25 years, and I still can't hear this song without hearing the progressively faster beeps starting at 1:50 signaling the end of your run in the warehouse
I first listen to this song few years ago while playing the n64, tony hawk pro skater without speaking a word of english or understanding this kind of music, but once i did, i loved it. Music is really a universe language and transcend time and language barriers. Now here i am, looking older all the time, feeling younger in my mind.
How on earth I have been missing this band my entire life, it's got everything I could ever want to, rock, air instruments, a shirtless man, suited men, and dogs!!

My childhood friend died of cancer at 17 and him and i used to play THPS for hours and hours, and we also used to skateboard together. I'll be 34 in June and every time i hear this song it reminds me of him and puts a smile on my face.
that's right man! be happy that it happened. that you had one of the best childhood with your friend. and that you gave him one awesome childhood too. I hope it doesn't offend you or sound that I'm saying to not mourn your friend. I'm pretty sure that's what he wanted for you to be happy. I mean if I die I don't want my mourners to be sad. If I leave them crying I might as well not have any friends.

Thought I grew out of Ska, but watching this video from a react video just made me look for my old faves and put this song at the helm. It just reignited my love for Ska. Sad took me so long to find this song, but the lyrics seemed to have aged phenomenally.
@@jorgerojas4388 a form of music which came out of Jamaica in the late 1950s It became incredibly popular in the 1970s in the United Kingdom with the term “two tone” and giving birth to such groups as “The Specials” who were a band of multiple ethnicities all living in the Coventry Area of the Midlands. Ska is sighted also as being the music that was at the forefront of bridging ethnic segregations which ran rife at the time, enthusing Punk, Reggae, and Rock N Roll into a form of music which to this day is enjoyed by millions. In the 90s Ska went through a form of resurrection with Pop Punk groups picking up aspects of the genre. Now in 2023 Ska sits in a deserved place of reverence as one of musics most enduring genre’s and is once again making a comeback, with social media influencers and a host of ska/punk groups, particularly from the US and Japan making waves on the scene
😭 I was in a bad mood and this song always cheers me up. I saw Goldfinger way back in 2009 right before my 18th birthday and I was terrified that I was about to become an adult. Now I’m 32 and honestly I’m still waiting for when I finally feel like a grown up.
The truth of life. This song is all about experiencing The adolescents that we were heading into and then reflecting on the adolescence we had been through. Sometimes all the we can do is just sit and watch time go but if I have to say goodbye life's too short to watch it fly...
"So here I am, growing older all the time, Looking older all the time, Feeling younger in my mind..." Now that I'm 34 years old, I can relate to this lyrics. The memories from when I was in junior high played the THPS game in my PSX while this song playing on the background. A very precious memory.
There was a little place downtown called Virtual Megaplex for a bit. Little rooms with a couch, surround sound and every console and game imaginable. My buddy Kevin and I would go down there almost daily. We’d win money occasionally in THPS tourneys. There was a sign over the toilet that said, “if you sprinkle when you tinkle, please be neat and wipe the seat.” The things that stick with you sometimes...
You guys still sound incredible. I remember when I first heard this on the Tony Hawk demo. The lyrics didn't mean much to me back then, but I feel like I live them every day. Thanks for the memories.
I swear, the first time Feldmann sings "looking older all the time", he gestures or grabs his hair and makes a terrific face regarding the passage of time. It hit me as a low key iconic moment. But, now, it's been edited out with Charlie greeting his sweet dog instead. Wish we could have both on the screen, at the very least. Anyways, This video, your energy and passion searing through, was one of the very few actually bright and uplifting spots during lockdown. Thank you, guys.
this made me literally CRYING. My adolescence is gone forever. I used to listen to this playing THPS on playstation. Now I'm 40 and I understood the text more than ever.
34 here o/ And I couldn't love this song anymore I think because of the lyrics ^_^ A good quote for you to remember is; If you carry your childhood with you, you'll never grow old. So don't become old adult farts. Be fun old people willing to joke and play and laugh.
I just love how several members have dogs that just roll up mid-recording, completely encapsulating the feeling of the music. Like you ask "what's the feeling?" and the correct answer is just look at the dog rolling up on the guitarist mid-recording.
