@@evanr9111 Well, I don't know you, but I'll just tell you from my heart that I know everything will be okay. Bad things never stay. Everything will get better, always. 🌹 Also, you have a beautiful name.
The songs from the mid-90s I think. It’s crazy to think about though, a band in the 90s made a song that someone put on this crazy new thing called RUclips in 2008, and people are still watching it in 2021.
Firestorm-115 it came out in 2004. Jimmy Eat World was one of the bands that kickstarted the whole emo phase. They broke out to mainstream success in 2001. This song was instrumental in that scene... MCR and all that shit immediately followed this, citing them as one of their influences. I’m not an emo fan at all, and at the time I hated it, but I always loved this song. I was 14 when it was released. 11 when “the middle” was.
There are certain songs that you hear in your youth, that, no matter how you change, what shit you go through, or how your tastes evolve, you always remember. These are the best songs, because they bring back those times, when thing were simpler. When we didn't have to worry about so much, when we could be careless fools making dumb decisions. This is one of those. We are adults now, but this song is one of the links that brings me back.
I know exactly how you feel man. I remember singing along to these songs in the car when I was little. I like rap and trap right now but I still love these songs.
For me, this song is less of "High school, parties, nostalgia, whoooo!" And more of "Hey! You're doing great, you've got this. I believe in you.". It's one of those rare songs that just sounds innocent. I was listening to this on the radio and I thought it had to have some sinister meaning or stupid innuendo. No, it's just a really positive, reassuring song. It's just one of those songs that makes me feel like "Everything will be alright" when I listen to it. I know this may sound corny and clichéd, but to anyone reading this, you've got this! You're doing great at life, and anything that's less than great will get better! If it's your stance on the subject, or maybe it really just lightens up, it WILL get better. And if everything's going great, that's awesome! I hope it stays that way. But be sure to give that same positive feeling to those who need it. Have an incredible day, and don't forget to keep being awesome!
I've been listening to this songs for years. Ever since I was a kid. I'm 35 now. I could listen to it for hours. Whenever I'm down, sad, happy, not feeling well. I just love this song. Was also my mom and aunt's favorite
I HEARD THIS SONG WHEN I WAS 3 GODDAMN YEARS OLD AND HAVE FINALLY FOUND IT AFTER FUCKING YEARS OF ONLY BEING ABLE TO REMEMBER A BLUR OF WHAT THE CHORUS SOUNDED LIKE "Ooobie kanoobi"
I dedicated this song to my daughter! She's having a hard time with high school, like normal kids. She cried lol This is a beautiful song! Reminds you to not let other people negative opinions about you change the way you feel about yourself! And everything will be just fine! ❤
My husband died three months ago and I am suffering from grief with so much depression and anxiety. I found this song after not hearing it for a long time, and oh my gosh, what a comfort. I feel they were singing to me and so comforting and uplifting. Thank you.
My mom bought me this CD when I was little to give me hope. I was relentlessy bullied and teased at school and I had a lot of things going on that nobody understood. We would later find out that I had a few disorders that made life very difficult for me. Most of the time I had no friends and I felt so hopeless even as a little girl that I would cry every day and isolate myself more. She thought this song would help me so she went out and bought the CD. I listened to it on repeat all of the time. And it did give me hope. I felt like he was speaking to me and everything really would be okay. So sometimes I come back and listen to it, if only just to remember that little glimmer of hope it gave me when I felt like I had nothing.
Good to hear. Im a 30 year old 250lbs man that can handle himself. My work involves holding workshops were I have to speak to over 100 grown, rough working class Men. If I have to have a 1 on 1 convo with someone, I turn red as fuck, hit out in sweats and can hardly speak
@@murrayannandale I'm short and apparently being "curvy" is the same as fat so I get weird looks, stares, and just mean comments all the time. If I try to talk to someone, I always just stand awkwardly and say one liners and leave ASAP bc I'm so insecure.
A wise man once said"it just takes some time little girl you're in the middle of the ride everything everything will be just fine ,everything everything will alright, alright."
My bf has been cheating on me our entire relationship. I dumped him of course..but I was really upset. This song cheered me up. "Just be yourself. It doesn't matter if its good enough for someone else" Thanks Jimmy Eat World
Marco Pozzi Your a freaking pig dude. Grow up. You only insult other people to make yourself feel better. You know, calling her ugly will not make you any better looking. I figure there is probably a reason you don't have a picture posted. LOL. ;)
Marco Pozzi Shut the fuck up. Get the fuck off the earth. Marlena is a beautiful lady, and you're just mad because you can't get a girlfriend as pretty as her. Fucker.
So many age groups love and identify with this song. Doesn't matter if you're 15 years old or 42 this song speaks to you. And that's what makes it a GREAT song 👍
leo miller well, after hearing the same song twenty times a day for about 3 yrs..yeah it kinda changes the way u perceive the song...so i guess ur right, too
I listened to this when i was a kid I listened to this in middle school, Highschool, college And now I listened to it after graduation And surprisingly, i always feel better. This song is amazing. Things have definitely worked out, and im sure they will, even now. :)
this is the one song that when im laying in bed with negative feelings, heartache, depression, it just gets me up and dancing around the house in socks, boxers and a tshirt
This is such a timeless song. Was like 11-12 when this came out, now I'm a grown ass 32yr old man and I still listen to this when my depression starts getting to deep. Remember y'all. Everything will be just fine, it just takes some time ❤
Remember when shows were good and no one gave a fuck about anything Skating was the only sport we cared about back when there was no racism for a bit yup that 2008 and also EVERYBODY wanted to be in a Band
When I was 11, my brother made me listen to this song, and I really liked it. I didn't speak English very well back then, as English is not my first language, so I didn't understand a word of it, but I enjoyed listening to it. Now, 5 years later, dealing with my Social Anxiety, I decided to listen to it again as it just came by on youtube. Right now, I am sitting here, tears in my eyes from relating to this song. It helps me a great deal.
