The thing about this song is it was SO overplayed on the radio in the early 2000s, that even people who liked it eventually hated it. This is the same thing that happened with bands like Creed and Nickelback. It's not that they were bad, they were just forced upon you every 20-30 minutes by one platform or another. But once you've gone a decade or so without hearing them, and your wounds have healed, you start to appreciate those songs again. This is a great song. It was just mainstream doing what it does and ruining a good thing.

[@Nastyn1nja808]

lol damn Radio!!!!!!

[@auralfixxation6702]

And years later, this song still moves me.

[@cassianfalkener3706]

Same, but in the other direction, I suspect. If this were a "we just met" song, it would be amazing. It's definitely catchy, and the singer can sing. But the lyrics in the verse always gave me the impression that he cheated on her and is trying to win her back. If she's the reason he needed in order to turn his life around, why'd he do whatever things (yes, plural) that hurt her so much. I know relationships aren't all perfect, but this always came across to me as being too excessive for him not to have done something really, really awful to her.

[@Emilie-one]

Incubus Drive is one of my favorite songs

[@a3gill]

Morning View Sessions is incredible. I go back and watch it often.

[@ginajackson7499]

Absolutely!

[@ronsissons8994]

Hoobastank and Incubus grew up in Agoura Hills and Calabasas CA. and Mike Einziger took their demo and helped them get signed and they also toured a lot together.

[@Shintareth]

Warning was a great one as well!!

[@woodzy883]

Saw Incubus and hoobastank in Roanoke va as my first cincertt ever, hoobastank had just released so before this album came out. Drive was the encore song

[@mandysummerlin1510]

I cry every time I hear this song. It was one of my best friend's and my favorites right before she died in a car accident. And everywhere I went that day this song was playing.

[@belindag8116]

Aww bless ❤️❤️

[@Shintareth]

May she Rest in Peace!! 🙏

[@IsaacDDuke]

So sad

[@offroadkitty6218]

isn't that ironic considering the music video..

[@mandysummerlin1510]

It is ironic and sad. Thank you so much. She left behind a 4 year old daughter who is grown now. It's been awhile and it's still hard. Since that moment I've lost both grandparents, both of my parents, my step dad, my aunt and uncle. Then recently my best friend was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. So keep me in your prayers.

[@lostlothbrok7156]

This was their big big song back in the day but the song that brought them to the dance was Crawling In The Dark, great underrated band ❤

[@BrandonWestfall]

This song has a BILLION views. That's far from underrated.

[@offroadkitty6218]

The songs of theirs that play in my head from time to time are Out of Control and Inside of You.

[@iron_rush_theater1246]

The band has always been so underrated.

[@BrandonWestfall]

This song has a BILLION views. That's far from underrated.

[@robertcherman]

Not where I am from.

[@ThePositive0ne1]

@@BrandonWestfall I don't think you're understanding what he means by underrated. I think he is meaning that while it was popular people didn't truly appreciate it for how good it actually is.

[@anab4488]

This song is so cool that never gets old. Already a classic.

[@joshhanson6538]

There's a music video for their song Same Direction. There's two music videos, but one which is a sequel to The Reason. Its called "Same Direction (The Sequel)." Different style to this but an awesome song and one of my favourites of theirs with great lyrics.

[@Randomninja47]

Hoobastank got dunked on a lot growing up and I never really got why. They got some frickin bangers. I really like their song "Just One"

[@PugLifeProductions]

Oh man that brought me back, the self titled was full of bangers and the reason had some too 👌

[@kevinehle6637]

This is on my forever playlist. 2000s iconic song.

[@audivawalsh2983]

23 years ago I met a man 3 days after I'd kicked my ex-fiancee out of my life. It was a horrifyingly bad relationship and I was seriously part-feral. I met this new man and he was educated, so tolerant of my terrible use of English and I did some hurtful things to him, not realising that he was a keeper. Thankfully this song came out and helped me understand my feelings. I'm still with that man today, and this was my dedicated song to him.

[@tamiramos5873]

This is my mom's favorite song...and she is almost 76 years old. Its very catchy.

[@luxleather2616]

omg I still love this song even though haven't heard it in forever....it still gets me in the feels....react to the video above Avril Lavigne....people used to & still do sometimes bash Creed like they do Nickelback but the lyrics in their songs are deep....give them another chance....'With Arms Wide Open' & 'Higher' & 'Rain' are good songs that uplift since you've been listening to sad songs....yes Hoobastank its early 2000's....I love 'Drive' from Incubus

[@sgholt]

The older I get the music always brings me back to the past....the feels, :')

[@BrandonWestfall]

I feel like What If would be more up his alley.

