same. it's like they're sympathizing with you, but still have to let you go. it hurts because you know they care so they wouldn't unless they had to, and you rlly are that bad. idk that's just what it makes me think of.
But it's because of the second part "when they closed their eyes and prayed you would change" or whatever it is. It's saying no one approached them (likely about their addiction issues, but could also be being LGBTQ+) and tried to intervene, they just watched and let it happen, and therefore it's unsurprising that the individual didn't get better.
I originally thought this was about someone being pressured into the military by a military family. Like the kid hated the idea but he was half way forced into it before running away right before boot camp and i kinda really like thinking of this song like that i dunno
I'm a senior engineer. And I finally feel like I made it. But I've been through failure and depression and something about my fate has always felt semi-fatally deterministic, no matter how successful. I used to cry to that phrase in this song so many years ago for reasons I thought I understood. Yet all my previously assumed reasons are gone now and it still hits me with a gut shot. I'm not sure what it is. But best of luck to all you young folk!
Void my ex used to play this in the car. always felt like he was trying to say something... Hed like touch me or something when that line came up. I now sleep on a twin sized mattress after he left me for a woman he hadnt seen in years. hits so hard. it's such a great song though. "i wanna contribute to the chaos. I dont wanna watch, and then complain, cause I am through finding blame, that is a decision that I have made."
It hits harder than the beginning of West Virginia "is it raining where you are, the only thing I could think to ask.... But nothing ever hurt so bad, as the no that you said back"
my friend ended his life, and so much resonates with me. "with tears in my eyes, i begged you to stay. you said "hey man, i love you but no fucking way." That's exactly what happened. Song forever on repeat.
I dont mean to be so off topic but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb lost my password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
I recently broke up with my girlfriend who was suffering heavily with BPD after nearly a year of being with them and finding out how badly they were (unintentionally) hurting me. I first heard this song when it came out but I relate to it differently now. Thanks for being a part of my life despite all of the hurt and pain. I'll never forget you. I wish you all the happiness in the world MLJ, I really hope you get better one day ❤️
@@DonChodle you’re sick. I hope there’s more research on bpd in the future. people like you are why borderlines struggle and are constantly paranoid. there’s no reason to be paranoid after all, because people really do think so genuinely shitty of this literal PERSONALITY disorder. I’m starting to think those with no mental health issues have it worse than we do.
I broke up with my ex-gf who has bpd a little over a year ago and it was one of the hardest times of my life. It was impossible to fulfill her needs and anytime I couldn’t her brain made her feel like it was a personal attack. As far as I know she’s better now that she goes to therapy and takes medication. Just wanted you to know you’re not alone.
I don't think I'll ever get sick of the Front Bottom's music. I've had "Talon of the Hawk" on repeat in my car for over a month. Honestly, I don't want to listen to anything else. I can't remember the last time I've connected to a band like this. These guys are truly amazing musicians.
I've known the Front Bottoms going on 7 years or so, I must say it's so refreshing to see two kids (Once Three) work so hard and have it pay off for them. They were constantly on the road, and didn't expect anything back. To see this video have over a million views now, and to see so many people selling out shows for them is fucking amazing. I remember when their songs on MySpace had 15 plays total. To people trying to become successful musicians, to kids who want their band to play in front of thousands of people like TFB does every night. It doesn't come by wishing, get in your van, get in front of kids faces and play the songs that you worked so hard creating, because they mean so much to you. Don't do this for the wrong reasons, ie. fame, money blah blah blah. Be like TFB and do it because it's fun, do it because it makes you feel, do it because you can't see yourself doing anything else. I've learned this lesson from them and am so happy to still call them friends because seeing all of that drives me. MAKE your dreams come true. Don't wish. -Pete Clark
I can never tell if this song makes me happy or sad and that makes me relisten to the song everyday and it's been an ongoing thing for 3 months and I still can't say what I feel about this song...fuck
The Front Bottoms literally make all their lyrics relatable no matter where you are in life. Listening to this band for about 9 or 10 years now and no matter how I grow as a person their art always touches me in a very vulnerable way.
I finally understand the opening line of this song. When you get old enough that your friends no longer have the courage to say no to their obligations and everyone just drifts apart without saying a word.
