damn, first time I heard this song was on one of those victory records music video CDs that came with the Hawthorne Heights Silence In Black and White cd I bought back in jr high school lol
Oh man, I remember watching this music video on Fuse on Sunday Mornings on "Victory TV", good fucking times. I feel so old, that was 13 years ago...and I was 13 when watching
Holy shit man, listened to em all heavy in the early-mid 2000s. Atreyu, Hawthorne Heights, Funeral for a friend, Underoath, The Used, Brand New, Armor for sleep, Scary Kids Scaring Kids and so many others. But somehow I just found this band in 2020! Like a gem buried in the ground. They remind me of Alkaline Trio a lot.
the other day this girl told my friend she was too old for this kind of music... w t f. please, we are almost 28. i love this just as much as when i was 18!! so much feels.
This is "True Emo". Not the emo ruined by greedy corporations trying to milk off every dollar from you by over saturating it with generic chord progressions and non original lyrical themes. Bayside knows how to play emo the right way. I feel that they play more of a tougher emo with more originality in their lyrics.
I got my friend hooked on this bad in middle school. These songs have helped me through a lot of shit. When she was having a hard time I passed them on to her. She was instantly hooked
i got the dvd with a special edition hawthorne heights cd years and years ago from best buy. i still have it somewhere and its still watched on friday nights lol
Dude, these guys got me through some rough days back in 2010-11 and no shit I would listen to bayside on repeat 🔁 for over a year at one point and I could do that again in 2024
I played that game as a kid and this song stuck with me for years. I looked up the lyrics to it recently to listen to it again and figure which band made it. It's even cooler than I remember and now I'm looking forward to listening to more music from Bayside.
It's not bad... It is crazy how I can say I don't like a song, go and listen to it and end up not not liking it as much as I thought. I still don't think I can listen to I Think I'll Be Okay.
This album came out the summer I graduated high school and I loved it to death. I'm pretty sure I burned a hole in that cd listening to this song and Montauk relentlessly day after day. The whole album made such an impression on me that I COULDN'T AVOID LISTENING TO IT CONSTANTLY. 2yrs later they put out Walking Wounded and forget it, I destroyed 3 of those cd's from over-listening. THen I grew up a bit and stopped listening to Bayside obsessively. But the other day, I threw this album and Walking Wounded on for old times-sake. I quickly realized how these songs hit me the same way as back then but they've taken on a whole new meaning because now I'm 28, not 18. Regardless, the songs are just as relevant. What makes this album so great (#1) is the honestly genuine lyrics. I think Anthony Raneri approaches his craft in a way that he will be deep inside my head whether I'm 18, 28, 38, 48 etc. What else makes this album great (#2) is the guitar freakouts that come at a relentless pace. This album and Walking Wounded have songs that have 2 or 3 guitar solos apiece. And mind you, those albums came out at a time when guitar solos weren't particularly cool. I'm pretty sure that their guitar styles were another reason I latched on to those albums so hard. If you were a scene kiddo circa 2005-2007, you know what I'm saying. Bayside was the coolest band of that time. They broke trends in a way that made them so much cooler than other bands of that time/genre.. If you weren't a scene kiddo in the golden age, you probably think my post sounds stupid and overly long and you are fully entitled to your opinion, so go enjoy yourself!!!!
Trying to create something that's not there A spark I saw as a bomb is just a means to an end And I was just so happy to be out of my shell again Don't think that I really cared for who or what So for now I'll just have to keep it shut [Pre-Chorus] If you're not ready, you're not ready Please stop acting like you are [Chorus] How could I know That everything you say are lies About devotion and desire? And I know the spark Inside your eyes was just the match I used to set myself on fire [Verse 2] My mouth's shooting blanks Situation's unbearable I've gotten vulnerable Now anyone is free to waltz right in My temple's been invaded And there's nobody guarding it All over this lonely life But what's so wrong with being all alone?

