  • GTFO gvander 

  • Overthought and overwrought. Not aging well is it?

  • "Montani Semper Liberi"

  • The mountains are winning again

  • Anyone else hear this song and automatically wanna crack open a cold Busch Light?

  • This video AND song are probably the best paired. What I am talking about is I talked to John Popper back in '01 and asked him about this exact song. He told me it was written purely about depression. I was too stupid to listen to the lyrics. Then watching this video, it is so artistically well done in pairing what he meant in the song and what was going on in the video. He is not only a great songwriter, but a really great guy.

  • can someone explain the crazy scary guy jumping on cars?

    

  • I never knew there was a video for this song, weird

  • Hello Everyone!

    It’s Music that’s keeping me alive.

    My life is so difficult and the only thing to forget my problems is the Music.

    All of you will think I’m crazy but you’re wrong

    Because singing and writing I can be who really I am.

    I’m so grateful because now I can smile, dreaming, screaming. (And I owe it all to music and to god)

    Well, I made some covers and I just upload it to my channel and I’ll be grateful if you stop by my channel and check it out.

    Thank you so much!!

  • @Anlimema No offense, but your covers had nothing to do with this band.

  • fantastic song, pure and simple

  • this had to be one of my favorite songs on this record

  • such a great band. god i love john poppers lyrics.

  • I know sour, which allows me to appreciate the sweet. ..... because without the bitter, baby,the sweet ain't as sweet.

  • have loved this song since i first heard it on head bangers ball many many moons ago :)

  • I love music with meaning in a time when there's just too much noise out there.

  • I can't stop listening to this video. Humm it all day and breath it in my sleep.

    Amazing song !

  • FanfkingTastic!!!!!!!!

  • being blessed to see them play this song warms my heart

  • gotta love these guys nice feeling flow in all their songs just a wonderful group

  • @themanofmovies Yes indeed!

  • What a phenomenal group of people. I'd give just about anything to turn on the radio to hear something as decent as this.

  • @nieze20 Well said.I could not agree more. Songwriting is a craft that seems all but dead today.

  • I absolutely love this band.  You can tell that the lead singer loves the outdoors and mountains. Incredible.

  • God i love to hear that harmonica wail!!!

  • There are alot of these songs like this from the 90s that are pure gold that most people have never heard of. The 90s just missed the era of mass communication. At least we have them.

  • Song is great ! Bands like this that make me continue my playing , until I am to old to do it ! Check out my page .

    Mr. Terry's neighborhood garage

  • I love this song

  • What this song really needs...is some cowbell.

  • @LeCutter Finally someone who thinks like me

  • isnt the lead singer that dude from LOST?

  • @LePetitGrosse Nope

  • One of Blues Traveler's best songs!

  • AHHHH... Bush, the Mountains Win Again.

  • This is one of my absolutely favorite songs and they never really played it. Love the pain in the harmonica solo!

  • missed boob grab opportunity at 00:50

  • The way they all start "singing" the song after bumping into each other reminds me of The Fallen with Denzel Washington. At least they aren't singing "Time Is On My Side". For those who haven't seen the movie, if you're into Psycological thrillers, I highly recommend it.

  • WTF does this video mean?

  • @estranged55 The song is a virus, that is spreading from one person to the next. Some get infected, while others are immune. (According to Pop-Up Video.)

  • beautiful song did'nt understand the video.

  • I like how this band always played it's music with the common man in mind.

    These guys never forgot where they came from before they became famous and got lots of money.

    I can show true respect for that, to never forget your origins.

  • 4 ppl have never been to the mountains.. love blues traveler!!!

  • I DONT WANT TO SEE AN ADVERTISEMENT FOR JANET JACKSON'S CRAP MUSIC WHEN IM WATCHING A ROCK & ROLL MUSIC VIDEO!!!! F*CK!!!!!!!!

  • @kevin122380 pay the subsciption price and stop bitching

  • @1105tnutt Uh, no! If Everything in the USA wasnt fascist w would be alot better off! Corporations run everything!

  • Comment removed

  • @kevin122380 duh

  • Respond to this video...  duh

  • This song screws with me every time I hear it....

  • i was like #420 :D

  • love this song !

  • Comment removed

  • this is one of the best for images and production. clearly the mtns won again.

  • I feel so small i think im gonna disapear ,there,s nothing left of me but the pain .

    

  • Thanks to VH1 Classic Pop Up Video for introducing me to this song!!!!!

  • 4 people can't admit defeat to the mountains

  • Mountains are a metaphor for breasts here right?

