This song doesn’t receive the credit that it deserves, it’s one hell of a track.

[@johnpaulguevara3977]

This song brought me back to the 90’s. Happier, simpler times.

[@bengalitiger427]

I saw him open up for Ben Folds in Detroit. I was able to meet him backstage and asked if he would play this song on his guitar- he did! A genuine and nice fella!

[@reneerobinson3559]

Detroit❤️❤️❤️

[@carkkkent57]

I was at that show too! I also was at the same backstage event!

[@Aquablue33]

I can honestly say that I believe Duncan Sheik produces music of the highest quality.

[@PabloPerez-ed9gp]

🙂

[@ourjuliet]

Good heavens. The original McDreamy right here. And he still wears the crown ❤️ his wife is a lucky lady. More importantly (sorta), this was my introduction to his mastery of chord structure and melody. I’ve been one of his subjects ever since.

[@ThatSquareChick]

Got to get him to sign my arm at a concert when he was just opening for Ben folds and a piano back in like ‘03 I get all blushy when people think it’s my boyfriend’s name. Except that it is in cursive and drunk people always say “Duncan SHREK??” Uncultured swine lol

[@kevinlofstrom1799]

This song and Barely Breathing, helped me get through some of the hardest part of my life in 1997. Thank you Duncan.

[@Coolcat692]

Definitley the most underrated song writer.

[@delaplanemusic]

Definitely not.

[@Pleaselikemycomment1]

A friend of mine once said Duncan Sheik was a one hit wonder. I had never laughed so loud in my life.

[@DebNKY]

Wow, that's just tone deaf. Wow.

[@Threemiles236]

I'm so glad I was born early enough in the 80's to remember the entire decade of the 90's. What a great era that was

[@chadrat39]

U bet it was

[@SWRadioConcepts]

Every song on this album was great. I bought it when it was first released. I miss the 90s.

[@doesntmatter2505]

Ditto!

[@ravenx5309]

I didnt appreciate rock alternative in the 90s barely breathing. Was tattooed in my brain. Recently i heard the song in my head.. Now i bang it often

Last decade of really good music~ 🎶🎤

[@jamezh2822]

@@joane5777 Nah, there is still good music being made.

[@hucklebuck101010]

I worked at a supermarket in the summer and fall of 1997. They used to play this song over the sound system almost every day. I never knew the title or artist until I looked it up just now. Good song.

[@Music-tk5oq]

It also got a lot of radio airplay at the time but didn't make the hot 100 chart

[@estedetringham7528]

@@Music-tk5oq I never understood why. This was played on AA (Adult Alternative) stations quite a bit. Before I had my own show, I worked on air at an AA station, and would use any excuse to play this. It was usually requested at least once per night on weekends. I'd play it even if it wasn't requested, or on the playlist. I would ALWAYS get calls after playing it, asking me who/what was just on. This is one of my favorite pieces of music of all time.

[@Music-tk5oq]

It was kind of like the followup tune 2 Duncan's mega breakout hit "Barely Breathing" which made him a 1 hit wonder..

[@Music-tk5oq]

Duncan's first breakout hit "Barely Breathing" came out & got radio airplay during winter/spring 1997. This was his follwup hit which got radio airplay summer/fall '97. He was classified as a 1 hit wonder with the above mentioned breakout hit which hit #16 in billboard & this was a non charted single

[@nevanmoses7208]

Same hear, it was a beautiful song that was a good soundtrack for 1997. I looked up his song Barely Breathing and this was also recommended. I used to hear this song in Flagstaff Arizona all the time and it go's well with the beautiful backdrop.

[@dp9241lover]

"Sometimes the more you wonder why The worse it seems to get" this is true i love duncan sheik i can listen to him all day

The darkness truly comes, and the darkness goes. Happiness just looks different sometimes.

[@lapistebarbowling8008]

Reminds me of some of Steven Wilson's songs

sounds wonderful. 8-17-20

[@IntuitiveCoachTheresa]

Such a completely underrated artist, but protected from the devil's fame machine.

[@alexmueller5935]

He wrote two hit songs and then wrote the music for three kick ass musicals. All while avoiding the fame machine Mad respect

The 90's music had a groove that was unique in itself.

[@DebNKY]

Well put.

[@juanperezchica650]

Love Duncan Shiek! These are songs that stay with you for life. I remember when I first listened to this song in the late 90s. Just beautiful.

I just purchased tickets to see / hear Duncan perform some of his NEW material with the San Francisco Symphony in April!! ... I had the pleasure to meet Duncan on two occasions - opening for Shawn Colvin in Berkeley, CA, and performing a free concert on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills - and each time he was most gracious to, and so friendly with, all of his adoring Fans! What a NICE man, and a GREAT talent!! ... Good Karma always follows Good People!!.

