I was 9, maybe 10 when this came out and I was visiting family in Mexico. I didn't have cable where I lived, but they did and I LOVED watching MTV. This song came out along with Jamicorauai and some others. All of which I hated backed then. But now at 31 I can really appreciate this simple, but humble song
This was the 'theme song' of me and my girl 24 years a go, when we just started our relationship. My first love, first girlfriend, now she's my wife. This song will be forever in our heart. And from musical perspective, this song is timeless.
The best era of our lifetime. I miss the 90s dearly, it was a peak time for civilisation. Music, tv, movies, books, everyone was out more, before cell phones really took off.
Cell phones ruined human interaction, and gave governments everywhere eyes and ears into everything. I feel so badly for the younger generations that have grown up knowing nothing but parallel lives in a sterile and sterile digital jungle, in constant subtle paranoia of reputation and recordings. Modern culture is so ugly and voyeuristic.
One of my absolute favorite songs. Makes me think and feel so many different things all at once. Romance, love, butterflies, memories, nostalgia, warmth, happiness, even a touch of sadness... it has it all.
I was 17 years old in 1999 when i first listened to this song and watched the movie she's all that. Now 21 years later i am 38 years old still listening to this song and watch the movie on dvd. Both the movie and the song doesn't bore me at all!
@@juliap7406 This song was a soundtrack for this movie title She's all that from the year 1999 starring Freddie Prince Jr Matthew Lillard the late Paul Walker Rachael Leigh Cook.
Hey, I’m also a 38 year old dude in 2023 but when I hear this I’m suddenly 15 and back in the year 1999. It makes me both happy and sad at the same time. Peace to ya my fellow 38 year old dudes in 2023. ✌🏼
Lyrics : Kiss me, out of the bearded barley Nightly, beside the green, green grass Swing, swing, (swing, swing) swing the spinning step You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress Oh, kiss me, beneath the milky twilight Lead me out on the moonlit floor Lift your open hand Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance Silver moon's sparkling So kiss me Kiss me, (kiss me) down by the broken tree house Swing me, (swing me) upon its hanging tire Bring, bring, (bring, bring) bring your flowered hat We'll take the trail marked on your father's map Oh, kiss me, beneath the milky twilight Lead me out on the moonlit floor Lift your open hand Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance Silver moon's sparkling So kiss me Kiss me, beneath the milky twilight Lead me out on the moonlit floor Lift your open hand Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance Silver moon's sparkling So kiss me So kiss me So kiss me So kiss me
I miss the 90s vibe and the vibe in the air. There was a silent, steady electricity that we took for granted, in the air still. We never thought it would go away!
@@JoeSmith-jp7bk shoot not in california with the night stalker actually that devil worshipping freak came to my aunts house while me and my mom and my 3 cousins were home and her husband just had bought my aunt a gun for protection because he would be away on trips for days anway he was trying to get in and was just banging on the door and kicking it. My aunt grabbed the gun and stood in front of the door about 15 feet away waiting for him to bust it down and she would going to end his crap that night but for some reason he stopped and ran away like he could feel she had a gun or something. This was early before he became the "night stalker" she saw his face through window and later said that was him. I don't remember it but my mom does I was very young toddler age. The 80s and 90s were full of crazies and serial killers
One of the dreamiest songs out of the 90s. I was eight when this came out, but immediately loved it... Such a wistful romantic song. Reminds me of youthful love.
I've said this before and I'll say it again: this song is a peaceful summer evening translated into musical notes. I'm sitting in my bedroom as I type this with evening falling on a day in midspring. It was nice in the afternoon but it's now a bit too cool to have the windows open. Nonetheless, as I listened to this song for the umpteenth time, I felt a warm, lazy breeze float past me while fireflies bobbed around in it like boats on a lake. I am an old metal head and love all manner of loud, angry music but somehow, over 20 years later, this is just about the only song that can elicit a strong emotional reaction in me and draw out my most over the top prose when describing it.
@@ryanahr2267 Yesterday afternoon I was at the farmer's market buying fresh squash and cucumbers. A couple of young musicians were there to provide some entertainment for the shoppers. They played this song and it sounded so much like the real thing. There I was buying produce on a warm and breezy beautiful summer day, listening to this beautiful, magical, nostalgic song. It was a happy moment in time.
