Lyrics:
Here in this diary,
I write you visions of my summer.
It was the best I ever had.
There were choruses and sing-alongs,
And that unspoken feeling of knowing
Right now is all that matters
All the nights we stayed up talking
and listening to 80's songs
If your listening to The Ataris in 2024 you're probably old enough to remember when MTV played music videos 🔥
This song used to come on at night when I was 13 😢
yes i am my friend, yes i am!
nope, 17 going to like my 3rd punk show tmrw
TRL!!!
Yup lol
44, and I can't even make it through the first verse without breaking into tears.
To all you young punks, appreciate the time you have while you have it.
At the age of 39, this song brings a tear to my eye. I miss days like this , and I still haven't got it right!
It’s never too late.
Dont give up bro. That is what the SB music scene was all about. 🤘 get up and keep rocking. 🤘
I 2nd what Amber said, and I am 41 too :))
Cheer up and be happy :))
I'm 38. I am just like you never got it right... The only memories I like to think of were the best old days at high school...
Best times brah.. nowadays it's just woke trash everywhere
"Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up" is 100% accurate.
@John Dempesy I really needed to hear that tonight and this song and that line is BANG-ON!
Actually high school sucks. You find out the hard way the hypocrisies and worthlessness of authority.
I Agree. I never felt happy/pleasure ONCE till now when i'm 28
I we'll always have this line resonate with me for the rest of my life. It's 100% accurate like John Dempesy said. Lol it's funny how you look back at life simple words such as these can stay with you forever
depends, my childhood was horrible
I first heard the lines "Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up" 15 years ago. Never really knew how true it was until it happened.
I still hope to eventually get it right.
Man I think it's about perspective. My life is so much better now than it was when this song dropped. Life is what you make of it.
This was a nostalgia song for me when I first heard it. I'm about to turn 40. Our generation lived and did the stuff they wrote about. :-)
Yup... 48 here and I swear I could have written this song as I did everything he talks about!
15 years old, wish I could have experienced it :(
34 this coming year and this was mine and my friends anthem in early 2000's... seriously youre right man we lived what he sings about
Im 38...and i fell in love with this song when it came out...i only Wish i did half the stuff they sung here...
Lol
Me2 bud
I was in my 20's when this came out. I am now 46 and I still get the same feeling. When will I grow up? I think I missed the bus or didn't get the memo. All the kids I went to school with are teachers, cops, doctors, or work in the courtroom.
This song will never stop being relevant, because even as a grown up, you'll never stop growing up, and you can always still make now the best days of your life.
amen
This song is absolutely timeless and rings true for every person in every generation. Time is fleeting. Spread love.
broke as can be and in college with only 300 dollars to our names, I woke up one morning and decided to take my ex and I to a remote place in Nebraska just to see the Milky Way how it was meant to be seen, we drove about 2,000 miles non stop(both ways).. funny story, we didn't make it there before morning.. but what I remember the most is how close we were during that time.. what's even more funny is that she's a total stranger now.. it's crazy what love does to you.. I'm dead inside now, but at least I now know how it feels to be alive.. nothing lasts forever, so follow your heart and never skip the chances to do the things you may never get to do again.. one day your entire life will consist of only memories.. the risks you take are the ones that you'll remember, no matter the outcome
Thank you for letting me read this, I've just recovered from the exact same thing. Talking everyday to not even knowing who she is anymore. Crazy.
TripedalTroductions ...wow it's really is something how love make u feel especially in that moment ....GOD Bless U ...
.
TripedalTroductions sounds like a great adventure!!!
ha that's cool I know how beautiful the night sky is in the middle of Nebraska I only have to drive 2miles to get to a remote part of Nebraska
AMEN!
I was 29 when this came out in 2003 but it was one of my faves then and still is to this day. I'm 46 now and have a 17 year old daughter and I always think about how time flies. Where did it go? How did I become an old man? lol
Man, you won the lottery. You're alive and got a daughter!
when this song come out i had 15 years old. now i have 32 and i still listening this song . i agree with u the time really flies .
For real man, life goes so quickly
It happens on a gradient.
