  • Damn good live performance!! Not many groups can perform this kind of melody and hold it this tight LIVE!!

  • @braintrustee yeah !!when I first heard this my reaction was fuck!!the Stones have finally written their first classic since the mid seventies ,,then hear its by a band I've never heard of,,,,one of the classics of the 90's just so positive and uplifting the harmonies and chord structures are just brilliant.

  • He's the bastard child of Mick Jagger and Bono.

  • At 2:08 the music disappears... Did he happen to say the "F" word? ;-)

  • Yeah...great...on Leno, of course. One of my favorites in my 40 years of listening...

  • I like how he just gets off stage after Jay Leno shakes his hand. Haha. "Fuck you fake ass,"

  • @Rattattattatt Leno sucks: Leterman is 1,000x's better  even Craig Killbourne stoned and drunk out of his mind could outdo Leno. Andy Richter can outdo Leno. In fact , I could outdo LENO.......

  • YES, LIVE FOREVER !!!

  • very powerful

  • This an anthem for a generation, the way Tears For Fears "Rule the World' was in the eighties, Earth, Wind and Fire's 'That's the Way of the World' was in the seventies, Any of the Beatles' and Motown songs were in the 60's. This is an excellent song.

  • @stretchcity fuck yeah!

  • Think he's producing now, taps right into the soul it's a spiritual thing - timeless masterpiece.

  • This song is brilliant and haunts me still. Great live band. What every happened to them?

  • @bobsacco The band broke during 1999s because Gregg Alexander got tired of exhaustive touring schedules and constant media attention stuff D:

  • Where did this dude go? Realy like `m!

  • my Day 01 song

  • just the most awesome song, stick this on and it neva fails 2 lift my mood :), impossible 2 feel down whilst listenin

  • Wow, his voice is spot on. This is the song I put on when I'm feeling chilled out :)

  • It's impossible not to feel positive while listening this song...

  • get aloud of you mwah xx

  • Fking rocked IT!!!!!

  • What effect is that in the beginning of the song?

  • fantastic!.. still gives me a buzz

  • This really is one of my favorite songs ever...the Lyrics are fantastic...such a great message!

  • They were such a unique band.

  • I love this band but whats up with the hat ?

    Shy ?

  • Best fucking hat ever made.

  • brandon you watch this a lot...

  • This is what is on in Egypt, libiya, all over. we need and deserve peace and equal rights for all humanity.. We all must have freedom. now.. The VEIL is lifted. equal rights for all humanity. I love .

  • ah, at a time when singers actually sounded like the CD live.

  • Even though I'm afican-American this is a hot song, you have to listen to the lyrics, the music, it's all together, I really like this song!!!!

  • THIS IS MY HAPPY DRUG.

  • This always gets me back to thinking of the positives in life. Thanks.

  • ohhhh, aunq los escuche en vivo sigo creyendo q son muy buenos, apesar de q no canta como me lo esperaba realmente, pero igual me siguen gustando muchooooooooooo!! desde el pais de los terremotos , chileeeeeeeeee , fabita con amor

  • ohhhh, aunq los escuche en vivo sigo creyendo q son muy buenos, apesar de q no canta como me lo esperaba realmente, pero igual me siguen gustando muchooooooooooo!!

  • I freaking love this song. Man this brings back memories!

  • watta bass there

  • Maybe You've Been Brainwashed all these years on is still one of the best albums I have ever heard. The fact it was The New Radicals only album only makes it that little bit more special. The man was (and still is) a song-writing genius. One day.... Perhaps one day we might get another???!! Please?

  • @pedgrift4  figures crossed

  • TO BAD THAT ALL GOOD THING MUST COME TO AN END.. BUT MAYBE...JUST MAYBE..THIS SONG LIVE FOR EVER....

  • @NOWAYOUT688 i like the way u think LOL

  • @NOWAYOUT688 this song will live forever

  • They were radical and wish they never stopped playing!!!! totally love em could listen to them forever this is one of my favorite cd's

  • I love that weird but cool sound that plays at 0:03-0:04

  • the drummer is having a blast xD

  • 9 people are going to get caped

  • @NOWAYOUT688 You're going to put capes on them?

  • ti... my niece, Madeline, cabella dedo del pies - (star wink) has a big crush, on "our LEAD" (take two) singer. You're tops! odadadad pops, on teen popcicles. Love Yahhh, enough sun.

  • the other live version of this song has nearly exactly the same amount of views - 152,943 - weird.

  • Anyone know why Danielle Brisbois (I think that's her name) is not in thi s performance? She played keyboard & sang backup.

  • @HonRevPTB she had her own record deal, and her label didn't want her to be "back up" to someone else. She was performing off camera, so you can her her

  • So strange that a band with this much quality simply didn't sticked to it.

  • I remember well when this song came out ... and how I loved it, especially for the part of the lyrics : 'If you feel your dream is dying, hold tight, you've got the music in you' .. and 'Don't give up, you've got a reason to live' ...

    It really lifted me up each time I heard the song on the radio ... particularly because it had a personal meaning to me ...

  • This is a lovely song but never liked the end bit. they kind of over did it and ;pushing the microphone??? Gross!!

  • @malfirst Gross?!? Really!? Stop it now! That's one of the best parts of the song!!!

  • is it just me or do people actually sing well live 10 or so years ago compared to now?

