Rasmus Nielsen and now that I’m a junior I wanna stay young with all my friends and when ever I think about when I graduate I cry bc ik I won’t be seeing a lot of them anymore
Yes sir, imagine him watching this video today in 2024. Man, life is too short to waste time living a single day with a frown. Smile brother, be happy like you were when you were 7 years old. Big hug Brazil. 😃
I'm actually at home in tears, and I didn't even seek out this video, it just came up on my feed. I can't even imagine how I'd be seeing this in person
I loved how he changed the words to match his own life and make it really relatable. This gave me chills and made me realize how fast live actually goes by.
when he starts singing again at 2:41 it makes me so emotional because the people you're friends with in your school days you don't always keep in touch with a lot of the people that were your friends
Skylar S I often wonder what happened to some of my childhood friends. Where are they today? Are they happy and successful? Are they even still alive? That's why I like FB, because a lot of times you are able to track childhood friends down and reconnect. But if they're not on FB, then it's very difficult to find anything out about them. I had a lot of really strong childhood friendships. I spent all of elementary, junior high (as it used to be called) and high school with the same group of kids, because we all lived in the same area in the same neighborhood. You literally grow up together. Then it becomes difficult when they start to move away or go away to college. 13 years together with the same kids. I guess that's why people attend their high school and college reunions...to reconnect. Good times and great memories from my childhood school days. ♥️
@@maryryanroman2399 I wish I spent more time making powerful memories instead of what I did that last 5 years. I'm now 17, but I have been thinking alot about life recently. I cannot agree any more with your beautiful comment. It's true what you said. All of it. You should hear Ed Sheeran's "Castle on the Hill". It's a song that deals with exactly that.
Extraterrestrial Horse I'm glad my words really mean something to you. I had a great childhood, had lots of really good friends, and I miss those days a lot. And when you're growing up and enjoying your classmates, who are also your friends, you don't realise how important they end up being one day. You don't think about it during that time, and take it for granted. It's years later, after everyone has moved away, that you realise how valuable they are and how much you miss them. It's not common for someone as young as you to realise this at just 17 years old. You must be an old soul. All I can say is, value your friends and make a real effort to keep in touch after high school with the ones who really mean something to you. You are fortunate, because with today's technology, it's extremely easy now to keep in touch. Lastly, enjoy every minute of your youth, because it goes by mighty fast. I did listen to Ed Sheeran's song, " Castle on the Hill". You are right...it is exactly about those wonderful childhood moments we all end up missing dearly.
Skylar S bro I know right I’m barely gonna enter my sophomore year and it’s crazy to think that in 2 more years my friend group won’t be completely together
It's so hard to think that after we graduate, half of our friends, we won't ever see again. All this work and strain we went through together, and we just lose it. Nothing but memories.
I haven't talked to a single friend from high school since the day after graduation. They all went off to SDSU or some other college out of state. It's really sad honestly, I hung out with them everyday for 4 years and now nothing
My 50th high school reunion is this year 🤔🤦♀️. 🤔🤔 I’m wondering if there are even a dozen of us left?🤦♀️🤔. There were over 500 in my graduating class
Yeaaah... I just turned 30 last week. The night before my birthday I sat in my car for 2 hours and just had flashbacks of the last 10 years of my life. Thinking about all the good, the bad, the ugly. It's been a rush.
I really hate it when some people give a standing ovation only to fit in. It is something you do when unable to do anything else you stand up and give a round of applause from your heart.
Once i was 7 years old My momma told me go, make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely Once i was 7 years old It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker By 11 we all wanted to grow older quicker And all our lives we couldn't wait until our senior year Once i was 11 years old My daddy told me don't, live your life too fast or you'll regret it Once i was 11 years old I always had that dream, since my freshmen year, to walk across the stage and hear all of the claps and cheers I don't what happened but now I'm right here It all went by so fast and now it just seems too surreal Now that we're seniors we're grown And i, want to thank everyone who, came in my life and made high school a great one Now that we're seniors we're grown I know the future is scary, and it's hard to be ready cause all the possibilities, I know that there's so many But no matter how it goes, i hope that everybody knows That you all mean so much to me and you're my future goals Soon we'll be getting our degrees and we'll, have our own house keys And we'll be telling high school stories to our families Soon we'll be getting our degrees And It's a big big world, we may not all stick together But I know that every one of you, I will remember And i wont forget how you changed my life for the better So i won"t tell you good bye, i'll just say see you later Now that we're seniors look around we've, made our parents proud we’ve Worked so hard and now we get our cap and gown Now that we're seniors look around Now that we're seniors look around we've, made our parents proud we’ve Worked so hard and now we get our cap and gown Now that we're seniors look around Once i was 7 years old My momma told me go, make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely Once i was 7 years old Once i was 7 years old
Thank you RUclips for recommending this video ... damn been 6.5 years already since I graduated high school . And 2 years since I finished my time in the marine corps. I can't even believe how fast time flies. I still feel 16. I miss the old days. The days are long but the years are short. What's even more surreal is those who have passed on and will be forever young .. hope you're still singing wherever you are JP.
