I love Nice Shot. I think the 90s were great because we were not a war in the US with any country and we were trying to get our sh! Things were looking grim in the future even back then so our government tried to address the global warming problem early.
I know because I worked for the DOE. Now we are going to be underwater just like in the video in all our coastal cities. I dislike this song because of the whole video, the video should be more positive, like a lot of smiley faces, perfect landscapes, views For me, this song is about reckoning, with oneself. I was in the shittiest marriage ever. But, I loved this woman like no other and still do. The day we parted, I heard this in a cafe and broke down in front of people.
Some people sat with me and listened to my bullshit. They gave me advice on moving on. This song cures. You will get out of this one, Jerry. It sucks what happened but you can learn from it. Focus on yourself and your future. Every time I hear this song, I am just as captivated by it as the very first time I heard it.
This tune is absolute magic This has been one of my favorite songs for almost 20 years. Let me be more precise: of the hundreds of songs I might consider a favorite This song can make me happy, sad, heartbroken, hopeful, wishful, and reflective all at the same time. It's just that powerful. It takes me back, touches my soul, and carries me onward.
God damn music is beautiful. Brandoballer47 You clearly need to deal with your own emotional outbursts. If you don't like the comment just keep scrolling instead of getting so butt hurt over it..
MrCpolzin are you familiar with the word "hypocrite"?? If you don't like my comment, just skip over it. You should probably follow your own stupid advice.. First concerts were Crystal Method and Prodigy. Pops was still alive. January 1st Who else is celebrating the new year January 1, listening to things song? After this I'm going way back to Limp Bizkit significant other and then some Korn follow the leader. Have a Blessed New Year.
I know I will. I remember this from my past. Listening now on a set of Sansui speakers. Cant get this clear today Honestly, do you really care?? Or u just need likes on your comment to feel better? Craving attention?? Brandoballer47 Well.. I care because it's one of my favorite songs and I want to know who else knows this song to be honest, and yeah, im in for the likes I love all the dreamy colors that were used in music videos back then.
Kind of like in the movie what dreams may come. I totally agree with you. They don't make them like this anymore. It's funny you don't notice any of that at the time, but you look back in retrospect and it's so obvious. All the jewel toned colors. Like Matchbox 20's 'Real World' video is completely tinted green. So awesome. I'm sorry man. I lost my dad two years ago and i'm still really upset about it. I wish I had more photos too. Me and my wife are photographers.
Sorry for your loss. Ateast you have the good memories. I wish you well in the future. Awake on my airplane Awake on my airplane My skin is bare My skin is theirs Awake on my airplane. Marcelo Cruz.

Mykel Saijem. Here's my personal meaning for this song. When I hear this song or watch the video, I experience intense nostalgia. I don't mean just remembering some period in the past fondly. I'm talking an existential connection between the me of the present moment and a time of my life that is gone where I experience a deep spiritual and emotional nexus that combines both remembering what what was real and intense loss because it no longer is real and is no longer experienced and not fully remembered.
This, for me, is both soul piercing sadness and elevating joy at the same time. I very much want to feel this but it also very much hurts to feel it. Three things really activate this intense state. Scent, music and images. For instance the smell of cut grass on a hot day takes me right back to my teenage years while not taking me fully enough back, thus I have this experience. The music of this song, now over a decade later, has this powerful effect on me.
It's like a magic spell activating the time period when my adult sons were teenagers and we were evolving from them liking my music to me liking theirs.
But the words, for me, have a personal meaning that is all about this nostalgia. You see when that past was present I was "Awake" to it, My skin was "bare" to it, even belonging to it, being "theirs," all that was around me including the other people who were there. Here's something weird about this experience. It doesn't matter if back then it was a good or bad experience, it didn't matter if what was happening to me was due to others' scorn or hypocrisy or sanctity.
I was awake to it all and now I'm not. Then it was "real" and I was "newborn" into that reality, but now it's gone. So what I needed to make it somehow real now is a picture, a storing of the moment, because "I won't remember" it fully, it will be lost fully.
Thus I will have this nostalgia. Either way the refrain "Hey dad what do you think of your son now" captures all that, both of them, even though I'm a woman. The entire experience includes the then and the now and what would my dad then think now of me his daughter and what do I now think now about my son s then.
So that's my personal meaning of the song. I think it is congruent with the original meaning about a specific moment in Richard Patrick's life, because I think he also realized the same existential nexus between that specific moment and the rest of his existence afterwards. But even if it's just my personal meaning, it's still my personal meaning. There was an error. Yes, in the post i felt like you captured the meaning on the song perfectly. While reading you're post i was baffled you literally took the toughs out of my head Underearth on February 21, Eloquently said!
That is awesome. I couldn't have said it better. I was going to write my own meaning but I don't need to. You did it. LibWingofLibWing I have never agreed to an interpretation of any literary artwork as much as I have about this. Thank you for sharing. Particularly the lines, "both piercing sadness and elevating joy. It also echoes a sense of understanding that there are billions of other moments waiting for us to experience in our own personal life.
It was the same feeling I had as a teenager when I first heard this song, but I couldn't understand it now that I am a bit older and in that same sense I feel like a newborn letting yourself go in that moment. In my opinion, this song is a masterpiece, more so than a 90s radio hit song.
Counterclockwerk on February 08, LibWingofLibWing I'm fully with you on that one. The original meaning is irrelevant to me. There's such a sense of nostalgia and sadness but it's beautiful at the same time. Personally this reminds me of early s when a lot was going on in my life and I was having a very emotional and manic time. I was flying back and forth between London and New York for work while in a hypomanic state undiagnosed bipolar at that time.
The talk of 'awake on my airplane' brings back definite memories of the couple of hours before landing in New York the second time immensely excited as I'd decided to move there on a whim.
Excited but also massively agitated - made liveable my partying and drinking with some new friends. Once I came down from the mania I became massively depressed and wondered what the hell I was thinking. Flew back to London and spent a few years getting my life back together. So this song means all that! I came here to post this and see what the song meant to others after listening to the song for the first time in years.
LibWingofLibWing this is basically how I feel as well. I think about all of the times I had with friends as a kid and when I was younger. All the times we got high together and tripped. Some things I will never forget and this song helps me to live out those memories in my everyday life. All the memories you hold close to your heart and the happiness that good memories can bring. Such as memories of loved ones who are no longer with us and good times with friends where there was no responsibility or worry.
General Comment Actually folks what happened is the lead singer is afraid of flying. To calm him down one night the band got himwasted on the flight. He started dancing around and taking off his clothes acting like an idiot.
One of the band members started taking pictures so he would remember what he'd done in the morning. The part where he says "hey dad, what d'ya think about your son now" refers to the fact that the band mailed the nude photos to the lead singers parents as a joke.
The song was just a tribute to a fun spirited memory.
