You guys still up for it? We can figure something out. Im kind of new to being an all time low fan. I have always known about them and some of there songs byt never really listened to them but now im kind of starting to be a big fan i love their music and this kind of friendship the fans seem to have. Like a family. So you guys still interested?
I sometimes feel that All Time Low bought ten thousand hours of studio time in 2008, recorded about five hundred songs and have been randomly picking songs to make into albums. In reality, they haven't stepped into a studio in seven years.
I haven't cut in 5 months thanks to music, therapy, and my 3 younger siblings. It is hard AF to not cut. Thank you for reading this and don't cut or kill yourself. People do care. We are all kids in the dark
Stay strong, man ♡ hopefully youve gotten over what made you want to cut in the first place, and youre doing better after hopefully 10 months of no cutting.
"What a shame!" "What a shame!" Beautiful scars on critical veins. We come together, state of the art, we'll never surrender, the kids in the dark. This song is kind of entirely the reason why I'm still alive at this point.
this video has me in tears. it might be dumb, but to me it's meaningful. to me, this song is saying that there are people like us out there, we are the kids in the dark, we feel alone, but when we're together, we're unstoppable. we help each other. we're here for eachother. either that or I'm just super emotional
I remember listening to this freshman year and just crying. Now I’m 20 and I’m so proud of how far I’ve come. So for anyone who needs to hear this; I’m proud of you. You’re strong with a beautiful soul and a kind heart made of gold.
I love it. All time low are my fave band. This song is amazing. Come to the Caribbean there are lots of fans here who can't come up to see them. Please
Generation Zero Agreed, the album itself wasn't necessarily bad, I mean I could see why people liked it, but compared to their other stuff it really just sucked.
What if this happened at an actual All Time Low concert. Wouldn't that be the bet thing. Partying with other kids in the dark, and returning home with glow in the dark gooey rainbow goo and glitter.
"Beautiful scars on critical veins" That line to me is the most powerful. It speaks to so many people and is such a hard factor that needs to be spread around and shared more awareness for. This song has probably helped a lot of people as this song is not just a regular popular song, it has a strong message behind it.
"They left us alone the kinds in the dark to burn out forever or light up a spark we come together state of the art we'll never surrender the kids in the dark So let the world sing what a shame what a shame beautiful scars on critical veins" This song saved my life. My father would call my scars ugly and abuse me for who I am. This song helped me through all of it. It gave me the courage to become self harm free. Its currently January 3, 2018 and in 5 months I'll be 1 year self harm clean. Thank you so much you keep doing what you do because your music always makes me feel better no matter what
+Moustache Guy You barely don't know how it feels when you parent left you bc they can't deal with themselfs and than you sit their on your own feeling empty and staring to your wall hoping for some help cause you're too young to help yourself
Lyrics: Here we are, at the end of the road a road that's quietly caving in, Come too far to pretend that we don't -- we don't miss where we started, Looking back, I see a setting sun, and watch my shadow fade into the floor, I am left standing on the edge wondering how we got this far, (how we got this far…) They left us alone, the Kids In The Dark, to burn out forever, or light up a spark, We come together, state of the art, We'll never surrender, the kids in the dark, So let the world sing, "What a shame, what a shame, beautiful scars, on critical veins," Come together, state of the art, We'll never surrender, the Kids in the dark, the kids in the dark... Here we are at the top of the hill -- a hill that's quietly crumbling, Been a while since you dressed for the kill-- the kill that sent me tumbling, Looking up, I see a falling star, and watch its fire burn into the floor, I am left standing on the edge, wondering why we fall so hard, They left us alone, the Kids In The Dark, to burn out forever, or light up a spark, We come together, state of the art, We'll never surrender, the kids in the dark, So let the world sing, "What a shame, what a shame, beautiful scars, on critical veins," Come together, state of the art, We'll never surrender, the Kids in the dark, the kids in the dark... They left us alone, the Kids In The Dark, to burn out forever, or light up a spark, We come together, state of the art, We'll never surrender, the kids in the dark, So let the world sing, "What a shame, what a shame, beautiful scars, on critical veins," Come together, state of the art, We'll never surrender, the Kids in the dark, the kids in the dark...
I didn't have a shitty childhood or anything but a few months ago I had to move across the country and start my life from scratch, this song made me feel less terrible
To anyone who might read this, So my name's Thien, and while we might not know each other, that doesn't exactly matter because I just wanted to let you know you're truly beautiful, amazing and incredibly loved! Have a lovely day and don't forget to sm:)e!
Omg can I just say that this is one of the nicest comments I've seen on RUclips I don't know you but I love you for posting this to everyone I try to help people as well oml just thanks for being a awesome person ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This song used to be my go to for depression i always tried to find a way out of being downsized by my parents who were constantly arguing until my boyfriend rescued me..... and now I'm 21 weeks pregnant been with him practically a year my due date is feb 25
I used to listen to these guys in high school. Hell, the party scene was practically my freshman years' anthem. I hadn't listened to them in such a long time, but a friend shared this in Facebook and I just had to watch it. Listening to it immediately brought tears to my eyes. I don't know what it is about these four boys from Baltimore, but they'll always hold a special place in my heart.
This reminds me of a Tumblr post that said something along the lines of "All Time Low is one of those bands that, even if you stop listening to them, they stay in your heart forever." Mind you, as someone who's kind of a little bit obsessed (I have a tattoo of their lyrics), I don't understand why anyone would stop listening to them but hey, to each their own. People must have their reasons, I guess. Anyway, they've come a long way since you were listening to them and I'm so proud of them. Sold out Wembley Arena in, like, under 2 weeks. :) I love these idiots.
