My description is very similar, but it's late afternoon in early December, before the Midwest snow falls, and your dad is driving down the expressway, as he smoothly maneuvers around a white box truck in the center lane with a rear door that has a crooked handle and some of the paint flaking off, revealing the primed metal below. The extreme angle that the sun passes through this time of year casts a very orange sepia tone on everything, from the white box truck, to the interstate, to the tall tan concrete walls lining both sides of it, and even to the bare tree branches poking up over the top of the walls.

From cruises down the shore with friends to love and heartache of the "summer love". With all teh BS in this world going on right now, I'd easily go back to that simpler song.

I was really depressed when this song came out. I was listening to this song when I tried to end it all, because of a breakup with someone that I really loved. This song resonated with me at the time. I and a friend would visit and listen to this song over, and over, and over. He was having some very personal problems, his wife left him and he was listening to this song, he had it on repeat and he did end it all. The song was playing when they found him, and I often wondered if this song resonated with him more than it did with me. I hoped that it would have worked for me, but thank GOD it didn't. I am a Christian now and I believe that I will meet GOD when it is my appointed time. Thank you for this beautiful song after all these years.

My mother used to pick me up from daycare and this was always on the radio. As I grew older it faded from memory. As I got older I joined the Navy, never really got to see my mother a lot. She came to visit me in San Diego and she was driving and all of the sudden all the memories from being a child hit me. It was weird being 21 feeling like a 3 year old again.

One of the most memorable contributions of alt-rock to mid-90s pop. Beautifully written lyric with an innocence and openness fueled by the anger behind phrases like "am I very far, now?" followed by a snarling guitar. The idea of God as female was still relatively new in the pop mentality, and this lyric served to stretch the spiritual horizons of an entire generation. It was one of the anthems of the summer of 96.

I can still remember the sweet scent in the air of the long grass in Louisiana, my wife and I holding hands as we drove across our, then, home. That beautiful Summer day in '96 as the sun floats low in the sky and caressed us warmly when it slowly began to set. I looked at my beloved, relaxed in our little, red chariot and her angelic smile worked the magic that it always does and turned me, a hard man, into soft butter. This was the song that played for us and, for just a little while, we enjoyed our own small piece of perfection along a smooth country road as God sang for two of his children. :)

I would disagree. The 90's music did have heart, mind & feeling but that continued into the early 2000's. It's the early 2000's that was the last decade to have great music with with heart, mind, soul & feeling. REMEMBER many of the 90s groups continued making great music in the early 2000's.

@@mikey_suzefour the grounge rock made a comeback in the early 90's. The grunge rock then turned heavier like god smack , shinedown. That scene is still strong in 2019. This band isnt that far off from that sound. I doubt the 80"s and up to 1992 eara will ever be the same. The 80's were fun music. From beginning to end. That was a long decade of fun. These bands saliva included seem to be more into the message not only in the titles. Almost goth grunge like.

I had a very abusive father. I was born in 90 and went to elementary school in Arizona and that was before the abuse got REALLY bad. He used to put a ziplock bag of cereal together so I could eat it while he takes me to school. And we’d listen to the radio. Songs like this hold those good memories of us in my head. As much as I don’t like my dad, I like those memories. I wish I could reach out to these guys and tell them. The impact they have is incredible. I get choked up because I’m so grateful to have that moment.

This is the kind of calming song your dad played in the car at medium-low volume while driving the family home on the highway late at night, front windows rolled down with a cool breeze coming in, you and your siblings asleep in the back.
That is a fantastic image! ✯ Thank you for listening :) 🙏🎵
My description is very similar, but it's late afternoon in early December, before the Midwest snow falls, and your dad is driving down the expressway, as he smoothly maneuvers around a white box truck in the center lane with a rear door that has a crooked handle and some of the paint flaking off, revealing the primed metal below. The extreme angle that the sun passes through this time of year casts a very orange sepia tone on everything, from the white box truck, to the interstate, to the tall tan concrete walls lining both sides of it, and even to the bare tree branches poking up over the top of the walls.
Incredible song!! Thank you!! 🎵🎶🙏❤

Just saying, every decade has something awesome to offer for music...Agreed? 😊
The last 2 decades doesn't have anywhere near as much to offer as the previous 5.5 decades. Music has really gone down hill in the 21st century because musicians under 40 years old care more about money and fame than art. And don't even get me started with auto-tune.
The 90s was the last decade.

