2024??

[@Booz2020]

Over 2 Decades👀

[@misterbee66]

Yes indeed.

[@zachrizzo6525]

Duncan paved the way for John Mayer, Jason Mraz, Howie Day

[@worldwide7657]

VERY TRUE!!!

[@no1wonderfan921]

Such a sweet, humble guy. I've met him 5 times and he's always so genuine.

[@kimkennedy2041]

Jealous.

[@rodkovach6673]

Just heard 1st time 2024! Caught a clip of it playing in background of "Mornings w Maria" national news & saw Duncan Shiek credit, so wow gotta check it👏 Loved his debut hit sooo much still do!

[@wmvater77]

If i could go back to 2002. What a great time in my life.

[@kevintx5525]

proves 90's music is much better

[@magicjackm]

that's a pretty impressive feat, for a song that came out in the early 2000s

[@okkeheryadi4592]

Actually 2002

[@urhypeboy]

Absolutely

[@urhypeboy]

I can't describe it but there's this weird nostalgic feeling in my chest everytime I hear this song. No other song has ever made me feel this type of way.

[@alungcugil]

This song is part of my childhood in middle school.. need more appreciation.

[@urhypeboy]

Ew. Old

[@ProximaCentauri88]

2000s was a great follow up to the 90s. Just like what most people in the comments, this is a great roadtrip track together with Dakota (Stereophonics), What Took You So Long (Emma Bunton), For What It's Worth (The Cardigans), Breathe (Michelle Branch), Sing (Travis), No Rain (Blind Melon), Shakespeare In Love (Layla Kaylif) and 1979 (Smashing Pumpkins).

[@StreamHypeBoyByNewJeans]

What Took You So Long is the only banger out of this list

Yes, Duncan, you indeed are a really good singer. ❤

[@A1TrunkMusic]

I remember some one made a trance remix to this & I fell in love with this song when I was like 12 or 13 I’d always hope my future wife would love this song as much as I do

[@Indpendent01]

Gabriel and Dresden remix!

[@rebeccashuman6199]

This is a motivational song, whenever I have a bad day or I am caught in a bad situation I always to make myself happy and not lose control of my anger & have my glass half-full

[@adamr.a.n.t.runningandnavi2413]

I thought this song was about him pretending to be in love with somebody? 😂

[@SimtekSensors]

This song has a special memory for me. One of my friends in highschool (class of 2007) was killed just days after our high school graduation. They were out celebrating and were hit by a truck and died instantly. This song played at her beautiful funeral, during a moment where they showed pictures of her life. Rest in Peace. She was an incredibly bright star that is missed by many. This song brings me both joy and sadness and I often well up with tears thinking about the life snuffed out short. Never take anything for granted.

[@milktecake8726]

Throwback to millenium era.. they had have such a greatest artist, duo and bands ever! Take me back to that era pls 😔

[@dyaenerys]

This lockdown lets us explore our old good songs on playlists ♥ #covid19

Nick Garcia Because now its all about business and marketing schemes. Walking billboards for brands so the youth can make "them" rich. Somehow everybody forgot about talent, creativity and most importantly... MUSIC.

[@hyperxdemz8471]

Damn man I'm glad u found this song this my favorite song since highschool days now im 32 and still blasting this song in my car💥

[@mariotarradell9553]

Why this song was not a huge pop hit is totally mind-boggling. Duncan Sheik gave Atlantic Records the big pop record they were clamoring for and then...nothing. Ah, the major label music industry. Gotta love em.

[@JulianHills]

+Mario Tarradell this is probably one of the most perfectly written and composed pop songs in 20 years. It's almost a companion piece to "Islands In The Sun" by Weezer. I think being released after 9/11 just found it being lost in uncertain times.

[@TheUsmc0802]

Completely agreed!!! Amazing song that i still find myself humming to.

[@TheUsmc0802]

Mario Tarradell seriously!!!!