Gradually, for example 365 days in a year, a year can go pretty fast and then it’s became numerous years in what feels like just a couple years.
I was 17 when this song came out. I'm now 37. Twenty years on, when that chorus kicks in it STILL hits me the exact same way.
I listened to this song in year end of 2005 , i was 17 back then , and now i'm now 33. All those sweet memories and heartbreaks i can think of still brings me back here.
It’s hard to believe how many emotions flood through you when you are considered grown up when that chorus hits
so true!
It’s crazy how the best and worst memories can flood in with just a simple melody from the past! ❤
I'm 31, I'm gonna cry.
X2
Me too
I'm 47...same.
34... and yes
29 , flashback moment happened
This song reminds me of senior year. Class of 2002. Besides having my son, that was the greatest time of my life. I've partied all the way from Cancun to Afghanistan. Nothing beats senior year. Best days of my life.
This song, and entire album, has gotten me through some of the toughest times of my life.
I first heard this song from my favourite teacher. He was someone who believed in me way before I started believing in myself. RIP Mr. Gerritson. I miss him every day
Over 10 years later and the Ataris still kicks ass. Good music NEVER expires! Love and miss this kind of music.
Yes ur right good music seems to slip here n there sometimes to miss it at times
Yes ur right good music seems to slip here n there sometimes to miss it at times
Completely true ;)
There are still tons of current pop-punk bands lol
agreed!
Just saw The Ataris Saturday in my hometown Crescent City, CA and it was a wonderful trip down memory lane. Kris still sounds amazing and i love how his story telling between songs just makes the show so much better. This song will always be a tribute to simpler times and will always remain a classic.
I can't believe that I am still listening to this song. Reminds me about my high school time. Now I am ready to get married and still going to listen to this amazing song.
This entire album is one of my favourite and most listened to in my entire life, I'm 23 now and been listening to it ever since it came out. Can't fault a single song on the album!
gonna go see these guys on the 27th i just turned 18 love this band
Agreed. the album is perfect
Nobody likes you when you're 23
I loved the So Long Astoria album, I listened to it on a daily basis when it came out. Those were the best days of my life, my teens... I'm 30 now WTF... time flew!
+lefreakful I'm 32 years old and can say the same thing. I still feel like I'm in my early 20's!
Makes you wonder if it will everb be that good again
So did I. Rock on.
I'm with you. It's flown by so fast.
Yep! Listened to this in repeat for ages. 27 now!
This song will always remind me of when my son graduated from high school, 2002. These guys were one of his favorite bands. They bring lots of emotion on several different levels.
This was THE defining song of my teens.. it brings me such a rush of nostalgia, along with vivid memories of friends I have long since lost contact with... Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up. They were speaking truth there.
I remember listening to this when I was in the 7th or 8th grade, walking to the pool at the lodge of my neighborhood with my three best friends. Arm in arm, we sang this out loud to one another. I'm 22 years old now, and this song just reminds me of my early teenage years and how incredibly naive and childish I was. I really wish I could make a time-machine and go back because it's true: being grown-up isn't half as fun as growing up.
How's being 31?
@@mattmcsherry761 I'm glad to be alive. Never thought I would make it here. Crazy to think about, really. My baby is 15 months now. How does time fly?
Be safe, friend. Hope your holiday season is wonderful and filled with prosperity, good health, lots of love and happiness.
@@sizeofbullets Much love! Didn't think I'd hear back from a commenter from 9 years ago. Happy Holidays to you, your baby, and the rest of your family. Stay safe in these worrisome times. Cheers!
@@mattmcsherry761 You are the sweetest! Thank you! Wishing you the same! Stay healthy and safe! 🙏🏼🤗♥️
Reminiscing on my teen years, your comment hit home.
