My co-worker Michaela is watching That 90's show at work right now and that song came on so I looked it up. It took me back to my teen years. 😃

Same 😂😂

i dont know who she is but an independent artist is impressive

Same

I genuinely couldn’t stop laughing seeing this

me 😂😂😂

Meeeeeee🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️

It just came on and I came here to see the original 😂

Hell yea lol

Meeeeee🙋🏻‍♀️

same that 90s show brough me back here this song is a classic

I fucking hate that 90 show. And the fact that it brought all of you cringe retards to this song.

I thought in the show Lisa loeb was that blond gf from the hangover . The one that cheated and was mean to ed helms character 😊

And we hate every one of you that are here because of that

Same lol. I was born in 1988 and I don't remember this song 😂🤭

@@marianaorbezo3045 i was born in 94 so i think i never even heard it before😅 but the scene was hilarious

@@marianaorbezo3045 I don't remember this song either but I love that scene.

Meh

What about Jewel who will save your soul or fiona apple criminal? All pretty 90s 🙂 all still awesome

They’re AS 90s, but not MORE

What about Nirvana and Smells Like Teen Spirit?

What a great story.

I only hear what I want to.

@@eldardrakeson I thought we were cool with guys crying now with this new spill u're guts, nothing left in the closet world!!!!!💯🇺🇸😷🙏

Life was better then

Was so great

I was 14 y/o ,and I couldn’t agree with you more! 👍🏼

No money too, that sucked.

5!

Totally!!!!

51 years old here in 2024. I was 21 when this instant timeless classic first hit the airwaves. I miss those days. Cherish your youth… because tomorrow comes fast.

50 yrs old here. Listened to it during a break up with my highschool Sweet heart. Got back together. Broke up again for good. Almost sent me on a downward spiral. This song tonight flooded me with all those feelings again. There's nothing that matches your first true love, nothing. Believe me cause I've tried it all.

54 here and this song makes me feel younger and happier ❤

41 yr old here & love this song but can't believe I was 11 when I heard this song but there u go,90s were the best for music,I love listening to the decade now more than ever

absolutely right..

Yes

90 and 80

YUP

Can't top it, wish I could be there again

Titanic, Batman Forever, Romeo + Juliet, and NO fakebook

I know. We had no idea how good we had it.

I don't miss dial up tho

Yeah 80s were good and the 90s ...I was kid n the 80s and a teen and young adult in the 90s such great music its all I listen to till this day n Im 45 lol

Right on, when it was the best time ever to live your life.

That is interesting it took until the 90s for that to happen

Plus Dave Matthews was selling out stadiums without mainstream radio. The '90s was the last great decade of variety and diverse music and music companies took risks, decent music videos still on MTV, and going to the record store at the mall.

And it all started in the 80's!!! If you wanna go further back I'll just mention the Beatles, Temptations, J5...etc.

History indeed that this song could be a number one hit. What at waste of my time. Not normally so negative but wow

En 1994 se estrena la película Reality Bites, conocida en España como Bocados de realidad y en Latam como Generación X. Dirigida y protagonizada por Ben Stiller, junto a Winona Ryder e Ethan Hawke, cuenta, según explica su propia sinopsis, "una visión de la realidad desde la Generación X". Como suele pasar en este tipo de proyectos de tipo independiente (presupuesto casi nulo) un lugar donde se puede ahorrar es en la música. Se tira de bandas independientes, poco conocidas, y así. Lisa Loeb estudiaba en la misma universidad que Ethan Hawke, y había compuesto música para algunas de las obras en las que él había participado. Además, por aquel entonces vivía en un apartamento justo enfrente al de Hawke. Tantas casualidades no podían quedar en nada. Lisa le comparte a Ethan un cassette con algunas canciones nuevas. Ethan se las lleva a Ben Stiller. Ben la pone en la película (en los créditos finales, pero bien Ben). La canción se vuelve un hit a partir del estreno de la película. Las radios pasan la banda sonora hasta el cansancio, y todos piden por el disco de Lisa, que no existe porque no tenía contrato con ninguna discográfica. El vídeo de la canción fue dirigido por Ethan Hawke y es una idea suya de inicio a fin ese traveling por el apartamento vacío (parodiado años después en Hot Tub Time Machine 2). Lisa no estaba convencida de hacer un vídeo sin su banda, así que Ethan le prometió que si hacían este y no le gustaba, él se hacía cargo de hacer otro con la banda. Adivinen qué pasó. Historias en las que jugarse por lo que a uno le gusta y te apasiona demuestra que trae sus frutos.

