All Dawson's Creek Openings (With 'I Don't Want To Wait')

So I decided to make a video with all the Dawson's Creek openings because I really don't like that they used the international opening on the DVDs (and Netflix) after season 2. It's all seasons, 1-6 with "I Don't Want to Wait" by Paula Cole. Enjoy!

[@XconnorX11]

Same. I think it's that this show represents a recent history that's gone with the wind. The 90's and early 00's were truly a different world, without all this technology and social media. That's why it seems so far away. Hard to think that only 15 years ago kids were being kids. We had no cell phones, no social media, a much more basic internet. Kids were spending their time outside with each other rather than making Tik Toks, playing fortnite, or worrying about what instagram photo to post. Everyone hates each other nowadays, the world is full of anger. This show represents a time when people really seemed happier. We were more focused on building meaningful relationships and seeing the beauty of the world, anything seemed possible. No one feels that way anymore. We are no longer genuine

[@twinningtwins4721]

@@XconnorX11 very accurate. Hanging out with friends for a good chat and a laugh was the norm. Phones were only attached to walls or tabletops in our homes. Taking pictures was a special experience. You had to take your films to the photo studio to get them developed and printed. Then take them home to look through with family and add to the family photo albums. Everything was a human experience back then. Now it's all run by machines with instant gratification. I'm glad at least part of my life was lived as a fully functioning human. No wonder so many young people today are depressed and have mental illnesses.

When life was much easier

[@amandacosta1566]

Watching this with tears in my eyes , where s the time machine??? 🤧

[@brianaramirez40]

Same 😢

[@supremacy4209]

Thanks, I stared to watch on nexflix and I was remember the first intro I saw

[@Jay-O_Carlow]

I was super young when it came out but in 1996.. I was 9 & I got hooked to the show Brings back so many amazing memories… Crazy how much a few words & a track can make you feel

[@staygold902]

the song choice couldn't have been more perfect

[@SickSilckMan]

Wait, the DVDs don't have the original intros? But...but that's...that's the show's intro! It's iconic! It's one of the most recognizable things about this show! The fuck?

[@austinpearce5442]

SickSilckMan because of music clearance rights.

[@JoshuaR7594]

Season one and two do, and then we get Run Like Mad for the rest of the series until the final episode.

[@c.b.5535]

the artist got really pissy about it, and didn't allow for the song to be used

[@christianmarkcrisostomo7036]

missing all of this kind of show

[@molliemarshall6435]

I will always adore this show, I was only born when this show first came out but at the same time escaped the major definitive millennial change of INTERNET EVERYTHING lmao, I first saw it properly when I was like 9 and as I rewatched as I got older I felt it captured so much of how I felt as a teen which a lot of shows miss out on now and I think its sad. 90s-00s teen shows had so much heart to them and got so much so right I wish more of the younger generation were aware of them!

[@meestresotanto]

I just found out that this is the real Dawson's Creek theme song and it's not the one you see on Netflix.

[@3bay]

Just finished the show, god it’s so good

[@chrisbyrne6808]

I'm watching on Hulu now and was waiting for this iconic song to come on. I had to skip through each 1st episode of each season and couldn't find it. Now I'm here 🤔

[@Kratos30000]

The better fitting song, although I like Run like mad too.

[@maliaferry8212]

I just saw a picture of Suri, who is about the same age now that Katie was when she started, it was like looking at a young Katie, wow she looks just like her mom.

