[Chorus:]
For the life of me I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
For the life of me I cannot believe we'd ever die for these sins
We were merely freshmen

In the 90's we couldnt wait to grow up... now we are older and in our 30's and 40's we just want those times back.
Right, so simple back then
Yep
When I was young I knew everything.
I had a sand box when this came out. Today I have a mortgage.
You literally copied the last comment lol
Born in 85. This song brings me back to all the great times in the 90s. The last generation of kids who got to connect as kids without the distraction of social media.
Do you consider yourself old yet? I was also born in 85 and sometimes I forget I’m not 27 anymore
@@xicaclothing6637 same.
Right there with you. Class of 03. We were the 90’s kids through and through.
@@lewisr993class of 05 myself and This song defines what it was like in the 90s. To a ery level.
I was also born in 85 😂and so true.
At 52, this brings back a flood of memories. Call your mom, tell you dad you appreciate him. Forgive your kids for their mistakes and always keep the door open to them. When the days are gone, you don’t get them back. Same with people. When they are gone… only the memories remain. I don’t want to go back now. Not too much further to go so I have a lot to look forward to! Can’t wait to discover the answers to every question.
Love yourself more. Do more. Be happy just because. It’s all worth it.
“Love yourself more”
Very well put. I’ll be 54 soon and the nostalgia moments that sneak up on me, seem to happen more often and hit more powerfully…

Splendidamente messo
Makes me want to cry every time I think back to being a kid in the 90's. It was amazing. Now I'm 35 and life sucks.
Life today isn't great you are correct.
Head up my guy, 20 years from now you’ll miss these day. Life is like that. Appreciate today 🙏🏼💪🏼🙏🏼
I’m 37, and I feel exactly the same way 😔
31 and don't want this life anymore
@@c.a.t.z. change it. you can do it. dont give up. usually when people say they dont want this life anymore, its not life itself but the life they are in. im sure there are ways for you to change things for a better life. you can do it. i have faith.

You're in them right now
You're in them now...
wow never heard that or him but fkn tru grad 92
Everything Sucks now.
Who’s here in 2024 still listening? 😊❤
55 yrs old. Listening to one of my favorite songs.
Hearing this song takes me back to highschool. It feels so close but yet so far away.
R.I.P to all the friends we've lost over the years. I never could have imagined how the unfolding
of these years would turn out. I wouldn't say it's a surprise but more of a slap.
In the end love doesn't last forever, fairytales only exist in the realm of imagination, friends are momentary, &
life doesn't owe us anything. It's just a ride and were watching the scenery.
I Was a Freshman in 1973…. No Matter Your Age… this Song ❤️ … Crosses Generations
likewise . it does
You got that SO right, dude!! 😎❤🤘
I was a freshman in '82 .. and yep!!
So true
You hit the nail right on the spot..❤
This song came out when I was just a freshman at life. Damn, it goes by fast. Live it up young one’s. It will fly by. You’ll look back at 40 and wonder where 20 years went. I still feel like a kid, but I’m not. Peace & love to you all. 💛
You're sooo right!
This song was my graduating class song. 2003 almost 20 years oh how they go by like a blink of the eye.
It's cute how you think kids will see this advice:)
The truth is.. you never stop feeling like a kid. You just find a job you can hide it at and a partner you can be a kid with.
Damn
My niece asked me if I felt bad when I turned 41 in December. I said, "No, honey, I feel great. I wouldn't go back a change a thing." I can't imagine growing up in the world we live in now. I'm so blessed I got to experience my formative years without to much internet, social media addiction and social turmoil.
Agree 1,000%
Mmmm, I agree that that there's too much internet and social media, but I feel like if you grew up in Eastern Europe in the 90s, you wouldn't be complaining about social turmoil nowadays. Unless, of course, you're being hyperbolic and referring to cancel culture as "social turmoil"
Boss energy
@@jaredhicks5655 considering the entirety of 2020, "social turmoil" is putting it lightly
Back in the pre social media hellscape "you had to be there" or "you missed it" was the most crushing statement you could hear going back to school on a Monday morning. Now kids DONT live in the moment because they are too busy either hash tagging, tweeting or posting what they are doing rather than having fun!
I'm 35 and still SCREAM this song while driving alone!!!! I miss the good days of my teens and early 20s. The future scares me. This song brings me so many emotions but in the most amazing way!!!
Likewise ❤
I know exactly how you feel
same, but i'm, over 50
35? So when this came out you were 9-13??
