The thing about this song is it was SO overplayed on the radio in the early 2000s, that even people who liked it eventually hated it. This is the same thing that happened with bands like Creed and Nickelback. It's not that they were bad, they were just forced upon you every 20-30 minutes by one platform or another. But once you've gone a decade or so without hearing them, and your wounds have healed, you start to appreciate those songs again. This is a great song. It was just mainstream doing what it does and ruining a good thing.

Saw Incubus and hoobastank in Roanoke va as my first cincertt ever, hoobastank had just released so before this album came out. Drive was the encore song

And years later, this song still moves me.

Same, but in the other direction, I suspect. If this were a "we just met" song, it would be amazing. It's definitely catchy, and the singer can sing. But the lyrics in the verse always gave me the impression that he cheated on her and is trying to win her back. If she's the reason he needed in order to turn his life around, why'd he do whatever things (yes, plural) that hurt her so much. I know relationships aren't all perfect, but this always came across to me as being too excessive for him not to have done something really, really awful to her.

I cry every time I hear this song. It was one of my best friend's and my favorites right before she died in a car accident. And everywhere I went that day this song was playing.

It is ironic and sad. Thank you so much. She left behind a 4 year old daughter who is grown now. It's been awhile and it's still hard. Since that moment I've lost both grandparents, both of my parents, my step dad, my aunt and uncle. Then recently my best friend was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. So keep me in your prayers.

The songs of theirs that play in my head from time to time are Out of Control and Inside of You.

This song is so cool that never gets old. Already a classic.

There's a music video for their song Same Direction. There's two music videos, but one which is a sequel to The Reason. Its called "Same Direction (The Sequel)." Different style to this but an awesome song and one of my favourites of theirs with great lyrics.

This is on my forever playlist. 2000s iconic song.

I love the BP discovering the 90's journey and I'm here for it.

There was quite a few 'car accident' MV's in the early 00's. This was one of them. My personal fav would be Alive by POD.

This is my mom's favorite song...and she is almost 76 years old. Its very catchy.

The best thing about this reaction is the strings on your shirt hanging so that it says "define your elf".

The fact that you loved this song and made the link to Incubus made me smile 😀 the crazy thing is that the lead singer of both bands are related and grew up together ... Cousin love and the toured together back when they first came out

This song came out in 2003! Vividly remember watching this music video on MTV back then lol

I love this song. Give it a listen again without watching the video.

This song for me is about my Sons after their Mother and I split up many years ago now. I can't hear this song without my eye leaking, so powerful.

I would love for you to react to the song "Rise above this by Seether" It is about shaun morgan's (the singer) brother eugene who committed suicide and the song is just so beautiful.

Did you not listen to succeeding albums and just listen to the radio? Some of these bands had great sophomore albums and beyond. The creed song he mentioned that he listened to wasn't even off of their first album. As an example, they had multiple hit songs on at least three albums. The poppier stuff, sure, a bunch of one-offs. Maybe a second song here and there...but radio-played out and done for them. But many of the real bands built decent catalogues.

i got to meet them before they blew up they played at house of blues in Myrtle Beach. Great guys Great Band

There’s a SICk Live video of Creed in the early days doing their song “What If” in a Practice session at a concert before the actual show and no one is there. To understand how hard a song goes, you need to watch that. It’s Truly Epic!

"I know Cold Play right?" I have been to quite a few concerts in my days including a few big stadium performances of some of my favorites like AC/DC, Bon Jovi, and Prince. I saw Cold Play with my son at the Atlanta Stadium in June of 2022. I literally had trouble standing up because the energy in the building, even with the roof retracted, was so epic! If that is the last concert I ever see, I feel like I saved the best for last. "Fix You" is probably my favorite Cold Play song if you would like a starting point.

Make sure to watch the sequel music video to this. It is for a different Hoobastank song called Same Direction that will absolutely amaze you

Out of control is a great song by them as well

check out their video for same direction, its actually connected with this video as both a sequel and prequel to this as it picks up where this ended

This is a great tune! Always scream along with it in the car.

Great song again from Hoobastank! 😊I just you to know!

fuck yeah, hoobastank is underrated

I about wore out that CD. This was my favorite song for about two years. Came out in 2003.

I always loved this song

My comment is not about this video, but I think a rabbit hole you may find worth jumping into is The Tesky Brothers. I just heard them for the first time a couple days ago, and I was completely blown away. Rain is a great song. Love Her With a Feeling is another great one. I think you'll really like them. Otis Redding fans absolutely love them. Check it out.

Hoobastank are Incubus little brother because they captured nearly the same sound when they came out. Lots of killer songs from both bands that were on the radio a ton starting 20-25+ years ago.

Ah, this was quite my anthem for a while... forever list ❤

This song came out on Released on January 26, 2004. The other band you are thinking of is Incubus. Also an amazing band with a phenomenal singer & lyrics. Interstellar love song is one of my fav from them as well. This song is 1000% on the forever playlist. I'm not a Hoobastank fan but i LOVE this song. It's simple yet deep & very melodic if you listen to all the production elements.

this is an all time great song and deserves to be on a forever play list. It was always on mine.