When I was a teenager my main thing was music. How I communicated moods, feelings, etc. My dad picked up on this, and I was going through a real rough time, so he wanted to find the perfect song to tell me it would be ok. He spent hours at harmony house listening to different songs (via my friend that worked at our regular store) until he found this one and said it was perfect. He bought me the album and showed me the song, and now, whenever I'm having a really rough go and this song comes on on the radio or on streaming, I remember him and how much he just wanted me to know I'd be ok. He died when I was 19, and my life has been really rough without him, but I feel a little better that my dad is telling me I'll be ok eventually, even after he's gone.
Epiphany moment! I have heard this song for years but never listened to the lyrics. I needed this more than anything at this point in my life for perspective.
I suffer anxiety, specifically social anxiety and it's giving me mild depression. This song made me feel better. I guess it will just take some time till my anxieties will go away. I thought it was just shyness when I was little and that's what everyone would say but it has never gone away and the shyness has turned into straight social phobia. I think about suicide sometimes because I feel useless and can't even talk to anyone I don't know and can't have a normal conversation without it being awkward and wanting to just run away from the situation. And then I think about how I went through high school with barely ever talking to girls and never had a girlfriend. I don't even know how I made friends in school it was a damn miracle. I just wish I could talk to other humans beings I don't know without my nervousness, awkwardness, and anxiety showing.
Don’t worry one day you’ll be able to talk to others without your anxiety or shyness in the way because I’m also shy and quiet and there are times where I feel like I’m making other people around me uncomfortable so I attend to avoid interactions with anyone but one day you’ll be to talk to people it may slow and it may not be a quick process but you can do it cause you are an awesome person
The best thing to do is accept who you are. just look each day 1time in the mirror and say you are important and you matter. do not listen to much to what your brain says when it trys to talk you down or what others will think ,you are not your thoughts thats what you gotta remember do not take them to serious. Talking to people that are important to you with what you struggle and how you feel also helps alot. Its not a sign of weakness or anything to show yourself hurt it takes alot of courage to do it and makes you only stronger. Its your life you are in control of yoursellf not some one else. you are important and you matter.
i would say talk to a professional my man. i was going through the same exact thing as you are, and i even dropped out of college because of it. i went to a therapist and eventually found out that i had social anxiety and adhd. they started giving me medication and more counseling and now it’s like the world is opening up to me. don’t lose hope, you’re not useless!! some people just need some extra help and that’s ok :)
That was the number one song that helped me through my teenage years. Now as an adult, I love hearing it whenever I’m sad as well as it has never lost its power in cheering me up 🥺😌
I was born in 2000, glad I am where I am but I claim the late 90s and early 2000s as my era of music. The rest of my generation can keep mumble rap. Rihanna and Ariana Grande make some ok music though.
Was told to take a listen to this by my mom; her boyfriend had told her to have me listen to it, that he dedicated it to me. I cannot stop crying, I am so happy. I honestly do not know this man well enough to call him anything other than my mom's boyfriend, but he couldn't mean less than a father figure for me. He supports me and he understands what I am going through somewhat. Thank you, Lee, for dedicating this song to me and for making me laugh and feel warm in times when I needed them most.
To Anyone Reading This, Wherever You Are, Whatever Your Going Through, Know That Everything Will Be Fine, And No Matter What, You Are Strong And You Can Get Through It, DON'T TAKE THE EASY WAY OUT! Just Do Your Best, Try Everything You Can! It Dosn't Matter What The Bitter Hearts, Are Gonna Say!
I'm going through heroin detox right now and it's by far the most difficult thing I've ever had to do. I just want to give up. I just want to get some more so I can have a second of peace from this Hell. Thank you for your comment, it actually gave me that bit of motivation to keep going through this awful experience instead of getting more and just taking the easy way out.
I love this song because of the message it conveys. So many "artists" nowadays sing about nothing but breakups, or killing people, or how "oh woe is me, no one knows how bad life is for me." This song, on the other hand, tells people that your self-worth shouldn't be based upon other people's perceptions of you. THAT'S why this song is so much better than what people are putting out and listening to today.
Been alone for a long time and always rejected by girls lost all my friends due to drama and this song just helps especially the lyric “you know their all the same” and “your doing better on your own” just amazing lyrics
Are all guys the same? No? Neither are girls. I really don’t think that’s the message you’re supposed to get from the song. However, it is really good to be happy on your own and happy with yourself. I only bother commenting because I hate seeing guys travel the incel path and become bitter angry men who hate women. Women are just people. Some are good, some are bad. Some are vain and mean, some are kind and cool. Be the kind of person that you would want to be with, and if you want, you will find someone great.
I also want to add, that if you only look for a girl based on her looks, then expect her to only have her looks to offer. Shallow guys deserve shallow girls.
I wanna dedicate this to my friend Jess. She's on the run and has gone missing from her family and friends. She's been struggling with feeling left out and looked down on too so I hope she hears this song one day soon and remembers that it takes time and that She's just in the middle of a storm and that it's never to late. And lastly hope she believes it when she hears that everything is gonna be alright!💯❤️💔❤️🩹💖🙏 Plz God Protect her and bring her Home finally!!! Amen
It's crazy that this song is 20 years old, but it's still ahead of its time and timeless. Was hooked when I heard it the first time back in 2002 as a 16 year old who was only trying to fit in, this song was perfect for me
+Will S. Rob Schneider was a stapler. Then he was a carrot. Then derr durpa doo. But now, Rob Schneider is... The Reject! Rob Schneider will learn that high school is tougher than it looks!

