My dad picked me up from school and took me and my sister to burger king on the way home. I remember clearly being in the backseat with the window down and hand out the window and this song blaring on the radio. Later that night he put us to bed and then woke us up an hour later and surprised us and took us to the movies to see spy kids 1 at 10 @night. had never been awake that late before that. that was a really good day. times were simpler back then.
Wow, beautiful comment. Thank you for giving me a new way to look at RU-vid and technology, especially when I often hear some say the internet was a mistake. I’m going to remember this 😊
This is the song that immediately transports me to a beautifully simple time in my childhood. I was 8 years old when this song played on the radio during the car ride to the movies with my dad. I went to go see Rugrats in Paris in Downtown Disney's AMC theater that day. That same day, my dad also took me to Burger King when they had the Rugrats watch toys that came with the kids meal. I got a watch with Phil and Lil on it. Then, my mom bought me a Sony Walkman CD player and I was gifted Nelly Furtado's CD with this song on it. I can't tell you how many AA batteries I went through just to listen to this song. Whether at the skating rink, or patiently waiting for Windows XP SP2 to finish installing, this song was most likely played. I know we have this cruel unidirectional flow of time, but these memories were very beautiful to me. Thanks for reading.

@@wiseforce7045 I’ll never get that feeling again. It’ll just be a failed attempt at creating an emotional state that can never truly be relived. The purity and innocence of childhood is lost forever, and it’s been replaced by stress, student loans, work, having no sense of direction, and all the other bs of life.
Recently heard this on an Emirates flight and started crying. I am 27 and this brought me me back to simpler times. When I had no stress, no worries. All I cared about was hanging out with my friends and having summer off school. I love music, it can bring you anywhere.
So because you guys are "adults"' now, a name given by society, means you need to have responsibility? Responsibility means limitations in your own head, to feel yourself safe. If you dont like it, then dont live towards it and do the fuck what you want in life
MrAnarification Sorry to break this to you, but there is law that simply states that as soon as you reach the magic age of 18, you are responsible for your life, your actions and sometimes even other people like your sick parents or siblings. There are things that you can't run from in this world and one of them is becoming an adult and taking over responsibility. You can try but it makes it all just get worse and worse. It starts to change you because even if you do want to go wild and do crazy shit, there is always this nagging voice in your head telling you that you shouldn't do it or that it will be dangerous which takes out the fun in almost everything that really is fun. So...yeah, because we are "adults" we have "responsibility".
In between can become homeless at any pt or I can actually become stable. & I legitimately actually did that by myself. Well, some folks out there must've took a chance on me. But I gotta carefully weave my way out of alotta things bc it's always been delicate things, for me. I'm not snotty. Somexs I think I'm snappy. Or I'm not sure if that many ppl live trying me & or all folks in general. Or it's just the state ppl r in so mood cancer. But somexs I legitimately have cheesey arse speeches in my head. All rip streets 😭. I wish y'all luck. Idk what to say about the middle class or rich but I'm not too close to it though. Kinda, just at the bottom. & Oh well. Bc if only ppl were in other folks shoes. Anyways, tis y I'm always 🕊️or wever. Also I think my new motto that I'll forget in no time should be forget ur feelings. Remember ur worf. And I know I can't be doing all that if I even allow any bad opportunity to come at me, if my doors open. I'm pretty sure ppl just like to watch, just to lurk, just to project wever too. And tis y they too have to scadaddle
you are not the only one. music is horrible in todays radios because artists just want to appeal to one generation. where back in the 90s to early 2000 artists appealed to all times of ages.
My mother used to play this song loudly so she wouldn’t hear my screams when my step father would beat the fuck out of me, until could barely breath or his arm got tired. Yeah, my childhood was awesome.
Modern day "Artists" make the most money on sex songs selling thier asses. First Nelly Furtado's albums were about putting meaning into the songs; when Timbaland convinced her to switch to sexy style to make more money all the magic was gone. That's how songs like this one are still epic and the "new" ones fade away.
R.I.P. my sweet beautiful sister Carla passed away unexpectedly in her sleep almost 2 months ago, Carla loved Nelly, fly like a bird sis I miss and love you so much 💔😢👭
The year is 2000, we’re vibing at this song, we’re kinds, no stress, no depression, no anxiety, no worries, life is just simple and good and we don’t know how lucky we are 😢
+Fernando Miranda I remember this was one of the last videos I saw in regular rotation on MTV before I moved in '01. I totally forgot that it was late 2000. Where *does* the time go?
the first time i heard this song, i was meeting my father for the first time. he went to prison when i was 9 months and got out when i was 7 years old. he pulled up to my moms. he took my brothers and i to walmart and got us all handheld cd players. he had this cd and was playing. i remember loving it and him giving me this CD. 17 years later, we're closer than ever.
@Juan Gomez yes, my father commited crimes. he broke into houses quite regularly and pawned what he stole. my dads father, my grandfather, was chief of police and it embarrassed him as my father would give him stolen items as gifts. he w was supposed to 13 years and only did 7. i dont hold anything he's done against him as he's changed his life around completely/
Omg this is beautiful. It’s so amazing how a simple song can transport us back to another moments so fast. I’m glad your dad was able to make it out of the system and step to be the man all little girls need in our lives
Now that I'm older, when I listen to this song it hit different. Especially when she says "I don't know where my home is, I don't know where my soul is" It's basically the human condition in one song. Anyone knows where home is? It's certainly not Earth. Those with ears will truly hear me.
Not many people would understand this, but the awakened are here. Vibe high! The world WILL get better for humanity. Times running out for you know who
@@cameroncastleman6496 thank you for this 💜 we are like the stars in the night sky shining our light bright. I have been doing my best through the ups and downs of these energies. I know it's coming together ✨ Thank you starbro✨ your message uplifted me💫
Takes me back to hearing this song on vh1 while staying at my grandma's house here in Bosnia while the country was still recovering from a devastating war. I credit my grandma for helping me discover so much great music. She sadly passed away from cancer in 2017 and never got to see me enroll in my dream art school, hope you're in a better place now grandmama :')