I keep returning to this song/video ever since it was uploaded. Everybody's talking about THPS and I'm just tickled about the legend on bass. I hadn't checked in with Goldfinger or MxPx in years until this video and was delighted to see Mike Herrera paired up with these guys! My older brother was into MxPx when I was very young so they were my intro to alternative music and became my "favorite band" growing up. 🤘🏻
I remember that last day before school started we would dedicate the whole day to skating, from morning afternoon to night...I was far from good but I cherished just the freedom, skating different spots, and just being kids...good times
@MusicMoviesGames I was tearing this game up with combos left, right and centre. How the passage of time is cruel, I'm lucky if I can string a high combo score
what a time to grow up. Playin THPS on Playstation, tryin Kickflips and went into a halfpipe with a shopping cart. Nearly nothing but fun. Thanks Goldfinger! I am 37 years old and i still listen to your music!
Only the singer has a studio from what I can see... the others are just in their jam room, the bass player has a whole wall full of antique cameras in the shot lol.
Tough not to get the eyes tearing, after so many years, since childhood, rocking out to this song, and then all the memories come back and you feel like being there again... "Here I am, growing older all the time, looking older all the time, feeling younger in my mind" never made so much sense. Thank you Goldfinger!!!
Damn dude, feel the exact same thing and welled up reading your comment. Amazing how songs like this can transport you to another time, another life, another "you". I'm happy now, really happy. Amazing wife, incredible son, but I still get emotional thinking about 20 years ago. I don't know why really. My wife doesn't have those nostalgic feelings about high school and I know alot of people don't. For me, it's hard not to happy cry thinking about the mid 90s and how life felt then. Part of me wishes I could go back..... Even for just a day.
1999 : i was 14,, playing THPS in my playstation while listening this song 2020 : i was 35 and still listening this song as my moodbooster in my office .. "so here i am growing older all the time .. looking older all the time .. feeling younger in my mind"
So here I am Doing everything I can Holding on to what I am Pretending I'm a superman I'm trying to keep The ground on my feet It seems the world's falling down around me The nights are all long Yeah, I'm singing this song To try and make the answers more than maybe And I'm so confused about what to do Sometimes I wanna throw it all away So here I am Growing older all the time Looking older all the time Feeling younger in my mind So here I am Doing everything I can Holding on to what I am Pretending I'm a superman I'm trying to sleep I lost count of sheep My mind is racing faster every minute But could I do more? Yeah, I'm really not sure I know I'm running circles but I can't quit And I'm so confused about what to do Sometimes I wanna throw it all away Controlling everything in sight Feeling weak, I don't feel right You're telling me I have to change Telling me to act my age What if all that I can do Is just sit and watch time go Then I'll have to say goodbye Life's too short to watch it fly To watch it fly So here I am Growing older all the time Looking older all the time Feeling younger in my mind So here I am Doing everything I can Holding on to what I am Pretending I'm a superman Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
These guys are so freaking underrated. Like a lot of millennials, my first time listening to these guys was from Tony Hawk’s pro skater. Ask any millennial who either listens to rock or not, if they played this video game, this was their favorite song. This band has aged so well. Their most recent album is incredible
@Master Shake as someone who would happily be a millennial if I could have chosen my own birthdate, started doing tour production (guitar/bass tech, then production management, then tour management/tour accounting) during the third wave ska era (which resulted in me seeing *way* too many ska/ska punk bands with dumb puns using "ska" in their names) and still work in the same field, i just have to respond with "whaaaa?" - most ska isn't my thing (the artists I'm about to list are exceptions), but if you think... for example, Desmond Dekker sounds like the Specials, and both sound like Operation Ivy... you may need a hearing exam. 😃
"So... what's your instrument?" Drums "And you?" Brass "And what about that guy?" He has.... *Playstation 1 with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and an Analog TV*
My dad bought me THPS 1+2 and I love it! This song was in there and my dad used to play in college. This song has been stuck in my head ever since I heard it!
Young Sachi for whatever reason I just pictured both of you guys, I assume you’re guys, in an empty warehouse, skating around lost, yelling about tapes.
SAMEEEE!!!! 37 TURNING 38 NOV 1ST!!! Back then i listened to this song on my cd player everyday! Brings so much back from the past. They still sound the same!
the best part about this is that it proves that we didn't forget them, and they didn't forget us. stay healthy, stay happy, there is always light at the end of the tunnel! And this is for everyone reading this too! Love all of you!
