Everclear - Wonderful

[happyhoman]

This was the alternative, rage-at-phony-suburbia song of the 1990's. It was a litlle easier to take than the cutting edge Pearl Jam classic "Jeremy". The bright-eyed, blonde-haired Greek dude is a little easier to swallow than Eddie Vetter sinking his eyes into the back of his head while is he screaming the title song. Every Everclear song had a message and was very well written and performed. Nothing like the '90's.

[alibabyinfeb]

In one year, my life changed dramtically. And to this day, i sing this in my car everyday and just think about life before . I love this song.

[nintiwirri]

Myself and my wife are splitting up and we have a 3 year old boy. This song and Father Of Mine are already haunting me and bringing tears to my eyes in anticipation of his future. I will do anything possible to help him to a good and happy life.

[ongo101]

this song takes me back when my dad passed away 10 years ago, everything just went haywire for me, my mom started dating a guy who was a jerk we used to fight all the time and at times i would just sit and cry. *i use to close my eyes and count to ten hoping everything would be how it used to be* and the sad part was that there was no one to tell me that everything would be wonderful someday. I hope no kid goes through what i went through.

[AlltelJohnny12]

grateful as hell Everclear was around when I was growing up. and I made sure I told them the exact same thing when I met them ten years ago

[merianstrasse8a]

i love everclear... greets from europe

[asmodeus88]

i just love this song!

[shizloops2]

haha, is it weird that this song makes me wanna go adopt a black child? thats not a racist thing, i just always thought if i adopted he would be a black boy...

[snowboarder113518]

Its amazing how true this song is, anyone who has been through this really knows what I'm talking about. Excellent song!

[astuckley96]

This song means soooooooooo much!

[jaydensmummmzy]

reminds me of yaquilene

[XBlueWingsX]

This video deserves more views.

I love Everclear <3

[Jubayoo]

is that blond girl from Ned's declassified.

[personofchicago]

he has that " I'm gonna rape you " look

[XwashburnbassplayerX]

Teacher: so why are you all here today?

Student: he lied. The bullets were blanks.

[102shi]

this song helped me get thru some tough times in my life so its a help

[rimokina]

what do you think is worse? the last time you saw your dad was 2 years ago, you barely even know him, or your parents are getting divorced? it bugs me when people ask about my dad, because im like "i havent seen him since god knows when" and their like "oh, im sorry to hear there divorced" then i yell "THEY WERE NEVER MARRIED, I FORGOT WHAT MY DAD LOOKS LIKE, AND ITS NOT SAD BECAUSE I HARDLY EVEN KNOW HIM, and i never met my half brother either"

[ddr126]

divorce is the worse think ive ever been thorugh. she draged me mental barb wire day after day untill the end of the relationship i was nothing but an empty shell full of hate and fear. i agree with this song because my father (who sadly passed away a month ago) said everything will be wonderful again some day and yet it gets worst because of her ever day

[sloth013]

@ddr126 - I've been in a similar situation; your father is right, as hard as it may be right now things WILL get better.

[Dolphinmoon11]

such a happy beat. But such a sad song. I remeber listening to this when i was younger and just thought it was catchy. Now it has alot of meaning to me. I love this song.

[deadsilencer87]

This song makes me feel so sad, yet makes me want to grow up to have kids of my own and tell them stories of the things I have done :')

[dandgaf21]

I heard this song when it first came out..i was 10, my parents were goin through so much shit and this song was like a repeat through my head evryday..my mother is close to passin now, and my father works 65 hours a week drivin 18 wheelers and couldnt be happier to go home to her everynight..Everclear also has a bad ass song called jesus was a democrat..

[bassgod89]

My name is Jack Woodward. I've spent the past few years churning out music as fast as possible. Most cats record an album a year and call it a day. They deliberate on the shit that they're going to do before hand and deface the initial inspiration of the music into obliteration. I try to capture it at the moment of conception. I don't question what I'm being told, I just write it down. Check out my music videos to hear the songs I conceived in this fashion.

[tuckers02]

Some artist just sing songs written for them. Then there are artists like this that sing from the heart. You can definitely tell the difference.

[Sarahrosebello]

I miss the days when my parents were the ones taking care of me, not the other way around.

[celticangel16]

I don't want to hear you say everything will be wonderful someday

[happyhoman]

The Verve, Oasis and these guys were in a different stratosphere even a guy named Sugar Ray was too from 1997 to 2000. A big finish to the 20th century for rock.

[TBSemok]

this song just explains exactly all the things i wanted to say to my parents 10 years ago....

