-zooms on a computer. Norman shows up a few SECONDS into the vid. you can't miss him.
Just watched "Gossip", 2000 with James Marsden, Lena Headey, Norman Reedus, Kate Hudson. Shazam wouldn't recognize this song at the end of the movie. Thankfully searching " gossip why you gotta be so mean to me" helped
I have loved this song from the SECOND I heard it way back at the turn of the Millennium. It's 2022 and I'm still listening to it. It's in fact a masterpiece.
Yeah that was the best movie in a long time. I don;t have that vhs vid., anymore. But that is where I saw this video for the first time. At the very beginning of the movie. Nice times
Wow, I am now 52 years old and Tonic nailed it from my junior high school days, I am a Survivor, Successful. I hope those people who tortured me back in the day know that they lost. They are old and ugly now. I am not. LOL
I saw these guys and soul asylum yesterday live. I got to meet all the members of both bands (except for tonic's drummer) and they were really really nice guys.
Considering this is probably coming from someone who doesn't even play a instrument Alice n chains, the cult, valient thor that's hard rock get your shit n facts straight let me guess you consider weezer hard rock too just because they turn their amps up loud doesn't mean it's hard rock it's chord progression legato phrasing arpeggios what makes up a hard rock band to a pop rock band dude
damn rite .....I actually agree with you about this not being even close to hard rock...however you are an idiot for taking that comment so personally...lol...get a life.
Tonic has always been kind of under rated compared to those other bands. If more people called in and requested tonic then Tonic would be played on the Air more.
There's an empty place inside that is hurting me A place that keeps my heart out on it's own A disconnected function of my wretchedness That keeps me so hard pressed It's a place where words are spoken you Will never hear A broken bridge of lines that just won't come An empty lung that won't give the wind To speak at me How far can it be from home Why you gotta be so mean to me Why you gotta drag me down just to make me see You know I don't listen good and I'm always in need So why you gotta be so mean to me Do you think that it got up and left For good this time A crowd of faceless strangers moving on A feeling that you left it all behind you now That it doesn't hurt somehow To know Why you gotta be so mean to me Why you gotta drag me down just to make me see You know I don't listen good and I'm always in need So why you gotta be so mean to me So open up the book that you keep deep inside Let the pages yellow in the sun Show them that you're not afraid to let them see How far you can be From home Why you gotta be so mean to me Why you gotta drag me down just to make me see You know I don't listen good and I'm always in need So why you gotta be so fucking mean to me Why you gotta be Why you gotta be Why you gotta be Why you gotta be Why you gotta be Why you gotta be Why you gotta be so mean to me

I absolutely LOVE Tonic, they don't get enough credit. They're by far one of my favorite bands 💛
This was one of my favorite tonic songs if not the favorite. Beautiful song

Hahaha, from one old hag to another, me too! I wish everyone would just freaking zip it and stop 'riffing' all over the place. Its exhausting
That´s because they were real musicians. To write songs is a mix of science and art. Your soul is printed, not money.
Amen jpeopolis!
@@mhuss I hate myself for typing that now that I'm ACTUALLY a hag! lol I was in my early 20s back then. I was such a nonce! haha
I’m actually younger than most people here and I love this band!
Heard this from the movie Gossip(2000)....Great to see it had a Music video as well
All these years later, and the song still gives me goosebumps.
Boy this song brings me nostalgia!
I loved this band, one of the coolest bands of the 90s. Good music is not always the most popular.

2024 says you guys are still awesome.
Best band I ever saw live... Las Vegas, free concert. It rained like crazy. they played.
it started pouring rain... june or july... they were awesome
Everyone of Tonic's songs mean so much to me.
This song hits home for me. My late husband was an alcoholic & he was terrible with me, put me down, blamed me for things that weren't my fault, called me names & everything I did he considered "stupid". Hearing this song reminded me of those painful days before the booze killed him! I love this song because I couldn't have said it better myself, speaking from my own personal experience. I love this band!
I can relate... My husband was also an abusive alcoholic...
This is a great band... how did I miss these guys??? Better late than never.
Norman brought me here, but regardless of that I loved the song. Definitely gonna be a new favorite.
Saw these guys in a club where they rocked out to like 40 of us. Totally rocked out!! I'll never forget how good they sounded.
Same bro

@@dougl.6461 so many people domt realize how little time band members have to watch another band gig.
