Sam Rutherford, the guy talking in the intro and throughout the video, died unexpectedly in his sleep from a heart condition just one year after he made that recording. In reference to that, I named this mixtape series "The best years of your life (are over)." But I just want to take a moment to emphasize those parenthesis. Because no matter how shitty it gets, or however down you may feel... you never know when your last day may be. So try not to take that life of yours for granted. Remember the good, and try to enjoy the present. Even if the only semblance of 'enjoyment' for you right now involves jamming out to a shitty mixtape of broken-up bands on RUclips. :)
I put this mixtape together right as I graduated college. To me, it represents a lot of my teenage emotions: the sadness, regret, frustration, and confusion. But more than that, it's a reminder of all the fun times I had: the relative carefree-ness of it all, the relationships I made, and all the personal growth I went through. Thanks everyone for listening, and bigger thanks to the bands & this scene for the music.
And if you're ever wondering about the photo I chose for this one... I took it during one of the most memorable nights of my life. A memory I can't forget. :)
'I look around at all my friends
The 1-2-3-4-5 dead ends
The kids I'll never see again
The kids who mean the most to me
Staying up until the morning
In my kitchen swapping stories;
Memories I can't forget
No matter how the summer went
We're here!
Forever!
We'll die!
Together!'
~ Merchant Ships - "Something That Matters"
Beautifully written. I can relate strongly to these words. 😀
Thank you for reposting this; I saw it disappeared at one point and this one was my favorite. I can relate heavy to your words. Isn't it cool how music can kinda encapsulate moments and feelings throughout our lives? 💜
I've listened to this mixtape this August once. During my nightshift right after moving to another big and unknown city. This story and this music screwed me up a lot and made me think about my life itself. I fell in love with midwest emo in the same night Then I've lost it on RUclips.
Now I've finally found it.
You're the best, man. Just saying.
Dude! Your video "The best years of your life (are over) vol. 3: A Midwest Emo / Revival Mixtape [36:00]" is currently listed as unavailable. If possible, can I get a MP3 form of it? The playlist and sampling in between songs was awesome and I'd love to have it for a cross-country drive. Thanks for making it, it was awesome--and now I'm just sad it's no longer listed. -Best wishes! - EKC
@@eltonchan6654 Hey, I'm not an author, but I have the mp3 version. Can send it to you via e-mail or somehow. Also fond of this mixtape.
I know it’s a cringe emo thing to say but I really feel like this kind of music is the only way I can explain how I feel...
Quarantine is hitting me really hard. I cant stop thinking that "the best years of my life" are passing right in front of my eyes and how all of them look the same cause I'm not leaving the house. I've gone out more when I had the chance.
People are awful stay in your room
at least you aren't getting people sick man, you won't have to tell your children you infected others bc you wanted to go to a party at 19 instead of 21 or whatever. things will normalize eventually
Me too. It feels that 2019 was yesterday, I was 17. Now I've just turned 19 and I'm still afraid that when I get older I look back and see that I did absolutely nothing in my late teens.
now im crying
Update: I'm still an emo little shit but I'm in uni now and still taking care but actually going out and discovering a bunch of new things. the people there are nice and I hope we can be friends
shit gets better bros, cheers
28 yo and still here.
i’ve been playing this mix since i began my senior year, i graduate high school this month and i’m not ready for what comes after.
Better shit happens. that's what happens
@@nayr642 truth my life.. got better after high school. I mean I miss those people.. but I decided to try college and it's much better and less judgement
so OP don't be scared it's gonna be good:)
I graduated high school in 2013, life is fucking wild man. I’ve been though so many things, so many highs, so many lows. Life gets so much better. I’m actually happy. High school is just four years of your life. It’s a big world, go explore it
thank you guys! i’m glad to hear from your perspectives
Bro i been playing this like a week after it was posted and I'm literally so happy every time I see a new mixtape sone out
I Skipped A Grade And Now I'm In My Senior Year, I Cant Help But Think About How Fast It Was. I'm Really Shy And I Dont Have Any Friends, I Dont Put Myself Out There And Now I'm Scared That I Wasted My Teenage Years. I've Been In Highschool For 2 Years And Now My Last Year Is Being Spent Online. I'm Actually Really Mad At Myself For Not Having Friends Or Being An Ideal "Teen". I Dont Necessarily Wanna Do Bad Things I Just Wanna Get Out There Have Fun, Stay Out Past Curfew At Least Once, Get Yelled At By My Mom, Laugh With My Friends About How We Got Caught But It Was Worth It. I'm Literally Watching My Teenage Years Pass Me By And I Cant Do Anything About It. It's True Hs Does Fly By, If You Guys Are Anything Like Me Just Remember YOLO, Ik It Sounds Cliche Asf But Really What Fun Is It Staying In All The Time That's Not Living, Dont You Wanna Live I Do.