Listening to this song and paying attention to the lyrics now in my mid 30's really hits me in a different way than it did when I used to listen to it as a teenager....
P.S. If you haven't already, you should check out Mike Herrera's acoustic cover of the song. Playing it acoustically adds even more of a melancholy vibe to the song.
I heard someone try to explain Ska punk to someone and they said "It's what goes through a teenagers mind when they find out there are more mozzarella sticks" Ive never heard anything more accurate haha
I get goose bumps all over my body when I hear this song as it brings back so many memories of my youth. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, skate boarding, going out with friends, not worrying about anything, having a good time. enjoying the summers as a teenager. Please take me back.
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1+2 Remastered coming September 4th for Xbox, Playstation, and PC! Goldfinger will be on the soundtrack too! WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE!

It became incredibly popular in the 1970s in the United Kingdom with the term “two tone” and giving birth to such groups as “The Specials” who were a band of multiple ethnicities all living in the Coventry Area of the Midlands. Ska is sighted also as being the music that was at the forefront of bridging ethnic segregations which ran rife at the time, enthusing Punk, Reggae, and Rock N Roll into a form of music which to this day is enjoyed by millions.
In the 90s Ska went through a form of resurrection with Pop Punk groups picking up aspects of the genre.
Now in 2023 Ska sits in a deserved place of reverence as one of musics most enduring genre’s and is once again making a comeback, with social media influencers and a host of ska/punk groups, particularly from the US and Japan making waves on the scene
@@andrewmclaren272 damn now thats what I call an informative reply thank u so much
these guys have aged so gracefully. they look so bright, healthy, happy, and genuinely enjoying their time here on earth.
1999: listening to Goldfinger in THPS as a 7th grader
2020: listening to Goldfinger while finishing patient charts as a doctor
Cool, cheers buddy
you are awesome, and i love you x
Lets go!! Youth never dies!
Yup...my OR is always the one with the best music playing 🤘😷
I bet you almost grabbed a skateboard and started flipping over patients.
Dog: "Im just happy to be here."
Malal no free rides, hand his ass a tambourine or something
Goodest boy
Yee :3
😭 I was in a bad mood and this song always cheers me up.
I saw Goldfinger way back in 2009 right before my 18th birthday and I was terrified that I was about to become an adult.
Now I’m 32 and honestly I’m still waiting for when I finally feel like a grown up.
Just wait until you crack at least 6 joints just getting out of bed, that should let it set in
True! I'm 31 and I'm still waiting go he a grown up lmao. I'm just a child trapped In a man's body forced to survive in this world.
This song is so jam-packed full of good feelings. Thanks Goldfinger! Keep on rockin’!
1999: Feeling younger in my mind
2021: Getting older all the time
Quite the contrary though.
The truth of life. This song is all about experiencing The adolescents that we were heading into and then reflecting on the adolescence we had been through.
Sometimes all the we can do is just sit and watch time go but if I have to say goodbye life's too short to watch it fly...
"So here I am, growing older all the time,
Looking older all the time,
Feeling younger in my mind..."
Now that I'm 34 years old, I can relate to this lyrics. The memories from when I was in junior high played the THPS game in my PSX while this song playing on the background. A very precious memory.
This is Ajang respecc, Holmes. I’m right there with you.
@@Terrible_Peril we're getting old, brother
Forever young
There was a little place downtown called Virtual Megaplex for a bit. Little rooms with a couch, surround sound and every console and game imaginable. My buddy Kevin and I would go down there almost daily. We’d win money occasionally in THPS tourneys. There was a sign over the toilet that said, “if you sprinkle when you tinkle, please be neat and wipe the seat.”
The things that stick with you sometimes...
@@Terrible_Peril lol I'm happy you remember something from your younger years
You guys still sound incredible. I remember when I first heard this on the Tony Hawk demo. The lyrics didn't mean much to me back then, but I feel like I live them every day. Thanks for the memories.
Respect. I haven't looked into Goldfinger Since their album with 'meet your meat' in early 2000's. They've still got it.
Gonna be a huge resurrection in Ska this year, you can just feel it.
Joseph Freese just need some new illscarlett
@@FATHER3k Oh my God I forgot all about them! Gonna be my jam today bro. Thanks a ton.
@@FATHER3k Thanks for the introduction to illscarlett!
