Fuel - Shimmer (Official HD Video) 

This cd in the player, twisted metal in the PlayStation and a bottle of Mountain Dew. Little did we know it would never get any better.

whos' listening in 2024? x

I’m 42 and my Fuel CD has been scratched for years.. yet I will never part 🤘🏼

All that shimmers in the world is sure to fade away. One of the truest statements ever.

I consider "Fuel" one of the most underrated rock bands in history. They definitely deserved a lot more recognition than they have to date. "Shimmer", for example, is without a doubt one of the best songs of the entire post-grunge era.

It's not just nostalgia.. The 90s were really a purer, more heart-driven era full of feeling.

The last song my brother sent me before he passed away of a heart attack Tuesday morning. I’ll cherish this band forever. Rest in peace brotha

Adulting sucks, enjoy being a kid while you still can. I'm only 36 and sick of it wish I could go back to these days.

this entire album is A+. Fuel was VERY underrated IMO. Still listening to it in 2022

Nobody could explain the 90s vibe, but we all agree that the music was different, pure and real...

Group hug from yall people from the comment section. This song hits us hard. Oh life.

“She says that love is for fools who fall behind, and I’m somewhere in between” 😔

The more I listen to songs like this, the more I think that the 90's was the last great era.

My best friend of 30 years passed away September 20th at 5:30pm from cancer. It’s been 2 days of constant mourning but today I started listening to his favorite songs and remember how much he loved this song. I dunno. Love that guy.

I have heard this song on the radio and on my dad's playlist but never knew the name. Today in my english class my teacher gives us a poem to analyse. The poem was called shimmer. We identified all of the literary devices and what the poem does well. Then he put the song on and I was mind blown.

2024 anyone?

I'm 52 and old enough to realize this Era was the end of Rock's reign.

2001. 16 Years old flying down the road coming home from high school in my first beater car with this blasting and the windows down. You ever feel like you've lived several lifetimes?

This is not a song. Its a poem. 💯

one of the greatest songs ever written

I found this song mid way threw a bad opioid addiction.. I’m happy to say that it kept me alive and I’m sober as I have ever been in my life today. No heroin, no pills, no cigarettes, no alcohol, no weed nothing. Completely sober!!!

This song is a masterpiece in terms of songwriting. The way it progresses slowly and then boom, in comes the distortion and drums, while pre chorus and chorus go back in forth in different directions. It’s like 2 separate songs combined into one. Love it. Extremely underrated song.

Every 2-3 years this song works it's way back into my life and it's the only thing I can listen to for about 5 weeks.

Was 13 when this song came out. My friends and I used build skateboard ramps in my friends garage and skateboard all day with this cd on repeat. Man I miss the 90s so much. Such simple and content times😢😢

God the 90s almost feel like a dream I woke up from and can’t get back to. Who else just closes there eyes, listens, and try’s to drift back?

The 90's are now too far away for me to hold. Too far away.

1998 was the pinnacle of '90s alternative rock. Shimmer was the chief hit that year

This song accompanied some of my worst days, 2002, 16 years old, and living in a foster home...

they dont make music like this anymore. Man, I miss the 90s

In this time of crisis, I recommend going on a 90s alt binge. And keep yourselves safe and healthy if you can.

Everything fades- youth, happiness, love, pain, faith, family and all your hopeful ideals for the world and your life. I will never give up my hope for better. ❤

Guess what guys I'm 53, we never get old, now get out there and rock.

Brings back memories.... Time is a fickle thing isn't it?

this song has it all...beautiful lyrics, smooth transitions, energy, deep emotion, feel, a transending bridge...and the harsh realization of what was, is, and what can never be is simply magnificent.

Finally found this (again). Didnt know "in my hands" FUEL sings this. Too far away is not the title , it's Shimmer. I found this by finally remembering intro words then googling them. Love this time in life and hearing Fuel on the RADIO not streaming service. I feel like I have found a dear friend that I will not lose track of again. ❤

Listening to this song to mourn my dog who passed away a few days ago. It's helping.

This song is so damn deep for those of us who have lost everything we have ever worked for.