***** I have been a fan of All Time Low since 2007 when I was a freshman in high school. They have always in my top 3 artists at any given time (frequently at #1), but I go through different phases of what genre I like at any given time. It's always changing and going back and forth for me, from country to pop to hard rock to punk rock to hip-hop, etc. I listen to so many different genres. However, I can always listen to All Time Low. There may be times when I don't listen to them for a few months, even a year at point or two, but they will always be one of my favorites. There is no other band I can say this about. It's been 8 years and while they may not always be the band at the top of my list they will always be on my list.
lleasure29 That's awesome. :) I've been a fan for nearly 3 years and for me, personally, they've been #1 ever since I first listened to them really. But that's just me. I kind of fell into the best downward spiral ever haha. They literally have the most dedicated fans ever imo. Most of us stick around and that's awesome. I'll never stop supporting them. I can say that wholeheartedly as they've done so much for me and their music is always so great. I'm so grateful for this band.
***** They do have awesome fans, of course with the exception of a couple that need to learn some boundaries (every band seems to have 2 or 3 with boundary problems). Not many bands make it to 6 albums and I hope they make 6 more after this.
I can't help but think how many lives they saved with this... Whoever reads this, you're not alone, all the pop punk kids are with you, and we love you ❤
My sister loved All Time low and many other rock bands. She had them all on her ipod. Now after years of hearing them I'm finding them all on youtube and they hit different. Remembering where I was at back then and how far I've come
This reminds me of my little brother. My parents were kinda supportive of my older brother and not very supportive of me and my little brother had to do almost everything on his own. They never noticed how he would hit himself in the face. I asked him about it and he said "well... I've been thinking about some things that are sad." He's five(I don't know where he learned that but I didn't hurt myself till I was 11 and even then I covered it up and never let anyone know, especially not him). So I did a puzzle with him and let him watch youtube because I know those things make him happy and while we did said puzzle I played this song and he loved it, he hits himself in the face less and whenever we play music he always asks for this song.
This was me for 5 years. My parents were too busy fighting instead of taking care of me. But on top of that my mother blamed me for their problems. That crumbled my confidence. And because she tells me this every other day I’ve been depressed for 3 years. My parents got divorced and my father met someone that Soo nice. She had a daughter named Haley . She’s the best sister I could have ever asked for. She’s helped me through the dark times in order for me to get my s**t together. But it turned out that she had just as many problems as me so together we helped each other out life hasn’t been the same since she’s help me out tremendously
Somewhere in Neverland was this x100 for me. This song is like a Transformers movie: always good but always the same. As much as people hated it, I'd like to see them change up their sound like they did in Dirty Work.
To ATL, Thank you so much for your hard work and inspiration. This song got me through some of my hardest times. I didn't think I would love to see 16 and am now 22 in my final year of university studying business management. I plan to keep living through your messages and one day be able to say that I have survived. Please keep creating music for the generation after mine to save them also like you saved my life
THIS WAS THE FIRST BAND I LISTENED TO AND THEN I FELL HARD. SERIOUSLY. I WAS A NORMAL BORING CHILD AND NOW IM OBSESSED WITH BANDS AND DANK MEMES AND FANDOMS AND OFHER SHIT THTAD TAKING OVER NY LIFE SOMEBODY HELP ME
It happened to me but with tøp, p!atd and fob, now I'm awesome and made a shitton of friends because of the music i like, also I'm a RUclips addict.....
This was the first ATL song I ever heard. Since then, they've become my favorite band and their songs have literally saved my life multiple times. Thank you guys for being so amazing and making music for us kids in the dark :)
This is my first All Time Low song that I've heard. Two things 1: how have I never heard them before?! They're awesome. 2: i need to do that whole glowy splatter paint thing.
"Looking up, I see a falling star, and watch its fire burn into the floor, I am left standing on the edge, wondering why we fall so hard," hit good ngl
This got me through so much. Going through the struggles that I do as an older person, it’s songs like this that I remember the kids in the dark, and that I’m not alone through what I go through, because everyone hurts. You come here to cry, but you’re not alone in your pain
Dirty Work grew on me over time but it's still my least favorite. I DESPISED it when it came out. And I don't despise anything from ATL. I have them tatted on me. I CAN'T despise anything from ATL. But Dirty Work, man. But I liked Stick, and Stones, and Techno! Lmao.
I heard this song in Hot Topic and I was like "OMG I NEED TO KNOW WHO THIS IS BAND WHAT SONG IT IS!" I finally found it and I fell in love with All Time Low!
We should make our own escape. Even if it be just here on this comment. I just want to help not myself but others. Listen, share, support. Say whatever you may want on here and we can help each other
Well now I wanna join :( I'm new to ATL, I looked into them because I'm going through tough times right now. One of my other friends listen to them and love them.
It's been 5 years. Whenever I have a rough day, I blast this song, and for some reason, it gives me this strong feeling of hope and makes me smile. I don't know why it feels so powerful
I wouldn't really say it's a lot "heavier", because Alex doesn't scream, but Kellin does. I do get your point though, and go go go is kinda more pop-ish, but when it comes to Fly, I think it was meant to be kind of a "calm" song :) Love both of these bands!
This song is my anthem. Any time I'm depressed or anxious or suicidal or anything, I listen to this song and it has gotten me through so much. I love you guys so much 💖💖💖
i don't get how anyone could dislike atl like as people they're so genuine and idiotic but just amazing and they have good music. they have done literally nothing wrong and they're so fun and energetic. the thought of someone disliking them legitimately confuses me
olive h I personally have never known anyone that dislikes or hates All Time Low. Sure I know people who don't listen to their music because of their personal music preferences (they don't like the genre), but none of those individuals actually dislike them. Of all the artists, bands, etc I know exist I think All Time Low might be the least hated/disliked (in my own experiences). It's weird for me because I never feel like I have to hide being a fan, unlike pretty much every other artist. Do you know a lot of people that genuinely hate them? Or are they people that just don't listen to All Time Low because of personal preferences?
lleasure29 my step sister for some reason has a strong hatred towards them. i have no clue why. obviously there are people out there who are idiotic and hate them for no reason, but i honestly cannot see how anyone could.