[Bradal4ck]

Wish I could say I was one of the lucky ones like these people up here with all the thumbs up My parents have been happily divorced for 18 years, Guess thats how the world goes all the perfect familys are in the spot light but no one wants to see the truth behind the messed up junk goin on behind dysfunctional familys so go ahead keep giving them thumbs up ;)

[mctofee]

this guy scares the fuck outta me,like i cant even look at him,hes sooo ugly

[MrHahahaonetwothree]

@mctofee what are you twelve? grow the fuck up

[mctofee]

this guy scares the fuck outta me

[titomofo]

all there shit sounds the same

[xOMFGxAxPiratex]

@titomofo might want to invest in a hearing aid

[slash7934]

i love my parents very much and thank God for them

now i want to help my friends

[KooLaidExotika]

I guess i'm just lucky that my parents were never together so i never felt the pain of the split up

[GearsofAssasin]

Man im so grateful for two loving parents...and very very lucky to have them in my life

Awesome videoclip and song......

[KrazyLoveless]

I know divorce is a hard thing to go through, because I had to go through it at age 6. But, as I grew up, I realized that the decision my parents made to split up was a good one. There wasn't much fighting anymore, and my parents were able to remain good friends, instead of staying in an unhappy marriage. Kids will get over it, and it'll only make them stronger. I'd never want my parents to be in a marriage they weren't happy with, so why the hell would I be mad if they didn't stay together?

[gamefan12123]

song takes me to a better time that i miss..altho its not horrible now but it sure as hell isnt great just miss good times didnt have to work to be able to just buy somethin to eat that day to get by didnt give a shit about social stauts and before the world got even more messed up

[1hndman]

me too

[dickish11]

i think it would be wonderful if I could just watch this video without having to watch stupid ads

[farleylives]

Still one of the most gut-wretching videos I've seen. As a counselor, it gets tiring having to put broken kids back together when their parents are splitting up.

[starsapphire21]

@farleylives

If parents would think about the destruction that is does cause kids... instead of themselves and how "unhappy" they are in shitty relationships which THEY PUT THEMSELVES in by not "thinking" in the first place. But now Kids are involved so one or both parents can't "Deal" so they split up and then fight over custody and child support... its pretty damn sad, and if people would actually use thier brains for 5 mins and not becoming entangled or make better descisions these thing

[Mynamesoliehoe]

I'm past the so called breaking point, I just don't care anymore.

[garrettkirchner]

i'd tell u how i feel.. but.. i dont like vulnerability.. thats why i push and push until every one leaves me alone... :'( AND I HATE IT!!!! i sit alone and cry and the only way i can say how i feel is online with totall strangers... ive made all my familly cry.. my mom especially.. and im just SELFISH!!! but i cant stop.. i feel as tho im not even human any more.. just some empty shell of wht was once a fourteen year old.. thats on the edge.. and cant take much more.. please.. help.. i need it.

[celticangel16]

@garrettkirchner You have to open up. To even just one person. It helps, coming from someone who knows. You have to be vulnerable to this one person. You have to tell them everything. If they are a true friend, this could be a gift from God to you. I know my best friend now is and was when I first opened up. Keeping inside makes it worse.

[SilverDragonSpirit]

I found out my father wasn't my father when I was fourteen.. screwed it all up..

[csmall1221]

wonderful huh yea i dream too

[talentwasted]

I think aot of people can relate to this song. infact to a bunch of everclear songs.

but the point is life is what you make it. you have to stand up on your one eventually and make it what you want. not matter how hard you try and shit falls apart and things never seem to go your way. As long as you learn from the mistakes others have made and the ones you have made. will you truely grow as a person. A wise man was not born wise. he became wise through the mistake of others and himself.

[corwininadsm]

helpless youth and selfish parents

[SPEEDARMOR]

This song used to make me feel better when i was young, I hope it makes you feel better to.

[4U2C2NJoy]

It might really help if when you have kids you remember how much parents can make life suck for kids

[Canuckchick52]

This is the story of my life, my parents always fight and I feel like it's my fault and I don't know what to do.

[coolkid101awesome]

this song is the story of my childhood life.

[DriftingFWWA]

The song is 10 years old and it still gives me goosebumps. Reminds me of being an awkward teenager.....I never wanna go back to that, I'm much happier as an awkward adult :)

[downthefaith]

@DriftingFWWA best comment and most true comment ive seen on youtube in a while.

[maryjaneiluv]

@DriftingFWWA high school blows atleast most people mature a bit after high school

[chillepepers123]

is that anthony keidis?

[7dancer10]

finally i found this song! a part of it has been stuck in my head for weeks!