God I hope so, need more ska songs
...yeah...no.😂
This makes Bruce Greene very happy.
Did you know, and I'm pretty sure about this, that ska came before reggae?
I laughed way harder at this than I should have.
Ska is saved
B for Bruce
I been looking for this comment, goodjob
I swear, the first time Feldmann sings "looking older all the time", he gestures or grabs his hair and makes a terrific face regarding the passage of time. It hit me as a low key iconic moment.
But, now, it's been edited out with Charlie greeting his sweet dog instead. Wish we could have both on the screen, at the very least.
Anyways, This video, your energy and passion searing through, was one of the very few actually bright and uplifting spots during lockdown. Thank you, guys.
I'm 38 this year. I still love all this music that I grew up to in the 90,s
this made me literally CRYING. My adolescence is gone forever. I used to listen to this playing THPS on playstation. Now I'm 40 and I understood the text more than ever.
Grow up man.
@@markweston216 poor idiot.
Phabio Seventynine Here I am, Getting Older all the time!!..... Feeling Younger in my mind!
I’m with you buddy ;)
wait hold on. if you're 40 you were 20 when THPS came out in 99? thats not adolescence?
bro, I am sitting right next to you on that couch drinking code red!
Me as a kid in the 90s: That’s a really cool song!
Me almost 30 years old: Holy shit, this song hits close to home.
😭 😭 😭
Me at age 41...
*sniff*
Time's too short to watch it fly....
34 here o/
And I couldn't love this song anymore I think because of the lyrics ^_^
A good quote for you to remember is;
If you carry your childhood with you, you'll never grow old.
So don't become old adult farts.
Be fun old people willing to joke and play and laugh.
Yep its tough to think about 😂
@@Zeithri just turned 34 myself and I couldn’t agree more.
I just love how several members have dogs that just roll up mid-recording, completely encapsulating the feeling of the music. Like you ask "what's the feeling?" and the correct answer is just look at the dog rolling up on the guitarist mid-recording.
I keep returning to this song/video ever since it was uploaded. Everybody's talking about THPS and I'm just tickled about the legend on bass. I hadn't checked in with Goldfinger or MxPx in years until this video and was delighted to see Mike Herrera paired up with these guys! My older brother was into MxPx when I was very young so they were my intro to alternative music and became my "favorite band" growing up. 🤘🏻
The irony with this song is i would play tony hawks pro skater and love that song and listening to it now at 31 those lyrics really hit home
Jerry Meehan Jr dude I’m about to be 30, same exact thing here. Tony Hawk ftw.
Just thinking the same thing...playing THPS 1 on my N64 to now being a 37 yo Father, Husband, homeowner and working two jobs to keep my family going!
Brian Branco that’s awesome!! Love that this song brings us all back!!
Same here, bro. 35 and remember summers of skating with my friends during the day and then some Tony Hawk in the evening.
I remember that last day before school started we would dedicate the whole day to skating, from morning afternoon to night...I was far from good but I cherished just the freedom, skating different spots, and just being kids...good times
2020: I'm 35, I'm in quarantine at home, playing pro skater 1+2 , listening to Goldfinger. All thanks to you guys
@MusicMoviesGames cringe comment
@MusicMoviesGames I was tearing this game up with combos left, right and centre. How the passage of time is cruel, I'm lucky if I can string a high combo score
You are in quarantine thanks to Goldfinger? :O
Quarantine. I’m working my ass off everyday.
what a time to grow up. Playin THPS on Playstation, tryin Kickflips and went into a halfpipe with a shopping cart. Nearly nothing but fun. Thanks Goldfinger! I am 37 years old and i still listen to your music!
When every single member of your band has an entire recording studio
Well when you tour for 25 years you pick up a few things lol
Some of the Bare Naked Ladies didn’t have their instruments at first
Only 2 of them seem to have a legit recording studio set up. The others just have jam rooms.
Only the singer has a studio from what I can see... the others are just in their jam room, the bass player has a whole wall full of antique cameras in the shot lol.
When they’ve been together since the 90s, you think that they might have bought a thing or 2 lol
Tough not to get the eyes tearing, after so many years, since childhood, rocking out to this song, and then all the memories come back and you feel like being there again... "Here I am, growing older all the time, looking older all the time, feeling younger in my mind" never made so much sense. Thank you Goldfinger!!!