For someone who has had anxiety for 10 years, self essteem issues for 3, and have many people abandon than help me. This song has helped me more than any human being I have had the pleasure of meeting.
this song just has always given me a sense of security, reminding me to never quit, that I am not alone when I am going through something and that there is always someone there to help me through any situation.
i don't usually talk about this, but i started listening to this when i was 12 (im 18 now). when i was that age my pos "father" molested me, and this song saved me, along with 21 guns by green day. so ik what u mean.
I'd like to dedicate this song to my niece's. they live in the ghetto of southside chicago, their mom is in rehab for the 2nd time. they're only 11 and 13. life will get better. I just hope they stay on the straight and narrow.
This comment reminded me of the show 'Shameless' and this song is my theme song for my show and the family on there (including another family on the show) I really hope things do get better. I used to live with other families in Cleveland Ohio and I was only fed hotdogs (I was also raped and I don't remember having a bed) and now I have an eating disorder and acid reflux :/ this song I dedicate to you, 'that show' and me. Things get better even if it seems impossible at that moment :3
omg hello middle school the funny thing is I might not still be here without songs like these. that makes me scared, it makes me happy about the power of music, but mostly it makes me cry when I listen to this. and everything is just fine :')
i can't put into words how good these words in this song make me feel. it's like, on a rollercoaster, when your at the bottom of the bump, there's no way to go but up.
Golden Phoenix Meh, it's a good drinking game. Just browse their website and take a shot every time they bring up Israel, Muslims, trump, and feminism. My record was eight minutes.
I have had such bad anxiety my whole life this song repeating in my head helps make me level and feel better. Fuck if its considered stupid pop punk shit. I still love this song.
My teacher thinks I'm just worthless aswell and is just stupid cause My brain doesn't function aswell as others when maths comes along I feel depressed a lot :(
I’ve always thought and believed this was a song to be played at parks, skateboarding parks, arcades, bowling alleys or just hanging out with your friends on a bright sunny summer afternoon! Especially since this song has such a fun and positive atmosphere!! 😊😁😄 Even today almost 20 years after I heard it for the first time in 2003 when I was 10, I still believe it.
@@anitahailey753 Completely forgot about this comment! I wish RUclips had a better notification system! I've since graduated with honors. COVID kinda derailed my career/transition into post-school life but I'm working on it.
Heard this in the store today and was taken way back to the early 2000s. This song just completely encompasses that time period. I never realized how uplifting this song was until now. I could barely understand a word they were saying listening to this in 2001/2002 at 12-years-old lol
After reading the comments, I say this; this a sing that no matter how old you are , it gives you a " jump start!" This came out when I was in my 30s . Loved it then! I'm in my 50s. Still love it! When I see a band in a bar playing covers and NEAR this, I go up and request it! Great song! Great video as well! The girl over his right shoulder in the red bottoms has some pretty cool moves too!!
my dad used to sing me this song and put it on the radio. i never knew the lyrics or what it meant but now that i do it means so much more. so thanks i guess, dad. :)
So needed to hear this as I rode to the doctor's office. It's funny how you be around certain ppl and they either tell you certain things that fit what your dealing with in a particular situation with words of advice, or play a song of inspiration to motivate. Dedicated to all of those who said it can't be done, screw you!
as a kid growing up in 97 - 2001 my step dad would play this song on guitar and I'd always mishear the lyrics as "put in a little appoo rye" instead of middle of the ride lol
This song is honestly so reassuring? It feels like its just singing directly to you. Its comforting.
I agree
Purpleoctopie I know!! I always cry to it because I wish someone would say something like this to me and it feels like someone’s telling me all this

