CANDLEBOX - Far Behind (REACTION) First Time Hearing It

[@jenniferandrews1917]

Candlebox was an awesome band. Short lived, unfortunately. My son-in-law passed by suicide at age 20. Two weeks later my daughter found out she was pregnant with his son. My grandson is now nine years old and the light of my life. He shares his father’s name.

[@daleenengelbrecht4861]

So sorry to hear. Kind of know the feeling of the loss, the pain. Greetings from South Africa

[@jenniferandrews1917]

@ I appreciate that. We all have challenges in our lives. Mine is no different than other tragedies. Everyone goes through something. 🫶🏻

[@bob2shred894]

Candle box is still making music and touring if that helps

[@jenniferandrews1917]

@ really?!

[@fidelisjk]

still making music

[@lancerx1759]

This song was a tribute to the late great Andrew Wood of Mother Love Bone a super star of the Seattle musical scene

[@JosiahMayfield_1]

Great band.... Cover Me is my personal favorite... I hope you get a chance to react to it...

[@ryanr5319]

Best song on that album for sure! Agree!

[@kathyedleman633]

Another gem from them is "You".❤

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks for the the recommendation. Definitely want to hear more.

[@LisaBulmer]

This song will make you and myself cry! I’ve lost half my family to drugs. I can say I don’t hate much but I hate drugs.

[@silverblack5475]

Great Song 🎵.....lost a few friends from drugs , almost got me as well, overdosed back in 98 , woke up 2 days later , straight to my 3rd rehab never had a drink / drug since

[@jasonmallin5799]

Great band. Great song. RIP Andrew Wood!

[@timithius]

I sense a theme; lest we forget. Great band! The whole grunge scene marked a really important time in my life. My fondness will never fade.

[@riff8114]

This whole disc is very good...

[@jeffjones6221]

Great tune. This song is very high on my all-time list.

[@ememnicholas565]

You need to add Stone Temple Pilots to your grunge list. Scott Weiland's voice was one of the great ones of the 90's. And another one we lost way too soon. I recommend "Sour Girl" or "Interstate Love Song", or "Plush" to start. I love the grunge era, so for me, you are playing favorite after favorite. Good work!

[@therealspooks]

I did get to see Candlebox in concert, they were opening for Rush! So yeah, an epic night!! I just wanted to share that...

[@gregcormier2379]

I also saw the open for a rush. I believe it was the counterparts tour.

[@therealspooks]

@gregcormier2379 could have been, show I was at was in Dallas

[@kristenleigh1034]

I just saw them a couple months ago opening for Bush and Jerry Cantrell. Sounded AMAZING

[@nancymjohnson]

I love Candlebox. Saw them 30 years ago, and this past summer.

[@tlucas9798]

During covid Candlebox did a remote live cover version of Lover boys “Turn me loose” it was magical ❤.

[@paulshoup5805]

mother love bone crown of thorns . Peace

[@oakland-as-diehard6717]

Great song. Great album that got lost in the rise of grunge era.

[@Hippiemetalhead-h9k]

You know you've already made it right. You're doing great. I know my friend. I had to leave my home town and all my friends behind to escape the drugs. But I'm proud that I'm still here. 30 years of addiction. 6 years clean. God bless you my friend. And welcome back to God.

[@selfrealeyes]

Saw these guys live back in the day along with Our Lady Peace, another progressive rock band from the era. Awesome concert, loved it.

[@heavin6586]

Wow, havent heard this in a minute 🎉

[@davegrayson8774]

Great song and reaction

[@SaeedReacts.]

Really great song! Thanks for watching!

[@bazkeen]

New for me 👍🏻👍🏻 Heard the name but have never listened to them before this

[@Bekka_Noyb]

great 90s song! dbl ♥

[@ronaldhensley2169]

"You" is a great song. Lyrics and music

[@mattrotton]

Amen to everything you said man. Great song. Great reaction. Sometimes things appear just as they are and explanations aren't needed. This song has always been on my playlist since the first time I heard it.

[@patrickwest2288]

I haven't listened to Candlebox in a while. Thank you

[@stevenmonte7397]

Saw them open for RUSH in Dallas. I was immediately hooked!

[@scottNNJ]

I’m watching your face, especially through the second verse and into the guitar solo, and wonder what’s going through your head. You’re entitled to your privacy, of course, but I can tell that this song really hits close to you. Congratulations on 3 1/2 years sober; I’m glad you’re here with us today.

[@robert_39e]

Saw them last month and they still sound great. There were three songs written by his friends about Andy Wood when he passed. "Say Hello To Heaven" by Soundgarden and "Would" by Alice in Chains. In this song, the word "Maybe" was originally "Andy" but it was decided that was too personal and he changed it to "Maybe" which leaves it open to different interpretations.

[@daleenengelbrecht4861]

O saeed. Yes nowadays it is a common story in this life. Yes it always seems to knocks me back( but not down) because I still hear my twin sister's laughter and the great memories. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel. But I understand that sometimes peare in impossible situations and at that stage they see no other way out. Your channel is not jyst a joy but also therapeutic as we can share with other subscribers and show love and affection. Greetings from South Africa

[@redstep-child3096]

Keep your head up. Remember what youre fighting for. ❤️❤️❤️

[@davegrayson8774]

Stone Temple Pilots is a must react now. Start with Plush.

[@SENILE_TYRANT]

This was a gen X anthem. My favorite Candlebox song is 10,000 horses.

[@adhutch23]

I mentioned Mother Love Bone in your Temple of the Dog Reaction, this is another song written about the singer of that band overdosing. Definitely listen to Mother Love Bone at some point.