Everyone has things they don't like. There are definitely some things I absolutely hate; some have explanations why, others I literally have no explanations or specific reasons why. If everyone liked the same things the world would be a pretty boring place. I agree that I don't understand why people would hate All Time Low, but as long as they are not asses about it, I understand that they see things differently. But, I do agree in that I personally wouldn't understand most people's reasons for not liking them. I hope she is not an ass in regards to her dislike of All Time Low.
Was starting to think after my last ATL gig I was getting too old for 'em (21)....now going to order my ticket to their next gig. They've done it again, well played ATL, well played
This song makes so much more sense now. At their concert I didn't feel alone anymore. I felt surrounded by people who love the same things. We all supported each other and it felt like one massive family. I don't get that feeling anywhere else than being in the crowd with these amazing people.
i got fucking choked up. im gonna tell you something, this song has got me to NOT commit suicide. ALL TIME FUCKING LOW saves my life all the time. i know i swear a lot, but these guys are my heroes. i want to meet them so bad. it's my dream. i would honestly give anything to even be able to see them in concert. i have been a die hard fan for a few years and i love them. i went through 5 mental hospitalizations, all of my high school experience where i was called the "suicidal slut" years of bulima, and bipolar disorders. All Time Low's music got me through it. if i got to meet them, i would just want to say thank you and have a hug from them. Those boys mean more to me than anything, and Kids In The Dark is my theme song as i go into college, and getting my gallbladder out. i have been almost 1 year of cutting free on May 21st and All Time Low helped me get through it. i just wanted to say thank you, Hopeless Records for producing them and allowing them to make music that speaks to me. and of course, thank you to All Time Low for making songs like this. i dont know if this will be read but i wanted to write it in case it would be.
I love you. I just do. You're amazing and don't let anyone tell you differently. You're story is inspiring and wonderful. And you are beautiful. beautiful. Love you
Missing You is like a warm hug and a loved one telling you that it will be alright. Kids in the Dark is like them taking your hand and telling you that you aren't alone. This album has saved my life so many times 💙💙
When I saw this song played live front row, was the best moment I've ever had. I love this song, any song me and my friends can relate to. Thank you so much.❤️ fellow hustlers feel the same way!❤️❤️
Binge listening&watching all ATL albums since their new release. Who's there since the beginning? I am & I don't think I'll ever leave. Thank you All Time Low. 🖤
in love with this. been an ATL fan for about 9 years now(and it's not about to stop, never will.) even though I missed them every time they did a show in my area and I never saw/met them, I am so proud to see them evolve, this is purely amazing. I am so fucking excited for Future Hearts!
This is literally so perfect. Probably gonna be my fave on the album but of course, I can't say that yet. Can't wait to see them on 20th and 24th March (meeting them at HMV!!!!). Will never stop supporting this band (and that's a good thing too, seeing as their lyrics are permanently on my skin haha). Been my favourite band for nearly 3 years now with no sign of stopping.
***** HMV in Cardiff. They're doing a signing. :) MCRxGerard1 Aw, don't cry! I'm sure you'll get your chance one day. I wouldn't be going if it wasn't only in the next town, haha. Happy birthday for 24th March! My birthday is the day Future Hearts comes out. :D
coming back to this song after years of not hearing it has me feeling all types of ways. this was my anthem for so long but i drifted. the first second 10 seconds of the song flooded my mind with memories of myself crying to this song. the 3 minute duration was complete deja vue of how i used to feel. my goodness i was so lost
When this song came out, I was depressed af, I even tried to kill ms a few times. I was 15, I was a kid and I felt so alone, specially because in my country this music was only for freaks, and everyone treated me like that. This song helped me so much in that time, because I realized that I wasn't alone, I was only in the dark. Now looking back, I can perfectly see my young me listening this song, working alone in the library of school, and... she is happy, she's not as sad as she think she is, and that makes me happy, cause now I know that I choose the right music, now I'm not in the dark anymore.
Each state needs to have a kids in the dark club that meets once a week! Then once a month/year we can have a giant kids in the dark meeting and every person from every kids in the dark group will meet at a certain place and we can all meet and help each other!!
As a person who has suffered through a toxic family environment and abuse, this touches me in a personal way. Thank you for showing me I have a way out.
you know Kids in the Dark NEEDS to be a real organization for kids who are going though / or have experience hard
I would join and so would my three friends
Yas please me and my best friend would join!! (We are both kids in the dark)
Yass
You guys still up for it? We can figure something out. Im kind of new to being an all time low fan. I have always known about them and some of there songs byt never really listened to them but now im kind of starting to be a big fan i love their music and this kind of friendship the fans seem to have. Like a family. So you guys still interested?
If anyone is interested here is the link for the one i made x discord.gg/gQKanpV
I sometimes feel that All Time Low bought ten thousand hours of studio time in 2008, recorded about five hundred songs and have been randomly picking songs to make into albums. In reality, they haven't stepped into a studio in seven years.
Why do you feel that way?
Maybe because their style hasn't really changed and they are all songs of good quality. They haven't diminished over the years
i would've been better if they sound again like their The Party Scene/Put up or shut up days
Vice Liberty Andreas
Party Scene is the best and wont be beaten :) still sound awesome though.
I don't get it ... but really ? They haven't stepped in a studios for 7 years ?
BEAUTIFUL SCARS ON CRITICAL VEINS
That line always hits me right in the heart
Yeah same
Trinity13 oh
You mean scars are critical veins
Me too!
Same
I haven't cut in 5 months thanks to music, therapy, and my 3 younger siblings. It is hard AF to not cut. Thank you for reading this and don't cut or kill yourself. People do care. We are all kids in the dark
You got this ur siblings need you don’t give up 🤘
we love you man
You are loved!!!
You can do this, remeber lo live this beauutiful life and don't give up! :D
Stay strong, man ♡ hopefully youve gotten over what made you want to cut in the first place, and youre doing better after hopefully 10 months of no cutting.
"What a shame!"
"What a shame!"
Beautiful scars on critical veins.
We come together, state of the art, we'll never surrender, the kids in the dark.
