We, as a human species, absolutely messed up in not making them more famous in the aughts. Diversity with lyrics pushing for personal growth and great vocals...what? How is this so much better than my high school brain was able to process at that time. I'm buying their new stuff right now.
I mean I always thought they were amazing… But I totally wish everybody else would’ve agreed with me. So I agree with you that we definitely needed them at Backstreet boy level. Ugh Jacob was always my favorite 😅 look at that pretty face and that lovely opening to the song!
Those WERE the days.... 2002.... I was 14 going on 15. I still have this CD. I still listen to it. I'm so glad they got back together, even if Ashley isn't with them. They've aged like fine wine!
I still remember my high school days with my stereo next to me in bed and this song on repeat. So nostalgic. All my teenage years pouring through my memories right now.
Motel, sitting in the dark Empty room like an empty heart Lovers stop, but they never stay They don't look back as they Drive away Maybe I can fix this broken neon light Fill in the cracks and paint it bright That maybe love will stop here tonight And if she knocks on my door I'll give her the key Just one look in her eye And I know I'll be Everything that she sees in me More than I ever thought I could Be, but... These are the days When all that I can do is dream But I don't wanna spend forever Living in the in between I'm stuck here in a place without love And I just can't let it stay this way But for now I'm gonna have to face it These are the days I gotta use this lonely time To change the picture in my frame of mind Outside the window there's a sunny day I wanna feel it on my face You and I... We're out here looking for the same thing An end to all the wondering Waiting for someone to share this feeling And if she knocks on my door I'll give her the key Just one look in her eyes And I know I'll be Everything that she sees in me More than I ever thought I could be but... These are the days When all that I can do is dream But I don't wanna spend forever Living in the in between I'm stuck here in a place without love And I just can't let it stay this way But for now I'm gonna have to face it These are the days These are the days between your hopes and fears These are the moments that are still unclear It's still uncertain if she will appear But like it or not This is what I got Oh but These are the days When all that I can do is dream But I don't wanna spend forever Living in the in between I'm stuck here in a place without love And I just can't let it stay this way But for now I'm gonna have to face it 'Cause these are the days These are the days When all that I can do is dream But I don't wanna spend forever Living in the in between I'm stuck here in a place without love And I just can't let it stay this way But for now I'm gonna have to face it These are the days
While I'm watching this I am a little teary eyed because I'm extremely excited they're back after how many years it's been since they were together. Listening to this in 2019. And you guys are still lookin' fine as hell & your new song sounds amazing. I'm forever a faithful fan. I love you OTOWN. :)
Bad management destroyed this band before they could truly gel and become successful, To me personally this song and video will always be a favorite. I hope wherever they are that they are well.
One of my favorite songs of their's. My friend Alex and I used to sing this at karaoke. They remain one of my favorite boy bands of all time. It's true. They were not given enough credit for how talented that they were. After their first album, and, sadly, at the same time the public's disillusionment with boy band music at that time, OTown's popularity disappeared. I'm glad that they're reunited now and are doing some shows again. 🥰
Got introduced to O-Town in late 2012 with the song "We Fit Together". Heard "These Are the Days" in early 2013, my school days were about to get over and I chose this song to be the perfect farewell anthem on my mind.
O-Town had so much talent, they deserved to be recognized on greater terms. For such a short time of their fame they have still impacted my life with their music.
If the corporate dudes had just let these guys sing like this to begin with, they would probably have gotten much further in their career. By far this is there best song and it allows them to be themselves.
Albums como este fueron los que me hicieron pensar en la musica detras de la musica, amo los arreglos de esta cancion.. gran produccion vocal, me encanta esta banda :')
Dan and Jacob are so immensely talented. O-Town was a very underrated band. They had several things working against them: 1. They started at the end of the "boy band" era. The craze that started with BSB started to fizzle out during the very early 2000's. O-Town was a few years late. 2. They had bad management: having their names attached to Lou Pearlman certainly didn't help, but their creative team (along with Clive Owen) didn't let them use the songs the band members wrote; instead, they were forced to use to same-old recycled garbage that - by that time - was worn out. 3. They were put together by a reality show: it usually takes bands years to truly come together, and these guys were rushed on to the scene before they had gelled as a group. It's all such a shame because they really did have a lot of promise, but like I said, there were too many factors working against them. And once you're individually pegged as a "boy band" it's almost impossible to have a successful solo career - with the exception of Timerlake and Harry Styles. JC Chasez, for all the talent he possessed, was a total failure on his own. The same goes for Nick Lache, Rich Cronin, Nick Carter, etc.
Idk if you can still see my reply but... BsB is my favorite boyband (because of my big sister) in their times but hearing O-town songs in our JS promenade makes me flutter. These are the days, all or nothing, painter are my fave o-towns song. And I thought purest of pain (by son by four, latin boy band) sang by them.
I am still absolutely in love with this song!! Even with the new stuff out, I always turn some of the old on. The vibe and feel are totally different from album 1 to 2 which was a lot more edgy a lot more rock, which I think fits them so much better over "pop" boy band. With the release of 3 and only 4 guys I've gotta say, as much as I miss Ashley (my favorite 10 years ago), I think I like the vibe album 3 has better all the way around. I appreciate the hard work and dedication put in to it by each of them, running your own business is pretty tough and coming back at a time when "pop" isn't the way pop was 10 years ago is an even bigger challenge. I'm looking forward to more tunes from y'all! Hopefully this isn't the start and end again for you! Hoping to see some Michigan dates on the tour calendar! Gotta relive my 20's with y'all in person!
Empath tube gal must check that out . Well he's is a Taurus .grounded like myself and I think all the O Town dude are very talented . I enjoy reading and learning about humans in this life .it's what us hippie Budda ? Spiritual being s do .I get busy but always make time for what you enjoy doing in this life .it gos by so fast well I jus made comment now I must listen to song. I really do think they are super talented ..I git music in my being too .common bonds are nice ..I always say what I mean in this life .simple is good and sometimes I prob should jus be and keep thoughts to myself I trying bit the only thing I worry for .and must speak up when as an earth I only time I do is if I feel harm could come about. Only thing I worry for is the Ash dude s son .btw I think the name is super awesome ( lyric ) sometimes I feel exploiting young humans can be dangerous I seem to see it so many times in the media .young people falling off track as so many beautiful talented child actors did . Buy hopeful that won't happen to him . It does not always happen .as a super good example look at Eddie van Halen son ...very very awes .I think his close fam ties. helped him a lot. Well ok now name of song caught my eye .I will check it out . Empath s see everything and we get so tired at times .
I absolutely am screaming and swooning inside for the boys to be back making a come back I'm so.into not bands again I can't help it its just a phase that all young girls go through that we all sometime never get over.ill never maybe get over.
when they first came out i was all about Ashley, now i'm 18 and i'm all about Ikaika. too bad they couldn't be this young again. and Ikaika come back, so all the fans can be happy! :)