god this song is so amazing. the best way to listen is in the car on the way to and from school, blasting and singing it at the top of my lungs with the windows down. i always liked bayside but when i really started to listen to them they became so much more to me.
Saw them at warped tour in Mansfield Mass. Bassist threw his pick into the stands and it got stuck in a girls hair who was in front of me. I was like a cat scratching a couch and made sure it was mine 🤣🤣🤣
Been listening to Bayside since 2005, incredible band. Met Anthony and Jack at a demo show they had at Sam Goody in San Antonio, Texas and they were so nice and humble. We even created a custom hand shake that I won't forget.
FINALLY. IVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS SONG FOR THE LONGEST TIME AND TODAY I COMPLETELY FORGOT IT AND ALL I COULD REMEMBER WAS EMOTION BUT THEN IT WAS DEVOTION AND I REMEMBERED THE TOON IN THE BATHROOM AND IM SO HAPPY I FINALLY FOUND IT
A lot if this music brings me back to the most painful parts of life. If it wasn't for music like this to bring me up from really dark places i dont know where i would be.
2024. Still goes hard af
This song is fucking good!
Bayside is a cult
@@sirbunsalot7726 soooo fucking good

Absolutely
Anyone else goin on a late night nostalgia trip?

Good ol emo days
Early morning 🤷♂️
damn, first time I heard this song was on one of those victory records music video CDs that came with the Hawthorne Heights Silence In Black and White cd I bought back in jr high school lol
Dude same! Also had Sinai Beach on it too. Hard to believe it was like 10 years ago. I was 14 at the time. Time is flying by.
EsotericVision Those were badass I had one in my Atreyu The Curse Cd!
TheBro BroBro Dude You fucking rock!!!!
TheBro BroBro Thank you good sir!

Oh man, I remember watching this music video on Fuse on Sunday Mornings on "Victory TV", good fucking times. I feel so old, that was 13 years ago...and I was 13 when watching
ARTV Hey, Neighbor!!!! I just saw them for the second time!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
I was 8 haha was some good times
I had the mosh pit CD for victory records.
Remember how quickly Victory went from the alternative music lovers refuge to just another reality TV crap house?
It's scary isn't it man..
So underrated. I used to listen to this song on the school bus all the time when I was in middle school. Haha.
still underrated
Same mate. I remember when I found out I could put it on my iPod and listen to it any time I wanted.
That's awesome. My gf got me into these genres after we both hit our 20s and we've both been diving into all her old influences again
Damn Hansol how many subscribers you think you had when you wrote this comment 7 years ago?
Same here bro. We would have been good friends.
Ninth grade for me on the victory record samplers with aiden and Silverstein
Turtle Reed hahaha me too! It came with my Hawthorne heights cd!
Same!
Dude same
This is what we call a classic
Holy shit man, listened to em all heavy in the early-mid 2000s. Atreyu, Hawthorne Heights, Funeral for a friend, Underoath, The Used, Brand New, Armor for sleep, Scary Kids Scaring Kids and so many others. But somehow I just found this band in 2020! Like a gem buried in the ground. They remind me of Alkaline Trio a lot.
Ty for this list! I forgot all about most of these.
Dude check out Midtown. If you love these guys you'll love midtown for sure.
Man, was a Victory records addict in the mid-2000s, loved the DVDs they'd put in with CDs that would have these videos.
They opened for Alk3 on a few tours
I love the excitement in this comment. Headed to see them in Denver this weekend for the first time in 17 years. Bayside got me through high school.
36 year old dad rocking out to this in 2022. Man I had the best music as a kid!
Smae my dad does to but I do it with him lol
I seen them 4/5 times dude
I'm from gen z, and I can't help, but agree lol
Yeahhhhh

the other day this girl told my friend she was too old for this kind of music... w t f. please, we are almost 28. i love this just as much as when i was 18!! so much feels.
Ill be 33 this April. I've found it's only gotten more important for me
29 here. Old feels all around.
You still here?
Yes!
32 in a few days. Still remember hearing it for the first time as a teen. Back when Atreyu became my favorite band for the longest time.
R.I.P. John "Beatz" Holohan (Drummer in the video)
Victory records introduced me to Bayside,Atreyu,Aiden,Hawthorne Heights,Darkest Hour, Silverstein, The Autumn Offering, all in one dvd.
RIP Beatz. 18 years gone now but never forgotten.
This is "True Emo". Not the emo ruined by greedy corporations trying to milk off every dollar from you by over saturating it with generic chord progressions and non original lyrical themes.
Bayside knows how to play emo the right way. I feel that they play more of a tougher emo with more originality in their lyrics.
this song is underrated af.. his delivery in the second half of the song is killer
Just realized 1.7 mil views in 12 years. WTF, should easily be 10x.
Fun fact: I was in this music video 🤙🏼
Cool!!!!!
Everywhere 😂
Every once in a while you accidentally find a band You never heard of who blows your mind.
Same! BOOM instantly hooked
I got my friend hooked on this bad in middle school. These songs have helped me through a lot of shit. When she was having a hard time I passed them on to her. She was instantly hooked