Once I was seven years old, my mama told me, “Go make yourself some friends or you’ll be lonely.” Once I was seven years old. It was a big, big world, but we thought we were bigger. Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker. By eleven we all wanted to grow older quicker. And all our lives we couldn’t wait until our senior year. Once I was eleven years old, my daddy told me, “don’t live your life too fast or you’ll regret it.” Once I was eleven years old. I always had that dream since my freshman year, to walk across this stage and hear all the claps and cheers. I don’t know what happened but now I’m right here, it all went by so fast and now it just seems so surreal. Now we’re seniors we’ve grown, and I want to thank everyone who came in my life and made my school a grapevine. Now we’re seniors we’ve grown… I know the future’s scary and it’s [hard to be many] because all the possibilities, Lord knows they’re so many. But no matter how it goes, I hope that everybody knows that you all mean so much to me I know my future goes. Soon we’ll be getting our degrees and we’ll have our own house keys and we’ll be telling high school stories to our families soon we’ll be getting our degrees. And it’s a big, big world, we may not all stick together, but I know that every one of you, I will remember. And I won’t forget how you changed my life for the better, so I won’t tell you goodbye, I’ll just say see you later. Now, seniors, look around, we’ve made our parents proud, we’ve worked so hard and now we get our cap and gown. Now uh… seniors, look around. Now, seniors, look around, we’ve made our parents proud, we’ve worked so hard and now we get our cap and gown. Now, seniors, look around… Once I was seven years old, my mama told me, “Go make yourself some friends or you’ll be lonely.” Once I was seven years old, once I was seven years old…
This honestly makes me cry because it felt like yesterday I graduated high school and now I’m 24 with my college degree and full time job. Don’t wish away your childhood
Dude's got me in tears over here. I don't even know y'all but I'm so proud that you made it through this chapter in your life. Go forth, follow your dreams and be successful!
In the song it says "we might not stick together forever, but I'll remember the memories" It is hard going your separate way, and leaving the ones u love behind. Can anyone relate?
I always come back to this song once in awhile, watching some of the teachers in the back tearing up, I know they were reminiscing their younger days too.
JonPaul Wallace Yes sir I can. I had sent you a message when you first did this on I believe Instagram letting you know I posted this and sent the link. I believe you replied but that was 4 years ago ish
The lyrics tore straight to my core. I just graduated high school in 2020 and my graduation got pushed back multiple months to the point I wasn’t sure I would have it. We did in the end, and this video just encapsulates what high school is all about. You’re forced to be around people you wouldn’t normally be, but you learn from each other and grow together. There’s a special bond formed from being around each other every day at that age, and this man’s beautiful voice and lyrics portrayed that perfectly.
He is a million times better than Lewis capaldi..I think is the original singers name..I always come back to this version, I honestly would buy it if he recorded it ..outstanding..and the change of the words to suit the situation..
Your version of 7 years old is so amazing!! What a great song and you have such a nice voice. Live every moment in joy and laughter - live goes by so quickly.
Yeah time really does fly. Today was my last day of senior year. It’s not what we really expected it to be but it still feels like an accomplishment. I really hope you and your fellow classmates have the BEST senior experience possible!
This is amazing and beautiful. Some of those teachers were so proud. They actually cared and actually teach and for them to see this young man do this was heartfelt for some of them
This young man shows what kind of products this school puts out. Wonderful job. This is amazing/emotional and parents and school should be very proud. Such poise. 👍

Wow, well done. He has a beautiful voice. How truthful this song is. All you graduates don’t wish your life away. Enjoy yourselves as life goes by so fast. Good luck to you all.
