It's great to see so much love for MB20 in the comments here! I always loved this band too, but I can tell ya that back in the time when it was popular, most of my similarly-aged friends (45) on Epinions sure didn't. To them, MB20 was like the poster child for all "wimpy, generic" music and the only good music was in "classic rock" like AC/DC, Led Zep, ZZ Top, etc. They had this tone, this way of making you feel like there must be something wrong with you if you liked this stuff. Which is part of why it's so nice seeing so much positivity here. Like maybe I was OK after all?

This was one of the first songs I ever recognized and took a liking to (I'm 23 now). My grandparents used to watch me before my younger brother was born while my parents worked. This song would always play on MTV and VH1, and I would always make my grandparents tune in to the channel in hopes of catching this as well as a few other favorites at my toddler age. My god, my grandpa who would have been 70 at the time hated rock music but somehow took a liking to this song. He would always be singing it to himself when doing menial tasks. This song always makes me think of him ever since his passing in 2008 when I was 12.

Nothing better than growing up to my mom being into Matchbox Twenty, Lifehouse, Daughtery, The Script etc and now at 19 years old, this is all I listen to! Road Trips was the best listening to 90s/00s pop rock

[@randall5076]

I just recently heard this song after several years and can't seem to get it out of my head!! This and "3am"my favorites by Matchbox 20.👍

[@makenzieseed3907]

Born in 1997. It amaze me that i cannot really relate to modern music but only music from the 90s. LOLZ. Matchbox 20 is one of my favorite bands :*

[@kondrashovoleg]

You rock girl

[@vivienballard391]

I’m the same way. I was born in 1996, was due in 1997

[@ryanlucus1684]

Its because my generation was the last

[@savage30898]

Born in 1964. This is some good music.

[@thekingcobra63]

Best band of the 90's in my opinion.

[@danielordonez6528]

Bruh, we will never, ever witness music like this. Good old days.

[@GabeReal9009]

Yup, 90's Alt Rock was on another level.

[@Malfeason]

I miss it so much. God I miss it.

[@istankimjong-unbutcantstan3398]

You won't but others will. It's all subjective. I had a music revival at 52 when I had thought I couldn't fine any newer music enjoyable a decade earlier.

[@danielordonez6528]

​@@istankimjong-unbutcantstan3398 Yeah NOT like this though. Real authentic talent like they use to be. Songs with meaning and passion. You really don't see it THAT MUCH.

[@GimiAdollaR]

My dad’s Favorite band. Figured I’d stop by and give thanks. 🙏🏼 rest in paradise Pops

[@Crayolapup]

Childhoods spent playing in the dirt rolling down hills, getting grass stains on our clothes, trying to make it home before it got too dark to get home alone, chewing on ouch gum, good times. :'(

[@daytondaytona4624]

[@stevebellows7314]

Before anyone knew how to find u on facebook or a cell phone.... freinds had to call the house phone to find u or ride there bike over to go look for you. These days everyone is up eachothers buissness. I miss the the simpler life gunna shit my phone off for a week see whi freaks out

[@USMCTexan]

At 33 all I can say is jeez, we sound like the people who say the same about Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones now hahaha

[@tenayegilligan1488]

The 'yourself or someone like you' album will always be my most favorite album of all time.

[@maggiehernandez4154]

I really feel what this group puts ,every word, of it and the rhythm and beat uplifting when in low spirits.

[@michaelp2776]

Love Matchbox Twenty. This is my favorite song. Always loved Rob Thomas' voice. Cool video too.

[@surfboyhawaii]

You may be cool but you never be Rob Thomas walking through a bowling alley with a camel cool.

[@ahhwe-any7434]

Marshall Schroeder you maybe cool but you'll never walk through a bowling alley w/ a camel toe

[@jasonthebeefy]

Best comment ever haha

[@kevinlee6003]

It's randomly epic. Only he can pull that shit off lol.

[@GLING17]

LOL! Good one! I love it! :)

[@TimeTellsNoLies90]

Him doing it with the Matrix filter turned up to 11 also helped with the coolness.

[@LostCause36]

Everyone criticizes the late nineties music period, but there was some good stuff like this going on then. And they’re still good songs today. I used to keep my FM radio on all day and just let Korn, Everclear, Matchbox 20, Creed etc just play 24-7. Those were good times man..

[@TheRealMaxWolf]

This is my favorite Matchbox Twenty song!! I love the riff at the beginning and during the chorus

[@debrahabian361]

This is from one of my favorite albums. I NEVER tire of it.

[@denisesatx]

Happy 2021 Everyone! This brings me so many memories of my younger years. I remember watching this music video on MTV, I loved this song! It's sad how fast time passes, time is such a thief♥️

[@joejohnson1213]

Back when MTV actually played MUSIC videos...

[@scottwalup2992]

High school just come back to life😮

[@stop08it]

I still love this song so much. it's just great and never gets old. And yes it makes me nostalgic as hell! I also forgot how cute Rob Thomas was.