[zezimajr212]

damn this song is meaningful and obviously gives ppl hope and that there has to be a silver lining and all but this guy looks like a total faggot, like wtf is the bleach blond hair and the black eyebrows

[AvatarRoku]

i miss songs like these. the radio played so much diverse music back then.

[RetardedAndRandomTV]

i love how happy everclear's songs are, yet theyre about sadness and trajedy

[itscoolbro2]

This is the song I based my entire childhood off of. Whenever I was sad, this was the song I listened to. This is, in my opinion, the greatest song ever recorded in human history, and the act of recording this song is one of the greatest accomplishments in human history. I know I say that about a lot of songs, but if I had to go to a deserted island in middle of the Pacific Ocean, screw metal, this is the greatest song of all time. Nuff said.

[ArandomName110]

can anyone suggest any bands similar to these guys? thanks :)

[gregodle1]

@ArandomName110 The only ones that come to my mind would be Vertical Horizon, The Fray, and The Goo Goo Dolls. I hope you agree and that I'm right about that.

[vtecinblack]

@ArandomName110

3rd Eye Blind dude. Gotta check em out.

[RedPearlVoice]

I love the fact that I cried listening to this song when I was a little kid, and nine years later, I still cry.

[MusicLoveandTwilight]

i love this song and this band :) this song makes me cry when i hear it, not just because i use to feel this way but because it shows that no matter who you are or where you come from your not alone with your problems (someone always understands how you feel.)

[jessicaJACKASS]

I used to cry to this song when I was 8 years old. My parents split up, and it wasn't the 'norm' for that to happen in my small town, at the catholic school. Kids made fun of me every single day because both of my parents had to work shitty jobs, to buy me "shitty" clothes.

I remembered this song and looked it up a few weeks ago, and had a complete breakdown over how children had made me feel years ago. I guess there were a bunch of other things bothering me too.

But this song, is just great

[SturkMusic]

They get mad at you for thinking highly of yoursef.... Tell em I can't help it that EVERYTHING IS WONDERFUL NOW lol

[cfjermedal]

i guess i was just one of the lucky kids....my parents have been married going on 35yrs

[rhchesher1]

@cfjermedal Well, Goddamn good for you! FUCK OFF ass! What you wanna pat on the fuckin' back?

[cfjermedal]

@rhchesher1 FUCK YEAH I want a pat on the back! Im proud to come from a loving family. So go fuck your self.

[JakeDubz262]

@cfjermedal dk when mine got married- but just bc ur not from a "broken home" doesn't mean that you won't get treated like shit because of favoritism to another sibling

[fandebottinelli10]

@BMWg84 im pretty sure that is not ur number haha..who would just give their number out on youtube

[unforgiven1120]

To all of those how are form broken homes and are still alive and well to tell about it I congratulate you god knows that is was not easy. But with that I ask to lend a helping had to those kids how fell like they are lost and are desperate for a way out. God only knows what would have happen to me if I did not have my aunt and uncle to take me under there wings and helped me thru all of the BS.

Gracias tia Nely y tio Gorge

[Superflykid2008]

being an adult sucks...everything used to be wonderful....

[PJsMeName]

@Superflykid2008 Tell me about it, I miss my child life. Now we have work and things to pay for. Oh well that's life right?

[McLaranium]

@Superflykid2008 HOPE YOU NEVER BE AN ADULT- hahaha poor world of humans.

[cassandrahb]

Everclear FOR LIFEEEEE

[GretelCatsMom]

I still sob and I am grown! 

[Ligabueno]

I hope Adam Yauch its totally recovered . God bless you

[MrDrainBramaged]

god i remember when this song came out..I was freakin 10 years old..hahaha

[SkorpyoTFC]

To skip to song beginning: 0:13

[gloobadafet]

gay



[emomacncheese]

@gloobadafet Fuck you dude, some of us find truth in this music,  it shows us we are not alone in our thoughts and lives. So fuck off and take this ignorant comment with you.

[kenzadelphia]

I was 5 when the folks split and 7 when Mom's new man and his kids moved in to MY house. It was definitely not "wonderful" it was crap, for all of us, and this song really hit a chord with me even though I was well out of there by the time it came out. Somehow all of us got past it and as adults are a family of sorts now (minus one evil and ridiculous step sister) but this song really gets at what it's like to be a little kid and have your entire life upended.

[d3pr4v4t0r]

jajajaja noooooooooooooooooooooootttttt­!!!!!!

