I'm 36 and this song still hits me hard; reminds me of my life in high school and how this album made me connect to so many people. Music feeds the soul.
2024 and I’m here really feeling the crushing feeling of getting older and missing the days of being front row of these shows every summer living like kings. Now I share my love of these bands with my kids who I hope carry the torch for the screamo bands.
If it gives you any hope, my 14 year old is super into the old emo/screamo/hard-core bands I loved, and has introduced me to some new ones! And now we go to front rows of these concerts as a family and I love it so much! May you be just as lucky ❤
@@Majorkip i’m not talking about when the song came out, lol. i’m literally talking about how it says 15 years ago as when the video was uploaded to youtube. The fact that it’s been 15 yrs since this video was uploaded to youtube is wild.
I wasn't prepared for the emotional hit of listening to this as a 30 year old after I adored it as a 14-15 year old. I was in a really bad place mentally then and it's quite amazing that they still make me feel the way they made me feel all those years ago. Powerful music that people are always going to need.
Ill make you feel a little better, my heyday was in the 80’s and 90’s from punk to the alternative movement…now i was in my early 30’s when the Emo movement began and i loved it! I am 52 now but i still go to the skate park with both my kids that are 18/20 yrs old and we listen to all the emo bands and alternative bands! To this day i still skate to this and surf! This music will never get old it just gets better!!!
I remember beeing a teenager listening to this band, hoobastank, linkin park, breaking benjamin, evanescensce, yellowcard, sum41 etc. It was a great era of music these years 2002-2006 something. Then I don't know what the f* happened really.
For me, the music I identify with most came between the mid-90s and mid-2000s. But there's been a lot of amazing songs both before and since this era; just not on the radio as often.
The lyrics "from up here the city lights burn like a thousand miles of fire" is forever stuck in my head. Something special about it, unsettling yet beautiful, I keep coming back to the song because of it after so many years.
I'm going down a emo nostalgia hole. I knew I loved this song in middle school, but I could only remember "city lights burn like a... something something" and now I suddenly remember everything
The stars will cry The blackest tears tonight And this is the moment that I live for I can smell the ocean air And here I am Pouring my heart onto these rooftops Just a ghost to the world That's exactly Exactly what I need From up here the city lights burn Like a thousand miles of fire And I'm here to sing this anthem Of our dying day For a second I wish the tide Would swallow every inch of this city As you gasp for air tonight I'd scream this song right in your face If you were here Swear I won't miss a beat 'Cause I never Never have before From up here the city lights burn Like a thousand miles of fire And I'm here to sing this anthem Of our dying day Of our dying day Of our dying day Of our dying For a second I wish the tide Would swallow every inch of this city As you gasp for air tonight From up here the city lights burn Like a thousand miles of fire And I'm here to sing this anthem Of our dying day From up here the city lights burn Like a thousand miles of fire And I'm here to sing this anthem Of our dying day From up here the city lights burn Like a thousand miles of fire And I'm here to sing this anthem Of our dying day Our dying day Of our dying
Literally cried in the front row when they played this at the Brooklyn Bowl in Vegas this last weekend. Incredible band. Crazy energy for 1am. It’s a core memory for my sister and I, when we’d been dreaming of seeing them since Page Avenue.
Holy shit. I've been hunting this song down for over a decade. Had only vague remembrance of the lyrics/tune but I finally found it. I'd like to take this time t thank... myself.
June 30, 2020, amid the Coronavirus Pandemic. I'm 25, and I remember listening to this as a Freshman in High School. It gives such a nostalgic feeling, a feeling of days more gentle than today, something to look back fondly on.
Saw that show in Houston! We were in the nosebleed at the very side of the stage so I couldn’t hear crap. I can’t even remember if they played this or not. I remember the singer had a really emo haircut though hahaha!
Im 31 … mostly listen to rap/hip hop .. but back in the day i just used to watch videos all the time.. That’s how i know this song .. I miss those music video channels and shows:.
"Anthem Of Our Dying Day" The stars will cry The blackest tears tonight And this is the moment that I live for I can smell the ocean air And here I am Pouring my heart onto these rooftops Just a ghost to the world That's exactly Exactly what I need From up here the city lights burn Like a thousand miles of fire And I'm here to sing this anthem Of our dying day For a second I wish the tide Would swallow every inch of this city As you gasp for air tonight I'd scream this song right in your face If you were here I swear I won't miss a beat Cause I never Never have before From up here the city lights burn Like a thousand miles of fire And I'm here to sing this anthem Of our dying day Of our dying day Of our dying day Of our dying!!! For a second I wish the tide Would swallow every inch of this city And you gasp for air tonight!! From up here the city lights burn Like a thousand miles of fire And I'm here to sing this anthem Of our dying day From up here the city lights burn Like a thousand miles of fire And I'm here to sing this anthem Of our dying day From up here the city lights burn Like a thousand miles of fire And I'm here to sing this anthem Of our dying day Our dying day Of our dying!!!
I'm 55 and like my daughter says, I was raised an Emo mom. Just saw these guys in Chicago and this song was sooo powerful. Loved it!!!! Too bad they were cut short😢 but got to hear this song❤