That's the age I was when this song came out. WZXL in South Jersey played this song every 30 minutes in the summer of '96. I can't recall a memory of the mid-90's that doesn't have this song in it. From cruises down the shore with friends to love and heartache of the "summer love". With all teh BS in this world going on right now, I'd easily go back to that simpler song. Hearing this song takes me there.
You don't search for old songs, you search for old memories Nostalgia is one powerful thing
Yes. Well said
Absolutely right. Powerful, yes. I just never knew it would also be this painful.
This is the way!
Listening to this album at 13 years old while on my way with my mom and sister to Lake Tahoe to go skiing, just got the revolutionary “Furby.” Parents were separated but considering my Dad loved to ski, he actually came up to ski with us and share memories. God is always working with me as long as I stay honest.
From the library of my mind. Great memories indeed the mid 90s Warm and fuzzy when I think back. And without those I would have nothing. At least to me as those memories shape who we become Zoomers should be mindful of that cuz when they get old the cubbies will be empty.
I was a busy mom of very cool teenagers. Reading how many teens loved growing up in the 90s is like a family reunion for my heart. Peace and love to all you 30 somethings

I was really depressed when this song came out. I was listening to this song when I tried to end it all, because of a breakup with someone that I really loved. This song resonated with me at the time. I and a friend would visit and listen to this song over, and over, and over. He was having some very personal problems, his wife left him and he was listening to this song, he had it on repeat and he did end it all. The song was playing when they found him, and I often wondered if this song resonated with him more than it did with me. I hoped that it would have worked for me, but thank GOD it didn't. I am a Christian now and I believe that I will meet GOD when it is my appointed time. Thank you for this beautiful song after all these years.

Amen to that! I grew up in a friend group in the early 2000s that loved drugs and rock music. I was friends with them because of the music. Dated one of the guys for several years. He was abusive. I got out but am still fond hearted of that group because most of them were just heartbroken teenagers. I am now a devout Christian, I have a family and a great life. Many of them have been to jail and or prison. As my ex is still in prison now. This song just hits something in me. It did back then and always will.

I remember hearing this song for the first time in 1995 at the Houston zoo. I went on a school field trip and had my sandwich and Surge soda and was sitting in the outdoor eating area. They had it playing over the speakers and it was just a really good day. 90's don't die!

My mother used to pick me up from daycare and this was always on the radio. As I grew older it faded from memory. As I got older I joined the Navy, never really got to see my mother a lot. She came to visit me in San Diego and she was driving and all of the sudden all the memories from being a child hit me. It was weird being 21 feeling like a 3 year old again. Music is really a portal to your past memories.
Amen Brother. Thank you for your Service!
This masterpiece holds such a special place in my heart. It's my personal time travel machine, as soon as I hear those first lyrics, I'm a child again, rollerblading in front of my house, this song bursting from my sister's room on a summer morning... I see it all again through the eyes of the 9 year old I was. It was a pure, happy feeling of just *being* .
Same for me
That is wonderful to hear! Thanks so much for sharing Kat.
Indeed it's a masterpiece, and a time machine, and it holds up the test of time very well, it's in my top 5 of 90's songs.

Thanks so much Cory! ✯🙏🎵
Who else was watching and listening to this on MTV in 1995!
Right here 14 years old.
Yes I was 22 great song.
16
Great memories.
@Major woody me too
Now I realize why my grandparents were stuck in the 20's; I wish the 90's didn't end so soon...I'm stuck, too.
Ha Awesome.... and true :)
You and me the same. Can't stand the music of to today except a couple exceptions. 90$ RULED
The 90's were full of great music but I'm a bit older than you I guess because I'm stuck in the 80's
Love this song
Barely got radio play but was happy when I did hear this song
Still listening in 2024
Iconic 90's tune. JR has such a dynamic beautiful voice on this recording. I sing this song often especially when warming up the vocal chords because of the range in his voice. One of my fave 90's of all time by far.
✯ Wow! I am honored Mike :) 🙏🎵
This song has aged well. Still a fantastic song and wonderful composition
It sure does.
I'm 55 and STILL listening to bands from the 90s like this in 2019😀
So am I--both!! Check out "Smells Like The 90's" on iHeart Radio!
I`m 65 and doing the same!
54 and still enjoy my oldies...lol
36 here and still listen to the 90's rock bands. 4 ever \,,/
And if you are like me...90's does not even seem that old!
This is a great example of a song that evokes an emotional response, taking me back to high school. Timeless tune…
This puts me in my 1990 Mustang, driving to San Antonio with my wife by my side and our six year old daughter in the back seat. Much has collapsed since then, but this remains a solid memory of a much happier time.
Those were great times Ben :)
@@JRRichardsOfficial and yes, I counted blue cars with my daughter. 😍
Plot twist, Ted mosby was actually Dr X all along.🤯
Lol!
HAHAHA Too Funny!
I hate you 😂😂😂
*spits* - WHAAAT?!
Hey guys, follow my lead. *Takes Sip* *SPIT* -NOO!
I WANT MY 90s BACK!
I hear you..
Me 2222
Me too, and I was born in 2008!

