In our 2015 interview with lead singer Stephan Jenkins, he described this song as "a noir about a guy who jumped off a bridge and killed himself because he was gay," adding, "It was really about bullying."
Netflix just added Yes man and I re watched it for the first time since it came out on theaters. Made me remember how much I love this song, fucking legendary. Keep you heads up kiddos ✊🏽
I busk often (performing in public for tips, in my case, acoustic guitar and singing), and I've had this song requested literally a dozen times in a night, three of which were from the same person (I probably spent a good ten minutes that night explaining to the guy that I didn't know the song), so I think it's about time I learn this.
@@roebucksummers8614 I learned it, only to discover that none of the people requesting it knew or cared about anything after the intro-chorus. It’s still fun to belt, though.
The lead singer of this band is still alive... Stephan Jenkins has said that the song came from a story 3EB's manager told them about a guy that was a friend of his in highschool who was gay. Being gay wasn't accepted where he lived and the guy ended up committing suicide because of it. The song is also about difficult experiences Stephan went through during his childhood.
Love this song... Jim Carrey has messed it up for me, I always hold the notes to long when I sing it, lol. I feel like he should've actually recorded a cover though!
Yes! When I heard it the first time that's exactly what it reminded me of. It's really the same 'theme' I guess, and they sound pretty similar on an acoustic guitar as well.
almost... i love this type of music, and play guitar so i like learnign these songs.. but ur right i didnt no that band until i saw Yes Man. this song is great.
Stephan wqas one of the best things to happen to the 90's, he was truly unique in his style and lyricsm. He deserves our respect regardless off what he songs like live. If he thought like you maybe "3eb" and "blue" albums, would never have been written. And i can't even begin to think how unfortunate it would be if he never graced the music industry. Cheers.
It's popular because it was playing on the radio all the time when it was released and still is played... This song wouldn't have even been in that movie if 3eb hadn't made it what it is.
I almost feel wierd commenting about this. This is a great song, however Jim Carrie's "cover" in Yes Man makes me sing and shed a tear EVERY TIME I see it.
Don't hate the movie. As a fan you should be happy that there are people actually becoming fans of Third Eye Blind. I know I have heard people do songs by artists I've never heard before and it made me want to look at all the music that artist has done. So, stop knocking the fans of Yes, Man. You should be jumping for joy that Third Eye Blind has more fans because of that movie.
Jim is a great actor. Jut when he sings it- it is to happy to represent the meaning of this song. To stop someone from committing suicide would not be pleasurable.

@@christianfernandez3374 I didn't know it was underrated. It is such a great movie! Everyone should watch it.
this is the song that saved my life more than once
Hope you're still around and okay ❤️
Bud you here 10 years later?
One of the best songs ever.
Killer performance. I don't know what music would be like for me if it weren't for the 90's.
Amen

The drums in this song are great, Its really put together. I love it.
AOL !! Haven’t heard anything about that in a Long Time!!!!!😳. Great performance!!!
Netflix just added Yes man and I re watched it for the first time since it came out on theaters. Made me remember how much I love this song, fucking legendary. Keep you heads up kiddos ✊🏽
I’m about to watch it on Netflix, seen the preview and made me want to listen to this song lol🤪
Everyone's got to face down the demons
Maybe today
We can put the past away
jenkins is always phenomenal but hands down, drummer's the chillest dude here
Music is so beautiful what an awesome way to connect with your friends, express yourselves, higher frequency stuff than our everyday lives
Really important and helpful. Tears in my eyes as I realize how lucky I am to be here. Life is important, hold on, and help someone.
I absolutely love this song
its just plain awsome
This is a really meaningful song.
I really dig his chorus turnarounds. Very nice
That drummer is on point, makes the song.

So how did it go for you?

@@herby190 Good to know that. Stay safe buddy.
this song gives me the chills
i really loooove this song!!!.. amazing version!
best acoustic I've seen in a while... great
I Really Love This Acoustic Version...I Think It's Better Than The Album Version...
The lead singer of this band is still alive...