This is such a timeless song. Was like 11-12 when this came out, now I'm a grown ass 32yr old man and I still listen to this when my depression starts getting to deep.
Remember y'all. Everything will be just fine, it just takes some time ❤
sums up music from the early 2000s to 2008
Exactly
I'm going on a fucking trip through my middle school years with these songs right now. It's uncanny.

Remember when shows were good and no one gave a fuck about anything Skating was the only sport we cared about back when there was no racism for a bit yup that 2008 and also EVERYBODY wanted to be in a Band
+Zero Cooper 2008 was a very racist year that was when obama got elected
When I was 11, my brother made me listen to this song, and I really liked it. I didn't speak English very well back then, as English is not my first language, so I didn't understand a word of it, but I enjoyed listening to it.
Now, 5 years later, dealing with my Social Anxiety, I decided to listen to it again as it just came by on youtube. Right now, I am sitting here, tears in my eyes from relating to this song. It helps me a great deal.
I have social anxiety as well and I know how u feel so yeah, this song REALLY helps :)
Definitely one of the best songs ever written.
When I was a teenager my main thing was music. How I communicated moods, feelings, etc. My dad picked up on this, and I was going through a real rough time, so he wanted to find the perfect song to tell me it would be ok. He spent hours at harmony house listening to different songs (via my friend that worked at our regular store) until he found this one and said it was perfect. He bought me the album and showed me the song, and now, whenever I'm having a really rough go and this song comes on on the radio or on streaming, I remember him and how much he just wanted me to know I'd be ok. He died when I was 19, and my life has been really rough without him, but I feel a little better that my dad is telling me I'll be ok eventually, even after he's gone.
Epiphany moment! I have heard this song for years but never listened to the lyrics. I needed this more than anything at this point in my life for perspective.
John W. Browning I completely understand and feel where you're coming from.
I know EXACTLY where you are coming from. 😢
Hey that's exactly what happened to me right now. :')
Same here guys. Was driving to college in the pouring rain after quitting a dead end job I had for 5 years, this hit me right in the feels.@@coral4543
John W. Browning I feel that so much rn listening to songs is way better than hearing songs

