As a teen I spent years in a fairly traumatizing Psychiatric group home, my parents gave me up. My roommate used to sing this to me when I was scared and we were falling asleep. A small act of kindness that still makes me loved when I hear it 20 years later.

After I was diagnosed with cancer, I started chemo immediately. This was 1998 and I was 13. This was the song playing on the radio when my mom and I left the hospital after the first day. I will never forget listening to it while driving (or crawling) down the 405 freeway in Santa Monica. It is truly a "period piece" for me, despite this being a one-hit wonder.
Am I the only person who misses music from the mid 90s till 2000? 😂 45 years old as of yesterday and I still listen to stuff from the same era. Most new music is absolute crap man.
Oh no way dude!! Read the comments for almost any song from this era and you'll find loads of people reminiscing! I, too, much prefer it. (Though tbh not this song much.) Even going into the early 2000's is so positive for me (though admittedly that pop became a bit of a different animal.)
Shortly after 2000, "music" switched from being made by artists to being made by "performers". Rap/Hip-Hop and "pop" music killed the art. Lady Gaga (whose _real_ name is Stehanie something) was an exceptional artist who only became popular after transforming herself into a weirdo wearing dresses made of meat to draw attention to herself.
I remember this song played on MTV, and I liked some special feeling of that time it gave me, I remember that morning, people around me, some small stuff we did together and the song in a small TV

born in 88; I recently re-discovered this song and had it on repeat; just completely took hold of me and took me back to another place in time. 90s were something
I just heard this on the overhead speakers in my supermarket. Never heard it before. I just turned 65 a week ago; hardly the target demo but I love it. Wish I could rewind to February 2020 or earlier before this country went to hell.
Anyone here in 2021? I'm just here wishing I could time travel back to the early 1990's. Where I felt safe and shit was normal. Music is as close as I can get to time travel. 🎶🎶🎶
Got that right! I was listening to Bob, Led Zep, Def Leppard, the Doors, etc etc in the '70's & '80's, and as crazy as things seemed then, I'd gladly go back!
Same here, just happenned to me 5 minutes ago and I found it. I was a teenager in Lima - Perú and there was this radio station where they would play it a lot...Memories.
It was '98 or '99. My friends and I were in high school, and unpacking in our hotel room at a convention. The beds had this odd built-in radio between them. I remember folding clothes and listening to this song through the old speakers. I remember the anticipation of meeting the beautiful girl I only got to see a couple times a year at those conventions. I remember being young, with everything ahead of me. That's a moment I'd revisit in a heartbeat.
The 90’s was definitely something special for music. Reading everyone’s comments and being able to relate to all of them in some form of way, makes me believe that we’re all sharing and reminiscing on similar memories.
I think it's a combination of popular music was better & took more chances, it was pre 9/11 and pre social media and it was the time most of us were youngins and growing up. It's easy to reminisce about those times because they were simpler.
It truly was an amazing time to grow up and this era of music had such wide variety and extremely great talents that some made it big and some faded too but some those not so known bands were super famous with just one song or just a handful and this is a beautiful classic!!!
A college friend of mine, then the head of a major broadcasting company in Munich, brought this song back to Germany from a trip to the U.S. and had his DJs play it. It became a huge hit. A little later, the station brought Shawn in for a few smaller concerts. I saw him and his stunning band in Munich: they were awesome. Nothing came of Shawn's international career, probably because he was a rather introverted shy man, at least at that time. He was all about the music, never about the whole business. From the meet and greet I remember him as a very nice, polite, modest guy. I think he's still active in the club scene in and around.
That's somewhat true. Another interesting things about this time is that there was a huge push throughout the industry to find new alternative bands to turn into the next big time--a lot of them appeared for a song or so, haha
90' music had a way of healing from messed up youth filled with some sort of abuse that scars so many people sadly today's music couldn't heal a upset stomach
1998 was a traumatic year for me and my family. So when this song came out it was perfect timing for me personally. All I wanted was to hear was that everything was going to be OK. I've listened to it a lot over the last 24 years. Love it!
It wasn't just in one genre either, it was all of them. When artist and producers would have sessions together. They really came up with the most experimental and captivating sounds that just pulled every inch of the soul. That was my type of music. I think that's what it takes to have a timeless masterpiece.
I love how this song is a story. I love Shawn Mullin's voice. I love this video. I love how my memories of the 1990's flood back when I listen to this..
This is why I love his lyrics. They are clear and tell a story. His velvety calming voice is memorizing. Can't wait to see him in CA in September. I'm from the UK and have waited decades for this moment.
Shawn was a late 1990's hero....lets keep his VEVO going for him. He spent alot of time in dive bars building his career, so give him a like, it may make him a dollar. I really like all of Shawn's stuffl.
That is what I used it for when it came out. I heard it on Sirius Radio today. So here I am listgening again. This really saves me when life feels like it is falling apart.
90s is what brought all the new genres to date! Nothing beats the 90s as far as exploration and new beginnings of music. Today's music doesn't have that genre bending and new beginnings.