This song is kind of entirely the reason why I'm still alive at this point.
Alexis Woodberry your beautiful and worth it, never forget thst
You are a awesome and if any one tells you other wise just ignore them.you are beautiful besides I don't even know you but I wanna be your friend
Same........... damn now I’m crying
Kids in the Dark, then, now, forever!
your profile pic is so cute!!!
this video has me in tears. it might be dumb, but to me it's meaningful. to me, this song is saying that there are people like us out there, we are the kids in the dark, we feel alone, but when we're together, we're unstoppable. we help each other. we're here for eachother.
either that or I'm just super emotional
I'm right there with you
mik me too!
You right
agreed
Same🙁
I can't believe that this song almost didn't make it to the album. This song is my absolute 100% favorite song EVER!!
song #4?
i'm sorry WHAT--
I remember listening to this freshman year and just crying. Now I’m 20 and I’m so proud of how far I’ve come. So for anyone who needs to hear this; I’m proud of you. You’re strong with a beautiful soul and a kind heart made of gold.
Thank you. I needed to read something like this today.
Thank you for writing this.
thank you so much, this song is my source of hope as i contemplate running away from home
same bro. This song helped me to get throught all the problems that puberty brought upon
thank you for saying that. I needed this
Thanks everyone for watching!! Pick up a pre-order while they are still available. hopelessrecords.com/futurehearts
yay i read a comment that was posted 48 seconds ago. where is my medal?
You should so do that at your concerts it looks so much fun
Awesome Video Guys!!
I love it. All time low are my fave band. This song is amazing. Come to the Caribbean there are lots of fans here who can't come up to see them. Please
If I didn't spend almost $200 from my paycheck I would. Hopefully they're not sold out by next Thursday......
If I hosted a party like this, and had ATL play on the radio the ENTIRE time, who would come?
PrettyKittyTuber ME 100%
Me! :)
Me!
PrettyKittyTuber Meee
ME obviously I love partys
Am I the only one who gets chills and smiles like an idiot when listening to this song?
Definitely not. I'm shivering like hell right now, but I'm pretty sure it's 75% from KITD and the other 25% from cold. Ah, this song...
Fallen Angel Rivers not the only one 😂😂
I get it too
Fallen Angel Rivers nope lol
Fallen Angel Rivers no
they left us alone...
the kids in the dark
to burn out forever.
OR light up a spark
I'm crying cause I'm a kid in the dark...
If u need to talk I'm here
Sxars Fade exactly
Sxars Fade Me too ,Im a kid in the dark!!
I just got the part where Alex goes "Beautiful scars on critical veins" is a reference to cutting... it only took a year and a half.
+Ethan P haha... it just got dark man...
Rachel Serviss I just got it now. Thank you
Y'all are slow. No offense
Wow... I got it the second I heard it 😂😂
My heart is breaking :( I got your back
Omg finally, a band that I love that is actually making GOOD new music.
Fall Out Boy????
yeah what about fall out boy?!?
Antonella Zarb I think Fall Out Boy's new album is terrible (Not trying to upset anyone or start an argument, just saying)
Generation Zero Okay. I respect your opinion. I don't wanna fight.
Generation Zero Agreed, the album itself wasn't necessarily bad, I mean I could see why people liked it, but compared to their other stuff it really just sucked.
What if this happened at an actual All Time Low concert. Wouldn't that be the bet thing. Partying with other kids in the dark, and returning home with glow in the dark gooey rainbow goo and glitter.
I would be so happy
Yeah ..
Yes I would love it
i would go to every concert they ever have
just saying i would do this at a one direction concert.
"Beautiful scars on critical veins" That line to me is the most powerful. It speaks to so many people and is such a hard factor that needs to be spread around and shared more awareness for. This song has probably helped a lot of people as this song is not just a regular popular song, it has a strong message behind it.
this played on radio one today at school. i was in art and this happened who ever asked for the song i love you
I was gonna comment about that lol. I was freaking tag out.
Sky Mitchell lucky I'm so jelly all my school gets is crap pop
Perceyzachson ### I would appreciate a school that play rock, I would come every day just for it, and the emo boys lol
Sky Mitchell my school doesnt even play music even on the bus

"They left us alone the kinds in the dark to burn out forever or light up a spark we come together state of the art we'll never surrender the kids in the dark
So let the world sing what a shame what a shame beautiful scars on critical veins"
This song saved my life. My father would call my scars ugly and abuse me for who I am. This song helped me through all of it. It gave me the courage to become self harm free. Its currently January 3, 2018 and in 5 months I'll be 1 year self harm clean. Thank you so much you keep doing what you do because your music always makes me feel better no matter what
That's amazing! I'm 2 years late here, but that's so amazing! I'm really proud of you for overcoming all that.
Happy 5 years 3 months and 5 days clean
BEAUTIFUL SCARS ON CRITICAL VEINS

Critical Vaynes* ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Makes me want to be a part of such party sooo badly. Just imagine: you, a bunch of strangers, paint everywhere and you're all dancing to All Time Low.
i got to take part and honestly it really felt like a party! everyone got on so well and got to dance to our favourite band!:D
megan rose I'm happy for you, but I kinda hate you to bits right now.
Oh well, at least I'm getting a bunch of ATL merch soon
megan rose thats so cool, i was going to do it but had no way of getting there, did you get to meet them?
aw shame! no we didn't since they'd recorded their bit before :)
i was featured in it :D it was so fun
I'm so happy I found this band!!! If you guys have a fandom count me in!! This band is too underrated!!!
dear Maria, count me in
im sorry for my band trashiness 😂
***** no...
+Chandana TheGreat the mainstream kids don't know them. I mean they've had music on pop channel but they are really known in the alternative area
+LucyPrettyPinkPony All Time Low is anything but underrated. they're kind of overrated if anything. Esp nowadays.
Yeah me too cookie!!!