Flooding with emotion and nostalgia. Life is different now. Still treating me well
Much love ❤
大人になることは、大人になるまでの半分も楽しくない
マジで天才だろこの人
Here in this diary I write you visions of my summer
It was the best I ever had
There were choruses and sing alongs
And that unspoken feeling of knowing
That right now is all that matters
All the nights we stayed up talking
Listening to 80's songs
And quoting lines from all those movies that we love
It still brings a smile to my face
I guess when it comes down to it
Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up
These are the best days of our lives
The only thing that matters is just following your heart
And eventually you'll finally get it right
Breaking into hotel swimming pools
And wreaking havoc on our world
Hanging out at truck stops
Just to pass the time
The blacktop singing me to sleep
Lighting fireworks in parking lots
Illuminate the blackest nights
Cherry cokes under this moonlit summer sky
2015 Riverside, it's time to say goodbye
Get on the bus, it's time to go
Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up
These are the best days of our lives
The only thing that matters is just following your heart
And eventually you'll finally get it right
(Get it right)
Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up
These are the best days of our lives
The only thing that matters is just following your heart
And eventually you'll finally get it right
I'm from Brazil and I found this band about 2 or 3 years ago, but their music makes me feel like I know them my whole life. I just love to listen to this album, it's a masterpiece
Never stop growing up. You grow once, then you're grown forever. Never stop learning, never stop going, never accept that this is how far you go and your best days are behind you.
One of my best friends introduced me to The Ataris 19 years ago. I'm currently writing his Eulogy as I'm listening to this. This song fits him so much. Semper Fidelis, brother.
This will always be a summer time anthem, for sure. One of the best albums from the decade.
I'm 30 now and this hit me with some overwhelming nostalgia, I love it. ♥😭
37 now and he was right. Back then the only thing that mattered was following my my heart don’t know if I got it right or not but I do know now what truly matters. Hold this song very close to my heart. Love you guys. This song just came on PlutoTv
GOD I STILL LOVE THIS DAMN SONG! MUSIC WILL NEVER BE THE SAME :(
Heres the thing everybody, the lyrics still mean the same even in our advanced age....I'm 37 for example, and I'm still growing up. I'll look back at 37 when I'm 50 and think how much more fun/easy it was. Live now, nostalgia will tell you these were the best times in good time.
A part of me wants to cry every time I hear this song.
here here, this might cheer you up Sipeo - I'm Dead!
I used to listen to this when I was 18 applying for college now I'm just a 26 working class adult! I just can't fight the tears
this was our song graduating from high school back in 2005 and still listening and playing it on my guitar on this day.
Whose still listening this 2019? I really love this song.😊
youre not alone
Still a solid song can’t help liking songs of my up bringing vs modern crap
Still here... waiting on that eventually...
Me, Peru!
Here in 2020 and loving it. Grown up? Nah.
I saw these guys live one of the most underrated bands out
I was 16 when this song was released and thought at the time "I've got years to go before I turn 30." In that time between then and now I've got blasted out of my mind at festivals and gigs, summer drinking outdoors with my mates, winter drinking in pubs with my mates and all sorts of other hijinks. Now I'm 34 with a 3 year old daughter. Life has slowed down a bit compared with the last 15 years or so and I still miss those days but at least I feel like I did it right. A lot of really good memories to look back on.
I discovered this album ten years after its release. And it has become my favorite pop-punk album of all time.
same here :)
sometimes i just have the feeling i was born 10 to 15 years too late :/
Me too! Sometimes I wish I could go back just to see all those great bands playing
I listened to the Ataris and wished high school years would be over. Now in my 30's I listen back and though I still don't wish to be back in high school, I thank this song for getting me through!
just saw them last night, and they are still rockin hard
One of my favorite bands growing up, saw them live in 2004, what a experience.
Years fly so fast... I'm old and these days were the best of my life :') miss them a lot! I grew up.
Evany Soteldo same thing :)
We all do...but we still have the best memories of summer in our days😊
Saaaaaameeeee :(
The only thing that matters is following your heart...and eventually you'll get it right! How I love this song on so many levels.
he does it cause he loves it man not clinging to fame or anything like that also it doesn't matter about how many people its for its music ... met him twice real nice guy ...
久々に聴いた。泣いた。
Being grown up is hard, still trying to get it right and I'm in my 30's.
This album was on repeat in my cd changer.
