One of the most under rated songs period. This and Iris from the Goo Goo Dolls have always held a special place for me. And I grew up on The Clash, Siousxie, Black Flag and Dead Kennedys.
This is so BADASS. I used to work at a pizza place back in the day and I used to date one of the waitresses and when we would close for the night we would play the jukebox in the dining room and just hang out in one of the booths and talk way into the night. I would ALWAYS put this song as one of my selections. Love it. And love the video. Thanks.
I finally bought the album it was so rare to find thank God for Amazon being a thing because I bought bush sixteen stone Pearl jam ten two of the best albums in my opinion
“Often a man wishes to be alone and a girl wishes to be alone too and if they love each other they are jealous of that in each other, but I can truly say we never felt that. We could feel alone when we were together, alone against the others. But we were never lonely and never afraid when we were together.” ― Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms
Always makes me think of a girl from my past. The love is there, or was, or maybe will be. I dunno. Life is weird, man. This song makes me think of a beautiful dream you try to make yourself fall back asleep to catch, but you know you can’t. Even though the moment is gone, the dream is still a beautiful one.
His description of making love to her is one of the most poetic things i have heard in modern music. He uses the "alien" imagery to express how he feels they are the same, and don't belong anywhere but with each other. This is how you make music ladies and gentlemen.
Bush really hits home for me with this song. The lyrics, composition it is a timeless piece never heard on satellite or radio. I wish it was played publicly . Fills me every time I play it.
I have started listen Bush's songs since this afternoon and I am already in love with this song. I have listened that about ten times. It is amazing how a great song of fifteen years ago can exite so much even now. I am twenty year old, so I haven't lived the 90's years but with these songs I can still feel they. Wonderful.
beautiful video! my son is getting married in august and i want this song played for him and his wife to dance to. 20 some years ago i was watching tv and a new band called Bush had a video called "Everything Zen." My son was 10ish at the time and i grabbed him and had him watch it with me. we both have been avid Bush fans since! This is my first favorite love song next to Pearl Jam "Black."
Me & my son's story is similiar to yours. When we heard 10 we knew there was no his music and my music. It was our music. For the rest of his life we went to concerts together. Best times of my life. Sadly he passed at 34. But i still have our music.
"Be-long-ing" in the now, still... Today, 5 yrs later & your reply hit me HARD. I LOvE that. So much talk-talk & nothing notable is said. Not true of U, Olivavu! Your words, they have been heard, felt, & noted. Noted in my eather of time. THOSE WERE THE DAYS-Fearless, beauty, unaware of BEING YOUTHful. PS I hope you receive this message. Your words have moved me
If I could go back to 18 in that third floor bedroom with the only girl I ever loved with this song playing and our only light from the stereo - I would give anything to change the outcome. GREAT SONG!........
There's this girl I like. Ive known her my whole life, and Im 25 now. Shes always been the greatest friend anybody can ask for, and recently I began to have feelings for her. Shes the only person who knows everything about me, shes the only person who has been there when I needed a shoulder to lean on. I can literally tell her anything, everything, and I know I can count on her. As awesome as that is, it pains me to know Ill never truly be able to call her mine. She has dated this one guy, who sometimes doesnt even treat her right, for like 10 years, and now theyre engaged. Im happy for her, and him, and all I can do now is just be as good of a friend to her as shes been to me. I wish I could call her mine, and this song reminds me that maybe im just an alien to her. One day, someday, Ill find a girl half as great as her. Hopefully soon. Hopefully it could be her one day.
Sometimes they break your heart, but it's always the next one that changes everything. At 25, you still have two thirds of your life left (roughly) and in another ten years it will all be so different. I had one break mine, has three of our kids.. It will get much more complicated later on. Just remember that as bad as life is right now, it will probably get worse. And then we die. Sorry that I'm not very uplifting, just trying to be realistic. Life has its ups and downs, but it seems to have a lot more downs than ups. Me, I've just accepted that all I can do is blaze, flip the bird and say ftw. Nothing we do really matters anyway, right? Okay, enough of this pep talk, cheer up guy.
It's possible and likely she may have the same feelings. Let her know how you feel while this song plays in the background. It'll be like something straight out of a movie! xD. Very interesting comment btw on your take of how she sees you as "alien" like. Interesting...
Total Nostalgia. Recall in 99 taking a trip from NYC to North Carolina playing this song repeatedly while on a dark road. Lyrics, Gavin's Powerful Low Vioce. Subtle guitar and bass Tone was Definitely (OOTW) Out Of This World.
@@jeah1827, for you, maybe. This guy likes to smoke and listen to it. Doesn’t make him dumb. Just because it’s your opinion doesn’t mean it’s right and you get to shame others.
@@treycarter6736 Thank You Trey. I only smoke weed once in awhile. Meaning once every 4-5 months. So I'm not really a pothead. But also means that only a few hits and I'm on cloud nine. Weed is NOT a DRUG. The Schedule 1 listing on the Federal law lists is a joke...
You did a really nice job with that video, i like it, when i was 14 i discovered this song at the end of sixteen stone and used to get stoned and fantasize about the one i never got, bittersweet feeling but aging you made this visually pleasing.
Im probably insane cause when I listened to this song I felt it was a love story about two satellites circling this crazy planet and they only only cross paths at a certain time and only for a few moments... and that was all they could have. Yeah I’m insane
i love this but i'd really love to see an updated version of the video you put together. i feel like since this was 10 years ago the picture would be way better now with newer tech. maybe some even clearer universe images would be available. can't wait to see it if you do another!
This is a wonderful song with an equally wonderful put together set. I remember this song so fondly whilst my son was only 2 years old (he is now 16) just before his dad left us. But hey, things happen for a reason and we are far happier now than ever before. lol
Good video. That's always been my favorite song by Bush. Don't know why since they had so many other "more popular" tunes but that's my fav for sure. Good job dude!!!!
This is a song that my ex and I listened to alot. There's days I miss him and there's days I don't. I left him bc of to many problems, my heart still aches bc I know he's my soul mate 💔 I will NEVER stop loving him 🥲
Rui Sousa he still is a proper musician and this is a great song off a great album I've just learnt how to play this song on guitar . Btw I hope their next album goes back to that sixteen stone sound just a timeless album and so well written and produced cheers 🍻
Great job! Thanks for getting all the lyrics correct, so many don't. I'm so glad the band, BUSH, is back in action as of 2010 ! New music from them coming soon, be on the lookout if you can appreciate REAL music. February, 2011
Thank you for not letting me back out to night ,you made me laugh more then I have in long time.I can't stop thinking about you .If it had not been for this song ,I don't know if i would have had the nerve to kiss you .I hope you had a good time tonight and next time you pick the movie..
I think it is safe to say that we all know why George Bush really invaded Iraq and that is control of his oil supplies. If that is the case why did gas prices jump to almost 5 dollars a gallon back in 2005?