[@ahumanlewis4793]

I read somewhere that he didn't like fame or the industry so it was him who decided to call it quits. Although the musical styling is very much pop music the man has a thoughtful poetic writing and verse structure.

[@finallymadik83]

truly a unique person! what stands out is he's lyrics he's positive, course changing ideals heck on my own opinion he's level of music is like Sting's ! self denial vs reality topic.

[@AKKalashnikov]

Gabriel & Dresden did this song justice by remixing it. THAT's the best!

just a fantastic song and a simply great video. when you're down, watch and try as hard as you can not dance and not to smile. (Because, as you already know, it's f****** impossible!)

[@cyrussdeus3172]

Listening 2024

[@rexg.8184]

This song is like perfection.

[@AmazingSharkboy]

It's not a sad or angry song, or meant to be ironic (like a pretty song about obsession in the Police's "Every Breath You Take"). Like the lyrics say "There are some who say there are so many things I need" but he chooses not to absorb so much of what he hears - he chooses to be content with himself and his life - and not believe the "Conspiracy of Happiness" - what other people think they need to be happy. It's a simple song of emotional independence.

[@U240robert]

Surprising that he seems to be forgotten about. He hasn’t released any special edition cds. None of his albums are available on vinyl. A shame as he was quite good and this is one of my favorites of the era

[@inyaki06]

[@BigFlex516]

back then, there was a lot more music shooting out of every crevice, but that doesn't mean we're not getting really good stuff now. it just takes a little more digging since the tastes of the general public has changed

Get off my lawn, old man. There's lots of great music out there. It can just be harder to find.

[@muhdbaqi]

To the future visitor. Lets sing along. Welcome 2022 with this song! I'm on a high, I'm on a high There's nothing more to it. We are the sea and the sky And the blue that runs through it, yeah. And there are some who say there are so many things I need So I run or I fight and I crawl or I scream and I bleed I bleed, I bleed Well, it's a lie it's a lie - don't you believe it. If you're fine then you're fine - it's all how you see it. Oh, there never will be no conspiracy of happiness. I'm on a high I'm on a high And there's nothing more to it I have the sun, it's a star Why should I refuse it And there are so many reasons I could give you why I should be down There's not enough money or time and my love you're not around Around, around But it's a lie it's a lie - don't you believe it. If you're fine then you're fine - it's all how you see it. Oh, there never will be no conspiracy of happiness. You're alive you're alive - how else could you hear me? You are fine, you are fine - there's nothing worth fearing 'Cause there never will be no conspiracy of happiness I'm on a high, on a high We are the sea and the sky I'm on a high, on a high I'm on a high It's a lie, It's a lie don't you believe it 'Cause I've tried and I've tried, and I can't really see it Yeah, I'm trapped inside my conspiracy of happiness Said I was yours, you were mine but I didn't really mean it And I lied and I lied And I wish you hadn't seen it 'Cause I'm trapped inside my conspiracy of happiness I'm on a high, on a high, there's nothing more to it, yeah.

[@MrRohmans]

This song is underrated

[@Hy-Brasil]

16 years ago i met my husband in a pub on karaoke night. He was and still is the epitome of this song. Pretending like nothing was wrong because there are worse things and even though his wife had left him and taken everything including his two year old daughter and his dignity, he would be just fine. except he knew he wasn't. He still has issues with acknowledging bad things that happen, or bad moods, or that sometimes people just make you angry and it's okay to feel emotions other than happiness. (this is a result of prolonged parental narcissistic abuse - and actually a big reason why his wife left him-because he would never own up to anything he did that might be seen as wrong or toxic.) because his mother was the one who instilled that absurd belief that you are ONLY allowed to show happiness. You're NEVER supposed to be disappointed in someone, especially her. Autonomy was against the rules. When I hear this song I don't hear catchy lyrics and an upbeat tune. It's cathartic that the person in the song finally accepts responsibility for his part in a failed relationship and that he has been lying to himself all along about being happy. That's how you get better and learn from your mistakes.