  • Warren Haynes must not have been able to be in the video. Too bad.

  • this video about chechen lol

  • one of the most underated bands of the 90's Era

  • @MommyBird10 Where are these ratings that everyone talks about when they say "underrated". Three Gold albums, one Platinum album and one Multi-Platinum album (6x) and a Grammy, thats around 9 million copies sold on just those alone. What the heck underrated about that Id say they were one of the BIGGEST bands of the 90's. Id say the use of the term "Underrated" is very Overrated .

  • @john69jets when people use that saying it usually just means they personally didn't appreciate the band back in the day and NOW THEY DO!! they now appreciate it ha, only talking about themselves

  • @john69jets Yeah, but so many artists seem to get that shit that its almost of no value.

  • @Lamentfordeath They get that shit for selling albums. That is what it is, the value is that it goes to show their popularity. Doesn't really matter individual taste. Little Wayne puts an album out it may go Platinum the first week, i personally wouldn't be able to tell you a song but its still Platinum.

  • @john69jets Thanks for stating the obvious. My point is that in a heavily consumerist society everything seems to sell too well, which is why I don't base musical talent on what goes platinum. Popularity is of no value to me when it comes to music.

  • @john69jets I think it is in the sense that they are not mentioned in the mainstream media today (like Nirvana, Journey or Suede), and they haven't got a cult following (that I know of anyway) like for example Phish and Nirvana , and that's important if you wanna be remembered 20 years after you made music

  • @MommyBird10 and what WERE you listening to in the 90's? heh

  • OOhhhh a rock just smashed my hand!!! The mountains win again!!!

  • Blues Traveler is cool. I remember this song when I was getting into mountain biking in the 90s... sometimes the mountain wins again.

  • best song they ever wrote... Bush beer song, thats where i first heard this song

  • best song they ever wrote...

  • FUCK VEVO! I THINK THE CORPORATIONS ARE MAKING THE NORMAL VIDS KEEP STOPPING! WHO'S WITH ME!!! ? LALALALALAL!

  • @2:05 the little girl has a lisp so cute

  • thanks vevo for effing up another video

  • mmmmmmmmm.....beer

  • I miss these guys! They were so under-appreciated. I always thought this was their best song.

  • lol 3:37 the lady ran over his crazy ass lol fail!!!

  • YEAH OLD MAN WALKING LIKE A HOBO!!!!!!!

  • hello, please don,t do that again:(

  • Is that Scott Stapp at 2:25....lol

  • Those mountains...Damn Them. 

  • @emmarhiannon That's Warren Haynes?!? That explains it then. I was just thinking that Kinchla really stepped it up on this track but Haynes makes more sense. Not taking anything from Chan but there IS only 1 Warren Haynes. :)

  • @balfred1980 yep! i would know that guitar anywhere (and its on the album credits) :P

  • Comment removed

  • greatest blues traveler song ever. warren haynes is playing in this track. melts my heart every time.

  • checkout my page and sub thank all

  • Too bad this song was made after John Denver's Funeral......Too Soon?

  • Several years ago they played the Riverbend Festival in Chattanooga.  This was the song they finished their set with. It was amazing.

  • The Most Amazing Harmonica Playing I Have EVER Heard In My Life!

    Have always loved this band since I could remember.

    Great lyrics with meaning and beautiful voice.

  • The sea forgives all. Not like those mean mountains.

  • I liked Just Wait from 4 --- too bad it was never a hit for them :-(

  • Always Liked Blues Traveler, But this is definatley one of they're best songs for me by far!

  • Damn I love this song so very much. It just makes me feel good and gives me chills. I could honestly listen to it every day and never get tired of it. sing along!

  • I had a Friend that looked just like the lead singer, But I blew our friendship and now this is as close as I can get to see him, And go figure this song is hideing who you really are.......Miss you Big Rob you were the best friend I ever or probablly will ever have in the rest of my life!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @CCLAY2PLAY Try to talk to him...good luck :)

  • @CCLAY2PLAY Big Rob don't ruin this for everyone.

  • @CCLAY2PLAY ....quit whining about it and do something, unless he points a gun in your face you can always try and be his friend again

  • @CCLAY2PLAY you should not have slept with her and broke his heart. he is okay though

  • @CCLAY2PLAY we all mess up brotherman........

  • BUSCH BEER!!!!!!!

  • oh video footage clears me

  • i like this song as well as the others by Blues Traveler-- this is the 1st time I heard this song & will have to pick up their CD. Love the beat & song. Very cool song

  • That final part with those mimes was just "EPIC WIN" !