GOD GOT YOR LIFE PLAN AN FUTURE REST THAT HE CANT FAIL US 🙏🙌💯
I am an 80s baby. This song reminds me of when I was 16 yrs old and pregnant. He ran and I decided to step up and keep my son. He's the best thing that has ever happened to me.
Has he ever asked about his son?
Not that he deserves to know
Hero 🫶
Brave choice..happy U kept him instead of the alternative the woke communists keep pushing.
Me too❤ except I was 17 and gam him at 18
My mom used to say "one day you'll wake up and 20 years have gone by." I understand now what she meant. The nostalgia hits hard for the 90's with this one.
Cameron Thompson yea this song was a eye opener for me when i hit 31, like damn! Where did the time go?
what are you talking about that wasn't 20 years ago..... oh
isthislife2 yup 31 I'm listening to this song in a cold winters night, and man it's painful.
I know the feeling I was in such a hurry to grow up never stopped to enjoy my childhood either
The day's are long... But the year's are SHORT brother!
Born in 76 and enjoyed this band at Michigan State during my college years. Irreplaceable memories in my heart for eternity! ❤❤❤
Best friend wrote these lyrics in our freshman yearbook, sadly she passed away the next year from a cardiac episode during crew practice. I'll never forget that day. Over 20 years later. RIP Danica Canfield.
My condolences.
Here is to Danica Canfield. I believe those we've lost want to be remembered and know when we are acknowledging them.
Rest in peace 💙
🙏🙏
To Danica.
Sitting here at work, 40 years old. reminiscing about my teens and early 20's. I personally think coming of age in the 90's was an experience unlike any other decade, and Im so glad i had the chance to live in a time when you could just disconnect and truly relax. 80's babies RULE!!!!!
I felt like it was conservative 60s 70s with more clothes better hygiene lol
87' wouldn't have it any other way
@@mowglifromthejungle5614 86' here and I've always thought about the best time to be born. Ritrous brothers has me question my bias opinion, people back in your father, grandfather days had some serious game going on and way more style.
I was also born in 1986! This song is making me feel super nostalgic!
40 as well bro! These songs were everything and now these kids these days love it too!
It's amazing how a song can just take you back to a certain time and place.
Having his Kid brother in this is special
I know this is always on my feed & just keep clicking on it. Got so invested in my thoughts of lifeing I almost forgot I met them. This song kinda reminds me of Anne Frank. :/ if ppl really knew how I thought. Like I'm not trying to channel my inner Brian Vander ark. Bc I'm not him. Wever his name. I remember hearing he used to be in the military tho. For them to be out in my ms yrs, they kinda do seem like they'd be up there, age wise
Ain't it funny how a melody can bring back a memory?
I would give anything to do it over againg
It's crazy almost every song I remember hearing it for the first time. It's like a smell that brings you back
“For the life of me, I can not remember what made us think we were wise…..” this song is even more meaningful and telling now that I am in my 40s. TIMELESS
10000% I feel this so much it hurts.
Just wait till you're in your 60s.
I was a dumbass. Definitely paying for my sins
That music...
That voice...
Those memories...
Got emotional...
Love this song then and now...
🤎❤️🤍❤️🤎
If you did not live in the 90's you just don't know......it was a time with JUST ENOUGH technology---but not to much . There was a vibe, and people were more social and compassionate. Every weekend---gathering at a friend's apartment and meeting new people around a bottle of wine and maybe smoking a little in a small college town. Seeing your future wife for the first time and talking about music and laughing with everyone. It makes me tear up----it was such a special time in history.....before people were obsessed with social media. Of course we had the internet, but NO ONE wanted to be stuck in front of a computer on Friday night. It is bittersweet to go back there in my mind----feels like if I stay to long I might cry.....
Perfection on the mental rendition of what the 90’s will forever be remembered as. Bravo sir
Absolutely! I gotta add the 80's as well!
I always thought that the 90's essentially ended on 9/11. The vibe afterwards just changed.
Lmao coming from guy born in 1999
I couldn't of said it better myself. There was just something about the 90's and when I think back on it, it was such a great time and I miss it a ton! You are right though. Just enough technology. People where more open and friendly and not so passive aggressive hiding behind there screens. When you go to an event or a concert now a days all you see is everyone's face in their phones. Back in the day everyone was looking at the stage. Not worried about documenting every little thing. It makes me sick that these people don't realize that life is passing them by because they are never in the moment. They are more worried about FOMO, Documenting and where everyone else is. Someone needs to make a time machine and then make it never go over 2000. :)
The 90's were an absolutely amazing decade. I had a blast in the 90's, oh what a time to be alive and oh how short this life is.
