This song has lived rent free in my head for 26 years

This song strikes a huge chord with me. Been on a huge Fastball binge lately.

How does this only have 82K views? These guys were huge for that year.

I heard this song playing in the grocery store today and came home and immediately looked it up. I had totally forgotten this was a Fastball song! What a great 90's band!

This band always should've been bigger and for longer. So much pop music from the 90s is relatively disposable now but their stuff still holds up. Cross between rock, country, roots, latin, just a great sample of the Austin music scene. Simply good music.

Underrated band, underrated song, underrated video. #underrated

I can listen to this entire album start to finish. No idea why it wasn't more popular. Gold start to finish

Awesome songs like this define the 90s perfectly The underrated songs and bands are usually the ones that are the best.

Miles nailed this one, best song they ever did.

The 90s was a great decade!

Was re watching Buffy and this popped up in Season 3....Brought back tons of memories

Man, 0:43 hit me hard with nostalgia. Old computer screen - old school online chatrooms. I was 15 when this video came out. I really miss those days :( I wanna go back. Even for a day.

🥳🥳🥳 Been looking for this jewel for years, didn't even remember the name, the band or the song itself, only remembered the part "I don't wanna be superman" and that I loved it.

Such a classic from the 90's

Great song and great band as well, fan of 90's music forever ❤️

Catchy as hell. This is my favorite fastball song but also like "Out Of My Head", "You're An Ocean" and "The Way."

I have such a deep love for these guys and their music.

My favorite Fastball song.

Just saw them last year and they are still amazing

I bought the DVD just for "The Way," but that opening guitar riff on "Fire Escape" just reached out and grabbed me! Love the song! And the video is typical of the very clever music videos that were being made once upon a bygone time!

I love that cut-out of the band. Old school.

I always loved this song.

I still remember being obsessed with the way and then hearing this for the first time and being so giddy. Loved the band and especially this album

Albums w great song after great song dont really come along that often but this was one of them. Saw them in St Louis and then the following night in Carbondale. Just a fantastic album and a great live band.

Wow, '98!!! 😥 I miss Fastball's music.

This is so 90s, I love it!

Caught them in 2024 still sound just as sharp as in 94!🤘 Jman

There’s a simultaneous optimism and sadness to this song that really hits me in the feels. I was a sophomore in high school when this song came out, and I had actually forgotten about this gem until I stumbled across a comment referencing it, and then the memories came flooding back. Funny how that works.

Saw these guys in Dodge City a few weeks ago. The still got it.

Awesome! I remember this song. I had no idea it was Fastball. To bad these guys didn't get more recognition

I was food shopping at Tops Friendly Markets today and they were playing this song on the speakers.

Every now and then you run into a metaphor that just takes your breath away. "The rain on your fire escape" is pure genius.

Literally only found out about this band because of some old Smallville videos where there was music with clips from the show. Great Band :,^D

Man I love 90's music videos, always tell the story to the song, and most people were fully clothed 👍

Just a perfectly crafted pop song. I love it.

Such a great tune!

This still holds up! They never got enough cred. Better than Soul Asylum, etc. Just as good as most 90s stuff

This is such an awesome song and video

Where was I when I first heard this song? Parked in front of the Continental Club over 20 years ago. I knew it was great as soon as I heard the first 3 notes.

3-man bands are pure rock and roll

Criminally underrated

This song more than any song and I know almost every song brings me back in time to a berry very colorful time in my life. It was that summer of 98 just graduated high school I still had that feeling of misbelief that my life had changed forever a mix of sadness that I’d never share the day with so many friends under one roof many whom I grew up with since the first day of kindergarten but yet with that feeling of freedom and excitement knowing the possibilities of my life were near infinite that feeling of being new yet a man who was on top of the world and could attempt to be whatever I wanted to be. A man who had an abundance of time at his disposal. This particular song playing over the Sears intercom everyday I went to work selling computers and cordless phones lol wearing my dress clothes and new ties omg I have to stop

The most underateted song on KZfaq today!if you agree 👍

Francis! I can't work like this! It was pretty great that they somehow backed the camera through door to the outside, right into a crane shot.