They play this at my job. I take it as a sign to keep going on no matter what. It helped me through my childhood. I had an abusive father. This song gave me hope. It still does.
When my wife and I were first married and pregnant with our first child we thought my wife was going into preterm labor. She called me while I was at work panicked and I told her I would head home and take her to the hospital. On my way home I was getting pretty worked up and this song started playing on the radio. Made me a bit more emotional, but I somehow knew deep down things would be alright. 15 years later my daughter is doing well and learning to drive. She's a pain in the butt, but I love her.
Needed to hear this tonight. one of those nights where the tears just won't stop and you have no one to talk to let alone understand. Music helps soothes the soul ♥
That is me, tonight. I hope you're doing better, by now. Much love from this stranger who came to the same song for a sense of comfort and release. All the best to you. 🙏💞
I have to listen to this song whenever I'm going through difficult times in my life. I tell myself, everything is gonna be alright. Not to mention, the nostalgic feeling it gives me is heart warming.
1998, I was in 4th grade. I called into the local radio station after my parents went to sleep to request this song. I sat with my cassette ready to record. It was too late, I fell asleep. I woke up in the middle of Lullaby, sad I couldn't record it, happy I could still hear the rest of the song.
I normally don't share my most personal stories with anyone except those closest to me, which are getting fewer and farther between these days. However, I do feel the need to share this. This song started hitting the airwaves around the time of my parents' divorce. I was 11 years old and felt overwhelmed by the changing circumstances. I felt that I had to come to terms with so many things in a short time. The music of the time was one of the few constants in my life, and this song stuck out to me lyrically, and I listened to it regularly, making those weekends with my drunken, abusive mother slightly more bearable. At the time, I tried taking the refrain to heart, but I spent the next five years lashing out at the world. However, I have been harkening back to that as the years have gone. Looking back, while the events of the time still stress me out, I'm at least glad that I was able to experience and appreciate the zeitgeist that was the 1990s.
This song takes me back when my wife and I were living in our first apartment that we lived in while we finished up college. It was cramped, the neighbors were jerks, and we had one tiny window air conditioner for the whole place....but we were happy. My how the years have gone by, haha:-)
I was a kid living in a small condo with my mom and brother while my dad was gone a lot for work. We made best friends with neighbor kids and had a blast with them. Everyone at school was super sweet to me even though I had an accent and developmental disorder. '98 was a fabulous year :).
I remember the first time I heard this song I was blown away, The lyrics felt as if he knew me, and the song could have been written about my life, right down to the Los Angeles locations he mentions. That's the mark of an incredible storyteller. Watching the video now, two decades later, I still recognize the girl I was in the past - although she bares no resemblance to who I am now. We all grow up and move on, and for the most part, become who we were meant to be. Mad respect for Shawn Mullins. Such wonderful music!
i love you momma in heaven,,you always told me everything is going to be all right....i miss you my best friend,,its so hard without you,,,have fun in HEAVEN,,,and oh..rock a bye bye.
Story of my life. Everything is gonna be alright. And I truly believe it will. BTW - I truly miss the 90’s. A very underrated decade that had lots of musical gems!
this was my dads favourite cd when i was growing up. i can remeber so vividly driving up to huntsville, Ontario Canada when i was like 7 or 8. My dad threw this cd in the old cd player in his '94 ram and I enjoyed it so much - as a young boy. Today i'm 27. I have never stopped listening to this album throughout my 20's. All the songs start to mean so much more to you as you age. I think my dad connected with these songs on a personal level, almost like he left a story for me. I love you so much dad.
Being one who grew up and became an adult in the 90's it felt different, we just embraced our time. Perhaps it's the same. but we were coming to the end of the century and people were enamoured with life ending and eternal life. I can't put my finger on it, but when i listen to 90s music, there is a soul to it i don't find with anything else.
I was 8 when this came out. We had moved from Florida to England for my dads job and lived there for a year. My dad LOVED this song when we were living over there and used to play it for us all the time. I’m 30 now and still have great memories of our time over there.
I was 20 years old and finally gotten out of an extremely abusive relationship, and I played this song on repeat because it truly made me feel everything was going to be alright. Thanks Shawn 😊
Who’s listening to this song September 6 of 2024❤ I’m absolutely digging this song right now I’m listening to it at 9 o’clock. Anybody else listening to this rock-a-bye?❤
I'm 29, and I feel old. I _know_ that I'm old. People tell me, oh, no, you're still young, but I just brush it off. They say you're only as old as you feel. Well, I feel old. This song, and the genre of watered-down Alt-Rock it represents, is as foreign to contemporary music like Taylor Swift and One Direction as Donna Summer and Talking Heads were to it. It takes me back to Middle-School, riding on the bus and pretending that I didn't like it. Same for Tal Bachman's "She's So High", which not coincidentally, is the next thing on the Recommended feed. Kids would listen to this and decry it as "Old People Music", same as my peers did with 70's music. The feed to right of this comment is like a trip to my childhood; "Save Tonight", "Steal My Sunshine", "Truly Madly Deeply", "One Headlight". It's all gone, lost to the past, to the sands of time. The world we grew up in in the 90's was swept away. I think that always happens to one degree or another, but between the War on Terror and the rise of the Internet, I think ours was more swept away than most. I sometimes feel like a refugee of another time. I have what the Japanese call Mono no Aware; a wistfulness at the impermanence of things. And it already seems like I've seen so much pass. Yet they tell me I'm still young... If indeed I make it to old age, I'm not sure how I'll deal.
