[@abundy1104]

Agreed. But I did enjoy most versions of their songs in Red Rocks. I heard something that his voice had taken a toll on him up until then...Not sure but yeah I like this one too.

@@rossnr100, live performances are the only way to judge true talent. Anybody can mix and edit an album to make it sound good. But can they play it live In front of 100's to 1000's of people and make it better than what you hear on the album? Most can't, only artists with actual talent can.

I have depression, and I’m leaving the school I’ve been at for 4 years in a week. The emotions I’m feeling aren’t really something that can be articulated, but whatever it is. This song speaks to it. It’s nostalgic and wistful and you can hear the pain behind every word. Thank you Goo Goo Dolls for saving my life on multiple occasions

Leave your emotions behind & live your dream

[@urex1717]

I suffered from depression for ten years. Ended up CHOOSING to embrace life. That choice has served me well. Can't tell you how much I love these sappy love songs but I truly do. Also love life but it is indeed a choice. Read Kierkegaard if you are so disposed.
