Summer of 1997, 18 years old, thought I could take on the world and win. Much simpler times, much easier times. Music is an incredible time machine.

I don't care what anyone says. Sugar Ray was one of those dopest 90's bands. This song is how the 90's felt everyday.

I miss the late 90s and early 2000s so much. 😢 Where can i go where people still carry that energy of joy and excitement?? My loved ones from those times have passed and i miss that energy so much.

im 66 years young,still rockin sugar ray, fantastic music

You know your old or getting old when you scroll down and read people being sent here due to internet videos rather than watching when the music video was shown on tv.

Man, I really miss the 90's...

when I was in labor with my daughter for 38 hours my husband put his arms around me and sang this song for hours.. kept me trying and now our beautiful daughter is 26 years old. :)

The line "My mother G-d rest her soul" brings a tear to my eyes! I miss you... Mom! Love you! ❤❤❤

I remember recording this on a cassette with my cousin in 5th grade. She’s no longer here, but I like to think she’s listening. Love you Whitney

90's kid here born in 1990 still rockin sugar ray, i remember jammin to this watchin MTV back in the day and now 2024 🤘🏽

33 years old here … I remember when my mom would take us on road trips to Tahoe and this song was on the radio all the time - core memory

I lived on a small little farm just outside fort worth back then. I remember singing this song to all the animals back in I want to say in 97. Their next album I saved up and bought, that thing never left my side for a whole school year.

This music takes me back to when life was much nicer, media didn’t rule the internet (because it was new and cool), and it was just laid back and awesome. God I miss the 90’s!

I met my wife dancing to this song. I had terrible dance moves. So did she. Through thick and thin over the years...Sugar Ray always brings us back to those wonderful memories of the 90s.

Gen X’ers, just want to say thank you for all this amazing music and making my childhood epic musically. Sincerely, All Millenials

Like this if you are here in 2024

Part of me is stuck in the 90s and I'm not ever coming back

I feel like summers were brighter in the 90s...

This song always makes me feel like a kid again. 28 now. 1995

‘’Lord Mercy” is my favorite part of the song REST PEACEFULLY SUGA RAY PRAISE GOD

If only 32 year old me could tell 12 year old me to.. NEVER GROW UP BRO! RUN!

“25 years old, my mother God rest her soul” When I first heard this song and fell in love with it 13 years ago, I never imagined that those words would become true until they did. I love you and miss you every day mom.

This song was way before its time! It incorporates some hip hop, rock, ska, punk, pop, the adlibs are making the song, the Caribbean patois...looking now in 2023...WOW! One song incorporated almost every genre of music. Genius 🙌🏿

Although well never get these times back thank god we have youtube to remind us how good we had it

This song holds a special memory in my heart. Riding back into town bumpin this after tripping shrooms all day in the woods and my friend Scotty was in another car playing the same song on the radio. We both got to the parking lot blaring the same song and turned it all the way up and started singing "ALL AROUND THE WORLD, STATUES CRUMBLE FOR ME" etc. perfect summer day and memory. RIP to Scotty you will be missed forever.

Man, it's crazy how fast time goes by. This song sounds just as good today as it did in 1997.

I was 25, 25 years ago when this song came out and I'm still jammin to it. "I JUST WANT TO FLY!!!"

This song brings me back to going on a field trip to knotts berry farm when I was 10

I wish I knew those were the good old days before they left.

God bless you Sir. I lost my mom. She was 39. That was 1994. Same year my son was born . I’ll always Love this song. Peace to you and your loved ones

I just came back to this after raising my son. He's late 20's and I've introduced him and his friends and they love this. It's great to have a beer and dance with the young ins to great music!

Music is like a Time Machine,always takes you back to where you were when you first heard it. 🖤🎵

Born in 93, when I listen to masterpieces like this, I’m instantly transported back to the 90’s and flooded with empathy and memories of my childhood, and of all the people who are no longer here with me at this time. What a rush

Summer of 97'. Boy o boy does this song bring me back there.

My mom dedicated this song and said it reminded her of me and our relationship and how much a mother and sons bond is and how much im stuck in the 80s and 90s music area. Can't be replaced or duplicated no mater how hard anyone tries i love you mom!

Saw them a couple years ago. These guys can still perform this so amazingly well even 30 years later. He still looks great too.

i wasnt born in the 90s but my mom listen to these songs all the time, i really wish i was born then bc the vibe im getting from these songs, now those mustve been some good times

My cousin has Retts Syndrome and is nonverbal. She's 18. Every time someone sings this song she cracks up and smiles. I sang this to her and it made her so happy she was laughing and tearing up. Music is amazing. ❤️

This is still 🔥 all these years later. What a banger the 90s had some great music

This 90'a era of mixing pop and hip hop was great and Sugar Ray was one of the greatest to ever do it.

Damn Arby's commercial got me here lmfao Nostalgia 90s

I can’t believe 2000 was 20 years ago! Damn.