Used to listen to this a lot last year when me and my baby’s mother broke up, my 3 year old daughter likes it so much now because I would always sing it. Family says I actually sing it pretty good so now I can’t go anywhere without my baby girl wanting me to play it on repeat. I’ll never get tired of it. She even makes her mom play it in her car when she’s missing me ❤️
I love this entire album since the guitar driven and melodic vocals are so thrilling to me as a guitarist and this song truly stands out as one of the best from SOTY.
This is nostalgia. I was 13 year old when this album coming out. Of course, first song what i hear was And the hero will drown - from NFS Underground, like many us, but this song is one of the best song ever. Anyway, album Page avenue is still with me, over 11 years. Many years back I listening it on mp3 player and now i still transmit this album from mp3 to next and next smartphones. Yeah, best music about year 2000. Enjoy the music and thumbs up for SOTY :)
Same. First song was And the Hero Will Drown from NFS Underground. That's when I was like 6 or 7 years old when I play that game. So much that I stayed on that song for many years that last year or 2, I decided to hear more songs from them. It's so damn worth hearing their song which are awesome to hear. Probably one of the best bands.
The stars will cry The blackest tears tonight And this is the moment that I live for I can smell the ocean air And here I am Pouring my heart onto these rooftops Just a ghost to the world That's exactly Exactly what I need [Chorus] From up here the city lights burn Like a thousand miles of fire And I'm here to sing this anthem Of our dying day For a second I wish the tide Would swallow every inch of this city As you gasp for air tonight I'd scream this song right in your face If you were here I swear I won't miss a beat Cause I never Never have before [Chorus: x3] Our dying day Of our dying!
Well, this takes me back to late high school early college years. Wasn't a huge fan of this style of singing but got into Story of the Year. And the guitarists are so good in this band.
When I moved into my college dorm during the summer of my freshman year in 2004, all the TVs in the common areas played MTV U, and this song was on once an hour that entire summer. Every time I hear this song it reminds me of walking to dinner with my friends, talking about where we were going to go that night. Good times. Glad I had them.
I remmember when i was 13... Now 33 and i still here, policeman, 1 kid, I think even when I'm 70 I'll still listen to these songs, Blink, greenday, LP, A7x, Creed, BBenjamin, The fray, The calling, Silverchair, Good charlot, My chermmical romance, Soasin, Story of the Year, TSTM, Yellowcard. 90' youth.
Revisiting some old Story of the Year jams from Page Avenue, a big album for me in highschool. A lot of the pop punk bands can be a little cringe, just like all things that age, but looking back you can’t deny the talent here. Every piece of the band is really going for it from the drums, guitar, lyrics, vocals and the production values and mixing are excellent as well. Maybe it’s a bit manufactured and over saturated for the time period, but it still stands on its own. I mean, it’s aged better than some of the other 2000s pop punk. Cheers.
Me and my girlfriend had our kid the year this came out. while we were still in college. We were barely out of our teens, now our daughter is going off to college, only 2 years younger than we were at the time. I remember walking by her room and hearing this, along with other Screamo rock, I was taken aback.
Funnily enough im not here for nostalgia. I actually only recently got into this type of music but i absolutely love it. What an incredible band! Shoutout to And The Hero Will Drown.
+Waltz i was the only one at my school who knew this song or even this band.. i asked a lot of people who knew them and i can only recall one kid ever saying they heard of them but couldn't even name a song.
First heard this song when i was on my ( OJT )on the job training in Davao. Year 2015. I was still 17 yrs old that time. Now it's 2022 and still love this song
I fly for a living, and 100% of the time I fly at night I sing to myself “From up here the city lights burn, like a thousand miles of fire… and it takes me back to my teenage years every time!
I have no idea who Roman Atwood is. I remember seeing SOTY on Taste of Chaos '06 w/ Thrice, Silverstein, Deftones, Atreyu, As I Lay Dying, and The Receiving End of Sirens. Crazy that it's been more than 10 years. Some young kids in this jawn.
I'm now 28 and a former emo. I remember rocking this song back when i was still 15-16. Though i cringe thinking back at it, i can't deny that i love this song and all other emo songs i've listened to back in the days.
kinda irrelevant but im 17 now and im emo, i always was but them i cut my hair everything and i never let the music taste go, im letting my hair grow again finally haha. i probably lost the best time to be emo but my i remember myself very young when my sis showed me this song when she was emo (she’s 27 now) and she still loves it both the songs and the style. Just like Willian said here, there isn’t a former emo, once emo always emo. 🤘🏻
I agree with you there's no such thing as former emo since i've returned here again. Only the cringe remains while thinking back of those tight black pants and the weird long hairs that covers the other side of the face and the excessive use of eyeliner 😂
When I Listen To This I Feel Like I'm In The Time Machine Going Back To My High School Days So Nostalgic Now I Have My Own Family And I Still Listening To This Gold Thank You
This song helped me grieve the loss of my father when I was 21 in 2009. Hearing it again now, brings back all the pain I went through, how I overcame it, how strong I am today
2024 and this song still hits hard!! I'm 33 and this song still is 🔥🔥🔥
34, right there with ya
Me too 33