Who feels like you will never get bored of listening to this?

One of the best bands ever. I took my five-year-old to see them 20 years ago. He sat on his daddy’s shoulders and knew every song by heart. They signed our entire CD. It was the best day ever. I think this is my actual favorite band ever.

One of the best written songs of all time! 💯

She calls me from the cold Just when I was low, feeling short of stable And all that she intends And all she keeps inside, isn't on the label She says she's ashamed And can she take me for awhile? Can I be a friend, we'll forget the past Maybe I'm not able And I break at the bend We're here and now, but will we ever be again 'Cause I have found All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade Away again She dreams a champagne dream Strawberry surprise, pink linen and white paper Lavender and cream Fields of butterflies, reality escapes her She says that love is for fools who fall behind And I'm somewhere in between I never really know A killer from a savior 'Til I break at the bend We're here and now, but will we ever be again 'Cause I have found All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade Away again It's too far away for me to hold It's too far away It's too far away for me to hold It's too far away It's too far away for me to hold It's too far away It's too far away for me to hold It's too far away It's too far away for me to hold It's too far away It's too far away for me to hold It's too far away Guess I'll let it go

In my opinion, this is the best jam they ever made. This song is too good.

This is one of my favorite songs. It's easily repeatable without getting old. I miss the 90s.

Ahhhh when music didn't suck. Miss the 90's. Great times

The 90s were so terribly magical. Everyone was feeling everything and nothing as the world changed around them. This was definitely an anthem for me. Like an audial time machine.

This song is still absolutely amazing in 2021

I accidentally found this song and it sounds beautiful, this deserves more views and recognition

Driving on I-17 with my girlfriend and her best friend in my 94 toyota pickup in 1998. All 3 singing and loving life! Thanks Fuel for the memories.

This song is now 20 years old and still pure sonic perfection

Goosebumps and chills. Absolutely nostalgic.

I miss this era of music, so non political and we all just grooved to tunes

I cannot believe how well this passed the test of time.

Say what you want, this is an amazingly catchy and well constructed song. It has like 3 choruses lol

This was a hard song to find back in the day, what with Staind having a song called "So Far Away" and Three Doors Down all over the radio with "Be Like That", whose bridge sounds like the chorus to this song but on morphine. At some point, I was convinced this song didn't exist, that I had just imagined it. Boy was I happy to be proven wrong.

Alternative rock of the 90s ruled.

Raw talent and emotions on this song. Still gives me the chills after all these years!

When I was suffering from crippling anxiety and panic disorder, and thought about killing myself, I listened to this song and made it through one more day.

One of my all time favorite songs. I look at the world today and I don't even recognize it. People from and before this generation were just different. We really lived. No cell phones, no social media, just adrenaline in the moment.

I remember my brothers friend coming over one afternoon and asking if I had heard a song called,Shimmer..he popped the disc in and I was hooked,jumped in the car and headed to the nearest CD store. Still have it in my truck now.

One of the best lines in music "She says that love is for fools that fall behind" So true

"cause i have found ..all that shimmers in this world is sure to fade..away..again" so true

Legit, one of THE greatest songs of all time. Any band, any genre. This is my #1 example of a song I can listen to a thousand times over and never even BEGIN to get tired of it. I have to try very hard not to sing along out loud when I hear it, no matter where I am and regardless of how much my thin voice cannot even BEGIN to match Brett Scallions. It just has that much power. Back in the day I also made a quite good AMV set to this song. I'm still very proud of that one.

I miss the 1990's, 2000's and 2010's. Fuel is a mellow band but I did enjoy seeing them.

Waiting for the radio to play this was torture when your a 12 year kid not knowing the name of the band

I won't lie, this is one of the few songs I cry to. I remember clicking with this one instantly the first time I heard it. Something about this song reminds me of hard times and makes me grateful I had music like this to connect with and get me through. Sometimes life is hard and love is really painful. That's what makes it life, and I'm glad music is there to pick me up in those hard times. To Fuel, thanks for this gem-- your work does not go unappreciated.