❤
FACTS 🎯
Amen brother
So was that girl I ball-banged back then. She was very short, too. Good times, good times.
@@sarahubbert3978You are absolutely beautiful!
Im 43, missing those days.. listening to good music with good friends.. good memories... Thank you Mom for bringing me to this world last 1980, i had the chance to encounter and listen to these timeless music. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY....
Hearing this song again takes me back to when money didn’t matter, every day was spent with friends and the future looked so bright and 21 seemed so far away.. now at 37.. my teenage years feel farther than my debts and death
To all those reading this. I hope you are doing great. Everything that has ever happened in your life has led you to this moment. You made it.
That's a nice thing to say thank u
Thanks much. I really needed that saying tonight ... had a rough days.
🙏🏻
So true. I remember listening to this back then thinking life was over. What you said couldn’t be more true
Well said.
I was a kid in the 70s, teen in the 80s, college in the 90s. I thought it was only going to get better after the 90s. Boy, was I wrong. 90s was the last great decade.
you dont like dee jays? boybands?
Thanks Obama 😞
Seriously, it peaked around 98-2000. 21 years later things get worse every year as a whole for society.
Greed and commercialism destroyed this country, and Republicans let corporations and the top 10% ruin everything, creating worse planet of pollution and income inequality, gerrymandering picking their voters, instead of voters picking their politicians. Lie, cheat steal elections, Now they're destroying the US in the next few years and will create an autocracy if they aren't stopped. Need the voting Rights bill now.
I was raised by my grandparents the greatest generation that lived through the depression and fought through WW2, went to Catholic school & boy scouts, they taught me what was right and wrong and gave me sound morales, they'd be shocked to see what has become now.
@@mwara2444 True comment. I agree and wish my grandparents raised me too.
September 1971. She behaved badly. I said something terrible. Over the years, we tried many times to repair the relationship. But, we had both been hurt too profoundly. Over nothing. Just a double misunderstanding. Humpty Dumpty could not be put back together. 50+ years later the pain is still acute, active, alive. The memory of physical pain fades. Memories of emotional pain don't. Unbelievable how things which happen to us when we are young can affect all the rest of our lives. We were only children.
I'm pushing 40 and this song came back into my life. I've learned that life is a mad scramble and nothing like I thought it would be.. I miss those years
Same here. I'll be 40 in a month or so and nothing was better than the 90s.
Life seemed so much different then. Like I was actually living and enjoying life.
Dude seriously. We put so much work in and got nothing out of it
Man, the 90s, nothing eles like it. Frick Today's time.
XO
To grow up in the 90s was a fucking honor to look back on and think that was "our" time/music. Timeless song.
Hale Satin
Was a great time to live. Nowadays suscks.
I grew up in the seventies but the verve pipe rocks
Hell yea it was this song just like so many more they just don’t make music like it anymore
00’s started the tone of rock to party rock. I was born in 92. Sucks knowing I’m a true millennial when I feel I would’ve enjoyed my formative years more if I was born maybe in 86-88. I always gravitate to people older than me. I always enjoyed sharing thoughts deeper than “did you see that meme?”. When I graduated high school in 2011 I had 3 friends from school the rest of my friends were in their late 20’s and early 30’s. We enjoyed listening to music, working out, camping, fighting (boxing and mma). And everything happened for a reason. Now the only reason anything seems to happen is for likes and shares.
Since my wife passed, I continue to come back to this song over and over again.
Jerry Atkin Did you meet in High School/College?
try with ben folds five - brick and under the bridge by all saints. this songs are my favorite pairs.
also, sorry for your loss.. take care man :)
Sorry for your loss man
Sorry for your loss dude
Damn bro... sorry for your loss
Born in 80.. anyone else want to just go back? Dm me if you are like minded. These kind of friends are few and far between. Long live the 80s and early 90's.
Do you miss knowing your friends so well you could feel their presence when they came in a room. I’m sure it was just their perfume or sound of their walk but we knew each other that well.
Yes ❤❤❤❤the good ole days
I was born in '77 and I would give everything I have right now to go back to the 90's
God I wish
I miss the 90s
I'll be listening to this song for the next 40 years. Absolutely beautiful
There was a decade, sandwiched between the end of the cold war and the start of the post 9/11 world. A decade of great music, hope for the future, and genuine human connections. We saw the birth of some amazing new technology, but it didn't control us yet. It wasn't perfect, but it was damn near close. Ladies and gentlemen that decade was the 90's.
So true 💜
Poetic justice can't even begin to describe this comment
Chris day I was born in 1983. The 90's were going on during the most important parts of my life and I'm so glad I had the opportunity to live in that decade. Unless you lived through them, you really cannot begin to imagine.
