In The Blood (Video)

[@ericgaskins571]

Anybody else realizing just how good we had it in the 90's?

[@curtis7599]

Yeah. I remember how rejection was so great.

[@aceone2121]

Yeah, music was great, and we had all the freedom to be young. The internet is great at many things, but the quality of life without it in the 90s was epic.

[@Gen_X_Amy]

Every living moment of my life!

[@csmit374]

⁠Miss it so much, very grateful I spent junior high and high school in the 90’s.

[@fuqoff8583]

So glad my 20’s coincided with the 90’s. We did have it good from a music perspective. We just assumed it would stay that way but sadly we have todays music - if it can be called music.

[@Visibletoyou22]

How does this song not have more views ? It's their best song !

[@jennifershensky5136]

Haven't heard this song in 25 years now can't stop listening to it.

[@jeffreyl.wiseman2597]

Never thought I'd say it, but after the past four years, I wanna go back to the 1990s.

[@4G63Tx]

Me too

[@guins99]

80s…

[@TheRealVenom87]

90s yes please 😢

[@Chief_Eagle_Dropping]

Wow....surely you are not speaking about the 'Savior of Democracy' that 83 million people voted for? We got what we asked for and more.....

[@chrisbentley71]

30 years later and the music still shakes the soul

[@quantumepic7812]

Yesss!!

[@Whoamidontknow17707]

This is definitely one of THE BEST 90s songs ever written!

[@iscleslie]

Totally Agree

[@adamv242]

The depth of the lyrics....

[@saramae194]

And that guitar and his very unique voice so good

[@MrDickLeaky]

Are even going to mention the TOTAL GEAR SHIFTING DRUMMING! OMG

[@johnsnow4899]

Nah, kinda generic. Good has the best hook and is much more memorable.

[@mrshaneobuenosnodgrass3328]

This is one of those songs that bring me right to another time and place as soon as I hear the opening to it. It feels good to reminisce on the memories but hurts to know they are long gone..

[@astraltimewarrior5129]

Tonic, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Gin Blossoms, The Cranberries, and this band was my life soundtrack growing up. I remember when Good premiered on MTV made me a fan of this band. I purchased both Deluxe and Friction, Baby CD’s and wore out both albums. I was 12 years old when Deluxe was released. So many good memories. I wish I could go back to better times.

[@Daniel-415-Ponce]

How do you wear out a CD?

[@speedracerjeff]

One of the best albums ever, had this on cassette and CD lol. Gotta love the 90s bands… the Gin Blossoms, Dishwalla, The Toadies, Spacehog, Collective Soul…. What an era for music.

[@TarToner]

It was the last of the great music. Up to about 1998 then it went to the toilet

[@reidchandler6486]

Still have "deluxe" cd, was my first real concert at 12, violent femms, artificial joy club, dishwalla, better than ezra and matchbox 20 headlined. Will never forget!

[@debrashort2265]

Don't forget Tonic, Candlebox, Seven Mary Three, and The Wallflowers. I think I could probably spend the rest of the day listing artists and bands. What an awesome era for music!💜💜

[@justlee5190]

Smashing pumpkins

[@jackstecker3636]

Wow thanks ❤for the memories of good days

[@GenZad]

One of the most underrated songs of the 90s.. crazy the lack of respect for this masterpiece

[@michelleharper2940]

Totally agree! This band was horribly underrated!!

[@tim777us]

Hoping to see them for the first time, in 2024. Grew up with this band, and though not a "pop" music fan, pop in the '90s was very different than now

[@dalton_grelle]

The kid in this music video literally grew up to become a very amazing English teacher. He taught me in my freshman year.

[@dannerization]

Goddamn.... No shit? What a trip

[@lightninseed]

That's crazy! Wow!

[@mzwww3243]

Super random, but super cool! How did you come to learn that your teacher was in this video - Like, how would that even come up??

[@lisellesloan3191]

And Kevin Griffin was an English major!

[@dalton_grelle]

@@mzwww3243 We were in class one day and we had nothing to do, so he put up this music video and said, "Guess who that kid is!"

[@sympathyforthedevil1553]

Better Than Ezra frontman Kevin Griffin said in an interview he wrote this song when his girlfriend at the time's uncle Patrick was in the final stages passing away from Aids and it's about not knowing about the history of who you love & who they've loved before you.

[@Daniel-415-Ponce]

Thanks for the explanation. I initially could not make heads or tails of what this song was about, but within the context you shared, the lyrics make total sense to me now, and I love the song even more than I did previously.