[ParceQueOnAime]

amazing song.. its sad that so manny people can relate to it though.. :/

[NinjaFruitWarsx2]

I used to Live in a House with an Abusive Step dad, I Listen to this song and Cry, Its Hard when you Sit next to Your Mom that you Look up too and See her Crying, Its Hard seeing them Being Beat, Its Hard almost having to call the cops on your step dad when your Ten, Its Hard to Live the Live you Have sometimes, I love this song, And I Cant help But cry right now :)

[00nyx00]

to anybody who hears this song and really understands what it's talkin about, I'm sorry, but maybe it will get you through the shit you're in...

[Orochimarusbitch]

Everclear is amazing. This song got me through a lot of things. I still feel like this a lot. Thank you, Everclear.

[FICKm3inLEBEN]

this song totally makes me cry now, I never listened to the words before. :'|

[montero3180]

This song is so great. I came from a great home with two loving parents, but I love this song it makes me feel good.

To all those childern out there that wish they could just get away and go to a far away place, hang in there. I am 30 years old now, so I grew up during the 90's and believe me the 80's & 90's where the same as now. The only person that can make things better for yourself if "YOU". As long as you stay in school and do good thing.....then good things will come!!! Believe me!!

[etenightstar]

@montero3180

I grew up then too and the 80's and 90's were nothing like now.Not saying they were better or worse but the same they were not.

[chaoticinterlude]

This song makes me remember so many things. I love the 90's.

[halopro1225]

i lived in the late 90s and i dont remember much of it but it kicked ass there were less fuckers taking and raping kids it was easy to live but now life is just filled with ass holes and emos who cry about nothing yes there were emos in the 90s but less of them i liked the 90s then the 2000s

[nidhogge]

@halopro1225

Moreso goths than emos in the 90s, and goths were generally tough mofos.

[MasterX117]

Fuckin great song, i listened to this song back like 9 years ago holy shit memories!!! :)

[lovegooforever]

awesome song!!!!!

[RenownedRyan]

This song embodies my childhood.

[rameswinks]

90's and early 2000's were indeed the best time of music.

[rameswinks]

Indeed the 90's were the best for music.

[TheReno117]

for this song....... i think they should look a little more emotional when they sing the corus.... Not all happy and shit..

[littlemisDana]

@TheReno117 well, I guess their lives are wonderful. so why not smile?

[LeroyJenkins4]

@TheReno117 the song is for ppl who went through this and those ppl wuld rather not have a sad song to go along with the already sad life. u need something to pick u up

[TheReno117]

@LeroyJenkins4 true enough.

[TowelBowels]

This song is awesome, lyrics relate to my life. But the video? lol it kinda ruined the whole song for me.

[mzbalzi]

my kidz story... do sad...

[Sarahrosebello]

This is my life.

My parents always fight because of me. I hate home life.

I finally talked to someone yesterday. I was near my breaking point, so I told a teacher everything. I even showed her my cuts. I felt a lot better. She said she wished she could just take me home.

And then I had to go home. Back to my life. At least I can go back to school tomorrow.

[silversteinAG]

@Sarahrosebello You're full of it... A teacher that says something like that would follow through and do something! Why would you fabricate a story!?

[Sarahrosebello]

@silversteinAG

I don't know why you feel the need to believe I'm making it up...

It's entirely true.

What could she do about it? All she can do is listen and provide me support. She can't exactly kidnap me.

[cheesedog68]

@silversteinAG Why would you call someone out on something like that? Why can't she be telling the truth? Quit being a dick.

[montero3180]

@Sarahrosebello hang in there kid the world needs young strong people like you. You can do and be anything you want in life.

[twilightfox014]

@Sarahrosebello That is exactly how I felt but when I hit my breaking point I just stopped feeling and caring.

[TheMenime1979]

@Sarahrosebello Posted 3 weeks ago....I wonder if everything is "wonderful" now?...

[Sarahrosebello]

@TheMenime1979

Ha ha nope.

If you really wanna know

I've developed an eating disorder, I hate my life, and my brother calls me "fat bitch".

Oh and my parents are still fighting.

[TheMenime1979]

@Sarahrosebello Sorry to hear that. And I am sorry that some jackass decided to call you out like that. But honestly, that's why I posted what I did. Please know that your teacher DID have to report that to the state. Good luck....

[Sarahrosebello]

@TheMenime1979

Uh... no.

My teacher DIDN'T have to report my self-injury to the state. If my parents were abusing me she would however.

[DamianBahr]

@Sarahrosebello Hey i dont know you, but please dont do anything you will regret, there is always someone there for you.

[Sarahrosebello]

@DamianBahr

I'm planning on sticking around for a long time, I promise.

