Train - Meet Virginia (Official HD Video) 

RIP Charlie Colin (November 22, 1966 - May 22, 2024), aged 57 You will be remembered as a legend

My Dad has passed away this morning and he always had loved this song! I love you Dad, I pray that your now with The Lord! 🙏🏻❤️

Rip Charlie and thanks for EVERYTHING you made special

My mamas name was Virginia....this came out around the same time she died in 1998...i was 19 and utterly alone in this world....this song would comfort me...i cant wait till this life is over so i can go home and meet Virginia...i miss her so much

Just worked his show last night. He deserved more people. What a crowd. That 5000 people sounded like 20000. It was crazy. The staff and I couldn't believe it.

This song kills me every time I listen to it. I always tear up and then eventually just let go crying. My mother passed away in 2011 and she loved this band. Her name was none other than Virginia. Most of the lyrics in this song describe my mom. She was the best mother who gave me the best childhood a little kid could ask for. I am 31 now and miss her so damn much. If you are reading this and you still have your mother, please tell her you love her all the time and hug her tight. I love you mom. I can't wait to meet you again Virginia! Update 4/6/2021 I've been completely surprised by the overwhelming positive responses since I first posted 3 years ago. I wish I could hug you all. Instead I will raise a toast to all of you and enjoy a bottle of wine. Since my post, my wife and I had a baby girl in March 2019. We named our daughter Alice Virginia in memory of my mother and my wife's mother. Both our mothers passed the same year of 2011. I decided to respond again because I just lost my Uncle today. He is my mothers only sibling. They were the best friends of each other, because of losing their own mother as baby's. Their mother was only between 20 or 22 and they were 1 and 2 years old.They formed a bond that could never be broken. They were raised by their father, who died at 55, their grandpa, and their second mommy, their grandma. I was reminiscing and decided to listen music that takes me back to the great times I had with my mom and uncle. Losing my uncle today has literally left me with nobody on my mothers side of her family. I am just devastated. The loss of my uncle was the last of my mothers memory. I am very grateful he was able to represent his mother, father, and my mom to witness my kids being born. My wife had a miscarriage in January of 2021. It would have been a blessing to have a third child and my uncle witnessing it. We lost two lives this year sadly. So on this day of April 6 of 2021, my uncle went to heaven to Meet Virginia, his sister...again for eternity. RIP Mom and Uncle Joe. Life just got harder without you both. To you reading this, I Love You.

Interesting how you really don't notice how good a song is till years later in your life. Emotions are stronger than anything.

This is one of Train's best, and underrated songs, truly excellent!

Songs are just like bookmarks in life ✌️🌎❤

June 2020. This is playing at the airport now. Thank you for the smile on my face. This song is timeless...

A brilliant song! 1999 was a great year for music. Thanks Train!

The music that came out between the 90s-00s is arguably the absolute best era for music. So many one hit wonders that are timeless. You got bands like this, the grunge era which produced some of the best singers and front men of any era. I'm not sure you can touch this era of music and nostalgia. Please just take me back to that time.

Had to come and hear that guitar/bass intro again- was hooked as a kid the first time I heard it and it’s what made me want to learn bass. Rest easy, Charlie Colin!

I can relate to this song. There are many Virginia's ( that aren't named Virginia ) out there. The girl that isn't sure what she wants in life, has gone through a lot and learned to lie and steal to get by, acts strange from the rest, and is not happy with the direction their life is going. Despite all of that, she is loving and nurturing. Finally, their intuition is magic. I consider them to be roses that bloomed through concrete.

Peter: Brian I love Train. Brian: I F***ing love train!!!

We had the best era growing up with songs like this ❤️

I was at Wal-Mart this morning and this song was playing. I nearly fell into tears as this song brought me back when I was in high school when this song came out. I'm almost 45 years old now. Reading the lyrics to this song made my day. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it is skin deep.💋

"her confidence is tragic, her intuition is magic" just hits me Everytime.. even in 2020

This group! This song! I really miss my childhood in the 90s. Think about it often. Times were much more simple and happiness wasn’t an everyday chore.

She’s a free spirit that’s awesome ! Lots of Virginia s out there. Hugs to them all 💜

Today; a member of Train passed away ! 😔 Your band is still awesome 🙏 rest in peace

I’m 34 and this song takes me alllll the way back to middle school when me and my cousin shared a bedroom and we would listen to good ole fm radio all night and this was a jam back then which is very nostalgic to me. 80s Baby growing up in the 90s boy what I’d give for the world to be like it was then because people are going absolutely nuts in today’s time!!!!

