I was singing this at work randomly and I was like yea I'm a 31 year black man who really digs Sheryl Crow and I'm okay with that :)

When this song was a hit, I was a jobless teenager who just left school daydreaming everyday about where in the world life was going to take me. I look at planes in the sky and question myself if there ever will be a day when I escape the poverty and the hard times. Today I live comfortably after working 23 years. It’s amazing how music takes you back to a specific point in your life.

"maybe nothing lasts forever, even when you stay together..."

That guitar riff in the beginning is fire👌

Man how I miss the 90s…even this particular genre was a whole lot better then than now…sadly enough…they don’t make like this anymore.😢😢😢

I'm working on that time machine, guys. I will get us all back home.

We don't talk enough about how this was secretly the best song of the 90s

Sheryl deserved a Grammy for this song, i can't seem to get enough of.

To me Sheryl is the finest female singer ever.

It's one of those songs that you don't get bored of replaying over and over again.

This song still hits as hard in my mid 40's as it did in my teenage years.

I’ve been on a Sheryl Crow lately, she is flawless, gorgeous, inspirational and talented. She is one that definitely deserved getting out in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame.

thank you Goodwill for playing this song while i was there. ive forgotten how amazing this song is

Heard this gem in the grocery store yesterday and had to revisit...that bridge to the end is just best. They don't write them like this anymore.

My favorite Sheryl Crow song

I'm finally old enough to understand the stuff she sings about, her songs are so good lol I see how she's a platinum selling artist now

I first heard this song as a kid in the ‘90s. Listening to it now really hits different now that I’m 35 and have experienced my fair share of heartbreaks. If I had a chance to go back in time and forever stay in the ‘90s, I would. I miss this kind of music when artists sang about real emotions. It’s a shame that music isn’t like this anymore.

This woman has had my heart for years. Way better than she was given credit for.

One of the greatest guitar riffs of all time…no joke. Such an amazing song…in happier times…

TIMELESS MASTERPIECE

That guitar and her voice is perfect.

I know I can’t be the only 70 year old who absolutely loves this amazing woman’s work!

I've always absolutely adored Sheryl Crow

I'm sure she's sometimes here after a bad day reading the comment section and smiling. 🐎❤️

Your my favorite mistake..Did you see me walking by?? Did it ever make you cry??? Who's still rocking 2020?!?. The hook/chorus is beautiful .... Sheryl crow is beautiful ❤🧡

This for me is the best song from Sheryl Crow..will never get tired of listening to this 💗

This lady has a incredible way of expressing the feelings involved with misadventure.. Who dosent love sheryl ☘️

she isn't appreciated enough. song writing genius. legend

This song will never get old

The world needs more of this music! The 90's rocked, Sheryl rocks.

This whole song is fire. It gets better as the song goes on. Really hard to pull off. Even in simplicity.

Timeless song from a woman with such timeless beauty.

My favorite Sheryl Crow song.

Sheryl Crow - the full package - beautiful, incredibly talented: singer/songwriter, musician, record producer, actress, activist. She plays guitar, bass and keyboards....

I was singing this at work randomly and I was like yea I’m a 41 year old asian man who digs Sheryl Crow and I’m okay with that :)

She’s so beautiful, and her voice is amazing 💙

Tell me I’m not the only one that never realized how beautiful Sheryl Crow is until now after having watched this video for the first time in 20 years...

Back in 98 (I was 19) when this would come on the radio, in stores, etc. I'd always say "it's my song!" and I heard it the other day in a store and couldn't help but smile. Time flies!

They don't make music like this anymore. RIP

it gets better and more sophisticated every time. this is not some simple dumb ass bs rock/pop song people, this is rock and roll history, a piece of the best there ever was and we're lucky to be here to hear it. thank you sheryl crow. it's gift that keeps on giving. i can't say enough.

This song got me through a really tough break up. ❤️ thank you Sheryl for capturing all of our favorite mistakes

The lyrics are poetry and I think everyone can relate to that one relationship that was messed up at least on one level. I personally think that makes for a great song.

Genuinely one of the best songs of the 90's, from one of the best American artists of the 90's. I hadn't heard this for a while but immediately was taken back to my teenage years.

The tune of the video & look, her hair outfits everything is so visionary stunning 🤩 Like a old time postcard with a little color. Amazing 🥲

My favorite song of hers. I don't care what age or gender you are. It applies.You will never forget your Favorite Mistake. Hopefully, they haven't forgotten you.But they'll still be your favorite.

These were the days when life was real to me.

She’s by far my favourite female artist

I appreciate the music when I first heard it as a child. It was when I was older when I paid attention to the lyrics. It hits differently, especially, when you're going through it. I'll always miss my favorite mistake.

Sheryl is gorgeous. I've adored her music since I was a kid.

This song is so amazing. My favorite part has always been the beautiful melody of the outro when she sings: "Did you know, could you tell You were the only one That I ever loved Now everything's so wrong Did you see me walking by? Did it ever make you cry? You're my favorite mistake You're my favorite mistake You're my favorite mistake"

I am!!!! Just got done listening to jagged little pill CD. Saw her in concert at Blossom Music Center in the 90's and it was the BEST. She is one of the best female vocals of all time. Should be in the Rock Hall of Fame!!

I love her composition. It's like a beautifully winding road. You don't know where you're going or where you'll end up, but it's bound to be beautiful.

miss the 90's

Damn, how great are these lyrics???? Seriously. BRILLIANT. just brilliant.

Such a beautiful song ❤the lyrics, the harmonies the whole damn thing 👏👏👏

One of my favourite 90s songs. I’m 49 and I’ll love this forever

My favorite Sheryl's song. Class.

