My departed wife of 11 years, best friend since 12 and soulmate forever. We’d rock out to punk and metal bands. Bouncing Souls was a go to. I played this at her memorial. Love you always Mandy. Hold on, hold on to what you got.
This band means so much to me, the band that your dad gets dewy eyed over and has 1000's of stories about, this is that band for me. I met my friends, had the best teenage years I could ever have with The Bouncing Souls as one of the bands playing the soundtrack. I still can't listen to True Believers without crying. Partly because back then I knew I'd listen to the lyrics like I do now, looking back at a youth lived perfectly how I wanted it, with people around me I love, but partly because I'm fucking glad I was lucky enough to have those years. I've met some people along the way Some of them split some of them stayed Some of them walk some walk on by I've got a few friends I'll love till I die From all of these people I try to learn Some of them shine some of them burn Some of them rise some of them fall For good or bad I've known them all
@@adrianozuna2149 its bittersweet to lookc back bro, it hurts those precious years are over, you're at an age where you're just about to start living the fuck out of life, for christ sake do it. Party, do dangerous shit, break the law, have sex with women or men or both. Trust me being young with your friends, those golden years of your late teens and very early 20's are going to be a blast, just make sure you put yourself out there and live the fuck out of it.
I'm sorry my B. Truly and deeply. I've died 11 times from OD's n 3-4 other medicals. Idk why I'm so lucky? To hear the ones whom fodnt ma jü e it breaks my soul. After Forever... They're never truly gone as long as they live in ur heart and u wear them in ir sleeve. Like joe Strummer said "through music we can live forever" The memory still remains
I came here from a live wire interview with Jay Weinberg, and have been listening to these guys and the Used. I’m a bit older than most on here (I expect) and this was a genre of music that passed me by. I love it and can see why it means so much to so many people in the comments! It feels to me to be an evolution of shoe gazer bands, but that might only be a connection in my brain and no one else’s. Love to you all and I hope you are all good!
I saw these guys 22 years ago and they have always been a band that’s nothing short of amazing. Greg’s voice is awesome and I get a kick out of a punk front man who smiles and has a genuine happiness about him. Not common in the punk/Oi/Hardcore scenes
always takes me back to 2007 & my senior year... this song used to make me feel there's much hope in life. speechless when I stumbled upon this again, "hold on, hold on to what you got". fuckn ripped my soul, that line
This song means so much to me right now. My beautiful best friend , the girl that means the world to me, Just left on her LDS mission and she changed my life. She made me want to get sober and make life worth living. It's hard to see her go but I'm proud of her and know she change the world. " Hold on to what you got"! Love that line of " she's never coming back again but always in my heart". Don't take anyone in your life for Granted.
I have literally not heard this song since 2008 I had it back then but didn't know the title and lost it, what a trip hearing this and somehow knowing the words that were coming up!
Did you intimidate her? Her mother says you wouldn't let her use the phone Or were you intoxicated Past the point of knowing what was going on? Better yet, don't forget, leave the keys on the TV set Hoping you're gone for the corner bar Here we are after dark, knocking back the Makers Mark Scrounging up ten dollars from my buddy's car, and Lean on Sheena She leans on me a lot Hold on, hold on Hold onto what you've got Intimidate her How'd you make her feel worse than she did before? And I heard you came back later Had the upstairs neighbors banging on the floor Better yet, don't forget, leave the keys on the TV set Hoping you're gone for the corner bar Here we are after dark, knocking back the Makers Mark Scrounging up ten dollars from my buddy's car, and Lean on Sheena She leans on me a lot Hold on, hold on Hold onto what you've got Hold onto what you've got Intimidate her Her mother says you wouldn't let her use the phone Were you intoxicated Past the point of knowing what was going on? Better yet, don't forget, leave the keys on the TV set Hoping you're gone for the corner bar Here we are after dark, knocking back the Makers Mark Scrounging up ten dollars from my buddy's car, and Lean on Sheena She leans on me a lot Hold on, hold on Hold onto what you've got Lean on Sheena She leans on me a lot Hold on, hold on Hold onto what you've got Hold onto what you've got Better yet, don't forget, grab your keys off the TV set Say goodbye to the corner bar Got a friend 'til the end, she's never coming back again Now it's on my mind and in my heart, and Lean on Sheena Lean on Sheena Lean on Sheena She leans on me a lot Hold on, hold on Hold onto what you've got
That's love right there. He wanted her to be happy and he knew she couldn't be if she stayed. Like the saying goes "if you love something, set it free."
