This 'acoustic' version is powerful, melodic, and probably one of my most favorite Hootie and The Blowfish tracks ever! There is only one Darius Rucker, and in this studio we see why this man relates to his listening public so very well! Amazing!!
I heard Darius once say he wanted to be known for his voice. Like Elton John or Rod Stewart or Mick Jagar, when you hear his voice you know it. Well done Darius
This is the best voice of our generation. I remember listening to him on New Year's Eve, and telling everyone in my small Oklahoma College that this was the best Vocalist of our Generation and having people tell me I was a moron. I was not.
Darius Rucker live , acoustic, and broken down into it's simplest form. Now this man is a true talent. His performance on this song is why Hootie and The Blowfish were such a successful rock band from the 90's. Cracked Rearview is still one of my all time favorite albums, ever!
There are too many country stars this day in age that needs their voice altered and or enhanced in studios... Darius is one of few true singers in the country world who can sing just as beautiful off stage as he does on stage.
@Darius Rucker you are so talented and humble,as young as I am(31) i remember in North Carolina when people were still humble and kind,your music is awesome man,keep it up brother
Thank you all for your lovely comments and support towards me. I will continue bringing you all the best . I am very grateful 🙏to have you as a fan that cares ...... Feel free to send me a message on my email I promise to reply back .....
This is for all who think that the AWESOMENESS of Darius Rucker started with this country album!! Might wanna look him up in "86 and add from there! PURE TALENT is he xoxoxo
His move to country music was the best thing for him - this song if it came out today would be a #1 country hit. His voice and lyrics are perfect for country radio today.
Such a humble man! That is some of the reason that he has been so successful! It is his talent and humility. He seems so approachable too. If he can sign an autograph, he would gladly do so. As we know, since this interview, Darius has blown up big in Country music.I am not the biggest Country fan, but I like it with, Darius, doing it! I am not sure if we will see more of, Hootie and the Blowfish, since the “ Group Therapy” tour. I sincerely hope that they do. They are an awesome group that needs to keep it going. One of my all time favorite bands. Best wishes to them always moving forward! Peace.
well said nabill420 i couldnt have said it any better, darius is one talented singer, im a country fan myself big chesney fan,vince gill and many others but darius has such a raw voice great singer..
saw him in 2013 at a music festival when he was mostly country but he sang the hits of hootie as well. if you have never ever seen darius in concert it is definitely a must. he puts on a great show
My very 1st concert. Cracked rear view album across America. HOOTIE!!!!! AND THEM BLOWFISH !!!! I converted to country brother......n still following u cats. COME TO VERMONT !!!!!! KILLINGTON VERMONT HOOTIE !!!!
I am bipolar and this song describes me and what my husband goes thru. difficult life, but I'm able to fight the fight with inspiring songs like this one, she talks to angels, meet Virginia. Bipolar life is hard. Thk u Darius for this gift of song.
I don’t even know you personally, but I came back to tell you that I heard Meet Virginia on the radio a few days ago and thought of you! Hope you are doing well!
Best damn live I've ever heard him sing I think, THIS man knows soul. he has it through and through, I hope I never see a bad comment on this guy, Just so epic of a singer
Damn! Darius has the most amazing voice. Cool to hear the story behind the song. BYW, first time I saw him live, there was about 30 of us in the room. Total dive bar, early 90s. Knew then he was a talent. Goosebumps then, and now.
OMG. U wrote. That I love that song I played it on guitar for my girlfriend. And she just cried And cried I love her and I love your talent I know How to sing and play guitar but... I don't know How to write. Songs and I really really wanna to I lobe that song then again I played it on the guitar for my girl. And she cried an cried now all the girls won't me Thank u for writing and producing It Thank u I almost cried my self Thank u I love u and your talent Thank u let your woman cry of joy
The music Hootie and the Blowfish put out in the 90s was imo more country than most of what is considered country today. This despite the fact Hootie fell under the pop music genre when it was put out.
You Were Right. Darius Rucker Is A Country Music Mogul. What's Really Sad Is, He's NOT Acknowledged/ Recognized/Honored As He Should Be!...By Award Shows Nor Black Entertainment! It Won't Be Like This For Long!
Let's all take a moment of silence and reflect on the realization that 2008 was 15 years ago.
Just straight chills right on the first words he sang. He sings so effortlessly.
This 'acoustic' version is powerful, melodic, and probably one of my most favorite Hootie and The Blowfish tracks ever! There is only one Darius Rucker, and in this studio we see why this man relates to his listening public so very well! Amazing!!
In my humble opinion my favorite voice I’ve heard.
His voice is so distinct I love hearing him sing . Just awesome !!!
I heard Darius once say he wanted to be known for his voice. Like Elton John or Rod Stewart or Mick Jagar, when you hear his voice you know it. Well done Darius
Nailed it!
Everyone please read the Bible
This is the best voice of our generation. I remember listening to him on New Year's Eve, and telling everyone in my small Oklahoma College that this was the best Vocalist of our Generation and having people tell me I was a moron. I was not.
He's good. Damn good but no Cornell
@@yui-omimuni9248Cornell? Lol
@@keyboardwarrior5612 Chris Cornell

Everyone please read the Bible
15 years later and this never gets old! A true acoustical voice of genius, one of a kind voice that still blows me away! He does it so effortless
Darius is incredibly talented and so humble!!!

Darius Rucker live , acoustic, and broken down
into it's simplest form. Now this man is a true talent. His performance on this song is why Hootie and The Blowfish were such a successful rock band from the 90's. Cracked Rearview is still one of my all time favorite albums, ever!

Darius' voice is ONE OF A KIND!
Oh man.. takes me back!! So powerful! Damn I miss the 90's!! Life was SO much simpler!!
Hes so humble, kind, and a great guy. Hes awesome.
There are too many country stars this day in age that needs their voice altered and or enhanced in studios... Darius is one of few true singers in the country world who can sing just as beautiful off stage as he does on stage.
Beautiful song. One of my favorites of Hootie and the Blowfish!! :)
Darius Rucker can sing the phone book. His voice is magical and soft, smooth and also raspy at the same time! He’s a smooth dude…
Darius is so humble he doesn't need instruments his voice is just that good
@Darius Rucker you are so talented and humble,as young as I am(31) i remember in North Carolina when people were still humble and kind,your music is awesome man,keep it up brother

I'm Glad Darius Rucker Still Making Beautiful Music.

😂
its been so long, and yet his voice is still as fresh as what it was in cracked rear view
A genuine person with amazing talent. A true once in a generation type of talent. Not to be overlooked or underestimated.
Over a decade later I still pull this video up and sing it to my 5 month old, he falls asleep every time. I prefer this over his hootie version.
Darius Rucker awesome song. Mr. Rucker is multi talented, musical genius. God bless you Mr. Rucker.
Two words: True. Talent.
Got it! Nothing much more to say
2019 still awesome 👏
A song that only a broken heart can produce.
Gorgeous voice

The Hootie albums very much have a country feel. Good stuff!
