I really appreciate the line about people high fiving and freaking out over seeing the northern lights. My first time seeing them was at a bar in Homer, AK. A band was playing, and somebody runs in from outside of the bar and yells, "HEY EVERYBODY THE LIGHTS ARE OUT!!!" and it was like lifting a needle up off a record. The entire bar cleared out, the band stopped playing, and everybody sat in the parking lot on the hoods of their cars just enjoying the greens, pinks, and purple ribbons dancing across the sky. Plenty of people whistled, hooted, hollered, and just all around had an excellent time. Once the aurora died down, everybody shuffled back inside the bar, the band started playing again, and it was business as usual. Truly a magical experience.
God, me too. Have been listening to them since 2015... They have been my fav band since. ill love ya forever guys im in love with your music and the vibes its got
Its so strange how much this band's unique sound has come to define my adolescence. From rocking out to Joanie under a bridge drinking cheap cider out of the bottle at age 15 to playing Camoflage whilst decorating my front room with my fiance at age 21
I feel like I'm being followed. I found TFB years ago when they played at Quinnipiac University. Maps and Flashlight were the soundtrack of my early college years. I grew up in RI and was stoked to have a song named after our tiny state. Now I live in Fairbanks, and feel very flattered that one of my favorite bands keeps making music for me.

I haven't checked my time and I haven't checked my mind Since I saw the northern lights in Fairbanks, Alaska I will keep you posted the same way you keep me posted It's all about giving what you got to someone else But I don't think it's fair that I got stuck here having surgery For something that you did to me While you get to run around...

@@AK_allday_907 Man I miss Alaska too. Hope to go back someday soon. It would have been a great place to sit out this pandemic and generally shit year.
I just moved back home to Pennsylvania from Fairbanks, Alaska. This brought back so many fond memories of my time there. I love this band even more now ❤🙏🏼
Thank you for this :,) it’s giving such good “having fun with friends” summer vibes and like covid19 has cancelled all my plans for trips to see my friends and this song made me feel weirdly comforted ?? Also it’s just a bop.
this video makes me smile so much and just gives me memories about how great that night was when I saw y'all in Fairbanks and went to that party, just some real happiness
Inspired by other comments here to share my Northern Lights story. I was a camp counselor in Northern Minnesota. One night, a counselor ran into our lodge where we would hang out after the kids had gone to bed to let us know that the Northern Lights were out. Everyone ran out and stared at the sky in wonder, high-fiving and freaking out. After a short deliberation, we decided to wake up all the kids in their cabins to go outside and look at the lights. We decided that for some of them it may be their only chance to see something so beautiful, and didn't want to deprive them of the experience. They were confused and groggy when we dragged them out of bed, but as soon as they saw the sky, their faces lit up from the magic. Some of them cried. Some of us cried. It was one of the best memories of my life.
@@ephybateman8508 Holy shit really?! Shame I started undergrad last year :( Also with the new budget I doubt UAF can afford our programs let alone a band haha
@@isaacfenigsohn3839 Yeah, by way of the Concert Board and the student radio station KSUA. You'd be surprised, some of those concerts are funded in part by the student life fee, so if you want to get involved there are ways you can have some input. I started volunteering at the radio station my first semester...uh, over 10 years ago, and still go back to DJ from time to time. This year is weird with covid shutdowns, but it's a fun way to get involved.
this song means so much to me as someone who grew up in Alaska and started listening to the front bottoms before i moved out. i cried when i listened to this song for the first time.
Im here early and yes im proud of that, be proud of me. I'm super excited for a new album I hope i can see you guys live soon performing this new record.
dont go in the winter, go in march. everything is closed in the winter and most people cant handle -30 and the darkness for 20+ hrs a day. memorial day (may) everything opens up but it’s a bit too far out to see the northern lights (by june it’s 23+ hrs of daylight). depending on what you want to go for either march or april for scenery, or may for actual places
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME NOTHIN MAKES ME SO PROUD AS THIS MUSIC GETTING HAPPIER!!! IT MAKES ME FEEL SO GOOD!! Sad I couldn't see you guys in Detroit today... It would have been so perfect! Turning 21, August 21st, with my favorite band... You guys took my concert-virginity two years ago in grand rapids and gave me a new love for music and life. ALWAYS KEEP GOING!! TFBFOREVER!!
I will never forget the time I stumbled across TFB on the If You Make It website and made it a point to see them live. I managed to see them open for BTMI! and had the best time I've had in a long time and in a sense that night saved me from horrible depression, if even for the night. I'll never forget Matt coming up to me telling me I should give him a dollar and complying and kinda bummed when he walked away, but before the sadness crept in he returned and gave me a beer and we watched on as people were playing sex toy bingo. It was in that moment I realized this band was not only great musically, but personally as well. I've never been so stoked for a band to blow up the way that they have and its weird having this pride for them. I've never felt so connected to a band and I don't know if you guys actually read the comment section of your videos, but I want you guys to know that I love y'all and will always listen like your music is the soundtrack to my life. Keep on kicking ass!
Thank you for these songs. I accidentally caught you guys opening up for Say Anything in Chicago. It really altered my life in a positive way. I look forward to the new album. Once again thank you!