So my hubby just had open heart surgery.. he’s doing great.. married 31 years and we will always live FUEL!!!

Can't listen to this often... I feel like every time I hear it, the nostalgia fades even more and I don't want it to...

What really hits you hard is when you realize your dreams of youth were mostly just shimmering fantasies. We keep pressing on though.

SOLID songwriting lasts! Here we are, still celebrating this wonderful song!

I still love this song so much. Sang it to my boyfriend when I was 16, and we have been married for 15 years and together for 25 years. It's such good song writing and raw emotion. Thanks Fuel, you all also rock in concert. I was lucky to see you all when I was a teen at the international ballroom in Houston, TX.

My sister showed me this song! She's not dead or anything, but does have two beautiful kids now! This reminds me of her 👌

high school days. NO Money, NO HONEY, huhuhuhuhu but Alternative Rocks!

If you’re listening to this you are in your 30’s. We’re getting old guys.

Class of 1998. Soundtrack of our youth. Loved these guys.

2023 and this song is still one of my favorites

Memories!!!! The BEST thing about Music... No-One Can Take That Away....

20 Years later and I'm still listening to this. I'm old.

This song was so well written. One of my favorites from Fuel.

"I have found all that shimmers in this world is sure to fade away".Time proves it to be true.

My Mom and Dad used to sing this to me when they were pregnant with me. I remember from a young age always loving this song. I still to this day get chills from this song when I hear it. Now I’ve grown, and finally understand how minuscule my wants were as a child, and how as an adult now I’m struggling to keep up with the bare necessities still pining for a life not driven by how much money you have. The bridge is no longer a song for my parents to sing to me as a baby, it’s now grown to be my cry for validation from all the death and heartache.

2023 and still rocking out to these songs

I can't believe I am adding this song to my "Oldies" playlist... so much time gone by like a blink...

I was literally in HS when this song came out, became popular, and somehow faded behind other bands songs that had a more mainstream or catchy vibe. But it's lasted, and stood the test of time. The essence alone of this track encompasses the 90's better than any other song. A great time, and one we all miss. 9/11 changed our generation, and not for the better. It stole our innocence, our future, and our hearts.

2024 still a classic ❤️

Lyrics She calls me from the cold Just when I was low Feeling short of stable All that she intends And all she keeps inside Isn't on the label She says she's ashamed Can she take me for a while?

'Cause I have found All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade Away again It's too far away for me to hold Too far away It's too far away for me to hold Too far away Ah-ow Yeah, it's too far away for me to hold Too far away, ah-ow It's too far away for me to hold Too far away It's too far away for me to hold Too far away, ah-ow It's too far away for me to hold Too far away Guess I'll let it go Fonte: Musixmatch Compositores: Carl Bell Letra de Shimmer © Pener Pig Publishing, Songs Of Polygram Int., Inc.

I was able to see Fuel in a small dive bar in Fairfax, Virginia, I Love this band, the best songs weren't played on the radio.

I'm proud to say I lived in the 90s

The 90s. Music was so good. And the lyrics were extremely better written.

This song is absolutely timeless, it never gets old no matter how many times you listen to it. A testament to how amazing it is and how underrated the band Fuel is.

fuel shouldve been a bigger band then they were Such an underrated band. All their songs are amazing!

This song will never be too far away. It still shimmers just as bright as it did when i was a teen.

This track holds a special place in my heart for someone I'll never get to see again💔

Use to use my TV as an alarm set to Mtv (when they actually played videos). Alarm goes off,catches this video from the gate.I start rockin' out,not fully awake,fall,hit my head on the corner of the wall...BANG! still gotta scar.Thanks Fuel. 😎

I remember when these guys opened for HUM in 1998.

Missing the 90’s almost as much as the 80’s ☹️

Enjoy every moment because one day it’ll be just a memory.

Jesus Christ I just got hit in the feels......I feel 17 again and going through a breakup....yet I’m happy in full nostalgia mode. I miss the 90s lol

I've loved this song for over 25 years ❤️

This whole album was amazing. I will always love this band.