Great voice man! Nothing better than going on stage nervous as fuck then you see a friend/fam member and it just brings you out your shell and you just feel weight lifted off you. Support is key man. We noticed how comfortable you were when you seen someone u know.
Okay this song hit me so hard, I felt I was there! My graduation was boring and not wholesome as he made me feel hearing those lyrics finally. Beautiful, I wish you all the best.
When I was a freshmen in high school, it was awesome. I made a lot of great friends and a lot of people I call family now. During the last few months of that school year, we went into quarantine and we were all stuck doing zoom like the rest of the world. I haven’t seen some of my friends in over a year now. This school year we’re going to be going back on campus so I’m really excited. I’m now a junior and can’t wait to make more memories with the little time in high school I have left. A lot of people in high school resent going and look at it as a burden these days. But just remember that time is precious and those 4 years in high school go by very quickly. So just make the most of it and make good memories while you can because if you do, one day you will look back and remember all the people you met and all the good experiences you had. Sorry for writing a long paragraph lol but this student really reminded me of what is important in life. It’s the people around you and the experiences you make with those people that makes life special. Hope everyone enjoys their day.
I pray wherever you are young man, you’re doing great in life. That was beautiful, and well put together. In truth we were all in a hurry to grow up, not realizing we all wouldn’t stick together. But mostly everyone i still remember. ❤😢
He reminds me of my eldest son (though my son is only in year 7) I see how my son will be when he graduates 🎓 amazing voice and I love how he changed the words to suit his life!!! Amazzzing!!!
WOW! I wish the sound quality had been better but once I turned it up I could hear the words. What an amazing job by this young man, and such a beautiful voice. I noticed too that there didn't seem to be a lot of dry eyes on stage - nor my own. Brilliantly done, Mr. Wallace!
Wow. That was really good. This is an extremely challenging song to sing and you nailed it. Your pitch was right on. Thank you and Congratulations. Well done.
the video is 7 years old....
I just noticed 😮
😮
Soo ironic 😅
Absolutely crazy right!!
Exactly what I was about to write
"By eleven we all wanted to grow older quicker" Damn, if you say you don't relate to this, you lie.
Rasmus Nielsen and now that I’m a junior I wanna stay young with all my friends and when ever I think about when I graduate I cry bc ik I won’t be seeing a lot of them anymore
Nah I'm 12 and I never wanna grow up
I kinda relate to it. But as a kid I knew I didn’t wanna grow up. Shit is scary man 😔
@@chilldoc9638 ...cause you are no longer 11... haha.

Fr I’m a senior in high school and the last 4 years have flown by, so many good memories and honestly make me emotional
That was just censoring
it actually pissed me odd
It made me too realized how fast it’s going by.
This song makes you see how fast life goes by.
i’m 3 years late but for real
@@Maya-ev5iy I forgot I had this comment XD
It does i was depressed because I just have 1 week for school and I won’t go back
This is very true
Yesh
I'm 75 and I relate to this young man. I too was 7 years old once. And the memories are like a kaleidoscope. Tempus fugit.
Thats a slang word back then no?
@@Ora-id2ry what do you mean by slang. Tempus fugit means "time flies" in Latin. A scholarly language.
Hello Mr/Mrs.Suzie, how are you ?😄
The fact that I’m watching this 7 years later
when he starts singing again at 2:41 it makes me so emotional because the people you're friends with in your school days you don't always keep in touch with a lot of the people that were your friends

You realize record deals are for people who write their own material right? This is a cover, a damn good one though.
Rez well it's more of a parody
@@saad25saad parody's are exaggerations for humor. This didn't have any exaggeration or humor, but had heart, therefore not a parody.

Yeah time really does fly. Today was my last day of senior year. It’s not what we really expected it to be but it still feels like an accomplishment. I really hope you and your fellow classmates have the BEST senior experience possible!
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Where's the tissues? I'm in tears. Great job! It does make you wonder where time goes. Always cherish those youthful years & friends in school.
Michelle Cox Yes!! And I do!!
The lyrics really hits home hard… I can recall the mixture of emotions when I graduated myself…
This is amazing and beautiful. Some of those teachers were so proud. They actually cared and actually teach and for them to see this young man do this was heartfelt for some of them
he is great at singing
Evan The Gamer his name is Jon Paul wallace
Holy shit didn’t expect it to sound this good.
