Sister Hazel - Champagne High

[@wadewiggins1928]

One of the most underrated bands of the past 20 years easily

[@suzannemichellefrench4970]

You are so right!

[@metallicajames26]

Damn straight. Hazelnut for life!!

[@eeeeemeeee9047]

Correct! I'm introducing my kids to them in 2 weeks. They're coming to my small town to do a concert and I'm so excited. Easily my favorite band to see in concert

[@sixsentsoldiers]

Underated? Hell they had there time. Hits. What else you want? Especially in a time the music industry was drawing its last breath.

[@hollihaddock6106]

Totally agree

[@kayelle4]

That background "high" harmony at 4:00 has lived in my head rent free for ages.

[@mtoussaint5395]

Same girl same. I believe that's the Indigo Girls singing. Such amazing voices!

[@0hdannyboy]

Emily Saliers of Inigo Girls. It is great harmony

[@rmrfbucket]

I always stop everything and listen to the background singer during the bridge at 3:03 and it still gives me chills!

[@SunnyBloxOG]

This song is SO incredible and one of the best songs ever written. The tight harmonies and passionate lyrics create amazing melodic intricacies that very few songs ever find. The rich timbre of Ken's voice, Drew's harmony and the driving beat during the bridge is total and complete musical genius. I have been a Hazel Nut for over 20 years and every time I hear this song, I fall in love with this extraordinary band all over again. I could listen to this song every day several times and never, ever get tired of it. Absolute musical bliss.

[@tayoriginal4067]

This one and Your Winter! Ugh I love them.

[@erikmolineaux911]

Saw Sister Hazel with Gin Blossoms and Tonic...one of the best concerts I've ever seen. This is my favorite song by SH...great lyrics

[@ParentalAlienationSupport]

Jealous....love those bands

[@markpate9519]

Never seen the gin blossoms but I saw tonic at oak mountain in Birmingham Alabama and saw sister hazel at the University of alabama on hackberry lane.i would have loved to see the gin blossoms.man I miss this time and music.it came and went so fast.kinda bums me out but at least I have the memories of great times back then

[@ParentalAlienationSupport]

@@markpate9519 I was going to school at UAB in the late 90s. Wish I would have hit those concerts.

[@markpate9519]

@@ParentalAlienationSupport oh ok I was 20 in 96 living in gardendale.i caught a lot of concerts back then.the foo fighters,bush,7 mary 3,fuel,3 doors down.the south side music hall which wasn't far from uab was a place that had good bands back then.107.7 the x brought good bands also with concerts at oak mountain.man Birmingham was a great scene back then.not to mention good x and lsd was everywhere lol

[@DanielBowens]

Holy shit bro. That sounds absolutely epic. What year was this?

[@tylerwhite2006]

A buddy of mine walked up to me in a Sister Hazel T-shirt, and I made a comment about him being the only person i've ever seen in my life in a Sister Hazel t-shirt. He asked if I listened to them, and I said no, outisde of "All For You" which everyone jnows. Now here I am, checking them out, and loving every song.

[@markpate9519]

Damn that's cool I had a sister hazel t shirt I got when I seen them at the University of alabama.it was cool as hell had the mad hadder and the alice in wonderland kinda deal on the back

[@zippyzipster46]

I don’t have T-shirt but I remember when their music came out and listening on the radio. Love their stuff. Hope they keep playing out there.

[@FairytaleOfNY]

This epic song and Sister Hazel as the legendary late sportscaster Stuart Scott would say, are "Cooler than the other side of the pillow!" R.I.P. Stuart Scott

[@demonangel00]

thank you sister hazel for Literally saving my life in high school (03') as well as making my recovery from depression so much easier. you are absolutely incredible, and i've introduced everyone i possibly can to your incredible talent! keep being awesome :)

[@Angelynn77]

Stuart Scott will be missed, greatly. Icon, trailblazer and inspiration. Thank you for the memories, Stu.

[@mizzoupatriot8814]

He is a legend and one of the best sportscasters of all time. RIP Stuart Scott.

[@OilonmySkrimpys]

One of the best songs ever written!

[@flipfinish]

Miss the days when music had soul and nobody stared at their damn phones all day

[@Jenufir]

Saw these guys in 2001 ~pre 9/11. They were amazing. They have beautiful lyrics, beautiful voices, Ken has beautiful eyes, and they were all gracious at the meet and greet. I don't know if back then they were considered "Southern Rock, Folk Rock, Jangle Pop", and Alternative. I don't quite understand any of those titles other than Alternative. Might be in some of their other music that sounds folksy, or extremely southern. I've always wondered if 9/11 kind of changed what we listened to at the time, because these guys had a lot of hits out when I got to see them. They should have been huge, but I feel they were truly underrated. So glad to see that they're still around. Thanks for the memories, fellas. :)

[@jeffharry9675]

I suggest, just like Steve Forbert, they be classified Americana, .. a blend of influences.

