[musiclove]

One of the most beautiful songs ever written.

[elconte]

How many are still here to listen to it again in 2024?

[mblo]

one of those songs that come once in a lifetime that makes your heart skip a beat

[bbygirl]

Getting over someone you never had is a whole different kind of pain and whole different kind of healing process.

[HRdreamerMusicFan]

The more I hear this song, the more I realize how great those lyrics are.

[Dustinwhy]

Possibly his best live performance ever. Listen to that running bass line. That’s talent folks.

[Outdoors]

Memories flow through my whole body listening to this and remembering being 20 in 1998 when city of angels came out. Gosh what an exciting time in my life. When memories are tied to a song, the song never gets old.

[JeffBourke]

The unique tunings this guy uses in so many songs... he is pretty genius

[bohguardth]

that guitar tuning has only one sole purpose: to play Iris

[bbaasje]

one of the best songs ever written imho

[joshgrazen]

The way he has that guitar tuned is flawless genius

[kylebeyers]

Can we just take a moment to praise Johnny for playing this song with five strings

[cookiesarecool]

i own a extra guitar just to play iris, no joke.

[GypSeaRNC]

John is one hell of a musician and writer. 20+ years and this song still hits me every time. These guys created a song that reaches so many people in their own personal way.

[bradrockl]

I was 12 when this song came out I am 36 now and I love it even more ❤️❤️❤️❤️90's what a Era for music

[georgieboy_htownevaeva]

This song remains one of my favorites. Absolutely incredible. Lyrically and spiritually.

[amahisa]

I've always felt this is a very emotionally charged song. Every time I hear it, I feel it deep.

[prestonterrell]

This song means the world to me I've been in love with this woman for 20 years.

[Jpollard]

I have a very strong personal connection with this song. It's the first song I learned from just getting lost in the music and watching him play it on guitar, no tabs just my eyes. Haven't played in years, been playing since I was 5 I'm 25 now, started playing again and man I forgot how much I need music in my life. Relearning this song today

[bakkermaarten]

How can you hate this song? I know it's overplayed and all, but at least it's heartfelt and not overproduced pop music. Every band would sell their soul just to be able to have one song like this one. It probably is the best rock ballad of all time.
