It's amazing how much emotion comes flooding back when I hear music from this era. I'm 53 and heard this today in a big store while shopping and it literally stopped me dead in my tracks. My son was 3 and my daughter wasn't born yet. My life was in such staggering transition. My (now ex) wife hated me, and I was trying to grow up and be responsible after years of being a wild free spirited idiot. I was fairly recently clean and sober (and stayed that way), and it seemed world was clearer, yet I was so disillusioned. That time seems like a lifetime behind me, but despite the disillusionment of that time, I remember it with such fondness. It's hard not to wish I could go back knowing what I know now. So much life wasted I wish I could go back and live to the fullest if given another chance.

Some people go their entire lives without realizing what you have at age 53. Make the best of everything you have from today forward, enjoy life but make sure everything you do has value and is meaningful so that you never look back at 53 from your 60's or 70's and feel as you did about your 20's and early 30's.

In 1995, this song woke me on my alarm to my final day as a high school student. The song was perfect for my mood; bittersweet. I had it in my head the entire day, knowing I would never see most of these people ever again ("we said we'd send letters, and all of those little things"). Almost 30 years later and its still reminds me of that bittersweet day. I connected with some old friends from HS. Found out some were dead and I just wonder about the rest. Life is really fleeting.

This is one of my favs from the lads down under. It is a "Healing Song". Cool video too.

I grew up listening to this song but only recently did it truly become so special to me. I went to Ireland and booked a tour by myself to visit the Giant’s Causeway up in Northern Ireland. I sat near this girl on the bus from Dublin who also came alone, she was from London and I America. The lyrics almost perfectly depict our situation. Once we reached the Causeway we spotted the ocean and walked among the ancient volcanic stones together. Laughed, told stories, shared our different experiences. We hiked to the edge of the cliffs and just stood in awe. After about an hour we got back onto the bus and began the long journey home in our respective seats. We finally arrived back in Dublin and as we got off the bus we quickly bid each other farewell and wished each other luck in the rest of our lives. Later I tried to search her up on social media to no avail as I’d only gotten her first name and we took no pictures together. Now when I hear this song I think of her and how eerily it encapsulates that day. We both wrote our names on the fence at the end of the cliffs. Hope you’re doing well Maude.

I often hear comments about how the 80's was the last decade of really good music. What so many people forget is that there was a slew of excellent music from the early 90's that somehow got lost in the craziness that was the late 90's when our lives changed forever because of this thing called the Internet. Then 9/11 really changed things forever. From about 90 to 95, I was in audio heaven because of groups like Toad the Wet Sprocket, the Gin Blossoms, 10,000 Maniacs, R.E.M., the Indigo Girls... This song is an excellent example of what treasures the early 90's gave us.

I've often had the same debate with people, about when things hypothetically 'dropped off' with regard to great pop/rock music, and I think the truth lies closer to it slowly fading off over several years. As Mozzer said back in '87.... "The ashes of pop music are all around us if we will but see them." I agree in the sense that we could already see it was beginning to turn in on itself by the mid-late 80s, and nothing much new or groundbreaking was going on as there are (obviously) only so many chord/melodic structures and interesting lyrical topics to write about before it gets stale. So, although there wasn't a lot of boundary pushing going on, I think you're dead right in suggesting that there was still some fantastic music being written throughout the early-mid 90s.... and a lot coming from U.S bands at that.

My dear 90's, I was 17 years old in 1991, I do not regret having done everything I did, and mom, you were still with me and I miss you when listening to this song again.

As a young man I always went tired of older people memorizing moments in combination with songs from that time. Now I understand, because this is one of the songs that gave me hope in the struggles of youth and family issues. This song gave me a feeling of freedom, hope and to not give up. Now as I am older it gives me the same good feeling. Thanks Toaders.

As someone who lives in Washington, near the San Juan Islands, it makes me feel so good to know this song was inspired by our lovely state.

Can't listen to this song without breaking out in tears. I lost my dad a couple months back and we used to listen to this song driving around in his jeep Cherokee. I try not to beat myself up but it's hard cause the night before he passed he asked me to hang out with him and the rest of my family and I decided to play video games with my friends instead. So now I'm here and I'm gonna listen to this song over and over again until I have no more tears to cry.

I blamed myself for years when I had the thought to go check on my Dad because he was in the garage late at night past his bed time, but I reassured myself everything was probably fine. I found him hanging in the garage the next morning. I felt like if I was there it would have made a difference and I would still have my best friend. I don't think he knew he was my best friend. You can't undo what's done, so no use to make yourself feel miserable. Besides, your Dad would would want you to be happy--not sad. He would want you to remember the times you did have together, not the moments apart. You didn't purposely not say goodbye. But, I get it, you miss your Dad. It will take awhile. Give yourself some time.