Over a decade later, Im a decade older, but my heart, left in the past, still pumps just as hard with every note, every stanza, every harmony, and every beat like it's the first time. And every lyric, that i scream at the top of my lungs, behind the wheel of my car, and in the rear view mirror of the car in front of me, feels like the first time i could recite this song from start to finish.
the magic thing about this song is that you never get over it you always act like "oh i forgot how that part is like" and you want to listen to it again and again
I absolutely love these guys. I saw them live last night and I'm still recovering from how amazing it was. The played twin size mattress as their last song and the energy was ridiculous.
This was my absolute favorite band back when my sister died December 2014. They helped me cope so much. I spent so much time crying my eyes out to their music. So coming back to listen now feels a little bitter sweet.
I helped my brother move into his new apartment with his girlfriend. He was talking about having to buy a new bed now and I put this song on during the drive out there. The lyrics at the end, regarding the twin size mattress, are just so sad. To picture somebody living that way is like, a curse I would't wish on anybody. I'm happy for everyone who graduates up in size to add another. I think that's what life's about. That's how you know. Song hits like a fucking freight train at the end.
Yes people are passing this song without getting the true message. It's sucks so much to live like that from my experience and i hope anyone going through a situation like that stays strong
the first time i listened to this song, i literally burst into tears. it described the mindset i was in at that time so well. this song is forever going to be one of my favourites.
it's almost 5am and i have no clue what this song just said but i like it and will continue to listen to more in the future (preferably when i can comprehend what it's saying)
man, i had no clue you guys even existed until March. i was just some depressed kid in Michigan. yknow new band. cool. no but you guys actually helped the trip become phenomenal. id been vommiting, and my anxiety was shooting through the roofs, i felt comfort listening to you guys. i was so happy to find you guys during that trip. you genuinely helped me. you guys are my favourite band 😭😭
I love top I have been a fan for 4 years, but tfb is a whole different genre. Top is more pop and tfb is more folk. The only similarities are how lyrical both groups are.
My children, Chris and Courtney grew up with these guys. They continue to amaze me with all of their music. Good job guys! Hope you're having fun on tour.
This is for the lions living in the wiry broke down frames of my friends’ bodies When the floodwater comes, it ain’t gonna be clear, it’s gonna look like mud But I will help you swim, I will help you swim, I’m gonna help you swim This is for the snakes and the people they bite For the friends I’ve made, for the sleepless nights For the warning signs I’ve completely ignored There’s an amount to take, reasons to take more It’s no big surprise you turned out this way When they closed their eyes and prayed you would change And they cut your hair, and sent you away You stopped by my house the night you escaped With tears in my eyes, I begged you to stay You said “Hey man, I love you, but no fucking way” I’m sure that we could find something for you to do on stage Maybe shake a tambourine, or when I sing, you sing harmonies This is for the lake that me and my friends swim in Naked and dumb on a drunken night And it should've felt good, but I could hear the Jaws theme song On repeat in the back of my mind Make sure you kiss your knuckles before you punch me in the face There are lessons to be learned Consequences for all the stupid things I say And it is no big surprise you turned out this way The spark in your eyes, the look on your face, I will not be brave I’m sure that we could find something for you to do on stage Maybe shake a tambourine, or when I sing, you sing harmonies I wanna contribute to the chaos I don’t wanna watch and then complain ‘Cause I am through finding blame That is a decision that I have made She hopes I’m cursed forever To sleep on a twin size mattress In somebody’s attic or basement my whole life Never graduating up in size to add another And my nightmares will have nightmares every night Oh, every night, every night
This album came out a few months before I graduated high school and quickly became the soundtrack to my life at that time. So many amazing memories made to these amazing songs 💙
No, they're not. Which is makes them so much better. They're not that good at singing and playing instruments (with the exception of this song), but it seems like Brian knows how the lines are supposed to be sang with a certain emotion, so he does it regardless of his ability. It's the lyrics that give me the chills, and the way they express it makes it seem more helpless. In other words, they're not perfect, but that's what makes them perfect.
i just saw myself in the crowd in the video, that was awesome. i've seen these guys live more than once and they are amazing, and i actually started listening to them after i head them open for tenacious d last year. great work, can't wait to hear the new album!
been 9 years and this song is still my favourite ever, even after 5 years. still holds up. something about it seems so relateable although ive never experienced the true meaning of the song.