This song is truly a masterpiece, it’s beautiful

Just seen these guys for the fifth time on July 15th in NY. They are still amazing. I have been listening to their music since the 70s. Keep pushing on guys, your awesome!!!

I don't know why, have always loved this song and known the lyrics since way back when I first heard it at 17. I'm 40 now!

Fantastic song musically too! Drummer is packing a good groove like he means it, bass is fantastic with such tasty fills and choice of notes, and the guitar lead with that kick at the end is fabulous! They were all in sync when they recorded this one.

This song always reminds me of my baby sister - 1967 - 1991 may she rest in peace, her biggest fear was that she would be forgotten, If you have a Virginia in your life you will never forget them!! This song always reminds me of the hole in my heart and makes me cry.

After high school I worked in a sporting good store in NYC called “City Sports” in 2000. I sold shoes, and pretty much worked retail. This song was on loop because it was a corporate approved playlist. It was in those months that I was working there that I decided to join the Marine Corps, while this song was playing in the background. Little did I know what I was getting into, this song comforted me and made me feel like everything would be ok. And it did turn out ok.

I’m 34 and was a child when this song was on the radio and it resonates so much with me now it’s insane. I don’t want really want to be a queen!!!

Classic.. Pops in my head out of no where.. Piece of the past for sure!! 💯

20 years later and still a fave!

I saw them again last night in concert..AMAZING live, and hearing this song never bores me! If you have never seen them, do it!!

Rest in peace Charlie 🙏🏻

the 90's a great era of music

This song is a national treasure

She never compromises loves babies and surprises- her confidence is tragic her intuition magic

We Need more train songs like this. This is my type of music on any given day.

This song always takes me back in time. I can remember this being on the radio all the time in the early 2000s. Simpler times back then.

Love this band .... This song plus a few others from train just put me in a good mood

I have had this song dedicated to me so many times in my life (my name is Virginia Kristine). The older I get the more it makes sense. I've grown to really love this song!

I'm a musician and love lots of different types of music. But there was always something about this song that always got me. Have to say one of my favorites. Everytime it comes on, i just think, turn it all the way up and sing along.

There is a reason Silent and Listen are spelled with the same letters. If only we could be silent and listen, ooh the many Stories Untold, we would have heard. Meet Virginia! To all the Virginia's out there, Keep On Keeping On. Soon, and Very soon, All Will Be Well and Not In Vain. Your Day Cometh Steadfastly.

I saw you open for Collective Soul at Waterloo village in NJ June 26 1999. First concert ever. Blew me away.

Being named Virginia it's always fun when i hear a song with my name in it... Up until this came out I only had Billy Joel. Then later on, a few years after this song, Angie Aparo came out with a song called Swell, which also mentions the name Virginia. "Happily and horribly well. Girl with her soul on a shelf" sorta fits with "her confidence is tragic. but her intuition is magic"...

The music from the 90s and 2000s has a nice beat of that time era. The groups and bands have a different beat of singin. During the time with the vocalizing style and instruments were great variety.

Love This Song .. Along with drops of Jupiter and calling all Angels . Meet Gloria--Bus

This song played in the hardest times of my life, and the best times. I will always have a deep love for this song 💕

Only 3mils??! such a great song... car rides with my mom singing like maniacs to this😫😂😘😘 cheers to bonding times🌸💟💞🌟

Reminds me of my mother she died when I was a teen. One my favorite songs.

This is so wild that this song has so few views compared to Drops of Jupiter (13 million at the time of writing). I remember this song being pretty popular in 1999. And it was a hit for them. Obviously Drops of Jupiter was a bigger hit for them, but this song came first. Meet Virginia walked so Drops could run!

When it comes to this hopeful energy of Meet Virginia by Train I admit that I am probably going to more likely connect this song to positive connotations from first hearing the song at a time in my life where I literally felt like the sky is the limit (late 90s as an idealistic 19 years old).

RIP Arlene, a true "Virginia" if there ever was....I miss my baby sister 1966-1991 gone way too soon!

February 2022 and putting this on as a get ready for work breaking down crying. This song truly is sometimes the only thing that gets the through the days. Thank you for such a beautiful song.

Love this song...it never gets old...miss hearing Train on the radio...taught my kids all their songs...one of the best times in my life!

Recently rediscovered this song and 1. Totally forgot that Rebecca Gayheart was in the video (and how iconic 90s she was) 2. Hear me out as my critique is for the music only (could care less about the lyrics) the only thing stopping this from being one of the best songs of the 90s is the chorus. Man, it’s whiny and depressing. You can disagree. If it rocks your boat, live it up. 3. The verses absolutely make this song. That tasty AF lean bass and guitar picking texture and simple harmony underneath that great off the beat baritone melody. 4. The GEM though is at 2:35 when the air clears after the bridge! The fun little lead guitar riffs, the arrhythmia, and that great 90s device where the melody jumps up to the next note in the given chord. Great song. Good for them.