I like the drum intro and the vocal lead into "All I Want" ...And this song, who knew a hiking trip for a bunch of city slickers could be so profound. The imagery is so clear! "I'll be sure to write because of this short-term bonding experience." " Toad" sneaks up on you with their profundity. "Nothing so loud, as hearing when we've lied?" Ouch! That cuts to the core.

I moved to Spokane, Wa. in1991 to finish my externship for my degree in Radiology . This song is so ingrained in my heart from that time every time I hear it, all those memories come flooding back! So touching!

OMG, I woke up the other day and this was in my head and I was like WTH, I have not heard this in years. I had to hear it again for real.

One of the best written songs of the past 25 years.

I miss living in 92- 93. Those were great years.

This is one of those songs that I never get tired of hearing. And I've been loving it since it was first released.

I absolutely love this song but everytime I hear it it always stirs such feelings of melancholy in me as well.

Surprised these guys didn't make it bigger! Very talented band and will always love these guys.

To me this song seems so pure. I'm also a music lover and was in my 20's when I first heard this song. Quickly became a favorite.

Saw them back in 95. Amazing. Glad to be a gen x'er, we had the best music.

I remember being a teen and hearing All I Want. In 98 before turning 18 I got the album. Soon as I heard this I thought of my parents timeshare at OBX. I think this is their best song and it's beautiful

"...just memories to hold, grow sweeter each season, as we slowly grow old" Pure magic, moves me every time.

What a great song,loved it in 1993 and love it even more now. Takes me back to a much simpler & much better time. Fricking miss those days like crazy.

UH Fall semester 1992, alone, new city, new university, excited and afraid all at once, and for some reason I clearly recall this track playing in the dorm cafeteria. Never thought much of it, but decades later, the nostalgia just hits me.

I'm so glad I got to see Toad The Wet Sprocket this past summer. When they played this song, I turned into a sobbing mess.

remember I broke my left arm in 1991. I was 3 years old but I remember it clear as day. My grandma asked me if I could get up on a chair and reach to turn off the radio. She was an elderly woman in her late 80s and couldn’t do it. I got up on the chair, the chair tilted back and I landed on my arm with all my weight. Come to think of it, this is the song that was playing on the radio at the time of the accident. I’m 100% certain of this. I think I must have a very photogenic memory because now that I think hard about it, the sound of it sounds just like it. Like having déjà vu all over again. My god.... has time gone by so fast?. I just turned 33 this month of December and it feels like that event at age 3 doesn’t fully demostraste 30 damn years transpired. I was listening to 90s rock and this son popped up as suggested 😆 well, life sure is full of nice surprises, innit?. Sadly, my grandma passed away 2 years later in 1993 because of a brain tumor.

Ohhhh, Glen Phillips... How your voice will always give me chills and take me back to simple times when life wasn't filled with technology, hate, and stress. The days when you'd go see TOAD in concert sitting on a grass hill barefoot without a care in the world... 🦋 (but I put my sandals on when I left)😂

I was 7 when this song was released in 1991. I remember liking it but forgot about it as the years passed. I rediscovered this song 17 years later in the summer of 2008. At that time, I just started my career as a nurse. I was excited for the future but was anxious and lacked confidence around patients. It was during that time that I met Pam. We were both new nurses working on the same floor. We connected instantly and developed a close friendship. I must have played this song on repeat a thousand times that summer. Pam unfortunately passed away in March of 2019. I still listen to this song today; it transports me back to 2008 - the beginning of a career and a lifelong friendship. ❤️

Don't even have pictures Just memories to hold Grow sweeter each season As we slowly grow old

yeah there's been very few gems I've come across after the 90s. Of the few, off the top of my head Hum's last album Inlet from 2020 before their drummer tragically died was great, and a couple of bands were very good like Queens of the Stone Age, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Redlight King not to mention continuing albums from other great artists around in the 90s and sometimes prior like Gary Numan has only gotten better with age, NIN is still spectacular, Corrosion of Conformity is still around. I miss though having also bands like Toad the Wet Sprocket, the Cranberries, Collective Soul, Portishead, Live, etc and those did pretty much die with the 90s as did Grunge for the most part. I have thin hopes that maybe someday once again we'll see Travis Meeks touring with a new band for Days of the New, although it is doubtful.
