"I got so tired of discussing my future that I walk through my life like I'm the only one with evenings of silence and mornings of nausea. Shake and sweat and I can't throw up." This is such a beautiful line.
Lotta joke replies here, but real-talk: this song captures my struggles with drug and alcohol abuse and their intersection with feelings of inadequacy and depression better than any other song. And because of that, this song will always be amazing for me. Even from the beginning, the lyrics resonate on an all to real basis like, "I feel amazing when I'm all alone / ... / turned off the cellphone, drank a bottle". The number of times I've just wanted to get shitfaced alone and forget everything are innumerable. And after enough times doing that shit you just want to shut off everything tying you to to world -- especially your phone. The next lines hit even harder: " Passed out naked, shriveling, stumbled / to bed in a fucked up sleepwalk" -- what drunk doesn't resonate with that all to frequent reality? The chorus applied to me more when I was younger and struggling to graduate college, but I'm still dealing with the same shit of avoiding the people I love, always accompanied with, "Evenings of silence and mornings of nausea" -- despite having achieved the "future" I thought I was always chasing. The next run of the chorus adds a couple other lines that hit hard too: "Shake and sweat and I can’t throw up" furthers the bleak imagery of being an alcoholic and "I walk through my life like I’m the only one" captures the unwanted but inevitable isolation addiction brings. Verse 3 is probably the most heartbreaking for me, because I've been there soooo many times. You clean, workout -- even order a healthy meal -- but you still can't deal with/face those you love the most. The bitter irony being you know these are the folks that love you too and could help you, but you just can't. This usually led to the next bender for me. I can't know fully what Jeff was thinking when writing this song but I'm so glad he did. I'm trying to get sober and better but it's a struggle, and some days are better than others. All I know is whenever I can't explain to a friend or a loved one the things I feel I tell them to listen to this song and pay close attention to the lyrics because it puts words to my feelings and actions better than I ever could. This song (and whole album) kick ass and I'm so glad it exists.
My dude, keep fighting bro. Going through the same shit rn, but you really gotta want to feel happier. Just take it day by day. Each day do a little more than the day before, even if you're feeling like you don't want to. Afterwards you'll feel much better.
I know this song is more geared to alcohol and drug addictions, but living with generalized anxiety and depression since before I can even remember, this captures so many of the feelings I've experienced. When I get particularly overwhelmed, I tend to shut people out. When I went to college, my mom and I agreed that I would give her a warning first so she atleast knew I was safe, so I simply texted her a GIF of some cartoon that said "going ghost" and that was my way of letting her know I loved her, I was safe, and that I had some stuff I needed to work through alone. Friends and family can be great, but all the constant pressure is just too much. "When are you getting married, are you applying for a promotion, when will you buy a house, when will you have a baby...". Tired of saying "idk" on repeat. The more people ask me, the more I want to hide and be alone.
Went to a Joyce Manor concert recently and saw Jeff Rosenstock live as well. This song has been stuck in my head ever since. Super fucking awesome performer live. The guy went crowd surfing while playing the saxophone!!!
i’ve seen joyce manor 5 times now, but i also saw jeff rosenstock when they went on tour with Joyce Manor. Remember sports was the opening act on that tour. crazy how the crowd went from chill to fucking chaos after they finished LOL
@@dejiko I had mostly been listening to Will Wood and obscure psychedelic pop, but Spotify’s daily playlists are handing me tons of folk punk as well as this song.
"I got so tired of discussing my future, I started avoiding the people I love" Amazing line, exactly how it was for me and I'm sure many people. When you're in the depths it can feel natural to hide away from the very people who could help pull you up out of the muck and mire of your mind. Amazing song jeff, you speak to a lot of people
Every bad point in my life has a sound track that got me through one day I discovered we cool? And Jeff rosenstock always be thankful hell of an artist very underrated I still listen today
So you know how a lot of music videos have that comment that says "this song got me through some tough times"? Here's the one for this song. This song got me through a really shitty year last year with the line "I've got so tired of discussing my future, started avoiding the people I love". Won't go into detail as nobody here would give two shits but it was cool to hear a line that resonated with me so much an made me feel less on my own. Cheers Jeff.
Heard this song for the first time about a month ago and it’s always going in my head. Sometimes I feel like we are meant to hear things at just the right time and for me this song feels like that. Thanks for the message! It’s a great song