I'm having trouble listening to one of my favorite genres now, Alternative. Too much "wooo wooo woo" not enough guitar. No substance. There was a time, between 1995 and 2002 (actually most of the 90s, peaking between 1997 and 2001) when most of the hit songs had structure and some sort of substance, a good chorus, made you feel good, while telling a good story, or expressing something. Now the Pop and Alternative, a lot of it is just a bunch of synth noise. I don't feel like I should be feeling like this, I'm not even 30 yet (28) but every year it seems to get worse. I thought things were bad in 2003, but at least there was a few good songs even back then.
I'll never forget road trips with my friends, flipping channels to catch this, our favorite song on the car radio. This before internet radio, or cell phones could bring up any music you wanted at will. Elated to find it, we would all sing at the top of our lungs. It's crazy that we gauged the times and seasons in our lives by the few months of radio airplay, back then.
'Even her smile looks like a frown'...this gets me smiling in return every time I listen to this masterpiece, after all, everything is gonna be alright!
Absolutely! Also " Closing Time" by Semisonic " Save Tonight" by Eagle Eye Cherry and " Bitter Sweet Symphony" by the Verve, my favorite songs of 1998, and my favorite year of the 90's!
in 1998 i was 15 i use to walk my golden retriever around the subdivision at midnight singing this song out loud with my headphones on, all the houses were in darkness all was silent, little did i know there was a girl 2 streets over that use to wait up for me to come walking by and listen to me sing, one day she told me at the bus stop and i got so embarrassed, then she told me it was the best part of her day, and a couple other girls admitted to listening to me to, i had fans and i never even knew it, we ended up being togeather for 6 years.
I am so fortunate to have been born at a time when I could experience the decades of popular music I have heard over the years. Beginning with the sixties and now currently. I have seen it change with the generations that remember the songs from their youth. Every decade has it's favorites. Every generation has a marker in time based on the songs they heard. One thing is certain, and true for myself, you don't appreciate what you are hearing at that time as much as you do now.
I was in the end of my teens in 1998.. and dating two girls, who I loved both in different ways. This song makes me think of those days, Los Angeles, driving many, many miles.. finding my own niche in this world and finally not wanting to be anywhere else. That kind of comfort is so truly priceless.
This was a banger in the late 90s. It's still epic to this day. Proves that God made the world for the music. God doesn't care about anything else in the world, just the music.
I was abused by a family member for a vast majority of my life. When I was old enough to know what they were doing was wrong, they'd try to sneak in while I was sleeping to do it. I used to watch for our kitchen lights through the vents of our ac hoping they would stay on long enough for me to get at least a little rest before I had to wake up and fend this family member off. My mother had given me this old radio that was a bit hard to tune and a bit clunky, but I loved it because she'd given it to me. I was 12 when this song came out and I'd always tear up when I heard it start to play. While I have never lived in Hollywood, it was nice to think I might have friends who thought I was pretty...and by the time the chorus hit, it was like Mr. Mullins was speaking to me directly- letting me know this wasn't a night I needed to worry about being woken up or finding...things they brought in under my bed the next morning. I'd snuggle into my bed a little harder and usually fall asleep with tears still streaming down my face. It didn't stop for another 3 years and had been going on for so long that I didn't know of a life without fear. His voice truly convinced me that everything was gonna be alright.
@@dereld17 I see a trauma therapist once a week and a psychiatrist every six months. I pray, meditate, write, do reiki, and sound therapy daily. I'm not in a perfect spot, but as it turns out, Mr. Mullins was entirely right: that family member is in prison now for semi-related offenses, which gave me the courage to come forward. I hold no contempt, I don't wish revenge. I want this person to go to a facility where they can be put through psych testing and we can learn what makes people turn out that way. I want p*dophilia to be an offense like cannibalism: a shameful lust for flesh far, far removed from modern times. Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time out of your day to type them. May you have a lovely day, week, year, and life, and may God hold you in the palm of His hand ❤️
She grew up with the children of the stars In the Hollywood hills and the boulevards Her parents threw big parties Everyone was there They hung out with folks like Dennis Hopper and Bob Seger and Sonny and Cher She feels safe now in this bar on Fairfax And from the stage I can tell that she can't let go and she can't Relax And just before she hangs her head to cry I sing to her a lullaby I sing: Everything's gonna be all right Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye Everything's gonna be all right Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye She still lives with her mom outside the city Down that street about a half a mile And all her friends tell her she's so pretty But she'd be a whole lot prettier if she smiled once in a while 'Cause even her smile looks like a frown She's seen her share of devils in this angel town Everything's gonna be all right Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye Everything's gonna be all right Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye I told her I ain't so sure about this place It's hard to play a gig in this town and keep a straight face Seems like everybody's got a plan It's kind of like Nashville with a tan Everything's gonna be all right Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye Everything's gonna be all right Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye
That God damned Laraviee acoustic makes this song for me. Spent about three and a half hours trying to decide between a Martin composite and the Laraviee. At this point, I don't know... maybe it was the D'addario EJ17 strings, but that "no name", hand crafted piece of art made me a life-long fan.
