I heard this song in the credits to The Salton Sea and I fell in love with it. Didn't know who it was or what the song was called and never heard it again. Through the years I would reconstruct it as best I could in my head and stitch my own lyrics into the gaps in my memory. Very powerful song.
I just saw them perform in a small ass dive bar in northern Indiana, there was maybe 30 people there. Hugo came out looking high af, but they killed it! He played this one last, even played the acoustic guitar part himself. It was pretty epic honestly
RIP Trent. I remember a typically crappy little east side bar, after hours, in the early morning sunlight, empty but for us and the employees. You sang this song and I felt privileged to hear you sing, but even more privileged that you let me see some of what you were going through at the time. I truly hope that you do RIP. You were, on the surface, the epitome of human imperfections, but in reality, you were inspiring to those that had the heart to see. You never gave up, except for the last time, though you wanted to, many times. You had the biggest heart, and that was, perhaps, your greatest challenge. You made a difference. If you didn't know that in this life, I hope you know it now.
discovered this band years and years ago when i was very broken and in a very dark period of my life but these guys and many other obscure rock bands helped me get through really rough times..
i have a younger friend goin thru some hard times right now, has been for 1-2 years or so, he said the same, a few relatively smaller new bands and Shinedown have been pullin him through.....
Seen these dudes live on Saturday in Little Rock with Hed PE. They're still amazing! They chilled at their merch booth, still down to earth dudes! So pleasant to talk with! Hope they come back soon
Was fortunate enough to get to see them this past Saturday night I got the guitar pick he used while singing Mourning when he threw it and was lucky enough to get a picture with him also. They are hands down my favorite everything 💙
My brother introduced me to Tantric...and Day's Of The New and blew my mind. He passed away July 2nd, and here I am, taking a trip down memory lane and there's no better place to be than here listening to this right now.. For you, Little big brother John 💙
Reminds me of a much simpler time... and ill be honest... I miss the old days, the days when the most stress we had was high-school relationships and gas money... I wish life didn't get dome complicated... but hey thank God for RU-vid so we can escape for a little while into the good old days!
This song has a special meaning for me now. It reminds me of my father who passed away last week. He and I weren't close because nothing I could do was ever good enough for him. It wasn't until years later that I discovered that had nothing to do with me. He was one of those people for whom nothing anyone could do was good enough.
I haven't listened to this song in over 5 years and probably haven't seen this video since it came out. Brings back memories when I was a teen. Actually seeing music videos on MTV and hearing this song on the radio. I know coming on here and streaming services kill music sales these days which sucks but I will say it's nice to be able to come watch a video I haven't seen since I was 16 years old. This brings back memories. I miss when rock music was bigger like it was back at this time this video was released.
And just to emphasize a little more...a lot of the bands that came out around this time are still around but aren't getting acknowledged as much as they used to. Some of the bands on active rock radio sure. However as far as the mainstream goes for the past 3 or 4 years only these indie pop so-called rock groups are getting more acknowledged and it sucks...just my opinion.
i sang this to my now ex wife because i knew she was screwing around on me. But what she didn't know i knew she was, and she got pissed when i sang it to her. And now life goes on
Wow, been listening to a couple of their songs for quite a few years ....just now, I looked up at the monitor at the video...and WHOA!! double take....this guy is totally adorable...and I dont care what anyone thinks....but in my opinion...this band has a great sound and distinct style, from what I have seen...I like em!!
what a great song! love the story it tells and the fact that the lead singer, Hugo, actually wrote this song...indy really enjoyed seeing this band they ROCK!
The first time I heard tantric was when I was seven years old and Breakdown was playing on the radio. 12 years later and I am still a die hard tantric fan
amazing...brings back memories of my life, my ex ,my past.....to realize your mistakes and your failures is the first step in getting back your life, which is what i've been trying to do for the past 3 years. the fact i can now listen to this song and go on with my life is just great...thank u tantric for writing this piece of art. cheers!
I saw these guys open up for Kid Rock in 2001 in Michigan. i was right up front and got to shake hands with the lead singer. never heard of them before that show. bought this album shortly after. wish they would make a new album.