Remember hearing this song on NCAA Baseball '06. Great game, great indie-punk soundtrack, great memories.
good times taking Air Force the CWS
I literally just looked for this song by typing in the baseball soundtrack ahahahah
Best game soundtrack ever in my opinion
I played that game as a kid and this song stuck with me for years. I looked up the lyrics to it recently to listen to it again and figure which band made it. It's even cooler than I remember and now I'm looking forward to listening to more music from Bayside.
Timeless classics write themselves
2024. 37y/o F, this song still brings out my inner Emo kid 😊
Err time.
First heard in 2008, still listening in 2024 🤘

I remember seeing this music video on a Victory Records demo back in 2007, good ol days of music. ❤
Still slaps
The day I find a dude who listens to bayside as much as I do I will marry him
+Liah Wolf Hmm, must definitely not be around Colorado.
+Liah Wolf You must not be around Oklahoma.
The panhandle? That's a fun drive. My windshield loves rocks.
I haven't been that direction through TX yet. Such a large state.
Liah Wolf
Cool, I am guessing around the Gainesville
area?
Growing up listening to rap never heard a lot of these kinds of songs but im loving it gives me a feeling I’ve never felt
This one’s a lot more special than most of the songs from this time imo
Who’s here for When We Were Young? Where my geezers at?
Me lol 🔥🎸🤟🏼💯
Warped tour was amazing
I can't believe I just found this band.
worth it huh
trust me you'll never find better they don't have one single bad song
Loveless Wrists..... can't stand it.
really? i like it quite alot
It's not bad... It is crazy how I can say I don't like a song, go and listen to it and end up not not liking it as much as I thought. I still don't think I can listen to I Think I'll Be Okay.
Bayside, Story of the Year, and Yellowcard. The holy trinity
amen
Love all 3 🤘🏼💚
Cannot believe I forgot about Bayside!!! Listened to them all the time in high school! Saw them love several times!! So underrated!
Live.
It’s like Alkaline Trio and Hawthorne Heights had a baby
I scream this song Everytime I hear it.... How could I know everything you said weres lies about devotion and desire
I think RUclips should take a vote to say this is the most UNDER RATED song of all time
in terms of music in this era, this holds up surprisingly well.
How are were you then and now lol
mvp ncaa baseball 06 brought me here
This album was my bible..lyrics spoke to me, no lie. What an album
I feel the lyrics of the song so deeply after a heartbreak from a girl who used to tell me she loved me.
The nostalgia holy shit. I remember delivering pizzas to this lol!

wowie... I was trying to think of just what to say about this but you said all my thoughts and more.
I wonder how you are doing today. That was such an awesome comment from 7 years ago!!! let us know if you still get this lol
I heard this somg today for the first time and went searching for comments like yours. They made me smile. :3
I was 13 and KNEW this song and band would stick with me forever. Beautiful.
Jesus, on the same nostalgia trip two years later and RUclips makes my comment the second one. It's not a fucking phase RUclips.
Over a decade of listening to them almost weekly and they still give me the fucking chills.
Saw these guys last night. So fire 🔥 21 Years of Love
This hits too hard.
its 2022 and I'm here for them.
Trying to create something that's not there
A spark I saw as a bomb is just a means to an end
And I was just so happy to be out of my shell again