My "friends" tried to convince me to pick the Martin composite based on the name alone *"it's a Martin!!!"* And, I was like.. _*...can you FEEL the resonance of the Laraviee!?"
I wanna go back. No one staring their phones, every genre of music was good, people were WAY more accepting of each other and we weren’t bombarded with -ISMs. Life was simple and enjoyable now everything just sucks
These are the end times. It's gonna get worse. There is still Hope and time to get saved! John 3:16-17 (KJV) 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. Isaiah 1:18 (KJV) Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. 2 Peter 3:9 (KJV) The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Romans 10:13 (KJV) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
I was pregnant and on my journey to being a single mom when this song came out. It was a great comfort during that time. It still is whenever I am down.
Grew up in the 80's, and love 80's music more, but every single time things go wrong with life this song goes into my head. I then feel much better as it reminds me things will just get better....
As a teen I spent years in a fairly traumatizing Psychiatric group home, my parents gave me up. My roommate used to sing this to me when I was scared and we were falling asleep. A small act of kindness that still makes me loved when I hear it 20 years later.

Maybe its wierdly a reference to the book when bill mentioned something about mabel and dippers parents arguing and possibly divorcing?
The start of the song is the beats in reverse, there is no message in it but maybe the clue is just "reverse"?

If you were born in 88, you would been 10 years old as this song came out in 1998. I was in high school, was junior year when I heard this.
1998
I fell in love with this song when it came out. The nostalgia makes me wanna cry. Brings back so many memories from a time when things were so simple.
You comment is exactly how i feel . I miss the 90’s . I miss being young . I want to go back to the 90’s . Best years our life !!! Makes me cry to

Coolest 90s song ever.
Time 10:20AM Thurs 7/23/20
Rediscovered this masterpiece recently. Lost my partner to brain cancer in 2010, but I still dream about playing this for her again one day.
It was '98 or '99. My friends and I were in high school, and unpacking in our hotel room at a convention. The beds had this odd built-in radio between them. I remember folding clothes and listening to this song through the old speakers. I remember the anticipation of meeting the beautiful girl I only got to see a couple times a year at those conventions. I remember being young, with everything ahead of me. That's a moment I'd revisit in a heartbeat.
Mate, thanks for sharing this memory!
Mid 90s to early 2000s had the best alternative rock hits
Haven't heard this tune in like 15 years and it just showed up, swirling around in my brain. So here I am
Two years ago for me and I haven't stopped listening to it since.

The 90’s was definitely something special for music. Reading everyone’s comments and being able to relate to all of them in some form of way, makes me believe that we’re all sharing and reminiscing on similar memories.

That title belongs to the #80s!
This song seems both comforting yet sorrowful at the same time. The music video really emphasizes that, too!
uh huh.
A college friend of mine, then the head of a major broadcasting company in Munich, brought this song back to Germany from a trip to the U.S. and had his DJs play it. It became a huge hit. A little later, the station brought Shawn in for a few smaller concerts. I saw him and his stunning band in Munich: they were awesome. Nothing came of Shawn's international career, probably because he was a rather introverted shy man, at least at that time. He was all about the music, never about the whole business. From the meet and greet I remember him as a very nice, polite, modest guy. I think he's still active in the club scene in and around.
He's a Munchen kinder now! 😊
Usually one hit wonders type artists are the ones who refused to sell their souls ❤
That's somewhat true. Another interesting things about this time is that there was a huge push throughout the industry to find new alternative bands to turn into the next big time--a lot of them appeared for a song or so, haha
He’s probably better off not having been mega-famous.
Anyone Else get here from the soos quote on the Book of Bill website?
yoooooooooooo
I still love this song. I miss the 90's.
I’ll say it again, the 90’s was the last decade of great music 🎶
I have had his voice stuck in my head for five years and couldn't find this song until now I am the happiest man on earth.
Yeah , I quoted the chorus to google thank goodness im hearing it now =))
I'm so happy for you-- it came to me today randomly and I feel your joy
Good for you dude!!!
3:23 this part is one of most mesmerising, relaxing, calmest and comfortable moments in any song I know
Instant calm from anxiety
90' music had a way of healing from messed up youth filled with some sort of abuse that scars so many people sadly today's music couldn't heal a upset stomach
Angsty 90s kids turned to music, angsty 20s kids turn to tiktok and twitter 😩 yikes...
So very true. There were so many addressing abuse, drug addiction, lonliness, etc.
1998 was a traumatic year for me and my family. So when this song came out it was perfect timing for me personally. All I wanted was to hear was that everything was going to be OK. I've listened to it a lot over the last 24 years. Love it!