I'm 36 as well. I remember being 16 and listening to this song and album everyday on repeat back in 2003.
37 still unmarried. But this song keeps me young. ❤
2024 and I’m here really feeling the crushing feeling of getting older and missing the days of being front row of these shows every summer living like kings. Now I share my love of these bands with my kids who I hope carry the torch for the screamo bands.
If it gives you any hope, my 14 year old is super into the old emo/screamo/hard-core bands I loved, and has introduced me to some new ones! And now we go to front rows of these concerts as a family and I love it so much! May you be just as lucky ❤
Teenage life. Now i am 28 years old, still feels the same when i listen to this song.. 💜💜❣️
Omg same this song got me through a lot back then and it is now
Totally, this song holds true since 04
I truly agree.
Same, 28 and counting.
Breaks my heart..
I'm 35 and I gotta say, this song STILL kicks ass! Reminds me of my childhood so much... much MUCH love from Western Massachusetts USA 🇺🇸

33 here, same.
33 in December
33 in 4 yrs from now
oh crap... that means i've been listening to this song for 16 years..
33.
seeing the “15 years ago” is mind blowing. 2006 feels so recent in a way. wow.
Crazy shit
this came out in 2003 lol. its older than youtube
@@Majorkip i’m not talking about when the song came out, lol. i’m literally talking about how it says 15 years ago as when the video was uploaded to youtube. The fact that it’s been 15 yrs since this video was uploaded to youtube is wild.
We are a dying breed my brother
Definitely man.
Woke up this morning in 2021 with these lyrics stuck in my head.
This is the anthem of my day now.
If I only knew how valuable this era was, I’d savor every moment while I was there.
Oh I know it.
You never see the best years of your life until they're gone
You'd swallow every inch of this city
You haven't savor it? Well, what if I tell you that NOW is also pretty good time and you will remember it when you get old and sick. Seize the day.
I wasn't prepared for the emotional hit of listening to this as a 30 year old after I adored it as a 14-15 year old. I was in a really bad place mentally then and it's quite amazing that they still make me feel the way they made me feel all those years ago. Powerful music that people are always going to need.
30 year old here born in 1993 XD
Dam I used to have Story of the year on repeat in 7th and 8th grade 2017(especially 8th grade lol) and the songs still feel good today 2023
31 here and still listens to this song now
36 yes and 😔
High School F****** Days! Im in my 30's right now and still rock'n to this song🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Same! 🖤🖤🤘🤘
Ill make you feel a little better, my heyday was in the 80’s and 90’s from punk to the alternative movement…now i was in my early 30’s when the Emo movement began and i loved it!

This music will never get old it just gets better!!!
This song reminds me of prom, girlfriends I forgot I had, AIM, dial-up internet, and a life I miss; one that I can't manage to find again.
Haha this is funny but so true! If we could only travel time...
lol i read "porn" instead of prom
No matter how hard we try...
Woah deep. Me too bro.
agreed wish it was 2003 again
2024 anybody?
Yeah
i m still here😢
👋
Yup
Of course
I remember beeing a teenager listening to this band, hoobastank, linkin park, breaking benjamin, evanescensce, yellowcard, sum41 etc. It was a great era of music these years 2002-2006 something. Then I don't know what the f* happened really.
want good music listen to sum 41 and 30 seconds to mars there still in that era but new 2002 - 2012 is their years
For me, the music I identify with most came between the mid-90s and mid-2000s. But there's been a lot of amazing songs both before and since this era; just not on the radio as often.
Zotar shit right
Second that
Right?
The lyrics "from up here the city lights burn like a thousand miles of fire" is forever stuck in my head. Something special about it, unsettling yet beautiful, I keep coming back to the song because of it after so many years.

You should check out touche amour tilde the lyrics are hauntingly beautiful

Exactly what I need
From up here the city lights burn
Like a thousand miles of fire
And I'm here to sing this anthem
Of our dying day
For a second I wish the tide

