I 100% agree. I listened to this song countless times sitting in my car in high school. It probably saved my life to be honest bc it let me know it was ok to feel alone.
May 28th, 1999.....first kiss...went for it, and she loved me too....she moved 1000+ miles away the next day....came home, listened to this, and cried till I couldn't breathe...never made a connection like that again.
You guys didn’t keep in contact at all on the phone or internet? It’s never been easier to find someone thanks to social media. You could always try to find her.
I loved it when i was a kid and i actually love it more now. This album is nothing but good songs all the way through. I honestly couldnt tell you another album they did, though.
In high school my best friends and I used to drive around our small town listening to this song. Whenever I hear it I’m instantly transported back to those summer nights. “I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them.”
This song is personal to me because I had an experience like this with a girl. The funny thing we were listening to this album in my car and went straight to this song saying it was her favorite. I never really played much attention to this particular track before then. It was 2008 so old even then. It perfectly personified our relationship.
I totaled a 93 Grand Prix at 16yrs. old listening to this song. On my way to school, I flipped the car upside down into the woods and down a small hill. I specifically recall the song never skipping a beat in my 6 disc cd changer in the trunk. This song will always be epic to me, even in my epic fail!!!
This was the first CD I ever had in my life. My sister gave it to me for my 11th birthday. I knees all the songs, and when I finally saw them in Houston a few years ago, they played this album front to back. So grateful for that experience.

Was just walking around the streets of Milan on vacation and it came to me that this is the second part of Blinded. Not sure if this is common knowledge to TEB fans and I just thought of it independently or what, but I think the shared symbolism once you figure out is so cool. Love this song!
This song always reminds me of when was driving cross country smuggling marijuana for a living... I never knew what city I was in, Cali kids referred to the east coast as Babylon (cause, “New York City’s evil”) and cigarette ashes as well as the rising and setting Sun were always in my eyes. “I’ve never been so alone, and I’ve never been so alive”
This song reminds me of a 20 year old secret that I could never reveal but onto one. I hope she remembers the good times we shared. Life don't work out sometimes...
omg same...my car at the time ate the cd, and wouldn't give it back. It was really symbolic. At first. It would still play, but after a few months, it wouldn't even turn on anymore. It's as though it was weaning me off of her...
@@guerrillaradio9953 my girlfriend of 2.5 years broke up with me by removing her facebook status. There wasn't a call or text, there wasnt anything. I call her and she saids she loves someone else. Ive never been so alone indeed.
The hard part is "never been so alive". At first, it's that even though the pain seems unbearable, it really does make you feel completely alive, that there's a point, that it's more than the daily shit. Over time, you feel free from someone who treated you like shit, and that's the best part. When you can really say "I'm not thinking of you again." Then, 20 years from now, you look back, and it's just a distant memory that makes you smile, and you can laugh at it. People change, perspective changes, but love doesn't. If it does, it wasn't love.
This cd lol my childhood. 3EB was a good example of band that is misrepresented by their "popular" i.e shitty songs. If you ever hear a band with singles that you like, check out their actual album, you will always find songs 15x better than the singles - especially with a 90s band. Toadies, Sublime, Harvey Danger, Sugar Ray, Smashmouth, Third Eye Blind, Tonic, Better than Ezra, Tool, Deftones, Korn, LimpBizkit, and plenty of others fit this description.
so very true.the girl that didn't realize what she had and left it.thats why he says he is so alone yet so alive.i myself am going through this episode.i gave her the opportunity to choose.and she choose him.y?she said he is the father of her child and he has vowed not to love the child or see him once we are together.so after 33 months of giving her my time and soul she left and said she is giving up her happiness for her son.imagine he is a 44 year old doctor,she is a 29 year old nurse and im a 35 year old police officer.so its 4weekes since she left and though it hurts I told her love isn't to be blackmailed,nor bought(HE PROMISED HER A CAR,HOUSE,MONEY AND A BABY)it must come natural.finally for the 33months that we were together he harassed her constantly and for nothing would she take it out a restraing order on him,instead she said if she did that he would leave the country and her wouldn't know his dad.so I finally got fed up and gave her a choice and she took it.but I told her he never loved,he is just OBSSED and I would show REAL LOVE in that though I DONT LIKE her decision I WILL RESPECT IT and not HARASS HER LIFE.so its27 days and counting.and you know what im not doing to BAD!thank you for letting me share my story.
Love absolutely does not work that way!! You are a blessing and he is a nightmare....shouldn't have been a choice, child or no child. She is putting up with it and allowed him to do all of that to her and your relationship. If she truly wanted love....those possessions wouldn't have enticed her away. I'm sorry for your heartache. I hope it's getting better and that you'll find someone who will appreciate the love you have to give!!
This is an I'm leaving song. This is a we aren't ever going to be together again song. This is on the soundtrack of my divorce song. This is the song of me walking out of our door, and speeding off, and never coming back. To bad it has happened again. This time she left me, and I have other responsibilities, I would love to just leave it all behind, but theiugh the pain, I have to wade through, because I have too many people counting on me now, and I can't let them down, I won't let them down.
Trying to learn the picking on this song…. This is a cd I keep in my 2011 Dodge Caravan when I get a chance to rock out and be introspective. 1997 was so great.
Robert Kanedy, Thank you for listing this video. This is the most beautiful English song with lyrics that I've heard. Don't Stop Believin' by Journey is close, but the instrumental portion doesn't quite reach the level of beauty of this song. Neither 3EB nor Journey are in my top 3 musical artist groups though. I wish you and your family prosperous, long lives, Trip Seibold (Robert III)
I'm sure that with luck 10 people in Chile know this band... but I met this group about 20 years ago maybe more... and it's la raja (la raja is like saying cool ...here) like others that are not known here... like nada surf, i love this band.. czcams.com/video/ZwKNDoHtUTM/video.html and from nada surf...other like czcams.com/video/_IvYKoqWZ1I/video.html ...and ttws (toad the wett sproket) band too!!...

