Blues Traveler - Nefertiti Lyrics

The 90's produced some of the best music ever. Commercially and independently.

As I read the lyrics to this song. I pictured it as a song the Devil himself wrote. Although I am Old, I knew about this song, hence never liked them, nor mine kids liked them. I watch the music tell the truth mixed with all sorts of lying in a melody. And yet some sing along blindly not knowing if they are really spreading curses, No ? My Music preference varies of style as I age, I search not for just a melody but remember always to test what the Spirit has to say. After All, Music IS one of the things that IS Spirit Made.~ May Jesus Know Our Names I Pray ~

The beatiful Emma stone brought me here...!!! Cheers from Argentina!!!

See you guys in o.c !!!

25 years ago...I could sing this song in harmony with Jon....now at 50...I sound like Jyrki69...deep baritone vocals from smoking cigarettes all my life😬 love you Jon💥🖤🖤🖤🖤

Reminds me of the man that sent this to me Sergio C.💏

Trolling before trolling was a word.

Such talent! No melodic shredding guitar solo needed when Popper's on the harmonica!👍

So fortunate to grow up during the peak of 90s music. Blues traveler are amazing. Mr. Popper is a beast, but......FOB!

Intention and Empathy are everything...🕊💗🌍🌊💨🔥

RIP Ken Ober 1957-2009...

Funny, I’m literally reading that same Civil War book seen at the end of the video.

2020? after that no witness vote...

This song would come on MTV in the morning when I was getting ready for high school freshman year.

93 in Louisiana! Nice 😁

this song is incredibly ironically brilliant.... synopsis "I dont even have to sing about anything as long as it sounds catchy"

RIP Brad. Wish I would have kept in touch better.

Best reason ever

Trump supporters should watch this again!

Lead Singer of Blues Traveler, John Popper, IS a Trump Supporter. So what is your point?

The Hook never allowed me to leave...and I am just fine with that!

Shout out Minnesota!

The memories....😢 you would've had to be there..but this made one winter something else stained In memory forever..before crazies and social whatever the hell they call it, we lived the best life ever

This hook brings me back

Best and probably the number one go to song.

The hook. BRINGZ me bak to
Springfield Missouri 😂😉😎

top 5 sing in the shower songs.

Listen Maroon 5, this is how you Pachelbel Cannon!

I've been to some amazing shows...my dad and uncle (both dedicated musicians)took me to see bands like Queen, Zeppelin, Sabbath, Eagles, etc when I was young. In the later 80s, it was bands as varied as the Beach Boys to Poison to Springsteen. Later, as a teen, I saw Chains, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Motger Love Bone, and many others in the 90s. Moving on, Godsmack, Linkin Park, Disturbed, Danzig, and peppering in a little Metallica and COC, Pantera, Down, too many to name. But my wife randomly got me tickets to Blues Traveller a couple years ago...I wasn't expecting much. A good show of 90s hits maybe, but nothing more. How wrong I was. This was by far one of the top three BEST shows I have ever been to!! The musicianship and interaction with the audiencs was stellar and second to none!! Can't wait to see em again!!

The combination of John's vocals and hermonica is like a relaxing,warm hug.It tells you everything is going to work out in the end,just sit back and enjoy the song.

He's about the only one I can listen to on a harmonica. Normally, I detest the instrument, but with him, it just works and I really like it.

What an amazing time to be yung. The 80s and 90s the music was really trying to teach us something. Hope i retained some of it

Well the man don't lie does he, the hook definitely brings you back damn near 3 decades later. that's some longevity for you.

MTV treated this talented man like shit.

They deserve hall of fame

Funny thing about this song is the breakdown is what brings me back, not the hook, hahaha.

Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Slash : I can play a sick guitar solo.

John Popper : Hold my harmonica.

Idk who that bald guy with glasses is, but he bangs

hamza heravi Paul Schaffer. He ran the band for the Late Show with David Letterman. He’s a legend

cant count - id guess 50 watches - to get to the point where i dont have to watch this - can let it play in background--- by far the highest - popper likes to fk with ur mind

Is that Paul Schafer from Letterman on there?

RIP Ken Ober! such a great song as well! love it! John is legendary!

Emma stone brought me here

Absolutely beautiful song about nothing.

Sick a great song! (About the sociopathic nature of pickup game)

This song is literally like a tutorial on how to write a song, kind of funny when you think about it.

