"If You Could Only See" - Tonic // Brite Session

[@franklinrogers6388]

Doesn't lose any power or depth being acoustic, sign of a truly great song.

[@rjr194]

Well put.

[@imarriedabrkfsttaco3737]

Yes! Any song worth a damn,even the heaviest can be translated to acoustic without losing any of the emotion and balls.

[@neemaf829]

Most songs start out on acoustic guitars.

[@manzchristopercadalo106]

He sings well like "griffith" better than ezra.

[@steveanderson6945]

It will ALWAYS be a mark of true talent when a band plays live and its cleaner vocal than the radio edit. Stunning acoustic.

[@brook-mn7zc]

One of those songs you Crank it up when you hear it on the radio

[@aarondelisle7693]

Songs like this drag me right back to the 90s. What a great time. I took it for granted in the moment.

[@mannfamilyMI]

Amen brother

[@twintiersfilmfest1366]

Well said

[@haydenhodges34]

Just an amazing song. Music has declined over the years, but great songs like this get better with each listen.

[@johnwitkowski3910]

You got that right!!!!!😊

[@ronaldlewis3338]

You are absolutely right,very few musicians as myself,a guitarist,have the balls to sit down with acoustic guitars and sound like this.Im a metal musician but I can’t appreciate such!

[@alexgray9565]

Music hasn't declined....you're just not looking at the right places

[@tonywellington7854]

looking at the past as better than today is a sign of weakness

[@ferruscx]

Underrated band and songs

[@trancharlie]

I lived through these times (90's) and it's pretty sad to know that you'll never experience this type of music ever again. Truly a gem and should be put in a time capsule for the sake of humankind (especially these times nowadays) lmao

[@smkruzik]

this was uploaded 9 years ago. Why am I only finding this now?! Absolutely awesome rendition!

[@ezumach]

This guy can sing, dam. Classic

[@neemaf829]

Fantastic acoustic performance of this amazing song!

[@Levelity]

I saw them with Third Eye Blind in Seattle and the way he segwayed into the song from telling a story about making mistakes because it's your life was one of the most epic moments in live music for me. The story he told was so captivating that he had the crowd hanging on every word and when he went from talking about how he loves this woman and he was telling his mother "If you could only see" and begins the song, the crowd exploded it was so epic.

[@Defensores-ke6jm]

Tonic the best. Real 90s spirit.

[@Miadolph427]

They were a great band. It’s too bad that others didn’t feel that way. Their 3rd album only sold 30,000 copies. That’s just crazy

[@manzchristopercadalo106]

Yes it is.

[@jennifersmith314]

Most underrated album of my life.

[@richardsorel201]

Very underrated!

[@rockinwen32]

Well said...!! Such a great tune!!❣️💯🎸🎙🎶

[@konakona895]

Why did you UNDERRATE this album ?🤔 It is rated as LEGENDARY in my book!

[@k9er233]

@@konakona895 You might want to check the meaning of the term "under-rated". It literally means "much better than it was actually rated". The term "Over-rated" means that something is not really as good as it is "rated" or it was rated too highly. The term "under-rated" can seem to sound negative but it actually is not. I absolutely agree with you that it is a legendary and stellar album!

[@konakona895]

​@@k9er233 I do not except industry ratings, especially when fans acknowledge industry ratings as legitimate , thinking its a compliment to the artist. Leave the industry out of it! Compliment the artist with appreciation, gratitude and respect!

[@julieshtick]

The lead is flawless every time he performs live.

[@pauIlo]

I know right.

[@pauIlo]

​@@GAVACHO5150 About the lead vocals, I think he knows how to sing in a healthy way and he knows when making touring pauses to rest his voice. My inspiration to sing.

[@joylapine9004]

Man, the 90’s were an awesome time to be a young adult. I had so much fun. It’s amazing how good music can take you right back to a time and place.

[@arpc0027]

One of the best love songs EVER!!!

[@fleuger99]

Absolutely the best version of this song which I love already. Awesome!!

[@mariatheocampo307]

Still an amazing song after all these years 💙

[@nakedfrets2157]

Wow, you guys still sound incredible! Emerson - your voice is amazing!

