Anyone ever randomly think about songs you used to ride and die for when you used to be someone who you don’t even remember anymore? These are definitely one of those songs for me. Man I miss the old me.
Been feeling that a lot lately can’t say my life is the worst but I guess above anything the thing I miss the most is dreaming of the person I could be not who I am
P_WIZ One of the only? I hope you find others. I am 54 and white but love hip-hop. I watched it begin and evolve. I feel so fortunate to have seen it break and grow from my outside-the-box, confused curiosity.. I did not understand it and thought Dre was gonna mess me up! (I was a dumb ass but young and raised in a cocoon of caucasionism). It scared me but I could not stop watching on MTV and listening elsewhere. Yo! MTV RAPS had me glued to the TV. Hope I find more rap and you find more like this.
I see ur a O.G to the game and definitely with more wisdom than me and I have recently started getting interested in the Fray after just hearing You found me and Save a life on the radio a few times and I am expanding my horizons in musical tastes.
Hamflabagaba Underrated by who? It's all a matter of a person's musical taste. Personally, I don't care for it, while many others probably like it. It's rather subjective.
Sang this last night at karaoke for my 35th birthday. Most of the room knew the chorus - I’d never sing it in public before but I did the most faithful vocals I could. Lots of high-fives from strangers :)
I think we all have that one person who we allow to break us over and over again but there always comes the day when, on the verge of shattering, we get the courage to keep driving and never turn the car around again.
It's called personal growth and tones of strength. And of course the people that you know, love, and trust standing right beside you. Tho it's sad, most people don't have that.
@@krw2004 People don't move on from bad things they simply get good at hiding the scares. You can be happy and still dark about the bad things which happened to you. Everything that made you in this moment happened and can not be undone.
Not to denigrate your experience, but the song actually leans towards the 'protagonist' eventually, and habitually, going back to his ex (..."I always turn the car around"). Anyway, glad to hear you left your abusive situation.
Holy shit, I finally found the song I was obsessed with on the radio years and years ago. I'd basically forgotten it up till now. Still holds up surprisingly. Love it.
My Trader Joe's just now played it in the store....I was rocking out....& thanked the manager for playing it....hadn't heard it in a while...GREAT old song!
I will say this song was very hard to find but I am glad I found it I have been singing this song alot and it felt good to sing I love this song to this song gives me clarity in life and now we are in 2021 and even though things are bad things will get better
This song brings back so many memories..4h1 if you remember..but to this day I listen to this song. I was strung out and pregnant at the time. And now 2024 I'm sober and my daughter is going to be 14 yrs old..it's a song i will never stop listening to
@@nelsonrosa785 Same Here...Mcdonalds in South America. Its a little bit curious why they use this type of songs for their locals...Marketing meanings?
***** Have you heard their new single...I Go Through (Off XX-the new cd)....or Peace...off their second last CD? Both are great. The video for Peace is pretty cool but my gosh what a great song it is. If you like Shattered I think you'll like Peace and I Go Through. MHO.
In a way, I need a change From this burnout scene Another time, another town, another everything But it's always back to you Stumble out in the night From the pouring rain Made the block, sat and thought There's more I need It's always back to you But I'm good without ya Yeah I'm good without you Yeah, yeah, yeah How many times can I break till I shatter? Over the line, can't define what I'm after I always turn the car around Give me a break, let me make my own pattern All that it takes is some time But I'm shattered I always turn the car around I had no idea that the night Would take so damn long Took it out, on the street While the rain still falls Push me back to you But I'm good without ya Yeah I'm good without you Yeah, yeah, yeah How many times can I break till I shatter? Over the line, can't define what I'm after I always turn the car around Give me a break, let me make my own pattern All that it takes is some time But I'm shattered I always turn the car around Give it up, give it up baby Give it up, give it up now, now How many times can I break till I shatter? Over the line, can't define what I'm after I always turn the car around All that I feel is the realness I'm faking Taking my time But its time that I'm wasting I always turn the car around How many times can I break till I shatter? Over the line, can't define what I'm after I always turn the car around Don't wanna turn that car around I gotta turn this thing around
This is exactly where I'm at right now. Can't define what I'm after. Taking my time but it's time that I'm wasting. Always turn the car around. But I'm gonna make it.
