This is bittersweet. My husband used to open for them. He passed away years later. I've lived and breathed their songs since I was young. This is still my anthem.
Imagine being so talented at song writing that just playing the first riff of a depressing song makes thousands of people lose their minds. That would be the greatest feeling ever
@@brianstearns3692 No one cares dude. BTW using pitch corrections isn't a bad thing. Its normal I'd do it too. I have multiple GGD tattoos so Im not exactly a hater.Seen them 11 times too met them twice.
Agreed. But I did enjoy most versions of their songs in Red Rocks. I heard something that his voice had taken a toll on him up until then...Not sure but yeah I like this one too.
@@rossnr100, live performances are the only way to judge true talent. Anybody can mix and edit an album to make it sound good. But can they play it live In front of 100's to 1000's of people and make it better than what you hear on the album? Most can't, only artists with actual talent can.
Hey bubba I'm in my 40s this song reminds me of high school and my friends. We took a random trip to South Padre Island our senior year. We jammed this song and many more in a 1989 mustang. Man that was fun
"Scars are souvenirs you never lose The past is never far Did you lose yourself somewhere out there? Did you get to be a star? And don't it make you sad to know that life Is more than who we are" This part hits me like a ton of bricks, every single time
Better song than Iris. I think this was their most underrated in terms of not receiving long term notoriety and recognition. Iris was on a soundtrack which put it in to fame I guess.
"And even tho the moment passed me by, I still can't turn away"...We've all been there, but he says it so beautifully. MY favorite first line of ANY song.
unreal song. I dont know about you guys but it is extremely nostalgic for me. I'm a 90s kid and this reminds me of strictly my great childhood when there wasn't a worry in the world. love it.
I cry .My son ROBBY was a star WITH his guitar is how I found this song on his bed the last song he played for me 7:28 pm July 21,2007.saturday night .
These boys are just DAMN SPECIAL. They're music just gives me goose bumps, that's what this song does to me. My wife got me tickets to the STL show next Friday. It's going to be AMAZING. First time for me seeing Goo Goo Dolls live. Im an idiot 😤 not seeing them before in my life, I've always liked they're music. Johnny is a BAD ASS live. So COOL 😎
His song transcends the ages allowing everyone to understand and feel the message conveyed. Good music is that way. Helps to forget that I'm getting old.
It’s really not. It’s More like a change of audience. Bands like this aren’t popular anymore due to a lack of listeners because of pop culture unfortunately :/
I have depression, and I’m leaving the school I’ve been at for 4 years in a week. The emotions I’m feeling aren’t really something that can be articulated, but whatever it is. This song speaks to it. It’s nostalgic and wistful and you can hear the pain behind every word. Thank you Goo Goo Dolls for saving my life on multiple occasions
I suffered from depression for ten years. Ended up CHOOSING to embrace life. That choice has served me well. Can't tell you how much I love these sappy love songs but I truly do. Also love life but it is indeed a choice. Read Kierkegaard if you are so disposed.
This song played on the radio last week. I looked it up. Been listening to it all week. So powerful, so deep, so raw. Perfect! Perfect! Never had a song speak to me so much.
For my beautiful little brother Tom, this band’s music was what helped him to progress into a very talented self-taught guitar player, a strong irish folk influence was what he finished with before he was cruely taken from us. “Tom Kennedy” “Have you no home” Until we see you again Tom 💔♥️🙏🏻
Vou deixar meu desabafo aqui; Um concerto desse nunca mais veremos. A voz, o timbre, a dedicação em cada estrofe, as notas tocadas perfeitas, a música, a letra, a Banda, estamos em 2023 e não vejo isso a mais de 2 décadas...... Os músicos de hj não sei mais oque fazem...... Love u GGD!!!!
When I listen to their music I just get lost in it. I can not do anything but sit there and listen so intensely. Like- they are telling me a story and my life is over if I dont hear the end of it. I don't love anything as much as I love their music.
One of my all time favorites. Reminds me of a best friend that is better off in heaven. His struggles were too much. RIP Duane! Miss u every day and every time I hear this song I think of you! RIP brother
The Goo Goo Doll's are so win. I remember it(dizzy up the girl) was one of the first cd's i ever bought in california on a family road trip from iowa at age like.. 10 or 12.. Amazing Music
Wow, he sings so well, live. One of my all-time favorites... My sincerest thanks to him and his group for formulating and showing this song to the world. Something about it is just so special to me.
This song has such a place in my heart distinct memory of riding the bus on the way to summer school and not feeling like I belonged anywhere and this song came in and at that moment everything didn't matter and felt like I belonged somewhere it's such a beautiful sentimental song.🖤❤️
"Name" And even though the moment passed me by I still can't turn away Cuz all the dreams you never thought you'd lose Got tossed along the way And letters that you never meant to send Got lost or thrown away And now we're grown up orphans And never knew their names We don't belong to no one That's a shame But you could hide beside me Maybe for a while And I won't tell no one your name And I won't tell 'em your name And scars are souvenirs you never lose The past is never far Did you lose yourself somewhere out there? Did you get to be a star? And don't it make you sad to know that life Is more than who we are We grew up way too fast And now there's nothing to believe And reruns all become our history A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio And I won't tell no one your name And I won't tell 'em your name I won't tell em' your name Oooh, oooh, oooh I won't tell em' your name, Hey. I think about you all the time But I don't need the same It's lonely where you are Come back down And I won't tell 'em your name
I'm a 31 year old male and I'm not ashamed to say I've played this song a billion times in my life. In fact every time I hear it I get this great feeling from when I was young and listening to this on my CD player while shooting hoops in the summer thinking of a girl.