The older I get I interpret this song and “someday” as spiritual. I don’t know how to explain it but it is so soothing and healing for the soul ❤. God bless Sugar Ray

I literally was 25 yrs old when this came out,now I'm 52 yrs old damn how time flies! ❤ 😂

I haven’t heard this song in so long... the Arby’s commercial with Ving Rhames singing it brought me back 😂😂

This was such a feel good jam when I was a teen, & it still jammin 24 years later. The 90s truly was an amazing decade of music.

Summer of 97. I'm a 22 yr old Marine stationed in beautiful MCAS Miramar just north of San Diego without a care in the world!

Idk what it is with Sugar Ray. I started listening to them recently, and every time I do, it’s like their soul is ACTUALLY in the music. Like some friends who knew what you were going through and decided to make a song about it while also trying to cheer you up. They’ve actually made me feel the happiest in my saddest of moments. Thank you, Sugar Ray. Thank you so much.

Definitely feeling nostalgic today! Class of 99 represent! We need some more good tunes like this in 2021.

This song is timeless, gives you good vibes!

This song was one of those that played on the radio when it came out, every 5 minutes, and I loved it. Miss those days!! Goodness how fast time passes away.

Miss the 90s a lot! I was in my second year of High School when this came out, 13 years old 😎🤙🏽

I remember listening to these songs in the morning getting ready for school. Either on VH1 or MTV.

hes on fire... always... I remember this when i first got married in the 90's i use to sing this to my exwife. She would crack up. All their songs are great. Songs about love, relationships, pain, living. Go Mark! Go Sugar Ray and company! Thanx for the joy.

EU ME LEMBRO BEM DESSA MUSICA E TOCAVA MUITO AQUI NO BRASIL...ISSO NO ANO DE 1997...FOI UMA EPOCA BOA COM MÚSICAS BOAS...É UMA PENA QUE ESSE TEMPO NÃO VOLTA MAIS..O QUE É BOM ACABA CEDO...INFELIZMENTE!!!

Still bangin this in quarantine in 2020.

I feel so old every time he says "25 years old"... I turn 26 this October.. I remember being 20 listening to this. How time flies.

Bring back this era of music. So happy and chill. Such a mood

i miss the 90’s mtv so much man .. we are getting old my dear 90’s kids lol much love from 🇬🇪 Tbilisi

Yoo Arby's used this song in a commercial, im glad this song is still getting recognition after 24 years

I fell in love with this song when i was little and heard it at a Kmart in Florida, just captivated me, then i found out my dad was a huge fan.

I was in 6th grade when this came out. They used to play this at all the school dances and the skatepark. God I miss that time! Makes me so happy!

Timeless, amazing, pure music. Yes!! Bring it back🤙🏼

I used to listen to this so much when I was younger. I had never seen the music video until today. Nice to see happy people.

Lyrics All around the world statues crumble for me Who knows how long I've loved you Everywhere I go people stop and they see Twenty-five years old my mother God rest her soul I just wanna fly Put your arms around me, baby Put your arms around me, baby I just wanna fly Put your arms around me, baby Put your arms around me, baby Dance a little stranger, show me where you've been Love can make you hostage wanna do it again There's no time to think about the starting or the end We'll find out I'm told, my mother she told me so I just wanna fly Put your arms around me, baby Put your arms around me, baby I just wanna fly Put your arms around me, baby Put your arms around me, baby I just want to fly I just want to fly All around the world, statues crumble for me Who knows how long I've loved you Everyone I know has been so good to me Twenty-five years old, my mother God rest her soul I just wanna fly Put your arms around me, baby Put your arms around me, baby I just wanna fly Put your arms around me, baby Put your arms around me, baby I just want to fly I just want to fly I just want to fly I just want to fly I just want to fly

Can’t believe it’s been 27 years since this song came out damn time freaking flies literally ❤

I. CANT. BELIEVE. This song came out in 1997. Listening to it just gave me a whole butterfly nostalgic feeling in my stomach. Like when my mom would tell us kids that we were going to Six Flags. First time that's ever happened, and I'm 40. Only this time there is nothing to look forward to because its already happened and you can't go back in time. Still, good times.

Damn the 90's was such a great era for music. wish I could just fly back to those great times and leave this mess behind for good.

I'm 23 and I vividly remember being in the back of my parents car listening to this song. Still love it now.