Dude watched the girl he wanted get used and ignore him then proceeded in true simpian and sold all his records to send her off to go start a life without him.
Yes! In my case I'm reflected on this video because there's been a girl that you like but in the end, she's gone. And you remember all those moments that you've spent with her ... Beautiful moments that will remain in our heads and in our hearts ...
i love this song because my name is sheena and it relates to me and my relationship with my dad so well. thanks bridge for making that mix cd for me when i have a horrible13th birthday, i'm 21 and bridge still is and always will be my best friend
The only thing cooler than finding a song you truly believe was written for you in some sense is when someone in your life thinks so highly of you that they find a song that THEY know was written for you in some sense. I am twice your age and will tell you, hold on to those friends as they become a lot harder to come by later in life.
one of my favorite bands!! so cool, catchy, talented, perfect rhythm composed with the perfect voice for the stories and thought out lyrics.. check: the gold song..classic, won't let you down
I remember seeing them in Florida in some shitty dive bar and a crowd surfer kicked the light track, it fell down, swong into a speaker and started a fire. Everyone left the club and started to leave and they came outside and yelled “Where are you going? We’re not done!” Great show, great band!
I just want to point out one more time that this is an Avoid One Thing cover. Most people on here don't seem to know. Kudos to the Souls for doing a good job with it.
honestly I don't even know why I'm crying yet... one of my best buds said y'all put on an amazing show, and then soon after I saw your band and this specific song referenced in Nevada by Imogen. looking forward to hearing more of your music, and also learning more about this song
What a meaningful video. He really must've cared for her. He sold his record collection not so that THEY could leave but so that SHE could leave because he knew she had to. This was so touching.
Only realized this was a cover after finding Avoid One Thing's 2002 album dumpster diving at the old Sandy location of Everyday Music in Portland Oregon. One time one of the workers came out but he was cool and just said not to try and sell them back stuff that had been thrown out.
i remember bumpin this song all the time when i was a freshman in high school. holy fuck has everything changed since then. at least this song will always be here
This song is timeless and one of my favorite Souls tracks. I've never really been able to figure out the meaning of the video, though... maybe I'm just dim?
No one seems to know that its a cover of one of the greatest unknown boston bands of all time; Avoid One Thing. LOVE the cover. Sad no one even now knows them.
I love how, no matter how old I get, there will always be these pseudo-pedantic, nit-picky people arguing over what punk "means." Been happening since the 80s, and guess what? No one cares. It's a word - it symbolizes a broad music genre, as well as a style and a subculture. It has also always had political, social and reactionary overtones. What it means to YOU is subjective. And those who say "punk is dead" obviously just have no involvement with the modern, global DIY punk/hc community.
My departed wife of 11 years, best friend since 12 and soulmate forever. We’d rock out to punk and metal bands. Bouncing Souls was a go to. I played this at her memorial. Love you always Mandy. Hold on, hold on to what you got.
Live strong..find a way to carry on...and rawwwwk on!!!
Beautiful bro. I love you
Here is the guy (bassist) who wrote this song. I only just uploaded this for you to see :)
ruclips.net/video/wP2EWvAlr1k/видео.htmlsi=FQX6phzGHt7Wb3N3
So sorry to hear of your wife's passing. What a fucking great song to play at her memorial. Carry on, man!

I've met some people along the way
Some of them split some of them stayed
Some of them walk some walk on by
I've got a few friends I'll love till I die
From all of these people I try to learn
Some of them shine some of them burn
Some of them rise some of them fall
For good or bad I've known them all
I feel really happy for you, i'm fifteen now and i hope i can say the same thing about these years when i grow older

Dewy-eyed dad right here, right now. I'll forever love these guys.
Cock Sparrer or the Casualties for me
Still coping in 2023. love it
3 minutes movie. Everyone watch this has thier own life stories. I love you guys.
Bringing me back to junior high!!!! 38 years old and still jamming to this shit!!!!! Wouldn't have it any other way!!!!
Good taste is ageless!
You were 24 in middle school?? Damn son
@@joshcohn7508 was thinking the same thing! 🤯
45 and still feelin' it right in the chest.
to an old friend who lost the battle with addiction....r.i.p.