I was born in 1993 so growing up in the 90s and 2000s was amazing
Born 1988.... 90s were my formative years...
Born in 80; had the best seats in the 90s. These records are like tiny time machines that can shake the cement off of you and bring you straight back just for a few moments. you can still feel the vibe in the air on some days when you listen to good music like this. You find the energy in the area around you forgot about and it nourishes you.
Props to those times and the old days
Same. Makes me want to lie on the floor and soak it in for just a few minutes again.
Well said.
@@stevenbruce5702 thanks ♡
1980 here too. And you are 💯% right!!!!!
Interesting. I was born in 90, and was always given the impression that the 80s were the peak decade. Are you saying the 90s were better?
I'm in my 40's now, thank goodness for the songs in 90's era. I can have a time going back on memories when I was still a kid listening to this. and this is magic... (inhales) Thank you Lord
My dad told me the day I turned 21 years old. Enjoy those 20s because life goes by so fast. If only he was alive to tell him how much I really needed him and he was so right.
The 1990's was the absolute pinnacle of hope, culture, and actual human connection across all platforms. It was perfect.
You still go to the Castle in Ybor?
He brought us the Blitz attack.
Yes and no. The cultural rot was unmistakeably present in the 90's and in 90's music, it just didn't have the upperhand yet. Something I notice about music is that the further in the past I look/listen, there seems to have been a stronger sense of responsibility, obligation or both to translate negative emotion into positive energy before sharing it with the world. Even songs about heartbreak, cheating, betrayal and death tend to have an ultimately positive spin to them, whether it's a feeling of hope, recovery or downright bouncy. Who's Bed by Shania Twain is one example of it. There's not a hint of resentment in a song about cheating and betrayal. I don't find that anymore. Even in the 00's I find a stark contrast to the 90's in something like Gives You Hell by All-American Rejects. It's upbeat but ultimately resentful and negative.
"Pinacleof hope." No lies. It's surreal to think of it now.
One of the greatest songs of the 90s. Timeless and perfect.
This song makes me wish it was the 90’s again. Man, life was so simple.
I miss the 90's
Then you don't know what he is singing about. No one would want to go back and relive the decisions and the pain afterward.
@@kristenbaxter5887 Same
Yeah, screw the Internet and most of this near worthless shit from it.
The world is literally disintegrating in 2021
This was a song that I played repeatedly when it came out….back when CDs were the new way to collect and play music. I mostly played this while driving to nowhere ❤
Who still bangs out to this track 2024 ❤️
We don’t search for old songs…
we search for old memories.
I don’t listen to songs like this to mark the end of eras, but to be motivated to begin others. Culture is stagnant now, but that can change
❤
i like that.
Everyday, ❤️
Great i like it.
Man, on a 90's early 00's binge and i miss these days!! My mom was right, time flies by, enjoy it while it lasts.
Amen bro!
🤓 the moment is all you truly have
🦨💨
90's were the best of times!! Great era!!
the past is a postcard we didn’t know we sent ourselves. cherish it but don’t regret anything, we’re all meandering and doing the best we can. face today the way you’d want that next postcard to turn out. love this song
My parents wouldn't let me listen to popular music at home (other than country) and I remember hearing this song on the radio when I bought my first car in 2003. At the time I had just gotten a full ride to college and life was great so this song didn't mean much to me. I thought that I knew everything and that I would never have to pay for my mistakes.
I would lose the scholarship during my freshman year of college and I would marry my first husband at 19. I thought that I was right when I stormed out of my parent's house to elope with my ex. I paid a big price for my mistakes back then. I got my life straight and I'm starting my Ph.D. in September. Nearly 20 years later this song still hits the feels in me.
the guilt a suicide leaves behind deserved or not is life shattering for many powerful song
Resilient. Strength. Pride. Congratulations. 🙌🏻💚💪🏻
I always say the kids that are sheltered in jrhigh and high school are the ones who lose it when they go away to college because they have a hard time handling all the new freedoms. I never had a cerfew after my sophomore year in high school my friends did so I was home by midnight 1 am. So when college came along it was normal
@Dera Kioandria Williams good luck always remember the journey is never a race but a merathon.
Good luck, Megan!!
I was 20 in 1995. I would never trade the amazing music scene and pop culture of the eighties and nineties that I was so privileged to live through as a kid and teen through my twenties. It was just such an amazing time that I cherish dearly.
