I've just by accident re-discovered this after 27 yrs. 1993. 13 yrs old. I caught the tail end of this track on the radio. I frantically tried to write down who it was but wasn't in time. I've thought about it many times throughout the 26 years. Now here it is. As soon as it started to play my eyes lit up like a startled cat in head lights. Once again just like that, 27 years was gone and I was 13 again. In that bedroom, discovering my place in the world through music. I'm 40 now. Still figuring things out but one thing that's constant is Music and always will be.
I was in my 30s and I too loved it. Took me right back to the 70s. Real rock, real hair, real clothes. Hey I had a great time in the 80s, don't get me wrong, was lucky to survive them though. LOL There's great music in every decade, though. My advice to people is to never get stuck, to never quit looking for cool stuff. But I do miss the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s.
I was in my thirties in the nineties and I swear it was the last decade where music totally rocked. It's all been various varieties of reheated, warmed-over shite since then.
Same here. I loved all of the (now) classic rock bands of the late 60's and 70's but kind of lost touch with music in the 80's. The 90's reignited my passion for music when the grunge scene came along. I liked a lot of the post-grunge bands too and then emo came along. Since then I've fallen in love with the blues and listen to that more than anything these days, although I really dig Marcus King and Billy Strings, so I think there is still some hope for the young generation.
I kind of always thought we'd miss it, it felt so special at the time - I feel like I remember every single night of being young and beautiful and in love with music (and a few musicians...been married to one of them for almost 25 years now) and art and everything was intense and beautiful and painful and tragic and sweet all the time. I hope a future generation can create another amazing decade like the 90's someday, even if I'm watching it unfold from the nursing home.
I definitely didn't respect that decade enough at the time. I was dirty on it for ending the 80s, but looking back now both decades were friggin amazing. I was always so excited and optimistic for the future, but seeing what we ended up with I'd happily go back and just stay.
Born in 57 and grew up with classic rock but then came Cracker, Sponge, Bush and Nirvana and wow did it change my perspective and then shortly after it plopped completely. Loved that era
I remember listening to this song at my dad's band practice as a kid cause his bands always covered this song. I still remember being in the garage in the winter and smelling the stale cigarette smoke on the couch and alcohol in the air as they just jammed away. 23 years old now and have been very reflective on my life recently. Strange how music can just be so timeless yet take you back to an exact point in time.
yo just took ME back to being in the garage jammin! thank you, " being in the garage in the winter and smelling the stale cigarette smoke on the couch and alcohol in the air as they just jammed away" I think thats just a collective experience for alot of people you summed it up perfect
its hard to name a rock band after '05 Cause all the ones i know started way earlier. Disturbed, Godsmack, Seether, Avenged Sevenfold, Lacuna Coil, Mudvayne, damn they all started in the 90s
I would even go so far to say the date they released their first album. Five Finger Death Punch( 2005) is the only decent recent band I can think of and that's even 11 years ago. I honestly can't think of anyone decent bands since 2005.
I used to listen to this song in 1993. I forgot about it for 30 years. I found it again through checking out a channel about music in 1993. It’s amazing how I still remember the lyrics after 30 years.
7 days clean today. This was my jam. When I heard this song just now I started dry heaving. It’s crazy how music can do that. No more for me I’m done. One day at a time!
Just saw these guys in Novato. You cannot believe how good they still sound. Just incredible! The did a 20 song set. I didn't want it to end and the music has been rattling around my brain for a week now.
Rumor has it that Cracker will be back in Novato this summer. We thought last summer was the last time. Could be a "final final " at the Hop Munk Brewery!
I agree. In my opinion this song has always been the absolute apitimy of 90s rock for some reason. I'm glad someone else thinks the same way I do. 90s is a majority of what comes through my speakers and this has always been the most 90s to me!
I remember when COVID""happened. Or I guess it's still happening. And the sorts of allegiances being all hi hi hihi... Ummm 🤔 don't u hate me or something. Bc idk y'all but them folks r scurry...
Apparently this song is from the 90's. I've never heard it before, and yet it still hits me with nostalgia. I guess 90's music really does have its own distinctive style.
