Hoobastank - The Reason (Official Music Video) 

This is the music of my childhood: gentle, pure, and soul touching

Even if you just heard a glimpse of this as a child, that tune is unforgettable

Hoobastank, when this came out I was homeless, in and out of jail, and unhealthy. Now I have a house, a good job, and a husband. This song and “Clover Cage - Miraculous” are the two songs that helped with my depression. I just want everyone to know things will get better. We are in this together. I love you ❤😊

Who's listening in june 2024?

Listened to this song as a new Dad back in 2004, rocking my daughter. Teared up every time, thinking she was my reason to change.... Now she's in college and hearing it still makes me think of her as my little baby....

it's almost 2017, and this is still the best song ever

Who in 2024?✨🎶

Anyone else on an oldschool video spree?

It’s September 5, 2023 and I still love this song till this day. I can’t forget the memories that I had with my kids mother 10 years are hard to let go just like that. I still have so much love for you and wish the best for you some part of me wish that we were still together, but every time I hear this song, it brings me to tears out of everything I’ve been through with you

Time flies so fast 😢😢 we're getting old 💔

The reason is always a reason... 14th june 2024 (10:40 PM) 💪

*Hits someone with the car* "I'm not a perfect person"

I heard it as a child I hear it now as an adult I'll hear it when I'm old This song is timeless

No tiktok, Instagram, in short, no internet. Just hanging out with friends and living each day to the fullest NOSTALGIA

I believe that somewhere in the world, there are people who feel the same emotions that I feel when I listen to masterpieces like this song.

My dumb ass typed in “I’m not a perfect person” just to find this song

My dad played this song for me every morning on the way to school. Nice to go back to a memory where everything was simpler

Who's listening in June 2024?

May 17 2024 and I continue loving every inch of this song.

21 thousand people didn't find a reason to change who they used to be.

I'm not a perfect person There's many things I wish I didn't do But I continue learning I never meant to do those things to you And so I have to say before I go That I just want you to know I've found a reason for me To change who I used to be A reason to start over new and the reason is you I'm sorry that I hurt you It's something I must live with everyday And all the pain I put you through I wish that I could take it all away And be the one who catches all your tears Thats why I need you to hear I've found a reason for me To change who I used to be A reason to start over new and the reason is You and the reason is You [x3] I'm not a perfect person I never meant to do those things to you And so I have to say before I go That I just want you to know I've found a reason for me To change who I used to be A reason to start over new and the reason is you I've found a reason to show A side of me you didn't know A reason for all that I do And the reason is you

2024june I listen everyday to this beautiful classic❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

2024 anyone?

Seriously miss this so much. Running home to watch MTV, no social media, riding my bike around trying to find my friends. I wish I knew how good life was. I wanna go back and just appreciate everything.

**hits person with car** IM NOT A PERFECT PERSON

1 BILLION views. This gives me some comfort, some faith in a better internet and, possibly, better humanity. Whoever you are, crossing by this comment section, I send you my regards. Things will be fine

1 Billion Vìews🎉

I used to play this song while robbing banks in Payday: The Heist Then i realized the song was about heartbreak and not robbing banks.

My dad used to always play this song in the living room. RIP dad.

June 2024 still here?

Does anybody ever just get tired of today's music and find them selves going on a old music rampage. Hug me guys if you feel it! Love from Philippines!

2000s rock sounds nostalgic, regardless of whether you've heard it before

Geeze this song is a pop master piece. It captured so many sounds from the 90’s and early 2000’s, and just absolutely crushed the culminating of it all! How wild! The vocals are so beautifully written! And the notes the singer hits, SO CLEAN! Bravo!

The level of nostalgia this song gives is unimaginable. 2 decades and counting and still a masterpiece!

isn’t it crazy how songs come into your life at the right time?

