Great performance, great song, great singer, but i think we're lucky if we reach 100 years. hey guys.. Im pretty sure ill see this guy after 100 years.. well, you know where.. xD.. after atleast 120 years im pretty sure all of us is gone.. but, will still be listening live to this guy in ....you know where.. =))))))
I listen to metallica and megadeth and a lot of other metal bands and i like them quite a lot. But tbh music like this and J.O's music in particular and THIS song most of all i love. It sounds so different but it is amazing.. This is my favorite song in all of existence.... i remember I heard it on the radio once while i was in a taxi and it just struck a chord.... It really makes you think how short life is and we have to make the most of it.... Beautiful in one word....
a fantastically deep song filled with meaning... treasure your life. John, thank you for reminding me about how life just goes by fast, and you need to treasure it to get the most out of it. you are certainly a genius
love this song, live, album version and whatever other version he decides to do some songs are just wow and this is one of them, same goes for the artist
Everyone, according to what I see on the comments, and also from a few people I know, really likes this song a lot. I've never understood why. LOL It is a cool song, I agree. It just has an appeal or "power" if you will, apparently. For whatever reason....
As a musician, I've rated some of the best songs that have ever been written and will ever be written. This song, in my opinion IS one of the top three BEST songs ever written - and it will never be knocked off that list. John O. had a huge huge flash of genius when he wrote and performed this song. As a piano player - all I can do is thank John for this, what I consider a major major master piece, thank you for this most excellent of songs ever.
what the fuck is wrong with people who say it doesn't sound like the fuckin CD. Get a clue. It's a live recording, what do you expect? Ignorant dopes. I think he sounds great live. Id rather listen to an artist live, because it's more natural and not perfect or feigned.

John Ondrasik is more than a singer/songwriter. He is a philosopher with a gift for music.