I'm sure you'll meet again, somewhere, sometime
When you get there, just call their name and they'll come running. Be at peace buddy.
@Edward Baladinakis love you buddy, stay strong
Sadly, same here :( Stay strong!
this chat reminded me of the jerry seinfeld suicide bit
I'm sorry my B. Truly and deeply.
I've died 11 times from OD's n 3-4 other medicals. Idk why I'm so lucky?
To hear the ones whom fodnt ma jü e it breaks my soul.
After Forever...
They're never truly gone as long as they live in ur heart and u wear them in ir sleeve.
Like joe Strummer said "through music we can live forever"
The memory still remains
I fuckin cry every time I listen to this. Every single time.
Still here, always was.
This song leans on me a lot.
One of the best bands ever. Consistently great albums and one of the best live bands I've had the privilege to see.
My best friend died 7 years ago. The day she died this song popped up on pandora.its been her song eversince
i dont know why but I cry everytime i listen to this song.. say goodbye to the corner bar.. thanks bouncing souls..thanks

Love to you all and I hope you are all good!
Do you mind if I ask your age? I'm not a spring chicken myself. I was born in 78'
I've always thought of them as the band that satisfies fans of all subgenres of punk rock somewhat.
This song and video are a perfect time capsule of what it was like to grow up in NY/NJ in the 2000's. Always makes me smile.
Getting abused by your drunk dad?
I saw these guys 22 years ago and they have always been a band that’s nothing short of amazing. Greg’s voice is awesome and I get a kick out of a punk front man who smiles and has a genuine happiness about him. Not common in the punk/Oi/Hardcore scenes
Well said mate, from nz. Quality.
I've been fortunate enough to hang out with Greg, and you are completely right about that genuine happiness. He's amazing.
Those years may have passed. But each time we hear the songs we loved, the joy they once brought surges anew.
This is still one of the greatest pop punk songs ever written.
Most definitely
i can’t even express how much i love this song & video
always takes me back to 2007 & my senior year... this song used to make me feel there's much hope in life. speechless when I stumbled upon this again, "hold on, hold on to what you got". fuckn ripped my soul, that line
Class of '07... What's up...

I've dedicated this song to my daughter Sheena Marie Equihua..... I miss her
Much Love brother,sorry for your loss
Thank you James it's been 6 years since I last saw her and my eldest son. I'm sure I will get to see them in time soon enough.
Jesse equihua respect, fam.
+N.F. Craig thank you I think about them everyday.... one day soon enough. they'll know their daddy
Jesse equihua never give up stay strong man. Respect from here
I heard song for the first time, today! I love it! Why haven't I heard this before? So many feels with this song!
This was my soundtrack when I was a drunken mess... broken hearted n broken soul.
Stone creek life!
I love this song. Does something to my heart.
They say you shouldn't meet you idols well not in this case. I met the bouncing souls and they were some of the nicest guys you will ever meet .
Jammin to this in my red 97 Honda Civic coupe man...the good old days
There is never a moment in my life to where I wouldn't want to hear this song. Fucking love this cover!
who originally plays this? i could google search but i'm going to bed now.wwwww....
Avoid One Thing is the original artist. I didn't know this was a cover either. So thanks for the info jhp40219
This is the original. No cover
@@T0ODRUNKT0DR1VE no its not dumb fuck
5am. Alone in the toilet. Cried to this song.
Everything is just... sad...
Dude the legend continues. I'm on the toilet and its 3:27am
I have literally not heard this song since 2008 I had it back then but didn't know the title and lost it, what a trip hearing this and somehow knowing the words that were coming up!
Im hearing this for the first time, I never see my name ANYWHERE! great song!
Bouncing Souls, NOFX, Oasis, The Libertines, Nirvana, thank you for making my life.
Oasis lol 4 years later you're exposed on RUclips always knew you were a cop
Oasis?? jesse fuck man, Oasis??
Music is music point blank
Someone just reminded me of this song and now I can't stop listening!
Did you intimidate her?
Her mother says you wouldn't let her use the phone
Or were you intoxicated
Past the point of knowing what was going on?