I suffer anxiety, specifically social anxiety and it's giving me mild depression. This song made me feel better. I guess it will just take some time till my anxieties will go away. I thought it was just shyness when I was little and that's what everyone would say but it has never gone away and the shyness has turned into straight social phobia. I think about suicide sometimes because I feel useless and can't even talk to anyone I don't know and can't have a normal conversation without it being awkward and wanting to just run away from the situation. And then I think about how I went through high school with barely ever talking to girls and never had a girlfriend. I don't even know how I made friends in school it was a damn miracle. I just wish I could talk to other humans beings I don't know without my nervousness, awkwardness, and anxiety showing.
Don’t worry one day you’ll be able to talk to others without your anxiety or shyness in the way because I’m also shy and quiet and there are times where I feel like I’m making other people around me uncomfortable so I attend to avoid interactions with anyone but one day you’ll be to talk to people it may slow and it may not be a quick process but you can do it cause you are an awesome person
The best thing to do is accept who you are. just look each day 1time in the mirror and say you are important and you matter. do not listen to much to what your brain says when it trys to talk you down or what others will think ,you are not your thoughts thats what you gotta remember do not take them to serious. Talking to people that are important to you with what you struggle and how you feel also helps alot. Its not a sign of weakness or anything to show yourself hurt it takes alot of courage to do it and makes you only stronger. Its your life you are in control of yoursellf not some one else. you are important and you matter.
Id recommend the book How to win friends and influence people. Dale carnegie. Its helped me a bit.
My guy everyone’s going through the same thing. Some people are just better at hiding it
i would say talk to a professional my man. i was going through the same exact thing as you are, and i even dropped out of college because of it. i went to a therapist and eventually found out that i had social anxiety and adhd. they started giving me medication and more counseling and now it’s like the world is opening up to me. don’t lose hope, you’re not useless!! some people just need some extra help and that’s ok :)
That was the number one song that helped me through my teenage years. Now as an adult, I love hearing it whenever I’m sad as well as it has never lost its power in cheering me up 🥺😌
I wish I was a teenager in the early 2000's.
I was born in 2000, glad I am where I am but I claim the late 90s and early 2000s as my era of music. The rest of my generation can keep mumble rap. Rihanna and Ariana Grande make some ok music though.
@@jgibson7893 Ariana Grande is pretty shit ngl

Hang in there dudes!!
Was told to take a listen to this by my mom; her boyfriend had told her to have me listen to it, that he dedicated it to me. I cannot stop crying, I am so happy. I honestly do not know this man well enough to call him anything other than my mom's boyfriend, but he couldn't mean less than a father figure for me. He supports me and he understands what I am going through somewhat. Thank you, Lee, for dedicating this song to me and for making me laugh and feel warm in times when I needed them most.
How are you guys doing?
@@ILoveWomenXoXo We're doing good! Thank you for asking!

I'm going through heroin detox right now and it's by far the most difficult thing I've ever had to do. I just want to give up. I just want to get some more so I can have a second of peace from this Hell. Thank you for your comment, it actually gave me that bit of motivation to keep going through this awful experience instead of getting more and just taking the easy way out.
Thank you so much I’ve been going through tough times and at times I feel like giving up but your comment really helps😇💞😁🥺
I LOVE YOU
Why Are You Typing Like This?
THIS SONG HAS BEEN STUCK IN MY HEAD FOR DAYS!! AGHH I LOVE IT!!
OMG YOU HAVE IT LUCKY ITS BEEN STUCK IN MY HEAD FOR YEARSSS;)
ITS OKAY, EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT..
I know right? It's been stuck in my head on and off all day.
I love this song because of the message it conveys. So many "artists" nowadays sing about nothing but breakups, or killing people, or how "oh woe is me, no one knows how bad life is for me." This song, on the other hand, tells people that your self-worth shouldn't be based upon other people's perceptions of you. THAT'S why this song is so much better than what people are putting out and listening to today.
*as soon as the guitar started playing* welp this is going in my playlist that's still everygrowing
appearently you can like ur own comment XD
This song: encouraging me to keep living since 2002. I remember being 8 years old and crying to it.
+The Great Papyrus some people are like that. Depression and suicidal thoughts can start almost scarily early...
This was made in 2007
NinB Cambridge Are you new to RUclips? Welcome. This video was posted in 2007, the song was released in 2001.
+Katelyn Marsh it hit me when I was 5
+NinB Cambridge get wrecked
Been alone for a long time and always rejected by girls lost all my friends due to drama and this song just helps especially the lyric “you know their all the same” and “your doing better on your own” just amazing lyrics
Are all guys the same? No? Neither are girls. I really don’t think that’s the message you’re supposed to get from the song. However, it is really good to be happy on your own and happy with yourself.
I only bother commenting because I hate seeing guys travel the incel path and become bitter angry men who hate women. Women are just people. Some are good, some are bad. Some are vain and mean, some are kind and cool. Be the kind of person that you would want to be with, and if you want, you will find someone great.
I also want to add, that if you only look for a girl based on her looks, then expect her to only have her looks to offer. Shallow guys deserve shallow girls.
Stay the course,meet someone on your road.We only get lost on someone else's 🛣
I wanna dedicate this to my friend Jess. She's on the run and has gone missing from her family and friends. She's been struggling with feeling left out and looked down on too so I hope she hears this song one day soon and remembers that it takes time and that She's just in the middle of a storm and that it's never to late. And lastly hope she believes it when she hears that everything is gonna be alright!💯❤️💔❤️🩹💖🙏
Plz God Protect her and bring her Home finally!!! Amen
Did she come home? 😢
Ey dude! I hope Jess has come around and is in a much better mental place than a year ago. All the best to her! 🎉
I FLIPPING LOVE THIS SONG

