I'm an 80s hard rock fan, and even though Darius doesn't sing that genre of music, I know a good voice when I hear it. ... And man he has one! I heard him sing the National Anthem once, and it gave me goose pimples. If there's a person with a better voice, I don't know who it is.
this song is amazing, the feelings, the pain and the happiness really bring it out of me and i hope everyone who this song touches. darius/ the blowfish, are amazing and their songs just know how to move you
confession time...1st time i heard him on the radio never knew he was black..i tot some white cowboy with a fantastic voice....Darius you are a legend now...been listening to you since 1995..HOOTIE!
Ever notice that REAL singers sound the same if not better live than on the radio or CD vs. the new garbage on the radio today that people call "music?"
So many years later and I still adore this song and this version is fabulous...you can even understand Darius :). Love his new stuff too. Great voice & talent.
@kmcd8 thats the risk you take when you give someone your heart. If you're lucky, you get someone who will be there through the tears and the smiles. here's to you meeting that person. (hint:i did, and i met her online, and i couldnt be happier...even through all the tough times..there's no one id rather have in my corner...we just celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary :)..so there is hope
ok people go to time 2 30 in this video the blonde girl while being so hot and have everyhting a guy could want. look at her eyes i think she was the ex he is talking about in the song lol
No I'm not his ex! I was an extremely sleep-deprived nursing school student at the time. My friend made me go with her that night, and they split us up and made me sit in the front for some reason! But no, not his ex.
saw him in virginia beach a few weeks back he puts on 1 heluva show ,you cant beat his music, pure emotion. everything ive ever heard from him stirs my heart& soul thank you for posting this .
I grew up in the 90s. I remember hearing this song on the radio when i was a little boy. Hootie and the Blowfish was my favourite band back then. Hearing this song again just takes me back to some great times..... When I hear his music on the radio today, I helps keep those good times rolling onwards. keep it up DR!
just beautiful...in sickness and in health...to love and cherish til death do us part. People aren't perfect...unconditional love is what it is all about....singing eases the pain
One of my absolute all time favorite songs!!! What a bad ass version of it. You go Darius!! God Bless you and thank you for sharing your talent with us all for so many years.
I met him in 95 before my brother was going to the Citadel he was a very nice person easy to get along with, I will never forget what he told my brother before he went to the Citadel! He is a good man!!
He's so underrated as a vocalist, he is up there with the likes of Chris Cornell. He can sing pretty much whatever he wants, any genre, his range is amazing.
@mattkelly198820071 darius has said (in his DVD that came out with Charleston, SC 1966) that he brought country songs he wrote to the band but they never wanted to give it a country sound so now that he has this going for him he has given the songs he wrote for a country sound what he wanted!
simplified.... it's about being in love with a drunk. And knowing you need to leave because it will never change and you just can't change some people.
@546kekek the actual meaning of this song (this coming from an interview) is pretty much the same, but with the genders reversed. He was the drunk, while his suffering girlfriend was trying to hold things together. Pretty interesting interview if you ever get a chance to check it out.
@presbarkeep u.s navy 3 deployments 3 years in the shit what the fuck would you know about it and fail is such as shitty term your saying it because you heard someone else say it your a loser othreeeleven knows what im talking about we served and shits like you make me ashamed
@coldbedsheets my guess is that it's just imagery - he's beginning to paint the picture in the listener's mind. He's a great wordsmith - i just love him.
presbarkeep....Darius has been singing that line bout case of bud and bottle of jim bean for years.. I'd say at least 4-5 years ago, he started using that line in "live" versions with Hootie & the Blowfish. Before you rip on the guy, get your facts straight!
a case of bud and a bottle of jim beam.... holy shit this guy is hardcore. no chaser no mixer.... damn lol! ....trying too hard to appeal to rednecks..... fail.
@presbarkeep he's makin a hell of alot more money than you "GETTIN er DONE"..people go through pain and write real songs thats what its about..gettin off the bottle is the true hardcore & I know.. 7 years Grunt Marine infantry, 3 deployments, and long nites with Jack almost cost me my family..have some respect man
Just an amazing song Wow