I was 11
I was still a kid (13, I guess. I dont remember exactly when this came out). I listened to alternative b4 I ever got into heavier rock. I used to think Bush was hard rock. Ha, I was that young. Still trying to figure out what I even liked still. Fahnah send this to my brat tho... & I did meet these dudes later on. Only then I was in my early 20s. I guess a guy was drunk tho. It is a little weird knowing u grew up listening to something. & later on its like ur treated like an adult. Bc im not that type of listener. I remember Brian looking at the cd (villians?) then looking back at me looking like he was trying to do some mental math, guesstimating, puzzled but he didn't bother asking. Wever he was thinking. At least he was nice. Or more appropriate / :/ bc I at least had a crush on the bros. I just wasn't gonna say that out loud either bc it was a harmless kid crush back then. Even tho I used to be obsessed. Only, like what I said, I was a kid. My world only consisted of so much. Although I remember being in their chat room & finding someone I went to school w/ on there. Her last name was frank. She reminded me of Anne frank. Just bc of the name tho
I was 21 in 1995. Where did the time go?
I was 30 in 1995! Time goes by too fast!
I was 14
Born in 82. Listened to this at least 100 times. A Piece of my youth in high school and my best friends go to at every party since i can remember.
I'm 18 and I found this song on tiktok. Love the vibe to it. Wish I grew up back in the 90s so I wouldn't have to deal with all this negativity today. Social media, everything. Must've been nice to have an actual conversation with someone without them staring at their phone the whole time you're talking to them
It was nice feeling connected to people, technology ruined that connection. The 90s where a whole different time.
@@thatoneguy7684 it was a totally different world .....
Do yourself a favor,BOYCOTT TIKTOK, run by Communist Chinese Government
And we all sang along because we weren't distracted by phones. Just the song and friends. It was pretty cool. We didn't know what we had until the net came tho. Now we know.
Everyone always will look back on their youth with fondness and nostalgia, but it wasn’t so rosy. Social media has created new problems for sure, but it’s existence has also simply made us all more *aware* of everything. The 90s was chock full of alienated kids who suffered in silence, cutting themselves, numbing with drugs and alcohol and ending their lives. We played outside as kids, not under constant supervision, but we also dealt with physically abusive bullies, parents, teachers and pedos. There were certainly fewer mass shootings then, that is fair. But violence was still a problem.
I loved being a teen through the 90's. I was a loner with no direction, but this music was the perfect escape.

This wasnt supposed to be how my life went. Im still here though. Miss so much. Im 40 and these songs still make me get in my feels.
🦅 set new goal , take control 🕊
This isn't how my life went. The way I remember dreaming it.
Turned 41 today, cried at a Goonies Tik Tok. Why? Because we can never go back to this time and it’s heartbreaking...
I’m turning 40 this year. I feel the exact same way 😭
It makes me feel like Hemingway, that maybe we are another lost generation.
Favorite song of all time. Transports me back to the 90s every single time
Being in my mid 40s now. This song hits
different.. I miss the 80s and 90s and the friends I had then.
Music is a constant, and you are beautiful.
Thank you
I'm 44 and feel the same
Listening in 2022 as a 46 year old...still hits. Just something about this song.
46 here... This song hits different now than it did then ...it was just a song then. Now it's a time, a place, an entire era of our lives....
This song breaths life back into my teenage memories and just for a moment, I’m right there again.
Turning 46 in May...where did time go...wasted life
I’m listening to The Verve Pipe The Freshmen late May 2023
48 in August...
I was born in '81 and this song came out when I was a freshman in high school. Hard to believe how long ago that was now and how much simpler life was then - time flies, so make the most of every day and appreciate the people in your life!
Same
I just turned 37yrs old yesterday. Heard this song omw to work and made me happy and sad. Damn life goes by fast. Keep your heads up.
I remember the 90's vividly. Then the War came. I really miss you Mike. We were brothers. Normally I avoid these tunes because it's just too painful. I miss you buddy. Remember the sand and the stink??? AIRBORNE!!!
Literally in tears, I want the good days back. I just want to feel like I'm living again, times we're so much more simple back then. This music is a reflection of a whole generation.
We were merely freshmen………. I truly miss those days.
Such a good song and I miss these days. Turning on MTV and VH-1 at 2am and then hearing this song, Wallflowers
Live in the now. Be appreciative of the ability to reflect. Things may not be the way you expected them to be, but you’re here! Some didn’t make it bro. Put your trust in GOD, for your peace resides there.🙏🏿💪🏿❤️
I been struggling lately
@@illicaz5701 I feel that. Keep your chin up you got this!
This song is incredible. So darkly beautiful.