That's the perfect way to describe my current situation. I don't know what to do either. Thing is, I never expected myself to make it this far, so I really didn't make any plans in the past because I thought I wouldn't ever need to. :(
I don't understand the lack of views because this song was really popular in the late 2000's, every radio station was playing this and the other people in the comments are right, it's still being heavily played today. Great song though, just my style :)
This song reminds me of my life during my drug addiction and my sobriety, I wish I could turn around and relive my life without the drugs then I could remember who I was and how things made me feel, I wonder if I wasn't shattered and if I would be better off just turning around.
No don’t turn around. I feel with addiction mines alcohol and this song resonates with my life as well. We’re stronger than we know and there’s no victory in turning the car around.
For me it's my addiction to an ex girlfriend. I'd move apart strong and willed and then eventually shatter turning the car around and around and around. I still turn the car around but its ben 3 yrs apart now not looking like either will turn bak. Eitherway, today all I feel is the realness I'm faking to others around me daily that have no clue inside I'm fkn shattered. Love this song wish it was longer with more home hitting lyrics. I can't sing along without shattering my heart chest and soul everytime I play it
I heard this on Sirius Radio this morning. I forgot about this song and how much I loved it back then, so went on to watch the video this morning. A shame that VH-1 and MTV don't have videos anymore.
If you searched for and listened to this 11 yr old amazing song, you are much more awesome than you know! Great music helps everything! Thank you O.A.R.!!!
+Pinolero90 This song is just one of many current examples that there is plenty of good music out there now. Take it from a teen from the eighties. I mean: The eighties were magnificent, but there was plenty of crap made then too ;) OAR made a superb album, and I would love to see them live.
I finally found this song after years of searching for it. I remember sitting in my car and listening to it in college and crying. I knew I had misinterpreted the lyrics but for me it so adequately described the feelings of depression. I'm 47 now and I still suffer from depression, and for some reason I would like this played at my funeral. Such a haunting, evocative, passionate and purely beautiful song.
This song plays at my job, and everytime it does I jam. The rhythm is addictive, and the lyrics/message are just so relative to what most of us go through. Thank you!🙏🏾💯
:/ what if the universe really did talk to u? Or maybe technology just trips ish up when linked. Bc somexs when I go out it's like wow, sounds like my playlists actually, wth. Or it's like I'm not the only 1 who listens to this? I heard this at a gas station recently & was like I really almost forgot about this. Yrs later & it still fits, sigh. Also kinda does just make me feel like I've been alone for so long. My young adult yrs is def not the same as others. & most of these ,"coming of age" songs r just that to me. Just dedicating things to myself bc how else was I supposed to sort through ish w/ out any real guidance. But I kind of do feel like I did everything backwards. Pretty much forced to grow up on my own & feeling like it wasn't fair I had to miss out on my youth unlike all the other "normal" home grown breeds. ..& All kinds of fd up ness later. But I guess I had to go through things to appreciate other ish more, apparently. I guess that's what happens when that foundation is corrupt to begin with. & y do I get the feeling that ppl think I make it look easy. Or even manage to be envious of my struggles somehow. Knowing or not. Just bc I don't show that I bleed enough for ur entertainment doesn't mean I'm any less human. Anyways, I really actually hate being me somexs. Overload on the emos, stubborn on the independence. If I somehow manage to make that look glitzy, thx. Bc I had to go through a shit load of all of the abuses & torment to get here. Also also I'm raggin right now. But maybe that's besides the pt :/. Also also also completely random but this resident person whipped out this thing & told me how she had to shove it up her whoha for health reasons. Just looking at that thing it's like yeah I gathered that much. But somexs when ppl verbalize things out loud...& U just hafta accept & register that no matter how awkward ppl get, I guess it's just human 🙄. But 😅 thx for sharing anyways. Also also also also I'll never forget how ppl treated me as a kid. Signing me up for things I never even asked for. Like honestly, f u. F u f u & f u too. Trying to treat me like I'm the 1 who's some permaf. I hope they carry that to their ends of their days I gotta be that important to ppl..