Lyrics Kiss me out of the bearded barley Nightly beside the green, green grass Swing, swing, swing the spinning step You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight Lead me out on the moonlit floor Lift your open hand Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance Silver moon's sparkling So, kiss me Kiss me down by the broken tree house Swing me upon its hanging tire Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat We'll take the trail marked on your father's map Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight Lead me out on the moonlit floor Lift your open hand Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance Silver moon's sparkling So, kiss me Kiss me beneath the milky twilight Lead me out on the moonlit floor Lift your open hand Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance Silver moon's sparkling So kiss me So, kiss me So kiss me So kiss me
Ah the 1990's. When music was about art, form, and creativity. When movies weren't a political agenda. Before NAFTA took full swing and destroyed America's self sustained economy where even young teenagers worked at McDonalds and bagged groceries. When people were sane, for the most part polite, and industry was a magnum opus. It was a beautiful time in American history with all probability that will never again be seen due to Liberal politicians making a political statement in every avenue of life they can. This song really does take me back. I remember watching it on Mtv when Mtv was.... well..... Mtv...... MUSIC VIDEOS. This song brings back so many memories of my teenaged life it makes me want to cry. Life was not perfect for my family in any regard, but it didn't matter. You see.... back then people really were content, and selflessness wasn't a dirty word. I miss those days so much. I doubt we'll ever see times like that again. America is too far gone now. What we call "progress" is the ultimate destroyer of any society either past or present. It's too bad. My family didn't have a lot, but life was good. It's such a shame. Take care now.
I am one of those rare gen z people that really wishes I was born in the 80's, holy shit everything was amazing, AND I get to enjoy modern technology after my brain is fully developed. Turn of the century type shit.
@@Flubbsxx it really was fun, check out some older music videos like Madonna, Sting, Bruce Springsteen, Queen, Metallica and definitely check out some older movies like Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles and stuff like that. I’m 50 and I can tell ya those times were amazing! Ask your parents. Also check out Vanilla Ice’s 90’s Mustang. You’ll thank me later. Goodluck in life!! 16 was an amazing age for me!!
Love this song! I graduated in 85. Married in 92. Our kids were little when this came out. Brings back so many good memories. Before the world literally went nuts.
It used to be the world was big enough you could just move if things were going nuts. Now going nuts is a damn plague and no matter where you go it'll follow. Hope you don't have a nut allergy and beat the nuts back regardless.
This is my first time listening to the original song. I was watching Kiss Me (Kill Me) and wanted to hear the original just to see how similar the two were. Still gave me shivers, I was waiting for the song to turn suddenly, but nothing.
Yeah, it's spooky how despite the song being completely upbeat, it has a looming fear of turning dark after having watched Kiss me (Kill me). -Also here from watching that of course.
I dunno if it was better in terms of political climate, social awareness, etc, but however you slice it the 90s were far less miserable and predictable than the last decade has been. I know that's probably nostalgia glasses talking, but, as elzar said above me, I do miss it as well.
I had completely forgotten about this song, then got transported right back to the 90s when I heard it here again. It seems like you blink and an era is over. Sad, but good memories. Hard to describe the feelings.
Just heard this on the radio today and was hit by a wave of nostalgia so strong it brought tears to my eyes. The world has gotten so insane since this was released. I would do a great many things to have it back the way it was.
I do the same thing. Geez, I miss the world we knew and took for granted. Everything we knew is gone. Regional department stores that were around for over 100 years gone, 27 airlines down to 6, traditions that were cherished gone. Worldwide governments have become more corrupt than could ever have imagined. Christian values our countries were founded on have been tossed. People dress like slobs and have no concern for their fellow man or national pride. Give them their phones, tablets and social media and they are happy. So sad.
Absolute truth…watching this…you can feel how much better the world was in 1999 & just how far we’ve fallen in this country in 24 years…it’s almost unbelievable how far we’ve fallen
You always get that classic wild and undeniable 90's/2000's teenage romance vibes from such love songs, not only they were in almost all teenage movies and teenage tv shows expressing romantic and sad moments between two of love, it also felt the same in the real world. Iconic, breath taking just kiss her!
