[therealbrendancarey]

I am only 14 and this song brings back so many memories with all the people who have passed in my life., It gets me depressed at times, but at the same time it puts a smile on my face. Goo Goo Dolls is the best Underated band. I love this song so much I did a cover of it. :)

[crackparty]

This is one of the best songs in my living memory. I am 27 right now and have loved it since I first heard it when I was 11. I will be listening to this song until I'm too old to hear. And if that ever happens, I'm sure I will still be listening to it through memories. It's timeless.

[honniesduet]

the goo goo dolls change music.... into something better. 

[asifah24]

Right On,,,,

[TheWarauz]

when i was in my farm in nicaragua, i took my guitar and played this song sit on a big stone, my sadness went away right away

[maxx0xxam]

so manyb memories...

[CreedJenna]

One of my favs... sad yet brilliant!

[TheNonners1]

ahhh music is what feelings sound like...and man it instantly takes me to a place...<3 this effin song!

[WelcomeToTheLab]

"...Melissa..."

[kcarter4100]

Good Song Enough Said.

[intensestrat]

I've always loved this song because I've experienced what he's singing about. It's a sun song to play too, and I like to make sure the guitar is tuned the same as the studio recording, and I'll turn it up and play along with it. I laughed when I saw *guitar riff* on the screen when the acoustic riff begins, thought that was really cool. That might help explain why way more than two millions YouTubers watched this particular video. This is one song I'll never get tired of.

[Darcymamma]

i freaking love this song still my favorite thank-you for sharing

[click4dylan2]

3:17 best part of the whole song

[mattybfans]

absolutely love this song... makes me cry :'(... i dont wanna grow up

[Swingarwolf1]

moments passing by that you just can't seem to forget... if there is anyone that can't relate to that they simply aren't human

[american1476]

RonPaul2012 the freedom to live your dreams!!!!

[fearsveil]

the guitar riff is my favorite part... sooo good

[Fizzypop412]

this song explains my life perfectly.

never pass up a chance at something amazing, you only live once.

[joegrimm218]

I miss the love of my life this song always makes me think of her smile. Better loved an lost then to not loved at all

[TheOceanblewis]

get in the 80's man it is the best of its hits

[TheOceanblewis]

i remember when i was watching tv the first time i heard this band it rocked the house bring it tell your friends this is a hit

[lilyfrogs15]

I remember when this song came out I LOVE IT and still do. Today I seen the lyrics of this song and I was wrong on some of the words lol. This song has sooooo much meaning. I see this song in a different light now. Great Job



[KillerKid]

Takes me back to University, me and a girl from theater class would sneak off behind the buildings, and out into the forest. Those- those were the days.

[kanaja421]

This is such a great band!

[payatbatchoy26]

everytime i hear this song I feel a pinch right through my chest and I don't know why..

[ifiwasabug]

I still think about her...

[telhacerta]

@ifiwasabug Me too, but I've got to stop.

[Smalls]

@ifiwasabug we all do

[94surferchik]

Listening to this song gives me goosebumps

this song has many interpretations to it, some i read online.. when we were kids, we had big dreams of doing something w/ our lives.but as time goes on.our dreams change and we become different people w/ different motives and get lost in the world..It reminds me of school; you had your tight group of friends..but time goes on and you've changed. however a friend wants to be there for you, but isn't sure how cuz ur lost in the crowd and can't be reached.

[Mjusikk4u]

2 340 916 views?! Seriously, am I the only one watching this?

[abbyskarbowski]

This song makes me think of when my mom and I went on spontaneous road trips like we used to do all the time, because it always played on the radio. It's probably my favorite song, at least for the moment.

[guettoprinzezz17]

i want this to be played at my wedding

[macgoo32]

This is the story of my 16th year on earth... I sware John stalks me

[googoorockfan]

For jake? That's me!

[edgesofthought]

fuck this song makes me feel depressed but with a strange mixed feeling of happiness. Makes me feel sad but at the same time gives my face a smile, very few songs do that to me. Great memories, great life, sad moments, sad times, but when I listen to this all of that makes me smile :)

[mattybfans]

@edgesofthought could not have said it better...

[cityxandxcolour]

@edgesofthought Well said

[iEATNightmares]

@edgesofthought well said

[flipflopromeo]

"I won't tell your name", deep lyrics ....John's just one of the best ballad lyricist there is, no questions.

[DrCael]

As I listen to this song, and "Iris" as well, I wonder if they wrote both songs from the perspective of a superhero or something. The lyrics fit, I'm just thinking out loud.

[Swingarwolf1]

The feelings I get when he says "and even though the moment passed me by" send chills down my spine and makes me feel so human... so alive

[dantecry12]

finally not a cheesy love song! :D

[nazarhuda]

@dantecry12 Did he say Cheesy? Oh Screw YOU!