Probably the most underrated bush song that deserved more credit. This ballad is solid and for some reason just represents the 90s for me.
One of the most under rated songs period. This and Iris from the Goo Goo Dolls have always held a special place for me. And I grew up on The Clash, Siousxie, Black Flag and Dead Kennedys.
Bomb I think is off 16 stone or like 250 lbs in America ?
This is so BADASS.

I would ALWAYS put this song as one of my selections. Love it. And love the video. Thanks.
I enjoyed your story.
If you grew up in the 90's, Bush was one band you'll always remember. And if you know Bush, you remember this song. Probably the best off of 16 Stone.
David Repasky yass 1 of the best songs off sixteen stone
I finally bought the album it was so rare to find thank God for Amazon being a thing because I bought bush sixteen stone Pearl jam ten two of the best albums in my opinion
the last track on the album 💔
David Repasky it was my first CD mom ever bought me
i didn’t grow up in the 90s but i was brought up listening to 16 stone. gives me goosebumps
wow someone gave acknowledgement to bush alien im very impressed it was probably one of the best bush songs that never got enough credit
It's their best song.
agreed it is
Varden Longraf agree
Varden Longraf best bush song period
Varden Longraf totally agree 1 OF THE FN BEST OFF THIS ALBUM!!!
that opening bass line.... goosebumps everytime. It makes me feel like I'm floating in space and nothing else matters
Metallica
Check out Isabella of Castille by STRFKR. very similar feel.
MajestiC MoNa🙈🙉🙊💖💋💌💀
Indeed.. the opening is amazing.. this song hits me on so many different levels!!
Yep i love to play it on my bass myself
This song is so underrated. Not just in bush terms but music in general. I always thought this was the best song Gavin ever wrote.
one of the most underrated songs on this album.
you had to be a 90's rocker to even begin to understand this ,,this is good shit
Fucking ya
I am SO damn glad I lived the 90,s
nah you don't,I was a child back there and love this song.
@@mecasunny he said understand not love but OK
Grew up to this
Twenty years later and this song still gives me goosebumps.
Yep
What about 27 years later.. 🥹