Wow. Why is this not played for every graduation? Amazing!!! I still have chills
This young man shows what kind of products this school puts out. Wonderful job. This is amazing/emotional and parents and school should be very proud. Such poise. 👍
Standing ovation! Love his voice every time, no matter how many times I have watched it over the years!

What a great job changing the lyrics to fit a graduation. Well done!!!! I love this song.
Yes sir, imagine him watching this video today in 2024. Man, life is too short to waste time living a single day with a frown. Smile brother, be happy like you were when you were 7 years old. Big hug Brazil. 😃
Ummm, can we hear more of this guy!!!!! He gave me the chills with that amazing voice!
Wow, well done. He has a beautiful voice. How truthful this song is. All you graduates don’t wish your life away. Enjoy yourselves as life goes by so fast. Good luck to you all.

THIS SONG MAKES ME EMOTIONAL EVERYTIME I WATCH IT
crazy how fast life flys by with a blink of an eye. live in the present! Bless u all
Wow this really has me tearing up, it’s so touching. Well done. 🎉
Great voice man! Nothing better than going on stage nervous as fuck then you see a friend/fam member and it just brings you out your shell and you just feel weight lifted off you. Support is key man. We noticed how comfortable you were when you seen someone u know.
This video will forever be touching!
Sheesh someone is cutting onions around me that was so beautiful his voice is so phenomenal and soulful🙋🏾♀️🥰❤️
Hard!! This kid appreciated it in the moment. Wise beyond his years. Enjoy life and look for the good in everything, you only get one life to live!
Okay this song hit me so hard, I felt I was there! My graduation was boring and not wholesome as he made me feel hearing those lyrics finally. Beautiful, I wish you all the best.
When I was a freshmen in high school, it was awesome. I made a lot of great friends and a lot of people I call family now. During the last few months of that school year, we went into quarantine and we were all stuck doing zoom like the rest of the world. I haven’t seen some of my friends in over a year now. This school year we’re going to be going back on campus so I’m really excited. I’m now a junior and can’t wait to make more memories with the little time in high school I have left. A lot of people in high school resent going and look at it as a burden these days. But just remember that time is precious and those 4 years in high school go by very quickly. So just make the most of it and make good memories while you can because if you do, one day you will look back and remember all the people you met and all the good experiences you had. Sorry for writing a long paragraph lol but this student really reminded me of what is important in life. It’s the people around you and the experiences you make with those people that makes life special. Hope everyone enjoys their day.
That kid was AWESOME! Made me cry! God Bless🙏🌟Thank you! He should be making albums by now!🤗Wow!
I pray wherever you are young man, you’re doing great in life. That was beautiful, and well put together. In truth we were all in a hurry to grow up, not realizing we all wouldn’t stick together. But mostly everyone i still remember. ❤😢
He reminds me of my eldest son (though my son is only in year 7) I see how my son will be when he graduates 🎓 amazing voice and I love how he changed the words to suit his life!!! Amazzzing!!!
God bless all graduates of 2024
Excellent. This young man is amazing. ❤Bless your heart.
The voice of an angel. I hope he is well! 💙💙
Keith a voice like that no limit to where it will take you. Amazing talent,!! God Bless you
As a graduating senior for the 2023 school year and graduating early I can relate to this but this literally gave me chills I cried
Love the way he changed this up it was so great. Congratulations to all the seniors all around America
Wow! Just...wow! Absolutely perfect. I could listen to his voice all day, everyday. Sign him up! I can't wait to hear what else he does.
why did this actually make me cry? i want the studio version but now its 6 years later. i would have cried if i was in that graduating class.
Oh, I had an awful day today and this just filled my heart with so much joy🤯
BRAVO 🙌
THIS IS OUR FUTURE FOLKS 💓
WOW! I wish the sound quality had been better but once I turned it up I could hear the words. What an amazing job by this young man, and such a beautiful voice. I noticed too that there didn't seem to be a lot of dry eyes on stage - nor my own. Brilliantly done, Mr. Wallace!
So amazing…. To whoever posted the lyrics that as he sung them, thank-you! So moving!!
Wow!!! This is beautiful! And then look at that graduating class!! That’s a huge one! Now they’re all about 23-24 years old now. Time still flying😩
I'm not crying. You're crying😭😭
Wow. That was really good. This is an extremely challenging song to sing and you nailed it. Your pitch was right on. Thank you and Congratulations. Well done.
This is great ❣️ I like the emotions the teachers show ..really great ..great job this guy did there 💖