2024, for my daughters and my best friend Callum. RIP Malcolm 💙

My best friend that is in prison dedicated this song to his daughter and for whatever reason him and his bm fell off but he used to sing this song with his heart out barely speaking English. He just misses his daughter sooo much and he can’t even talk to her cause the mom won’t let him. He is going to get deported to Guatemala. I miss my bestfriend so much

"And the reason is you" - Luke Howland

This song reminds me of something special that happened to us. Hoobastank were my mum's favourite band when I was growing up, so she would always play their records in the car on the way to school. When her mother died, we used the money in her will to go to the States, as a reward for the stress she went through with her mother's declining health. I remember it was on the 27th of July that we were in a mall in Orange, LA, when we saw something on a billboard - it was a poster for a free public Hoobastank concert. On that day - which happened to be my mum and dad's wedding anniversary - we went to see our favourite band who are renowned for being on an endless world tour, with no planning whatsoever. It was as if there was some guardian angel who just wanted to see my mum happy again, and it worked. It was against all odds but it happened and it was one of the best days of my life, even though I do not remember it very well as I was quite young at the time.

Every lyrics of these song hit me 😩😩

it's May 2024, and i'm here again.

Who's listening to this song in 2017?

It's December 2020 & the song still lives. And the reason is you!

2024 alguém?

This song is very nostalgic. I enjoyed the early 2000's.

This song meltd my heart.... This gives me memories of my childoohd that I wish I can relive

14 years, and this song never gets old. I really love this song, is like it teleports you to a magic place.

Having fallen to heavy drug and alcohol abuse as a teen after leaving highschool, this was the song that turned me around. It's APRIL 2024 now and I'm 43.

AL FINAL TODOS TERMINAMOS IGUAL, EN UN BOULEVARD DE LOS SUEÑOS ROTOS 🌈💙:( -Luke Howland Bro 💔💔💔💔

It's hard to have to let go of what your heart doesn't want to forget. 💙

This song is so satisfying. Even in 2024

Best song of 2004!

After 30 years of a failed marriage I’ve found a reason for me. And the reason is the love of my life. A reason to start over new. It’s never too late kids. I’m 60 and life goes on. This song captures it so well.

April 29, 2024!!! ❤

The Reason 2018

My favourite song ever ❤🩹

20 years of The " Reason " why i Still Love This Song. ❤😘💋

This isn't my usual music genre but this songs been my favorite forever

love this damn song

I CANT BELIEVE I FOUND THIS SONG BACK BY CHANCE IM SO HAPPY(my mom played it a lot when I was little)

2024 and i still find myself coming back

Rarely you'll get 2nd chances, so be smart. We all realize how much somebody means to us, and how much we've lost ... when it's too late. Do not make the same mistake I did... All I'm left with is this song, sorrow, and thoughts how things could've been different if I wasn't this blind.

If a time machine was built to go back to the early 2000's would you go back?

It's May 2024, let's how many fans are listening to this!

still here looking for my mom!!

August 11. Let's see how many peoples are still listening to this masterpiece.

Fuck , i'm 13 years old again...

This is a perfect song if you felt guilt over hurting someone

2004, good times, no social media no smartphones

"Se que estoy jodido... porque no me enamoré de sus virtudes, me enamore de sus defectos..." ---Luke Howland💙🌈💔😭

LYRICS I'm not a perfect person There's many things I wish I didn't do But I continue learning I never meant to do those things to you And so, I have to say before I go That I just want you to know I've found a reason for me To change who I used to be A reason to start over new And the reason is you I'm sorry that I hurt you It's something I must live with everyday And all the pain I put you through I wish that I could take it all away And be the one who catches all your tears That's why I need you to hear I've found a reason for me To change who I used to be A reason to start over new And the reason is you And the reason is you And the reason is you And the reason is you I'm not a perfect person I never meant to do those things to you And so I have to say before I go That I just want you to know I've found a reason for me To change who I used to be A reason to start over new And the reason is you I've found a reason to show A side of me you didn't know A reason for all that I do And the reason is you

The early 2000s were good vibes and great sounds

This came off the radio and hooked me in 🤷‍♂️🙂✌️

I got to see them play a free concert in Las Vegas today didnt know who they were till they played this song they all look way different

This song is such a masterpiece. Sad that artists like these no longer get the spotlight