+Nicholas Maloney Tantric is still around. It has a different lineup but Hugo has been making music all these years. He just put out a new album last year and is recording a new one right now. Todd has his own band now called Whitener and they are releasing a new EP next month. Jesse (the bass player) is in the Louisville Crashers. Matt (the drummer) isn't doing to much really since he got out of prison years ago
mk floyd I also The Salton Sea is a great film. For that matter, anytime I need a laugh, there are quite a few funny bits in that film. The primary subject matter is serious. Great film.
First time I heard this. Just finished thirty six hour student surgical call at UT Medical School Houston, 2003. This was just starting on my radio as I parked. Great song, listened all the way through. Even though tired to the bone great music revives!
What a great band and wonderful voice , Been thru this sh$t to many times in my life , Now im just 57 and lonely the good ones always come in last i guess .
I was on a road trip with family after a bad breakup and this song came on. I damn near had a nervous breakdown trying to keep my shit together. It was brutal.
I used to listen to this song when my dad would pick me and my brother up from my mother and it made such an impact on my life and I still listen to it today and feel like I’m 10 years old all over agin
Love the car in this video. My dad had a 69 cutlass vinyl top. I know the car in this video is like a 71 or 72 , but those cars from that era already reminds of my dad . RIP Dad.
Seen these guys 3 dif times courtesy of 97.9x.twoce for this album and once for first album when they toured with 3doors down after 3dds another 700 miles album and they have killed it everytime. I smoked a cig and chilled with lead outside the woodlands in pa and he's an awesome guy. This band will forever hold a place in my heart.
always been a Tantric fan and always will be.....Hugo, the talent you have is sheltered by studios and radio and it's fucked up that songs you did 5 years ago are played here and there but your new music is outstanding yet it's like your being shelved....keep it up Fam.....hope to see you soon and party like the old days my friend...
My family will never forget this band. I was pregnant with twins the first time we heard of or saw them in 2001 and ended up naming one of our twin boys after the band. My ex husband and I have met Hugo a few times and he knows the story.
Still here, love you guy...seen that the token lounge..I'm 50, but seen Days of the New in downtown Pontiac Michigan it was my bday, ya invited us to your hotel in Southfield...I was turning 25.. wow! Hugo, I love you!
Just saw these guys for the last show of their tour and the crowd was so minimal that it was basically a private show. Hung out after the show with the group and watched an impromptu drum session with the drummer, singer, and a few fans on the drummers kit. All of them were very down to Earth and took the time to talk to everyone.
I just watched the Salton Sea for the 1st time in a very long while and boom.... there's a great song I had forgotten about. A song that had a lot of meaning to me way back then.
I realize this video is almost 20 years old but I just found it. The lead singer looks like a cross between Sully from Godsmack and Ryan Gosling. And I'm digging the Olds!
Is there something that you are trying to say Don't hold back now It's been a long time since I felt this way So don't hold back now I purposely forgot about Loving anyone Cause I'm the only one who has Who has been stepped upon Is there something that you are trying to say Cause I can take it Cause I grew up a man this way And if I'm hurt I'll shake it I'll crawl back into my cave That's how I'll make it Cause out of all this hurt we have Beauty thus become Beauty thus become In the mourning I can see the sights No wonder I could never keep you satisfied In the mourning I can see inside Myself and all the things that you were trying to hide Wishing all the best for you And now I will say goodbye Cause all the shit that we've been through Put wisdom in my eyes So walk away, don't turn around Cause I won't be standing here Cause all the lies that I've been living through Are becoming very clear And beauty thus become Then you conned me into thinking That all I had was you The small insinuations Were cutting me through Cutting me through And now I stand alone here Stronger than before And I'll never go back Never go back Never go Then you conned me into thinking That all I had was you The small insinuations Were cutting me through Cutting me through Then you conned me into thinking That all I had was you The small insinuations Were cutting me through Cutting me through
I don’t know how tantric isn’t way more popular they don’t have as many top hits like creed and others but they are still one of the best to ever do it. I’d love to still go see them in 2021