Damn dude, feel the exact same thing and welled up reading your comment. Amazing how songs like this can transport you to another time, another life, another "you". I'm happy now, really happy. Amazing wife, incredible son, but I still get emotional thinking about 20 years ago. I don't know why really. My wife doesn't have those nostalgic feelings about high school and I know alot of people don't. For me, it's hard not to happy cry thinking about the mid 90s and how life felt then. Part of me wishes I could go back..... Even for just a day.
@@dflpfan123 Insane how you described exactly how I feel with this song, sooo much nostalgia that looks just as if I could go back there. Cheers man!
@@netartlucas Cheers to you also! Keep "feeling younger in your mind"! I do.
@@dflpfan123 let's keep doing this! =D
We made it.
The 90's kids are still around and love our music.
Man right in the feels ... glad to see yall still rockin! Never stop dont give up !
It might just be that I grew up in the 90s, but the games from the 90's had the best soundtracks of all time.
If this song isn't in the remaster of THPS1 coming out, I suggest we riot.
Good news my friend, they made a specific point to get this one.
@@tunoddenrub Its really going to come back for the warehouse!
it is!
If I'm not mistaken, I believe the entire original soundtrack is included on the remaster.
Already confirmed!
1999 : i was 14,, playing THPS in my playstation while listening this song
2020 : i was 35 and still listening this song as my moodbooster in my office .. "so here i am growing older all the time .. looking older all the time .. feeling younger in my mind"
Dude... XD
You ain't kidding.
Same, but now playing Thps remastered on ps4
Likewise dude. Likewise…
We are making it out of the half pipe with this one!
So here I am
Doing everything I can
Holding on to what I am
Pretending I'm a superman
I'm trying to keep
The ground on my feet
It seems the world's falling down around me
The nights are all long
Yeah, I'm singing this song
To try and make the answers more than maybe
And I'm so confused about what to do
Sometimes I wanna throw it all away
So here I am
Growing older all the time
Looking older all the time
Feeling younger in my mind
So here I am
Doing everything I can
Holding on to what I am
Pretending I'm a superman
I'm trying to sleep
I lost count of sheep
My mind is racing faster every minute
But could I do more?
Yeah, I'm really not sure
I know I'm running circles but I can't quit
And I'm so confused about what to do
Sometimes I wanna throw it all away
Controlling everything in sight
Feeling weak, I don't feel right
You're telling me I have to change
Telling me to act my age
What if all that I can do
Is just sit and watch time go
Then I'll have to say goodbye
Life's too short to watch it fly
To watch it fly
So here I am
Growing older all the time
Looking older all the time
Feeling younger in my mind
So here I am
Doing everything I can
Holding on to what I am
Pretending I'm a superman
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Shoutout to the dog. He's a good boy.
Dogs*
doing their very best
And he’s so confused, about what to do.
He’s a good boy
Sitting here not so patiently waiting for 99 RED BALLOONS!
YASSSSSSS...DO IT GUYS...PLEASE
Echo!
yes please
They did it!
This song means so much to me. From a kid until 29 years young dude.
Oh ship this year turned 37y, i played Tony Hawk's in the 1999 on my chipped PS1 and still love this freaking song...
These guys are so freaking underrated. Like a lot of millennials, my first time listening to these guys was from Tony Hawk’s pro skater. Ask any millennial who either listens to rock or not, if they played this video game, this was their favorite song. This band has aged so well. Their most recent album is incredible
Less Than Jake Losing Streak is a must listen if you haven't yet
@@neonfiresquaw1789 say less my friend
Mike Herrera For the Win.
t hawks pro skater, remember finding the ufo portion of the map?
@Master Shake as someone who would happily be a millennial if I could have chosen my own birthdate, started doing tour production (guitar/bass tech, then production management, then tour management/tour accounting) during the third wave ska era (which resulted in me seeing *way* too many ska/ska punk bands with dumb puns using "ska" in their names) and still work in the same field, i just have to respond with "whaaaa?" - most ska isn't my thing (the artists I'm about to list are exceptions), but if you think... for example, Desmond Dekker sounds like the Specials, and both sound like Operation Ivy... you may need a hearing exam. 😃
"So... what's your instrument?"
Drums
"And you?"
Brass
"And what about that guy?"
