Yeah, music was great, and we had all the freedom to be young. The internet is great at many things, but the quality of life without it in the 90s was epic.
So glad my 20’s coincided with the 90’s. We did have it good from a music perspective. We just assumed it would stay that way but sadly we have todays music - if it can be called music.
Tonic, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Gin Blossoms, The Cranberries, and this band was my life soundtrack growing up. I remember when Good premiered on MTV made me a fan of this band. I purchased both Deluxe and Friction, Baby CD’s and wore out both albums. I was 12 years old when Deluxe was released. So many good memories. I wish I could go back to better times.
This is one of those songs that bring me right to another time and place as soon as I hear the opening to it. It feels good to reminisce on the memories but hurts to know they are long gone..
Dont get too caught up in nostalgia to the point where you dont create new memories with your children or other young ones in your life. Include these elements so they can look back one day and feel connected to the moment the he same way you are now.
One of the best albums ever, had this on cassette and CD lol. Gotta love the 90s bands… the Gin Blossoms, Dishwalla, The Toadies, Spacehog, Collective Soul…. What an era for music.
Still have "deluxe" cd, was my first real concert at 12, violent femms, artificial joy club, dishwalla, better than ezra and matchbox 20 headlined. Will never forget!
Don't forget Tonic, Candlebox, Seven Mary Three, and The Wallflowers. I think I could probably spend the rest of the day listing artists and bands. What an awesome era for music!💜💜
Oh yes, this was the summer before my Freshman year in high school. Good was played over and over on MTV…and then this dropped. Still sounds great all these years later
Better Than Ezra frontman Kevin Griffin said in an interview he wrote this song when his girlfriend at the time's uncle Patrick was in the final stages passing away from Aids and it's about not knowing about the history of who you love & who they've loved before you.
Thanks for the explanation. I initially could not make heads or tails of what this song was about, but within the context you shared, the lyrics make total sense to me now, and I love the song even more than I did previously.
I miss these mid-late 1990s post grunge rock bands like Goo Goo Dolls, Everclear, Better Than Ezra, Live, Bush, Toad The Wet Sprocket, Fuel, Local H, Hum and the Bloodhound Gang.
So when this came out i was that kids age, and my parents played this album on the home stereo often.... the nostalgia is almost too much. Longing for that better time
One of my favorite Better Than Ezra songs. I can still remember listening to this in my high school days back year 1995 when I started listening to rock music. Good, Rosalia, King of New Orleans and Desperately Wanting are also my favourites. Now year 2021 I still love listening to these.😉--Aims
I'll never get tired of listening to rock hits of the 90s. This band is one of my favourites. In The Blood, Good, Desperately Wanting, King of New Orleans and Rosalia are my favourites. Always with ♥️ from the Philippines.👍✌️🤘😉
I saw them at the House of Blues in New Orleans, fantastic concert, that night on the way home hit a deer on the way home at 3:00 am, my first deer after a concert
I was 16 in ‘95 - had the tape adapter to play this CD in my 1984 Mercury Cougar. Smells like Drakkar Noir & Marlboro Lights going for a cruise after a shitty 4-close at the fast food gig.
I remember being 16 and singing this song with so much passion like I understood it. Now that I am 40 I really understand it and I still sing it like I wrote it.
@@mrjesanchez It's about an acquaintance of the lead singer's dying of AIDS. This was back in the mid-90s, when life expectancy was much lower. "In the Blood" literally refers to the disease, and the questions, "Who'd you love before? Who'd they love before you?" Is about trying to trace who they got it from and who else they might have passed it on to.
Dios porque no regresan y hacen mas canciones hermosas , mi ruta en el auto se hace mas llevadera escuchandolos , me alegran y me transportan a años memorables, me retuerzo en la cama de madrugada escuchandolos con ansias de retroceder en el tiempo que hermosooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"In The Blood" is one of my favorite songs. I love the beat and the feel of this song. Typical of the '90s, this had a great sound regardless of genre.
I totally agree this song should have charted as high or higher than "Good", it really showed the emotional range of these guys. So overlooked, but they had so much competition for airplay on the radio back then.
Right.. I’ll be 40 in 2 weeks. It wasn’t long ago this song was in the radio and long summer days of skateboarding in the 90s. Mid life crisis nostalgia.
2am in the morning and it's the same old pain and anguish going through vmy head about a girl that stole my heart 30 years ago and then lost to me and so close yet so far away from me right in this moment I'll never stop believing R.A.H. that there is some way somehow in sometime we can be together again and you can learn what real love from a real man is I got 30 years of it saved up for only you
My now ex used to sing this song to me when we were together when this song first came out. Honestly I still think of her to this day everytime I hear this song.
Miss you Joanna, always. Never going to call you Jobeth. I was 19, didnt know what I was doing. I seen you at DMV few yrs ago, but I didnt say anything. Youre almost 60 now....and I still lost my breath.
Que energía tan grande ...!! Me encanta esta canción desde que la escuché en 1995 ,que POTENCIA, todo encaja ,la voz ,la guitarra , el baterista , el vídeo del niño que quiere comunicarse ,es increíble como la música te hace conectar todos tus sentimientos y sentidos...!!!

Saw them live in Austin a few years back and this was their final song. Immediate goosebumps once the sudden drumline kicked in followed by the guitars. Hands down their best song in my opinion!
They are playing near me and I had to listen to this song as soon as I saw. I wondered if they still played it live. Considering the trouble to go see them ❤
This song gives me so much frisson. It brings memories of the past and it’s ok. One of the few songs that can both remind me of the past and still motivate me so much frisson. ❤