For everyone here missing Nelly Furtado, you should know she released new music last year. She went on a more personal and alternative route. But it is still wonderfully done and a breeze of fresh air comparing to nowadays music. Show some love to her latest music since it was completely ignored by the media. Her single was pipe dreams. beautiful
@Luis Gonzalez it doesn't have to be the same. and the only reason you think it has to be is because you're yearning for the same chemical nostalgia that this song gives you.
It wasn’t ignored by the media, she just decided not to promote any singles or the album because she just wanted to share the music with her fans and that’s it.
Os jovens precisão de ouvir musicas e videoclipes assim como este da nelly furtado faz tanto tempo contínua a fazer sentido a liberdade é muito importante❤❤❤😂
I remember when my sis in law called nelly weird. She said alotta my music tastes was weird. And the more she called them weird, the more i wanted to listen. Its like so is being w/ my incestrial bro where he openly admitted to her he was like that towards before i even got to ms, but she doesnt want to talk about that part. Or the part where her parents bailed on her & how they wouldve never made it as parents if not for my own. But she mowt likely doesnt want to talk qbout that part either. & Of course, theyre weird too for her. Cant he as bad as her dad damn hitting on me. I hate them & prob y i hate all ppl now. Im prob heing dramatic but none of that helped either. Someone tells u those things, its not like u cant ever unhear it. & I know damn well, she low key thinks about those things every single day of her life. & Its not that i dont want connection w/ my nieces. I just dont want the connection they have to others & would rather not have them reach out to my own. Like who the hell even allows reaching out w/ out consent, & Still over steps it? 1 of those prime exs of i dont give a flying f what degree, what status uve reached, yada yada. U still lack some damn commin sense. & Just bc u have materials, doesnt make u any less gross. Anyways :/, this song kind of just reminds me to stay humble. I try to hide my crazy but idk either. What disruption i may form out of it. Bc im always moving onto the next interest bc f u anyways, yeah
@@JesusGomez-ob2qt wrong. Every generation has gems and it takes time for people to appreciate. Also metal was born and really developed in the 80s, along with some amazing rock n roll. From one music lover to the next (you), don't get stuck in one decade. Fly like a bird
what are you talking about?! She's talking that she cant get attached to a guy and at the end, she's letting herself go, getting caught by a lot of men. She's basically the "promiscuous girl", getting a train ran on her!

Extraño esa época. Cuando era todo más natural, sencillo, bonito, letras con sentido, se apreciaba realmente lo que implica el artista en si. no como ahora.. mujeres desnudas, promiscuas, letras en contra del hombre y viceversa, es estar en una batalla constante de egos!.. el amor no es lo que solía ser...
This song was everywhere in May 2001. That month, I went on a silent retreat, and my spiritual director told me to think of myself as being like a bird. So guess what song I had stuck in my head for the rest of the retreat? And guess what the first song on the radio was when I got in the car to go home from the retreat?
Nelly Furtado was my first crush because this music video ... I was 9 and got really embarrassed by my best mates older sister because she called me out in it! 😄 good times! It's also a great song. Such an amazing voice :)
@@irw4350 this could not be further from the truth. Of course, there are a lot of awful pop songs, but there are *soooo* many good ones. Damn, you really haven't lived smh
Omar__ you should check out Dragula if you like the weird side of Drag! Some of the challenges are a little intense if you’re squeamish but it does a great job at representing the side of drag that Drag Race doesn’t want to show.

I remember being 6 years old hearing this song and watching the video on T.V Much Music played it all the time. This song is an anthem for all the kids who grew up in the late 90's and early 2000's

@@radasharamdeo67 2009 is where the video is uploaded on youtube, the song itself is from 2000. Even though, the mv was already made around 2000-2001 I guess
So much early childhood nostalgia... being born in late '97, while I don't really remember very well when this song came out in 2000, I can at least clearly remember when it was still new and mainstream in 2001 and 2002. I remember this song would always play when my mom would pick me up from preschool in the 2001-02 school year, good times, glad I can still remember it vividly.
Batu X Trent Anders I agree with him, it's kind of nostalgic, and you get some feeling of "sadness", like wanting to go back to the good old days, when this was the jam. Not to be negative, but it is also sad that we probably won't be hearing from Nelly Furtado again...
2024-06-24 : I am 65 years of age. I feel like I am listening to this for the first time. Where was I in the 1990s? Of interest and amusement to me this musical - visual RU-vid I found via Weight Watchers’ social media ‘Connect’ and right now I do feel a bit …I don’t know where my soul is and yes, I am flying and landing where I want to. I feel good. I feel alive.
+thiagopooh86 yes, right with you there!!! If only, my teen years on the whole have been shit compared to a pretty great childhood. If you invent time travel, can I join you?😅
I’m 35 now but when I was in the 3rd 4th grade I would go to recess on the swing set go as high as I can and sing this song I felt so good I will never forget 🤍💐🫡
because most of the people on youtube are braindead NPCs obsessed with celebrity worship or stupid kids who only care about trends to increase their own popularity. the vast majority here commenting about Crystal Whatever had never even heard this true classic of a song til it was featured on some retarded reality show. welcome to humanity, my friend.