@@davidblack4195 tru dat. Try being a drummer too...lol
Im 15 I like modern and classic rock they need to put this on the air
Now you're 25, you're older than me by almost half a decade lol
I’m 18 now, and I gotta say man you’re still not wrong
Tonic is one of the best bands i have ever heard i have all the albums the very best in my book
Holy moly wish I seen all this right away
"You know I don't listen good; and I'm always in need."
Some of the best of the 90s. Takes me back...
" Why you gotta be so fuckin mean to me"
Fuck yeah
I love that he says it once...
I dedicate this song to anybody ever been picked on by a bully at school!
Did you write the song?
This song. This album. The best years of my life, and part of the soundtrack of those years. Thanks guys.
Same here. I was in my early 20s when this came out and I miss the 90s so much. These guys are on my Life Soundtrack for sure.
Before "American Pie" starts on VHS👌🏼🔥
Thank you lmao 😂
that's exactly why i came to this video
I remember that
🤣🤣
Song sung true all these Years!
Anybody else here because you had forgotten this truly gem of a band The melodies and lyrics and guitar work is just fabulous perfection, IDK why this video has ONLY 729k views that's very strange.
Sooooo under rated. Amazing song/band.
This is the first thing I ever heard and saw from Tonic. I loved it!
Goosebumps everytime I listen to this song...
Powerful statement at the very end! This is one of my fav Tonic songs.
Best band ever, end stop.
True song writers. Vary rare nowadays. If you get a chance to see this band....do. 55 people don't know talent when they hear it.
good luck seeing Tonic with Jeff Russo...the new guy can't harmonize at all
This used to be a special song for me, it still is, I travelled to Amsterdam to see this band live, I would do it again! @tonicband
never heard of this band's songs. This is fantastic.
Love Tonic going to see them tonight in Cincinnati. Can't wait to see them live. Love all the songs brings me back to my youth.
I remember watching this video while getting ready for elementary school lol. Still love it at 27. 💜 Amazing talent and written straight from the heart.
Alli that's great. I loved it first in high school and still now at 37.
Killer 90s band! 💪
Never took an interest in much 90's music with the exception of Green Day, Collective Soul and these guys. Twenty plus years later, I still like their sound.
Love that close up eye contact
If you've ever felt like this song asks your not alone!
Love this song!!!!
WE WANT MORE TONIC!!!! YOU GUyS ARE AWSOME!
i agree with that last comments.. REALLLY brings back the college days... For me
I figured out why nobody can find Norman in this vid - this isn't the original one that was aired when it first came out. the original starts with talking and slow-zooms on a computer. Norman shows up a few SECONDS into the vid. you can't miss him.
+LadySumner13 Thanks for telling me
Great song
Amazing Song! Tonic + 90s music=AWESOME!
My high skool days,good stuff
I just saw Tonic last week and they are still amazing. They played a new song called - Release Me. They still got it.
Awesome band ❤❤❤plus he's so handsome 😍
Still the best! 💕
Your usually the one that's mean to yourself the most. I know that's true for me. I'm my own worst enemy!
Still 💘 this man
Crying I miss you
In love with song!! Why you gotta drag me down just to make me see??! Yeah...
the movie "Gossip" with Lena Headey brought me to know this amazing band and this song particularly!
I forgot that this song exist
shame on you
Got the same feelings.
Just watched "Gossip", 2000 with James Marsden, Lena Headey, Norman Reedus, Kate Hudson. Shazam wouldn't recognize this song at the end of the movie. Thankfully searching " gossip why you gotta be so mean to me" helped
The original American Pie, but they were already established!
Favorite song
this is one awesome song i love the lyrics
I have loved this song from the SECOND I heard it way back at the turn of the Millennium. It's 2022 and I'm still listening to it. It's in fact a masterpiece.
So there's a movie called gossip and a movie called cruel intentions and this song plays at the very end of it and I love it oh so much
This should have been there 1st hit single, not if you could only see although that one wasn't too bad
Stop being mean to me 😅😅😅😅❤❤❤
This is from the movie Gossip, awesome song! Forget Norman filming.. Someone should be filming Norman (Travis) and I..😏
To those that said the video is low-budget-looking, they did smash two guitars and 4 custom mannequins. That's prolly a couple grand right there.
