I know that no one is going to care to read this but I am a 16 year old drummer in the band The First Impression. We have a lyric video of are song on Youtube Called More Than You Know. Check it Out. It is worth your time.
I love 90's music. I wish it would come back. I've wrote some acoustic songs if anyone will check em out! Peace Love Empathy....you could hide beside me maybe for awhile!!
13 years ago i found out that i have illness and there is no cure for my illness. And this song was playing in the radio. Every time i hear this song it brings back the tears and this moment when doctor tell me there my life will change.
Such a great song. Saw them in concert in Toronto with front row seats and when they played this song it brought Tears to my eyes. so beautiful.. miss the 90s music..
@threelias I thought he sung "we're on top of common history" instead of "reruns all become our history". But by listening closer I heard you're right. Thanks for clarify :)
Aah how I love this song. Everytime I listen to it I become dazzled by its presence. There is something so real and innocent I feel when I hear this song, like I'm transported back to my childhood. Are you a truth seeker? If you are, you must check out this Truth Contest. Visit 'TruthContest' '.com' Read the top entry “The Present”. It’s not what you think it is.
ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE SONGS...NEVER MADE ME CRY BEFORE UNTILL MY DAD PASSED AWAY..WHEN HE SAYS "I THINK ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME...I ALWAYS SHED A TEAR...MISS THE 90'S. THATS WHEN MUSIC WAS REAL.
@aaron9099 If you try to tune up to most of the Goo Goo Dolls' hit songs, you will break the G string or the B string every time from too much tension
like if you have thought about checking the views after you have viewed it, to see if it actually goes up one when your done but you forget every time!
Hopes, ambitions, dreams............and life; In my opinion the song captures the challenges and hurdles that many people face day to day when they reflect on their childhood dreams and where their adult life has taken them .Simply put this song is awesome !!
the 90's was the last era where we had a good amount of freedom, and America was not sold out by the government, conspiring with the special interests and corporations[banks] who sold us out, and are taking it all away. The music was a reflection of the strength, individuality and character we all felt we had...the music will return when we all get back to who we are ~!
@423musicfan Agreed, my lengthy sentence may have made my sentence seem contrary..the government is constantly killing the smaller banks, who might want to actually serve the community, to leave us with very few, "too big to fail" banks, that are consuming the wealth of the people they should be serving, along with the gov.
From me to you, wherever you are. "I won't tell no one your name" You're my best friend in the whole world and I'm so in love with you. We both know this....I don't know where home is. We can find out together.
it was awesome...I was born in 90...i miss the days when music was still music and people wrote songs because they were inspired instead of buying them from someone else to make a profit. kudos for listening to this....kudos lol
I don´t like the music from the ´90. also, i don´t like this music and I don´t really enjoy this band. But this is not crap, it´s just a good pop music from the ´90.
This is the song that saved goo Goo Dolls. A DJ in San Diego started spinning this track innocently and it caught fire and took off across the US. Without this song, they would have disappeared into the annuls of music because no one was playing their album.
why do people butcher their songs? by cutting out bits and pieces what did they save? maybe 15 or 20 seconds? it must have been the record company or mtv or some shit.
That's very lucky! There's a 90s station on Sirius radio too. It's awesome. They tend to play a lot of the hip hop and boy band pop too, but they switch it up quite a bit. I think it's just whatever they feel like playing. Haha

@centerforce2 so what? we can't like all the music...i like ggd and i like zeppelin too. rzeznik has the right to like any band he wants to just like everyone of us.. u people often forget everyone is different
I have different feelings about this song and its meaning every time I come back to it. I used to think it was about the inevitability of death and how everything is temporary over a long enough time line. The futility of existence. Now I get a more positive vibe from it. The lyrics are so vague and yet personal at the same time. Everybody can get something completely different from it.

If I had to pick one song to take with me into eternity, if I was forced to choose, this is the one for me. It was 1995, I just entered into recovery, and this beautiful song entered into my heart where it will remain forever.
i'm so happy for this band. i can't believe how different they sounded in the beginning, and this is the song that truly made them the band they are today. if this song was never written, then none of us could have ever experienced "the goo goo dolls" in their true form. it's amazing, and words cannot describe how much i love this song. my favorite band forever!<3
I was living in the Middle East at the time listening to a Lebanese radio station when they came out with Iris they used to play the song constantly and I loved it but I never caught the name of the band until one day I was listening to a radio station broadcasting from London they were counting down the top ten hits and this song was number 1 you could imagine my response I was in SHOCK I couldn't believe it they announced they were from Buffalo N.Y. that was an amazing unforgettable moment
I remember when I was in highschool I used to have a friend her name was Cheri she used to always ask me if I wanted to go with her to see the Goo Goo Dolls perform back when they were a local band in Buffalo ,my response was" who would want to see a wannabe local band when they will never amount to anything" it was so funny when I finally found out they made it BIG
@gutterflower85 That is one of my favorite lyrics ever because it resonates with me so much. I have a lot of scars. While I may regret some of the things I did to get them, they are a part of me and a tangible link to who I used to be.

Hey i like the Goo Goo Dolls too but, go to.... Name- Goo Goo Dolls(Cover by Mark Boutilier)!! He Blows the the dolls right out of their house for real!!!