Gravity falls fandom just be coming to search for clues
XD absolutely yea
Que es eso?
Imagine growing up in a time when they made good music like this. Priceless.
It wasn't just in one genre either, it was all of them. When artist and producers would have sessions together. They really came up with the most experimental and captivating sounds that just pulled every inch of the soul. That was my type of music.
I think that's what it takes to have a timeless masterpiece.
I love how this song is a story.
I love Shawn Mullin's voice.
I love this video.
I love how my memories of the 1990's flood back when I listen to this..
Me too. Beautiful song. I love the 90s so much.
Love was so intense, I remember mtv on full blast listening to this waiting by the home phone for a call
The whole cd is good.
I love beer! 😂
This is why I love his lyrics. They are clear and tell a story. His velvety calming voice is memorizing. Can't wait to see him in CA in September. I'm from the UK and have waited decades for this moment.
Okay maybe I should sue Shawn Mullins for breach of contract? He promised me everything was going to be alright.
AWESOME SONG
I'm with you on that.
Lol
that's because it is my dear.
@Billie Jo also said that all he really knows is that they dont really care about us.
What is it MJ, wtf is the deal here.
Love it! lol
" She's seen alot of devils in this angel town"....great lyric
And we're seeing more nowadays.
I know isn't that line just so true....
anyone here from gravity falls?
Unfortunately yes
Yess me too, thought it maybe was a clue
Yep
Yes
The next code is something of stars
Shawn was a late 1990's hero....lets keep his VEVO going for him. He spent alot of time in dive bars building his career, so give him a like, it may make him a dollar. I really like all of Shawn's stuffl.
Thanks.. Shawn 🙄
because he needs money lol.
Shouts out to you if your here trying to make it through a depressive bender. I’m here with you and I know what you’re going through
I needed this. Thanks.
@@omgleah you’re welcome I hope you’re doing better
Ahhh missed this song. Makes me wanna have a cold beer in the middle of the week. Missed the 90's man
Yep having a cold beer on a Wednesday 2024 listening to this song from the 90s
I love this song. It's calming when nothing else works 💜
You have got this 👍
That is what I used it for when it came out. I heard it on Sirius Radio today. So here I am listgening again. This really saves me when life feels like it is falling apart.
You can't get music like this these days. Whether you like it or not you've got to admit that the 90s had some of THE GREATEST songs of the era
the 90's were awesome but there is still plenty of decent music coming out. Thing is now,you have to look for it.
If you want music from actual instruments and story telling of your personal history and your traumas to be pacified, found it 😋🐱
Beabadoobee... Check her out
90s is what brought all the new genres to date! Nothing beats the 90s as far as exploration and new beginnings of music. Today's music doesn't have that genre bending and new beginnings.
survivorship bias
"I can't Think. I need more Mullins"
+Mike Rundle MICHAEL SCOTT FROM DUNDER STIFFLIN!
that's exactly why I'm here
+Lauren Griffin oh god me too.
That brought me here lol
... lol ..yup
They play this at my job. I take it as a sign to keep going on no matter what. It helped me through my childhood. I had an abusive father. This song gave me hope. It still does.
Love you Ash.
I went through something similar. Now my father's dead. We've seen our share of devils, Ash. Hold your head up high. Everything's gonna be alright..
This is not just a one hit wonder... It's a little piece of heaven for all those going through $h!t storms...
When my wife and I were first married and pregnant with our first child we thought my wife was going into preterm labor. She called me while I was at work panicked and I told her I would head home and take her to the hospital. On my way home I was getting pretty worked up and this song started playing on the radio. Made me a bit more emotional, but I somehow knew deep down things would be alright. 15 years later my daughter is doing well and learning to drive. She's a pain in the butt, but I love her.
Needed to hear this tonight. one of those nights where the tears just won't stop and you have no one to talk to let alone understand. Music helps soothes the soul ♥
That is me, tonight. I hope you're doing better, by now. Much love from this stranger who came to the same song for a sense of comfort and release. All the best to you. 🙏💞
Sending you many hugs and love your direction ♥ I'm not doing much better, but I do feel better knowing that I am not alone ♥@@bluedropsofglass5957
It sure does. Hope you find peace.
I have to listen to this song whenever I'm going through difficult times in my life. I tell myself, everything is gonna be alright. Not to mention, the nostalgic feeling it gives me is heart warming.
1998, I was in 4th grade. I called into the local radio station after my parents went to sleep to request this song. I sat with my cassette ready to record. It was too late, I fell asleep. I woke up in the middle of Lullaby, sad I couldn't record it, happy I could still hear the rest of the song.
Story of my life-- hoping u r well and sending good vibes
God damn.
I had completely forgotten about this song until I heard about it at a bar a few nights ago.
Man, the 90's were awesome.
God did not curse it...
I normally don't share my most personal stories with anyone except those closest to me, which are getting fewer and farther between these days. However, I do feel the need to share this.