🤕Need more "Tonic" Today, this band is amazing. And I mean it, this song just hits you with some emotion that I can't really describe what it is right now, but it's definitely good.

[@stephengopalan1956]

Good acoustic version 👍. Singers of the past had genuine vocals.

[@bettinasmithrasmussen492]

The album, Lemon parade, was recently released on vinyl. What a blessing to listen to a truly great album. I love every song, including this ❤

[@witchintraining494]

You're a preteen when you first hear this. You happen to have blue eyes, a big crush and breaking heart. Oof. It hurt so good.

[@xoxosingers330]

Our favorite version!✨✅✨✅

[@robertmcnealey4789]

I just love this song, whatever version it is!!

[@kikinhugs11]

wow his voice gives me the chills 👌

[@gregfreer9211]

There was always something about Tonic that I couldn't figure out. Something great, but indescribable. But I think now I understand. A hard-driving thoughtful rock band that didn't particularly act that way. Ordinary "Joe's" walking down the street that just rocked the earbuds off your phone moments before. And they've stayed true to that way for decades. They were a major reason why the 90's were so damn good, musically. Thank you Tonic.

[@neemaf829]

Another band that looks like they are ordinary guys that can play some serious tunes or (good old boys), are the band "3 doors down". Another great band, albeit from the early 2000's.

[@JB-he1jt]

Lemon Parade cd best release and full of good music for the soul!! Tonic still a great listen to this day!!

[@AimingWanderously]

This is great stuff- siting around a bonfire with an excellent band.

[@nick_brown]

This acoustic version is amazing.

[@kathleensmith8741]

Such a great song. Timeless. The whole album Lemon Parade was so good also!

[@integralmalfunction]

I like the song even more now!

So iconic.

Band of my youth - they still got it

[@jamesbothel2948]

this song passes the test of hearing the acoustic and still loving the hell out of it. that's a lot of sonic for 3 people

[@muhammadfirdaus6301]

The moment i heard this song, it all flashes my childhood moments...like, automatically ;-)

You guys rock! Merry Christmas!

[@TimRock1269]

I saw them at Universal Studios in Orlando 2000, when these songs were just out. What an awesome free concert. I'd love to see them tour again. "If You Could Only See" is my favorite, but this is a close second.

[@kisstine16]

Seen these guys 2 summers ago. Just phenomenal....one of my top 5 favorite bands from the 90’s.

[@janjr165]

I enjoyed the song so much I liked it once, forgot about it 1 minute later and felt like liking it again

[@mikeanderson1330]

Walked into a supermarket recently. This was playing on the overhead shopping loop. Just a short snippet. Couldn't really catch any lyrics. Stuck in my head. I couldn't remember anything, just that the song had meant something to me somewhere, some time. I was waking up with it in my head. Couldn't even remember a full lyric. This morning, I did. Found it. Now I remember the connection. A long time ago.

I quit playing guitar for a min but here we go again... this stuff rocks softly... got to old for the head bang....

[@symplicityjesus]

Dang there great. I love this song always have. Sounds just as good as the album that's how you can always tell a good singer by there live performance

[@bigernmccracken5736]

I think a lot of significance is missed here… I’ve only ever seen one other band sync up THREE acoustic guitars the way Tonic did for this video shoot. And it was a once-in-a-lifetime live performance of “Seven Bridges Road” by the Eagles. I challenge anyone else to scour the internet and find any band, any song, that harmonizes three live acoustic guitars better than these boys. I consider this a world-class performance for that reason.

[@daveholliday3082]

70s 80s 90s 00s 10s 20s ITS ALL IN THE MEMORIES!!!!!!The best music matches the best memories for us humans so GO make some memories so that 25 years from now we can comment on some of today's greats, and there is some fantastic artists making music now and we can pull up greats like this too. PEACE ALL

[@adammorris3175]

Yeah you say that like all music is created with good intent. 25 years from now all people will talk about is how we the people destroyed our society and put assholes on pedestals. But hey good luck and peace out brother 😂
