This band was totally underrated. J.R.'s voice, stage presence and looks are over the top. Love this band!

[@gdbriot1162]

Not underrated to anyone who grew up in the 80s/90s.

[@BigTyronie]

This song was played for two years in heavy rotation. Thats not a symptom of being underrated

[@larsox]

@@gdbriot1162 And not underrated by anyone who raised kids in the 80s/90s. Love this song!

[@joelucero3514]

This song is so nostalgic for me! I've heard it thousands of times in my lifetime. I'm 34 years old and just now found out the name of this band Dishwalla! Wtf is that?! Haha Love this song! Awesome live performance!

[@Dishwalla]

thanks!

[@CreepyStalker66]

Killer song from the 90s. Killer performance

[@lorenazure7116]

Loved this era, wish I could turn back time

[@jebbiealvarez3722]

time flies so fast seems like yesterday....back in the 90's good music

[@joeyrodriguez6190]

This song along with Plowed by Sponge defines the 90's for me. One of my favorite songs!

Great band, great singer, great song!

[@indieshack4476]

Extraordinary performance of an amazing song, they really knocked it out of the park

[@iamme8051]

90’s music are nostalgic.

[@Angel4UTwo]

This band was and is still great. Many other songs didn’t get as much air play as this one did!! I remember first hearing about them from Freak on the Mancow show in the 90’s!! I absolutely love the songs “Until I Wake Up” and “Angels & Devils” I was a fan back then and STILL am and always will be!! ❤❤❤

[@ideaynojodas]

What a great representation of the 90's rock scene. LOVE IT

[@AlTheRelic]

Dishwalla forever!

[@cwww1206]

Man what great music from these guys .. JRs vocals the band live is studio effing tight you'd think you were listening to the cd ! First heard them on a borrowed disc from a fellow musician who's brother Ted Pearce is a converted music minister from a Rock band ( The Nomadic Farmers) who Had this same tight sound and musicianship and he said listen to these guys too..handed me Opaline I have worn that thing out.

[@levity90]

I love this song. What a great live performance. 💕

[@PhantomEyce]

Thank God for the 90's. 🤓

[@sergionavarro3865]

Absolutely man!

[@rescuegirl]

Absolutely! Greatest time to be alive!

[@MustangSam]

I recorded this back then and cut off the ending by accident. I'm so glad to see it posted because I love this performance and its so great to hear again. Wish I could go back to those years!

[@JaimeGonzalez-wx1gw]

The 90’s were such a great time and I also wish I could go back to those years. So many great bands, music, and movies from the 90’s.

[@muthusala6143]

Dishwalla don't stop there keep making kick ass rock music great song and great music make some more kick ass rock

Holy smokes. Look at baby Conan!! :)

[@brandonburford2396]

Beautiful song

[@screamahlee9625]

Realy? You didnt notice the fairytale like ambience background? Thats what it soundd idiot

[@ryanbuckner2405]

I’ve never heard another band that sounds so true to their record. It’s like a super band was assembled by the label.

[@jakedibiase7404]

They weren’t put together by anyone though. This is just good musicianship. The guitarist in particular had great gear and really dialed in some great tones. And fantastic singing from JR. He had a killer voice.

[@gordong11]

such a beautiful song

[@chrissimpson855]

Leader was hot as hell to me, I was 15 years old.

[@alphonseelric2514]

i know! he has a doll face, like Ken doll lol

[@williamburnham6639]

He is so handsome

[@CursedLemon]

Man I'm impressed with how he's bang-on with his pitch, this song is one of those songs where the softness of how it's delivered makes it deceptively hard to be in-tune

[@rumisfordrinkingnotburning]

My dad bought this record right when it came out he would play it every morning before he dropped us off at school and when this song came on i imagined what he was saying creating a movie in my mind

[@sttraton]

FODASSOOO ! Good times, tks a lot Dishwalla !

[@rogeriomaia1070]

ta curtindo o novo vocal man?

[@FaceTheAshes]

Those Ernie Ball Stingrays are so boomy

i had a picture with JR Richard in YAKA Bar. and that was his first gig in the philippines in 2024

[@ozgamingdotnet]

Love this song!

[@beanie1089]

What a babe! Haha! He looks great now, just has short hair and a beard. These guys were and are still awesome!

[@rauljavierservinvalle572]

Maybe some would agree AND some know them by hearing Gim blossoms or James. But i have to say Thank you SMALLVILLE

[@Turk6452]

Some bands catch a wave and they become a one hit wonder not to say they’re not talented but it’s apparent why on the other hand I just felt that Dishwalla was too talented to really only have one chart hit awesome group

[@ryanbuckner2405]

Most of you don’t even understand that the key to their guitar sound is that bogner ecstasy back there. Unbelievable tone in that amp!

[@morgansdoor]

Love the song live! Too bad the sound quality is not so good cos JR is a great vocalist 😭😢

[@PNL_King]

Am I really 34 years old???

Anybody familiar with that Keyboard rig? What is he playing on?

[@Paul.wvillanueva]

Must've been mid afternoon I could tell by how far the child's shadow stretched out and He walked with a purpose In his sneakers, down the street He had many questions Like children often do He said: Tell me all your thoughts on God Tell me am I very far Must've been late afternoon On our way the sun broke free of the clouds We count only blue cars Skip the cracks in the street And ask many questions Like children often do We said: Tell me all your thoughts on God 'Cause I'd really like to meet her And ask her why we're who we are Tell me all your thoughts on God 'Cause I'm on my way to see her So tell me am I very far, Am I very far now? It's getting cold, picked up the pace! How our shoes make hard noises in this place! Our clothes are stained We pass many cross-eyed people And ask many questions Like children often do Tell me all your thoughts on God 'Cause I'd really like to meet her And ask her why we're who we are Tell me all your thoughts on God 'Cause I'm on my way to see her So tell me, am I very far? We're not very far now We're not very far now We're not very far now

[@christianpicardo2683]

They won a grammy arent they rigjt?

[@rumisfordrinkingnotburning]

And this song always reminded me of Jesus/God and i had thought he said don't let Mary find out haha

Tell me all your thoughts on God cuz I'm on my way to see Her... And I did and she held me in her arms and whispered to me ssshhhh.... It's okay, I've got you.

[@RadDadBMX]

Ahhh before music fucking sucked.

[@C0C0_Nuts]

1996 definitely when grunge lost its roots. These guys dress like a clean imitation of Nirvana and they're playing pop music. Was all downhill from here to Nickelback.

[@rumisfordrinkingnotburning]

Still a good fucking band lol

[@Daniel-415-Ponce]

They were never a grunge band - - was every rocker in the 1990's supposed to wear flannel and to avoid ever taking a bath for sake of appearing to have street cred?

[@pamelarodgers1639]