Lyrics:
Here we are, at the end of the road
a road that's quietly caving in,
Come too far to pretend that we don't --
we don't miss where we started,
Looking back,
I see a setting sun,
and watch my shadow fade into the floor,
I am left standing on the edge wondering how we got this far,
(how we got this far…)
They left us alone,
the Kids In The Dark,
to burn out forever, or light up a spark,
We come together, state of the art,
We'll never surrender, the kids in the dark,
So let the world sing,
"What a shame, what a shame, beautiful scars, on critical veins,"
Come together, state of the art, We'll never surrender,
the Kids in the dark, the kids in the dark...
Here we are at the top of the hill --
a hill that's quietly crumbling,
Been a while since you dressed for the kill--
the kill that sent me tumbling,
Looking up, I see a falling star,
and watch its fire burn into the floor,
I am left standing on the edge,
wondering why we fall so hard,
They left us alone,
the Kids In The Dark,
to burn out forever, or light up a spark,
We come together, state of the art,
We'll never surrender,
the kids in the dark,
So let the world sing,
"What a shame, what a shame, beautiful scars, on critical veins,"
Come together, state of the art,
We'll never surrender,
the Kids in the dark,
the kids in the dark...
They left us alone,
the Kids In The Dark,
to burn out forever, or light up a spark,
We come together, state of the art,
We'll never surrender,
the kids in the dark,
So let the world sing,
"What a shame, what a shame, beautiful scars, on critical veins,"
Come together, state of the art,
We'll never surrender,
the Kids in the dark,
the kids in the dark...
I didn't have a shitty childhood or anything but a few months ago I had to move across the country and start my life from scratch, this song made me feel less terrible
Alex, you are my dream girl.
Same..
He is everyone's dream girl ❤️
you are such an awesome guy
Stevop, you are my dream girl ;)

This song used to be my go to for depression i always tried to find a way out of being downsized by my parents who were constantly arguing until my boyfriend rescued me..... and now I'm 21 weeks pregnant been with him practically a year my due date is feb 25
Congrats!
Congrats!
I used to listen to these guys in high school. Hell, the party scene was practically my freshman years' anthem. I hadn't listened to them in such a long time, but a friend shared this in Facebook and I just had to watch it. Listening to it immediately brought tears to my eyes. I don't know what it is about these four boys from Baltimore, but they'll always hold a special place in my heart.
This reminds me of a Tumblr post that said something along the lines of "All Time Low is one of those bands that, even if you stop listening to them, they stay in your heart forever." Mind you, as someone who's kind of a little bit obsessed (I have a tattoo of their lyrics), I don't understand why anyone would stop listening to them but hey, to each their own. People must have their reasons, I guess. Anyway, they've come a long way since you were listening to them and I'm so proud of them. Sold out Wembley Arena in, like, under 2 weeks. :) I love these idiots.
That's so sweet. It's nice to see someone see how far they've come. We're all proud of these baltimore boys ;)
***** I have been a fan of All Time Low since 2007 when I was a freshman in high school. They have always in my top 3 artists at any given time (frequently at #1), but I go through different phases of what genre I like at any given time. It's always changing and going back and forth for me, from country to pop to hard rock to punk rock to hip-hop, etc. I listen to so many different genres. However, I can always listen to All Time Low. There may be times when I don't listen to them for a few months, even a year at point or two, but they will always be one of my favorites. There is no other band I can say this about. It's been 8 years and while they may not always be the band at the top of my list they will always be on my list.
lleasure29 That's awesome. :) I've been a fan for nearly 3 years and for me, personally, they've been #1 ever since I first listened to them really. But that's just me. I kind of fell into the best downward spiral ever haha. They literally have the most dedicated fans ever imo. Most of us stick around and that's awesome. I'll never stop supporting them. I can say that wholeheartedly as they've done so much for me and their music is always so great. I'm so grateful for this band.
***** They do have awesome fans, of course with the exception of a couple that need to learn some boundaries (every band seems to have 2 or 3 with boundary problems). Not many bands make it to 6 albums and I hope they make 6 more after this.
All Time Low honestly has the best creative lyrics wtf so much respect
"State of the art"
"Beautiful scars on critical veins"
I LOVE THIS BAND
I can't help but think how many lives they saved with this... Whoever reads this, you're not alone, all the pop punk kids are with you, and we love you ❤
My sister loved All Time low and many other rock bands. She had them all on her ipod. Now after years of hearing them I'm finding them all on youtube and they hit different. Remembering where I was at back then and how far I've come
I am so proud of these dorks and they have absolutely no idea
This reminds me of my little brother. My parents were kinda supportive of my older brother and not very supportive of me and my little brother had to do almost everything on his own. They never noticed how he would hit himself in the face. I asked him about it and he said "well... I've been thinking about some things that are sad." He's five(I don't know where he learned that but I didn't hurt myself till I was 11 and even then I covered it up and never let anyone know, especially not him). So I did a puzzle with him and let him watch youtube because I know those things make him happy and while we did said puzzle I played this song and he loved it, he hits himself in the face less and whenever we play music he always asks for this song.
Aw, this makes me so sad, but you’re an amazing sister. I hope he’s doing better now.
That was sweet of you. I hope he's not still doing it though.
How are you now?
This was me for 5 years. My parents were too busy fighting instead of taking care of me. But on top of that my mother blamed me for their problems. That crumbled my confidence. And because she tells me this every other day I’ve been depressed for 3 years. My parents got divorced and my father met someone that Soo nice. She had a daughter named Haley . She’s the best sister I could have ever asked for. She’s helped me through the dark times in order for me to get my s**t together. But it turned out that she had just as many problems as me so together we helped each other out life hasn’t been the same since she’s help me out tremendously
take care your sister man
Glad to see someone finally speaking for us. Kids are capable to feel, folks. As much as you are. Don't forget this. You will destroy them.
4th time listening to it this morning and I can't stop... It's 7AM and I'm jumping around in excitement. I can't wait for the album!!
