Backstreet Boys - Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely

Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely by Backstreet Boys Song Info

Released December 21, 1999. "Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely" is the third single off Backstreet Boys' 1999 album, Millennium. It is a significant hit, second only to the first single I Want It That Way from the same album, becoming one of the most successful singles of the boy band. It was released on December 10, 1999, the video was released in early 2000 and peaked at #3 on the UK Singles Chart, and #6 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also reached #2 in Switzerland, the Netherlands, Sweden and New Zealand, and #3 in Finland and Norway. The music video for "Show Me The Meaning of Being Lonely" was directed by Stuart Gosling in December 1999 in Los Angeles, CA. It follows each of the band members separately until the instrumental break and final choruses. The video begins at a hospital, in which Brian Littrell watches doctors try to save a patient, also portrayed by Littrell. A. J. McLean's scenes take place on a coach bus, mourning the loss of a girl whose photo he carries. He sees her appear on the bus, but she fades away. Kevin Richardson watches film of himself and his father in an apartment. Nick Carter walks down a city street in the rain and saves a girl from almost being hit by the bus McLean is on. Howie Dorough drinks from a teacup at an old-style bar as a girl in red runs towards him, but fades away before she reaches him. Richardson arrives to meet Dorough and the two leave the building together. McLean's bus arrives, and Littrell exits the hospital. The five band members congregate and begin walking down the street together. Most of the video is shot in a desaturated scheme in which only certain red elements were brightly colored, until the very end of the video when the band walks out of the city into a brightly coloured field. Whereas each band member has a lead vocal part in the song, each of their separate scenes is introduced at or just before their verse begins. The video, somewhat darker in tone than any of the band's previous releases, touches on several of the band's real-world issues. Littrell had undergone open heart surgery the previous year for a defect he'd had since birth. The video used actual footage of Richardson and his deceased father. The girl Dorough sees represents his sister, who dies a year earlier. Additionally, the bus McLean rides is marked for "Denniz St.", and is driven by an actor who resembles Denniz PoP; PoP had died in 1998. A second cut of the video was released some time after the first. The video added a dedication before the video: "This video is dedicated to Denniz POP [sic], and to all those who have lost a loved one". The second cut also altered the special effect used when the girls disappear from a fade in which the girls' shape distorts in a "ripple" effect to just fading away.

I remember getting this album 14 years ago, I loved it, I still have the CD saved. I can sing the entire the album still... So many great memories in the 90s including BSB. Still a fan xoxo

- Love them

I like this album but i love the way you like it i enjoy it i love this song tell me why

- Childhood hahaha

Respect to the classics. One Direction is a disgrace

- Backstreet Boys-Millenium (1999)

The Backstreet Boys, and their team of hired songwriters and producers, knew how to make a feel-good pop song. They had some killer harmonies, and were, in my opinion, better singers than some of the other boy bands at the time. Ultimately, I love this album because it reminds me of good times I had as a kid.

- Classic

This is my favorite album of all time. No, I don't regret saying that.

- Backstreet Boys

Nice music i want it that way good song

- Love them!

I Want It That Way is my favorite classic song. My first favorite band and will always be one of my favorites. One of the greatest bands of all time.

- Nice CD

I have NEVER been a fan of boy bands but this band had some great songs they always bring back good memories of my teen years.

- The best song

I love I want it that way it's like the perfect song

- greatest song of all time

the best

- A.W.E.S.O.M.E

Im a 17 year old guy but I love BSB. My sister and I used to listen to this when I was like 7 and I liked it then. Now ten years later I started listening to them again and I was blown away! This one in particular brought back so many great memories. They are seriously one of my all time favorite groups.

- Awesome album

I remember my parents bought me the cassette version of the Millennium album. Then a month later they bought me the CD version when CDs were just staring to come out.

- Fan 4 life

I been listening to bsb forever . Since they came out

- Lovelovelove

Cool

- Ahhhh!

These guys remind me of my childhood so much. First time I've heard them in a while.

- my childhood

I had the casette tape of this when it came out and I remember every song. this group and album is my childhood. (:

- Memory Lane

Aw man, listening to these songs bring back childhood memories. All in all these are great songs and even better for the good times that the songs bring back to me.

- Memories!!!

I remember sitting in my bedroom when i was about 6 or 7 for hours listening to these songs over and over... I found this CD when I was moving my bedroom stuff to the basement and almost cried when I saw how scratched up it was... I still remember every lyric to every song!!! Backstreet Boys will never get old!! <3 <3

- :)

Love them

- Legends

The Backstreet Boys are a legend. No other band can even be compared to them. One Direction is a joke. The Backstreet Boys made real music, not some crappy pop songs. These guys were real!

- Not good

*NSYNC is better than this.

- Songs on I tunes

I paid $1.29 for a song which ain't a lot but it was not even the whole song. That's a rip off. I will never buy another song off here and I hope everyone reads this and don't buy any either.