I saw them live in Salt Lake City last night and I can honestly say it's the best concert I've ever been to. The vibes from the entire audience were so positive and the music was better than I could've hoped for: Even better live! TFB are so genuine and kind and appreciative of the success they have and it makes seeing them in person so much better. I can't wait to see them again on their next tour! Thanks for an amazing show, guys.
I finally found this great music video again! When fooling around on acoustic guitar recently I started playing the intro two note riff then have been trying to remember this band and song ever since.
playing this song on repeat, lost my best friend to addiction two days ago. This song is nearly ten years old but I feel like I've truly heard it for the first time.
i don't comment much but...this song. this song has SOMETHING. and whatever it is, i've never heard it anywhere else in my life. the line with the title, and "hey man i love you but no fucking way" are definitely highlights, but the part that gets me the most is just listening to him yell "I WANNA CONTRIBUTE TO THE CHAOS, I DON'T WANNA WATCH AND THEN COMPLAIN." because that line...it's like i just feel it all the way to the roots of my soul, you know? it's screaming out everything inside me that i can't say in real life, and in so few words. idk. this song is special and i had to say it to somebody. there's nothing quite like it, and i can't seem to fully burn myself out no matter how many times i listen.
About a week ago, I had never heard of this band before. Out of the blue, my sister asked me to go to one of their upcoming shows. I wasn't familiar with the band, but I love live music so I said yes. In the days leading up to the show, I started listening to their music. This song came on and I wasn't super into it for the first part. I'm much more into hard rock, metal, and pop punk so I was having a hard time getting into the strange, spoken lyrics and the soft backing guitar... that is, until the "hey man I love you but NO F****ING WAY" part... then I started paying attention. By the end of the song, I had been treated to one of the best musical crescendos I've ever heard. I listened to it at least a dozen more times leading up to the show, along with a few of their other hits (Emotional, Peach, Father) and completely fell in love with the band I've been to a little over a dozen concerts in my 17 years on this planet, both big and small. I've heard some of my all time favorite bands live and in person and have made hundreds of amazing memories, but screaming NEVER GRADUATING UP IN SIZE TO ADD ANOTHER in a small theater in downtown Syracuse with my sister and a couple thousand others is easily my best yet. It's been 6 days since then and I can sing every word.
my uncle committed suicide less than 3 weeks ago and this song had helped me so much. it describes perfectly about what i’m feeling and what he was feeling before he passed.
I’ve dealt with addiction for over 15 years and I feel this song.. was chasing that for years. The amount of ppl and gf’s I’ve lost to this shit makes me cry
the front bottoms encapsulated the vibe of growing up in suburban New Jersey. I listened to them all through high school and they just get the perfect vibes every time I miss home. Hope they're doing well
I was listening to this at night while taking a walk around my neighbourhood, It made me wanna cry a lot, this song is on a whole other level, it's amazing
Saw them live a couple days ago. As soon as this song started, I just lost it. I started crying because going to their concert was the first outing I'd had in months. It made me so happy. I'm glad this band exists.❤️
I love you guys. Seen you live a few times at different times in my life and that hour to hour and a half was an escape. I could never thank this band enough for dragging me through my darkest days. All love to whatever endeavors this band decides.
Aeor Terps i absolutely love them. my sister showed them to me a couple of years ago and their concert was my first. ever since then i’ve had their songs on repeat.
I listen to this a lot during the really stressful parts of college, and now, even when I'm not stressed, I can't help but getting a bad feeling when listening.
@@AA-bs3iy I still struggle with depression occasionally, but I have a decent job, a beautiful girlfriend, some pets, and a nice place. Adult life is hard, especially in the US, but you do have to uncover happiness to make the most of your life. This song definitely brings back memories!
You blast this song over the bridge on the NJ parkway. You just do it, especially when you haven't been home in a minute. Windows down, summer time meeting back up with people from high school when this album came out. Love you FB
i don't know why but whenever i listen to he part at 0:54 it just reminds me of cassie from euphoria and that scene where her dad comes to take the silverware to go and buy yk
Been here listening to them almost ten years now. Gonna see them live for the third time tonight. This band and particular this song has gotten me through some incredibly tough times in my life. Can’t wait to get my TFB tattoo. So happy I found this song on accident almost ten years ago. It really changed my life for the better.