[@theredheadsaidNYC]

Every five years I remember this album and it still sounds good. This sounds like a different mix than the album

Yes, the album version is more relaxed than this.

[@armandodominguez7514]

One of my most favorite songs ever. Thank you Duncan....

[@slobert1970]

Fantastic song and video. I feel wonderfully melancholy at the moment. This song swims in it in a good way.

This is the composer of the truly great music from Broadway's SPRING AWAKENING!

[@dmcwhorter64]

Duncan Sheik is fantastic. love the music.

[@LionheartVegas]

One of my favorites...love what the guitarist is doing with the hammer-ons and slides...and then there are those mirrors...the song really captures the feeling of "the one who got away" "didn't understand, wasn't ready" ...very dreamy.

[@newmanpenny]

He is as beautiful as his music! Been listening for years but never thought to check out his videos till tonight!

[@BB-hz7sm]

I adore this entire CD. Have loved you my friend since day one. Perfect.

[@DepecheModeGirl4]

It's been 14 years since I seen him at the met cafe in providence. His art has brought me such joy. What a amazing man

[@RAllenTucker]

A musician friend of mine (who is also an incredible archivist and fan of Steven Stills) turned me on to Duncan Sheik and now I can't let the guy go. No flash in the pan gimmickry, outrageous styling and clothes can make music like this. He uses none of that and still rings through to anyone looking hard enough to find the real thing.

[@Round2WhatsNext]

Dude, absolutely. Fuck yeah.

[@DebNKY]

Nice. ❤

[@rudylabsilica2286]

One of the most stylish music videos that came out from that time, and his effortlessly beautiful voice was undeservingly underrated... God I miss the 90s! And I fell in love with him all over again...

[@estedetringham7528]

I wrote as much in another thread. I even used the word, "underrated." He has been nominated for, and won several awards, incl. 2 Tony Awards, a Drama Desk, and a Grammy for "Spring Awakening," and has been nominated for, and won a few others.

I used to be addicted to this album WAY back in the late 90's. Every night I'd come home, clean, light the yummy smelling candles, lay on the couch and listen to the entire Duncan Sheik album beginning to end. Oh, how my roommate HATED my taste in music! His taste still sucks and I still love Duncan, his music just NEVER gets OLD!

[@starpeople1972]

@MNsizzle11 Can't agree more. I found Duncan was extremely talented and I was glad that I got to be 'introduced' to this song and back album in 1997. Especially this song, my tears burst out when I first played it not because I had had any personal experience about what he sang in the lyrics but the music was so beautiful and romantically haunting. God bless Duncan.

[@anndavis2920]

I used to have this album on cd & played it every day, learned all the songs & harmonized with him. I miss this stuff. Barely breathing was my favorite. thank you for this. Im so frustrated & angry today. I need something to calm my nerves. Duncan Sheik is doing the job for me. 8-17-20

[@dashodell]

still dig him 20 years later.

[@finallymadik83]

this song stopped time and made a dimension own it's own, probably that is why that time was decade of blessed creativity among artist. so natural non toxic touch to music. (the're good arranging that acoustic)

[@jsaavedr1]

I first bought this album in 1996 when I was 19. I still listen to it in 2018, considering I'm 41 now. By the way, does anybody know where to get this version again? I had it when I purchased the single years ago but lost it. It's not on the album either.

whole song is great since I first watched video on MTV early 1997 at 3:11 those strings gave an intense, sad ending, as seen in this video

[@Cat-pb9dv]

You may not see the end of it But luckily she comes around It isn't what she talks about It's just the way she is And she says, "Ooh darlin' don't you know The darkness comes and the darkness goes?" And she says, "Ooh babe, why don't you let it go? Happiness ain't never how you think it should be so" I mystified the simple life I covered up with consciousness I saw myself and broke it down 'Til nothing more was left She saw the symptoms right away And spoke to me in poetry "Sometimes the more you wonder why The worse it seems to get" And she says, "Ooh darlin' don't you know The darkness comes and the darkness goes?" And she says, "Ooh babe, why don't you let it go? Happiness ain't never how you think it should be so" She runs away, she runs away And then you know there comes a time You need her more than anything You may believe yours are the wounds That only she can heal Then everything will turn around She becomes so serious What she chose to offer you Was all that you could have And she says, "Ooh darlin' don't you know The darkness comes and the darkness goes?" And she says, "Ooh babe, why don't you let it go? Happiness ain't never how you think it should be so" She runs away, she runs away She runs away, she runs away