This song started hitting the airwaves around the time of my parents' divorce. I was 11 years old and felt overwhelmed by the changing circumstances. I felt that I had to come to terms with so many things in a short time. The music of the time was one of the few constants in my life, and this song stuck out to me lyrically, and I listened to it regularly, making those weekends with my drunken, abusive mother slightly more bearable.
At the time, I tried taking the refrain to heart, but I spent the next five years lashing out at the world. However, I have been harkening back to that as the years have gone.
Looking back, while the events of the time still stress me out, I'm at least glad that I was able to experience and appreciate the zeitgeist that was the 1990s.
You should be a writer. That was very well written and thank you for sharing your story
@@troywheaton5535 no Troy, it's YOU! Who should be the writer. That comment touched me man respect. Follow your dreams Troy
Oddly a similar experience in the same time frame. I hope you are well. And if not sending love and light your way.
Thank you for sharing made me emotional as I went through the same at the same age & time too.❤
this song stuck out to me lyrically....Me too. Thanks for sharing. 'She feels safe in this bar on Fairfax.'
This song peaked #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1999
Gorgeous melodic voice, and WOW what a storyteller. 2023, and this song still sounds timeless and amazing, which is truly the mark of a great song.
This song takes me back when my wife and I were living in our first apartment that we lived in while we finished up college. It was cramped, the neighbors were jerks, and we had one tiny window air conditioner for the whole place....but we were happy. My how the years have gone by, haha:-)
I was a kid living in a small condo with my mom and brother while my dad was gone a lot for work. We made best friends with neighbor kids and had a blast with them. Everyone at school was super sweet to me even though I had an accent and developmental disorder. '98 was a fabulous year :).
I can't think. I need more Mullins.
This song is so underrated
agree....
I was born in 1987 and the rock music in the 90’s was awesome. Lots of great tunes and one hit wonders. 90’s was a great decade
I remember the first time I heard this song I was blown away, The lyrics felt as if he knew me, and the song could have been written about my life, right down to the Los Angeles locations he mentions. That's the mark of an incredible storyteller. Watching the video now, two decades later, I still recognize the girl I was in the past - although she bares no resemblance to who I am now. We all grow up and move on, and for the most part, become who we were meant to be. Mad respect for Shawn Mullins. Such wonderful music!
One of the best lines in a song ever... "she'd be a whole lot prettier if she smiled once in awhile".. Love this ballad.
this song brings me to tears i dont know why,i think its beautiful !
Join the club
I hope Shawn has another hit, because this is such a great song . So descriptive of the feelings this time in life. Thank you for this song
Thank you for highlighting my humble comment. 😇🌿❤💙😇🌿❤💙😇🌿❤💙😇🌿❤💙😇🌿❤💙😇🌿❤💙😇🌿❤💙😇🌿❤💙😇🌿❤💙😇🌿❤💙😇🌿❤💙😇🌿❤💙😇🌿❤💙😇🌿❤💙
Check the rest of this album out it is pretty amazing. You will not be disappointed
Dennis Hopper and Bob Seager and Sonny and Cher...EPIC
i love you momma in heaven,,you always told me everything is going to be all right....i miss you my best friend,,its so hard without you,,,have fun in HEAVEN,,,and oh..rock a bye bye.
That lyric "She's seen her share of devils in this Angel-town" wow, that had so many layers of meaning it's wonderfully poetic, very
With Los Angeles being a center point...
Such a cool song. Reminds me of our glory years in the '80s & 90's - which we can all share:)
2020, still listening! ha!
3two1zero hell yeah
Oh yeahhh
Yep me too
3two1zero yes!!! 🙋🏽♀️
2021
ANOTHER 90s song I forgot GAHHH!!! Bring the 90s back!
this song deserves more views!!!
Story of my life. Everything is gonna be alright. And I truly believe it will. BTW - I truly miss the 90’s. A very underrated decade that had lots of musical gems!
why does soos reference this song hm
this was my dads favourite cd when i was growing up. i can remeber so vividly driving up to huntsville, Ontario Canada when i was like 7 or 8. My dad threw this cd in the old cd player in his '94 ram and I enjoyed it so much - as a young boy. Today i'm 27. I have never stopped listening to this album throughout my 20's. All the songs start to mean so much more to you as you age. I think my dad connected with these songs on a personal level, almost like he left a story for me. I love you so much dad.
Same. My dad had a 97’ ram and we would play this song on a road trip together. Those were great times together.
@@Catinthehat788 To our dads 🍻
When life was fun and the tunes were amazing! This was my song in 1998! Time flies by fast unfortunately! Miss my mom! RIP mom! 🙏🏻 ❤️🙏🏻
One of the most underrated albums of the century. I still listen to the whole thing top to bottom
Being one who grew up and became an adult in the 90's it felt different, we just embraced our time. Perhaps it's the same. but we were coming to the end of the century and people were enamoured with life ending and eternal life. I can't put my finger on it, but when i listen to 90s music, there is a soul to it i don't find with anything else.
I was 8 when this came out. We had moved from Florida to England for my dads job and lived there for a year. My dad LOVED this song when we were living over there and used to play it for us all the time. I’m 30 now and still have great memories of our time over there.