This reminds me of some people who were arrested for selling avocado illegally lmfao 😂crazy world
Thank you, Avocado! It means a lot to us!
I used to listen to this all the time in P. E. since kindergarten! I've loved this song since then. So nostalgic.

I saw your username and had to say "hi. Im a girl and I have a face" 😂😂
o shit waddup!
o my god is dat boi
My gosh, I never knew dat boi had such good taste in music >w>
It's crazy that this song is 20 years old, but it's still ahead of its time and timeless. Was hooked when I heard it the first time back in 2002 as a 16 year old who was only trying to fit in, this song was perfect for me
It ain't a generic movie about teenage kids in high school unless it has this song in it.

Rob Schneider was a stapler. Then he was a carrot. Then derr durpa doo. But now, Rob Schneider is... The Reject! Rob Schneider will learn that high school is tougher than it looks! Featuring the musical genius of Jimmy Eat World... and no-one else! Rob Schneider is... The Reject! Rated PG-13!

I can listen to this song 50x a day and it never gets old

Highschool..
Yup...

Ah yeah man.
Best part though: band.
And middle school
lol elementary or middle school for me.
Shawn Johnson Middle school..first year..
this song is the best nostalgic song ever
our generation is changing and this song helps us remember to stay focused on good
For someone who has had anxiety for 10 years, self essteem issues for 3, and have many people abandon than help me. This song has helped me more than any human being I have had the pleasure of meeting.
This song saves me every time.... Thank the artists for understanding when it feels like no one else does.
This was my best friend’s favorite song. His life was ended by someone texting while driving. I still miss you, Kyle! 🥲
This just the most iconic feel song to make ya happy
First time ever hearing this, and honestly it helps with life so much. I'll always remember it. Thank you Jimmy Eat World
this song just has always given me a sense of security, reminding me to never quit, that I am not alone when I am going through something and that there is always someone there to help me through any situation.
My band director has us playing this song at the football game... It brings back memories...
This has such a good meaning. I always listen to this whenever I’m feeling depressed and then I get some chocolate ice cream.
this song hits perfectly when you’re a severely traumatized 12 year old
i don't usually talk about this, but i started listening to this when i was 12 (im 18 now). when i was that age my pos "father" molested me, and this song saved me, along with 21 guns by green day. so ik what u mean.
@@wentztrisler6432 thats messed up.. hope ur alright now..
15, but you’re right.
I may not be 12 but some crazy shit happened to me and all I can say is I freaking agree this song is amazing for these kinds of situations
Or 14 with depression
I'd like to dedicate this song to my niece's. they live in the ghetto of southside chicago, their mom is in rehab for the 2nd time. they're only 11 and 13. life will get better. I just hope they stay on the straight and narrow.
This comment reminded me of the show 'Shameless' and this song is my theme song for my show and the family on there (including another family on the show) I really hope things do get better. I used to live with other families in Cleveland Ohio and I was only fed hotdogs (I was also raped and I don't remember having a bed) and now I have an eating disorder and acid reflux :/ this song I dedicate to you, 'that show' and me. Things get better even if it seems impossible at that moment :3
omg hello middle school
the funny thing is I might not still be here without songs like these. that makes me scared, it makes me happy about the power of music, but mostly it makes me cry when I listen to this.
and everything is just fine :')
don't cry. smile in the face of the world and show it you are the better one. it's the best way to live life.
Same
wow you're cringe
Woah I haven't heard this for ages ( nostalgia hits me like a tidal wave)
XD same here! I totally forgot about this song until I heard it on the radio recently and I just felt the nostalgia hit me hard.
i can't put into words how good these words in this song make me feel. it's like, on a rollercoaster, when your at the bottom of the bump, there's no way to go but up.
I forgot I even knew this song, well least I remember it c:
same here...
I think I've been on CNN for a bit too long if I thought the title said The Middle East for a second.