I am doing the same thing XD
Same! And it's 11:37pm in Sydney, Australia xD
I just saw the video and asdfghjkl my parents think I am having a seizure HOLLY POTATO I CANT WAIT YAAAAAAAS
Somewhere in Neverland was this x100 for me.
This song is like a Transformers movie: always good but always the same.
As much as people hated it, I'd like to see them change up their sound like they did in Dirty Work.
SAME
All Time Low will always be my favorite band
they have always been my favorite band, ever since i heard the song "Lost in Stereo" the first song i ever heard by them
OMG :)))))
I'm pretty sure you love bvb more
Same here
He prob just likes Andy's butt actually

Hello felloe kids in the dark :)
To ATL,
Thank you so much for your hard work and inspiration. This song got me through some of my hardest times. I didn't think I would love to see 16 and am now 22 in my final year of university studying business management. I plan to keep living through your messages and one day be able to say that I have survived. Please keep creating music for the generation after mine to save them also like you saved my life
Ohh
THIS WAS THE FIRST BAND I LISTENED TO AND THEN I FELL HARD. SERIOUSLY. I WAS A NORMAL BORING CHILD AND NOW IM OBSESSED WITH BANDS AND DANK MEMES AND FANDOMS AND OFHER SHIT THTAD TAKING OVER NY LIFE SOMEBODY HELP ME

+Jessica Huang if you insist😂
You hear that? That's me DYING CAUSE HIS IS PERFECT
*He is
YESS
+Amy Katalo I though all time low was a band and not a 'he' .
Mia White But who's singing?
Amy Katalo Alex, but the vocals aren't the only part of a song.
They should have a concert and when this song plays they should just shoot paint like they did in the video oml.
If they don't I will be very disappointed
Is that a My Chemical Romance shirt in your profile picture, or am I seeing things?
Mini Monet Yes it is aha cx
OMG YESS THIS IS THE ONLY SONG IVE HEARD FROM THIS BAND I DISCOVERED THEM LIKE 5MINS AGO AND I ALREADY WANT TO GO TO A CONCERT AND FOR THIS TO HAPPEN

“Beautiful scars on critical veins”
#isurvived
i'm so proud of you ❤️
Well done my friend hats off to you what was it you survived
I survived too. :)
I survived being abused by my grandmother.
Im still surviving being abused by my dad.
#TheKidsInTheDark
❤❤❤
I feel like a proud mother. THESE DUDES NEVER DISAPPOINT.
This is one of the best songs I have heard, it's a fun song that's says you are not alone in this world.
My thoughts exactly, It has a positive message. L❤️ve!!! :)
Can't wait for the new album!!!!
Ikr, just think if it started out this gud, I can only imagine how epic the rest of the album will be. :D
Yeah same :)
Starry-eyed Gal you check out philmont's "the difference" or "back down" you'll like them.... or blue horizon by 38th parallel
Today i decided to start listening to their music and OMG. THIS BAND IS SO GOOD😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Leave while you can, IT'S NOT TOO LATE YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO ESCAPE THE FANDOM BEFORE YOU ARE OBSESSED!!
+TheWeird'NWildChild 24 IT'S TOO LATE
+Lucia Gerding DANGIT I WAS TOO LATE!
+Lucia Gerding Welcome to this weird, crazy fandom, fellow Hustlers :) xx
samee
This was the first ATL song I ever heard. Since then, they've become my favorite band and their songs have literally saved my life multiple times. Thank you guys for being so amazing and making music for us kids in the dark :)
This is my first All Time Low song that I've heard. Two things 1: how have I never heard them before?! They're awesome. 2: i need to do that whole glowy splatter paint thing.
This is the first song I've heard of them too and I am like: WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T I LISTEN TO THEM BEFORE THEY ARE PERFECT KXBSJNSKSNS
I listened to this song live because Lindsey Stirling was a part of it, but it didn't even click to go listen to more of their music!
COME ON HALEY WE HAVE TO GO TO THE TARDIS NOW! THE DALEKS ARE TRYING TO TAKE OVER THE WORD AGAIN. COME ON ALLONS-Y!
Cupake Cutie that it's made my day OMG! YES ALLONSY!
Haley W. YESSSS
Does anyone else do the hand thing he does at "so let the world sing" with him when it explodes. Because I do. :)
what time is that at?
I do
Call_Me_Alex 3:01
thanks
I thought I was the only one. Hahaha
This is how I feel about fandoms XD they take you in without judging when everyone else just throws you out
I know right!
9 years na pala to guys huhuh naalala ko pa nung bagong release yun music vid
I love this video so much. It makes me feel way less alone😄
Qill yo I like Jack too
Andrea Payne AYY! *finger guns*
I looked in the comments, first thing I see is a Jackaboy pic, and here I am, adoring it. Nice profile pic XD
MyaMya Woot Woot! Another Jack fan!!! And thanks XD
Qill XD yw
I'm not a massive fan of all time low but I get tingles from this video and I think it's the most beautiful music video I've ever seen
how awesome if all the kids in the dark, like me, could just escape and be all together. Am I the only one who thought this?
Panic! at My chemical Fall out Piløt Dude that'd be fucking amazing. I wish that could happen so bad
When and where.
Truth were and when
We'll be alone together
No
"Looking up, I see a falling star, and watch its fire burn into the floor, I am left standing on the edge, wondering why we fall so hard," hit good ngl
This got me through so much. Going through the struggles that I do as an older person, it’s songs like this that I remember the kids in the dark, and that I’m not alone through what I go through, because everyone hurts. You come here to cry, but you’re not alone in your pain
Is it me or has all time low NEVER released a bad album or a bad song!
*cough *cough stick stones and techno *cough
*cough cough* dirty work *cough cough*
*gasp* I loved dirty work😍
Dirty Work grew on me over time but it's still my least favorite. I DESPISED it when it came out. And I don't despise anything from ATL. I have them tatted on me. I CAN'T despise anything from ATL. But Dirty Work, man.
But I liked Stick, and Stones, and Techno! Lmao.