Listening to this makes me miss everything about 90s..Good ol' days☺️
Damn I miss those emotional years so much❤ 2024
This song again shows why the 90's was the best time for all genres of music, hands down!
bill?
I was 20 years old and finally gotten out of an extremely abusive relationship, and I played this song on repeat because it truly made me feel everything was going to be alright. Thanks Shawn 😊
Who’s listening to this song September 6 of 2024❤ I’m absolutely digging this song right now I’m listening to it at 9 o’clock. Anybody else listening to this rock-a-bye?❤
I miss the late 90's :(
I miss All the 90s
I'm 29, and I feel old. I _know_ that I'm old. People tell me, oh, no, you're still young, but I just brush it off. They say you're only as old as you feel. Well, I feel old. This song, and the genre of watered-down Alt-Rock it represents, is as foreign to contemporary music like Taylor Swift and One Direction as Donna Summer and Talking Heads were to it. It takes me back to Middle-School, riding on the bus and pretending that I didn't like it. Same for Tal Bachman's "She's So High", which not coincidentally, is the next thing on the Recommended feed. Kids would listen to this and decry it as "Old People Music", same as my peers did with 70's music.
The feed to right of this comment is like a trip to my childhood; "Save Tonight", "Steal My Sunshine", "Truly Madly Deeply", "One Headlight". It's all gone, lost to the past, to the sands of time. The world we grew up in in the 90's was swept away. I think that always happens to one degree or another, but between the War on Terror and the rise of the Internet, I think ours was more swept away than most. I sometimes feel like a refugee of another time. I have what the Japanese call Mono no Aware; a wistfulness at the impermanence of things. And it already seems like I've seen so much pass. Yet they tell me I'm still young...
If indeed I make it to old age, I'm not sure how I'll deal.
Same feeling here. I'm 28.
***** Agreed. They abuse the synthesizer too much, nowadays.
I'm 28 and the nostalgia eats at me. This song is one of the anthems of my childhood. I miss those days so much.
+Harry Krinkle I'm only 21 and I feel the same way. All of those songs are my favorites. I love 90s music
I'm having trouble listening to one of my favorite genres now, Alternative. Too much "wooo wooo woo" not enough guitar. No substance. There was a time, between 1995 and 2002 (actually most of the 90s, peaking between 1997 and 2001) when most of the hit songs had structure and some sort of substance, a good chorus, made you feel good, while telling a good story, or expressing something. Now the Pop and Alternative, a lot of it is just a bunch of synth noise. I don't feel like I should be feeling like this, I'm not even 30 yet (28) but every year it seems to get worse. I thought things were bad in 2003, but at least there was a few good songs even back then.
I'll never forget road trips with my friends, flipping channels to catch this, our favorite song on the car radio. This before internet radio, or cell phones could bring up any music you wanted at will. Elated to find it, we would all sing at the top of our lungs. It's crazy that we gauged the times and seasons in our lives by the few months of radio airplay, back then.
Damn Travis you calling out my age bro!
Remember dial up jist to get online?
'Even her smile looks like a frown'...this gets me smiling in return every time I listen to this masterpiece, after all, everything is gonna be alright!
1998.
What a great music year!
Decade, mate, decade. >8^)
90's is a decade reference. 1998 is a year reference. But yeah, either way, every year within that decade pumped out some memorable tunes.
Absolutely! Also " Closing Time" by Semisonic " Save Tonight" by Eagle Eye Cherry and " Bitter Sweet Symphony" by the Verve, my favorite songs of 1998, and my favorite year of the 90's!
in 1998 i was 15 i use to walk my golden retriever around the subdivision at midnight singing this song out loud with my headphones on, all the houses were in darkness all was silent, little did i know there was a girl 2 streets over that use to wait up for me to come walking by and listen to me sing, one day she told me at the bus stop and i got so embarrassed, then she told me it was the best part of her day, and a couple other girls admitted to listening to me to, i had fans and i never even knew it, we ended up being togeather for 6 years.
thats a cool story man! very awesome song
thanks buddy, its all that comes to mind when i hear this tune.
yeah whenever I hear it I remember seeing the video the first time on vh1 like at the age of 11 :)
that made me cry happy tears. Thank you. :)
Kris Nordman thank you, glad i brightened someones day :)
I am so fortunate to have been born at a time when I could experience the decades of popular music I have heard over the years. Beginning with the sixties and now currently. I have seen it change with the generations that remember the songs from their youth. Every decade has it's favorites. Every generation has a marker in time based on the songs they heard. One thing is certain, and true for myself, you don't appreciate what you are hearing at that time as much as you do now.
Man, this song brought so much comfort to my broken adolescent heart..
Heard this song when watching The Office. Michael Scott was sad in his office listening to it x'D
Life'sWhatever Micheal scott
Bakaray Guilbeaux, Life'sWhatever is right. Just looked it up, and it's "ae", not "ea".
I was in the end of my teens in 1998.. and dating two girls, who I loved both in different ways. This song makes me think of those days, Los Angeles, driving many, many miles.. finding my own niche in this world and finally not wanting to be anywhere else.