[@annacabana12]

This song just reminded me of a boy I loved so deeply in high school. Holy smokes does it make me emotional.

[@IAMHIGDON]

I completely agree. Haven't heard this in many years. But saw Sister Hazel play this live in 2008. It's so nostalgic an still hits me just the same. Hope life turned out beautiful for you an this song at least brings happy memories more then any others.

[@Jaqen-HGhar]

by far one of the best live shows I've ever seen and yes they remind me of that time as well

[@ronaldperry279]

What were you doing fallen in love when you were in high school? I mean honestly do you think that was a good idea? The reason I ask is because I have a daughter in high school thats also pretty and I know how boys are but I want her to do right, I would appreciate a an answer

[@julieboodie]

This is the most beautiful and heartbreaking song. One of my all time favorites.

[@jennifercuomo]

How was this 23 years ago? One of those songs you forgot about. But still great. Cool video too. Love

[@markpate9519]

Man late 90s in Birmingham Alabama was like a second home to sister hazel.never forget seeing them at the University of alabama on hackberry lane.damn them were some good times

[@JasonSmith-we5ls]

I’ve dug this song out so many times over the years. This tune speaks to me like very few songs do. Pretending to be happy for the love of your life marrying another dude is hard, in fact it’s not possible. Human nature tells us to be selfish and want her for yourself. Feelings like this cant be hidden and don’t just go away. “Toast to the future, but that’d be a lie” is a line that perfectly sums up the feeling. You just gotta let it burn.

[@Wyopainter]

Was fortunate enough to see these guys in Casper, Wy in Nov. It was really cool to see how they interacted with their fans. Pictures, singing with fans for cell phone videos and just really involved. It's what it's all about ! Now being in Wyoming its not your 90s crowd or a big crowd. But they still rocked it ! Thank you coming !!!

[@MagmarFire]

As highly nostalgic as this song is for me (having loved this song for years and years), this is the first time I've actually seen the music video. I know that the song wasn't exactly the happiest in the world, but to see the wedding/atmosphere in the video be dark and melancholic as opposed to happy and optimistic that the world usually shows us... Dang. I never knew. Awesome stuff. Best band ever.

[@Charles-d2x]

Idk how this band didn’t succeed I was banging my head to this band when I was 7 and still doing that at 15

[@IVYivester]

this song is about a guy who is still in love with his ex-girlfriend, he never thought he would be so deeply in love with her but he is. its her wedding day with someone new hence when he says i never thought it would hurt just to hear i do. and he talks about her love life being complete while his his empty that is also why he says he will smile and go because on the outside he will be happy but on the inside he is hurting. he knows he has lost the girl of his dreams to another man

[@garyschneider4052]

Love it...truth

[@hgbugalou]

To me its more about a female friend you had for a long time and at some point you both knew something was there but you never made the move for whatever reason (to busy working, moving to college, didn't want to be tied down, etc). In the case of this song he was focuses on his band (while I'm still gone for the quest for my song). Eventually she moved on and after time and reflection you realize you loved her and she was incredibly special to you then only to find out shes married or getting married now. It's a song about if you truly love something you let them go, and if they are happy you don't let you own personal sadness obstruct it. The reason I am so sure its not about an actual ex is there are lines in the song that that allude to it just being a friendship. eg: "I wasn't looking for a life time with you", "I never thought it would hurt just to hear I do and I do". Then in the second verse it just alludes to time passing a friends growing part as their lives diverge.

[@gelgabate844]

@@hgbugalou I agree. That line "where will I be when I stop wondering why" it says one thing and that is regret for letting the time pass. However, what can one do when the other one had already moved on and settled down?

[@markpate9519]

Yes captain obvious it is lol

[@higuys3783]

Wonder how the guy who wrote this comment is doing this days

[@paulah8085]

Still one of my favorites. I can close my eyes, listening to Ken's voice... instant relaxation. I love it ❤

[@zachrizzo6525]

Ok Kings of Leon definitely listened to some Sister Hazel before starting out

[@sarahm5936]

The word play here is incredible: Your wagon's been hitched to a star, Well now he'll be your thing that's new, Yeah what little I have you can borrow, 'Cause I'm old and I'm blue.

[@cluelessjohnnyy]

The music, the video clip, the late 90s / early 00s feel. What a great song.