[@miss2190ed]

I am glad I refound this... Takes me back to a very precious version of me from the past. 💚 She was carrying so much hurt, almost broke so many tes, almost quit life once but pushed through. And now we are healed and are reconnected with love, care, strength, wellness and existential bliss.💚💚💚Music heals!!!

[@lisastanton6553]

i just listened to this for the first time ever. Huh... in my youth I was at Venice Beach with an old friend Arthur... perfectly clear and sunny bright day. Arthur asked me "do you want some rain?" I answered "yeh why not!" His reply was that rain began to fall. How and why?!

[@chrislagos44]

classic tune..always with me ..just when i was about to graduate high school...how time flies..memory trip

[@alexmcmillan945]

This was one of my Dads favorite songs of all time. He passed away due to alcohol complications Dec 18 2018. There are only a few songs that make me think of my father, and this is definitely one of them.

[@MoriahDiane]

Still finding comfort in this song... so many years since my first listen! ❤️‍🩹

[@OliverThreats-fr2ri]

This is still one of favorite albums of all-time after all these years

[@MrJuliesguy]

This album (or cd) is incredible but it came out during the darkest days of my life and each time I hear one of these songs, it brings back horrific memories...people say forgive and forget but I can't let it go...I'll stop whining now but I wish the real world would stop ruining great albums.

[@11THEW0RD11]

If you forget and forgive you'll be in such a great mind set its hard to do to but just do it trust me ur life will change drastically

[@chadryan7568]

Truth is you can only forgive never forget. Forgiveness is for yourself not the other person

[@MrJuliesguy]

Sounds legit when you say it like that

[@Everybodysbroken5]

Iron Feliks I know what you mean, I was going through some really rough stuff when this came out, but it helped me through. I also discovered the Goo Goo Dolls around the same time

[@lynetteclarke8059]

let go for yourself no one else life is too short!!

[@katrinamiller3297]

Who's still listening to this awesome band in January 2020?????

[@PaulaUCLA]

Please don't change, please don't break

[@RainielPalacio]

true theire meaningful lyrics hit you on the spot if you can relate though.

[@joeboredom]

I got into a fight in high school with some underclassmate and after we made up he told me he was listening to Matchbox twenty. So at lunch I listened to their entire first album and I have been into them ever since.

[@ameliaosborne6378]

Every single time they perform this song at a show-it’s amazing!!! ❤❤❤

[@coondogg729]

This is one of those bands that defined the 90's that are thankfully still around. I got to see them last year in concert. I highly suggest if you get the chance to see them to do so. they were awesome!!

[@GabeReal9009]

I remember when this was on TRL every day. Fuck I'm getting old..😒

You and me both bro!!

[@JinXPhantom]

This song applies to my life and I guarantee every adult. I wish they made more songs like this now!

[@beckryan434]

Not only adults. it applies to me even, i'm 12, by the way. Anyone who understands the real world, really. Sadly, most adults don't even. Such sadness. It's usually those who hassle. It's the real world...

[@RealTime88]

Me too!! That whole album from 1996 has that feel. I bought it tonight for 5 bucks. It sounds amazing!!

[@kphoenix137]

Funni Bunni "I'm 12 and understand the real world" topkek

[@beckryan434]

kphoenix137 I had to deal with global problems and an insanity that reached to high limits. My parents were very open to me and told me what people were doing. 'Ell, I'm involved in politics, can develop my own personal mindset, have lost great ones, helped others and asked for nothing in return, and I can absolutely see everything in a view you wouldn't dare to imagine. I study constantly on everything, I meditate on it, and I look into it. I've even got law problems on my back, but I believe in rebellion, and I believe in fighting for it. SO yes, I understand the real world, despite my youthful age. And I believe in fighting for rights depicted upon intelligent mindsets, and changing the 'real world" into a better place. A utopia awaits in this cruel world, burning to the ground if we change it around. :)

[@kphoenix137]

Funni Bunni If you really understood the world, you wouldn't have responded to my post. Instead to you typed up a paragraph. Who are you trying to convince: Me or yourself?

[@garywendeln7114]

Matchbox 20 started during the prime of my life. Here I am at 62 and still diggin it !!!

[@mike3813]

Same here

[@stangerling9412]

This sounded very ahead of its time! I thought it was released in the late 2000's

[@mamumaumau3320]

I say that these guys really found the elusive sweet spot with this album. It is hard drivin rock and roll mixed with rich brown sugar.

[@RROD1978]

♥️♥️🥰🥰🥰 I'm still listening in 2020. I was really young back in the 90s . Time flies but this song brings back memories. Matchbox y'all rock!!!

Don't change. I am who I am. Been bruised and scared

[@aaronharlow2137]

The 90's was a really shitty and depressing time. Bands like Matchbox 20, Third Eye Blind, No Doubt, Wallflowers, Fastball, Smash Mouth, and a bunch of others helped make it more bearable

[@korymillett6455]

What are you crazy??? NOW is a really shitty and depressing time. The 90's were great times.

[@aaronharlow2137]

I meant for me personally.
