Holy smokes. God really is at work in this song. This is so so true. Nothing that we do compares to His wonderful love. We can gain the whole world, be as smart as possible, have all the riches ever to be wished upon, and it would be all for nothing without the Lord God in our life!
Actually this is pretty much a blues song, and well known fact: The blues come from the devil. Also, 4 talented, hard working musicians. Instead of giving God credit for this wonderful music, why not pay your respects for the people who were actually responsible for giving us a chance to listen to this amazing song: Gary, Nuno, and the others?
@SirKickz Really? You just had to respond to a comment I made about God 6 months ago on this page, and it's on page 4. It just eats you up so much that this song is about God and His amazing works that you have the nerve to take the time to attack me on Youtube. Some people...........
What eats me up isn't that this song is about God. What eats me up is when people say "this is God's work," or "God gave these men a wonderful gift." When you say that, you are disrespecting all the grueling hours of practice and rehearsal that these guys put into their art. Their talent isn't a gift that they received. It's something they earned through a lot of hard work. All I'm saying is give credit where credit is due, and the credit goes to Extreme. Not God.
@Ddraig64 And yet your heart would remain empty, and the girl would eventually be lost to you, or you to her. And then what have you gained but nothing?
geez...this sort of takes me back .......I forgot how good this song was .....regardless of whether its about a girl or it has a religious inspiration....
@hj1138 LOL!!! Are you serious?? There are no women singing on this song! That is a combination of bassist, Pat Badger, and Nuno Bettencourt's backing vocals! Trust me, I know, I've been a die hard fan of this band for over 20 years!!! The voice you hear is most likely that of Pat Badger, he sings in a very high register, and HIS voice is amazing!!!
@24luva I thought I was the only one who thought Matchbox 20 ripped off this song on their song "3AM", I've totally forgotten all about that until now!
@xxXWickEdThaTwayXxx Lol!!! I'm sorry you despise me. But don't you wanna get to know me first? Or is there anything I can do so you will forgive me??
My mom gave me the cd that had this song on it when she got tired of it. Played it three times in a row when I was unpacking my first day away at college.
@tabwyo a very good guitarist but not the best, jimi hendrix and john frusciante really have some nice songs, but when it comes to the acoustic songs, of course he is the GREATEST!
Believe it or not, when I was younger, I heard them interviewed on the radio. They said this song was not inspired by a girl. It was inspired by a story in the bible and is basically from a King to God...Surprised me!
I can believe that. It just seems like the words to the song expresses a void that they know only God can fill. I like this song. I hear it at work. It's been on my mind. I really am drawn by the chorus.
@00DLR00 To me it seems more likely that it refers to King Solomon, David's son, hence the references to "ambitions" and "priorities" occupying him, yet he still lacks inner peace. He realizes that only YOU (God) can fill the hole in his heart. Very similar sentiment to Ecclesiastes chapter 2:1-11 and 12:13
Damn it, I always loved this song! Always loved that clean sound of acoustic guitar playing. Even though its probably was enhanced with digital in-studio synthetic effects, it is musicianship that can not be faked.
the fact that its a 12 string makes it even better :-), it gives it that ring that may make it sound digitally altered.. but i dont think it is! i just got my first 12 string for christmas and they are amazzinggg
This band stood out. They were more musically talented than the average hair band. More than words will be their one hit among the masses but this one is my most memorable by far.
Just saw them live in NJ this past August, different drummer though. Still a great live band!! Brought my 2 college age sons with me and they loved the show too, especially getting to see Nuno play live!!
its true go watch some pictures...check my myspace and if u want i ca ngive u link of some guy who haves myspaces dedicated too long hair mans :) and u will see some awesome hairs
I remember WAAF talking about this video shoot 30 minutes before it happened. They where looking for extra's for the street scenes. Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it...