Never have before

Story of the Year-Anthem Of Our Dying Day
Back when Fuse was great and still aired Steven's Untitled Rock Show.
Hillary Dunkley Before Tower Records was played every day.
surs!!!
I loved Fuse back in the day. And Steven's Untitled rock Show FTW!
yea!!! that was back before music was free on utube
YESSSSSSSSS
Literally cried in the front row when they played this at the Brooklyn Bowl in Vegas this last weekend. Incredible band. Crazy energy for 1am. It’s a core memory for my sister and I, when we’d been dreaming of seeing them since Page Avenue.
Just seen this live for the first time a couple weeks ago at Reverb and they absolutely killed it. My favorite set of the night
Somewhere the 15 year old me is downloading music on lime wire, chatting on AIM and listening to this song. asl?
+Kyle Bordner 13/f/cali
Chris Hansen: you wanna tell me what you're doing here?
+Kyle Bordner Same here. Brazilian but I was living in the US close to those guys back then
+Kyle Bordner nice, haha I miss the lime wire days
Limewire great but the best way to give your computer aids.
+Kyle Bordner yup, same here that limewire and listening to purevolume for new bands. i
I don’t think most realize the impact this album had. This was the first post-hardcore album to go gold.
Just started watching all these videos of my childhood. Man, those were the good days!
Todays kids will never know how amazing this song felt back then. I know exactly where I was when I heard this song for the first time.
Uh- excuse me, 2010 kid and yet I have adored and grew up on this song, 2020 kids yes but 2000-2010 kids will always love this song
Holy shit. I've been hunting this song down for over a decade. Had only vague remembrance of the lyrics/tune but I finally found it. I'd like to take this time t thank... myself.
turning 32 in a few weeks played the shit out of this when I was 20, somethings never change... gives me all the same feelings.
Haha, same feelings here!
You have shit taste
+Kevan Thatcher You are not the defining word on music taste - music is subjective. Go fuck yourself.
+Kevan Thatcher Eat a fat one d-bag!
+Bob Whackett i hear him/her burning... .. that was brutal ... good one
June 30, 2020, amid the Coronavirus Pandemic.
I'm 25, and I remember listening to this as a Freshman in High School.
It gives such a nostalgic feeling, a feeling of days more gentle than today, something to look back fondly on.
I was in middle school when I first heard these guys. I too remember listening to them and I got nostalgia.
I’m 29
I'm 25, but i hear it first when i was in elementary.
I'm 35 years old and still listen to this song.
🤘💥
2023 December 30! Still listening to this amazing song.
🥹 memories! I’m 31 and this song 🎵 makes me feel in my teens again. Remember the first time I saw the video in the Fuse channel. 🥲
Very lucky to see this song LIVE in 2003 during their co- headling tour with Linkin Park and Hoobastank and P.O.D.
Saw the that year as well in little rock . Damn good tour
damn that’s a good lineup! 😍
Saw that show in Houston! We were in the nosebleed at the very side of the stage so I couldn’t hear crap. I can’t even remember if they played this or not. I remember the singer had a really emo haircut though hahaha!