I'm 33 and have loved this song for 20 years now... and I swear every few years when I hear it again I hear an entirely different version of the same story because of my own life experiences. Her lyrics are so excellent.

If you get the chance to see her LIVE, GO! She is BRILLIANT! I hope she sees this! She played tons of instruments in 97 at the Blossom Music Centre! She was FABULOOOUS! WOW That voice!

Almost 20 years on, still love this song :)

That 3- note riff is so perfect. Captures 1998-1999 so perfectly for me. Not sure if Sheryl or Jeff Trott wrote that riff, but it is so emblematic of that time frame...just perfect.

That’s awesome y’all it sucks being alone… Its always good to find the right one for you that likes you for you period…..

Still listening to this in '23. Found myself singing parts of it randomly throughout my day! Lol. Sheryl Crow is what I grew up listening to with my mom. Childhood memories right here! Her music is so simple.

I really like Sheryl Crow, and this is by far my favorite thing that she's ever recorded. It rocks with a great Keith Richards' style rhythm guitar playing, it has a certain funky approach with attitude, playfulness, and sex appeal up the wazoo (at least speaking personally). And, on top of all that, the song's lyrics capture what's it's like to feel trapped inside the strong pull of someone despite knowing full well that they're tearing you down.

I woke up and called this morning, The tone of your voice was a warning That you don't care for me anymore. I made up the bed we sleep in. I looked at the clock when you creep in. It's 6 AM and I'm alone. Did you know when you go it's the perfect ending, To the bad day I was just beginning. When you go, all I know is you're my favorite mistake. Your friends are sorry for me. They watch you pretend to adore me. But I am no fool to this game. Now here comes your secret lover, She'll be unlike any other, Until your guilt goes up in flames. Did you know when you go it's the perfect ending, To the bad day I'd gotten used to spending. When you go, all I know is you're my favorite mistake You're my favorite mistake. Well maybe nothing lasts forever, Even when you stay together. I don't need forever after, but it's your laughter won't let me go So I'm holding on this way. Did you know could you tell you were the only one That I ever loved? Now everything's so wrong. Did you see me walking by, did it ever make you cry? Now you're my favorite mistake Yeah you're my favorite mistake You're my favorite mistake

Hey swifteys, now this is musicial talent.

Sheryl Crow is perfection in every way...Still hot and sounds great at 60! ❤

Pure genius 💯 The lyrics, the composition, vocals, flow....EVERYTHING!

What a mind blowing way to start an album! The musicality on this album is so stratospherically high. She did her best work producing herself. Too bad she doesn’t do that anymore.

This song never gets a old 💚 I remember my mom singing while cutting hair at her beauty shop when I was a kid brings back good memories ☺️

I never get tired of listening to her.

Music lovers get why this is her best

This is one of my favorite songs from Sheryl Crow. Definitely I recommend listen to this song after an awful breakup.

2:30 The bridge, solo and outro are greatness.

When I was a kid and Mom and I were on a trip one time driving we had this CD blasting on repeat the whole way, for whatever reason as a curious kid I was asking questions about where kids come from and being planned and what not. Then my Mom explained that I was a surprise but the best surprise ever, and in the most innocent way I was her “Favourite Mistake”. Forever more that was our song! I love you Ma ❤️

What a beautiful song. One of the best pop tunes of the 90s. So evocative, gorgeous melody, great lyrics. I haven't heard this in a while, and it's even better than I remembered.

A musical genius. I was about to go to a Beatle song. Then Sheryl Crow added this. Sheryl Crow is an outstanding musician that ranks with the very best!

I remember hearing this song in late 1998, was 16 years old, junior in high school. Sirius XM on their 90s channel today is having countdown of top 30 songs this week 12/17 of 1998, this song was number 17.

I used to listen to this song with my former best friend. Now that it wasn’t meant to be, this has a brand new meaning, and I’m all here for it…😂

Ahhhhhh the 90's what a time.

I was 18 when this came out. God one of my favourite songs of the era.

Still here in 2024 🎉 who else is? 😊

Most hottest, beautiful , female 90’s legend. I can remember singing along with her in my high-school years relating to all of her songs.

I see no flaw in that Sheryl, 100% beauty.

Sheryl Crow is a pro at putting you in your feelings💚😭

Definitely my favorite song of hers ♥️

Sometimes this is the only thing that’ll make it ok to be hurt like this I won’t live again thank you Sheryl crow for getting me through the shit again ❤

My favorite Sheryl Crow song. No other song compares to this musical masterpiece

listened to this for the first time in a number of years on my way to the mall to shop today... caught myself singing along in my car... this never gets old for those with a broken heart..makes me wanna sit in the corner with my guitar and strum a few notes and cry a few tears

I guess we've all experienced someone, like that.😢

I was 24 when this came out. One of my all time favorite songs. Love the album and love Sheryl (as an artist). This song stirred emotions then, can still stir them now even though I’m happily married .

This takes me back to a simpler time. If I only knew what I had back then🖤

Nostalgia pura que me remite a mis mejores momentos de los 90s 😪

Let's admit it. It's on loop for the fifth time already.

This song is amazing, with one of the best crescendos of any rock and roll song.

She got the bass down ! Also that guitar is so crisp , I love this song

Did you know, could you tell You were the only one That I ever loved

I legit use this as a reference track in every new space I mix in. Such a perfectly produced piece. If you haven't already I encourage you to listen closely to the secondary guitar tracks, the tambourine, and that beautiful organ.

SHERYL CROW FOR ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAME 2023 your music is timeless ❤️🙂😘

This just reminds me of THE best time for amazing female singer/songwriters. The 90's were the best, in so many ways.