One of the most memorable contributions of alt-rock to mid-90s pop. Beautifully written lyric with an innocence and openness fueled by the anger behind phrases like "am I very far, now?" followed by a snarling guitar. The idea of God as female was still relatively new in the pop mentality, and this lyric served to stretch the spiritual horizons of an entire generation. It was one of the anthems of the summer of 96.
✯ Thanks for the kind words Brian! 🙏🎵
Yes! Agree with all you said Brian!
2023 and still gives me great vibes! It's also wholesome to see the lead singers responses to the comments 😊
Thanks so much for the kind words! :)
This song is like a time machine straight back to the 1990s*
Yes! Also included is Gin Blossoms, Spin Doctors, Pearl Jam, Hootie and the Blowfish, and Bush.
Or the answer to the question: describe the 90's with one song?
@@user-hv9mt7nc4n Sorry but technically that's not 90's, but 80's.
A song about existentialism. The 90s, when artists weren't fake and plastic.
👏🏼💕✨
lol i heard this song for the first time in 98. I would listen to it over and over back then. lol man im always a day late and a dollar short. but this is the first time watching the video and after seeing all the signs and symbols and you covering your eye at 3:47 i knew what god hes talking about.
@@jacobknapp2710 There's also the lyric "Tell me all your thoughts on God. And tell me, am I very far?"
They were all fake and plastic
@@user-hk7hz9cn7v only Courtney
Man music videos in the 90s had a very specific aesthetic.
My god yes :)
I think he was definitely one of the best vocalists of the 90s!
A classic the should be on everyone's 90s rock playlist
Thanks Wizard!
Best songwriting since Neil Young!
Makes me wish i grew up in the 90s.
It is
@@petemyer6401 😂🤣 LOL!!!!!!
I can still remember the sweet scent in the air of the long grass in Louisiana, my wife and I holding hands as we drove across our, then, home. That beautiful Summer day in '96 as the sun floats low in the sky and caressed us warmly when it slowly began to set. I looked at my beloved, relaxed in our little, red chariot and her angelic smile worked the magic that it always does and turned me, a hard man, into soft butter. This was the song that played for us and, for just a little while, we enjoyed our own small piece of perfection along a smooth country road as God sang for two of his children. :)
blackwunk That is fantastic and should be a song itself :) Thanks so much for listening!
JR Richards Official Mr. Richards, I'm thanking the heavens above that you all made that song for us to enjoy! The sentiment is sincere and you can have the words I said. Please create more music for us to hear and make magic memories with to last another lifetime? :)
blackwunk I am working on a new album now :) Thanks so much again!! Best - JR
+JR Richards Official where Can I Pre order it JR???????????????? im not a rich dude? but I can help with a few bucks if it will help you out. your amazing man year ago some chick?