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I am truly sorry for your loss.Nothing hurts like the loss of your other half.Keep his memory alive and in your heart.
What band was your husband in that opened up for Goo Goo Dolls?
when that first guitar strum hits, I'm pulled straight back to high school and the smell of this CD case when I opened it.
Scars are souvenirs you never lose, the past is never far...
Life is hard. I sometimes wonder how we move on from tragedy. It is an unbelievable journey.

Some of the most brilliant lyrics ever...
I think Johnny Rzeznik is a one-in-a-million song writer
No pitch correction, no machines...just raw TALENT.
They used pitch corrections dude even here

You weren’t even dissing those things, just mentioning this was done without. Great song 🤘🏻I was 13 when it came out, was all over the radio
i wanted everyone to know your comment spot on..
In my humble opinion, the best version of Name they've ever done
Agreed. But I did enjoy most versions of their songs in Red Rocks. I heard something that his voice had taken a toll on him up until then...Not sure but yeah I like this one too.
There Letterman performance of it was the best to me, both are great.
Steve M is this on cd?

The 2004 gig at Buffalo, NY is my favourite.
"Don't it make you sad to know that LIFE is more than who we are".........Such meaning. I love these guys.
This line hits me the hardest than any other in any song. It hits deep in a sad and so very true way. In the end, we will all be dust.
I'm a grown ass man in my twenties, but this song hits me right in the feels.
Probably because many people can relate to it. There are so many raw emotions in this song.
What is an "ass man"? It dont sound good.
SunDevils1990 same
@@joshuaderstine6934, it's kind like an eyes man, or a titty man, he just likes asses, to each their own.

"Scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there?
Did you get to be a star?
And don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are"
This part hits me like a ton of bricks, every single time
The last two lines hit hard
I’ve seen the goo goo dolls once and Bon Jovi 20 times. If I could I’d replace all 20 bonjovi concerts for 1 goo goo show. They’re amazing live
John is really something special. A complete genius and in my opinion the most talented musician in the world
Better song than Iris. I think this was their most underrated in terms of not receiving long term notoriety and recognition. Iris was on a soundtrack which put it in to fame I guess.
Normanb15 or Here Is Gone....amazing song
@@jessicamcneil7494 *their *song
AGREED
Way better
Yep, I think this is better than Iris. But this is not their most underrated.
"Scars are souvenirs you never lose". No truer statement in the history of the world.
"And even tho the moment passed me by, I still can't turn away"...We've all been there, but he says it so beautifully. MY favorite first line of ANY song.
I cry when I hear this song. Anyone of you all feel the same way?
+J Gallardo damn bro
gavg92 It's a deep story. It's has a lot of ethos.

Same. Listening to the top 10 on Bayou 104 sitting on the bunk bed with my brother. Brings me right back there.
The way he sings “now there’s nothing to believe” in this version always gives me chills
Scars are souvenirs you never lose...the past is never far
How true!!!
This song , the lyrics , the story it's just so perfect
I feel a lot of people can relate to this

This is one of those great songs that after one time you hear it you will always like it
And will stay with you forever
His song transcends the ages allowing everyone to understand and feel the message conveyed. Good music is that way. Helps to forget that I'm getting old.
This is a lost art. The world does not make people like this anymore.
It’s really not. It’s More like a change of audience. Bands like this aren’t popular anymore due to a lack of listeners because of pop culture unfortunately :/
Think back at my childhood, this song hits me. Longing for what was and what never would be.