Grace Canares +1 i understand a year away. 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Same. Maybe, just maybe this is the year I'll get my shit together. Hopefully to an early 2000's soundtrack
I agree. I'm 30 and everytime I listen to some nostalgic 2000's song I think about the past and I feel bad for my choices and I just want to go back in the time and make everything different in my life.
I’m in my mid 30s now as well and still trying to get it right. I know your comment was made 5 years ago, but I truly hope that you found your way, Grace.
Song makes me sad 8[ I miss ages 16-21. Them some wild times right there, so enjoy em they only come round once!
+Kacy Chicoine Lol I turn 20 in a week, this song fucking destroyed me. The thought of growing up blows. Still a hard concept to grasp...
Haha don't fret, growing up is actually pretty great 8] Just find a good partner, dont fry your brain with drugs and alcohol, and get into a job that you are interested in. Everything works out if you stay straight and stick to your passions. This song focuses on the nostalgia of getting old, which can be a bummer to think about if youre in a rough patch as an adult. K im done, wow...
Kacy Chicoine im 30 next year and i still love this band. Growing up sadly gets to everyone....but you can still go to gigs and festivals and still feel young (:
20 years passed so quick and I still listen to this song. :')
was 12 years old when i first this song. am now 27 and it never gets old. thank you ataris!
Being grown up isnt half as fun as growing up these are the best days of our liiivesss!!
+DC CHAM Being 30 I still treat my days as if I were growing up. Wisest decision in my life.
+DC CHAM Being grown up isnt half as fun as growing up.. I got this tattooed on my chest :D
I always thought the lyrics were being grown isn't half as fun as growing up! lol
Kris Roe, you made my high school existence suck less! You're right, being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up! Rock on!
The thing I like about The Ataris, especially So Long Astoria, is that it seems to really sink into peoples lives. Yes of course mine, but every time I scroll down on comments for videos from the ataris, is that people always say "so many memories with this song," or "I love growing up, this song is my life." I love seeing that! So knowing that when I think of this song 20 years from now, I'm going to have all you guys to salute to memories with! Long live The Ataris and long live our memories!
The whole album make you wanna cry
My encounter began in a shop's listening corner, where I put on headphones and hit play on track three. The sensation that ran through my entire body was unforgettable. I was compelled to purchase the CD and could hardly contain my excitement, cracking open the packaging on the train and loading it into my CD walkman, disregarding the stares of those around me. I went on to scour the racks for more albums, eventually buying two copies of the same CD due to overuse.
この曲に会えてよかった。
saw them live last night for the first time. still just as good and brought back so many memories
This song "still brings a smile to my face" 🎶✨
Damn this is a sad song..reminds me of my friends and my mom...so many memories in this song! Im from the Philippines and we also did almost everything he said now on our mid 30's...I lost my mom...my friends have there own family here and abroad...playing this song brings back all those good times!
same from ph
Blue Skies Broken Hearts changed my life. Love this band :) Early aughts were an amazing time!
Enquanto muitos sofrem, eu AMO essa música porque me traz energia oposta! De nostalgia como a música mesmo diz... As memórias do passado que eu tenho TODAS são incríveis e as mais especiais. A vida de adulto não é a coisa mais linda, mas ela também é especial... Mas sim, ahhh nada como a infância/adolescência! 🫶🌹😍
Nossaaaa.... arrebentou ❤❤❤❤❤
each age has its ups and downs. this is still one of my fave bands. but lately i change lyrics to, "being grown up, it is just as fun as growing up- these are the only days of our lives."
This song never fails to take me back to 2003 and remember all the great times I had with my friends. This song really does describe my teenage years. Thank you so much for this Ataris.
Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up
These are the best days of our lives
The only thing that matters is just following your heart
And eventually you'll finally get it right....
2022 and im still loving this song, that mean's an excelent moment in my life
Im 35 this song makes me remember good ol high school days. No songs from today can compare songs around 2000s Sad in a good way.
Kris Roe.... I remember when we were in class back in 7 grade. You always said u would make it. You drumming on the desktop. Those were the days.....!!! 😊
Awesome memories !!