I just have to live with this shit for another year and 10 months, and then I move out and go to college :D

[Zephyrgirl89]

@Sarahrosebello I know exactly how you feel. I'm sorry you've had to go through it too...

[balticseaamber]

@Sarahrosebello

Hang in there. :)

[scabbybuttcrack]

@Sarahrosebello hang in there, sweetie. It does get better. BUT, you have to make it happen. It's all about you. Be strong.

[007hulse]

@Sarahrosebello its ok just hang in there there will always be tomorrow

[vanuatu1965]

@Sarahrosebello it was mine to and i put my kids throigh the same im a 45 year old idiot

[Canuckchick52]

@Sarahrosebello I know how you feel, my parents constantly fight and abuse me, but I'm afraid to tell anyone.

[Sarahrosebello]

@Canuckchick52

PLEASE tell somebody?

I promise eventually it WILL get better.

[dbotelho100]

@Canuckchick52 And you should be afraid becuse if you tell someone your getting sent to an orphange. Is that what you want?

[Canuckchick52]

@dbotelho100 That's exactly why I don't tell. It's also what my parents tell me so I'll keep my mouth shut.

[dbotelho100]

@Sarahrosebello Ohhhh I cut myself!! You suck Sarah it's your fault your parents are always fighting. Life was so much better before you came!

[Sarahrosebello]

@dbotelho100

Yeah, pretty much :\

[SanitysEpilogue]

@dbotelho100 youre a dillhole and need to stop messing with people who are being open. youre parents dont love you and youre trying to lash out at people cause youre dick is too small

[ORIGINALPRANK]

HEY THATS MISSY FROM NED'S SURVIVAL HIGHSCHOOL GUIDE xD

[Mir6922]

Fabulous job job for the first video....

keep it up mang !

[AlternativeTeddyBear]

Whos the little girl? She looks like Misty from Neds Declassified. Which Everclear guest starred on once. Just an observation

[iLuvPizza95]

@AlternativeTeddyBear Yes, she is Carlie Casey, who plays missy.

[NakedCreep]

This is one of those "haha... true" song. But I don't like it :(

I'm sorry that I'm a hater.

[Sarahrosebello]

This song still makes me cry.

[dhenruch0522]

THIS IS THE REAL MUSIC!!!!!! <3

[andonjuin]

dear 90's......i miss you

[wheels85]

@andonjuin Hopefully they'll come back just like the 80s did.

[syauqiachmad]

... i wish i could count to ten,

make everything be wonderfull again

...

:) :)

[twotimetes]

love this song ...

[eatonio]

2055 people wish they still lived in the 90's, those years rocked!

[sexymunkee]

I used to just... sob to this when i was nine and found it on my NOW! 5 album. Living with abuse and neglectful, fighting parents is hard, especially for a young child.. There's absolutely nothing you can do but close yourself in, and dream of something better;dream if something less painful. This song embodies so many emotions that's it's ridiculous.

There's nothing more painful than watching the person you've loved and looked up to your whole life, crying and saying, "It'll be okay baby".

[TheImSuperBoredShow]

@sexymunkee

It takes a lot to make me cry but this almost did it. Very true.

[james4562000]

@sexymunkee Im sorry to hear that, i know kind of how you feel.

[UND3RDOGhimself]

@sexymunkee exactly what i was thinking, down to the last word, i literally found it on NOW! 5 hahaha, great song.. just dont make em like this anymore

[TheStang2003]

Yes this is a great song quit hating all you fucks!

[SSKBBY]

I miss the 90's more then anything, Life WAS wonderful, simple and easy.

[Spaz2141]

wonderful song,wonderful.....just shut up and listen

[midwestgimp76]

My parents separated my freshman year of high school, in the early '90's, and the first time I heard this song, it brought back all the feelings that I had during that time of my life. I swore that I would do my damnedest to make sure my kids never experienced that pain. 

[spanglash122]

@midwestgimp76 I just had the same exact experience. It was like a weird deluge of emotions. Gosh I hope I never put my kids through something like that.

[Thungon217]

What's with the beginning???

[tomei76]

Wonderful song.

[bballmusicgirl33]

My whole family listened to this band when I was like in first grade. I love them and this song is the best. I'm only 16, but I still love this band and when I mention them to my friends they have no idea what I'm talking about.

[skatecam1248]

is that lil girl a famous actress now, cus she looks REALLY familiar

[217CHASE217]

Music that you can relate to you ten, twenty years later, is timeless.

[iMtHeWiFeY90]

good song

watched the vid on mtv a looong while back

havent heard it in a while .. still nice :)

[blueismyfavorite]

This song helped me through so much when I was young.. And still does.