So I found this song like last September when some band video recommended Jeff Rosenstock as a good band. I loved it. But then it stopped popping up in RUclips feed. And I never listened to it on Spotify. And I got a new phone so I couldn't pull up the message I sent to a friend about this band. I went on Google "music video where they puke rainbows". Nothing. Hope was lost. Couldn't find the original video that recommended it. Couldn't remember the band name. Couldn't remember any lyrics (I'm notoriously bad with lyrics). After like 6 months of this driving me crazy on a regular basis, I was able to check my old phone that I still had (should have fucking just done that from the beginning, but I mean, it wasn't charged, and who wants to wait?), I found it. And now they're quickly becoming one of my favorite bands. And this song is just amazing.
Been listening to this song for a few years now. It is a bop for sure. Then you listen deeper. If you have addiction issues, it hit so deep. I can listen to this song in all moods and it works. I have definitely cried a lot to this song
Yep this is my life. I have been listening to this for years but this was before the Periodic vomiting spells, Malaise nonstop, Massive [officially diagnosed] depression, alcoholism, etc... I don't talk to friends or family as often as I can, or should. Periods of entertainment and forgetting I hate myself, via moving pictures, and pleasing sounds. But all the while, this song does have an uplifting cadence. So while we are all struggling and feeling like we are dying inside... well the fact that we are still here means there is something left in us.
meet jeff at a concert in Houston,Tx many years ago was in 6th grade introduced him to my exchange student from Argentina. True story never been to the club again in was so shitty
I like to go to the woods or really any place without people and start screaming this song all on my own, it's a good stress reliever. You'll look a little crazy but no one's around to judge, and if you like Jeff you're already in crazy company, join the club, the water's fine! P.S. I used to play sax but switched to flute so now I'm figuring out some riffs to play over the bridge to prove flute is just as good, haha.
I survived childhood. I hope that I'm the last person ever cursed with the name "jacob." Please learn from the past's errors. By that, I mean in a not emotionally attached sense. Rather, just... ---------------- This boat just tips over because it's top heavy with problems. Let go of self desires and endeavors and be quietly, calmly abstract because it ain't going anywhere. Enjoy the view and don't get involved because this about sums it up.
my best friend moved away this song reminds me of him. I feel so sad every time i listen to it. I somehow knew that those years were the best of my life. and now ill never get them back. Danny if youre reading this, yes im talking about you and yes im drunk. Remember that night at checkers lol?
I love this guy. I don't know if his music is really just THAT good or if it's only hitting me in all the right places (read: lyrics) at this point my life
I often think about the time I saw Jeff live. I didn't know who he was, my friend loved him though so we went, stood at the front at call the office in London, I spent most the show pushing some kid away from my friend and after the show we met Jeff. My friend all ecstatic to meet him and me "hey that was actually pretty good" and he looked confused. Good show, actually pretty good show.
Whenever I listen to ASOB I find it hard to believe the same guy who wrote Three Cheers For Disappointment also wrote all this shit. Thanks for all the music that struggled with me throughout my formative years Jeff. I love you and your music more than is socially acceptable. I also appreciate how a professional like yourself dies on set but continues the music.
I love this song and the music video is even better. I don't know if I've enjoyed a music video this much since the 70s recording of William shatner doing rocket man
At the bottom of the screen in the beginning: "Why are you reading this it's too small. I mean come on man, you're going to fuck up your vision. Well OK. Keep reading. I had hummus and carrots while I was writing this. Why not pay me a visit? 61 Greenpoint Ave #509 - Come on by and ask for Bryan. I'll buy you a beer or a rootbeer. Actually yeah, I'm not doing anything on Tuesday. Just come on by. Yeah there's a pizza place next door too - but the pizza sucks. Heard any good jokes lately? I haven't. I had spaghetti for dinner last night. It was ok - Just vegetables, not vegan. Is the square root of -1 an imaginary number? if you can imagine it, isn't it not imaginary? I also had Blue Bottle Coffee today, but it was in a percolator so it wasn't that good. if Drake wins a Grammy, I'll eat my had. Just kidding. If I did, I'd need to wash it."
r.i.p. your eyeballs. I wonder if anyone actually went to go visit this bryan fellow lmao. I googled the address and like jesus christ i thought the boston area was bad rent-wise. (it still is, but not as much.)
This video has always reminded me of PUP's video for Reservoir, and now they're on tour with this artist. Better yet, I'm seeing them with Modern Baseball, Tiny Moving Parts, and Superweaks tomorrow for my birthday