Im 31 … mostly listen to rap/hip hop .. but back in the day i just used to watch videos all the time.. That’s how i know this song .. I miss those music video channels and shows:.
Who came here because they heard this song 10 years ago and wanted to fucking hear it again?
AND NOT BECAUSE OF SOME VLOG!!!!!!!!
+Tom Jones YES
👈👏👏👏👏
The same 😂😂😂
same haha

high school for me :-) Senior year

This is so good 🤘 but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” by SLT 🎸🎶 🎧🐺🔥
Listening to this song amid covid 19 pandemic.
John Amador ikr
Meeh 😂
Me
Who cares :/
2021?
Reminds me of my highschool days .. Senior year.. Around that time... Man I'm having a rush of nostalgia lately.
Red
+Orlok Tepes Dracula i'm having that same rush
+Orlok Tepes Dracula same feeling here, highschool days were the best :D
+Orlok Tepes Dracula absolutely the same man, I feel you. We even had a hardcore/alternative band and SOTY were a big inspiration.
Yea it's surviving you tubes purge these days.
Thank you Roman for giving this band some spot light, they deserve it.
Robert Longoria wtf? they've been around for years and people know who they are. they don't need Roman whoever the fuck that is to get some attention.
Used to listen to this a lot last year when me and my baby’s mother broke up, my 3 year old daughter likes it so much now because I would always sing it. Family says I actually sing it pretty good so now I can’t go anywhere without my baby girl wanting me to play it on repeat. I’ll never get tired of it. She even makes her mom play it in her car when she’s missing me ❤️
I love this entire album since the guitar driven and melodic vocals are so thrilling to me as a guitarist and this song truly stands out as one of the best from SOTY.
Take me back to when wearing etnies wide leg pants my independent shirts, world industries , spitfire etc and long hair man 04 was a good year
It was the best of times I wish I could go back.
thats the last stand of the bands that year and now they are all gone bcoz of this kpop and some shits songs that dont have a soul and meaning
This is nostalgia. I was 13 year old when this album coming out. Of course, first song what i hear was And the hero will drown - from NFS Underground, like many us, but this song is one of the best song ever. Anyway, album Page avenue is still with me, over 11 years. Many years back I listening it on mp3 player and now i still transmit this album from mp3 to next and next smartphones. Yeah, best music about year 2000. Enjoy the music and thumbs up for SOTY :)
Same. First song was And the Hero Will Drown from NFS Underground. That's when I was like 6 or 7 years old when I play that game. So much that I stayed on that song for many years that last year or 2, I decided to hear more songs from them. It's so damn worth hearing their song which are awesome to hear. Probably one of the best bands.
The stars will cry
The blackest tears tonight
And this is the moment that I live for
I can smell the ocean air
And here I am
Pouring my heart onto these rooftops
Just a ghost to the world
That's exactly
Exactly what I need
[Chorus]
From up here the city lights burn
Like a thousand miles of fire
And I'm here to sing this anthem

