It’s great that you are still here Rebecca x

[@andrewlambert7464]

And people have the nerve to say that magic doesn't exist. Too often the magic of music has called me back from a deep dark place. Rebecca, if you’ve never believed someone when they’ve said, “I know just how you feel...” please, please believe me when I say... I do. I live with those thoughts but with the help of beautiful music and stories like yours often a tiny ray of sunshine will pierce the clouds and bring a small smile to my face...#youarenotalone

@Treva Land God damn man, take it down a notch hey? Like holy shit, those things are completely different from what I'm even talking about. But trust me, it's actually hard to find songs like this. I've looked. And I'm telling the truth here. Dick head.

@Treva Land Plus you're literally ranting at a Teenager, calm the fuck down for once you bitch. Godly.

[@nosecandie3890]

Is That a Backhanded Compliment? Why Not Just Discuss What You Enjoyed Most About The Song To Generate Unbiased/judgement Free Conversations | I Don’t Think A True Artist Us Trying To “Mimic” Something That’s Already Been Done. | You Attempted To Devalue Music Artists/Creatives Of Today To Glorify A 1998 Mainstream Hit | This Generation’s Obsession With Preaching Negativity and Disrespect As A New Form Of Giving An Opinion To Generate Likes As Superficial Self Gratification , That You Don’t Receive In Reality Is Problematic. | This Is Why People Don’t Follow Their Dreams. People Like Y’all Unfairly Comparing Them To Your Old School Faves With Devaluing Rhetoric and Insults. | It’s a Mental Disorder And Y’all Should Seek Help. Why Can’t Y’all Just Create Your Own Platforms To Indulge and Negativity. If I Was An Current Artist I Would Feel Attack and Personally Insulted. Keep This Same Energy In Person and See How That Turns Out For U

sad …but very true …i’ll live the 90s and amazing music like this to the grave!

[@mithrandir2171]

Guess if you're an introvert type of person, and that you are not good at making people understand you or the situation you're in, this song really hits you deep. We're always being misunderstood. *The world simply just can't understand* 💔 P.S. This is my all time favorite song.

[@TotoOrlanski]

So true :(

[@Minsoup4]

True

[@kimot79]

I would be classed as an extrovert with an introvert personality I have loved and welcomed a song about who I am

[@christopherjorissen5582]

“Yeah, you bleed just to know you’re alive” is the line that I think about, unfortunately.

[@Goodpizzaa]

I wonder if the song has a real meaning to it for him now. I'm a musician myself and If I were releasing hits like Slide then Iris then just fizzle out yet still being really good and writing one of the most iconic songs of the past generation. I don't know it's the feeling I got from listening to him when he got passionate. Love the band but it sucks when people just know that one.. like I also like blink 182 and everyone says yea i know them! What's your favorite song? "Well I only know all the small things". I know 40 - 50 years from now a lot more people are going to be showing their children Iris then blink 182 though. That's from a bigger blink than goo goo dolls fan, generally speaking, despite this being in my top 3 favorite songs of all time. I feel that same loneliness and Adam's song kept me alive by blink when my depression was at its worst. This one reminds me of what my heart longs for the most. It allows my heart to scream whenever it needs to and nothing can do that more than Iris.

This song means the world to me. I lost my dad 2 years ago, I was only 21. This song just so happens to come on whenever I need reassurance/a sign from him. It has changed my life and has saved it in more ways than one. ❤️

[@red5llaw]

Ciara, bless you. It is sad that your Father is no longer here on this earth with you but I'm glad you got 21 years to learn what type of Man he was and the Love he had for you. I lost my Da, when I was three years old and me Ma just before I turned eight. I break down because I never got to know them when it counted. I can't say I miss them cos they are Strangers. I'm now a Father of 4 and a Grandfather of 3. I wish I had someone just to say "You did good Son, they are Good kids" Ciara please never forget your years with your Dad, it is THE Most valuable gift ever. I wish you Love and Happiness C.

[@rogeranthonyd]

So sorry to hear Ciara. I’m glad this song has changed your life and many others. This song is timeless

This reminds me of a 55 year abuse from my family. I just needed a witness to hear me. Thank god for the people that hear this plead.💕💕

OMG…I am 60 years old and all I needed was one witness also. I don’t know how to say how important that was to hear from some else.💕

[@southilgurl2003]

In 1999, at probably the lowest point in my life, this song came onto the radio just as Eklutna Lake came into view. Both hearing this song and seeing the wide vista of that glacier filled lake for the first time are inexorably intertwined. I sat in my car and just...wept. A cathartic release of every bit of grief, self-loathing, pain, and anger that I had been feeling for the past year. I sat there just a little while longer, composing myself before heading to the stony shore of that deep blue lake reflecting the surrounding mountains back to the sky.

[@Clight22]

Nothing cooler than the whole orchestra playing along with the band

[@golfbbqandwatches]

String section… you’re about 50 musicians short of an orchestra

I am ... it‘s all about „love and hate“, „live and let die“ ... some call it „life“ ... “It was 1997 and I was feeling kinda schizophrenic,” Rzeznik recalls. “My wife and I had just broken up, and I’d met another girl who I was really into. I’d moved from my home in Buffalo, New York, and was living in this hotel. So it was a really manic time in my life. I was looking for something to hold on to.”
