Nickelback - Too Bad [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

Nickelback's latest album, The Best of Nickelback, Volume 1 is available now on Roadrunner Records.

LYRICS

Fathers hands were lined with dirt
From long days in the field
And mothers hands are serving meals
In a café on Main Street
With mouths to feed
Just trying to keep clothing on our backs
And all I hear about is
And how it's so bad, it's so bad

It's too bad, it's stupid
Too late, so wrong, so long
It's too bad that we had no time to rewind
Let's walk, let's talk
Let's talk

You left without saying goodbye
Although I'm sure you tried
You call the house from time to time
To make sure we're alive
But you weren't there
Right when I'm needed you the most
And now I dream about it
And how it's so bad, it's so bad

Father's hands are lined with guilt
For tearing us apart
Guess it turned out in the end
Just look at where we are
We made it out, we still got clothing on our backs
And now I scream about it
And how it's so bad, it's so bad

Long time, let's walk, let's talk

This was the first song my dad downloaded for me back on windows 98 off Napster when I was like 7, I’m 25 now.... Rest In Peace dad, I still play this song for you

[agarcia]

This definitely hits different and harder now that I’m older.

[jaybeeo]

I don’t care what people say, they got some bangers

[mellieelle]

This song came on the radio the other day and all I kept thinking was... HOW DARE THEY SAY NICKELBACK SUCKED. They're so good. 😂😂😂❤

[henriquecatao]

I don't understand why this song is so underrated

[AlarmingExit]

This was the band that got me into rock music as a kid. I’ll always love me some Nickelback.

[JoshChase]

I’m still listening in 2020, Idgaf what anyone says about nickelback this was one of the best bands of 2000s.

[aymanfaris]

Criminally underrated song; quite possibly the best track off this record!

A big shoutout to Rick Parashar who did an incredible job on the production of this album and on many other similar sounding ones of this era. RIP, you are sorely missed.

[chrik]

Nickelback have a couple gems for sure. Loved this song when I was 13, and at 33 it still gets it. Where does the time go?

[lfruler]

18 years after hearing still get goose bumps. I didn't meet my dad until i was 5 yrs. and it's not gotten any better.
Finally understanding why I date unavailable people. Because everyone close to me Is unavailable. I'm so thankful for understanding. I'm going to keep molding myself with love and patience. I'm going to do my best to break the bad generational qualities of my family, with myself.

I haven't seen my dad in 20+ years Christmas Eve. I used to hate him but I've learned to dislike him. I don't know if I could ever forgive him, confront him or even attend his funeral when the times comes. I did what I could as a kid to keep the relationship but his selfish off and on abandonment, lies and false truths became too much and didn't want to put myself through it anymore and told him to his face that Christmas Eve. This song has hit home for me for so many years and in 2023 it still does.

[claudiogarcia]

2041 anyone ? I'm probably with 50 years old now, so like it to me remember this time!

[oscarpizarro]

Whos here still in 2020 2021 🤘oh wait ✋ 2022 !!!and still 2024!!!🤘🔥

[brunocavalcanti]

I have immense affection for Nickelback, they are one of the most UNJUSTICED bands in the world!

They have great songs and incredible energy, they marked my childhood and that of several people.

[njpianoman]

Damn that guitar tone during the chorus hits hard to me. And the story in the video is so powerful. Props to all the parents who continue to parent through all kinds of adversity.

September 11, 2001 has had an incredible impact on my life. I remember thinking that day that it was going to be something I would never forget. Hardly a day goes by that I don’t think about it. It was the day Nickelback’s album Silver Side Up was released.

I went to Walmart to buy it. The cashier was crying. She must have already listened to it and was affected by some of the more emotional songs. On the way home I popped it into my CD player. I was blown away by it from the very first moment. I tried to stop at a gas station, but for some reason they were all crowded. I guess it was all the people going out to buy the new album. When I got home my parents asked me if I had heard the news. I told them I already knew about the new Nickelback album. I went to my room to listen to it. Every song was amazing and the track layout was perfect. The cover art was awesome. Chad Kroeger and the other guys looked like the epitome of rockstars. It was an incredible work of genius and I could understand why the cashier was so emotional. I had loved Curb and The State, but this was something completely new and different from my favorite band. My parents were watching the news really loud so I had to turn it up to drown that out. I played it on repeat over and over until I fell asleep. It was one of the most memorable days of my life. I can’t even begin to imagine what my life would be like without Silver Side Up.

[pepeandjojo]

I like the voice, very gruff and strong, puts emotion into his voice

[hockeyfan]

I swear people, nickelback shaped us all and though we as a community don’t want to admit it. They have some wicked bangers that hit deep and taught us all lessons we didn’t know we needed.

[clintengland]

How can you not love nickelback. To he'll with all the nickelback haters. Awesome job guys keep the music coming.

[clintengland]

Nickelback has got to be one of my favorite bands of all time.