It's funny how a simple song can bring so many emotions back, I fell in love with song as I was falling in love for the first time and let me say it's so much harder to listen to when that person isn't around anymore
i love this song, its beautiful. when you realize your in a relationship and its just a break up in the making for the whole time you dated. and you have nothing to do but listen to songs that move you in a way to understand why....
"It's no big surprise you turned out this way" that line cuts me up for some reason ngl
same. it's like they're sympathizing with you, but still have to let you go. it hurts because you know they care so they wouldn't unless they had to, and you rlly are that bad. idk that's just what it makes me think of.

I'm a senior engineer. And I finally feel like I made it. But I've been through failure and depression and something about my fate has always felt semi-fatally deterministic, no matter how successful. I used to cry to that phrase in this song so many years ago for reasons I thought I understood. Yet all my previously assumed reasons are gone now and it still hits me with a gut shot. I'm not sure what it is. But best of luck to all you young folk!
this song is a feel good song to just jam out to
but at the same time it's a song that i could sit and bawl out my eyes to for hours
just like 95% of twenty one pilots songs
very true
Yeah but twenty one pilots are nothing compared to these guys
Twenty One Pilots and The Front Bottoms are both excellent bands. But your fandom is noted.
Samamurai I agree with you
*discovers front bottoms* doesn't listen to anything else for like 2 weeks
*2 months
Elena Lopez *1 year
Effectator Your so cool
i can relate
Joseph Leon more like two months
"Hey man, I love you but no fucking way." is the best part of the entire song in my opinion.
Void my ex used to play this in the car. always felt like he was trying to say something... Hed like touch me or something when that line came up. I now sleep on a twin sized mattress after he left me for a woman he hadnt seen in years. hits so hard. it's such a great song though. "i wanna contribute to the chaos. I dont wanna watch, and then complain, cause I am through finding blame, that is a decision that I have made."
I think
“She hopes I’m
Cursed forever to sleep on a
Twin size mattress
In somebody’s attic or basement my whole life”
Is a strong contender
...this whole time i thought it was "Hey man, i love you, but go fuck yourself"
It hits harder than the beginning of West Virginia "is it raining where you are, the only thing I could think to ask.... But nothing ever hurt so bad, as the no that you said back"
Yes, I think exactly the same !!😁😁
my friend ended his life, and so much resonates with me.
"with tears in my eyes, i begged you to stay.
you said "hey man, i love you but no fucking way."
That's exactly what happened.
Song forever on repeat.
Anna Ringstad sorry for your loss my friend. I know it's never easy to continue to troop on but I'm very proud of you.

It's two in the morning, I'm naked, I'm tired, I'm lonely, and I've never heard this song. It better be amazing
Hang in there, dude.
I hope you werent disappointed

Saw them both on tour with brand new and it was probably the best show of my life

"she hopes I'm cursed, forever, to sleep on a, twin size mattress in somebody's attic or basement my whole life" - *insert skin crawling feelings*
Hey
"Make sure you kiss your knuckles before you punch me in the face."
this line makes me want to scream every time i hear it. like goddamn. it didn’t have to go that hard but it did.
It's all tight but I think that's the bit that hits me the hardest. I don't care how you treat me as long as you notice me.
As a corporal punishment survivor this line is everything to me

This song makes me feel like I'm no longer alone when I hear it. I've been listening to it at least once a day for the last 2 months.
It will never end. You have to listen to this at least once in a while to feel okay.
This was me and my beat friends song.. I've listened to it everyday since he died..
Pedo Bear . Same. I fucking feel you.
I love you, stay strong.
Stay strong, buddy! Know it's been a while since then, but I still feel you.
Are you still listening to? (Also sorry for your loss)
I don't think I'll ever get sick of the Front Bottom's music. I've had "Talon of the Hawk" on repeat in my car for over a month. Honestly, I don't want to listen to anything else. I can't remember the last time I've connected to a band like this. These guys are truly amazing musicians.
I’m still listening to talon on the reg 4 years later
Showing my best friend this song inspired her to stay alive. I could not love this band more for this fact alone.