The 5.3k that didnt like this video, just quit listening to music

That be me

Great song considering the melody was from Pachelbel's Canon from somewhere between 1680 to 1706

It doesn't matter what I say
So long as I sing with inflection
That makes you feel I'll convey
Some inner truth or vast reflection
But I've said nothing so far
And I can keep it up for as long as it takes
And it don't matter who you are
If I'm doing my job then it's your resolve that breaks
Because the hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely
There is something amiss
I am being insincere
In fact I don't mean any of this
Still my confession draws you near
To confuse the issue I refer
To familiar heroes from long ago
No matter how much Peter loved her
What made the Pan refuse to grow
Was that the hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely
Suck it in, suck it in, suck it in
If you're Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn
Make a desperate move or else you'll win
And then begin to see
What you're doing to me
This MTV is not for free
It's so PC it's killing me
So desperately I sing to thee of love
Sure but also rage and hate and pain and fear of self
And I can't keep these feeling on the shelf
I've tried, well no, in fact I lied
Could be financial suicide but I've got too much pride inside
To hide or slide
I'll do as I'll decide and let it ride till until I've died
And only then shall I abide by this tide
Of catchy little tunes
Of hip three minute diddies
I wanna bust all your balloons
I wanna burn of all your cities to the ground
But I've found, I will not mess around
Unless I play then hey
I will go on all day
Hear what I say
I have a prayer to pray
That's really all this was
And when I'm feeling stuck and need a buck
I don't rely on luck
Because the hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook
On that you can rely

#greyforever it is!!! tis i! ♡jenn

#FUCTthoMAYiBE

#thankyou YOUTUBE AS WELL! GREAT SUGGESTION! pour MOI

I didn't realize till I read the lyrics how far ahead of there time this song was.

Yep! What an awesome melody!

The brilliance of this song is that it is as true today as it was in the 90s...Hollywood and the entertainment industry are soul leeches. Always have been, and always will be.

The hook brought me here

Is that John Conner?

I honestly cannot remember anyone else playing the veronica better...

Sh*t like i said about Blues Traveler&Run Around...Hook was a rockin kickass tune!! That band shoulda gone places!! They were robbed cuz their talent was obvious. What happened i wonder, i knew tons of folks that loved em when they hit the air? No accountin for taste n hits i guess?💛🖤💛

He was trolling us about the music industry, but I don't think he expected he'd be trolling us with generation nostalgia. The "hook" is the heart that brings you back; formulaic by the numbers music. But now it's 2020, and what's bringing me back is the desperate wish we could go back to when this song was new.

this dude stomped the whole music industry with killer talent . he clowned them in their face

This is the song for every Hellraiser fan out there.

This song could be commentary on much of the modern and post-modern art world, just as it is commentary on the failing art of music and the failing ear of the listener.

So fuckin’ awesome.

I used to think he was saying the hope brings you back.

I thought "heart."

Ken Ober, on the couch, for the win.

On some Blues Traveler tune somewhere on on YouTube is the best comment I've ever seen on any music video, ever; "damn, that dude just made that harmonica his bitch". Damn straight.

Emma Stone rocked this.

#FisherOfMen

I know im gonna sound like an old fuck, but dammit, why cant people make good shit like this anymore? I fuckin loved blues traveler when I was growin up. and hootie and the blowfish. fuckin love those guys.

Canon D Mayor... A copy of a song composed long time algo.

The rap verse brings me back to this song

Man I’ve been looking for this song for 20 yrs after a teacher burnt this on a cd for me

Dude. I fucking loved this song back in 2008. I had no idea what it was called but I knew it was Blues Traveler. Holy shit dude. I have never had more of a sense of nostalgia than right now.

3:27 - Tom & Jerry. "Salt Water Tabby"?

I only recently realized that I never really listened closely to the lyrics to this song...which I suppose is the point ha ha ha. Well done guys! Been hearing it for years and just clued in. Genius!

January 2020 and The hook still brings me back. Why ya gotta give me the run around? Modern music sucks ass

John Popper knew how to blow a harp. Also, if there is ever a movie about BT, Jack Black should play Popper.

Paul fucking Shaffer ... The coolest cat in the alley

This song meaning for me is what it feels like to be Peter Pan. One of the all time greats solos as well.

Dababy’s instastory brought Me here

funhuas brought me here not bad not bad at all

Why am I only allowed to hit LIKE once?!

I was really young when this song came out. For at least a couple years I thought Paul Shaffer was the lead singer of the band. :|

I really love these guys. Such a brilliant song.

Beets Bears and Blues Traveler

to me this is one of the best songs to come outta the 90s. The greed, corruption and constant me me me of that generation. MY generation. For so many reasons it will always remind me of my youth and all the money i wasted on designer clothes and shoes because society told me that was what i needed to be cool. the Blues Travelers nailed it with this song. By making us look at ourselves and ask the question is this what i really want to be? I am NOT MTv im not any of this.THANK YOU MR JOHN POPPER

Hey people, I got a hook in my head. I hope it's inoperable.