I'd scream this song right in your face
If you were here
I swear I won't miss a beat
Cause I never
Never have before
[Chorus: x3]
Our dying day
Of our dying!
Excellent!
Remember hearing this on my Walkman radio, I'd stay up for hours just to hear it in the early hours
Well, this takes me back to late high school early college years. Wasn't a huge fan of this style of singing but got into Story of the Year. And the guitarists are so good in this band.
2020 anyone? Can't let go of this good music.
When I moved into my college dorm during the summer of my freshman year in 2004, all the TVs in the common areas played MTV U, and this song was on once an hour that entire summer. Every time I hear this song it reminds me of walking to dinner with my friends, talking about where we were going to go that night. Good times. Glad I had them.
I remmember when i was 13... Now 33 and i still here, policeman, 1 kid, I think even when I'm 70 I'll still listen to these songs, Blink, greenday, LP, A7x, Creed, BBenjamin, The fray, The calling, Silverchair, Good charlot, My chermmical romance, Soasin, Story of the Year, TSTM, Yellowcard. 90' youth.
Revisiting some old Story of the Year jams from Page Avenue, a big album for me in highschool. A lot of the pop punk bands can be a little cringe, just like all things that age, but looking back you can’t deny the talent here. Every piece of the band is really going for it from the drums, guitar, lyrics, vocals and the production values and mixing are excellent as well. Maybe it’s a bit manufactured and over saturated for the time period, but it still stands on its own. I mean, it’s aged better than some of the other 2000s pop punk. Cheers.
Me and my girlfriend had our kid the year this came out. while we were still in college. We were barely out of our teens, now our daughter is going off to college, only 2 years younger than we were at the time. I remember walking by her room and hearing this, along with other Screamo rock, I was taken aback.
If you are still listening in this song youre a legend!
Yeah
Enigma ,we are legends.
Damn right we are
My high school playlist 🥲 time flies huh.. Hey you, stay strong 👊
I’m 37 and I’m still screaming this song at the top of my lungs as if I just heard it for the first time way back when
This is still my JAM!!!! Aww... My days of youth! 😍
I forgot about this song until it randomly showed up in my "recommended videos list". Man I can still sing every word of it.
Funnily enough im not here for nostalgia. I actually only recently got into this type of music but i absolutely love it. What an incredible band! Shoutout to And The Hero Will Drown.
I remember back then you were considered "Cool" knowing this song.
Avery Quinn No, but I honestly don't give a damn what people think of me. :)
Waltz I remember back when you used to be made fun of and called 'emo' for liking this song.
Mike Skaggs my name is blurry face and I care what people think.
chownful the two of you seem to be regarded on opposite sides of the fence on this one but you both like it as do I so there enjoy the afternoon!!
+Waltz i was the only one at my school who knew this song or even this band.. i asked a lot of people who knew them and i can only recall one kid ever saying they heard of them but couldn't even name a song.
This Song Tho.
Just brings back memories,Will never get old 💯
2022 anyone?
This is so good 🤘 but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” by SLT 🎸🎶 🎧🐺🔥
This song never get old!👊🏻👊🏻
First heard this song when i was on my ( OJT )on the job training in Davao. Year 2015. I was still 17 yrs old that time. Now it's 2022 and still love this song
This song was one of my favorites! We sang this a lot with my college friends!