I saw them play this live in Philly when I was junior in college. They were playing a free acoustic set on the first floor of HMV on Walnut Street. It was awesome. 2 years later, I got a job at Tower records. That experience was too cool.

This is wholeheartedly my favourite song. It’s been forever and no song has ever lived up to it*

I will never not love this song. Came out when I was in school and I vaguely remember hearing it. First fell in love with it on a 90's cd in middle school. Still love it.

This song’s lyrics are sad, but I love hearing it. It brings back a lot of good memories and makes me happy every time I hear it.

Love ALL these songs but I love all kinds of music. MUSIC IN MY LIFE BRINGS ME PEACE OF MIND YOU KNOW IT HELPS ALOT MUSIC MATTERS! 🎲💯💯💯

Best song ever and I wish to God the new aged songs would run of this inspiration ! Because this was when life actually really mattered and wasn't by technology by our finger tips on our phones !

One of my favourite songs that I wanna play when I reflect on my 90s childhood

This song keeps calling me back here. I love it.

Loved this song!! So sorry for the loss of this band member. This was soul!

He said "she thinks I'm Beautiful" 🙋🏾‍♀️Most definitely 😋 Train y'all God Bless them and their Families ❤️

Makes me cry for simpler days.....

Love This Song .. Along with drops of Jupiter and calling all Angels .

Back when Train was cool. On another note, it's weird how this song goes from light and fun to serious and dark in the chorus and then back to light.

I'm from Birmingham , England. I just can't understand why Train are not the biggest band on the planet. Saw them here last year. Amazing.

I love this song! It is exactly like my daughter. I always enjoy hearing it. It's my favorite song. My daughter is 24 and she is a Virginia all the way

This is one of my favs since i was like hell ten years old i swear

This song gives me a feeling that I can’t explain ❤️

Brian I love train I fucking love train

All the songs I've heard from train have been exceptionally written

This song was special to me for a long time because I was working at a horse farm and one of the horses was named Virginia because it was born when this song was playing on the radio in the barn. Kind of a sweet memory of good times when I was young.

One of the greatest songs ever written.

That drum fill at 3:14 is genius.

Rest in peace Charlie Colin!

Fabulous song. Brings me back to my childhood days back in Canada. Sending good vibes from Berlin.

They have always had the heart and soul best songs 💖🤗💜

Still their best song. Saw them with Hootie and the Black Crows in 2000. Incredible

That harmony at the end at about the 3:50 mark is beautiful. This song speaks volumes! 💚

I love this song wasn’t even aware about it until years after it came out I love the energy amazing! Hope my homeless friend made it to his destination this song reminds of so much thank you it brings harmony too!

Listening to this song right now with my Mommy who is 55 & is now at home w hospice tho I'm the only person who is with her 24/7 until she eventually passes.. She has stage 4 terminal cancer and it has began to shut her organs down! She LOVES THIS SONG!! PLZ PRAY FOR HER COMFORT AND MY SANITY!! IM HER ONLY CHILD AND WHEN SHE IS GONE I HAVE NOONE ELSE..that's a scary feeling.

Started dating the woman of my dreams months back, named Virginia, this is our (my ) anthem. I can’t help belting it every time I think of her or introduce her to anyone .

Meet Virginia by Train is an incredible song with very creative metaphors to describe a charismatic type of prototype.

Totally my late auntie. Love you Aunt Virginia.

My favorite song by them. Not all trains songs have to be happy.

All time favorite song. I'm 36 it never gets old for me.

F'in banger of a tune

This song is heavenly.

This song is so amazing and inspirational

I knew a couple of women like this as waitress when i worked for a large chain in the late sixties. I married one of them and tomorrow we celebrate fifty two years together.

Its July 2021... my Day Off, Saturday, listening to this .

March 2022. Reminds of CT in the 90’s🥰 I Miss that good feeling music like this✨

Never have been one to care what was "cool". I like what I like, and don't care who likes it, and I like Train!

I just learned there was a video for this song today. Such a great song

I always replace "Meet Virginia" with Meet Miesha. I always as a teenager related to this song. Still do. Great music. 💜

I spent so long not liking this song because the lyrics alone don't paint the greatest picture but after seeing the music video, I get it. I was born in '99 and my parents named me after this song... I'm glad I've learned to like it.

I had a Grandmother, I never met, named Virginia. Now my Mother has gone to meet her. Love you MOM. Life can be so bitter sweet.
