I'm So 'Far Behind' On Candlebox Vocal Analyses. Let's Change That!

In my efforts to learn as much as I can about grunge, I never knew there was a post-grunge movement and how impactful the Seattle scene really was. Candlebox is completely new to me, and I can see why "Far Behind" was put on my list, and why it's considered grunge adjacent!

Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Candlebox for the first time, performing "Far Behind”.

This entire CD is amazing! So many memories attached to this. I miss the 90s ❤

[ferrouswheel]

My jaw dropped seeing this pop up. Never in a million years would I think you'd react to one of my favorite bands. So awesome.

[justinwalkowiak]

This song is a tribute to Andrew Wood lead singer to Mother Love Bone. Alice In Chains also did a tribute song to him titled “Would” that you should check out if you haven’t already!!

[bbqRADKLL]

I feel like Candlebox is such an underappreciated band. They have so many good tracks!

[jackshannon]

“You” is by far his best vocal. Would love to hear a review on that one.

[NunyaBizzyness]

That whole album is amazing. One of my all time favs. Underrated.

[Spencer_Beard]

I really was hoping that "You" would have been the first Candlebox song, but this will do. Good song, and fine example of Kevin's vocals

[skoobs]

The song is about his friendship (and breakdown of that friendship) with Andy Wood (of Mother Love Bone). When Andy started doing Heroin their friendship broke down and Kevin pushed Andy away and said some things that he regretted. Originally the 'now maybe' was meant to be 'Andy I didn't mean to treat you bad' but it was changed in the recording studio so it wasn't so obvious.

[emerje]

Man, I love it when he does those rambling lyrics with all the rage in his songs. It's not even the usual rock scream or shout, it's just pent up emotion.

[lilymcallister]

This song destroys me. I lost my brother to the same thing that took Andy. I get every sad ragey cry Kevin makes here. I feel it deep in my bones and I listen to it and understand it so perfectly. Some songs just do that. Like LP'S Tokyo Sunrise, Soundgarden's Fell On Black Days, and Lera Lynn's Only Thing Worth Fighting For, etc. Some songs, it feels like these talented angels wrote as a way for you to express your feelings through shared experiences. I am so grateful for that. I watched this analysis but had to pause multiple times and just cry. But I am grateful for it. Thank you Elizabeth.

[mikewatts]

To this day, I am still amazed on the amount of amazing music that came out during this era. That was relevant then and relevant now.
Thank you for this walk down memory lane.

[MrBobbyz]

More grunge/post grunge classics; Lightning Crashes by Live, Tomorrow by Silverchair.

Fantastic choice!! The Charismatic Voice continues to be the gold standard in YouTube reaction channels

[BatFan]

One of the most underrated guitar solos of the 90s. The song rarely gets brought up now a days but when you hear it you're like "yeah this song kicks a$$!" and since it was during the era where solos were starting to be phased out of mainstream rock to hear one so emotive and soulful it stands out.

[franzwohlgemuth]

@TheCharismaticVoice

The song is not about a relationship. It's about the lead vocalist of Mother Love Bone, Andy Wood.
Candlebox frontman Kevin Martin stated in 1994, "I wrote 'Far Behind' for Andy Wood. I was a huge Malfunkshun fan and a huge Mother Love Bone fan and I got to know Andy early on in his career when I was working in a shoe store with Susan Silver who was managing Mother Love Bone, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains."

It's about the loss of a friend from drugs.

[Bat]

No question here. Just wanted to thank you for the hours of QUALITY entertainment over the last couple years. Yours is one of my favorite channels on YouTube.

[headzsets]

Kevin Martin is originally from Illinois, then moved to Texas at 10, then Seattle when he was 15, so he was not a Seattle native. Candlebox was actually resented by many long time grunge bands who thought they lucked into the scene by who they knew (the lead singer worked at a shoe store with Chris Cornell's wife). They had only played a few major shows before Maverick records picked them up about 11 months after the band formed. While many other Seattle bands had been in the scene since the 80s.

[mattiefee]

This song still chokes me up with the last two choruses after the bridge. Always reminds me of my brother I lost to mental health when he was 18. 😢

[markdorval]

Thirty years later, this still hits so hard. It was cool how you uttered an 'Mmmm' right along with him on first listen to one of the verses. You picked up what he was putting down, for sure. Thanks for deepening my appreciation of this little piece of my adolescence...

[SilentChaos]

By 1994 I feel like a lot of bands came up that no longer emulated the early 90s Seattle grunge sound. So post grunge or alternative is what I heard. Remembering bands like Live, Bush, REM, Collective Soul, Weezer and Gin Blossoms brings me back.
More alternative please!
