The best pain in the world is NOSTALGIA!

"Isn't it funny that day by day nothing changes, but when you look back everything is different." - C.S. Lewis

After 30 years, Doug Rob still has the same outstanding, clear, and powerful voice. Impressive.

The music of the 90's and early 2000's are just phenomenal!

He still got his voice

The sad thing is that I just realize that we’re getting old together with our idols. Thanks for making our childhoods complete with your songs.

I love that they kept this in the right key. Lots of artists are afraid to do that.

The words hit harder when you've lived life, and it all hits home.

“And when the world needed them most, they returned”

His voice aged like fine wine, holy crap.

[Verse 1] I'm not a perfect person There's many things I wish I didn't do But I continue learning [Pre-Chorus] I never meant to do those things to you And so I have to say before I go That I just want you to know [Chorus] I've found a reason for me To change who I used to be A reason to start over new And the reason is you [Verse 2] I'm sorry that I hurt you It's something I must live with every day And all the pain I put you through [Pre-Chorus] I wish that I could take it all away And be the one who catches all your tears That's why I need you to hear [Chorus] I've found a reason for me To change who I used to be A reason to start over new And the reason is you [Post-Chorus] And the reason is you And the reason is you And the reason is you [Break] I'm not a perfect person [Pre-Chorus] I never meant to do those things to you And so I have to say before I go That I just want you to know [Chorus] I've found a reason for me To change who I used to be A reason to start over new And the reason is you I've found a reason to show A side of me you didn't know A reason for all that I do And the reason is you

Tears in my eyes, the most beautiful song ever.

His voice suprisely sounds just as fresh as back when they released this song.

This made me profoundly sad. The smiles on their faces, and the wonderfully edited video that swings back and forth. 15 years. They have changed. We have changed. And everything and everybody around us are changing every second. Before we know it, our journeys will all be over. Till then, we will have to go on finding reasons that will make our journeys worthwhile.

I'm ashamed to say that I recently came across this song and I've been listening to it every day for the last couple of weeks. It just reminds me of being young around the turn of the millennium, feeling immortal, hanging out with friends and never thinking about growing old.

Still fire! 31 year old living in 2024 knowing the 90s had the best music/artist. Hoobastank should release a new album

I'm not a perfect person, but that song is the perfect nostalgia.

When you realized you getting old but the singer's voice remained young 🙂

17 years ago we played this song as a young eager band. The lead singer was Wesley. He enjoyed life so much. One afternoon I got a call to tell me Wesley had died on a construction site. This song will always be his and remind me of his smile.

2000’s have this weird feel I can’t explain, being a kid during it was magical and I’m thankful for the artists like these guys who kept it with songs like these, it’s a nostalgia I cannot begin to compare.

Listened this song while high school. now I am a father.

It pains to see you old. And to realise I am too. And that my childhood and all the good things are nothing but memories anymore.

we didn´t know we needed a acosutic version until now. It sounds so smooth and relaxing

Dude i cried when i saw the before and after. I lost my best friend in life and it changed me completely. I just been more wise, humble and respectful. This song isnt just a song for me. Its like an viking being accepted to Valhalla. Thank you Hoobastank.

Anyone else wish they could go back to the 2000's? The music, games, shows, and movies.

still killing it

Time flies man but this song is a banger for life.

The fact that he's still got his voice is one thing, but them putting footage of the original MV and behind the scenes got me a bit choked up, ngl. We're old now, I hope everyone here is doing good in life

"We all have our time machines, don't we. Those that take us back are memories...And those that carry us forward, are dreams.” - H.G. Wells

15 years with this song in my playlist, time flies.

Along with the well written melody, the bass player's high harmonies really make the chorus.

My favorite song ever!!! Love this version. Gives me chills!

Oh God, the quality of his voice...😭😭😭

That voice didn't change in 18 years. It's still beautiful.

Recently discovered this song and I cannot stop playing it. Became my new favourite song

I leave my comment here so that when someone decides to leave a "like", I get a notification and reminds me that I have to listen to this work of art.

Wow, 15 years have passed huh? There's a lot difference then and now. People have their own reasons for leaving, changing, and moving on. God bless us.

How come no one has made a Nostalgia Fest -Green Day -Hoobastank -Blink 182 -RHCP -Radiohead -Incubus -Guns n' Roses -Foo Fighters -The Killers -Linkin Park -Bon Jovi -Creed Coming at the top of my head. Nostalgia is an extremely lucrative business.

Que nostalgia 😢 que música! Que voz linda ❤

I can't believe I am back here again. Last time I rediscovered it here 3 years ago. I was 36 then and now I am about to turn 40yrs old in next 3months...... There's magic in this song. The tune, the notes, the singing, the lyrics, even the visuals (original TV version's video)... can't forget the first time when I saw it's video on MTV. while listening to my childhood and teenage playlist, I get so nostalgic and emotional that it scares me so I just stop playing it and divert myself in another activity or thoughts. It scares me because I feel that I will cry so intensely that I will drown and die in my own tears. The grief is about not able to turn back time and live those days again. It's also about how I can't explain in words to the current generation what it was like back in those days.

I have a 15 years of relationship with this song.

Whoever listening to this legendary song 🔥in 2020 or after... is a legend in himself.

Amazing harmonising 🩶

It is so incredible to see the talent of your band. Playing actual instruments and I have always loved how clear and strong your voice is!

His voice is still powerful after all these years.

When your dad keeps saying that he was a member of a rock band, but you still don't believe him, so he calls his buddies to play along.

Je peux écouter ce live en boucle sans jamais m'en lasser

Goosebumps those were my childhood memories thank you hoobastank for making my childhood beautiful✨😍❤

God he aged so well. Can't believe my eyes. This is nostalgia.

