Great song but that might be a bit of a hyperbole 😂

[@Ch4rlz_ThA_Princ3]

​@@josephburney2283only a little bit though. This song is forever attached to the first pretty girl i ever had the balls to make out with when i was 16. Ive done alot of drugs since then, and nothing was as intoxicating as that feeling of uncontrolled puppy love. Its a strange world we live in when feelings become stronger than narcotics.

[@jmack7281]

​​@@Ch4rlz_ThA_Princ3It's 3am. I have insomnia. Just listening & reading comments, and wanted to say, yours is really beautiful & made me smile. Thank you for putting positivity out there! Music is so powerful. What drug can make you have that same rush of good feelings, 5, 10, 20 years later? (Maybe acid? 😉 JK!) I think of certain songs as a soundtrack to my life. Dark Blue is mine & my sons song. 💙 I don't know you but I wish you the best! Keep being positive! It's rare to see these days.

[@kaybaybailey]

I cannot even begin to explain how much I am in love with Jack's Mannequin.

[@josephmillsii6943]

As I watch this, I can't help but think it represents relationships. Everyone starts off together, very attached, full of energy, and they make it look easy. As time goes on, people drop out, either together or one just can't keep going, despite their partner holding on. Some couples drop out faster, easier than others, but in the end the couples either keep staying together, out of shear faith, while others despite not being perfect dancers, the perfect pair, actually choose to take the plunge.

[@allysonrusso873]

I always think of this song when I see the words "dark blue". Every. Single. Time. On a serious note though, I've always loved the lyric "the world could be burning till there's nothing but dark blue." It hits me so hard still. I've loved this song since childhood. Always have, always will.

[@AlexConley]

I was sixteen when this song came on Fuze the first time. That was almost half my life ago. Getting older isn't so bad, but the memories hurt sometimes.

[@cmdann8]

ahhhh good old Fuse

[@MKPYRO312]

I loved Fuze! I was obsessed with music videos. That's how I found Panic! At The Disco, Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance.

[@sergeant_salty]

Dude... Power Fuse, Dedicate Live, Steven's Untitled Rock Show, No. 1 Countdown.. that was the last iteration of music television and I'm glad I was there

[@kadswim]

this is the one song that will never ever ever ever get old. ever.

[@ColinWBeatty]

Something Corporate and Jacks Mannequin were the soundtrack to my late teens all the way through to my mid 20's. I've been away for a long time, but coming back to this song still breaks open my heart. it feels like coming home after being away for years. Thanks for being the album that spun in my discman while i figured out how to be human, Andrew.

[@brandydean1632]

This song is most definitely about a love that can never be broken. Lies, fear, sorrow, and pain have no effect. Sometimes, love is so strong that not even Superman is strong enough to break it. If I were to dedicate this song to anyone, it would be you two. Stay strong, Riahh.

[@novayarussia]

This isn't a top 50 song in human history, but it's unquestionably in the 50 I'd strand myself on an island with

[@countrycookinmama]

I loved this song at 13, still do at 29. Just realized how adorable the video is with the couples holding on to one another trying to keep going😍🥺

[@kansaswasmytime4802]

This is about when he had Leukemia. The shade of the chemotherapy bag was a beautiful hypnotic dark blue. I had it too.

[@lilgolfcaddy]

I took the words more literally. The song is making a beautiful sense of a disaster where the whole world is ending. Dark blue is representing the water that has ingulfed the whole city and death is inevitable but the narrator is looking at the wonderful memories that he made with his significant other and rather than panic he looks at the brighter side of things. Nobody would ever think the water above them that there drowning in is a "perfect shade of dark blue" unless you change perspectives

This song popping in my head after a decade & me remembering how I simply *had* to learn how to play this on piano after the 1st time I heard it.

[@donmarcoantonio2279]

A blast of happy beginnings, slowly turning into hard and slow dance of life. Trying to support each other, until either one dies or worst, gave up.

[@Harleigh_19]

probably my favorite song of all time, i could listen to it forever =)

[@alloakland1]

To me, this video represents how a lot of relationships start off as: fun and exciting, but after being with that person a while, you realize that he/she is not the one. Only a few relationships are meant to last, while a lot of them break down. The hard part is whether the couple has enough strength to fight through those problems and if they do, then they'll go off in their own world together, while leaving their past hardships and pain behind.

[@MrWillyWonka]

This song really only has about 2.5 million views on KZbin? Extremely surprising. Especially given all the other songs on here that have 50-100+ million views. I remember this song being a pretty big hit back when it came out. Definitely remember endless people singing it. Brings back memories. Catchy piano riff and very very good vocals.

[@theofficialepps]

[@SooshiShef]

I love this song. I remember when I was in middle school when it came out and it was great. The song is about true love. As long as you're with the person you love, you'll be able to get through everything. It doesn't matter who's nearby, you and your love only need each other.

I rarely have the urge to watch music videos but I thought about this one, so many years later it still sticks with me. It’s pretty romantic, and sad in a way. All these couples holding each other up, some falling to the ground and the one at the end that just looks completely burnt out. Love this song so much.

[@CptChandler]

AlexxEnglishh honestly man, that feeling should never be abandoned. You should forever romanticize the idea of valuing someone so much that you are alone with them in a crowded room. It doesn’t have to be literal. It might be an abstraction, but it relates to something so real.

[@JustUSasuke]

What I personally got from the vid: Couples are really happy together and both of them are full or life but as time drags on the relationship gets harder to hold on to. The guys try to hold the relationship together but the girls end it (the girls stopped dancing first in the vid) In the end they have to face facts that its over for them and jump into the sea to be sweeped away by the current into diff directions. Such a beautiful piece of art..
