Iris (4:50)
4,098,734 plays (565,659 listeners)
“Iris” is a song by American alternative rock band the Goo Goo Dolls. Originally written for the soundtrack of 1998 film City of Angels, the song was later included on the band’s sixth album Dizzy Up the Girl. The acoustic guitar in the song gives a distinctive sound as it is in an odd tuning, with 5 of the 6 strings tuned to D. This gives a ringing effect similar to a 12-string guitar. “Iris” has been one of the Goo Goo Dolls’ most defining song in terms of its contribution to the band’s future success. It is the longest charting number one single in Billboard Hot 100 Airplay history with 18 consecutive weeks in the number one spot.

You either hate or love it. This song and Long Way Down got me addicted to the band. I have most of their albums. Dizzy up the Girl and Boy Named Goo are my top albums.