Anyone else remember seeing the movie Gossip and this song being the title track for it?
🥀Very unique song it's so different so good I love this song🥀☝️🥀
Yeah that was the best movie in a long time. I don;t have that vhs vid., anymore. But that is where I saw this video for the first time. At the very beginning of the movie. Nice times
Love this song awsome group!!
It's fun to miss with people who don't know this song
Where is Norman Reedus? I came here to see Norman and I didn't see him.
same, haha maybe the arms were his
+Clauddie Crown I'm here for Norman too ;D
I'm here for Norman too. 😂❤
Misayi Ii mee too
Wow, I am now 52 years old and Tonic nailed it from my junior high school days, I am a Survivor, Successful. I hope those people who tortured me back in the day know that they lost. They are old and ugly now. I am not. LOL
The Scarlet Shadows: Tonic formed in 1993. Lemon Parade came out in 1996. That's 20 years ago. So you were 32 in Junior High?
@@brownleg9496 Yeah, the timeline is suspect lol.
This was a good friends favorite song. He died last year, but i keep coming back here and think about him.
LUV this Group...Luv This Song!~!
This sound is so nostalgic 🎯
I saw these guys and soul asylum yesterday live. I got to meet all the members of both bands (except for tonic's drummer) and they were really really nice guys.
well said guys, the 90s was the best.......
When actually pop music was good tonic as cohesive unit knows how to make meaningful loud pop music
That's rock tonic plays not pop idk where u got the idea they play pop they play hard rock not pop
Considering this is probably coming from someone who doesn't even play a instrument Alice n chains, the cult, valient thor that's hard rock get your shit n facts straight let me guess you consider weezer hard rock too just because they turn their amps up loud doesn't mean it's hard rock it's chord progression legato phrasing arpeggios what makes up a hard rock band to a pop rock band dude
damn rite .....I actually agree with you about this not being even close to hard rock...however you are an idiot for taking that comment so personally...lol...get a life.
17 17 i got one considering your responded to my orginal comment go kick rocks
Soft rock if anything lol pop is really good when it's like this
They got some pretty good airplay with “if you could only see “ and “sugar”
great song!
God loves you 💕
I like this song!
Just love this band..... Xx
I don't know if anybody discovered this song the same way but i remember hearing this song on a vhs copy of American Pie
great fuckin movie and Norman Reedus is fine as hell in it. 😍😍
still a great band!
Great BAND CLASSIC
This song is for my love MdL.I miss you anytime my princess,I love You for ever.
Louie C.K. stars in the Tonic story XD
Tonic has always been kind of under rated compared to those other bands. If more people called in and requested tonic then Tonic would be played on the Air more.
God bless them...Local H as well...
This song isn’t as appreciated as it should be
Louis ck has put on some weight since then
Hahahahahahahahaha!, I knew he looked like someone but I couldn't place it.
Hahahaha
completely underrated song
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
There's an empty place inside that is hurting me
A place that keeps my heart out on it's own
A disconnected function of my wretchedness
That keeps me so hard pressed
It's a place where words are spoken you
Will never hear
A broken bridge of lines that just won't come
An empty lung that won't give the wind
To speak at me
How far can it be from home
Why you gotta be so mean to me
Why you gotta drag me down just to make me see
You know I don't listen good and I'm always in need
So why you gotta be so mean to me
Do you think that it got up and left
For good this time
A crowd of faceless strangers moving on
A feeling that you left it all behind you now
That it doesn't hurt somehow
To know
Why you gotta be so mean to me
Why you gotta drag me down just to make me see
You know I don't listen good and I'm always in need
So why you gotta be so mean to me
So open up the book that you keep deep inside
Let the pages yellow in the sun
Show them that you're not afraid to let them see
How far you can be From home
Why you gotta be so mean to me
Why you gotta drag me down just to make me see
You know I don't listen good and I'm always in need
So why you gotta be so fucking mean to me
Why you gotta be
Why you gotta be
Why you gotta be
Why you gotta be
Why you gotta be
Why you gotta be
Why you gotta be so mean to me
I wish I wasn't on this road iam on its only because I nevrr seen the help or any help to be honest
It would be nice to see a HD upgrade of this clip, like the other Tonic clips that look great.
they deserve more viewes, I dont know why are so unrated ?
❤❤❤
A fitting culmination for an angry decade.
♥️♥️