Man the early 2000s were such a great time. You could feel the world changing with the internet, but social media hadn't yet taken over. Music that requires actual talent was still prevalent on the radio and on everyone's home made CD mixes. Movies and games were breaking so many boundaries and were still original, opening up so many people's eyes and minds to the possibilities ahead. The future didn't seem so daunting as it does now. Maybe it is the ignorance of my youth in my high school days, but those were the times I miss the most.

Those cross backs to when they were younger = magical ❤

Insane voice and band 🔥

The pianist ring was the gem that they stole in the music video.

Another song to remind us how old we've really become.

Always giving me "The Reason" to listen to this very amazing song! bringing back the memories.

이노래를 저는 왜 이제야 알았을까요.. 지금 이밤..힘든 하루의끝..아이를 재워두고 다시 헤드폰을 끼고 무한 반복으로 듣고있답니다. 행복합니다. 내일도 일어나서 나의 시작을 이노래로 함께할수있다는 생각에 설레이고 또 설레입니다. 비록 전 육아를 병행하며 힘들게 일하고 있지만 이노래만큼은 저를 지친 하루의 시작과 끝을 행복으로 만들어주는듯 합니다. 감사합니다. 또 감사합니다. 사랑합니다.😊

Nostalgic.....as fuck!!!! bringing back all the times and memories.....

I can't believe after all these years Doug could still hit that Vocal Pitch!!!!

My all time Karaoke song! There is The question of the reason for everything is a deeply philosophical and existential inquiry. It touches upon fundamental questions about the nature of existence, purpose, and the universe. Philosophers have explored the question of the reason for everything throughout history. Some argue that life and meaning are constructed through individual experiences and relationships, while others seek broader metaphysical explanations. In many religious traditions, the reason for everything is often tied to the existence of a divine creator or a higher power. The purpose of life and the universe is considered to be part of a divine plan. This song makes me cry all the time.

This is the dad version of the original song. Such a refined, well-aged, masterpiece.

Can't believe we all hit our 30s, man this hit right home.

Because of this song, I have won the heart of a girl who has now become a mother to my four children. thx guys T_T

Nunca pasa de moda este temon

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever made. So simple, yet so underrated

This is a guy who actually sounds like he took care of his voice through the years. He doesn’t sound like he does drugs, smokes, or always drinks before a performance. Very refreshing; he’s slaying, still.

I grew up with this song. I was 16 years old when I heard it for the first time. It’s such a bittersweet feeling to hear it after so many years ✨

Hats off for the backing vocal! Damn ❤

I love this video! And the flashbacks. Coming back here at 33 myself makes me cry every time I hear it. When I was a kid this song was CONSTANTLY on every radio station. And i loved it then but thinking about having my kids and what I put them through going through ny addiction and growing up getting sober and learning how to be a mother, now it's got a whole new life in my mind.

This song takes me back to high school, I wish I could go back in time.

After almost 19 years still gives me goose bumps, never gets old.

Bang and I'm right back to my teenage years. Life has faded like the sands of time. Now it's my kids hearing the songs I grew up listening to. 19 years on and have the ability of hindsight, the words sit differently now.

This song is so special to me. So many memories... What a journey!!

I hate being older, this song takes me back to high school days, miss this band and song

Can we just talk about how fucking clean these harmonies are? Not a single outbreak or flutter, just two voices perfectly in pitch with each other :o

Obra de arte!

It sounds so good live i prefer this and i feel a lightness. Thank you god for bringing these guys into the world what a blessing they are

My mom passed away today. This was always one of her favorite songs. You're making me cry hoobastank. The reason is you.... Thank you for bringing me back to happy memories. RIP Sandra. ❤️❤️

I'm so impressed with his vocals they haven't changed even a little 😍😂

名曲は古くなることも色褪せることもない。楽曲の良さ、歌詞や歌声の深みが更に増して、10代の頃の感動を昨日のことのように思い出せる。

Very few bands sound good this many years later. Props guys, you still got it.

Not sure what's more painful to realize: the fact that I wanna go back to the 2000s or that I am getting old.

His voice didn’t even age a day...

This song brings back memories of my adolescence! It's amazing that his voice is still the same. This chills to the soul!

Best version❤❤❤ Love that they are still together.

It's so emotional when the young of them is showed... Just realized how old they are😭

This hoobastank is a dad’s version of 10 years ago hoobastank.

The honesty and the humility of the lyrics is an understatement. This songs connects very well to those who are living in their true self. As human is vulnerable to worlds elements. The Reason of all the things we exists is the one who we truly love. ❤

sounds incredible.. im in awe. love all of these older bands with still just as much talent!

Let's not overlook the backup vocals. Jesse compliments Doug very well in this version. Well done.

I just cried watching this, missing my teenage years and how quickly time flys by

This song is perfect and will never get old ❤

Mi canción favorita, siempre las emisoras de radio la ponen un clásico que llega al corazón ❤❤❤❤ The reanson ❤❤❤

This singer looks weird being a little older. I've literally only ever seen him in the official music video for this song and for some reason I expected him to always stay young.

This legit made me tear up…I really would give anything to experience this period of time again. As a teenager, I didn’t appreciate it the way I would as an adult now.

Freaking harmony is the icing on the cake! Love this!

This rendition sent chills down my spine.

The lyrics hit harder now as an adult vs when I heard this back in high school. Especially after having your heart broken.. 💔

Am i the only one who feels like crying??? Because they are aging or because you miss your younger days or because you miss the old you or the vibe comes back

Love to listen to that again - it's almost like 20 years passing by. Nostalgic !

This feels like an omage to the 90's. This is perfect.