Better yet, don't forget, leave the keys on the TV set
Hoping you're gone for the corner bar
Here we are after dark, knocking back the Makers Mark
Scrounging up ten dollars from my buddy's car, and
Lean on Sheena
She leans on me a lot
Hold on, hold on
Hold onto what you've got
Intimidate her
How'd you make her feel worse than she did before?
And I heard you came back later
Had the upstairs neighbors banging on the floor
Better yet, don't forget, leave the keys on the TV set
Hoping you're gone for the corner bar
Here we are after dark, knocking back the Makers Mark
Scrounging up ten dollars from my buddy's car, and
Lean on Sheena
She leans on me a lot
Hold on, hold on
Hold onto what you've got
Hold onto what you've got
Intimidate her
Her mother says you wouldn't let her use the phone
Were you intoxicated
Past the point of knowing what was going on?
Better yet, don't forget, leave the keys on the TV set
Hoping you're gone for the corner bar
Here we are after dark, knocking back the Makers Mark
Scrounging up ten dollars from my buddy's car, and
Lean on Sheena
She leans on me a lot
Hold on, hold on
Hold onto what you've got
Lean on Sheena
She leans on me a lot
Hold on, hold on
Hold onto what you've got
Hold onto what you've got
Better yet, don't forget, grab your keys off the TV set
Say goodbye to the corner bar
Got a friend 'til the end, she's never coming back again
Now it's on my mind and in my heart, and
Lean on Sheena
Lean on Sheena
Lean on Sheena
She leans on me a lot
Hold on, hold on
Hold onto what you've got
That's love right there. He wanted her to be happy and he knew she couldn't be if she stayed. Like the saying goes "if you love something, set it free."
nah, dude got friendzoned and used....don't be like that guy.
Sounds like communist propaganda to me
And the dude who didn't give a shit about her got to hit it... 🤔
Dude watched the girl he wanted get used and ignore him then proceeded in true simpian and sold all his records to send her off to go start a life without him.
I live in Jersey and Asbury is my favorite beach!! Seeing them tomorrow at the summer stage at the stone pony!!!
I just recently got into listening to The Bouncing Souls and now I'm in love with them
Going to the show in Tempe in July! This band has been with me through some hard times
Yes! In my case I'm reflected on this video because there's been a girl that you like but in the end, she's gone. And you remember all those moments that you've spent with her ... Beautiful moments that will remain in our heads and in our hearts ...
Same dog
No matter what Bouncing Souls can put me in a good mood !!! thanks guys for the new and old music!!!!
One of the greatest songs I have ever heard.
this has got to be the best representation of 90s youth ever
The Gold Record" (which is the album this track is from) was released in 2006 though.
i said respresentation, they lived through the 90's. I never said this was made in the 90's.
I just don't really understand how it represents the 90s just because the band playing the song lived through the 90s, but oki doke.
80s and 90s generation sometimes got addicts for parents
Well, since alcoholism is included.. I guess ever since alcohol has been around, there have been addicts as parents.
I grew up in Matawan and then Moved to Belmar, use to surf long branch and Asbury in the 90's.. Moved to Arizona in 2005... Brings back memories
i love this song because my name is sheena and it relates to me and my relationship with my dad so well. thanks bridge for making that mix cd for me when i have a horrible13th birthday, i'm 21 and bridge still is and always will be my best friend

Came here to listen and post that my three year old was singing the chorus.
cant stop listen to this song. this is too good.
This song makes me homesick, I miss Asbury.
I’ve never heard this song until today! Wish I’d heard it sooner!
wonderful. melodic masterpiece.
love this hammond in back....
Every time i watch this it breaks my heart but i love it
Can't believe I just remembered this song, probably the same video I was watching 10 years ago 😭😭
This really should've been a big hit single, cover or not. It's actually so damn catchy
Who sings the original?
@@soldierofjesus9138 Avoid One Thing is the original artist
Punk is what punk means to you and your comment embodies that perfectly. Thank you.
one of my favorite bands!! so cool, catchy, talented, perfect rhythm composed with the perfect voice for the stories and thought out lyrics..
check: the gold song..classic, won't let you down
I remember seeing them in Florida in some shitty dive bar and a crowd surfer kicked the light track, it fell down, swong into a speaker and started a fire.
Everyone left the club and started to leave and they came outside and yelled “Where are you going? We’re not done!”
Great show, great band!
it's so beautiful song!!!
