John Rzeznik - I'm Still Here

[@benjaninja]

I watched this music video as a kid on the Treasure Planet dvd bonus features, now I'm 28 and watching it with my son and crying. Life comes at you fast, but I'm still here

[@cza.rina777]

20 years later, this song still has appeal. John Rzeznik was so underrated!

[@ADD_AJ]

Continues to be enormously underrated. ❤

[@krillep280]

Underrated? He's the lead singer and frontman of Goo Goo Dolls lol. He's not mentioned by his name alone a lot, I'll agree with that, but I wouldn't call him underrated by a long shot :P

[@michellehernandez818]

Learning that Johnny was an orphan by 15 and had to support himself at that point really gives new meaning to the song for me. He probably related to the Jim character and was able to write a song that goes a bit deeper than a lot of the songs that get written for animated films.

[@AK-jw7rx]

It's true. His older sisters helped him though

[@cortinaes]

I am a question to the world, Not an answer to be heard Or a moment that's held in your arms. And what do you think you'd ever say? I won't listen anyway… You don't know me, And I’ll never be what you want me to be. And what do you think you'd understand? I'm a boy, no, I'm a man.. You can't take me and throw me away. And how can you learn what's never shown? Yeah, you stand here on your own. They don't know me 'cause I'm not here. And I want a moment to be real, Wanna touch things I don't feel, Wanna hold on and feel I belong. And how can the world want me to change? They’re the ones that stay the same. They don’t know me, 'Cause I’m not here. And you see the things they never see All you wanted, I could be Now you know me, and I'm not afraid And I wanna tell you who I am Can you help me be a man? They can't break me As long as I know who I am And I want a moment to be real, Wanna touch things I don't feel, Wanna hold on and feel I belong. And how can the world want me to change? They’re the ones that stay the same. They can’t see me, But I’m still here. They can’t tell me who to be, ‘Cause I’m not what they see. Yeah, the world is still sleepin’, While I keep on dreamin’ for me. And their words are just whispers And lies that I’ll never believe. And I want a moment to be real, Wanna touch things I don't feel, Wanna hold on and feel I belong. And how can they say I never change? They’re the ones that stay the same. I’m the one now, ‘Cause I’m still here. I’m the one, ‘Cause I’m still here. I’m still here. I’m still here. I’m still here.

[@darthstarkiller1912]

As a teenager, I wasn't accepted by some of my peers in school due to my autistic personality, but some accepted me although I felt so alone those years. This song I've held in my heart as far back as when I heard it in "Treasure Planet".

There's not a single song from Johnny and the GooGoo Dolls that I can't relate to on a deep level. All of their songs are so personal and they all come from the heart. Its sad that this generation has lost this connection with music.

[@lyrimetacurl0]

[@warrenwright7307]

Braxton Everheart you got me wanting to listen to their music now

[@ryujikazuda]

Um Gen Z kid here, i listened to this song when i was like 2 and my whole life has revolved around listening to music made from 2000-2013 and yeah. All the people in the generation seem to only listen to generic pop music or some garbage like that. I hope some day all this great music gets made again.

[@Rob-lc7ku]

Rediscovered this song after many years. Just so thankful. Parts of this tune move me to tears as it’s so beautiful and meaningful.

[@beagleguitar]

Just love Johnny's vocal performance in this one. It's great all the way through, but it's just epic in the choruses.

[@janlupa772]

[@nomarknemesis1147]

Masterpeice of music, because ill never throw it away...

[@martolives]

It's great to see the younger generations identifying with Johhny Rzeznik and the Goo. Great stuff. Help keep them alive, guys. It's a little known fact that these guys have existed since 1987 and are still together. They may only have 9 studio albums, but the quality certainly makes up for the lack of quantity.

[@SoraRikuHeart]

Great talent, great song, great memories. No matter what they say, we are still here.

[@WRITEfluidity]

I love how I listened to this song when I was young, and back then, I could only think how well it went with the movie. Now that I listened to it again, not only is it my favorite song, but a wonderful band, but I've also heard the words this time around. I feel it's the theme song to so many teenagers, such as myself. So, correction to the one lyric in the song. "I'm alone." Because no, as shown many times below, I am NOT alone. Love the song.

[@miltonconde5871]

You’re not alone ❤

[@itsmonkeytime7888]

I was thinking about this song at work all day and it popped up into my KZbin recommended. That's a crazy coincidence

[@tommybass40]

I've loved the Goo Goo Dolls for a long time but this Johhny song is simply one of the best he's ever written. And it's sadly the most obscure song he's ever written but it deserves all the praise it can get.

Treasure Planet is my favourite Disney movie.

[@LagunaShirogane]

I first heard this song when i was like 15 years old in 2004 from my mother who loved Goo Goo Dolls and this was their frontman Johnny Rzeznik's solo song he did for Disney's Treasure Planet. Its because of my mom that I love Goo Goo Dolls to this day and im 34 years old now. This was one of her favorite songs by them and its one of my favorites as well. A beautifully written song. I seen nearly 20 years ago on the Disney Channel that Disney interviewed Johnny Rzeznik personally about this song and its meaning and so on. It was a Disney Channel special that went on around the time Treasure Planet came out. I know I just contradicted myself or changed up my story it seemed but the interview that Disney did with Johnny Rzeznik didnt play the entire song. Only bits and pieces of it as if they didnt want to completely spoil it.