[@ryanmcalvey6917]

definitely the height of early 2000s clothing fashion and hairstyles on display (guilty myself!)

[@shireedavis3937]

My hubby sent this to me as a way to tell me he still loved me . i had just gotten out of a 9 yr relationship and he waa dealing with his other baby mama we were together around 7 months then broke up not in a bad way or anything just the moment we were both dealing with alot , well now we are back together getting married and our son is due in 3 weeks and 3 days

[@rb8460]

Great song. Indigo Girls on backing vocals. Just beautifully done.

[@elainejohnston7987]

As far as I know it's just one Indigo Girl: Emily Saliers. I don't think Amy Ray was involved. Awesome song. It's hard to find a unique voice.

[@panda1244]

I would expect nothing less from these guys. They make the most moving music, plus a Stuart Scott cameo. Can't beat that!

[@jenniferbossert2088]

Remember when you couldn’t go anywhere in my hometown Gainesville, Fl without hearing Sister Hazel. Every party, every club, every car driving by was jamming. Damn those were the good days!!! 🍻

[@PinePrince]

It was like that here in Birmingham, Alabama as well! We love some Sister Hazel here! I remember them saying they were from Gainesville,Florida when they performed live on a charity Compilation CD at out Local Rock Station’s studio. Live in the XLounge 107.7 X. Actually I think they recorded songs for two of those CDs.

[@cjnjen2008]

Sister Hazel makes reflect back on a time of life I thought was so hard, but now I see that those days were the best days of my life... Teenage years... A simpler time

[@AmanduhFlawdHog]

I forgot how much I love this guy's voice.

[@wa7019]

Best guitarist I have ever seen. Stood about 10 feet from him! Played this song. Forever Georgia Southern.

[@Vernbubba]

Saw this group in a little town in northern Minnesota called Mountain Iron. They were great!

[@grewebear]

I wasn't looking for a lifetime with you And I never thought it would hurt just to hear "I do" and "I do" And I do a number on myself And all that I thought to be And you'll be the one That just left me undone By my own, hesitation And for the million hours that we were Well I'll smile and remember it all Then I'll turn and go While your story's completed mine is a long way from done. Well I'm on a champagne high Where will I be when I stop wondering why On a champagne high I'd toast to the future but that'd be a lie On a champagne high, high Spring turned to summer But then winter turned to mean The distance seemed right At the time it was best - to leave And to leave behind What I once thought was fine And so real - to me And while I'm still gone On the quest for my song I'm at your - celebration And for the million hours that we were Well I'll smile and remember it all Then I'll turn and go While your story's completed mine is a long way from done. Well I'm on a champagne high Where will I be when I stop wondering why On a champagne high I'd toast to the future but that'd be a lie On a champagne high, high Your wagons been hitched to a star Well now he'll be your thing that's new Yeah what little I have you can borrow 'Cause I'm old and I'm blue And for the million hours that we were Well I'll smile and remember it all Then I'll turn and go While your story's completed mine is a long way from done. Well I'm on a champagne high (so high) Where will I be when I stop wondering why On a champagne high (so high) Toast to the future but that'd be a lie On a champagne high Where will I be when I stop wondering why On a champagne high, high, So high so high you left me undone So high, so high you left me

A great song about being at the wedding of your ex...then all of a sudden all the memories and wouldas, shouldas, and couldas start flooding back to you. Phenomenally well written lyrics and great tune altogether. Should have been wwwaayyyy more popular than it was--Amazing Song!!

[@legnfootluver]

Same holds true for many SH songs, I think..

[@MC-hs4mf]

And the recent tweet "all press is good press" and Sister Hazel doesn't typically attract kidnappers and murders. The trial was so intertwined with love triangles betrayal, and deceit. Makes you lose faith in humanity. It's still a sad story all the way around. Do Christian high school students typically listen to rock?

..these guys should be on tour w DAVE MATTHEWS BAND or something!! ..awesome sound time & time again... KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK

[@JNivTv]

chorus is just amazing

[@dgbassassassin]

@allthingsdie777 I think they like their down-to earth status, with a solid, steady fan base. That way they can live normal lives. unlike commercial musicians that rise to stardom and fizzle out, they built their success on a sturdy foundation, and their fans are extremely loyal. their songs are timeless, with 10-15 year old songs still going strong. They'll never have problems getting work or selling albums. And they will always be gaining new fans.

[@bethgrant2867]

Sister Hazel's Champagne High? These guys are gorgeous! THEY make me hi! thanks for the eye candy..the song's words and music are high- impact and leave me wanting to hear it all over again as soon as it ends! I love it! thanks guys! you rock! xx