[Peke0613]

I had listed to this song in my office till i finally Shazamed in and i like th eGoo Goo Dols

[DetriotSuuuh]

My karaoke song!

[smoth7]

I miss the 90s, I remember cool nights, good friends, good conversations and this song on someones mix tape.

[royalty890]

Still a great song with a lot of heart.

[daloreshuertA]

absoloutly love the song. best song on a boy named goo, one of the best songs of the 90s

[brendanaruba]

81 people dont have names

[XxMutilatedxX]

Amazing song. Just drift away with this song on with the wind blowing :)

[11799O]

I love this song very much, it always brings back good memories. I would definetly want this song to be sung at my funeral.

[popgurl77]

My dad asked me to play this song at his funeral when he died when I was 7. I haven't forgot.

[ballssofsteel9898]

good music s ong good old 90s

[Hefenstahg]

@bowlcsc Lol

[BlueTeaCup02]

i was the 4,000 like!!!! yay!!

[angel3y3s84]

"dont it make you sad to know that life is more than who we are/grew up way to fast and now theres nothing to belive " idk if thats sad or what but that totally described my entire life right there

[MrSasquatch411]

I love you Amber! You are the greatest thing that ever happened to me <3 If you see this, text me I have a surprise for you

[bowlcsc]

@MrSasquatch411 did she text you, and what was the surprise?

[printthelegends]

It's lonely where you are. Come back down. I won't tell no one your name.

[KoKoCrisps]

this song inspires people to say the least

[gtarguy22]

i feel like watching this with the snow is so much more awesome.

[1mlb704]

Name > Iris. Love this song to death <3

[donteetpeople]

@1mlb704

As much as I love Iris I wholeheartedly agree with you. This is still the best song the Goo Goo Dolls have ever written.

[mario1136]

@1mlb704 Agreed

[Swingarwolf1]

@1mlb704 I think both songs are equally as powerful in their own ways... play Iris for a girl you really care about and she will melt... Listen to Name when you are feeling down and sit back as all your emotions coming flooding to the surface... both are perfect... both are beautiful

[1mlb704]

@Swingarwolf1 Agreed

[CA5EY11]

I always watch the credits

...well, maybe not always...but I did this time

[YukiiPhantomhive]

Sozzy but this song is rubbish :S

[Tariffs]

@YukiiPhantomhive

OMG YOUR RUBBISH!

Of course that's what a 12 year old would reply to you. But don't worry, if it's not for you, that's alright.

[curiouswitch]

Farr? Are you retarded?

[AfflictedSmile]

And reruns all become our history. There's so many truths in these lyrics. I love this song so much, andyet I hate it for being right. 

[amiaquariusiam]

@AfflictedSmile One is in the truth, from the begining. But the end many will see. For that is what they prayed for. But not for the truth.

[critter770]

This has to be one of my all time,turn it up an wash the world away songs.i can hear this five hundred times an it's just like the first.Wow

[jeffperry1134]

This has to one of my favorite songs ever. No matter how much I play it I still get goose bumps.

[Culture261]

"But I dont [NEED] the same"

[TheAliceOnline]

I think I love this song...

[bmx7596]

Kinda feel like a punk saying this, esp here, but this song makes me think of that one girl, you know, that one.

[tassadar4725]

@bmx7596 I know that feeling bro

[drnnhvcdsde]

Simply the best song ever written.

[PsychosisTheJuggalo]

@drnnhvcdsde I agree with that completly

[J0rdanRyan19]

this song is sad and kinda make's me cry if im having a bad day ):

[marci04771]

[goobertay]

[WOLFMANoct1963]

@goobertay thank you, this song the 1st time i heard it i was in my car i had to pull off the road because i was so overwhelmed i just had to stop. i love this song i told my family to play this at my funeral.

[MikaHakkinen83]

[MrRobbledobble]

[MrRobbledobble]

i love that line too but really life is not more than who we are because we are life. i mean who isn't a perfect example of life but a living being?

[MissHarmonyStudios]

... Johns music is amazing... But his public actions just disappointed me.

[sakonhagakure]

I've done this song in karaoke 1000 times and i can never remember the lyrics,

[dlund92]

"don't it make you sad to know that life is more then who we are?" this line never fails to make me cry

[milpog]

Like if you watch the credits anyway. :D

[iHeartHPandTwilight]

this should be our graduation song when we walk up to get our deplomas

[MrRobbledobble]

life is not hard. life is what u make it. peace and love. if u never tell her she will never know.