+Avery Owen it makes you happy and sad at the same time. emotional, in the first place. that makes them so addictive, me thinks.

yesss i was at this show lol
I'm seeing them tonight! By any chance do you remember what their line up was? I get so anxious wondering what songs bands might choose to play. Haha.
I don't remember the order but they played Maps, Skeleton, Swimming Pool, Jim Boggart, Twin Size Mattress, and Fuck, Jobs.
It was a pretty short set though because they weren't headlining. Are you seeing them with Say Anything, You Blew It and The So-So Glos?
Yes! It was incredible. Too short but so worth it. Need to see them again soon!
This was my absolute favorite band back when my sister died December 2014. They helped me cope so much. I spent so much time crying my eyes out to their music. So coming back to listen now feels a little bitter sweet.

reminding you of this song so you can hear it again
Go lissen this song again man!!!
So many years later but still without fail whenever i hear that "SHE HOPES IM CURSED, FOREVER" line start i still get goosebumps. What a masterpiece.
this isnt lyricism...its poetry...& paired with such a raw voice...its doing something to my emotions
Holy fuck did this song grow on me
sameeee
why am i so in love with these songs they're from so long ago
Love Ur Karl Jacobs pfp
man, i had no clue you guys even existed until March. i was just some depressed kid in Michigan. yknow new band. cool.
no but you guys actually helped the trip become phenomenal. id been vommiting, and my anxiety was shooting through the roofs, i felt comfort listening to you guys.
i was so happy to find you guys during that trip. you genuinely helped me.
you guys are my favourite band 😭😭
I literally don't understand how anyone compares tfb to twenty one pilots. They're not even similar at all
Super white sounding guy talking over jangly guitars and drums.. Sounds pretty close
actually,now that you mention it there is some simulation,I'm a huge fan of both bands so idk but there's something.
You're right tfb is way better
I love top I have been a fan for 4 years, but tfb is a whole different genre. Top is more pop and tfb is more folk. The only similarities are how lyrical both groups are.
+Noah Lind They definitely don't sound the same but i think maybe they could be similar lyric wise but even that's a stretch

This is for the lions living in the wiry broke down frames of my friends’ bodies
When the floodwater comes, it ain’t gonna be clear, it’s gonna look like mud
But I will help you swim, I will help you swim, I’m gonna help you swim
This is for the snakes and the people they bite
For the friends I’ve made, for the sleepless nights
For the warning signs I’ve completely ignored
There’s an amount to take, reasons to take more
It’s no big surprise you turned out this way
When they closed their eyes and prayed you would change
And they cut your hair, and sent you away
You stopped by my house the night you escaped
With tears in my eyes, I begged you to stay
You said “Hey man, I love you, but no fucking way”
I’m sure that we could find something for you to do on stage
Maybe shake a tambourine, or when I sing, you sing harmonies
This is for the lake that me and my friends swim in
Naked and dumb on a drunken night
And it should've felt good, but I could hear the Jaws theme song
On repeat in the back of my mind
Make sure you kiss your knuckles before you punch me in the face
There are lessons to be learned
Consequences for all the stupid things I say
And it is no big surprise you turned out this way
The spark in your eyes, the look on your face, I will not be brave
I’m sure that we could find something for you to do on stage
Maybe shake a tambourine, or when I sing, you sing harmonies
I wanna contribute to the chaos
I don’t wanna watch and then complain
‘Cause I am through finding blame
That is a decision that I have made
She hopes I’m cursed forever
To sleep on a twin size mattress
In somebody’s attic or basement my whole life
Never graduating up in size to add another
And my nightmares will have nightmares every night
Oh, every night, every night
slint69 thank you so much :D
Merci !!!

This album came out a few months before I graduated high school and quickly became the soundtrack to my life at that time. So many amazing memories made to these amazing songs 💙
They are perfect. No other words can describe.
No, they're not. Which is makes them so much better. They're not that good at singing and playing instruments (with the exception of this song), but it seems like Brian knows how the lines are supposed to be sang with a certain emotion, so he does it regardless of his ability. It's the lyrics that give me the chills, and the way they express it makes it seem more helpless.
In other words, they're not perfect, but that's what makes them perfect.