Listen to his Bomb The Music Industry albums.
Jeff Rosenstock changed my life, great songs, love this ❤

Aghhh that’s so cool dude! I can’t imagine how awesome that musta been
Personally I believe that in terms of music and songwriting ,anything that is touched by Jeff turns into gold. Just wanted everyone to know that.
Spotify may underpay artists and uncomfortably monitor its users, but it’s on point with recommendations.
Spotify also brought you here? Interesting, we must have similar musical tastes

I feel you Sir McPoopington VII Jr and I’m glad you’re here
I just discovered this song and I’m obsessed with it.
Same lol
🤢🤮
Pure raw emotion and 20s angst, amazing.
I love this, at least that's how I perceive it.
This song makes me cry. Alcoholism is hell
Going through an extremely rough period in my life right now. Thanks for making it a little more bearable, Jeff
We Cool? is probably going to be the best thing of 2015.
So far... So good, my friend!
you should checkout worry - 2017
Funny thing is, you don’t need to be alcoholic to live the painful life written in the lyrics.😢
It helps
Heard this song for the first time about a month ago and it’s always going in my head. Sometimes I feel like we are meant to hear things at just the right time and for me this song feels like that. Thanks for the message! It’s a great song
First time Jeff's had abs in probably 10 years. Can't wait for the 3rd
Looking forward to seeing you in London in April!!
My first and favorite rosenstock song
Finally hit a million views, so deserved

Nice to hear that there are other people from Argentina that may have listened to Jeff's music, i love his lyrics.

Masterpiece. Without a doubt.
This is the one of the weirdest music videos I have ever watched. I love it.
Saw these guys in Chicago last night. If you ever get the chance to see them live, do it.
My life changed when I first heard this song
the only words in the first verse i could understand first time i listened to this were "porn and robocop"

Checking in on say that 9+ years later this still goes
and this is why Jeff Rosenstock is always bumming me out.
Saw these guys open up in Denver. Fantastic show. In fact got me back into playing music.
I get nauseous thinking about how good this song is.
longarmsshow yooo
Literally the best music video and song ever
Probably the greatest music video of 2015.
Jeff Rosenstock is so underrated ngl
I love this guy. I don't know if his music is really just THAT good or if it's only hitting me in all the right places (read: lyrics) at this point my life
idk why I like this so much
bomb the music industry lives on
Months before this song came out I saw Jeff at a Laura Stevenson show and asked him about his future. I wonder...
Flcl1080 lmao
This song man.
Heeey that's pretty good
Relatable Anthem!
what an amazing song and video - this deserves way more plays
ufff, que personaje y agradable sujeto!!
this is great i cant wait for this album
This is my favorite song right now

On a serious note this song hits hard for me since I started college...
Damn Jeff how you get so ripped? You'll have to give me some pointers
Eat lots of tacos.
I'd imagine with a little movie magic little Dan B. You's gone be okay kid
CAN'T WAIT FOR SHOW. NEEDS TO BE NEAR THE END OF MARCH NOW. NEED TO DANCE TO JEFF AND AJJ