[tearlly]

@xxleandraxx1 How do you like him if you've never met him? Please don't tell me you met him online....HE COULD BE A PEDOPHILE!!!! :O

[gianefonda]

Goo Goo > GaGa

[jinx271]

[oldjizzy]

One of the greatest written lyrics .. . . .

Ever.

[666789443]

Holy shit this song is good.

[MissShannonsings]

i feel such a kinship with this song. dedicating songs has never really been my thing but i dedicate this to my friend, Shaun Carlson

[sweeneyfitzroy1995]

makes me think of my friend who up and left me and decided to completely drop out of my life.

[EspoEntertainment]

I remember when it was all "Goo Goo" and "Ga Ga"

[TheStarlight187]

Reminds me of....him... and I'm tranfering schools soon.But he won't miss me... </3

[redlips077]

I want to fall in love with someone to this song <3

[xxStrejkxx]

i love this song but i don't really know how to explain what the lyrics are about for my friend, can someone help me out? :)

[TheDlowe87]

@xxStrejkxx this song is about a girl who left the guy she liked so that she could be famous, and he promises that if she returns he will not tell anyone her name or the places she has been. Great song.

[xxStrejkxx]

@TheDlowe87 thanks :)

[sydandtaytum]

@TheDlowe87 @xxStrejkxx actually, johnny wrote this song about growing up without parents (they died when he was young) and his sisters raising him

[ILoveHelloKitty987]

Fail at 4:02

"....But I don't the same"

...don't WHAT the same?

[yeehawm0nster]

This song reminds me of my childhood. I would dress up as godzilla and scare all the asian kids at school. Those great times will never be forgotten...

[Galactic123]

I have 4 girls who want me but I am having a hard time deciding which one to go for. Feel my pain.

[filipinoninja8]

@Galactic123 least girls like you. feel lucky man:)

[ceo]

@filipinoninja8 You sound depressed xD

[marouise12]

What's the song all about?

[rileydd08]

@TexasIsTheReason77 just don't look at porn

[lifeondisplay92]

Reminds me of my childhood:/ I miss being a kid. I'll never forget all the good times I've had with all of my old friends.

[cpatel8806]

@418atdavis

This song reminds me of when I was in college a few years back. My friends and I used to get drunk while bbq-ing and throw water balloons (sometimes fireworks) at people from our 14th story apartment. I'll never forget those good times either....

[stjohn92]

@cpatel8806 This song reminds me of when I was little. Me and my friends used to get drunk and shoot my neighbor's cat with paintball guns. I'll never forget those crazy times...

[xxleandraxx1]

so beautiful <3 makes me wanna cry

[UndeadHollywood239]

i just found out about this band.....cant get it out of my head

[k8fearsnoart]

That's not a riff...

[Hillarie369]

I really didn't think this song was from 1995 :O

[TexasIsTheReason77]

I'm falling for a girl who probably doesn't even see of me as anything, I wish she thought of me the way I think of her

[GrimmjowJaggerjack12]

@TexasIsTheReason77 I know that feel. 

[shedevil3471]

@TexasIsTheReason77

I feel the same way about a guy :( Hope things turn out for you and the girl though. Ive thought about telling the guy how I feel but too scared it will scare him away so I remain quiet and it sucks.

[xpfuzz]

@shedevil3471 you and Texasis should maybe let your feelings be known,,ya never know..Good luck..

[shedevil3471]

@xpfuzz I would tell him but he has already stated that hes not ready or looking for a girlfriend and i dont want to chase him off. Thanks for the well wishes though :)

[Ron38571]

@TexasIsTheReason77 I feel your pain bro.



[44cheeto]

@TexasIsTheReason77 let her know those feelings and sell her on them. if shes the one then what are you waiting on big tex

[NightmareRoute]

@44cheeto yeah man! Tell her texy, she could like you too....

[Fartdemon]

@TexasIsTheReason77 fuck women man

[theoperative85]

[maddiesart10]

@TexasIsTheReason77 im a girl but i feel the same way about a guy in my band class... our time will come. well find out how to survive without them. who knows maybe theres some girl who has the same thoughts about you!

[smurfslover13]

[BobbleWater]

[QPtarheel]

@TexasIsTheReason77 welcome to the friend zone

[Whiteaura1]

@TexasIsTheReason77 I feel you, so much bro, there is a girl that means the world to me, unfortunately she got married to a guy who was not honest with her to who he really was, and now she is stuck with him, and everyday he treats her like crap, So i am patiently waiting for her to finally realize she has enough, and when she needs to fall back, I will catch her in my arms

[5dollarsbuzz]

@TexasIsTheReason77 Sorry brother,I felt same thing one day,and if you do nothing for it,your gonna get nothing for it,Life is hard dude