This song had a great vibe when I first heard it. It's been on my "playlist" for nearly 20 years. I probably downloaded it the same time I did Boulevard of Broken Dreams from Green Day and 100 Years from Five For Fighting.

Thank you, thank you and thank you

Love this song so much

I saw Hoobastank like two years ago when I was stationed in Hawaii they did a show for us on base at Pearl Harbor. It was actually sick. Crawling in the Dark is a banger!

Love this song 🎵 lyrics are meaningful

Excellent song!

Hoobastank has so many hits and the videos never disappoint.

One of my fav songs ever!! Great reaction. 😊

You should watch the video for their song 'Same Direction'. It was set as both the prequel and the sequel to "The Reason' video. Better to understand what happened.

this is on my play list listen to it all the time

On the topic of ultra cool videos..... One of the MOST creative and beautiful videos I have ever seen is "Gravity" by Sara Bareilles. Whoever conceived of that video should win an award.

Thank you for explaining that video! I never quite understood it! 😂

This song definately on my playlist! I actually ❤ Creed now more than back in the day his voice Scott Stapp is something else 👍 👌

The Reason is one of those albums that I will play all the way through. No bad songs on it.

Watched an interview with the band a long time ago. Interviewer asked about their name. Apparently they were sitting around trying to think of a name. Hoobastank came up. They started using it. Then...The Reason. Singer said they'd regretted it since bc it was a stupid name. Lol

This song always makes me think of my kids. From where I was, to where I am today.

Simple plan- perfect !!! If you like this, bands like Simple plan, Incubus, Sum 41 and Good Charlotte are worth checking out because their all similar plus it's all the same time period in rock radio hits

One of my all time favs

Legendery song.

Cold play. Hypnotise. My fave. I think you watched yellow

Hi there BP, they are deem as one-hit wonder, cause other songs of them didn't resonated in the charts, but this one. Bro look at band call "Yes" song "Owner of lonely heart" 1983 video, no live performance. Its dope, word. Respect and stay strong.

Falling in Reverse came out with an extreme hard rock song called Ronald. It is so extreme you need to have the CC clicked if you want to know what he is saying 🤣

This is one of those polarizing bands - lots love em, lots hate em.

Black Pegasus, pleased to meet you, again, i didnt ever say it before but ive been a musician for the past 29 years and i just wanted to suggest a band that never didnt make it....and they have a few songs on youtube and one i definately suggest is a song called Joining a Fanclub, please check it out......

i seen them chevelle and nickleback at tally civic center been a fan ever since they are very good live.

Yes more 🔥🔥

This song is considered alternative rock, although I'm not sure what makes something "alternative" vs just "rock"... just a certain vibe I guess. This song used to be on the radio constantly, but I've never seen the video. Wow, like watching a movie. I love his voice. You might check out a song called "Kiss Me" by Sixpence None the Richer, it's just a sweet, simple love song.. so beautiful.. Leigh Nash is the vocalist, she has such a beautiful voice and the song is, to me, perfect. Not show offy, or "wow listen to those runs..".. or "wow, listen to that guitar solo".. but just a beautiful song,if that makes sense. It doesn't have a Vemo, but the video for it is on Sixpence None the Richer's y t page... PS there is a video clip of Leigh telling David Letterman how they got their band name which is really awesome... ❤

I had to look it up because I always wondered. "Hoobastank" is a mispronouncing of a german word that basically means "sneakerhead". The singer came on an interview just before this song came out that said "basically we own a lot of shoes".

Hoobastank was the drummers last name I believe. Their debut album was heavier. Check out crawling in the dark

I guess the song you are referring to is Incubus - Stellar from the morning view album, one of the best rock albums from that era, grettings from Mexico!

This is a damn good song!

I remember when this song came out and I think it is a really good song. His voice is absolutely amazing

This song actually has a part 2 to it

👍Check out Crawling in the Dark by them. I think you would like Cold by Crossfade also.

"Stellar" by Incubus is what you're thinking of. That's an awesome song. Would be sick to see you react to it again after all this time on the channel!

This song. In December 2003, I was getting ready to propose to my long-term girlfriend, but she dumped me because I had become an embarrassment - just graduated from college, but promptly laid off from my first job, so I was living in a city where I knew almost no one and working at a store in the mall to scrape by. Several months of personal chaos followed. Then I get a call from a girl I met at a summer job several years before and had hung out with a couple times doing dumb teenager stuff. She starts the call with, "I don't know if you remember me, but I have a beautiful baby daughter, and she has your eyes." More chaos. Then I met my 3-year old daughter for the first time. This song was all over the radio, "I've found a reason to start over new, and the reason is you..." That hit me. Fast forward. I've been happily married to that girl I barely knew for 18 years, and my baby is about to graduate from college. Every time I hear this song, I go straight back to where it started.

one of the best classic songs that gets u no matter what

love it

You mentioned Incubus, they have a tune called DRIVE, now that is an incredible piece of music with a life lesson woven in. Hope you think about playing it sometime.