[@thebronzetoo]

One of my fav songs from the early 2000's.

[@shakedhartman254]

I love the BP discovering the 90's journey and I'm here for it.

[@user-ik7uw7gh7e]

This is one of my all time favorite songs from the late 90's 00's

[@HeavyTopspin]

The best thing about this reaction is the strings on your shirt hanging so that it says "define your elf".

[@trenchy1990]

There was quite a few 'car accident' MV's in the early 00's. This was one of them. My personal fav would be Alive by POD.

[@DanaStout72]

This song for me is about my Sons after their Mother and I split up many years ago now. I can't hear this song without my eye leaking, so powerful.

[@erinwhite1077]

The fact that you loved this song and made the link to Incubus made me smile 😀 the crazy thing is that the lead singer of both bands are related and grew up together ... Cousin love and the toured together back when they first came out

[@rexwaterbury513]

Another one involving a car accident in the video that I find really good is 3 Doors Down - It's Not My Time

[@Emilie-one]

I love 3 doors down

[@TheWhiteBruceLee]

This song breaks my heart but I love it. One of my ex’s played it in her car one day and I’ve loved it ever since

[@wyattfett5760]

This song definately on my playlist! I actually ❤ Creed now more than back in the day his voice Scott Stapp is something else 👍 👌

[@christinawilliams]

I love this song. Give it a listen again without watching the video.

[@essac1]

I would love for you to react to the song "Rise above this by Seether" It is about shaun morgan's (the singer) brother eugene who committed suicide and the song is just so beautiful.

[@BigAl0311]

Yes please

[@BrandonWestfall]

Hoobastank has so many hits and the videos never disappoint.

[@mil2k11]

This song had a great vibe when I first heard it. It's been on my "playlist" for nearly 20 years. I probably downloaded it the same time I did Boulevard of Broken Dreams from Green Day and 100 Years from Five For Fighting.

[@darcieturner5423]

This is the song I used to sing to my daughter when I first became a mom back in the day xo

[@nikita8370]

Ah, this was quite my anthem for a while... forever list ❤

[@texasron9131]

This is a great tune! Always scream along with it in the car.

[@MemphisBasketball1]

Their song Crawling in the Dark is a BANGER and probably their best song

[@8cylinderstolife737]

There’s a SICk Live video of Creed in the early days doing their song “What If” in a Practice session at a concert before the actual show and no one is there. To understand how hard a song goes, you need to watch that. It’s Truly Epic!

[@PML78]

Good song I believe it was in SCREAM 3 but it does go hard 🤘🏽😎

[@blakemcelrath54]

The 90s & 00s had some of the best alt rock ever. It was the season of the 1 hit Wonder 🤘

[@ryantrone4140]

Did you not listen to succeeding albums and just listen to the radio? Some of these bands had great sophomore albums and beyond. The creed song he mentioned that he listened to wasn't even off of their first album. As an example, they had multiple hit songs on at least three albums. The poppier stuff, sure, a bunch of one-offs. Maybe a second song here and there...but radio-played out and done for them. But many of the real bands built decent catalogues.

[@aliselynch]

Incubus, the interstellar band, is FULL of really incredible, lyrical and always relevant music. Such a classic and influential rock band now. All of their Morning View album is a forever playlist but only the tip of their ice berg. Would LOVE to see some incubus over here

[@aura81295]

"I know Cold Play right?" I have been to quite a few concerts in my days including a few big stadium performances of some of my favorites like AC/DC, Bon Jovi, and Prince. I saw Cold Play with my son at the Atlanta Stadium in June of 2022. I literally had trouble standing up because the energy in the building, even with the roof retracted, was so epic! If that is the last concert I ever see, I feel like I saved the best for last. "Fix You" is probably my favorite Cold Play song if you would like a starting point.

[@amybrenton8659]

Coldplay is not a concert. It’s an experience.

[@ordinaryvalley]

This takes me back to highschool immediately 😢 ❤❤

[@crystalmesser9949]

this is on my play list listen to it all the time

[@jaykarimi7123]

This song came out on Released on January 26, 2004. The other band you are thinking of is Incubus. Also an amazing band with a phenomenal singer & lyrics. Interstellar love song is one of my fav from them as well. This song is 1000% on the forever playlist. I'm not a Hoobastank fan but i LOVE this song. It's simple yet deep & very melodic if you listen to all the production elements.