2023 and I am now 39 years old... I still listen to this song like it's the first time..... I will always love this and will share with my 2 daughters... ❤❤❤
I remember this song growing up in Arkansas we didn’t have much but we were happy, now I’m 31 and this song really means something else now to me. We were so innocent unaware of the hell we’d grow up and face.
I haven’t heard this song in YEARS. The feels I’m getting right now are indescribable. Music is the greatest window to the past!
I can listen to this song, and every time it brings me to tears. special
How when we're young, we fail to realize how are actions will affect our lives forever.
Agreed I just told a friend of mine that I understand that saying now, as I am 51 and totally get it. We don't appreciate those young days.
This song is TIMELESS
Who else is having flashbacks while listening? ❤️
same feels bruh
I feel it .....
Too many of them.
Raises hang
so many, man
I was 10 years old when was came out in 97. Now I'm 34. I feel like music is the closest thing we have to actually "feel" our past again. I get goosebumps when I listen to this and it brings back those feelings of adolescence, imagination, excitement, enjoyment, friendships, school crushes, memories of the things that used to matter to us as youth... oh the good ol days.
God I totally know what u mean!
Yes ❤️❤️❤️😭
Aww, i was 11 years old! I agree with you 🍀🌻
The Freshmen Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I was young, I knew everything
And she, a punk who rarely ever took advice
Now I'm guilt-stricken, sobbin', with my head on the floor
Stopped a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice, no
[Pre-Chorus]
Can't be held responsible
'Cause was touching her face
I won't be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place
[Chorus]
For the life of me, I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
For the life of me, I cannot believe
We'd ever die for these sins, we were merely freshmen
[Verse 2]
My best friend took a week's vacation to forget her
His girl took a week's worth of Valium and slept
And now he's guilt-stricken, sobbin', with his head on the floor
Thinks about her now and how he never really wept, he said
[Pre-Chorus]
"Can't be held responsible
'Cause she was touching her face
I won't be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place"
[Chorus]
For the life of me, I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
For the life of me, I cannot believe
We'd ever die for these sins, we were merely freshmen
[Post-Chorus]
Hey-yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey-yeah
Hey-yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
We tried to wash our hands of all of this
We'd never talk of our lacking relationships
And how we're guilt-stricken, sobbin', with our heads on the floor
We fell through the ice when we tried not to slip, we'd say
[Pre-Chorus]
"Can't be held responsible
'Cause she was touching her face
And I won't be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place"
[Chorus]
For the life of me, I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
For the life of me, I cannot believe
We'd ever die for these sins, we were merely freshmen
For the life of me, I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
For the life of me, I cannot believe
We'd ever die for these sins, we were merely freshmen
[Outro]
We were merely freshmen
We were only freshmen
Yes this song was written about he and his girlfriend's decision to get an abortion
Tq for lyric
I am a 57 year old and landed in the hospital at 37 with a brain injury. God granted me a wonderful wife and two beautiful kids. I’m grateful for every day.
this is one of those songs that takes you right back where you were when it was popular...love it forever
I turn 40 this month and man how this song takes me back! All the memories are flooding back. Back when technology hadn’t ruined everything when people actually interacted face to face not looking down on a phone or glued to Facebook. Im so grateful I came up in this time period. Like the song says we were merely freshman and we didn’t know how good we had it then! C/O 1999
This song is part of the soundtrack of my life. There was no skipping this song on the radio! I miss the 90’s.
This song will "NEVER EVER" get TOOOOOO old!!! I still sing n move my head like day 1! Always have a place in my heart!!❤️
Something about this song....maybe the sense of lost innocence. Who can’t identify with that.
Miss Kitty ..... Miss brown
m&m's chocolate Mars company
Forfeited my innocence a long time ago
The song's about an abortion and the guy trying to justify what they've done. The girl ends up with the dude's best friend and she ultimately takes her life. Great song full of emotion.
This song is about his girlfriend who committed suicide after having an abortion. It's a true sad story.
The excited anticipation I would get turning on MTV in 1996 is long gone. But thank you The Verve Pipe for being one of those bands/songs that I look back so fondly on.
1996- I was 15. Memories of: Taking the city bus to school, my CD Walkman (with extra Base),the movie Scream, playing Super Mario 64, and eating Pop Tarts. Good times!
@rakkahooah2187 so you’re like almost 45 now 😊
Not with the base?! Sony?
Same here. It was my freshmen year ironically.
I had a Sony disc-man with a strap, skipped like hell & the batteries lasted maybe 1 day lol!!! My roommate in college stole it from me good times...…. 1990
Timeless classic. Makes me feel at home.