I know that most people interpret this song as wish of running away from an abusing partner, but sometimes it's just the communications which fails and a person can feel overwhelmed by other's emotions or strong attachment and leaves without trying to talk and improve the situation. I rewrote the lyrics, so they show this problem from other side, maybe someone will like them. 'Shattered (reprise?)' In a way, I need a change From this burnout scene Another time, another town Another everything All things remind me of you Stumble out, in the night From the pouring rain Made the block, sat and thought There's more I need It's caused by lack of you I'm not good without ya I'm not good without you Yeah, yeah, yeah How many times can I break 'til I shatter? Over the line thought I’m one what you’re after You always seemed to feel fine around No need for break or to make our new pattern All that it takes is some space to feel shattered And always be somewhere around I had no idea that the night Would take so damn long Took it out, on the street While the rain still falls Far away from you I'm not good without ya I'm not good without you Yeah, yeah, yeah How many times can I break 'til I shatter? Over the line thought there’s one thing we’re after And always play another round Gave you a break so you’d make your own pattern All that it takes is some time but I shatter But always I respect you enough Give it up, give it up, baby Turn back up, please come back, now Now How many times can I break 'til I shatter? Over the line can define what I'm after We part ways and I won’t chase you down All that I feel is toughness that keeps shaking Taking my time but without you it’s wasted All terms seem to fall apart How many times can I break 'til I shatter? Over the line you’re the one what I'm after I’ll never turn the car around Don't wanna turn that car around I gotta turn this thing around
Just rediscovered this song again, after missing it for about 20 years... Ah yes that Subaru with a big Sony Car Audio system, this song got blasted on the highway, regularly! So good to find this song again!
These guys started their musical journey as college students at Ohio State playing at Frat & Sorority parties. Saw them live out in Phoenix in 2017 at the PHX/ WM Birds Nest concert and they were out of this world!
For those of us who have ever experienced a toxic relationship, thinking that things will eventually get better despite all of the madness, this song hits home
I remember seeing this video while getting ready for work one morning. I always tuned the T.V. to VH1, and it resonated with me so much as I was going through a rough part of my life. I felt just like you were singing about. One of my favorites then. Recently I found some new stuff y'all have done, so Thankful you are still doing what you were meant to be doing. Thanks for the memories and the new ones to come. Love you guys and love the new songs. GOD BLESS 🙏💖
been listening to this song for yeara but had not heard it in a very long time but I can relate to alot of others. After having thoughts of suicide so many times especially now with an abusive partner ive gone through hell and back.
Allegedly my dad was asked to be the drumer of this band (wootton high school Potomac MD late 80s) but didnt accept and here i am born from the what not but reminded of the what if
I happened to hear this brilliant song when I was an international student in Denver, CO in like 2010. Now I came back and live in China. "Reviewing" the song really brings those happy memories to me - busy afternoon in the Marcus Commons on campus, those hot coffees, the pretty girl classmates with a "shy" heart. I want so bad to go over those extra happy days again!! 😅
@@user-rx6jj9ws7x So nice! Yep I heard that American folks mostly think that Colorado is so suitable for living, except that it’s expensive.. This song definitely brings memories because the style is so representative of the years it was just out. Good luck with life. I will add you to my list.
I love this song Nice to know some one that needs you so bad they turn the car around to come back to you just to see you again before they leave again really nice to be loved like that.
Brilliant song from a very talented group.....have always loved this american type of feelgood uplifting melodic .....just bloody good good songs.....god bless you my wonderful america !!!......u gave me such fantastic memories....god bless and please dont forget to b kind to each other good karma so important xx 😇🥰😎❤❤
Back in the early 2000s when I was a kid, I used to sing this to my aunt and mother. I remembered all the lyrics and found it after so long. Never knew the name of the song, but I finally found it again!
The first time I heard this song was in the car after seeing my mother get hit by her boyfriend for the first time. For many reasons my mother and I are no contact. For fourteen years, even though this is a makeup/breakup song, this will always be about my mother