[@melissafortuin9500]

Love this song 🎵 lyrics are meaningful

[@vivgoodreads7711]

Love this song! My son was born the year it came out and I would cry every time singing this to him (hormones are a crazy thing!).😂

[@kristinabushnell3652]

One of my fav songs ever!! Great reaction. 😊

[@justincurtis9084]

This song. In December 2003, I was getting ready to propose to my long-term girlfriend, but she dumped me because I had become an embarrassment - just graduated from college, but promptly laid off from my first job, so I was living in a city where I knew almost no one and working at a store in the mall to scrape by. Several months of personal chaos followed. Then I get a call from a girl I met at a summer job several years before and had hung out with a couple times doing dumb teenager stuff. She starts the call with, "I don't know if you remember me, but I have a beautiful baby daughter, and she has your eyes." More chaos. Then I met my 3-year old daughter for the first time. This song was all over the radio, "I've found a reason to start over new, and the reason is you..." That hit me. Fast forward. I've been happily married to that girl I barely knew for 18 years, and my baby is about to graduate from college. Every time I hear this song, I go straight back to where it started.

[@JayZFranks83181]

I think of my children when i hear this❤

[@luckyrobinshomestead]

I about wore out that CD. This was my favorite song for about two years. Came out in 2003.

[@KeithDCanada]

On the topic of ultra cool videos..... One of the MOST creative and beautiful videos I have ever seen is "Gravity" by Sara Bareilles. Whoever conceived of that video should win an award.

[@reneerocha1796]

Great song again from Hoobastank! 😊I just you to know!

[@MaRoach7]

I always loved this song

[@ronnydowdy7432]

😮 This is new to me. I have never heard this before and I agree with you. I liked this.

[@thedominator87]

check out their video for same direction, its actually connected with this video as both a sequel and prequel to this as it picks up where this ended

[@user-ik7uw7gh7e]

Thank you, thank you and thank you

[@joshuamasserant8215]

Hoobastank are Incubus little brother because they captured nearly the same sound when they came out. Lots of killer songs from both bands that were on the radio a ton starting 20-25+ years ago.

[@StevelandCleamer]

I saw Hoobastank like two years ago when I was stationed in Hawaii they did a show for us on base at Pearl Harbor. It was actually sick. Crawling in the Dark is a banger!

[@johnnymayweather7476]

Simple plan- perfect !!! If you like this, bands like Simple plan, Incubus, Sum 41 and Good Charlotte are worth checking out because their all similar plus it's all the same time period in rock radio hits

[@coreymartin-wk1fi]

Tonic- You wanted more. This joint is right down the same alley.

[@PML78]

IF YOU CAN ONLY SEE is my jam from Tonic 🤘🏽😎

[@fazloe]

this is an all time great song and deserves to be on a forever play list. It was always on mine.

[@rodoxag9117]

Now you must see the sequel to this video, "Same Direction"

[@TheGamehorn]

Make sure to watch the sequel music video to this. It is for a different Hoobastank song called Same Direction that will absolutely amaze you

[@faithmiller7410]

Love this song so much

[@ShortyRock801]

Out of control is a great song by them as well

[@jerrishook7783]

Thank you for explaining that video! I never quite understood it! 😂

[@Vessellove77]

One of my all time favs

[@iveyfernandes8053]

My comment is not about this video, but I think a rabbit hole you may find worth jumping into is The Tesky Brothers. I just heard them for the first time a couple days ago, and I was completely blown away. Rain is a great song. Love Her With a Feeling is another great one. I think you'll really like them. Otis Redding fans absolutely love them. Check it out.

[@pomax1464]

fuck yeah, hoobastank is underrated

[@user-fk2is1bf3e]

The song is definitely fire ! The video could’ve been a great movie

[@rbpattersons81]

This song always makes me think of my kids. From where I was, to where I am today.

[@stevehamilton8824]

Excellent song!

[@Nateoutside]

This has always been such an underrated song! Musically and vocally it's really good!

[@phillipthornton8106]

i seen them chevelle and nickleback at tally civic center been a fan ever since they are very good live.

[@BGNewsReporter]

This is one of those polarizing bands - lots love em, lots hate em.

[@eriklarson9137]

The sound of crows instead of doves at the beginning will never not be amazing.

[@katrinakent1684]

Oh, I love this song!!! 😁

[@Malcontentus]

The Reason is one of those albums that I will play all the way through. No bad songs on it.

[@-_gusion_-_-legends_-9266]

Legendery song.