Christ, I'm literally crying right now. It's been so long since I've listened to this song.
If I had a shoulder for you.
Next up, Runaway Train.
Smile ; )
Mannn, we all have that time with a song
Me too.
A song from my high school days. This song resonates with my entire adult life.. we thought we knew it all.. but we were only freshmen.
Mindy Morrison here. I still listen to this since I was freshman when it came out. My favorite ssong of all time
Who feels the 90s and the first years of 2000s like the best years ever in this earth, the vibes of those years won’t never reappear..😪
Hell ya. Middle 80's too.
80's were the shit 90's were the shit Early 2000-04' then all the fun gone.
Every generation says that
Damon Wille too true. Nostalgia’s a hell of a drug
Some of the eighties, all of the nineties, and just a little of the early 2000's was such an epic time in music (and in general). It's not such a great world musically anymore. :(
Grew up to my dad listening and singing this song all the time. He's been gone almost 3 yrs and it always makes me miss the good days of music listening with him.
Bless you. I just lost my father too although I'm fifty-eight yrs You don't look a day over 16 in the tiny pic. They're all discussing the meaning of this song. I think it's for the slow dance most of all. You tube is great for hearing what you like and Your dad is great for giving you some ideas about what to do with you tube. I mean here it is your dad is telling you next you have to go through this world and carefully pair up and go through the hard part he still wants you to make him a pappy. There goes my hero & take your time hurry up hurry up I mean you know all good things in moderation. John 3:16 and then some. I saw nobody replied to you yet. That made me want to reply. I shouldn't be to prophetic. Careful your admitting to some of your vulnerabilities in a way. Blessings I hope you get some replies and I hope good people can comfort you.
@@mt_vu_rx_jukeboxhero I'm actually 31.
Sry for your loss the 90’s were a great time in history
❤️
I lost my father a week before my 30th birthday... he will be gone for 8 years in August... it’s okay to reminisce and remember the good times and when the tears come, let them...
Was born in 1979. So I had the best of all of it. But I will always be stuck in the 90's. Was a very special time for so many of us. Smashing pumpkins was my favorite band of all time. But I remember all the other great bands also.
Born in '79 also! My two favorite bands are Type O Negative and Smashing Pumpkins.
Forever thankful to be Gen-X 🤘
Where are my older Millennials? 90s kid. Cell phones got popular my Jr year of HS. The last FREE generation. Love the memories and this song. Life is to short, enjoy friends!!!!
Was born in 81....teenage years during the 90s. It was the best decade by a long shot. 2000 came and it all went to sh*t.
One of the greatest songs ever.
If you like to cry. Don't listen while your drunk
Hey Will I just listened to longDecember You are very talanted man keep it up!
No Problem Will I love good music and you have an amazing talent Thank you!
My very favorite song. It speaks to me.
no Mindy Brown... if you need to cry... listen to this most excellent song!!!!!!!!!!!!! especially when your drunk .. like me!!!!!!!! ooooowwweeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The post grunge era of 95 to 97 had some haunting beautiful songs like this. I was a teen & I swear one day in my whole life in the summer of 97 I literally said to myself " this is the best time of my life & I'll never get it back " being a teen falling in love in the summer is just so innocent & brand new u just cant redo it or get it back. These songs are like a nostalgic knife in the heart. My first child being born was amazing but my life of my own was over in a sense it's been all about him & my family. I wish I knew why in 97 before hs ended we were all in such a rush to grow up. Youth only lasts such a short precious time I wish I knew I had the rest of my life to be an adult.
Yes!!!!❤❤❤
Hit that right on the head!
I like how this song communicates regret over relational brokenness. It doesn’t seek to blame, or deflect - just some real acknowledgement, and honesty about the pain that goes with it. He finally caught a little of the wisdom he thought he had, but didn’t. Nice. I was in college when this came out, and was seeking wisdom of my own.
As a freshman who’s going through all of the comments of people born in the 80s/90s somehow makes me feel nostalgic for a time that I wasn’t alive in 😅 I have I feeling that I’ll be going back to this song in my 30s and looking back, despite this song being before my time. One of my favorite songs.
I remember the 90s as full of this sort of music. Pain, anguish, loneliness so bad it hurt and hurt enough that we reached out and felt people near us. I remember when pot was shared freely, drinks were secondary to the people around us. Learning what a hallway with no light bulbs meant, not quite sure where my next meal would come from but able to bury my misery in a song that was deep enough to understand any pain I might be feeling. My 90s people, I miss and know you. We've survived this long together but alone, as we should. Our hearts broke together.