Yes and her style is definitely iconic!!!! I love this song!!!!!

Always loved her... Don't tell my boys!

My mom loved this song, I never realized she identified with it. She's a good woman, not understood and under appreciated.

Turning 43 in a month from now. Reminds me of a great time in my life; girls and drinks and parties and a little left over teenage angst and mostly girls. And dating lots of girls.... Did I mention girls? What a fond time to look back on.

Kinda comment that crushed my heart

Yess am 41 in 2020 shes amasing from Québec Canada Montréal french canadien fan but learn english to inderstans a song like this 🎁

40 for me haha the 90’s were so great. I’m glad I was a kid in the 80’s and a teen in the 90’s 🤟🏽

I'm 41, HARDEST CRUSH i ever had when i saw this girl :melt: Would've sold my soul, and I think I might have lol

Yup. Snd there’s a lost sensation in it’s simplicity. Sadly

The Internet and social media have definitely changed us more for the worse in my opinion.

Lol, I told my son (22) that in the "old days" if we liked a song, we either bought the record or waited till the radio played it, then maybe even got to tape-record it.

And record it on cassette tape!

@@Paris876 exactly!

And the song still gives me butterflies

Meeeee ❤😊😅

me

Me☝🏻

Me. Just heard this on the radio ❤❤

It still plays on the radio

Hey a Jenn Poper used to live near me where I grew up by the Corner market! I forgot about it to, untill the 90's show!

totally agree, but it's odd when you think I was born in 1980, 25 previous was 1955 Imagine how different they were both? Can't wait for 2045!

im here

im really excited when I watch this music video before. because youll never know when is the next one.

There is still good music just no longer for mainstream pop

I feel ya brother. I was in the womb in 94'. Very different world now

You said it perfectly!

Yeah wow. Well put. Genius level analysis! 👍

It’s definitely a great song. And you described it perfectly!

Exactly some talent 🎵🎶✌

firebat128 right so many people never noticed that.

Cat wrangler extraordinaire

Literally this is why I came to see if it was what I thought It was

FACTS!!!

Holy shit. Ur right

That is exactly correct. Have a cigar.

Actually there was an overproduction problem in the 80s as well, starting in about 1984.

Genres really moved fast that decade... like each year had its own thing going on... Maybe music still evolves that fast, but it's hard to get it to a mass audience

it's your generation that fucked us over, so thanks for that

Yup.

@@rahbeeuh sweet memories

👍

Really? Guys want crazy gf (in a good way)?

Ethan Hawke's career got big thanks to Robin Williams getting him an agent. So on top of all the other good Robin Williams did for the world we can also thank him for Lisa Loeb.

Nice

And the best neighbour!! ❤️

That neighbor was actually Dweezel Zappa the son of Frank Zappa. They both lived in Venice Beach at the time. When Lisa wrote this song about her recent breakup Dweezel took her in and helped pull some strings to get it recorded.

This was actually filmed in Ethan Hawke's apartment in NYC and was filmed before the song was ever released.

O stop it u r not the only one

I blame it on Fuller House too

And Lisa Loeb doesn't look like she's aged a day.

Me too 😂

It's ok on the age thing. You're in very good company.

But us 90's kids are getting old.

@@Will0w_0n.F0urs LOL 😂 👆!

The last authentic decade

Bout time this banger came back.

Ha ha. Right?

That’s what brought me here. Unfortunately I can’t listen to this song without hearing Craig Robinson singing it in the back of my head.

Yep...I definitely just came here cause of insurance!

Literally just watched that commercial and came right here lmbo

I haven't yet, but I keep hearing about it. I think I need to check it out.

She's gotten younger!

Still looks the same as she did in the 90s, loved hearing this growing up.

I recently saw that commercial. And yeah, she looks like she hasn't aged a year.

Plastic surgery and good lighting

Omg....I still dress like that...guess I should update 😳

@@anjenue4894 No, I love it! I still dress in all black most days too. I miss how comfortable all the clothes were in the 90s

I sooo miss the 90's. Best time of my life. 😢

30 years from now you will look back and you will think that you are on another planet. Believe me, everything is getting faster and faster. It's not that we are slowing down. It is written in the bible, time will increase faster and faster and you won't be able to understand that it is happening. Even your mindset and thinking is being altered and you don't even know it. You mind can not grasp the concept of time as it speeds up.

It's so NYC, love dressing all black!