+blackwunk That's absolutely beautiful :D
One of my favorite songs from the 90's. Gives me chills!
✯ Wow! That is awesome to hear! :) 🙏🎵
yes it does even though i dont buy the idea of jugment
I wish everyday I’d wake up with this song on my radio and I was back in the 90s and all this had been a really bad messed up dream. My heaven if it exist will be the 90s
Brings me back to my youth in the 90s I wish I could go back 😢
Not nearly enough views for this straight up classic track.
Thanks Anthony!!
Heard this song via Dr. X on my college radio.
Just watched that episode ✅
@@cooperd83I'm watching it now xd
Me too
This Cd got me through some of the toughest years of my life. Thank you for being such a positive force in my life. I honestly don't know where I would be without you guys.
I am tottaly honored my man :) Thanks so much for the post! - JR
This song came on in the grocery store this evening. Now, I'm watching the video on KZhead and thinking back to 95 when I was 9 years old rocking out to this song then. This song is still a banger, and hasn't aged a bit.
90s: The last time music had heart, mind, soul, and feeling.
It still does, it's just that good music is not mainstream like it once was.
Thanks Holden!
I would disagree. The 90's music did have heart, mind & feeling but that continued into the early 2000's. It's the early 2000's that was the last decade to have great music with with heart, mind, soul & feeling. REMEMBER many of the 90s groups continued making great music in the early 2000's.
Everything was better in the 90's
F'n rite
You got that right boss !!..
@@gabrielthivierge7719 Totally better at least till 2000 came.
@@mikey_suzefour the grounge rock made a comeback in the early 90's. The grunge rock then turned heavier like god smack , shinedown. That scene is still strong in 2019. This band isnt that far off from that sound. I doubt the 80"s and up to 1992 eara will ever be the same. The 80's were fun music. From beginning to end. That was a long decade of fun. These bands saliva included seem to be more into the message not only in the titles. Almost goth grunge like.
80s and 70s were better
I had a very abusive father. I was born in 90 and went to elementary school in Arizona and that was before the abuse got REALLY bad. He used to put a ziplock bag of cereal together so I could eat it while he takes me to school. And we’d listen to the radio. Songs like this hold those good memories of us in my head. As much as I don’t like my dad, I like those memories. I wish I could reach out to these guys and tell them. The impact they have is incredible. I get choked up because I’m so grateful to have that moment.
Music is a powerful thing... I hope all is well!
I hope you have forgiven your father, he was probably just a victim too. Its a childhood trauma that repeats itself until someone tries to break it and heal. Have a good one!
30 years! what? How can that possible be? I will forever live in the 90's ❤
It has gone by way too fast!!
I want soooo bad to go back to this day in time 😢😢 I was a blooming flower 🌼 with my whole life ahead of me, so much to learn, so much to see, my book was still unwritten.
I used to listen to this song on an old clock radio back in the 90's and immediately loved it. I'm 34 and still rocking it. Literally NO music today can compare. Ridiculously good. All late 80's 90's music makes me so happy whenever I hear it. Absolutely love it.
Bud I'm 34 as well I can remember listening to this song when. I was a kid as well when you had no worries in the world and people were so much more laid back and joyful ... and hanging out with my friends listening to this song
Good music is still out there. You just have to search a lot harder for it.
Saaaame. 35 now. Todays music, if you can even call it that, is nonsense. Dishwalla FTW!
^^
I swear the 90s were the height of music! So glad I can say that this was the decade I was born.
So true... I was lucky to be there writing songs :)
Adam Devine's fav song... True story. T.I.I Nation!
Really??
Dishwalla, Matchbox 20 and vertical horizon Oh! the days of good music
love me some vertical horizon! She's everything you want...she's everything you need...
I love all 3. Those days were the best!
Exactly!
I liked Vertical Horizon's sound musically, but those lyrics...not fun. I see why people associate it with "nice guy" syndrome. Just really depressing to hear given my childhood and relationship issues
Matchbox Twenty is so good. How I Used to Be? Not really any other songs I can think of that express this concept. Rob Thomas pops up in the strangest places too, like on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
I remember always hearing this song as a kid riding around on weekends with my dad. I get all the feels and waves of nostalgia listening to this. This song has so much of a deeper meaning to me as an adult now and as my dad is losing his battle to stage 4 cancer. So many questions about God, life, and why?
Stephanie Carter she’s there, and she’s watching over him, ready to bring him into heaven 😉
Though we are a blip in time this song and the memories it brings will last forever. Godspeed!!!!
Stay strong, all love from Daytona beach
It's so strange....... My dad passed away may 10yh 2020, this song is all. My youth, my moments looking at him doing nothing special, asking myself what life will be looking like... So nostalgic, so heartbreaking but feeling free and grateful for this life
@@keithgasca3709 thank you ❤️
I was 17 when this came out fell in love with this song!! Still to this day when I hear it...it's like I time travel back to the good ol days I get that feel good feeling in the pit of my stomach! 💜🎸🎵Amazing! Classic! Forever!
Hell yeah the 90s were the greatest!!!
✯ Thank you for still listening Patricia! :) 🙏🎵
This song still in my rotation in 2023. Part of a great era in modern rock.
So awesome to hear!
This one never gets old. It never will.
Glad to see you all again, fellow 90s surfers!