[@jasonstem9908]

One of the best live performances I've witnessed. They played zeta fest (ft Lauderdale, fl) in the mid 90s and they sounded great

[@matthewklimas6905]

They consider Candebox "post-Grunge" and for good reason. A lot more arena rock, big guitars, solos, soaring vocals than the traditional grunge genre. Their musical style is all over the board throughout their(Kevin's) career.

[@loveloochay]

🎼🌿🍁🌿🎼 . .. well Mr. Saeed , I think you have found a certain genre of music that tells your life story. I am glad you found the path to sobriety. As it just happens, I have a story centered around these rockers , Silverbox. Should I share this one ? ... well here goes : In the early 90s I had moved to NYC and started my story there as a waiter in an Italian restaurant at the base of The World Trade Center , the Twin Towers. The restaurant was busy during the day due to the close proximity to Wall Street. It was not busy at night at all , but it had another branch with an identical menu in The Theatre District, near the opera house. I was one of only a few waiters that worked at both locations. On a night shift at location #2, I was informed that I would be taking care of a large group and that most of the people were from a Rock band. The band's name was Silverbox and there was another twist. I was told that Madonna would be joining this dinner reservation. I actually had waited on Madonna a few months prior there. It turned out that Madonna had a record label , I believe it was Maverick Records, and she was meeting the band with the goal of signing them to her label. So , the band arrived first and ordered some bottles of wine , no sign of Madonna for a while. Eventually, the band and their management people ordered their dinner. ..... Enter ... Madonna. She looked very stunning. This was her short very dark hair phase which totally highlighted her bright blue eyes. When she took her seat, I had to inform her that, "the gentlemen had already ordered their dinners." She surprised me by telling me she remembered me , and that she owed me an apology for the behavior of one of her dinner guests from our first meeting. It was all a little weird. I was a small town Country kid who was raised in Western New York who never thought I would even visit New York City , let alone live and work there. Keep rockin' Saeed.

[@ryanball2754]

I was able to see Candlebox like 4 months ago, I was mainly their because I really wanted to see Jerry Cantrel (Alice In Chains). It was them and Bush. Amazing concert, all 3 did great.

[@SharilynBratton]

Used to listen to them a lot, they have quite a few really good songs!

[@Trendkiller196]

I live about a mile from the house that this was filmed in. It was the Elliot farm mansion. In the 90’s homeless people and drug addicts would stay in there. We would eat shrooms and dare our friends to go inside. We did, but it was spooky. Sadly it was demolished and became a housing development on Maple Valley highway.

[@chelseahaley8350]

Check out Runaway Train by Soul Asylum! Love this genre of music

[@redstep-child3096]

The survivors guilt is what resonates the most. For me

[@Rayray-kj9cc]

One of my favorite songs!! Congrats on the sober life!! I have 21 years sober from many things!! Peace🤘🤘

[@JessMessica]

Survivor's guilt 🎯

[@barbarahatcher5942]

Great song and a pretty good album

[@arnoldcox9128]

Deep lyrics

[@stevenmonte7397]

This song reminds me of a very close friend that shot himself getting pulled over by the cops... I saw his life unravel over the years and always wondered what could've happened if we stepped in. So many unanswered questions. damn.

[@erinhansen2110]

Congrats on making it out of that life. You seem so calm and stable, I'm a little bit shocked. Kudos to you! Love the channel! Happy Holidays!

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks so much! Appreciate the kind words. It's been a journey for sure and some days are harder then others, but i am definitely in the best place i have ever been. Happy Holidays to you and your family!

[@erinhansen2110]

@@SaeedReacts. Thanks so much for the warm wishes. Glad to hear you're in a great place... keep doing what you're doing! In case you ever feel low and need some extra motivation, perhaps Neil can provide it via perspective: kzbin.infocAghlL9lEvc

[@jamespuisys6311]

Try The Black Crowes- Sometimes Salvation

[@rachel.en3101]

@jamespuisys6311 that's my favorite Black Crowes song!

[@robertthole695]

this was a fantastic album

[@levpinter4279]

I feel you. We were all born 5 years too late....

[@olibird6920]

If you enjoy this, might i recommend some Bush? Glycerine is q good start for blurring the line between love and addiction.

[@bob2shred894]

I second the motion!

[@Trendkiller196]

Smoked many a joint in that pool

[@robertthole695]

i am coming up on 33 years clean, lost a lot of friends along the way.....

[@christybarrett7215]

This used to be one of my favorite songs. They have another great song called You that has similar content. There’s a couple songs I wanted to recommend to you that cover topics of addiction but are fantastic. I’m pretty sure you’d love these songs *Son Of A Sinner-Jelly Roll *It’s Been A While-Staind *Somebody Save Me-Jelly Roll and Lainey Wilson

[@bob2shred894]

It's been a while is a great song. I'm not familiar with with the other ones but I'll check them out

[@christybarrett7215]

@ they’re really good. Jelly Roll has an amazing voice and has had lots of struggles with drugs and alcohol. Grew up in poverty and got caught robbing a store and spent years in prison. Managed to turn things around though

[@christybarrett7215]

@ Need A Favor is also excellent. He actually started out as a rock artist but didn’t break out big in that genre so after a couple years he released under the country genre even though his music still sounds closer to soft rock. He won best new artist after putting out his first album.

[@TruckingInABlueDream]

They didn’t like to be called grunge, they’re a rock band.

[@JessMessica]

🖤🖤🖤grunge🖤🖤🖤

[@anaacevedo2263]

I believe the genera is alternative rock

[@tonyascarlett2413]

PLEASE react to COVER ME by Candlebox

[@chriztianrox]

Dude, if you like music like this then you MUST check out Alice In Chains. With what you said I think you would love them.