Sometimes when i play these old class tunes dosnt be on spotify etc like to keep it old and find them on old cds seems to make it more nostalgic!!....keep it rocking folks!!👍👍
This is a song you don’t realize is great until you’ve played it over and over again and then spent the day singing it. 1 of the 90s gems and has to be in the top 100.
I heard this song on the radio about a month ago coming home from work. I never heard it before, within 10 seconds of listening to it I was HOOKED. The 90's was the BEST time for alternative music groups like this. I wish I was alive for it to appreciate it. I've been exploring 90's stuff since then. this is real talent. not computer programmed karaoke with no thought process involved like todays garbage. im going to ask my band if they would like to do a cover of this. I bet we could turn some heads. this is a true gem.
This song is amazing. Having Sandra in it, balls out raging with the Tsunami wave of bullshxx she was having to deal with, at the time, was wonderful. I love this as a complete work of time travel. Keep throwing those punches, Sandra, you are one of a kind.
This song really takes one back to the 90s. Certain songs are a time capsule and reminder of the time in which they were made and this is absolutely one of them.
Can you believe this is my first time watching this video? LOL, I couldn't afford cable back then, and I've only had an iPhone for 5 years. I've had the album since it came out, however, and I think it's one of the top 20 albums of the 1990s. They put out quite a bit of good music after that, but none of their albums were as good as Kerosene. Even though I have the music in my collection, I still miss the AWESOME vibe of the mid to late '90s😢 The best of times!! No decade produced more new rock bands and one hit wonders out of nowhere, that kicked ass!
Heard this album in the 90s in a coffee shop in Amsterdam, in a lovely relaxed atmosphere. When I got home this was the first album I bought. Great memories 🤘🤘
Dude! I cannot believe I found this song. I totally had forgotten about it!! They used to play this video all the time and I remember that Sandra chick.
Picked my son up from school today and this came on the radio, im absent-mindedly singing along, and he asks...."hey dad, what is a junkie cosmonaut?" I simply said "someone who enjoys being high in space while gazing at the stars without a care in the world." He smiles and says "wow dad you like space, and i like space but we have to alot more stuff than just like space for that?" As soon as we walk in the door..."MOMMY MOMMY ME AND DADDY ARE JUNKIE "COSMONETS!!!" my wife smiled shook her head and I had to remind her about the special place this song has in our early relationship....im a lucky man to have them both, she is definitely my best friend and my son gives me that "my life is awesome feeling" just about everyday... i wish i was as cool as he is
+Sonny Gunz Same. Over the years this has become my 90s anthem. Its aged so well, and is imo the best example of what was so great about the scene back then.
Ive recently been reviving 90's music in my life. Maybe I'm getting old but this song and Bound to the Floor by Local H flood my mind and heart with memories of junior high and high school. Back when things made more sense and the future was ours. I'm not lamenting my present. Just appreciating my past😊
My dad passed when I was 10 and my mom always told me the good times they had when they were teens blarring this singing having the best time. I just imagine that and love the vibes
mikaela Smith your comment is so emotionally intelligent! I’m so sorry you lost your dad, at such a young age. Your way of filling that void (somewhat), with the music he identified with, while immersing yourself in your mother’s beautiful memories, is so deeply profound and worthy. Cheers.
I just heard this in a commercial..and I remember the first time I heard this song..I really connected with it musically right away..very powerful cut..one of my forever favorites..
Man the late 80s and early to mid 90s were the absolute best! It faded fast after the 90s. I feel bad for kids nowadays and the music they are stuck with. They don't even know how bad it is because they have no point of reference unless they go back and listen. Not many do that.
Ben Holcombe the last hurrah came in the 90s. There were a few aftershocks like Godsmack, Disturbed, and a few others, but alas, the great music is gone.
This song takes me back in my mind to the place where I was so young and beautiful and the world was beautiful and full of possibilities. I hope I can feel that way again someday...
All I can say is we're alive. Let's fucking jam this and other 90s rock until we are 6 feet under. That alone is worth celebrating. Don't worry about skin.