@@numbersguy8737 me too lol
Wow same for me lol
I heard this song about a million times during the 90s but this is the first time I've seen it. What a beautiful video! I love the colors and the overexposure effect. The singer is very charismatic, too. I'm also loving the VERY 90s camera panning and spinning.
I don't think I ever watched the video
Spot on
Same here. I am just watching the video for the very first time in 2022, 27 years after first hearing it! I've heard the song so many times - it is one of the songs that just takes me back to my 20s - but I somehow never knew who sang it.
Same here! I have the cd too!

You and counting crows. I am 40 in March still love the 80's/ 90's music.
Thank you for still listening! :)
Lily Aldrin talked me into this!
God I miss the 90's, I had an awesome childhood then!
70s childhood was much better.
Me to bro the 90’s were the last of innocents I mean we didn’t have a phone in our hand at all periods of the day. We actually hung out with our friends listened to music and talked.
@@MrKarmapolice97 i get your point but late 70s and early 80s were a different kind of special time.
A huge damn piece of work! What a song! This is iconic from the 90's
✯ Wow! Thanks for the kind words Mark! :) 🙏🎵
Shout out to TII nation for bringing this jam into my life. It's a good one.
Thank you!
We were one of the few last generations that grew up without social media.
The 90’s was the beginning of online issues. Online Porn, Chat groups, etc. Beginning of the messed up online world.
@@mysterycomment1553 AOL instant messenger was the thing, but that didn’t start much til late 1998-99
@@MK-ib4dp seriously my parents didn't even get a desk top til 2000. The local libraries got them in 1997/1998. I can still hear the screech of dial up!!
First pc in ‘97 and the internet being in its infancy stage, dial up tone is forever engraved in me.
No bs. You sat your ass down and listened to the radio. If you wanted to watch TV you were home at 7pm to see it. House phone to call your buddies. Miss it bad
I have never shared this before and I'm sure no one will care or see this but this song was playing on the radio the night when my brother passed away at 20 years old from cancer. Every time i hear it it brings me right back to that day. Every word of this feels like it was written for him.
I'm so sorry Kasey, that must have been very difficult to bear. I hope that you have many cherished memories of him. He is with you in spirit - I'm certain of it.
God bless you, may he rest in peace...

This is important pod brought me here

This song brings back so many memories.... Oh, wow... Almost brings a tear in my eye...
Thanks for still listening Tad!
So I grew up in the late 60s and 70s, raised on classic rock, when a new super album came out almost weekly. I was also a constant fan of 90s rock. So many good tunes that I still listen to. I bought all my favorite CDs and passed the love of it on to my son who remarked, "Dad has more of my music than I do!" This ranks right up there as one of my all time favorites. I'm actually on here because I was chatting with a friend and I wanted her to hear it too! Thanks for a great song!
Thanks for still listening my man! - JR
your greatest hit was released on VH1 in June 1996; luv ya music; bring back 90s again; better than 2022!

So who's listening in 2024?!

Thanks Hazel!!
this song is depressing, it just makes you miss the 90s
+JOE40341 yes,i thought the same. I love this song,i always will,it's very beautiful. It reminds me of being a child cause i was a child when it came out. It was a happy time,i'd give anything to go back. This was a song i loved as a child,& have never gotten tired of it.

Wow! Honored to be a part of that list!! :)
Thank you, This Is Important podcast, for reminding me today of this absolute banger of which I, too, know every single note.
Awesomeness!
The golden era, between the death of grunge and the rise of rap rock.
Yes it was! thanks for posting :)
ikr?! This period in music is so slept on.
I totally agree... I've been grunge for life and always will be.. oddly this song stuck out..
The birth of buttrock ripoff bands
@@omardelmar We used to call this Alternative back in the day. Not sure what it's officially styled as.
Sometimes a song can get stuck in your head and it can be so annoying. I'm going on the third day of Counting Blue Cars playing on a loop in my head, I'm in no hurry for it to stop.
This has always been such a beautiful song. These past few months I have listened to it all night. It has helped me through a very difficult time. Thank you and God bless you