ClydeMovieReviews He's right though. They play on their lack of ability to convey their meaning. Like the way he describes his love in Skeleton.

Taylor Craig Thanks for understanding what I was saying.
Effectator agree 100%
i just saw myself in the crowd in the video, that was awesome. i've seen these guys live more than once and they are amazing, and i actually started listening to them after i head them open for tenacious d last year. great work, can't wait to hear the new album!
It's my first time hearing this beautiful gem of a song! Subscribed!
I WANNA CONTRIBUTE TO THE CHAOS.
I dont wanna watch and then complain
+Antoinett Glasscock that isnt a decision i have made
+LushedxGaming u forgot "cuz i am through finding blame"
oops
+LushedxGaming That is* a decision I have made.
been 9 years and this song is still my favourite ever, even after 5 years. still holds up. something about it seems so relateable although ive never experienced the true meaning of the song.
I'M SO PROUD OF THEM

you guys killed the brand new show in cleveland october 20th 2016, thanks for being the only band that showed any heart that night.
I was there, and totally agree
I’m 13 now and have listened to them for around four years and I am SO grateful
With tears in my eyes I begged you to stay
Talon of the hawk will forever be my favorite album
this song makes me cry
jay (marijuana) I feel like I see you a lot
jay (marijuana) I love you because you listen to the front bottoms and your in the phandom, please be my friend.
Fear not, satan. Better times are coming.
I saw them live in Salt Lake City last night and I can honestly say it's the best concert I've ever been to. The vibes from the entire audience were so positive and the music was better than I could've hoped for: Even better live! TFB are so genuine and kind and appreciative of the success they have and it makes seeing them in person so much better. I can't wait to see them again on their next tour! Thanks for an amazing show, guys.
I finally found this great music video again! When fooling around on acoustic guitar recently I started playing the intro two note riff then have been trying to remember this band and song ever since.
discovered this song last year as a freshman in college and i will never forget it and how it made me feel.. great song
This song reminds so much of my cousin, it hurts. I love you AllyCat, life can hurt but it can be worth it, to make a person smile.
sorry cant talk right now, too busy crying to the frontbottoms
Renumber playing this in 6 grade on accident and man do i love this song now
I listen to this song for years and it still makes me cry every time.
i haven't jammed a good song like this in a long time. This band is starting to grow on me
playing this song on repeat, lost my best friend to addiction two days ago. This song is nearly ten years old but I feel like I've truly heard it for the first time.
i don't comment much but...this song. this song has SOMETHING. and whatever it is, i've never heard it anywhere else in my life. the line with the title, and "hey man i love you but no fucking way" are definitely highlights, but the part that gets me the most is just listening to him yell "I WANNA CONTRIBUTE TO THE CHAOS, I DON'T WANNA WATCH AND THEN COMPLAIN." because that line...it's like i just feel it all the way to the roots of my soul, you know? it's screaming out everything inside me that i can't say in real life, and in so few words. idk. this song is special and i had to say it to somebody. there's nothing quite like it, and i can't seem to fully burn myself out no matter how many times i listen.
The Front Bottoms have always had such a huuuuuuuge impact on mee. I really love the music and this song is just perfect.
Every part of this song is so good. I get chills everytime
"with tears in my eyes I begged you to stay. you said hey man I love you but no f way"
this part actually touched my heart
About a week ago, I had never heard of this band before. Out of the blue, my sister asked me to go to one of their upcoming shows. I wasn't familiar with the band, but I love live music so I said yes.
In the days leading up to the show, I started listening to their music. This song came on and I wasn't super into it for the first part. I'm much more into hard rock, metal, and pop punk so I was having a hard time getting into the strange, spoken lyrics and the soft backing guitar... that is, until the "hey man I love you but NO F****ING WAY" part... then I started paying attention. By the end of the song, I had been treated to one of the best musical crescendos I've ever heard.
I listened to it at least a dozen more times leading up to the show, along with a few of their other hits (Emotional, Peach, Father) and completely fell in love with the band
I've been to a little over a dozen concerts in my 17 years on this planet, both big and small. I've heard some of my all time favorite bands live and in person and have made hundreds of amazing memories, but screaming NEVER GRADUATING UP IN SIZE TO ADD ANOTHER in a small theater in downtown Syracuse with my sister and a couple thousand others is easily my best yet.