Dallas Coryell yeah
+Dallas Coryell I agree. This is my favorite song by Bush, and it's because of the way its written. It fills my mind with beautiful images.
I want to play it louder!
Shame he didn't feel making love to Gwen was poetic.
Dallas Coryell I agree 100&
gavin rossdale has probably one of the most underrated voices of the 90's
AND EDDIE VEDDER
@@transquilichao3467 Eddie isn't underrated...
@@simonealbertini5580,
For that matter, neither is Rossdale's. He has a net worth of $45million. I think he passed "underrated" a couple million ago.
@@simonealbertini5580
you are right i read wrong
Your right, unique
'We aren't like anyone else and we belong together. In this moment. In this now.'
Olivavu does it even say that in this song?
Bush really hits home for me with this song. The lyrics, composition it is a timeless piece never heard on satellite or radio. I wish it was played publicly . Fills me every time I play it.
ALL LOVE PROPHECIES ARE BEING FULFILLED NOW!!🕊🌎🌍🌏🌍🌎🕊

+Pico Della mirandol I know what you say. Fuck off all I want to come back.
it was 20 years, though.
First CD i ever purchased when I was 12 back in 96. So nostalgic for me. This song hits me like 16 stones
CpnStbn12 couldn't agree more
I was 12 too. What a great year. I was also obsessed with Scream the movie when it came out. Bush and Scream were life haha
If you're an alien, I'm an alien.
Correct.
Your not alone 👽👾
¥es I am for real
I'm just waking up. I'm an alien
The gem of this album. Such a great song. All these years later...still goosebumps.
my favorite bush song, so beautiful
this
I can't decide between this and inflatable
ms schwartz both are incredible!
ms schwartz those are my two favorite too!!!!!!!!
I'll never forget you Christa K. First love
beautiful video! my son is getting married in august and i want this song played for him and his wife to dance to. 20 some years ago i was watching tv and a new band called Bush had a video called "Everything Zen."

I do too.
Same...man
Takes me back. I miss those days.
"Be-long-ing" in the now, still...
Today, 5 yrs later & your reply hit me HARD.
I LOvE that. So much talk-talk & nothing notable is said.

Oh, what a beautiful ride !!!!
my favorite song from bush, Underrated song...
So weird.... I was listening to this amazing song and started to feel the smell of rain.
Same LMAO
it's your tears
“Feel the smell of rain”... what?
Alien
It’s a beautiful rain
track 11 off the sixteen stone album, good track. solid raw rock track, which i like.
Man, I had just turned 14 when this album came out. Still one of my favorites!
I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH IT MAKES MY HEART STOP... THEN I HAVE 2 BREATH... LOL LISTENED 2 IT... WAS A SONG I NEEDED 2 HEAR. STILL DO!!
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL !!!! GREAT BAND !!!! I REMEMBER THEM WELL, SAW EM TOO IN CONCERT !!! GREAT SHOW.
If I could go back to 18 in that third floor bedroom with the only girl I ever loved with this song playing and our only light from the stereo - I would give anything to change the outcome. GREAT SONG!........
My favorite kiss of my existence was during this song. The light of the stereo and an electric moment. Bittersweet looking back.
wow that's a great memory
wow that's a great memory
That is very genuine to say. I wish you well!🥰🥰🥰
HAH! That's gay!
Dallas Coryell I couldn't agree more with you. One of the most romantic things and unbelievably poetic songs!
Damn I miss Bush wish they still made music
I play this over and over again I can't get enough of it!
One of the most beautiful lyrics, fan creation to one of my all time favorite beautiful songs!!!
Bush sixteen stone, one of my favorite album
"By the light of the stereo waltz" Does anyone remember that?
2020 , still EFFING AWESOME!!! Praying for the aliens to save us, lol.
This is Bush's finest hour right here, Such an amazing song. Song makes me feel like I'm floating on air.
I was in High School when this came out. Would burn and listen to this song thinking about a certain girl. Time Fly's.....Its a trip.
Wow been so long since I heard this 🥺👽❤️

Robert Berry Love your comment !
if u ever meet your twin soul, don't let go...
I have this song set as a ringtone for the most special girl i know. Love this song, this is some of the best work this band has done. #BushArmy4ever!
Flicker on the tv screen, eveythings more than it seems … wow time flies this is a great classic!
Discovered this song after I got dumped by my first girlfriend. Couple years down the line, here I am again.
Love this song.
Total Nostalgia.