[@moodyblues1273]

You should watch the video for their song 'Same Direction'. It was set as both the prequel and the sequel to "The Reason' video. Better to understand what happened.

[@snoodlegirl1794]

Cold play. Hypnotise. My fave. I think you watched yellow

[@sourgir-wh6xd]

❤ You should check out their 20 year anniversary redo of this song. He still sounds amazing❤

[@realbuckybarnes1753]

Yes more 🔥🔥

[@snoodlegirl1794]

One my songs. End of innocence

[@Angel-rq3pi]

Watched an interview with the band a long time ago. Interviewer asked about their name. Apparently they were sitting around trying to think of a name. Hoobastank came up. They started using it. Then...The Reason. Singer said they'd regretted it since bc it was a stupid name. Lol

[@snoodlegirl1794]

I like this song

[@nathanclarke2777]

This is a damn good song!

[@mygoogleaccount1648]

Black Pegasus, pleased to meet you, again, i didnt ever say it before but ive been a musician for the past 29 years and i just wanted to suggest a band that never didnt make it....and they have a few songs on youtube and one i definately suggest is a song called Joining a Fanclub, please check it out......

[@lacyInmon1978]

I remember when this song came out and I think it is a really good song. His voice is absolutely amazing

[@brobaklat]

Falling in Reverse came out with an extreme hard rock song called Ronald. It is so extreme you need to have the CC clicked if you want to know what he is saying 🤣

[@craigaulenback4862]

The group is in fact Incubus. You nailed it on the head. They have so many amazing songs.

[@humeyboy]

That is like saying the Foo Fighters are Nirvana! 🤨

[@craigaulenback4862]

@@humeyboy what? He was trying to remember who sings the song Interstellar. And then he said he thinks it's Incubus. So I said the group is in fact Incubus. Because Incubus in fact does sing Interstellar. I never implied that Hoobastank is Incubus because Incubus is far better than Hoobastank and they are nothing alike if you ask me.

[@zgSH4DOW]

You almost fooled me Incubus was used in the Halo 2 soundtrack, and Hoobastank's The Reason was used during the E3 montage in Halo 2 behind the scenes. If what I THOUGHT you said was true, that would've explained everything

[@Zayfae]

damn unc this becoming my favorite reaction channel just from that BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWNNNNNN bhahahah

[@Ontheroxxwithsalt]

The thing about your channel that keeps us coming back is living through you discovering the songs that color all of our experiences for the first time. The feeling of hearing that song that is "our song" or "my jam" or the song we played before every game to get pumped or the song our mom danced around the kitchen with us in her arms and now she's gone. Everybody remembers the first time they heard the melody or recognized the lyrics that described them or their place and time in life and we watch with a kind of envy as you relate our songs to your life and it's magical. The tears you have when you speak of being a good dad. The love and hope for your relationship. Thoughts of your parents when they were where you are now and you were just a kid and their hopes and dreams for you. Music is a love language. We all speak it. But nothing can bring people together so completely as a perfect song that everybody can relate to. It's great you decided to walk this path. Not many people do this type of review. Many listen and they comment. But you take in the meaning and you allow your heart and mind to open up and you SEE and HEAR what some people never do. Anybody can listen to music and enjoy it. But you have a real gift for discovering music. There is a difference. Nice job! I'll be back as long as you continue! Also, You are leaving an amazing legacy for your babies that they can go back to as they grow into adulthood and they can see who you were and where you were at a time in their lives that they will only remember snapshots of. They will be able to go back and see what music made you truly excited and what you related to them and some of those songs will be ones they relate to you and your love of them and their mom and grandparents. It's very powerful to see a song you never knew your child ever heard of and it's in their playlist next to "Dad" with a heart emoji. Amazing!

[@Milehighsnake98]

I had to look it up because I always wondered. "Hoobastank" is a mispronouncing of a german word that basically means "sneakerhead". The singer came on an interview just before this song came out that said "basically we own a lot of shoes".

[@carlavalecko5955]

They are really good in concert also. I actually got to meet them during their band camp concert tour and they are genually nice guys.

[@runyunhyde4373]

Hoobastank was the drummers last name I believe. Their debut album was heavier. Check out crawling in the dark

[@Nodoubtaboutit1977]

i got to meet them before they blew up they played at house of blues in Myrtle Beach. Great guys Great Band

I guess the song you are referring to is Incubus - Stellar from the morning view album, one of the best rock albums from that era, grettings from Mexico!

[@sugmanutz]

one of the best classic songs that gets u no matter what