I love Dirty Work. It just lifted me up and made me really happy. However, I still don't like 'that girl' and 'I feel like dancin' very much.
I heard this song in Hot Topic and I was like "OMG I NEED TO KNOW WHO THIS IS BAND WHAT SONG IT IS!" I finally found it and I fell in love with All Time Low!
XxFallen AngelXx ikr!? they're so good! 😍
Breona Renay Hawkins Yaaaasss
XxFallen AngelXx yeah! let's be friends! do you have any other social media? 😊
Breona Renay Hawkins Sure! and I have G+, SC, and Hangouts.
XxFallen AngelXx my Snapchat is Breerenay! what's yours? :)
I just realized that I'm 8 months clean, and it's all because my partner has kept me going. I'm finally glad to say that I'm okay 💕
Im still waiting for my letter of escape...
Alex Mara Me too.
Same here :)
Alex Mara *hugs you all* ^_^
We should make our own escape. Even if it be just here on this comment. I just want to help not myself but others. Listen, share, support. Say whatever you may want on here and we can help each other
^^ love that. I'm waiting for my letter too
*actually and literally bursts into tears* and can we talk about how good they look in this
Raise your hand if you're a kid in the dark who needs a little bit of light
I'd have sold my soul to have gone to this kids in the dark meeting
Same
Since I'm a leader in my town I MAKE my members sacrifice their soul,
LOL JK
+SLDomoGaming Does that mean there's an actual KITD?
Yeah...
Well now I wanna join :(
I'm new to ATL, I looked into them because I'm going through tough times right now. One of my other friends listen to them and love them.
It's been 5 years. Whenever I have a rough day, I blast this song, and for some reason, it gives me this strong feeling of hope and makes me smile. I don't know why it feels so powerful
This moment when alll time low's new song is much more heavier than sleeping with sirens' new "fly" an g "go go go" songs
shhh we dont talk about it
I wouldn't really say it's a lot "heavier", because Alex doesn't scream, but Kellin does. I do get your point though, and go go go is kinda more pop-ish, but when it comes to Fly, I think it was meant to be kind of a "calm" song :) Love both of these bands!
ATL "heavy" HAHAHAHAHA Bitch pls go check your ears. This ain't heavy. It's trash.
This song is my anthem. Any time I'm depressed or anxious or suicidal or anything, I listen to this song and it has gotten me through so much. I love you guys so much 💖💖💖
i don't get how anyone could dislike atl like as people they're so genuine and idiotic but just amazing and they have good music. they have done literally nothing wrong and they're so fun and energetic. the thought of someone disliking them legitimately confuses me
olive h I personally have never known anyone that dislikes or hates All Time Low. Sure I know people who don't listen to their music because of their personal music preferences (they don't like the genre), but none of those individuals actually dislike them. Of all the artists, bands, etc I know exist I think All Time Low might be the least hated/disliked (in my own experiences). It's weird for me because I never feel like I have to hide being a fan, unlike pretty much every other artist. Do you know a lot of people that genuinely hate them? Or are they people that just don't listen to All Time Low because of personal preferences?
lleasure29 my step sister for some reason has a strong hatred towards them. i have no clue why. obviously there are people out there who are idiotic and hate them for no reason, but i honestly cannot see how anyone could.
Everyone has things they don't like. There are definitely some things I absolutely hate; some have explanations why, others I literally have no explanations or specific reasons why. If everyone liked the same things the world would be a pretty boring place. I agree that I don't understand why people would hate All Time Low, but as long as they are not asses about it, I understand that they see things differently. But, I do agree in that I personally wouldn't understand most people's reasons for not liking them. I hope she is not an ass in regards to her dislike of All Time Low.
why are u guys taking this comment so seriously it was a joke like ok cool lol
lleasure29 but tbh she is kind of an ass about it lol
Was starting to think after my last ATL gig I was getting too old for 'em (21)....now going to order my ticket to their next gig. They've done it again, well played ATL, well played
You're never too old for ATL ;)
Yeah, remember listening to SWIR in high school, now Future Hearts when I'm leaving university. Don't change ATL
Ah! I know exactly how you feel :) Such a feel good band, I'm in university now and I'll definitely still be a huge fan when I leave!
Nahhhh never too old 😂 go for it
Hey I'm 25 and still a fan! Almost 8 years since the first time I listened their music... geez I'm old jajaja
i caught there drumstick at the Orlando Florida concert
THEY ARE COMING AGAIN WITH SWS!!! JUST ANNOUNCED IT TODAY!!!
TapersBeTaping DUDE I KNOW I AM GOING TO THAT ONE
TapersBeTaping ARE YA GONNA BE THERE??
HOPEFULLY. I WILL DO ANYTHING TO GO.
TapersBeTaping WELL IF U DO YOU WILL SEE ME
This song makes so much more sense now. At their concert I didn't feel alone anymore. I felt surrounded by people who love the same things. We all supported each other and it felt like one massive family. I don't get that feeling anywhere else than being in the crowd with these amazing people.
i got fucking choked up. im gonna tell you something, this song has got me to NOT commit suicide. ALL TIME FUCKING LOW saves my life all the time. i know i swear a lot, but these guys are my heroes. i want to meet them so bad. it's my dream. i would honestly give anything to even be able to see them in concert. i have been a die hard fan for a few years and i love them. i went through 5 mental hospitalizations, all of my high school experience where i was called the "suicidal slut" years of bulima, and bipolar disorders. All Time Low's music got me through it. if i got to meet them, i would just want to say thank you and have a hug from them. Those boys mean more to me than anything, and Kids In The Dark is my theme song as i go into college, and getting my gallbladder out. i have been almost 1 year of cutting free on May 21st and All Time Low helped me get through it. i just wanted to say thank you, Hopeless Records for producing them and allowing them to make music that speaks to me. and of course, thank you to All Time Low for making songs like this. i dont know if this will be read but i wanted to write it in case it would be.