@MrPetiepuss actually... there is a ton of this music out there, but we don't get to hear it because of ridiculous marketing by record companies. Everyone has to have a gimmick or sound exactly like everything else on the "radio". For me, Youtube has actually become my favorite outlet for music, as anyone can post their material, not just those who've sold their soul and given up on their true sound for some record company's idea of what is "hot right now"
@MrPetiepuss There may not be good mainstream music anymore, but the good news is that we all have ipods and computers, and therefore, we don't NEED to listen to the crap on the radio. It gives us a lot more freedom than you realize. We may not be in the 90s anymore, but take notice of the fact that we're able to watch this music video anyway. :) Life is good! Enjoy the music that you love!
@ampedup455 You are SO right!! I have GOOD music on my computer: Metallica, Ozzy, Michael Jackson, Tiesto, Maná, Foo Fighters, Goo Goo Dolls, Madonna, Soundgarden, Joe Jackson, The Beatles, Miguel Bosé, Enrique Iglesias, Van Halen, Gin Blossoms, Mozart, George Acosta, Oakenfold, Danzig, M.A. Solís Foster the People, Bob Marley, The Hollies, Megadeth, Lady Ga Ga, Satriani, John Williams, CCR, TOOL, Run DMC, Earth, Wind and Fire, Social Distortion and COUNTLESS other GREAT musicians and bands!!!!
Luckily, a local radio station does play a ton of 90s stuff. Oasis, everlast, goo goo dolls, Live, Smashing Pumpkins, etc. But you have a great point.
THIS SONG CAME OUT AT A VERY DIFFICULT TIME IN MY LIFE WHEN I WAS AROUND 16 OR SO..... AND IT HAS HELPED ME OUT SO MANY TIMES TO STOP AND REMEMBER THESE LYRICS.... THEY JUST ALWAYS STILL CALM ME AND SEEM TO PUT IT ALL IN PERSPECTIVE AND TAKE ME BACK TO TIMES WHEN ALL YOU NEEDED WAS A GOOD SONG AND A FEW GOOD FRIENDS :)
I'm a writer, and really Goo Goo Dolls are one of the very few mainstream bands that I really think write poetry to music. Their lyrics are absolutely wonderful.
I searched up "In Hild's Name". Got this? Whut?!

i'm so happy for this band. i can't believe how different they sounded in the beginning, and this is the song that truly made them the band they are today. if this song was never written, then none of us could have ever experienced "the goo goo dolls" in their true form. it's amazing, and words cannot describe how much i love this song. my favorite band forever!<3

I was living in the Middle East at the time listening to a Lebanese radio station when they came out with Iris they used to play the song constantly and I loved it but I never caught the name of the band until one day I was listening to a radio station broadcasting from London they were counting down the top ten hits and this song was number 1 you could imagine my response I was in SHOCK I couldn't believe it they announced they were from Buffalo N.Y. that was an amazing unforgettable moment

I remember when I was in highschool I used to have a friend her name was Cheri she used to always ask me if I wanted to go with her to see the Goo Goo Dolls perform back when they were a local band in Buffalo ,my response was" who would want to see a wannabe local band when they will never amount to anything" it was so funny when I finally found out they made it BIG

@gutterflower85 That is one of my favorite lyrics ever because it resonates with me so much. I have a lot of scars. While I may regret some of the things I did to get them, they are a part of me and a tangible link to who I used to be.

This is the best song of the Goo Goo Dolls. Their songs are so unique and powerful. Everytime I think about the mid 90s, this is the song I remember.
drwestm83 4 months ago
This is part of why the world is so chaotic now, because we have lost the love and honesty we used to have back in those days, and the days before. Songs like this have helped me inch by inch to get mine back, and I pray it does the same for everyone else.
God bless you Goo Goo Dolls, your songs are emotionally strong and life altering.

wetnoodle666 3 months ago
@MrPetiepuss actually... there is a ton of this music out there, but we don't get to hear it because of ridiculous marketing by record companies. Everyone has to have a gimmick or sound exactly like everything else on the "radio". For me, Youtube has actually become my favorite outlet for music, as anyone can post their material, not just those who've sold their soul and given up on their true sound for some record company's idea of what is "hot right now"

@MrPetiepuss There may not be good mainstream music anymore, but the good news is that we all have ipods and computers, and therefore, we don't NEED to listen to the crap on the radio. It gives us a lot more freedom than you realize. We may not be in the 90s anymore, but take notice of the fact that we're able to watch this music video anyway. :) Life is good! Enjoy the music that you love!

Luckily, a local radio station does play a ton of 90s stuff. Oasis, everlast, goo goo dolls, Live, Smashing Pumpkins, etc. But you have a great point.

THIS SONG CAME OUT AT A VERY DIFFICULT TIME IN MY LIFE WHEN I WAS AROUND 16 OR SO..... AND IT HAS HELPED ME OUT SO MANY TIMES TO STOP AND REMEMBER THESE LYRICS.... THEY JUST ALWAYS STILL CALM ME AND SEEM TO PUT IT ALL IN PERSPECTIVE AND TAKE ME BACK TO TIMES WHEN ALL YOU NEEDED WAS A GOOD SONG AND A FEW GOOD FRIENDS :)

I'm a writer, and really Goo Goo Dolls are one of the very few mainstream bands that I really think write poetry to music. Their lyrics are absolutely wonderful.