So for now I'll just have to keep it shut
[Pre-Chorus]
If you're not ready, you're not ready
Please stop acting like you are
[Chorus]
How could I know
That everything you say are lies
About devotion and desire?
And I know the spark
Inside your eyes was just the match
I used to set myself on fire
[Verse 2]
My mouth's shooting blanks
Situation's unbearable
I've gotten vulnerable
Now anyone is free to waltz right in
My temple's been invaded
And there's nobody guarding it
All over this lonely life
But what's so wrong with being all alone?
Alone's the only way I've ever known
[Pre-Chorus]
If you're not ready, you're not ready
Please stop acting like you are
[Chorus]
How could I know
That everything you say are lies
About devotion and desire?
And I know the spark
Inside your eyes was just the match
I used to set myself on fire
[Bridge]
And I'm pleading
'Cause this kills and
It's still bleeding
My darling
I'm taking
My life back
To start healing
[Chorus]
How could I know
That everything you say are lies
About devotion and desire?
And I know the spark
Inside your eyes was just the match
I used to set myself on fire
Such a classic, iconic song for me. Damn. The lyrics... Never gets old.
It's still a good band
Bayside is THE band....
Randomly came about this song and I love it! Been listening to it over and over!
Welcome. Bayside is still a cult. 😎
1 million views!?
Fuck yeah, I always knew Bayside would gain some traction... most underrated artist of the last 15 years, hands down.
This was the first song I listened from them back when I was in high school... good memories
I'm 35 and how have I never heard this before!?
I'm 14 lol i love this band
They are just as good live, I wish I could see them again!
I first heard this song in 2006 and it still hits just as hard today as it did back then!
Got reccomended this song by a friend, she has good taste in music
That's badass. I want her suggestions too now lol 😆
You have a good friend. Mind was blown in 2005 when my friend introduce us to this
saw them live yesterday and they ended their set with this song! I was in the front row, best time of my damn life.

Yep. These guys still kick ass.
one of Baysides Best...
god this song is so amazing. the best way to listen is in the car on the way to and from school, blasting and singing it at the top of my lungs with the windows down. i always liked bayside but when i really started to listen to them they became so much more to me.
I still love this song so much. Been 10 years since I first heard it
20 yo n listening to this gem
Oh glorious purpose. Haven't heard anything so beautiful in all 9 realms of asgard. Thank you, midgard
Bayside making the dark side of love ever-so tempting.
This song is amazing, the guitar solo is incredible. Do more of their music has guitar solos? This song was the jam back in the day
A lot of Bayside songs has guitar solos. They remind me of Sum 41 meets Alkaline Trio
picked up a bayside cd in hot topic like 2009 and used the listening station to check them out. No regrets :D
You made the right pick, congrats.
Holy shit this song is still good as I remember
I honestly forgot how good this song is until I listened to it again
Not sure why this band isn't bigger than they are
best christian rock song ever
I would two step to this
Saw them at warped tour in Mansfield Mass. Bassist threw his pick into the stands and it got stuck in a girls hair who was in front of me. I was like a cat scratching a couch and made sure it was mine 🤣🤣🤣
Been listening to Bayside since 2005, incredible band. Met Anthony and Jack at a demo show they had at Sam Goody in San Antonio, Texas and they were so nice and humble. We even created a custom hand shake that I won't forget.
Dude I was there to!!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼 good old days
Ncaa baseball 2006 introduced me to this song, it always used to hype me up😆
I was playing Senses Fail on Google Home, and this song came on. 2 months later, hooked on Bayside.
FINALLY. IVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS SONG FOR THE LONGEST TIME AND TODAY I COMPLETELY FORGOT IT AND ALL I COULD REMEMBER WAS EMOTION BUT THEN IT WAS DEVOTION AND I REMEMBERED THE TOON IN THE BATHROOM AND IM SO HAPPY I FINALLY FOUND IT
Best song of 2020 of far.
Ahhhhhhhh 10th grade. Good times. Song still kicks ass!
A lot if this music brings me back to the most painful parts of life. If it wasn't for music like this to bring me up from really dark places i dont know where i would be.
Discovering bayside in 2018 could’ve used this song back in high school days
They're back and with a new single!!!!!!! Go and hear it!!! :D
2023 amd this is still a jam
Remember getting into these guys when I was a little kid from a college baseball video game.
I've new this band since like when I was born cause my dad always listens to it and we always sing together and still today
This band is awesome!
I'm 26 and I still jam Bayside. I first heard this song on the victory DVD and found a shit ton of awesome bands too.
Im 28. Been listening since 15. Bayside is immortal.
Can't wait to see this LIVE
its 2020 and I still love this song!!