Thanks If You Read This Whole Thing
Edit: Also If You Are Going Out And Having Fun With Your Friends Make Sure You're Being Safe Especially Wear A Mask
I'm supposed to graduate in 2 days. I've been so excited for this, my entire life has led me to this moment.
I tested positive for COVID yesterday. My dad called my school, and they basically told him that there's no way I'm going to be able to attend the ceremony as there's not enough time for me to clear regulations, and since it's held inside it just simply wouldn't be safe.
I'm utterly distraught, because 1) I won't be able to see the majority of the people in my class literally ever again if I don't go, and 2) ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?? I'm just wondering what kind of karma made this happen, I haven't had COVID this whole time but right before the most important day of my life...
This mixtape has meant a lot to me for a couple years now, but listening to it today comes with new emotions. I know not many people can say the same, but I'm going to miss my high school class more than anything. My time at school was hell, but there were so many good people who kept me grounded, and I hate to have to say goodbye to them already.
To my fellow graduates: I wish you all luck in your lives, I hope your graduation ceremonies are everything you ever dreamed they would be. I hope you aren't cheated out of it like I am. The best years of your lives are over! So go start the next chapter :)
Same here dude, got covid and missed my hs graduation. Fucking sucked but I realized that people who want to stay in contact with me will, and those you don't aren't worth worrying about. From one grad to another, goodluck homie, you'll do great.
Sorry to hear man!
2:20am rn. I’m vibing man.
literally same
I gradueted high school this year somewhere in early summer and ever since I have been thinking that i am not getting any younger, and it's scary. My high school life wasn't all that remarcable, yet I miss it, miss seeing my 2 best friends every day and joking about everything or seeing my classmates doing their thing. Also this online learning sucks ass my man. But hey lackluster teenage years might lead to fulfilling 20's. It's shit getting older.
IT"S BACK!
Return of the GOAT
I miss you Matt. It’s so nice to hear your voice again.
Not gonna lie that into already made me flash back to my hs years :( but amazing mix !
I realized recently that I was no one, I wasted my high school years studying for some sort of ivy league university that could convince me that I was finally "better", that I was finally worthy of love. I never went to a party, I never was invited to one, I didn't go to the prom, I had no one to go with. I liked this dude for 6 years and he didn't. He didn't like me back. He doesn't like me. All these efforts into my look, my results, my personality, ... yet it wasn't enough. I asked him why, " I just doesn't like you". But this girl in most of my classes, our classes, she is closer to him than I ever was in 6 years. I hate her, I really do, she doesn't do anything, she is just naturally attracting people. I have a better skin, I am skinnier, I have longer hair, I have fuller lips, I have longer eyelashes, I have fuller eyebrows, I can speak about dostoevsky as I can ramble about The taxi driver. I am cultivated everywhere, music, maths, physics, litterature, history, movies, music, books, ... And yet, I'm not enough.I have no friends, I have no lover, I have no one. I have no one. I tried to change myself as much as I can and yet it seems like I remain the same annoying person. I tried to compare myself with others: perhaps I should try to be a full face, perhaps I should try to go to the gym, be goth, get surgery,... But It won't be me anymore and I won't be anymore. I think I'm gonna stop talking, perhaps I'll get attention with my silence. I wasted my high school years to go to some Ivy league university where I could study engineering. I wasted my high school years.
This sounds ridiculously cheesy, but as someone who has been there and done that, know that it can get better. Maybe those words are utterly meaningless to you right now (I know I hated hearing shit like that when I was younger), but it absolutely turned out to be true.
