She is an alcoholic and had an absent father and no other father figure. My now ex-wife could never get past the abuses she experienced as a young girl from a broken home.
Vinnie from Pvb, FlThis song came at a time when my marriage was in trouble. I was front row all day and was just awesome. I will say the M-One line up was Simple Plan (2nd band on stage as they were an unknown band), Default, Lifehouse, Nickelback, Tea Party, Midnight Oil, Billy Idol, Garbage, Goo Goo Dolls. Most of the time when a singer says that the crowd goes mental, well in this case the crowd was like, what is that song!!įor myself, I knew the song and loved it that they played it but for most people it was not "Iris".
Most of the people were expecting "Iris" as that was huge in Australia whereas "Name" didn't even chart out here, unlike America. They performed Slide and Broadway and before they started singing "Name", John Rzeznik said "This song needs no introduction" and started to sing the song "Name". The Goo Goo Dolls was one bands I was looking forward to seeing as I was a huge fan of their stuff. Anyhow thats another story for another time. The concert series was a flop but the line up of artist of awesome!!! Best music day of my life.
David Amaral from Bathurst, AustraliaThese guys performed at a festival in Sydney in 2002 called M-One. Phil from Lincoln, NeKennedy (90s VJ on MTV) says it was written about her, and Johnny admits she was the inspiration, according to her book The Kennedy Chronicles. You have to make the best of life but this song just reminds me of reality. I also like “I think about you all the time, but I don’t need the same”- this part reminds me of all the people you would do anything to have in your life but just didn’t feel the same about you. My favorite part is “cause all the dreams you never though you’d lose got tossed along the way”. A lot of things you wanted to accomplish don’t happen. Life doesn’t turn out like how most of us hope it does. I used to hear this song a lot on the radio and my dad loved it, now being grown up, doing something I hate just to make a living, and thinking about my great childhood is a little upsetting. Luke M from Buffalo My childhood was very good growing up, I was very blessed. Scattered like ice from the spoon there was my world.
In this action addicted world, sickness became real.
Theresa Ignacio from Waterbury ConnecticutChildhood is something you spend the rest of your life trying to forget.Ĭaught in the crossfire, waiting in silence.