Actual talent. Sounds just as good live.
This song played on the radio last week. I looked it up. Been listening to it all week. So powerful, so deep, so raw. Perfect! Perfect! Never had a song speak to me so much.
I think this is the most moving songs by the goo goo dolls. Simple symbolism explain some important rituals we all experience.
I had a crush on a girl at college when this song was a hit. I never knew her name.
Same! Thinking about her hurts a little and makes me smile.
Her name is mark. He is an mma fighter now.
Such a gorgeous tune..Still very much alive 2 days away from 2023
greatest song ever
I love this video!! It resonates with me on a level I can't explain. I watch it everyday. I miss the music of the past 😞
Could his voice sound any better!! What a performance. The whole band sounds incredible!!!
I just love the rhythm stroke of the acoustic guitar and his vocals.
I love them in concert, have seen them four times now and hoping to see them again whenever they go on tour again. Johnny is outstanding!
I saw him in Orange County, California Summer 2021. He has such a great sense of humor
I've had brain surgery for brain cancer, the line "scars are souvenirs" means a lot to me.
Wow even better live!!❤🌹
Instant tears w
everytime I hear it......R.I.P MOM 9-1-17.......REST EASY ANGEL 🤙🏻🤙🏻
For my beautiful little brother Tom, this band’s music was what helped him to progress into a very talented self-taught guitar player, a strong irish folk influence was what he finished with before he was cruely taken from us. “Tom Kennedy” “Have you no home” Until we see you again Tom 💔♥️🙏🏻
Wow, their live performances are always soo good.
If you've never seen a concert at Red Rocks, suggest it gets added to your bucket list. What a place!! Magical!!
Best song ever!
A tired song plays on a tired radio.... always loved that verse
how can anyone dislike this!?? This is live music at its very best!!!
I keep on hitting that repeat button. He sings with so much passion!!! Love this...
Vou deixar meu desabafo aqui;
Um concerto desse nunca mais veremos.
A voz, o timbre, a dedicação em cada estrofe, as notas tocadas perfeitas, a música, a letra, a Banda, estamos em 2023 e não vejo isso a mais de 2 décadas...... Os músicos de hj não sei mais oque fazem...... Love u GGD!!!!
what a song, The past is never far, did you loose yourself some where out there! Love Johnny Rzeznik!
One of the best lyrically written songs of the rock era.
When I listen to their music I just get lost in it. I can not do anything but sit there and listen so intensely. Like- they are telling me a story and my life is over if I dont hear the end of it. I don't love anything as much as I love their music.
Truly one of the greatest songwriters of our time. Thank you John for this masterpiece.
John, he is a true Artist and a musician, one of the best and always will be! We should be thanking you.
We had great times in Denver and I'll always remember those days.
Thank you.
one of my favourite songs from the 90's. I'm 42 now, what a brilliant song
One of my all time favorites. Reminds me of a best friend that is better off in heaven. His struggles were too much. RIP Duane! Miss u every day and every time I hear this song I think of you! RIP brother

it's that his voice is so deep and far. great musician!
Best version of this song ever
This song has so much meaning.
"I think about you all the time, and I don't need the same." I love this line!
That line always pulls at my heart strings
What a folk guitar..and the bass line..awesome
Drums sounds great here. Everything does
My favorite Goo song. I just get lost in this....LOVE it!!
This is talent! He wrote, he composed it, he performed it...and it is timeless!
not one dislike.
this song is simply legendary.
Most beautiful performance... hands down
2015, Still watching this, still amazing. Goo Goo Dolls are simply amazing at live performance
2017 yo and i caught them live a month ago
That voice ... that MAN. There's nobody like him. Still so hot, such greatness. LUV the Dolls!
Ha, I totally get why your panties would get wet. Jhonny is a master.
He amazes me with what he can do with that guitar
One of the most beautiful songs ever
How is this song depressing? It makes me feel FANTASTIC!!!!
Maybe a bit of a depressing song, but damn beautiful... I could listen to this all night long...
I'm 16, and I've loved them since I was born. My dad has called me "Googie" since I was very little, after them. God, I love this band so much.
Woah you’re 27 now!

I am 17 years old and the goo goo dolls have helped me out so much. Love these guys
this is perhaps the best live performance of all time
One do the most peaceful good , best songs I’ve listed to love this song so much
This song came out when my grandmother passed. I lived with her and she was my best friend. It gives me both sadness and comfort .RIP mommom
Five people don't know greatness when they hear it.
Mr. John sure has a way with "depressing ballads"....and an incredible writer...
I love this masterpiece, and John puts alot of emotion into the song on stage, this is real music
Absolutely lovely song. John is a very beautiful man
The song that made me a Goo Goo Dolls fan in 1995 😍❤
He rarely plays any of his songs in a standard tune that's why I love his music. He's very talented and creative.
Don't it make you sad to know that life is more than who we are?? Our time on earth is so short.
"Scars are souvenirs we never lose.... the past is never far".. Damn good line..
This song has such a place in my heart distinct memory of riding the bus on the way to summer school and not feeling like I belonged anywhere and this song came in and at that moment everything didn't matter and felt like I belonged somewhere it's such a beautiful sentimental song.🖤❤️
Yet to find any lyrics that even rival this song. One of the best song writers ever.
A blessed voice!
great song, Johnny is a genius with his writing
"Name"
And even though the moment passed me by
I still can't turn away
Cuz all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Got tossed along the way
And letters that you never meant to send
Got lost or thrown away
And now we're grown up orphans
And never knew their names
We don't belong to no one
That's a shame
But you could hide beside me
Maybe for a while
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name
And scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there?
Did you get to be a star?
And don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are
We grew up way too fast
And now there's nothing to believe
And reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name
I won't tell em' your name
Oooh, oooh, oooh
I won't tell em' your name, Hey.
I think about you all the time
But I don't need the same
It's lonely where you are
Come back down
And I won't tell 'em your name
Red rocks amphitheater! I was there about a 100 years ago........wish I had been there for this performance!
That Acoustic has a great sound. When you combine the words and the music it's a very thought provoking song.
I'm a 31 year old male and I'm not ashamed to say I've played this song a billion times in my life. In fact every time I hear it I get this great feeling from when I was young and listening to this on my CD player while shooting hoops in the summer thinking of a girl.