I remember I heard this song 4 years ago when i was in high school..
cheers bouncing souls from athens!
one of the greatest things ever
One of my favorite songs ever. I miss you and love you forever. ♥
It's cool to watch this video having been there for good shows / The Wonder Bar and mosy of the Video in the sadly missed Asbury Lanes
A cover from Avoid One Thing ( Joe Gittleman ) of The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Gang Green, Avoid One Thing
God knows how much this song means to me. I love it!!!
Bouncing Souls are Amazing! Great Song!
Still a great song, thank you
how are these guys not more well known than they are?
Thats punk oh yeah
This is by far my favorite music video that i have ever seen.
Most under-rated band in history.
Decided to check these guys out to help me decide if I catch them at Reading Festival this year.
This song says yes. :D
Still here. Still not over this song. Still means a lot.
This song means a lot to me. My mom's name is Sheena and she's always loved this song!
I just want to point out one more time that this is an Avoid One Thing cover. Most people on here don't seem to know. Kudos to the Souls for doing a good job with it.
honestly I don't even know why I'm crying yet... one of my best buds said y'all put on an amazing show, and then soon after I saw your band and this specific song referenced in Nevada by Imogen. looking forward to hearing more of your music, and also learning more about this song
I think it brings tears to the eyes because the videos did a great job at capturing the time period. My favorite was the out tale light at the end.
What a meaningful video. He really must've cared for her. He sold his record collection not so that THEY could leave but so that SHE could leave because he knew she had to. This was so touching.
Seeing these guys open for the Gaslight Anthem next Friday, can't wait!
great video, featuring the punkest bowling alley on the planet, the asbury lanes. asbury park representing hard
Amo esta maldita canción 4ever!! 2019
Only realized this was a cover after finding Avoid One Thing's 2002 album dumpster diving at the old Sandy location of Everyday Music in Portland Oregon. One time one of the workers came out but he was cool and just said not to try and sell them back stuff that had been thrown out.
This video would look so different if it was filmed in Asbury today.
Not ragging on this video, but I've listened to this song many times and this is not what I got from it.
remastered in HD !! COME ON is a good video and amazing song
i love the fact that this is shot all in asbury and the lanes awesome advertisement for that place....which that place is the best venue in nj period
i remember bumpin this song all the time when i was a freshman in high school. holy fuck has everything changed since then. at least this song will always be here
This song is timeless and one of my favorite Souls tracks. I've never really been able to figure out the meaning of the video, though... maybe I'm just dim?
LOVE this song!! :)
👍👍
Awesome band. Seen em at warped tour twice and once with NOFX in Febuary.
No one seems to know that its a cover of one of the greatest unknown boston bands of all time; Avoid One Thing. LOVE the cover. Sad no one even now knows them.
Steinkompf's tone and Mike's snares and splashes put the original to shame. FACTS.
I love this song. Classic.
Got here because of Frank Iero. This is his favorite band
Edit: this sounds awesome! Love the vocals a lot
@iBingers right here bro!!! bouncing souls are legends...no other band will ever be as good as them
It's really amazing this song ... But also sad ...
Lean on She, she means to me a lot ...
I miss you!!!!
Greatest song in the world!!!!
beautiful song
i dont care what anyone wants to label it,great fucking song great fucking band great. cheers
The intro is asbury park, that’s crazy I was just there for a concert and just happened to watch the music video
gonna tattoo "leave the keys on the tv set" on me some day
Sammy g you may have saved my life back then, no else knew how bad it was ❤️
I just heard this song last week for the first time again. Prior havent played it for a long ass time or the Gold Record.
I love how, no matter how old I get, there will always be these pseudo-pedantic, nit-picky people arguing over what punk "means." Been happening since the 80s, and guess what? No one cares. It's a word - it symbolizes a broad music genre, as well as a style and a subculture. It has also always had political, social and reactionary overtones. What it means to YOU is subjective. And those who say "punk is dead" obviously just have no involvement with the modern, global DIY punk/hc community.
"no one cares" truth!
I miss my punk days. :(
I hear you
Just....give me sum gasoline.
Love punk hate antifa fascists
I just love this song.
Best song ever heard as well.
-LeanOnTina
Awesome Band , great Song!
I love the people who made this song and the video.
It's amazing.
On my top songs fer sure.
:D
LEAN ON SHEENA!