And all this time I thought they shared it with us hot librarians

Hilarious! I've seen some hot librarians!​@@inconsequentia

Absolutely! As someone who can't wear contacts, I'm so glad!

She would have been hot with or without glasses. Hotter without though.

God bless you sir and your sister.

Love you David.

I teared over reading your post. We need to treasure the people we love in life, and keep their memories alive when they are gone. Love to you David.

truly she's been reborn but keep it as a secret, i always thought of this kinda thing

I'm sure she still loves you too bro.

Wow it's been that long!?!

Wow thats a long time...wow

Proves that this song stands the test of time. Timeless classic.

Her looking nearly the same in the recent Geico commercial also throws you for a loop.

27 and lets not jump the gun......

I miss my 80's friends.

When music actually made sense.

You will one day miss these days, too. Especially if you have young children.

The Analog Vs. Digital age, guess who wins. So much more complexity for what?

Mich3ll3 3ll3hciM I really don't think I'll miss these days. It's like we're stuck in a weird purgatory between the 20th century and whatever the future holds.

Aerosmith's Don't wanna miss a thing was one of the very best

80's were better

ＨＹ

💯

Yes it was. Truly love this song.

Woot! I saw a post that wanted one to look up the number 1 song on their 12th bday. This was mine. :D

Me. Feeling a bit low and wishing it was the 90s again

Hahaha seems like we are going through the same 90’s songs

@@saharieltbg also digging Jonathan Bree, Princess Chelsea, and St Vincent. They are very retro and talented.

Had to revisit Lisa .Got time on my hands(disinfected)..lol.Enjoy the music.

When I saw copyright 1994 I felt so old.

My mom showed me this.

time has flown!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Never heard this song (before widespread internet) then went across the pond in 1994 to work on an American camp and the kids there were singing and playing this like crazy....those kids are at least in their mid 30s now!

Wow. Clerk at a computer repair joint BITD. Always liked the artist & voice. Never Saw a vid til like 3-4 years ago. Ain't that worth a V-8 n Pop tart in the forehead. She's kinda Linda, si?!!

She takes the head of other one hit wonders..and with it their Quickening..There can be only 1..May it be Lisa Loeb..The Crylander.

Oh my gosh I just saw that the other day brilliant and whoever put her on that commercial

YOU say... there can be only one...

I seriously thought it was CGI or a composite shot with old footage. Then you see go watch the Howard Stern live performance from last year and realize it’s really her

Yes, she'll be there in the end with Duncan and Connor! Tricky Highlander thought she fooled us!

They didn't last long enough did they?

They went too fast

Me too especially the early 90's 😔

Smh

Smh right back

Lmao you're not alone brotha! 🤘🏼

@@ellesreviews8367 haha watching Dave's version was what made me come here and I'd just watched hot tub time machine 2 again where the guy steals her song

sad part about being a millennial is that we're either the generation that messed things up or we're the generation that is blamed for messing things up. But the cool thing about being a millennial is that we got to both experience life pre and post new age tech. That's pretty cool. We're like the transition generation. I was 7 when this song came out and I definitely appreciate it more nowadays cos back in the day, it was played all the time but now it's like once in a while gold.

I mean, there are probably some hidden cuts there when she passes behind pillars, but it's still a good effect.

@@joshf6136 probably = definitely ... it's a very old trick. Still great video though.

Thats why they left the part where she takes a misstep at 1:10

Exactly, youth...I find only kids say this. I was divorced in the 90s and fought cancer. I guess it's simple if your young and no responsibilities... But that's every kids life no matter the year

@@ptroweachspec4903 Yep. Aids was kinda a bitch too.

And nobody was staring at screens 24/7 which is the irony of writing on here. And my peers and I knew how to entertain ourselves something this gen of kids dontkmow how to and thry cant seem to be on their own either. Without being on your own alone, alone not lonely there's a HUGE difference, you dont know how to be comfortable with just being in your own company and allow thoughts to flow.

@@nickt4976 I was born in '85 and everything about the 80s terrified me as a child. I couldn't wait to get the fuck out of that hellacious, cocaine fueled, shit show of a decade. The 90s buried the cringe that was hair metal. We got grunge, alternative rock, hip-hop, g-funk, ska, punk rock. It was an explosion of musical creativity. I don't think we'll see that kind of authenticity again in music until the industry stops being creatively sanitized and political correctness stops being enforced on artists from an insanely loud minority. TL;DR 80s sucked, 90s ruled.

I was happy to have been born in the early years of the decade. Of course seeing the 90s through the eyes of a child can be a bit biased.