- LOVE THEM FOREVER AND ALWAYS

I'm 13 and I can be honest I didn't really care for 80's and 90's music.. But when my older brother listened to Backstreet Boys I fell in love he let me have all the CD's he had!!! I love them!!! They are my favorite I listen to them all the time!! And when someone at school don't know who they are I have a blank look on my face.. Because there awesome!! I will never forget the BSB!! ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜

- I love you forever!

These songs take me back 15 years... I can still sing all their songs and I still love them all! Classic!!!

- O M G

I am 10 and my sister who is 23 showed me bsb at the age of 5 and I became amased with them

- ๐Ÿ‘

WOW what a great album. I was 11 when this came out & now at 24, it's so much more special... I can actually relate to the songs now! Timeless pop album. Infinite stars.

- I want it that wayโค

I'm 13 and a HUGE fan of Backstreet Boys๐Ÿ’š they're amazing!! Especially them in I WANT IT THAT WAY!!!๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—

- :)

THE BACKSTREET BOYS ARE THE FIRST EVER BOY BAND THAT I LOVED.... they seriously have made history! this brings me back to my elementary school days! <3

- Childhood...

I was 6 when this album came out and I remember my mom bought it for me, and she also bought me the concert VHS and I watched it EVERYDAY. I only listened to the Backstreet Boys...probably the only girl out there that wasn't a "Britney" girl. Oh well still know alllll the lyrics

- It's their best album

I love this album one of their best I bought this album when I was 15 years old I still listen to this album til this day bring back memories I'm 30 now,Fav. Song....don't want to loose you and Spanish eyes and of course I want it that way...

- Yes!

Good thing I was born in the 90's!

- BSB FOREVER

They will always be the it of our generation and their music will be legendary. i JUST LOVE THEM!! This is utterly great music, i cant even find the right word to describe it.

- I will never be too old for BSB!! lol

Jeez $7.71 I remember when this album first came out and it was worth more like $12 lol Brings back some good memories :)

- This is the real music of life

I am 12. And I can tell you one thing. I'm not your average modern kid. I play 90s games and love 70s,80s, and 90s music. I hate rap. This IS THE BEST ALBUM EVER. My dad got me into those types of music like BSB. I can to relate to all these songs. I know I sound like a 35 year old but kids definitely don't know the real passion and meaning for music and I believe they should all listen to this album.

- <3

I want it that way!(:

- Backstreet boys

Being a 90s kids I remember listening to them all time. I used to bug my parents about I how much I loved Nick Carter. I saw them twice in concert. I want it that way is my favorite song

- Timeless

This has to be one of my all time favorite Albums! It's timeless, if you are a BSB fan or not! I've been a BSB fan for 15 years and I still listen to them to this day! Great music and one of the best albums ever! I saw them in concert last summer and it's amazing how many true fans they have! They are awesome!!

- Review

I am 18 years old and I jam to BSB, lol. I find the 90's era of music awesome. I remember my sister jamming to this album in the car when she was in high school! She is now 30. I prefer 90's pop over today's pop.

- Love it

i'm a 15 year old girl. I LOVE One Direction, but i hate other stuff like justin bieber & big time rush. i listen to eminem, linkin park, coldplay, b.o.b, kelly clarkson-people in general who have talent. that's why i don't listen to over half the pop music now-it's all computers and autotuning, no real instruments & no talent (cough cough nicki minaj cough cough). boybands are usually like thatโ€”manufactured & autotuned, only used to make money. but Backstreets Boys & One Direction are & always will be the only acceptionโ€”cause they use actual instruments & have talent, & i believe they do love what they do, they're not just being payed to do it.

- ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

I will always and forever be a BSB fan I love you all ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–

- Favorite Music Group of all Time!!!

I love BSB! One Direction may be hot now, but none of their albums will ever become diamond!

- 90's music like this really needs to make a come back!

Even though I was the age of 11/2 the year this album came out my sister however, was about the age of 5 and she was crazy obsessed with this band and their music till she was 10 and she got the CDs and I heard them all the time.

- This album deserves more than five stars

I love this album with all of my heart. I am a huge fan of the backstreet boys. They will forever hold a special place in my heart. From the first time that I heard them, I fell in love. They are simply amazing. Five stars isn't enough.

- Love them

My favorite was I want it that way

- My backStreetboys opinion

This is the best Album they made. Aj is still my #number 1

- Backstreet boys โคโคโคโคโค

I've been a fan ever since this album came out and I was probably bout 5 years old when it did. Now I'm 18 and i still consider myself a backstreet boy fan and I always will. This was actual pure music that dominated the 90's like britney spears, Christina aguilera, n sync, and so many others, nowadays I truly miss the 90's music so much. Cause now it's all Justin bieber and cheesy pop songs like " Call me maybe" which 2 me is very annoying in my opinion. The backstreet boys is the best group ever in music history and when this album came out I had a huge crush on Brian :)))) and my all time favorite song and video is I want it that way. I'm so happy that kevin is back with the group and I'm very excited 4 their new album next year. :)))))

- Backstreet Boys

I love these songs!

- Love!!!

I live the song I want it that way!!!

- Love it!

Love this album. Hands down one of their best albums.