I fly for a living, and 100% of the time I fly at night I sing to myself “From up here the city lights burn, like a thousand miles of fire… and it takes me back to my teenage years every time!
Who the fuck is Roman? sheesh at least you kids get introduced to kickass songs from the late 90s-2000s

I saw them on tour in July 2023. Dan’s vocals are still amazing! Just like how I remember
Ten years and i still lovin this song... TEN FKIN YEARS.
Desann Tainted this song is older then that
I was like like 14,15 when this came out.and that was 14 years ago.and youtube wasnt out yet when this song came out.
This was off the Page Avenue released in 2003. This song, and album turn 15 this September 😳
Sorry, I mean, ten years since I heard the song.
Either way its been a LOng time and alot of memories tied in!!
I have no idea who Roman Atwood is. I remember seeing SOTY on Taste of Chaos '06 w/ Thrice, Silverstein, Deftones, Atreyu, As I Lay Dying, and The Receiving End of Sirens. Crazy that it's been more than 10 years. Some young kids in this jawn.
Omg yesssss I automatically thought of warped tour . The best I went to
DrivinHanyou What a fucking line up! Deftones, As I lay Dying, Silverstein and Thrice!? Damn it that was one for the books forsure! 😍😍😍🙌👌🔥
Saw them in kc with cake and weezer
If you are here because you miss this song, don't worry, we miss it too. Let's listen together my friend. 🤝🍻
I wish music could go back to this!!!!!
2020 about to be 2021 and I still find myself coming back to this song Imagining how things got so shitty from when I heard this as a teenager... 🤘
I'm now 28 and a former emo. I remember rocking this song back when i was still 15-16. Though i cringe thinking back at it, i can't deny that i love this song and all other emo songs i've listened to back in the days.
Same here!
We are never former emo. Lol it's forever a part of us 😀
kinda irrelevant but im 17 now and im emo, i always was but them i cut my hair everything and i never let the music taste go, im letting my hair grow again finally haha. i probably lost the best time to be emo but my i remember myself very young when my sis showed me this song when she was emo (she’s 27 now) and she still loves it both the songs and the style. Just like Willian said here, there isn’t a former emo, once emo always emo. 🤘🏻
I agree with you there's no such thing as former emo since i've returned here again.
Only the cringe remains while thinking back of those tight black pants and the weird long hairs that covers the other side of the face and the excessive use of eyeliner 😂
I never looked emo at any point but I've always liked the songs
YOOOOOOOOOOOO! This song still holds up! I WANT MORE!!!!
I'm 34 and it's 2022. Song brings me right back to HS and my youth 🤘🏼❤️
Ah my 12 year old days come back
When I was first starting to get into music
I can tell by your username that you like Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, right?
From first to last....
Page Avenue is one of the most underrated rock albums of all time. Tell me I'm wrong.
When I Listen To This I Feel Like I'm In The Time Machine Going Back To My High School Days So Nostalgic Now I Have My Own Family And I Still Listening To This Gold Thank You
Anyone else super stoked to live out high school years again with Taste of Chaos this year??
one of my favorite albums of all time. So ready for their new one :D
To the future generations, please don’t let our childhood die. Don’t let songs like this die.
33 years old. Haven’t heard this song in at least 10 plus years. Still know every word.
I remember sitting watching MTV every night back in junior high just to see if they'd play this video.

Budi Setiawan

Spent 30mins just to look for the title / artist / video of this song 🥹💓 heard it years ago, and it still randomly haunts me
I need an entire playlist of songs that were popular at the time of this one
Chris Prather Type "Songs every former emo kid will always remember" into RUclips. You will find a great playlist.

I also came from this playlist 😂.
Chris Prather Silverstein bro smile in your sleep smash into pieces them jam oyt

If you're watching this in 2019, your childhood was awesome.
I am still a child
This is my childhood I'm 14
Facts
No. No it wasn't. I'm glad yours was tho.
This song helped me grieve the loss of my father when I was 21 in 2009. Hearing it again now, brings back all the pain I went through, how I overcame it, how strong I am today
This song takes me back to 4th and 5th grades. I'm a senior in college now. Where has the last 11 years gone?!?!?!?
2019 hit like if your still listening to this song
Merry 2020...