Two things.... 1. I've always loved this song. Of course it came out in 1998...that was a great year for music. 2. I only discovered today it's by Fastball. For *_years_* now, easily over a decade, I've always assumed it was a Foo Fighters song. It just has that....vibe. Especially on the line "How 'bout you?" That sounds like a pitch perfect snippet of a Foo Fighters song. Am I crazy or has anyone else made this mistake? Or if you haven't....can you hear what I'm saying?

Such a timeless and amazing song!

Saw these guys when they opened for Collective Soul in Boise. God both bands were a mind scramble in different ways. I would have to say fire escape was the best concept video in the 90's. Sadly under rated

Freaking 90’s man!!!!!!🤘🤘

I+ expected more from these guys; the Way was good, this song was outrageous reminds me of Ringo's It Don't Come and REM'S ,Me And Honey

Kinda forgot about this song from the late 90’s..I’ve always liked this band though but I just heard it on an episode of Buffy the vampire slayer…definitely triggered my memories of this song

Temazo! I liked it before and now. 👏🏻

2023 and still 🔥🔥🔥

This video...and many other aspects of knowledge of the time...really makes me wish I lived in Austin in the late 90s at a college or similar age

me encanta este tema ...😎

great video! Way ahead of its time!!

I'll be the rain falling on your fire escape

The album this is from is fucking awesome.

This song was played from the 1999 Disney Channel Original Movie, Johnny Tsunami.

um dos clipes favoritos em todos os tempos, muito bom que vocês estão no youtube. One of my favorites videos in all time, great you are finaly in youtube

Love the news flash "simeine should show them the way" is hilarious. Love the song, very carchy and timeless.

GREAT song and video! Reminds me of the Beatles "If I needed Someone".

💕 My fave! 🤘 🔥

Awsome group 😀

I always liked this and you’re an ocean better than the way and out of my head. So many from the 90s that were short term that had talent and so many from today who had longer careers that aren’t so good.

Very Beatley song (bridge from Eight Days A Week) but tougher harmonies.

Enormes Fastball

It reminds me a little bit of "Eigth Days a Week" of the Beatles.

This band is one of the best from the nineties!! Where is music today?

Grandi, ragazzi!!

I don't think I've ever wanted to be stalked to badly🤣

Clever video!!

Amo esta cancion

I first heard this on Buffy the Vampire Slayer back in the day 😊

Here from Buffy. Awesome track.

In my top 10 videos ever

My kids like this song, I'm going to call them fire escape goats.

I first heard on this on the Buffy The Vampire Slayer episode “Homecoming”

Heard this on 88.5 WXPN in Philadelphia

Love ❤️

Love this song but I just discovered that it shares the same chord progression as a Jefferson Starship song called Find Your Way Back. And Fastball has a song called the Way. Hmm

Gran canción

Bons tempos. Booons tempos...

FkN brilliant. Oh, I miss the 90s.

Ufff 🔥❤️

They're so good...

Does anyone know who that actress is?

2:58 Oh my good... They killed the Kenny! You bastards!

🌊👍

Does anyone else get the vibe this video is about an obsessed fan?

I believe this video is a single shot. However the inside camera is a handheld while the outside camera is on a crane. My guess is the handheld cameraman stepped onto the crane when the actress was trying to open the car door. Either that or it's 2 shots with the cut being where the camera pans back to the closing front door and briefly shows only a white stucco wall.

Holy shit, how dated is this video - a Saturn??? Love the song 😁

I still love them so much! I played the hell out of that album and now it’s a forever favorite. Even my sixth favorite song is so good, right? I was a bit excited to see that they’re on tour, but they’re appearing with 3 other bands that were slightly less appealing overall? I mean, I wouldn’t mind seeing any of those other artists supporting Fastball, but…🤔 Okay. It’s pretty cheap and local. A definite maybe. 🙏

Loved this song at the time, don't remember this video though! Dark! (in the good way 😉)

released like 5-6 years too early. So good in retrospect.

Remember me the years 98-99...whoaaao

Heeeey PONO!!

Seen this video countless times, but this is the first time I noticed all the chickens in her fridge--and a live chicken scurries out of her closet when she opens the closet door.....................implying that in addition to murdering Fastball, she's also a serial chicken killer!

Who is the actress in this video?

Superman and president.

This is for all the skies and urchins