[@brettgordon5569]

I miss these mid-late 1990s post grunge rock bands like Goo Goo Dolls, Everclear, Better Than Ezra, Live, Bush, Toad The Wet Sprocket, Fuel, Local H, Hum and the Bloodhound Gang.

[@MrTopflight29]

I miss them too, these songs bring back old memories. Bring back memories of people that you’ll never see again.

[@methodmahan5335]

Such great/sad memories of high school and a few years after. The 90s definitely had a specific feeling.

[@davidcoon3602]

This is the last of the best. These bands? They had a helluva good run tho.

[@snattler]

Last I heard BTE is still doing tours.

[@tonywellington7854]

third eye blind

[@Kingfisher1215]

Ezra is my second favorite band of all time, behind these guys.

[@haddonhousefilms]

Man this brings back memories . Summer of 1996 this song was all over the radio nonstop. And I couldn't get enough.

[@chrissimpson6701]

I was 18 years old when this song came out. Man those were the days. Where did music like this go?

[@ElCholoDeJolo]

So when this came out i was that kids age, and my parents played this album on the home stereo often.... the nostalgia is almost too much. Longing for that better time

[@wildmercuryfilms]

One day, you’ll long for today. Here’s a New Song to play for your kids: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZLGhpqNjdekrcU

[@narfezravl96]

My favorite band ever!! I was obsessed with this video in the summer of 1995. I've been enjoying their music ever since I first heard Good!

[@christiancamlin13]

Good was their breakthrough and it was good but In the blood was what made me take notice.

[@welling1]

Summer of 95 I was heading into my senior year and folding clothes (in a crappy retail job) as this blared on the radio.

[@Ben77788]

Oh yes, this was the summer before my Freshman year in high school. Good was played over and over on MTV…and then this dropped. Still sounds great all these years later

[@Beech1967]

Have you heard their album Surprise?

[@MrMalouf86]

I think closer is their best album although the earlier ones had some great songs. As a whole, I think closer was excellent top to bottom.

[@ericzander8431]

I was 16 in ‘95 - had the tape adapter to play this CD in my 1984 Mercury Cougar. Smells like Drakkar Noir & Marlboro Lights going for a cruise after a shitty 4-close at the fast food gig.

[@carlitoeroy2537]

One of my favorite Better Than Ezra songs. I can still remember listening to this in my high school days back year 1995 when I started listening to rock music. Good, Rosalia, King of New Orleans and Desperately Wanting are also my favourites. Now year 2021 I still love listening to these.😉--Aims

[@carlitoeroy2537]

😉😍☺️

[@LemonTree9280]

Rosalia love!!!!!!!

[@jacobseal]

Rosalia!!!! Love that song. They have a lot of great songs across their albums.

[@sandrag3383]

Man, I still jam to this ❤❤❤❤.

[@thebaron8169]

I thought I'd grow out of these 80's songs, intsed i've grown into them. Best music ever.

[@danseth5775]

This came out in like 1996 bruh

[@angelabaker6216]

I still have my tshirt from the 1995 Deluxe tour! I loved BTE in high school and still do!

[@lionofapollo4636]

Dont get too caught up in nostalgia to the point where you dont create new memories with your children or other young ones in your life. Include these elements so they can look back one day and feel connected to the moment the he same way you are now.

[@aimmaeroy7334]

I'll never get tired of listening to rock hits of the 90s. This band is one of my favourites. In The Blood, Good, Desperately Wanting, King of New Orleans and Rosalia are my favourites. Always with ♥️ from the Philippines.👍✌️🤘😉

[@angrychucky6885]

People say you can’t travel back in time. Bullshit... Music from my childhood does it for me all the time😎

[@steveharward4938]

Such an underrated song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jasonsydejko977]

Totally agree. I think this is their best song.

[@cmikesmith664]

Definitely

[@kylehegedus5498]

These guys are underrated.

[@Username-ng8jy]

@@jasonsydejko977 porcelain is my favorite from them. But this song is up there

[@mohdrizalazharabdulmajid6084]

One of the many gems of the 90's

[@sweetiejen84]

My very first concert when I was in junior high. Fantastic song that always brings me back. 🖤

[@Jay-qg2mb]

Hard to believe that these once huge hits only have less than a million views on KZbin lol

[@darrenthompson3328]

That would have been an awesome show... I've never had the opportunity to see them, one of my favorite bands.

[@TheMunstawave]

I saw them at the House of Blues in New Orleans, fantastic concert, that night on the way home hit a deer on the way home at 3:00 am, my first deer after a concert

[@larryyoung5289]

I got to meet Kevin Griffith,very approachable and great human being.