  • THis was obviously really early on after their success. Because Gregg is still enjoying this performance.

  • You are happy 'cause your country loves the art!

  • Amazing song from my childhood. Makes me think of my cousins.. and their band has just been signed to a label... this song fits so well I think :) I hope me and my brother make it some day, thanks for the upload!

  • What happened to music like this? This is such bull. I only listen to satellite radio 80's and 90's

  • very good song

    I love it :)

  • early Tea Party members! lol

  • Este video es buenisamo...!

  • one of my most most favorites :-)

  • what ever happened to that guy

  • @mexicanchunti13 jay leno? he's still sucking dick after 10pm.

  • @mexicanchunti13 He got sick of always playing and talking about the same song and hated touring and being on the road all the time. So he packed it in and went back to producing.

    You can read more about Gregg Alexander on Wikipedia.

  • good"""

  • I too wish they put out more than one album. From what I understand their songwriter, front man and producer Gregg Alexander was more interested in those things than being in a band like the New radicals.

    For those that like his songwriting, here are some of the other songs he wrote that have a similar sound:

    Lovin' Each Day by Ronan Keating

    Life is a Roller Coaster by Ronan Keating

    Game of Love by Michelle Branch and Santana

    Wikipedia has a full list of the songs he has written.

  • outstanding! this band should have stayed together.

  • wow, he is so tall he can hardly dance

  • Awesome Live Performance (:

  • a decada de 90,foi uma decada de bandas maravilhosas como essa por exemplo!!!

  • Para terminar bem a sexta

  • i would just like to know what happened to them, did they officially disband?

  • @jojog5314 They did, Gregg didn't liked how the touring life was like.

  • great song, obviously Todd Rundgren influenced, comment from yellowman biggest since smells like teen spirit, please Nirvana completely changed the course of music for awhile, hair metal to grunge they were a little more than a one hit wonder

  • Mamma mia che performance!...da svenimento....grandi!!!!!

  • this sounds like an 80s song!!! hit!!!

  • Comment removed

  • wow, gregg just leaves the stage after the performance...

  • 90's - simplicity

    00's - HELL!

  • These guys rock, too bad I only found them a decade too late!!!

  • Wow lol, he just made a tit of himself

  • he sounds fantastic live! he's awesome singer.

  • every night i POP a mercedes-benz

  • 'We're flat broke but we do it in style'........like

  • Classic song!

  • Wow Gregg's voices are so awesome!!! 

  • Ta me' in gra lie an amhrain seo ta' se' go hiontach!

  • better than hall and oates any day!!!

  • i need a hat like that

  • love this song

  • Good songs never die!!!!

  • Damn he sounds great live! So old school. Oh the nostalgia...

  • damn! that sounds exactly like the recording! Gregg Alexander is tall too. I never knew that..

  • This is my "happy song"...

  • @JeanMarie218

    Yeah mine too!

  • @JeanMarie218

    I agree, it's my happy song too.

  • The guys and the band are geniouses...What i cant understand is ......Why the hell do they write songs for a half arsed Irish boyband like boyzone and ronan pugelator keating

  • @furighoni really.

  • I'm 53 and I think this song still brings hope in everything, everyday.

  • Brilliant. I even like this Live performance better than the song from the album. That's what great musicians are!

  • ARE THEY STILL PLAYING?

  • @SlyTheBlindGuy no not for a long time.

  • might be the best song ever...so upbeat...so 90s...perfect!

  • Only in the 1990s could you get such awesome musical performances on network television!

  • they've disbanded now havent they? the best song ever.

  • his voice gives me the shivers!!! why does he never show hes pretty face in public???

  • @Kiathira He said it was because he was bored and tired of the touring and performance everywhere.

  • The video quality is average, BUT, the sound quality is very good for a live video on YouTube. Well done! I like this song.

  • Hey Gregg - give it to me now!!

  • I love his teeth for some reason XD they have two of the most amazing songs ever!! : "Someday we'll know" and this one!

  • the BEST song eva ...xoxo ty ;)

  • I agree with ellemint, the whole album was quality. Come back Gregg do the festivals in the UK.

  • The whole album is incredible...if only Gregg Alexander was still performing!

  • ---can't die!!!

  • Some of the best chord changes I've ever heard in a pop tune no doubt. New Radicals were excellent and that goes beyond this awesome tune. Their whole album is stellar. And they could've been the next saving grace for rock/pop but they make for a hell of a lost treasure anyway. Not every great act has to become the Beatles or something. Some are allowed to be brief or go down below the radar.

  • @journeythruthepast Well said!

  • @journeythruthepast

    i disagree, only great acts stay around. but this song is amazing

  • This bands popularity was one song....this one....but it's the truth in what they're singing about that gives them their validity. This song is great because it is genuine. I love it!

  • Fooooolllsss. You're going to blow it.

    So true man, so true.

  • Thank you New Radicals

    from chicago

  • Lead singer reminds me the hell of Billy Corgan.

  • Best group ever!!!!

    They need to come back!!!

  • this song really inspired me only if gregg actually based his life after it instead of giving up.

  • so why did he censor key parts of the song?still amazing tune and performance tho

  • love the way he treated leno like the douche he is

  • I love this guy.

  • this song makes your day

  • brilliant performance!

    if only we had music more like this today

  • great live performance! And great song!!!

  • or he coulda been hiding his eyes for some other reason hahaha