Depends on your mood - 3eb has a knack for having songs for different, yet inherently emotional situation. My personal fav at the moment? "Blinded." Why? An ex from 17 yr ago just came into my life.
I'm about to do as motorcycle drive by.... In my Chevy Cruze! Haha ... Cause it's too hard to let go....even though I am alive and I am alone and I would like to build something....the thing is....I think she was the LAST person to believe I could. Cause when I look at her I'm blinded like I'm staring down the sun.
I've always thought this song was about suicide...am I wrong? especially the last stanza...waves crashing over his head, sunset going down in my eyes...
It's about getting over an unrequited love. When he gets over her, he'll be a completely different person to her than she's known hence the you'll wonder who I am. And then ending is that his pain is no longer over her, he's moved on, the sun went down on that love...the suns no longer blinding him
Having had 2 suicide attempts when I was 16 in the first half of 1997, I can tell you with certainty that this song is NOT about suicide. Now, listen to several Linkin Park songs and there's a different story. I'm like, damn, how could I have missed it? So blatantly obvious about Chester Bennington's struggles. It was right there in his lyrics for the entire world to hear. Likewise for Curt Kobain who mentions a gun in just about every single one of his songs. I wish you and your family prosperous, long lives, Trip Seibold
One of their best songs . Still playing it loud and singing it out of key.
Maybe you should just play it loud then. no one likes when person sings off key
I 100% agree. I listened to this song countless times sitting in my car in high school. It probably saved my life to be honest bc it let me know it was ok to feel alone.
Hi, James!
Ignore Franklin, a year later and he still sounds like an ass. I just caught myself singing it so don't feel bad. I sing like a donkey.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Third Eye Blind are extremely underrated, always have been.
Which is good.
It’s great music, it’s beautiful..everyone should know of this music. Underrated....indeed!

This comment is also underrated
Seriously. My ex used to play their albums and they have so many hidden gems that weren’t played on the radio.
May 28th, 1999.....first kiss...went for it, and she loved me too....she moved 1000+ miles away the next day....came home, listened to this, and cried till I couldn't breathe...never made a connection like that again.
...when you know they are the one and only, and no one will ever measure up for the rest of your days. 😪
Yup....first cut is the deepest. Maybe. Someday...tiny spark of hope...someone will fan it into a blaze again...😌
You guys didn’t keep in contact at all on the phone or internet? It’s never been easier to find someone thanks to social media. You could always try to find her.
Goddamn that's a good song. Haven't heard it in a decade and it's still awesome.
I loved it when i was a kid and i actually love it more now. This album is nothing but good songs all the way through. I honestly couldnt tell you another album they did, though.
They don't make 'em like this anymore
Yeah they do, that’s all they do 😊
That's always been my favorite song from Third Eye Blind.
In high school my best friends and I used to drive around our small town listening to this song. Whenever I hear it I’m instantly transported back to those summer nights.
“I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them.”
This was my go to highschool late at night, summer song, with windows rolled down. Fond memories.
Summer dies and swells rise, the sun goes down in my eyes, see this rolling wave darkly coming to take me home.
A friend died a few days before I heard this song. Her name was Chelsea. This song will always be bittersweet for me

+PresliLM you have the best father :) . My brother introduced this song to me ..
Your dad knows good music.
My dad did too, long time ago and it has gotten me through a lot
Their best song. In my opinion, without a doubt. I’ve probably listened to this song hundreds of times without exaggeration.
You can tell this is a very personal song...
If you like "personal" music, check out The Front Bottoms lol
It brings back memories from my first love 15 years ago.
I've heard the album is inspired by his relationship with charlize theron

Damm brings back memories I remember buying this CD
Anyone finds this song to be introverted? I feel it fits me perfectly..my most favorite 3eb song ❤️
Yea. I see that. I'm introvert and it vibes with me so much.