What a exciting time to be a teen. I get the feels hearing songs like this but I was fortunate enough to have experienced it. No cellphones or social media more like walking around and everyone knowing where to go. Yelling out your friends name outside their home haha. Social life is what we had I feel for the kids that didnt live it.
The bands and songs from the 90*s seems like were all written as a reflection of the good music coming to an end and new tunes emerging into what we hear now....I miss the 90s alternative rock bands.... My life was full of mad mad and beautiful memories all wrapped into one wish I could go back sometimes....
this song these days that girl was me and those poppies made me sleep a million years and still it wasn't enough to find you. I miss you, wherever you went.
Love the song and it brings back memories. It disappoints me to read the comments with the only good music was made in the 90's comments. I'm embarrassed for my generation. Yes, this and other music was great for the time. So was music from so many other decades.
This is by far the most "nostalgia inducing" song from my childhood, if some young whippersnapper were to ask me "What were the early 90s like?" I'd just play this for them. They wouldn't get it but I certainly would.
Nothing will ever take you back to your teenage years as music. Everything could have changed in your life in the present, you as well certainly are not the same person you were, but music takes you right back. Time travelling is only possible through music.
I just woke up, and this song was playing in my head as clear as day, and then faded from my recollection and back into my dream as I approached wakefulness. now I can't stop playing it.
I directed this video for them. In the original version you could see Sandra Bernhardt mouthing some pretty foul words but the record company, or maybe it was MTV, made me take them out. One of my favorites I made for these guys and Camper.
My first concert was Cracker and Counting Crows in 93/94 , Still think about the girl I met there sometimes named Soquel... Cracker will always be a special part of my life.
Love this song so much. It hits me hard in the feels cuz it immediately transports me back to the 90s (was in my late 20s into my 30s). I miss that decade soooooo much. I thought it was just my thing because I was particularly happy in the 90s. Figured that made me biased toward so much being so great then, especially the music. But I hear so many other people say how much they miss the 90s too. Guess I'm not alone.
My mom died overseas that year, and I was in college doing prereqs for nursing school. Never could make it back in time for her funeral. But now it always brings back the immense sadness and grief.
The perks of being wallflower has a really wonderful soundtrack. It was when I first listen to David Bowie, Smiths and Cracker. Such an amazing expirience that changed my music style !
Sometimes I want to take you down Sometimes I want to get you low Brush your hair back from your eyes Take you down let the river flow Sometimes I go and walk the street Behind the green sheet of glass A million miles below their feet A million miles, a million miles I'll be with you girl Like being low Hey, hey, hey like being stoned I'll be with you girl Like being low Hey, hey, hey like being stoned A million poppies gonna make me sleep Just one rose and knows your name The fruit is rusting on the vine The fruit is calling from the trees Hey don't you want to go down Like some junkie cosmonaut A million miles below their feet A million miles, a million miles I'll be with you girl Like being low Hey, hey, hey like being stoned I'll be with you girl Like being low Hey, hey, hey like being stoned Blue blue is the sun Brown brown is the sky Green green of her eyes A million miles a million miles Hey hey don't you want to go down Like some disgraced cosmonaut A million miles below their feet A million miles, a million miles I'll be with you girl Like being low Hey hey hey like being stoned I'll be with you girl Like being low Hey hey hey like being stoned I'll be with you girl Like being low Hey hey hey like being stoned I'll be with you girl Like being low Hey hey hey like being stoned
When I was young I listened to this at such a loud volume that it impaired my hearing. Luckily I now can afford a nice soundsystem so I can impair my neighbours hearing too. 😂
@@Angie_bae lost my kids father to heroin. Never tried it myself. I was more hypothetically speaking I guess. Music has always been a drug enough for me.
@Frank McGovern no u take a razor and make slices into the pod after orange petals fall off lit it bleed that white milk down the stem ! Follow day its rare black !

IT TOLD AND PROOVED TO BE A TRUE LIFESAVER AT THAT TIME
I was 35 spinnin records in clubs. Being an old hippy the 90s was consistently the most powerful, urgent, angst filled, emotional music of my life. 63 and I'm still enjoying it immensely. Girls didn't initially like this band. Candlebox they immediately liked.lol