Thank 0
I love you. I just do. You're amazing and don't let anyone tell you differently. You're story is inspiring and wonderful. And you are beautiful. beautiful. Love you
elli griffin thank you so much!! this means a lot to me!!

+Pastel Simmer NO nope nopity nope nope nopity nope no!!
Do you hear that, that's the sound of me noping! *breaks the piano*
When I was a young girl, MCR finally broke up, each to their own paths...
When I was a young girl, my father told me MCR is dead..
+Pastel Simmer Nah, we all know their new album "Techno Country Blonde Gerard" will be released when the world is finally ready in 2019
+YellowFlareMC Totally.
This is amazing and I totally relate to this. I just want to know one thing... Why wasn't I invited.
RIGHT?!
yess, I think the same wiith you. why wasn't I invited. That was an Amazing video. love this..
i know right!
I wish you could have come! It was so fun to shoot!😀
Georgia Goodall it really was!
Missing You is like a warm hug and a loved one telling you that it will be alright.
Kids in the Dark is like them taking your hand and telling you that you aren't alone.
This album has saved my life so many times 💙💙
Even after all these years, you are still my favorite band. ❤️
even after all this time?
When I saw this song played live front row, was the best moment I've ever had. I love this song, any song me and my friends can relate to. Thank you so much.❤️ fellow hustlers feel the same way!❤️❤️
I'm a kid in the dark, a stray, a trash can, a part of the clique, and I'm proud.
BandFreak13 no I'm a trash can
BandFreak13 i litterally just ran over a trash can
trash can? ?
BandFreak me too! 😂
BandFreak |-/
Binge listening&watching all ATL albums since their new release. Who's there since the beginning? I am & I don't think I'll ever leave. Thank you All Time Low. 🖤
I want to make an organization and call it "Kids In The Dark" and the tagline will be "The Kids Aren't Alright"
Esmeralda The Batman YESH!!!
Count me in!
Esmeralda The Batman Lol!
beautyinsider Yay!
Esmeralda The Batman Of course!! And invite your friends! All the kids in the dark who aren't alright are aloud!!
in love with this. been an ATL fan for about 9 years now(and it's not about to stop, never will.) even though I missed them every time they did a show in my area and I never saw/met them, I am so proud to see them evolve, this is purely amazing. I am so fucking excited for Future Hearts!
This is literally so perfect. Probably gonna be my fave on the album but of course, I can't say that yet. Can't wait to see them on 20th and 24th March (meeting them at HMV!!!!). Will never stop supporting this band (and that's a good thing too, seeing as their lyrics are permanently on my skin haha). Been my favourite band for nearly 3 years now with no sign of stopping.
Omg March 24th is my birthday and I'm literally gonna sit in my room and cry and remind myself that I'm not meeting All Time Low lmao.
***** HMV in Cardiff. They're doing a signing. :) MCRxGerard1 Aw, don't cry! I'm sure you'll get your chance one day. I wouldn't be going if it wasn't only in the next town, haha. Happy birthday for 24th March! My birthday is the day Future Hearts comes out. :D
***** I do not understand this comment, I apologise.
Hey! That's really cool that you're going to meet them! Do you know if they're doing a signing in London?
Sixer_At_Six Thanks! All the dates were tweeted by HMV. :) twitter.com/hmvtweets/status/573785757199917057
The other day my parents were fighting, I was just taking a shower, crying and trying to sing this song. Thank you, guys,
This is my official song for 2017, this is whats gonna help me through
My song for 2019 💚
Someone please make an actual kids in the dark club or something
Annabeth Chase yes
Annabeth Chase YES!!JUST...YES!!!!
Annabeth Chase it's a great idea but then it would be crowded by how many outcasts there are
Bailey Tipton there'd be multiple branches of the Kids in the Dark.
Annabeth Chase hi annabeth chase :3
five years later and this song is still so fucking powerful and anthemic
something abt this song makes me feel immense comfort - “beautiful scars on critical veins” makes me have chills. i want a tattoo of that tbh
coming back to this song after years of not hearing it has me feeling all types of ways. this was my anthem for so long but i drifted. the first second 10 seconds of the song flooded my mind with memories of myself crying to this song. the 3 minute duration was complete deja vue of how i used to feel. my goodness i was so lost
So now I'm waiting for my Hogwarts letter AND my Kids In The Dark letter... ;-;
Ally di Angelo we will always wait huh
yeah me too... and my satyr
Samee 😂
Ally di Angelo I'm waiting for my Hogwarts letter kids in the dark letter and a wise old Jedi to come pick me up
Ally di Angelo so relatable 😂
Literally the watching the video makes me want to be there

+Alina Loves 5sos I AGREE FAM
When this song came out, I was depressed af, I even tried to kill ms a few times. I was 15, I was a kid and I felt so alone, specially because in my country this music was only for freaks, and everyone treated me like that. This song helped me so much in that time, because I realized that I wasn't alone, I was only in the dark. Now looking back, I can perfectly see my young me listening this song, working alone in the library of school, and... she is happy, she's not as sad as she think she is, and that makes me happy, cause now I know that I choose the right music, now I'm not in the dark anymore.
You're not alone!! However you feel, there's always someone who can relate to you. Like me
we love you, love yourself and everything will be fine
Im from India...❤ what u went through is the same ive been through....we are not alone❤❤
Each state needs to have a kids in the dark club that meets once a week! Then once a month/year we can have a giant kids in the dark meeting and every person from every kids in the dark group will meet at a certain place and we can all meet and help each other!!
I.e. raves?
why just the states I live in England they need one everywhere
Charlotte Carson
Yeah sorry! You guys need it too. I live in America and I wasn't thinking.
+Xx.EmoTrinty.xX StumpUrie and countrys
omg yess I'm starting a petition
As a person who has suffered through a toxic family environment and abuse, this touches me in a personal way. Thank you for showing me I have a way out.
When I was younger I always wished this was a thing and I would get a letter and be able to meet people who actually understood me 😭