Rip to my cool ass parents rest their souls . I have fund memories of the beach trips in the early 2000s they played this song a lot on our way the myrtle beach . I cherish all our times good and the bad . I think the good Lord for the time that I did have with you , that I will never get to see you ever again . I'm sorry if I've ever let you down or hurt you in anyway, I only love you so deeply and scared loose you, I had a strong feeling for along time the need and urge to have my mama in my life , I felt unloved and like we was loosing our bond. It hurt bad ,. But now seeing the light in it , that you stayed away because you love me and it hurt you probably worst to do , now I see you was getting me use to living without you. Or didn't want me to end up like you, you always preached how bad drugs destroys self and family's , you was a real one mama my best friend , you are with me still always have been. I feel you and noticed the little signs. I love you so much dear Lord forgive my mama for her sins dear Lord you know her story ❤ Amen . My parents are soul mates even after the divorce regretted it bad and both abused pain pills (dad morphine od. 4-11-12 mom (had different addictions steady twenty years of my life. I'm thirty now , and recently lost mama ) 6-24-24 she was 51 when I look back on her / our life the past twenty years it is so extremely sad , it's hard to breathe . Sherry Faye Jones , Sims, Coble, Crisp, Finchumn 💜♾️💜 Mama ,

Came here to download this mad piece of music after hearing a bit of it on tv tonight. Hearing it brought me back to the 90s. God how could I have forgotten all abt this awesome band!!!

ALL AROUND THE WORLD, STATUES CRUMBLE FOR ME!

Everybody has that ONE song that puts them in a GREAT mood every time you hear it. This is mine!! I was 7 in 1997, not a care in the world and LOVED the music scene then. I get so many 90's flashbacks hearing this song. Only late 1980's and early 1990's kids can probably relate with me. Still a banger today for upbeat music!

THESE ARE FROM MY J.R. HIGH SCHOOL YEARS SHOOT I COULD BE OLD ALONE IN A SENIOR CENTER AND I'D STILL BE LISTENING TO THESE MEMORIES LIKE THEY ARE BEING PLAYED ON THE RADIO AND LISTENING TO THEM FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME THESE SONG WILL NEVER GET OLD OR BORING TO ME 🎶💚🎶 PLUS SUGAR RAY IS FROM MY HOMETOWN " COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA WEST ORANGE COUNTY " EVEN THOUGHT THEY CLAIM NEWPORT BEACH I SAW THEM 1 YEAR BEFORE THEY GOT BIG AND HIT THE RADIO I GOT THEIR CD DEMO THEY SELL AT SHOWS THE ORIGINAL RAW SOUND OF SUGAR RAY

I’m 25 and I remember listening to sugar ray since I was a kid brings back simpler times and memories. But aye I just wanna fly!

I remember playing on the N64 with my friends while they had this playing on their IMac. Man, such a carefree time.

the 90s was the last decade the inherent joy of life was openly revealed. it is still here, but you have to cultivate it for yourself. To attain it you have to detach to a large degree from the world because it is so much darker now than it was then.

Im 60 and this song kicks ass too me on so many levels!

Is it just me or is this one of the finest guys ever!

I'm listening to a bunch of old music playlist, so many memories.

I really miss this kind of music. wasn't a bunch of sell-outs back then, just people writing music for PEOPLE, not money.

this song always makes me happy every single time I went clever reminiscing came out hey ask for the sign at least 3 to 5 times a night I got to the point that the DJ actually bought me the CD and said here taking a man this is what as much as you want a love the song I still love this song hi just think its so easy going so free flowing its definitely not can music is its own music in its own rights and it just rocks I have listened to a lot of music is 60 years and let me tell ya there's probably only about 50 songs that aren't can music that are genuine either Rock and roll South rock alternative reggae or country and the rest is this yak and this is one of the good ones I love to sign it is just you can't help would be happy when you play in it makes everybody giggle everybody that in the dance floor having a good time is just a really good song so I'm glad that you guys road it and played it and we all love it with love from m a i n e

Still gets me through some rough times, good ol ray

The man, the myth, the legend, Mark McGrath.

WTF? I just blinked! Where is my youth?

Born in the 60's. Enjoying this on my way through.

"All around the world statues crumble for me who knows how long I've loved you everywhere I go people stop and they see twenty-five years old my mother God rest her soul I just wanna fly put your arms around me, baby"

Let's give props for Super Cat and his contribution to this song's fame. I remember hearing Fly for the first time and thinking, "How in the hell did the reggae artist who sang Don Dada get on this track? But it works!"

I haven't heard this song since it played on the radio when radio was still the primary avenue to music.

17 years since I saw this live and still it ranks in my top 5 concerts of all time.

This song... Totally reminded me of My Youth.. Thanks for sharing 🤙🤘✌👍👍👍👍👍👍

anyone else remember when Sugar Ray was on Scooby Doo?

The way he looks up as he sings in the beginning adds so much. Bring back GOOD music!

I miss the 90's man. ❤❤

high school days. such good memories. music was better then.

I miss the 90s so much. People were more genuine and life was simpler. The internet changed people.

Grew up in the 2000’s inheriting the CDs of my brothers and sisters. Glad I got to experience this on its original format. I use to rush home from school to blast the stereo before the parents got home.

Woww so glad i'm a 90's kid i don't care that i'm getting old just experienced a good vibe music and i'm fine ❤

I graduated in 97. The 90s were the best!!

Floored! 1997. Right band at the right time with the right sound!!!