Younger me can relate to you in some ways. Older & present me can look back and thank myself for developing book smarts, work ethic, and discipline that continues to benefit me every. single. day. of my working career so far.
My advice is to not change who you are, and to know there absolutely is a tribe somewhere out there that'll jive with you. The young adult years ahead of you will be just as formative as the teenage years you just passed. Sincerely wishing you the best of luck.
Im currently living through "the best years of your life" and i think ill carry these songs with me evermore
last year of high school was amazing, miss those days
Quarantine messed me up I dont even wash my ass no mo
I've been listening to this playlist a ton since just before I graduated and it's really helped my anxiety. Even though I hated school and didn't have friends growing up, there's still a weird emptiness in me that was left when I graduated. School, while it was rough, was a sense of routine and normalcy for me, and while being in school I could at least knew what my future would hold for those 9 or so months of classes. Now that i'm out, I don't know where i'll end up and i'm scared for the future. For the kids that may listen to this playlist in the future and are in a similar scenario, don't take your high school years for granted. They fly by and you'll never get them back. Take it all in and realise that for the moment, you're alright.
Im a senior this year. Live it up guys, but not in a dumb way XD
i graduate in less than a month and i’m listening to this on my last school field trip last time in a school bus midwest things
i hated high school when i was in it but now i wonder if it really was the best time of my life. been 7ish years.
thanks to the creator of this playlist.
it introduced me to bands I never thought I'd know.
I've been out of highschool for 5 years now but it feels like yesterday I was getting out of school and driving my shitty car with no ac playing my Brand New CD driving to work
Im about to finish highschool, this is horrible
Same man
Same here dude
it gets so much worse
Frrb
It gets much worse
Enjoy, the rest sometimes its downwards.
thank you I cry every time I listen to your Mixtapes which I think is good. Thanks, buddy.
Laying on my friends floor this morning In San Francisco 6AM exactly
10/9/22
Thanks I love you
this is so beautiful
best years of my life I can say it was highschool, now Im separated from my gf, she is in UK, and me in Poland at colleges. I can see how she grows, and gain new friends but same time im down here on lockdown feeling like I will propably be replaced. I love her so much, she loves me too but I can feel that Im the only thing left which connects her with her old life, the one she escaped from and I feel like a fuckin dead weight. Fear of losing her is terrbile but at the same time, I feel like im stoping her frown her grown up life with my silly kid-like love. I feel bad when Im texting her when she is with new friends and stuff, I feel like im imposing myself but this way of contact is the only thing I can do and I miss her so fuckin much. Im sorry for this comment but I didnt have noone to talk to, and I dont know what to do.
Don't be sorry to be in love with someone dude :)
@@aknael8186 She broke up with me hour ago
@@xEmmeT Oh.. I'm really sorry to hear that. Stay strong ! That happened to me 3 months ago I know it's hard but you will overcome this !
Hey man, what's up
@@abutohan hi, its good tbh, my college experience stared, fell in love with someone who treats me like I'm more than enough and overall its great, but I would be lying if I told that there is a day when I'm not missing my ex and highschool life. I dont talk to her even when she reaches out it would be toxic and would mess up me even more, only thing bad is the fact that im avoiding coming back to my hometowon because of memories and it leads to destroy relationships with my family but its hurtfull for me and my mental condition, as well my ex told me to meet-up at christmas in my hometown cuz she will be in town. Id love to do this due to sentiment of best times but due to selfrespect I think I need to avoid it.
the future scares me so much
Man, what a title. I feel like it's so true, but at the same time I always want to hold onto hope that it isn't. Here's hoping I suppose.
I don't know how I've managed to come across this genre of music and mixtapes, but I'm glad I did whenever it is I did. I feel like I can really relate to these songs, and the people in the comments. These songs are so cozy in a way, like I feel they're truly speaking to me. And if not that, then at least I vibe with the feelings they give. Such a nice genre of music, I've never felt so connected and close to music before now, it's great, but also kinda sad that I'm finding myself relating to music so down and low. If I coulda seen how I would feel as an adult I'd be so disappointed lol. Then again, I guess we all would if we had that kinda foresight.
Thank you so much!
thank you
Большое спасибо!!