Remember being in a tent in my backyard with a little radio and headphones. Two in the morning, hoping like hell that my radio request would be played. It was. I was hopelessly in love with someone I knew even then that I could never have. She probably never heard the dedication. About twenty-two years later, and we're still friends, we still talk, and while she doesn't know it, I associate this cheesy, romantic little song with her. Always have, always will.
I love this song so much. It might be because of memories. Or the song just has a happy romantic vibe without being too overdramatic. She just wants you in her life, damn it.
So what happens is when something is created, it is time and date stamped. Time is something that is always going to move forward and in this instance, time has continued to move forward, so much that this song has aged. Any other questions?
If that magical 90s never ended, which in my opinion is the best era that we grew up in....Then we wouldn't be stuck with the stupidity of Today's society with Technology being relied on by Today's Youth.
I used to sit by the radio when I was a kid and wait for this song to come on and when it did I would imagine I was flying with the fireflies. Easier times, love this song!
getting ready to turn 40 in 2 months. This song took me back to being 17 and kissing the love of my life while sitting in my little ford ranger with the radio on. It was a beautiful evening in KY. Sadly I lost her in 2001. We broke up and she took her own life. I still love and miss her so much !
This song is so beautifully wrought in the studio. Really tight, iconic use of instrumentation and feel. Real clean. So nice. That bass line after, "Kiss Me," it's just perfect.
1999- Summer in Mexico ! I was 12. In my Grandmas and grandpas home I would watch this on MTV… what a beautiful summer! This song always reminds me of that moment !
I heard the first time on 8 year old, now I'm 26 year old. This song make me think about the autumn season, look around anything as a brown color with the wind cold on sunset ❤
When I was 6 my grandpa picked me up from school and this song played in the car. He gave me a hard time and said ‘don’t you ever kiss boys! Don’t ever get married!’ I was so embarrassed but I always treasured my time with him. He died a little over a year later of cancer at the age of 47. I’m 26 now and when this song comes on the radio all the time I can’t help but cry with this memory. Every time I feel lonely and defeated I hear this song! He’s speaking to me and here I am a single mom, never married and the thought of any relationship now scares me. Crazy how certain things come full circle in our lives in weird, lyrical ways..
October 2020 this song alwyas gets me thinking of our homie we lost early September due to the opioid crisis in BC Canada I love you walker so so much I miss you more then words i talk to you everyday it’s so hard not to hear you talk back you alwyas had so much to say so much insight on my life I need you I miss you I’m staying strong for you lover boy RIP WALKER SAUNDERS 09/04/20
Takes me back to when it was a struggle, but it was simple. Just lean my head against the window and let mom drive as I watched the rain fall down the window.
I used to secretly love this song when I was in my early teens (secretly cause it was too girly) and now when I'm 35 I finally started learning to play the guitar and it makes me so happy to be able to play it and just enjoy it:)
@@darinalaurentson4165 😂avevo appena sentito Lene Marlin e poi ho pensato a questa canzone🥰che ricordi,pelle d'oca.... comunque è vero,le assomiglia...
I saw Sixpence None the Richer in Indianapolis back in the day. Very intimate setting. I will always love this band. I often think of this song to help calm me after a hard day. Cheers 2 all that r now discovering this amazing group.
Despues de muchos años logre escuchar esta cancion sin llorar. Era un niño tenia cerca de 7 años. Caminaba dentro de un deportivo al que mi papa me llevaba con mi hermano, en los altavoces se escuchaba esta cancion. Fue la primera vez que la escuche y se me quedo grabada, incrustada en la memoria. Cada que la escucho me recuerda mi infancia los tiempos que pase junto a mis papas. Aun los extraño pero se que los volvere a ver y cuando eso pase espero esta cancion suene de fondo.
This song. I was 14 years old and we went with a department of our school to the Ardennen in Belgium for a fieldtrip for a few days. On the last day we went to a small bar with a dancefloor on top of a hill. When this song came on, and especially at the 2.00 minute mark of the song everybody went crazy on the dancefloor. I wish we realized at that time how precious this moment would be; a moment in our life without worries, work, bills and stress..while we were young, careless, having fun and having the time of our lives. What a beautiful time to remember. Time flies people...
One thing these classic songs prove is you will never find the hateful attacks people subject each other to, because we are all just too busy vibing and missing our chill childhood.