That kind of comfort is so truly priceless.
One of the best 90s one-hit-wonders ever. Barely remember this song coming out as I was very young but my mom loved it and it was on the radio a lot.
This was a banger in the late 90s. It's still epic to this day. Proves that God made the world for the music. God doesn't care about anything else in the world, just the music.
I was abused by a family member for a vast majority of my life. When I was old enough to know what they were doing was wrong, they'd try to sneak in while I was sleeping to do it. I used to watch for our kitchen lights through the vents of our ac hoping they would stay on long enough for me to get at least a little rest before I had to wake up and fend this family member off. My mother had given me this old radio that was a bit hard to tune and a bit clunky, but I loved it because she'd given it to me. I was 12 when this song came out and I'd always tear up when I heard it start to play. While I have never lived in Hollywood, it was nice to think I might have friends who thought I was pretty...and by the time the chorus hit, it was like Mr. Mullins was speaking to me directly- letting me know this wasn't a night I needed to worry about being woken up or finding...things they brought in under my bed the next morning. I'd snuggle into my bed a little harder and usually fall asleep with tears still streaming down my face. It didn't stop for another 3 years and had been going on for so long that I didn't know of a life without fear. His voice truly convinced me that everything was gonna be alright.
That is alot to deal with I sure hope you are okay now ....
@@dereld17 I see a trauma therapist once a week and a psychiatrist every six months. I pray, meditate, write, do reiki, and sound therapy daily. I'm not in a perfect spot, but as it turns out, Mr. Mullins was entirely right: that family member is in prison now for semi-related offenses, which gave me the courage to come forward. I hold no contempt, I don't wish revenge. I want this person to go to a facility where they can be put through psych testing and we can learn what makes people turn out that way. I want p*dophilia to be an offense like cannibalism: a shameful lust for flesh far, far removed from modern times. Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time out of your day to type them. May you have a lovely day, week, year, and life, and may God hold you in the palm of His hand ❤️
Bless your heart! Glad to know things are better now, you are strong and amazing, believe in yourself!
@@laineehumphrey9915 Thank you kindly 😀
She grew up with the children of the stars
In the Hollywood hills and the boulevards
Her parents threw big parties
Everyone was there
They hung out with folks like Dennis Hopper and Bob Seger and
Sonny and Cher
She feels safe now in this bar on Fairfax
And from the stage I can tell that she can't let go and she can't
Relax
And just before she hangs her head to cry
I sing to her a lullaby
I sing:
Everything's gonna be all right
Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye
Everything's gonna be all right
Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye
She still lives with her mom outside the city
Down that street about a half a mile
And all her friends tell her she's so pretty
But she'd be a whole lot prettier if she smiled once in a while
'Cause even her smile looks like a frown
She's seen her share of devils in this angel town
Everything's gonna be all right
Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye
Everything's gonna be all right
Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye
I told her I ain't so sure about this place
It's hard to play a gig in this town and keep a straight face
Seems like everybody's got a plan
It's kind of like Nashville with a tan
Everything's gonna be all right
Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye
Everything's gonna be all right
Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye
What are you doing down here? You should be at the top.
Thankyou for taking the time to share the lyrics, helped me to enjoy the song way more, hearing impaired so really appreciated :-)
Does anyone else think those lyrics imply her parents neglected her? Always partying and throwing big parties to impress the celebs.
Best lyrics EVER!
@Sharon Jensen OH! So Bob Seger and Sonny and Cher ain't cool?

That God damned Laraviee acoustic makes this song for me.
Spent about three and a half hours trying to decide between a Martin composite and the Laraviee. At this point, I don't know... maybe it was the D'addario EJ17 strings, but that "no name", hand crafted piece of art made me a life-long fan.
My "friends" tried to convince me to pick the Martin composite based on the name alone *"it's a Martin!!!"*
And, I was like.. _*...can you FEEL the resonance of the Laraviee!?"
This song played on the radio today. It was comforting. I needed to hear this.
I wanna go back. No one staring their phones, every genre of music was good, people were WAY more accepting of each other and we weren’t bombarded with -ISMs. Life was simple and enjoyable now everything just sucks
These are the end times. It's gonna get worse.
There is still Hope and time to get saved!
John 3:16-17 (KJV)
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world;
but that the world through him might be saved.
Isaiah 1:18 (KJV)
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord:
though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;
though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
2 Peter 3:9 (KJV)
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise,
as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward,
not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Romans 10:13 (KJV)
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
I was pregnant and on my journey to being a single mom when this song came out. It was a great comfort during that time. It still is whenever I am down.
Heard it first played in the airwaves late '98 and still returns to listening to it on 2024. Lyrics hit deeper when you're older.
Grew up in the 80's, and love 80's music more, but every single time things go wrong with life this song goes into my head. I then feel much better as it reminds me things will just get better....
98 was the worst year of my life. But I loved this song.
20 or so years since I heard this song. Just starting high school, falling asleep to songs like this on the radio…simpler times.
Hard hitting nostalgia right here
