The Wallflowers - The Difference

Music video by The Wallflowers performing The Difference. (C) 1996 Interscope Records

[@christopherkimber7679]

This entire album still holds up almost 30 years later. I remember this came out when I was in 9th grade and everyone raged about one headlight (which I love too) but this song was my favorite. I always had this playing in my portable CD player on the way to school every morning that year. Portable CD players, hows that for a walk back in time. Don’t hit it, you’ll make it skip and scratch your cd. Lol.

[@desireerutten]

Wow, flashbacks. Can you imagine what our kids would think if we were talking about CDs skipping? #classof98

[@planetbetter]

The first 7 songs on this CD are great

[@BigTimeVapor1]

Yeah man, this takes me right back to when I couldn't live without my mom lol! One headlight was amazing, but I had this album in my cd player when I was playing Pokémon yellow on my Gameboy. I wish instrument bands would make a massive comeback!!

[@addiwrki108]

Yea I think I was in 8th Jr High at the time…this song always made u feel happy and upbeat…I remember when this came out I had one of those “nano pets” at the time given as a gift, but had to hide it from ppl at school cause it’d look kinda “girlish” for a dude, so I’d feed and look after the pet between classes by going to my locker in secret for a minute 🤣…I also remember those fat-azz Nokia cell phones at that time that I’d use like a year or 2 later in high school 😂…

[@lukehansen7455]

It's not even 25 yrs old yet. They stopped teaching math to millennials

[@camero2596]

In my opinion, this is their best song! It’s very underrated compared to some other hits, but this one stands the test of time as a really great song!!

[@dogsmith]

Michael Ward ruled. The Wallflowers were never the same in any incarnation. Rest In Peace, bud. What a solo.

You are so right JoAnn...… Love this band

[@marshalljimduncan]

Enlighten me, who underates them?

[@jd6653]

I don't know they were very popular in the 90s for a while 6th Avenue Heartache was my favorite song for years

[@daviddapron4346]

JoAnn Romero yes!!!!!! Jacob was always overshadowed by his dad, even though that understandable it’s sad he never seemed to get enough credit

[@edchiang]

They were never underrated. They were considered as a really mainstream band back in the 90s and tops the mainstream billboard chart.. they were a really important piece of modern rock band. 2 Grammys man, come on.

[@JasonthePunk]

The 90's man. The best and last decade for great music.

[@Resident-biohazard]

One, two boys by the river Down by the water Tellin' riddles in the dark With fireflies under the moonlight Carvin' the insides of a tree with a knife Ever hear the one about the boy's big sister His best friend come along He tried to kiss her [Chorus:] The only difference That I see Is you are exactly the same As you used to be One boy lives in a tower With bow and arrow And the artificial heart With his girl Miad of dishoner He loaded the cannon With a jealous appetite They say that children now They come in all ages And maybe sometimes old men die With little boy faces [chorus] [repeat] You always said that you needed some But you always had more, more than anyone

[@TheHk1966]

This video is soo 90s. The lighting, the crowd shots, the quirky camera angles and zooming. I love it.

[@fabriziomarconato5109]

The 90s were the best decade without a doubt

[@jimkovac915]

This video has a coolness factor of one thousand plus one.

[@seanhash3242]

1997. The year I graduated. I caught so much flak for liking the Wallflowers from all my hip hop friends. But I basically enjoy various genres of music. The 90's truly were a great time to be alive, at least in this Gen Xers opinion

[@karenjatana394]

I graduated from high school in 1996.

[@RickImus]

Like starting a sentence with an exclamation point.

[@patrickmccann9173]

Love this song. It is so damn catchy. Plus that chorus line is great

[@alskndlaskndal]

Probably my favorite song on this album (and that's saying a lot). The lyrics are simple but tell a perfect story. The band is firing on all cylinders on this one. Rock n roll doesn't get much better than this.

[@ja8ames]

This song still sounds absolutely fantastic today. What a great record.

[@Bluegrasshero]

This band kicks ass!!!! Back when music was actually good!!!

[@erickrajniak8424]

My CD player had 5 second skip protection. I splurged for that upgrade. I graduated in 2001, and remember this music at HS parties, driving with nowhere to go and even while in the driveway playing basketball 🏀. I'm 40 now, but sometimes I come across or just remember the music from when I grew up. I just listened to some Counting Crowd, Oasis, Weezer, Offspring, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains and Soundgarden..And can't forget the classics like Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne, Guns and🌹's, Bob Seger, Metallica, Kid Rock and so many more. Listening to this music kinda makes me feel like I'm getting old, but it's worth it because I honestly believe that the 90's had some of the best bands ever. And they have Staying Power. When I'm long gone, along with all of these artists, their music 🎵🎶 will still be around, played regularly and touching every new generation.

[@jmarsh5791]

This song is amazing. It never gets old.

[@werearethedreamteam3724]

Eh, I saw him live last week, and he really seemed like he didn't care how the show turned out. He didn't try very hard to sing very well.

Wanted to reply to christopher but his comments 2yrs ago .so..in9th grade we had 8 track players switching to cassettes no cds 33s..by the time i got a portable cd player the thing drove ne so mad i started recording my cds onto cassettes to go running in sad truth wallflowers was my first soberiety concert saw them last in 12 and still love this dude& his father whom i had previously thought dead..alas stepping back in time..is easier than pushing forward pushing 60!!!..Jakob& his band are inspirational musicians...poetry in motion(i am so not..today painfully limping around!!!)

I miss the 90s. The decade began with me in my late 20s, times were good, people seemed more laid back and the only two things anyone worried about was a has been football player being accused of murder and a president cheating on his wife. Much better decade than the 80s, the 2000s or the 20 teens. And for those of you approaching your 30s, dont get depressed about getting, cheer up. The 30s rock because you survived your teens and 20s.

Nearly twenty years since high school, I look at the number of likes on this song and I'm asking the same question: by is it that not that many people like this song as I do? I know I'm not the center of the universe and the question reeks of entitlement, but I honestly find myself thinking I will be happier if more people like this song. I didn't know I'd still feel this way and I'm just listening to this again over fifteen years later.