He has.... *Playstation 1 with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and an Analog TV*

My dad bought me THPS 1+2 and I love it! This song was in there and my dad used to play in college. This song has been stuck in my head ever since I heard it!
Please please please release these quarantine versions as an album.
If anyone needs me ill be in a warehouse with my skateboard.
Just trying to collect those tapes man.
Young Sachi for whatever reason I just pictured both of you guys, I assume you’re guys, in an empty warehouse, skating around lost, yelling about tapes.
Don't forget to collect S-K-A-T-E while you're at it.
Get that highscore
I'll be grinding some rails at the downhill jam Phoenix
Ska never dies 🤟
Shout out to everyone struggling to stay sober in all this shit.
This was amazing. Can’t believe I missed it! Takes me back to the days of playing THPS. No bills. No cares.
Introducing my daughter to this song, all these years later - she is 9 - is one the best things I have ever done in my life.
Thank you x
Loved this song at 16, seriously hits home at 37.
Same here 38
41 here. Same felling
SAMEEEE!!!! 37 TURNING 38 NOV 1ST!!! Back then i listened to this song on my cd player everyday! Brings so much back from the past. They still sound the same!
34 but still love it
I feel ya. Loved it at 13, hits home at 34
I feel like playing THPS 1 now.
Dude me to
My childhood right here
Nostalgia nivel 1000, cassette color azul, soplando para que encendiera el videojuego en la N64😌
Bailey Sims yup!
Hell yes!!!!
the best part about this is that it proves that we didn't forget them, and they didn't forget us. stay healthy, stay happy, there is always light at the end of the tunnel! And this is for everyone reading this too! Love all of you!
"Here i am growing older all the time; looking older all the time; feeling younger in my mind"
These lyrics couldn't be any more relevant.
the timing is no coincidence.
boooooooah - thank u guys - after 20 years - to enjoy this song - i loved it when i ve been 17 - now 38 - it feels so good - mega thank u
That's Mike Herrera on bass, playing in his new studio. I saw him on Fixer Upper. Studio looks great!
I was wondering if that was him or not. Super cool!
Yup, he's been their new bassist for a couple years now. Was also hopin that they'd use Travis Barker on the drums.
It's good to see Matt Appleton playing every single brass instrument too lol
That n64 blue cartridge. Never forget those good old days
I can't express what I feel. Just crazy!
13 year old me in 99 spent hours on hours playing THPS. Thanks for making my childhood that much better 🤙🏽
Listening to this song and paying attention to the lyrics now in my mid 30's really hits me in a different way than it did when I used to listen to it as a teenager....
P.S. If you haven't already, you should check out Mike Herrera's acoustic cover of the song. Playing it acoustically adds even more of a melancholy vibe to the song.
Holy shit you too hu. Being 10 and listening to this song was a simpler time. I had no idea what the words meant but damn do they hit home now.
probably hits THEM differently as well.
Ikr they were a teeny bopper band when I was in high school
@@savgre9400 no, they weren't.
I heard someone try to explain Ska punk to someone and they said
"It's what goes through a teenagers mind when they find out there are more mozzarella sticks"
Ive never heard anything more accurate haha
came from the FIF group eh ;)
It gives the same feeling of mom bringing home a pizza on an Friday
Joe Dorer BRO!! You listened to Five Iron Frenzy too?! Superpowers, Oh Canada, and All that is Good!
@@joedorer8867 Reese saved my life once!
Dude..... accurate af.
I get goose bumps all over my body when I hear this song as it brings back so many memories of my youth. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, skate boarding, going out with friends, not worrying about anything, having a good time. enjoying the summers as a teenager. Please take me back.
I'm so glad this came up in the algorithm. I needed to hear and enjoy this again.
It’s basically monthly therapy for me at this point. I feel you
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1+2 Remastered coming September 4th for Xbox, Playstation, and PC! Goldfinger will be on the soundtrack too! WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE!
I can show my son the stuff I did as a teen LOL
This song deserves a like for bringing the nostalgic game to me while remembering my old times of Tony Hawks series!
It’s funny cuz I played Burnout and heard I Want and then SSX On Tour and heard My Everything. After that I just listened to everything else on my own cuz I liked those songs.
@@Dexmethylphenidate Try Spokesman of THPS4.
The fact that this video has more than 6 million views in 2 years gives me hope