That’s pretty touching
THIS IS ONE OF THEIR BEST SONGS PERIOD!!!❤️❤️❤️
Fn right. Im in high school again
Yeah
i'm glad i don't need weed to enjoy great music... try it
i love this but i'd really love to see an updated version of the video you put together. i feel like since this was 10 years ago the picture would be way better now with newer tech. maybe some even clearer universe images would be available. can't wait to see it if you do another!
When I was in Junior High in the 90's, I used to LOVE this album.
This was one of the songs, I would listen to in bed.
the most beautiful song i have heard and hear constantly in my soul without difference towards where i go
Oh, man. Very well done. Impressive, even. Chill bumps, the whole nine yards.
This is the Bush's best song, ever!
i bought this album when it first came out...love bush and bush hahahaha
Diving off to heaven into a picture perfect dream
One of my favorite ones on this album!!
When I'm forced to watch an advertisement before a video, a deep rage overwhelms my soul.
This is a wonderful song with an equally wonderful put together set. I remember this song so fondly whilst my son was only 2 years old (he is now 16) just before his dad left us. But hey, things happen for a reason and we are far happier now than ever before. lol
Greatest song ever made by the most enjoyable band ever.
This was my favorite ... soon will be my favorite again.
Hits me in the feels.
Loved the cosmic imagery. Definitely Bush's most timeless recording.
Best song on the whole album and the whole album is badass !
Good video. That's always been my favorite song by Bush. Don't know why since they had so many other "more popular" tunes but that's my fav for sure. Good job dude!!!!
Thanks for making this! Goosebumps
Got to see this live. 😭 Felt so lucky. #BellyUp #Aspen
I was 15 and this one was and is still a landmark.
SAVIOR! Thank God we still have an escape route! LOVE MY GAVIN!! ❤💖😘
This is the best lyrics video I have ever seen. Possibly one of the best videos I have ever seen. Thank you for this. I am subscribing.
One of my favorite tracks from 16 stone. With Comedown following closely. So many great songs and bands from the 90s.
Favorite song by Bush!
This is my all time favorite bush song, really surprised it didn't get radio play back in the day
Great video! Thanks so much. This song takes me to another place.....BUSH FAN SINCE 1999
Such a beautiful song
This is a song that my ex and I listened to alot. There's days I miss him and there's days I don't. I left him bc of to many problems, my heart still aches bc I know he's my soul mate 💔 I will NEVER stop loving him 🥲
That is a tough place to be! Strange how we can be at war with our inner self!
This song totally has the "Pearl Jam "Release" vibe to me only a bit more rockin. Whatta beautiful song god I miss the 90's
Such an amazing song. I'm amazed they never released it as a single. It is long for radio play but it still would have been a huge hit.
I still remember those days, when i used to listen to this song. So nice to hear it again! i love it! Thanks, Bush!
THANK YOU!!!! This is one of those songs that seems to wrap around me like a warm blanket. The video is amazing! Gave me chills!
"I swear to this...she felt like velvet; second blonde child...felt like velvet" ;)
That's me.
I feel something i cant describe but its beyond beautiful ❤
When Gavin Rossdale was poet, and a proper musician.
Rui Sousa he still is a proper musician and this is a great song off a great album I've just learnt how to play this song on guitar . Btw I hope their next album goes back to that sixteen stone sound just a timeless album and so well written and produced cheers 🍻
Wtf is a proper musician?
Please anyone, anyone?
Great job! Thanks for getting all the lyrics correct, so many don't. I'm so glad the band, BUSH, is back in action as of 2010 ! New music from them coming soon, be on the lookout if you can appreciate REAL music. February, 2011
It’s a beautiful rain 👽☔️
Secret song on 16 stone and actually one of the best lower dynamic sounding songs on the album
Thank you for not letting me back out to night ,you made me laugh more then I have in long time.I can't stop thinking about you .If it had not been for this song ,I don't know if i would have had the nerve to kiss you .I hope you had a good time tonight and next time you pick the movie..
Sometimes I feel like an Alien in this strange world...
24 years later, still beautiful
i dont breathe another lover
DarkoMajestic I wish he didn’t ...😢
I love the beggining of this song!
AWESOME SONG!!!!
I could listen 24 7.... is there anything better!!? in my feelings always with this
Found this song while researching George Bush and alien conspiracy
perfect
That's funny.
Well then I guess Bush served at least as *one* good cause for once.
I think it is safe to say that we all know why George Bush really invaded Iraq and that is control of his oil supplies. If that is the case why did gas prices jump to almost 5 dollars a gallon back in 2005?
Lol! Bush doesn't even qualify for alien status! Nor does the current clown!
Hahaha! They sent you to the right place pal. Good to see you!
The universe is relative and we all need to be one with it and everything in it
Good Luck... Immortality called
