I always connect every song I hear to a person, an event or a feeling that I experienced. This song though, just let's me find my inner peace, my little corner to reflect on myself and just disconnect from the world and think about myself. I feel so relaxed and reasured when I hear this song, like everything is going to be ok, and that everything I've done so far has gone acording to plan, even though it's not even remotely close to the truth. Love this song.
This song is like a lullaby.........when i have a niece or nephew ill be singing this song to him or her in the future when i babysit.......this is the most beautiful song ever written...........its timeless and it will go down in history...........just like free falling by tom petty......
THIS SONG ROCKS! It's been about over a decade after this song was written and performed, but the Goo Goo Dolls are still my favorite band, and this is still my favorite song. Thanks for posting this!
This is an awesome version of the song ... one of my favourite songs for sure. He has such cool hair, and the sunglasses are cool too, thats why he needs them!
Finally I've spent over six hours to find this song!!! I was new and it was my senior year in high school, it was the homecoming dance and I was all alone didn't know anybody until a girl asked if I wanted to dance turns out it was this song and I remember looking at her smile and funny story when this song pauses in the middle we stopped dancing and looked at everyone else still dancing but then the song kept playing and me and this girl both looked at eachother and started laughing so hard!!(:
I still am in contact with her and I'm planning on taking her out soon! This song is so amazing and I love it!! It brought me and this girl closer that night!
lyrics r awesome...music collaboratively is fantastic! LOVE this guy's hair n yes we could prob crinkle some sheets..lol..i NEVER say that about ANY artist/actor! I do love the goo goo dolls n miss them much!
it was also from the movie city of angels and it was talking about how the man wants to become human and be seen by the humans. he is an angel in love with a woman.
@36sylvie ...AND This song reminds my brother He was a guitarrist, he usedto play this song, he was so, so young, so lonely...I still crying 10 years after his death.
Considering that they play hundred of gigs his voice is still quite fine...most singers can't keep up their voice for long so he probably is trying save himself a little with the straining high notes. greetings from Germany ;) by the way I like this performance!
Although I love the song Iris, it is by far not the best song the Goo Goo Dolls have done!!! The good ole radio stations rip off the American people when it comes to the Goo Goo Dolls!!! But that's ok because still standing strong 30 years later, OH WE SEE THE TRUTH!!!💞💋💞
Its because John Rzeznik was looking through a magazine while they were recording the song, and there was an article about Iris DeMent, an american singer, and he thot it was a nice song and suited as the song title.