[@aratayamaoka6672]

How can this song has only 433 likes on the Earth?????????

[@patriciamays8244]

It was only played on alternative and college radio stations

[@lightninseed]

I love these old 90's songs that really take me back to the moment I first heard them!

[@CharlesCosta-w1q]

That is one of the coolest short stories I’ve ever heard 😊

[@edwardmonjereyes7607]

Dios porque no regresan y hacen mas canciones hermosas , mi ruta en el auto se hace mas llevadera escuchandolos , me alegran y me transportan a años memorables, me retuerzo en la cama de madrugada escuchandolos con ansias de retroceder en el tiempo que hermosooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[@tim777us]

"In The Blood" is one of my favorite songs. I love the beat and the feel of this song. Typical of the '90s, this had a great sound regardless of genre.

[@ryancarmichael4145]

Great music still in the 20020 gosh how I miss that Era, great song band and music, the 90s rock..

[@kevinmarion8991]

Just saw them and Gin Blossoms last night at Summerfest in Milwaukee/ outstanding is an understatement.

[@BoostedAgent]

I remember being 16 and singing this song with so much passion like I understood it. Now that I am 40 I really understand it and I still sing it like I wrote it.

[@mrjesanchez]

Please explain it's meaning to me, I have no earthly clue what it's about. Thank you.

[@philliplocey9451]

@@mrjesanchez It's about an acquaintance of the lead singer's dying of AIDS. This was back in the mid-90s, when life expectancy was much lower. "In the Blood" literally refers to the disease, and the questions, "Who'd you love before? Who'd they love before you?" Is about trying to trace who they got it from and who else they might have passed it on to.

[@mrjesanchez]

@@philliplocey9451 Thank you.

[@Cinemaniac-e2l]

The chorus in this song is so damn good! Always gave me chills from the first time, I am 45 now, still works every time! Awesome tune.

[@jaysato]

the drumming sounds crazy in this song

[@davidcoon3602]

@Lilian Moreland No way. Serious? Helluva drummer

[@Jarrod203]

Lilian Moreland he owns a chain of Italian restaurants now, correct? Sorry if that’s wrong. Just needed to confirm what I read.

[@runawaywithmarilyn]

i miss the nineties... despite only being there for the last 4 years.

[@danielseth8272]

I feel you bud. Born in 87 . The 90s were amazing

[@sdalt001]

This band has such a wonderful sense of pacing with percussion.

[@thac0twenty377]

90s drummees were umderrated

[@PedroNavarro-jk8je]

Que energía tan grande ...!! Me encanta esta canción desde que la escuché en 1995 ,que POTENCIA, todo encaja ,la voz ,la guitarra , el baterista , el vídeo del niño que quiere comunicarse ,es increíble como la música te hace conectar todos tus sentimientos y sentidos...!!!

[@katyobrien3773]

Still my favorite of theirs. They have a lot of good ones. Still would sound just as dope if it were released today

[@davidcoon3602]

Damn. Where did the time go? Blew by like a lightning Bolt. Almost puts a lump in my throat.😢🤯😈🤫

[@Railroader4Trump]

Right.. I’ll be 40 in 2 weeks. It wasn’t long ago this song was in the radio and long summer days of skateboarding in the 90s. Mid life crisis nostalgia.

[@markosborne6856]

This was my song. I still listen to them. The memories come flooding back.

[@LemonTree9280]

My 100%, no contest, no argument favorite band from the 90s...seen them 18 times and counting!

[@ericmcnair4083]

I've seen them twice in the past six months. Wish I'd seen them during their peak

[@nezahualcoytl]

one of the most underrated songs of all time

[@miameramusic]

I totally agree this song should have charted as high or higher than "Good", it really showed the emotional range of these guys. So overlooked, but they had so much competition for airplay on the radio back then.

[@hernancespedes150]

Esta canción tiene un sonido tan increíble, que te pone la piel de gallina, Gran banda!!!

[@vrukasovizky4360]

La batería es espectacular y la guitarra no para nunca 1995 si tienes una guitarra wow 🇵🇪

[@juandiegoboterolopez474]

That's true

[@krishnahayban2894]

If we could go back! Great era of music and time!

[@zc795]

Were amazing tonight in Kittanning,PA! I've loved this band since I was a teen, getting to see them do a local show and blow everyone away was awesome

[@PaRappa00001]

I am obsessed with this. By far my favorite thing to watch. 😍😍😍 KG’s face is ridiculously precious here.