Golden Phoenix Meh, it's a good drinking game. Just browse their website and take a shot every time they bring up Israel, Muslims, trump, and feminism. My record was eight minutes.
Feels like High school again whenever I listen to this
Whats your cycle brah
This song is one of the few reasons im still living. Not only is it a really good song, but it’s also a really uplifting song and the lyrics SLAP
I really needed to see this comment. I really did. Thank you. I know I’m not alone
SWAER TO GOD. MOM DIED AT 17 & THIS WAS HER SONG TO ME. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. I LOVE YOU.
I have had such bad anxiety my whole life this song repeating in my head helps make me level and feel better. Fuck if its considered stupid pop punk shit. I still love this song.
Same. I have social anxiety and this song helps alot.
Me too!
You're not alone man!

yes such a good movie
YES I love that movie
Maybe a remake or something
But the movie was seriously underrated
What?
I love that movie
OMG YOU WATCHED IT TOO?! Its my favourite movie!
I’ve always thought and believed this was a song to be played at parks, skateboarding parks, arcades, bowling alleys or just hanging out with your friends on a bright sunny summer afternoon! Especially since this song has such a fun and positive atmosphere!! 😊😁😄 Even today almost 20 years after I heard it for the first time in 2003 when I was 10, I still believe it.
I was new to college and I was having a really bad day. I considered dropping out. Then this song came on the radio. Thanks, God!
+Spotted Hyena Bruh....I'm with ya. This song def puts things in perspective!
I hope everything turned out okay. I feel the same way rn about school. But I guess it’ll turn okay
@@anitahailey753 Completely forgot about this comment! I wish RUclips had a better notification system! I've since graduated with honors. COVID kinda derailed my career/transition into post-school life but I'm working on it.
Heard this in the store today and was taken way back to the early 2000s. This song just completely encompasses that time period. I never realized how uplifting this song was until now. I could barely understand a word they were saying listening to this in 2001/2002 at 12-years-old lol
this song got me through high school

You posted this twice..
I’m graduating this year and yep this song is helping a lot idk how tho .

Famous Ramus22 I will bro 😔👌
After reading the comments, I say this; this a sing that no matter how old you are , it gives you a " jump start!" This came out when I was in my 30s . Loved it then! I'm in my 50s. Still love it! When I see a band in a bar playing covers and NEAR this, I go up and request it! Great song! Great video as well! The girl over his right shoulder in the red bottoms has some pretty cool moves too!!
Cannot tell you how many times this song eased my thoughts. Also introduced me to a radical band!
my dad used to sing me this song and put it on the radio. i never knew the lyrics or what it meant but now that i do it means so much more. so thanks i guess, dad. :)
It's only in your head you feel left out and looked down on...this is totally me
Agreed!!!!
Swear to god it sounds like a Scooby-Doo chase song
Omg it really does!
Definantly sounds like something to be in Scooby-Doo that's for sure
😂
Eduardo Chavez Lmao
Eduardo Chavez you just gave this a new twist
This song never fails to cheer me up. It feels like an older brother is talking to me
So needed to hear this as I rode to the doctor's office. It's funny how you be around certain ppl and they either tell you certain things that fit what your dealing with in a particular situation with words of advice, or play a song of inspiration to motivate. Dedicated to all of those who said it can't be done, screw you!
as a kid growing up in 97 - 2001 my step dad would play this song on guitar and I'd always mishear the lyrics as "put in a little appoo rye" instead of middle of the ride lol
ok good so im not the only one who thought that too