[@jeremyeagles3237]

Ugh I really wish Netflix could have the rights to this opening! The new one sucks

[@fadimatouunkara1704]

Katie Holmes my favorite♥️ c'est si émouvant de revoir ses images, les années 90 et début 2000 fût les meilleurs années de ma vie

[@ampm1237]

I miss 90 i miss my dad

[@jimtim8805]

Ampm 123 I know..I miss 90's and I miss my dad too. Although he was in his 40's already in the 90's he always loved that era. He passed away 1 month ago. I miss him and 90's so much. 😭

[@rodydor4525]

[@kellyann2858]

Omg I started watching this on Netflix and I knew something wasn’t right....why is it the wrong song on Netflix

[@emolyemu89]

Because Sony didn't want to pay more money to use the song in streaming and half the distribution (DVDs). The only licensing they ever purchased was for use on nationally syndicated television. It doesn't cover streaming and a sony executive wasn't willing to pay more to acquire the rights to use it in streaming. Many copies of the DVDs don't even have this song. The song used on Netflix and streaming was actually the original song they had intended to use but some WB execs thought this song would resonate better since it was a popular song at the time.

[@kjdempsey]

Hey Kel do you want to come over to my place and take it back to the Dawson’s Creek days?

[@shampoo7]

Sony owns it as they had originally made a bunch of artists compete for the title song of the show. Paula Cole won and it's was the official song. When Dawson's Creek was bought but Sony from WB they had access to all songs from that competition and Arden's Run Like Mad master was purchased so they decided to change it when Dawson's Creek's rights were distributed among platforms for reruns. A decision to save money from paying royalties Paula Cole and using Arden's song which was bought outright was then decided. However Sony under pressure from fans has since decided to reinstate the original Paula Cole song I Don't Want to Wait

[@Surfer041]

The close up of Katie in season 1, just before it fades out, she smiles and looks up. That is the moment my 19 year old self fell in love with Katie Holmes.

[@lantech7709]

Same omg

[@jcsmamacita]

Oh the memories. I watched every episode. Started rewatching on Hulu yesterday and now there is a horrible new theme song. Thanks for posting this

[@denyshernandez505]

I was thinking of getting Hulu to watch this...now that they don't have the original theme song...I won't get it now. Thanks for the info.

[@tigerfang2099]

same I just found out the series is on Hulu I started today and it was a big let down not to hear this theme but at least I'm re-watching the episodes remembering the good old days and also I'm watching "Sabrina the teenage witch" as well, good job Hulu.

[@stefanofiori3692]

The first two season in Italy went out with different intros: now watching all season on prime and the “weird” track is on all the series! I wonder why

[@randtech2136]

Who else is here in 2021 having just binge watched this on Netflix and wondering if they were going crazy for thinking this was the theme song and now feeling sane again having learned that it was to do with distribution rights as to why the theme song on Netflix is different?

[@ceciliaolivieri5395]

Facts

[@nottangel]

Am I the only young person who likes this show? I remember always seeing reruns on tv as a kid and was so intrigued even though I had absolutely no idea what was going on lol. Finally decided to actually watch it from start to finish and still gets me hooked! The theme song always gives me a warm feeling inside. Wish they would make more original shows like this.

[@MoFernandez]

Not only you 😊. . Michelle Williams was my first crush 😂

[@tynicole88]

It brings back a lot of memories, I was really young when this came out but I remember the theme song and my mom watching it. So much nostalgia

[@noblelies]

You can see the contrast between Season 1, where they're saying, "Yeah, this is filmed with a home camcorder, but oh pretty please watch our show!" and Season 2, where it's like, "Oh yeah.... We got tens of millions bucks and high ratings to work with! Got this down! Easy!". ;)

[@dandelion1469]

I think it was supposed to show dawson as a filmmaker that's why it was filmed with a camcorder

[@TheLwaller09]

Also, season 1's intro might have been low budget, but its easily the best. And the story of how they decided to use that footage is the stuff of legend in television circles.

[@mazomort4127]

@@TheLwaller09 What's the story behind that choice ?

[@arturocas90]

All successful shows work like that, they go through that process. When the money and success hits even the looks of the cast turns much more polished. Compare to Beverly Hills 90210. As the seasons went on the show’s looks became more polished

[@javidel]

It´s incredible how Katie Holmes looks more beautiful every season

[@laurenmeltzer7159]

I hate how it’s changed to a different song in streaming.

[@lantech7709]

Yeah sucks