So you and kris were classmate back then?
@@bananaman6798 funny story. I was working at a restaurant in my hometown and then someone started talking about The Ataris and the waiter that was there goes "oh yeah we know him". I'm like "we". He goes "Yeah he's the bartender". I'm like "no way". Then realized holy shit! Its John the bassist lol he's a friend of mine now. I was working there for months and didn't realize it lol
I'm 35, I heard this song for the first time in years a few months ago and just stopped what I was doing and had an emotional moment. I had a really weird, unconventional, abusive childhood, and music was one of my only outlets. I used to live in gross motels when I was in high school (mom made really bad decisions), and I have vivid memories of literally hopping the fence to the pool with my cousins at 1am. That southern California teenage era was both the worst and best time of my life. Now I'm married and live in rural Minnesota and haven't seen a motel since I went back to LA to clean out my old storage unit in 2020.
the whole album is a materpiece, everytime i listen to it, i get so melancolic and happy at the same time :')
The Ataris Rocking Out In Converse Sneakers
I got this album in a random care package when I was in the war when I was in my teens. It made feel like I was a kid and being back home. Alpha Co 1-125! 2008!
Being 35 now…this song hits in the feels for sure…good times I’m glad I grew up with the music that I did
Minha música preferida. 🇧🇷
Holy crap I have fond memories of listening to these guys while hanging with friends down in Lake Havasu, AZ while on spring break in '03. We would lay on the blacktop in the neighborhoods while cranking up this song and looking up at the stars at 2 in the morning. Haha now I'm 26, happily married, and have two kids. It's amazing how fast life goes. I think the problem is that all of us are so eager to look for what is beyond the meadows rather than running towards the meadows to just have fun.
How's life for you now at 34/35?
This is probably the best coming of age song I've heard it makes me think of the hard spots in life ive been going through and helps alot!!!!
ever gotten blackout drunk and woke up in a tijuana jail when you started out the night in kansas
Another famous artist from Indiana expressed the same sentiment with the lyrics, “Life goes on long after the thrill of living is gone” (John Mellencamp)
Who's listening to this in Summer of 2021? Shout out to my older sister Chelsea for showing me these songs!! Time flies.
29, remember seeing these guys 10 years in bakersfield, i wish they'd just put more music out
Still love this song
I saw this band play an acoustic set when I was like 15. Was surreal & layed back, I won't ever forget it.
I met Kris Roe tonight, he's a really humble dude!
where at? I met him back in 2009 in Victorville, CA
This song (and album) always brings me back to the summer of 2003, dating "the one that got away" and all the crazy shit my friends and I got away with. That summer really was the best I'd ever had.
"Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing old, these are the best days of our lives."
We had corny songs on our high school class-song ballot (almost 7 years ago!) and I loved this song so I got my group of friends to make fliers and spread the word to petition this song on the ballot. It worked and the song of course won. We were all tired of that Green Day graduation song! This song was perfect and still brings back so many memories when I hear it.
The only thing that matters is just following your heart and eventually you'll finally get it right. Took 19 whole years... But I did it. Thanx Atari's!!!
The Perfect Score brought me here!! Love the vibe behind this song!!
Underrated song 😢 this is a master piece
the childhood album..miss this sound
I’m 34 and I was at a dead end job got married had 2 children whose now 2 and 4. I got an opportunity to work in another country with a massive increase in salary but I had to leave my little family. I took it and now I’m homesick everyday. This song hits different when the right moment comes damn..
the best thing about the early naughties music was the pop punk bands,.
They're telling everything in my mind. I always living in my memories. Never forget.
Why can't modern Alternative/pop-punk still sound like this?
Some bands are gettin to this kind of sound.
search Sipeo - I'm Dead!
Was 13 when this came out, God I wanna go back so bad.
being grown up is as fun as growing up because i listened to these kind of music back then.
"The only thing that matters is just following your heart and eventually you'll get it right"
That line getting me through some shit rn
good old times uggh my heart
Jesus that´s so sad!! But, yes, the ataris has a special place in my heard! teenage years are the best !