  • Advertisement: your video will start in 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...... FUCK OFF!!!! Isnt that part of the point of youtube? No commercials?

  • favourite music video ever, the mime bit was great !

  • pain fail. noone will take my mountains!

  • Love you! Come to finland! come to my wedding! Seriously.. keep doing what u doing :)

  • Thumbs up if Warren Miller's Global Adventures brought u here =D

  • I saw them on A&E 's Private Sessions a while back. They have matured and John Popper had lost a bunch of weight.

  • i was bet that i couldn't listen to this song without instantly wanting a beer. i lost the bet.

  • For some reason I want a beer

  • this melody is haunting

  • their videos are amazing

  • awesome lyrics

  • I know exactly what he's talking about, but so does anyone who has gone through a rough break up with someone they love.

  • Press F5 to skip all vevo intros commercials

  • all their song titles have meaning its so nice to hear songs with depth

  • Who's causing that racket on the fire escape? We should have them arrested! Oh it's just Blues Traveler. Carry on gentleman.

  • BUSCHHHHHHH!!!

  • R.I.P Bobby Sheehan

  • The music videos are very clever, but I really think they are so distracting from the messages that Blues Traveler has in their music. So, I can't watch, just want to hear the music.

  • Buschhhhhhhhhhh

  • Beautiful!!!

  • "mountain get outta my way"....old negro gospel...like the warren guitar solo too

  • Im going to see these guys for the 4th of July at RED ROCKS!!!! I cant wait!!

  • why am i watching comercials on you tube??

  • @overnutts Just hit your left back button when the commercial starts and then the right back button. The cookie thinks that the commercial played and it wont play again. Well .... for awhile at least.

  • Mountains = things that may seem to high or tough to overcome. Life is a simple climb up the mountain. We slide back down many times but the key is to keep trying to overcome them one more time.

  • Great song!

  • This is Booby Sheenans masterpiece and it will carry his legacy forever.

  • just happened

    boss has always compared me with the old worker... I tried my best to keep this hurtful mind of being compared .. pretend to laugh to smile like I didnt know what he was tryin to say ... but finally the mountain in my heart just won , today...not a robot , and you cant keep it last

  • This song can mean so many different things to each individual that hears it. The video is just vague enough to allow us to keep personally defining just exactly what "The Mountains" actually are in our own minds. In my opinion that is the true brilliance of most great songs. To convey an emotion or thought w/o being so specific that the listeners of the song cannot fill in a lot of the content within in our own minds, & thereby making the song become our song too.

  • @funwelldone right on man ;)!!!

  • The mountains rule!!!!

  • Awesome song and Band!

    Does anyone know who the girl is in the beginning of the song?

  • the beer commercial ruined it

  • John Popper is THE MAN !!

  • I think by MOUNTAINS Bobby sheehan meant our EMOTIONS, what do you all think??? BEAUTIFUL HARMONY AND LYRICS once again, BT has lyrics to die for!!!

  • Head for the mountains of Busch

  • The mountains just gave me a good kick in the ass!... Blues Traveler is even better live but the album is also great... Would love to see them again!

  • blues traveler is so good

  • The mountain is too BIG!!!  nothing could cover it...

  • These guys are playing at bonnaroo this year.

  • @ledheadmbf, hell yeah to the roo see ya there!

  • Love it!

    Thank you and Resonantforce for sharing!

    xo

  • :o) xo

  • does anyone have the tab for harmonica for this song?

  • Nice song....stupid video.

  • @spareaxe I agree, the video does nothing for the image in my mind when I listen to this song.

  • This is a band I would love to hear some new stuff from. I want to say that I want to hear how they have "matured" but I think they've got it right. I just want to hear more cool songs.

  • @dpotter79 unfortunately John Popper has lost his voice a bit, not sure why, not that much of a geek, but the more recent stuff is def. not as edgy

  • @onegreyeye - Biologically, men lose their voice as time goes by while women's voices get better...It's why Elton John can't hit the high notes anymore and why Dolly Parton has been going strong all these years... it's a biological thing, not a Archie Bunker thing...

  • @dpotter79- This tune was 15 years ago.... the bass player OD'ed on Heroin and the lead singer inflated to the point of having a hard time getting around.... Blues Traveler made their money and they have headed off into the sunset retirement home

  • I thought Popper had his stomach stapled and lost a bunch of weight???

  • he might of... good for him if he did... If the band is still touring they have a website..

  • @dpotter79 - Their bassist died a few years ago, I don't know that they've done much if anything since then.

    

  • Damn those mountains! They win every time.