This song is a time machine.
This came out back when I didn't have to worry about things like money, career, romance, family, etc., and my future was open to all possibilities. Optimism and hope came effortlessly. Even though I was naive and dumb in some ways, I was happiest back then. I guess ignorance can truly be bliss. When I reflect on all that I've learned and experienced, the truth is that, for many, if not most of us, the best of life was when we were younger, and the future is bleak in comparison. The possibilities are less and less, body is aging, and the truth finally sets in that some things you'd hoped for in life will never come. So, I'm grateful when a song such as this can take me back--even if momentarily--to a time when life was simpler and the future seemed bright.
This song had always stuck with me because a friend of mine and I used to use this as the theme song to our Freshman year back in 1999 around the peak of this song. What a time to be alive! I'll always remember.. I just wish time could reverse. 😢 Memories don't have shit on actually living through an experience. Time is ever changing and it just depresses me more with every passing day, and year.
*I cannot believe we'd ever die for these sins* -that line hits hard now that life has taken its toll. The loss maybe so,e of us have suffered as adults, and we grew up feeling the pain that we never thought we'd have to feel as kids. Our innocence was in tact, our splendor for life and all it had to offer... only to realize the truth of reality as we age.
Between the ages of 12 and 22, you retain the most information from things that created an emotional response. This song is one of them. The nostalgia I feel when hearing this song along with so many others from this time makes me sad. I know I’m not the only one who feels this way. This is such a depressing and powerful song and when you first heard it while in high school, it became something that you’ll never forget. I’m in my 30’s now and just heard this song again recently for the first time since my high school years. I remembered every single lyric. THAT’S the power of music!
It’s sad reading these comments.. makes you realize how sad we all really are and how bad we want to go back in time. 😞
Not just the 90's crew, probably every generation before us.
We are so disconnected now it's killing those of us that remember how close we were in the 90s
@@Ralph_Sandwich I came of age in the early 90's. The friends I made in those first five years of the 90's...best memories of my life. Just buried one of my best friends from that age last week. Hadn't seen her in years. We've all grown so....distant.
@@TheGameCraftDragon this is by design.
The past is remembered as happier than it really was
When I was riding with my friends listening to this at 15 40 seemed so far away Now at 42 15 was a lifetime ago. Praise God I made it a lot of those friends didn't.
I am. Just a bit younger than myself, Scott will always be an exclamation point in my life.
I heard this song for the first time back in May of 2001 when I graduated high school. It was playing on the radio as I drove to graduation. It played and I thought back to all the girls I had tried and failed to pursue, the ones I dated, the friends i made, even the bullies who picked on me who became friendly the older we got. I thought of what summer would hold for me and then college and seeing all my classmates again before fall when everyone would scatter to various colleges and universities. Those friends I'd learned with, those who were there for me, those teachers who encouraged me and other students, the tragedies we all endured together and how for one last moment in time we would all get that diploma and then walk off or run off the field in a frenzy ready to face the world.
Now I listen to this song almost 22 years later thinking about how the next chapter was. The ups and downs I went through, hearing of classmates getting married, having kids, losing kids, and also how some classmates and teachers had passed away unexpectedly. Just life happening. I myself had been in a few relationships before getting married in 2008 and then in 2017 and 2019 becoming a father.
If you are a high school kid listening to this feel maker, take the good and the bad with high school. Keep those friends close to you, appreciate those teachers who put in time to help you learn, above all, pay attention and learn. But also have fun. Because before long life happens and you're looking back wishing it could've gone slower so you could enjoy it more.
This kind of music was the shit. Im 37 now and this is what I search now
Same lol
Chris Gentry 37 myself and can’t get enough of it ♥️
Me too
Me tree!
@@rachelvargyas80 filter next and maybe some audioslave for dessert
This song came out when I was actually a freshman in high school. Loved it then, love it now. 😌 I’m glad to share this time in the world with you people, as crazy as it can get sometimes these days.
i used to listen to this on repeat when i was having major adult issues in the 2010s. i was only a kid... i'm 25 now
one of those things was a tumor being removed and another was my father and sister dying 2 months apart in 2015. but i listened it a lot when i was a young kid because my mom introduced me to this and the band live, among other things
I turned 60 years young on June 10th I thought where did my life go??? I do take time to smell the roses and other flowers but the older I get the faster time seems to slip by time to slow down and Enjoy more ❤😊
This song came out right before I entered high school... I listened to this song on the first & last day of each school year, as a kind of tradition I made for myself. Brings back memories of those car rides to school every time I hear it...Such a great song, such a great time back then.
