Rapper FIRST time REACTION to Goo Goo Dolls – Iris ! This is amazing...

This was my daughter’s favorite song. Every time I hear this song it brings tears to my eyes. She passed away 9/24/20, leaving behind her 3 week old daughter, who I’m raising now. I miss her so much!💔💔

This is from the movie City of Angels. In the movie he's an angel who falls in love with a human. He has to choose to fall to be with her. Hence the line I would give up forever to touch you

When my sister was struggling with her cancer listening to the GooGooDolls helped her through her treatments and when they heard her story they sent her to a meet and greet with backstage passes and even gave her an autographed guitar. They truely are amazing. I prefer their early punk stuff but even this is awesome.

GooGoo Dolls, Matchbox 20, Vertical Horizon, Everclear.. There was a lot of good music that got you in your feelings around the turn of the century.

Hearing the lead singer, John Rzeznik, tell his story of struggling with writer's block helped me get out of my own writing slump. So I'm eternally grateful to him for that. 😊

Goo Goo Dolls were a punk band for a long time with little success. Then he wrote "Name", a ballad on a B-side that blew up to the #1 Played song for an entire year. His old Punk fans lashed out at him and he turned into a recluse in depression for a long time. Eventually, he recovered and exploded back in his haters faces with this and another epic ballad and secured his place in songwriting history. But yeah - the lyrics make sense because he was dealing with hate from old fans and sudden adoption into a pop culture his brand had originally shunned.

Plus this dude can sing like nobody's business!

The line "you bleed just to know you're alive" always gets me.

This song live from Buffalo in pouring rain is AMAZING!!!

This song was a great soundtrack for the movie. Probably the best angel movie of that era

This song was written for the soundtrack to the movie "City of Angels" with Nicolas Cage and Meg ryan. He played an angel who gave up his powers and invisibility to fall in love with a human woman.

The Goo Goo Dolls were the quintessential 90s pop band! Beautiful, thoughtful, well-written songs!❤❤

Another Band from around this time is Train. Check out Drops of Jupiter, it's one of those songs that you'll playlist immediately.

From the movie City of Angels with Meg Ryan and Nicholas Cage

I look at it from my own perspective... a broken man who wants his children to know who he really is rather than to simply see him for the broken husk of the man he once was.

Love Iris. The lyric “I bleed to know I’m alive “. Gets me every time 🥹

My daughter and I have seen the Goo Goo Dolls 4 times in concert. I cry at "Iris", and she cries at "Name". Watch the video of "Come to Me" with your lovely wife. You both might have some tears!

This was one of my late husbands favourite songs. 14 yrs since his passing I can listen to it and smile.

Every time you say playlist, I think of the 70’s, making my playlist. One radio, one cassette player, and two fingers were ready to record once the DJ stopped talking. Dang he always talked as the song started. Sitting for 90 mins for the top ten to finish.

The name “Goo Goo Dolls” comes from a True Detective ad for a toy called the Goo Goo Doll. The band needed a name for a gig, so they just randomly picked one based on something they saw.