*AWESOME!*
i like this song.. two thumbs up for this perf. love 3eb =)
Yes Man!
false. just cuz he didnt sing it in the exact same way as the album version doesnt mean it was terrible he didnt miss one note! he sang it great
god.
they're so amazing.
and so is this song.
this song takes me back to my childhood and i love it
Fucking fantastic song. Always loved 3EB, even though I have trouble understanding 80% of the lyrics in their songs... Haha. Great band.
the smirk at 2:45 hahaha
Really good. Nice to hear this version
Awesome song! definitely their best song!
Remember when AOL was a thing? Lol
breon johnson What's AOL?
Still is.
Love this song... Jim Carrey has messed it up for me, I always hold the notes to long when I sing it, lol. I feel like he should've actually recorded a cover though!
Best comment on anything ever.
Great song, great music, great band!
I love them!
if jim carrey made an acoustic mix to this like he did in yes man i would listen to it.
He's just singing lower notes. They are still on key though.
you're a legend, brilliant post!
Great song! :) good on ya third eye blind!!! i will have to watch yes man now :)
Needs more Luis Guzman
Would be much better if Jenkins didn’t screw over Original Guitarist Kevin Cadogan
yuup! got lil chills.
Perfect!!
Really nice song...but it's true that the Jim Carrey really nailed it!
I wish you would step back from that mic my friend
Super Song and Super Scene cannot afford to miss it
Yes! When I heard it the first time that's exactly what it reminded me of. It's really the same 'theme' I guess, and they sound pretty similar on an acoustic guitar as well.
It makes me sad that I would rather listen Jim Carrey sing it 😂😂😂😥😭
Definitely a classic
That Gibson SJ looks fantastic
almost...
i love this type of music, and play guitar so i like learnign these songs..
but ur right i didnt no that band until i saw Yes Man.

An awesome video! I fav'd it!
i second this!
I enjoyed this
Thank You! I agree completely... remember this is an ACOUSTIC version meaning its different and he still rocks it.
Yes man reminded me that i love this song to! i love this song it so old though! it was made is 1998. lol 11 years
Agree.
Today, and it has been like that for awhile, jazz is THE genre which requires the most talent and skill.
looove.
totally cool song...respect third eye blind
This is such a fun and easy song to play on guitar...every guitar player should learn it
YES MAN!
HE HAS THE VOICE OF AN ANGEL!!!!
It doesnt matter whos better. You have to give respect to the original artist. And respect to Carrey for doing it justice
@theolympialowlife cheers for that soul stirring lecture mate
this song saves lives.... thats all i got to say about that
amazing
Yes!
Muiitoo show ! \o/
Heard it on Yes Man! LOVE IT NOW
sounded good. i liked the ending.......they harmonized pretty good. i liked it.
LoVEEEEE!!!!!!
The song is very good!
totally agree, whoever didn't know this song before the movie doesn't deserve to listen to it.
Those vocals of Stephan Jenkins! That was great! 3:32
This is a tune! One of the best parts of Yes Man :D
yes man!!!!!!
good stuff!
awesome ;D
he so does!
i wish i could play and sing like this man it would be so fun
i like the harmony at the end
It's popular because it was playing on the radio all the time when it was released and still is played...
This song wouldn't have even been in that movie if 3eb hadn't made it what it is.
I almost feel wierd commenting about this. This is a great song, however Jim Carrie's "cover" in Yes Man makes me sing and shed a tear EVERY TIME I see it.
Best band ever

......yes man
Well, I really liked it
Yeaaaaah
Yes man
totaly agree
This is one of the most beautiful versions I have ever heard of this song. Stephan's voice is arousing...well... not only his voice... :)

Jim is a great actor. Jut when he sings it- it is to happy to represent the meaning of this song. To stop someone from committing suicide would not be pleasurable.
