[firretrrucck980]

AHH I LIVE THERE! and i saw that show. it was amazingg.

[highpriestrsw2]

I used to live in Canton. Obviously things have changed in 10 years. I'd have expected this to take place on campus. ACE used to put on cool concerts. I saw BNL and the Lemonheads @ the arena when I was a freshman.

he wrote this song in a Meijers parking lot 5 miles from my house.. true story

[apguitarguy401]

vocals are off from video...

[Jenspiffer]

Yeah I know, and have no idea why... it's like that on some of my videos but not all, even though all were shot with the same camera and the same computer was used to upload them. If it gets too bothersome, just close your eyes - the awesomeness of his voice will create the images for ya. :)

[apguitarguy401]

it might be youtube, and ya hes a really good singer.

[daveatx]

One of the greatest songs of the 90's. Perfect song to remind you of the girlfriend who screwed you over.

[ineedsleepingpills]

umm.. do you even know what its about? lol

[daveatx]

yes - vander ark wrote it about a girl who fell in love with him and a subsequent abortion. the suicide part of the song was poetic license. the title means that vander ark thought at the time that we're all freshman at some point in our lives.

[ineedsleepingpills]

Actually, he was watching the movie "The Freshman"

[daveatx]

that was only part of it.

[ch320033]

yeah. your face ineedsleepingpills

[natejordan5]

hes such an amazing singer! so natural!

i looove this song.

[davidtusa]

such a classic song sung by a very talented artist!!

[Turtoto]

My dad loved this song and I was like 7 when it came out (I dont know when it came out but if it was in 1997, then I was 7) and he had me listen to it and I loved it because he loved it.

Now I genuinely appreciate it and understand it (as well as I can). It's still my favorite song to this day.

[wickerman2kl]

That's really cool. I was in junior high school when this song came out, so it's cool to see younger generations getting into stuff from back then. Sometimes I start to feel kind of old, with all these kids who don't know anything about the music from the 90's, which still seems like just yesterday to me.

[wengwangishness]

great song, great band!^_^ no doubt about that.

it's juz that.. it's weird watching him in this vid; he looks like sum invisible ventriloquist's puppet - all late and out`ta-sync.XP

[Jenspiffer]

Yeah, sorry about that! I have no idea why when I uploaded it to youtube, the timing was off. It certainly wasn't like that in person (no lip-syncing, I promise!), and it's totally fine on the video file on my comp... I thought about trying to re-upload it, but I already had a ton of comments and favored selections on this copy. Some of my more recent BVA videos have correct timing if you wanna check those out!

[ImHyper11]

i love this song and the funny hing is i started like really listening to this song this yr and i'm a freshman and this girl in my grade (i didn't know her personally) just died in a car crash and they played this at her funeral

[atram696]

ahhh...a ja listy od trasha czytalam...heh...ale fajnie bylo!

[dougninja]

Song still gives me chills 10 years later.

[aggiegeo03]

[3breana3]