It's been 6 days since then and I can sing every word.
Love it!
my uncle committed suicide less than 3 weeks ago and this song had helped me so much. it describes perfectly about what i’m feeling and what he was feeling before he passed.
I’ve dealt with addiction for over 15 years and I feel this song.. was chasing that for years. The amount of ppl and gf’s I’ve lost to this shit makes me cry
the front bottoms encapsulated the vibe of growing up in suburban New Jersey. I listened to them all through high school and they just get the perfect vibes every time I miss home. Hope they're doing well
I was listening to this at night while taking a walk around my neighbourhood, It made me wanna cry a lot, this song is on a whole other level, it's amazing
Will nevet forget the night in vienna when we smoked some joints together and have some chats, will always love your band- cheers my friends!
It’s no big surprise you turned out this way makes me cry every time.
Your music still makes me cry
Every lyric is perfect I'm obsessed!
2:40 when he starts yelling i get shivers
My Dad loved this song almost as much as me. RIP Dad ❤️
I can't believe this was released seven years ago already. So much has changed but this song still gives me chills
Saw them live a couple days ago. As soon as this song started, I just lost it. I started crying because going to their concert was the first outing I'd had in months. It made me so happy. I'm glad this band exists.❤️
I love you guys. Seen you live a few times at different times in my life and that hour to hour and a half was an escape. I could never thank this band enough for dragging me through my darkest days. All love to whatever endeavors this band decides.
I’m late but the front bottoms have been stuck on repeat all week for me
Aeor Terps i absolutely love them. my sister showed them to me a couple of years ago and their concert was my first. ever since then i’ve had their songs on repeat.
oh. lol. I wish I could make a concert but I hopped on the bandwagon late and they never go by my area
this song feels so good when you hear it for the first time
I listen to this a lot during the really stressful parts of college, and now, even when I'm not stressed, I can't help but getting a bad feeling when listening.
9 years later, idk if u still use this account but it’d be interesting to see how life is now
@@AA-bs3iy I still struggle with depression occasionally, but I have a decent job, a beautiful girlfriend, some pets, and a nice place. Adult life is hard, especially in the US, but you do have to uncover happiness to make the most of your life. This song definitely brings back memories!
You blast this song over the bridge on the NJ parkway. You just do it, especially when you haven't been home in a minute. Windows down, summer time meeting back up with people from high school when this album came out. Love you FB
i don't know why but whenever i listen to he part at 0:54 it just reminds me of cassie from euphoria and that scene where her dad comes to take the silverware to go and buy yk
♡ Perfect. Just found them out from a friend and instantly fell in love. This is actual music. Not all the mainstream shit you hear on the radio
3:26 hits hard.
one of the most carefully crafted and meaningful songs in my life, i love it so so much
Been here listening to them almost ten years now. Gonna see them live for the third time tonight.
This band and particular this song has gotten me through some incredibly tough times in my life. Can’t wait to get my TFB tattoo. So happy I found this song on accident almost ten years ago. It really changed my life for the better.
Thank you so much Bloo for showing me this song. xD
KorKor Fosters home?
Ben Braunagel Search up FaZe Bloo he is a Call of Duty player and makes montages he make a montage called MW2 Montage and used their music
Bro Bloo is my neighbor lmao
+Leviana Rios no fucking way lol
COUNTxDANKULA 100% serious lmao I have the same classes as him.
my dad showed me this song-
thanks dad didn't know you were into this type of music..at all-
Omg 😂😂
It's funny how a simple song can bring so many emotions back, I fell in love with song as I was falling in love for the first time and let me say it's so much harder to listen to when that person isn't around anymore
TFB music videos always make me feel nostalgic for a life I never had.
this song is so nostalgic for some reason. it makes me think of memories i didn't know i had
i love this song, its beautiful.
when you realize your in a relationship and its just a break up in the making for the whole time you dated. and you have nothing to do but listen to songs that move you in a way to understand why....
We'll shit now I have another band to be obsessed with. These guys are bloody amazing
+Sarah Little we'll shit.. will we?
+PeepsILoveEllie 👍
+Sarah Little I JUST STARTED LISTENING AND THEYRE SO GOOD