Beautiful story man.
this is a great story, made my day.
Love this story. Made my day.
What a human moment, like we're all one big tribe of humans again :)
Was the bar the salty dog cause that’s my favorite place to stop in at when I take the ferry from kodiak on my way to anchorage
This song really reminds me of my home town F A I R B A N K S, A L A S K A
lol!!!
Alaskan pride for life homie!
Y’all
Haha, its the gold dredge at the start and northern lights over the pipeline that got me.
It reminds me of my hometown too. P H I L A D E L P H I A, P E N N S Y L V A N I A. Not sure why.
I really cannot overstate how much I love this band
Same
God, me too. Have been listening to them since 2015... They have been my fav band since. ill love ya forever guys im in love with your music and the vibes its got
SAME SIS SAME
overstate how much you love this band right now
@@bikeybill I simply cannot find the words to do so, sorry to disappoint you
Its so strange how much this band's unique sound has come to define my adolescence. From rocking out to Joanie under a bridge drinking cheap cider out of the bottle at age 15 to playing Camoflage whilst decorating my front room with my fiance at age 21
I feel nostalgic about a place I've never visited
That's called ✨serotonin✨
“I love places I’ve never been, I love the idea of places I’ll never go.”
the big man in the sky reminds me of brian sella from the front bottoms
Brian is God
really? i dont see it.
I think it’s Jesus get your eyes checked
i liked this comment before i watched the video 😂 i was like yeah i like the idea of brain as god
Ain't that just nifty?
This band has done nothing but bring me joy and emotions I wish I could thank everyone of them....THANK YOU GUYS
this video has good vibes
As a Lifelong Alaskan and a TFB fan for as long as I can remember... my life is now complete
The boys are back with anxiety soothing tunes 👌
I feel like I'm being followed. I found TFB years ago when they played at Quinnipiac University. Maps and Flashlight were the soundtrack of my early college years. I grew up in RI and was stoked to have a song named after our tiny state. Now I live in Fairbanks, and feel very flattered that one of my favorite bands keeps making music for me.
It’s so nice being from Alaska and seeing this it means so much to me I feel like crying
i did, i want to go home so bad
This band is becoming like a religion almost. Advising me on how to live my life. "Its all about giving what you got to someone else."
Yes the lyrics omfg 🙌🙌🙌
That’s what NA is for
AIDS
@@khaihoe6174 what about it
Seth Amphetaminess it's all about giving what you got to someone else
I'll always remember riding the carriage trails in bar harbour Maine In the fall with my new wife to this song. Beautiful song.
Found Alaska tourism authority’s new theme song.
The Alaskan Tourism Authority's theme song is a soundtrack into the wild
Nah the anthem of Alaska and the tourists who travel there is still the soundtruck "into the wild" it was and will remain so
Lyrics:
I'm here to certify that I am an official member
Of the latitude 66 Aurora Borealis life
Good stuff is happening all around me
People are high-fiving
People are freaking out...
I haven't checked my time and I haven't checked my mind
Since I saw the northern lights in Fairbanks, Alaska
I will keep you posted the same way you keep me posted
It's all about giving what you got to someone else
But I don't think it's fair that I got stuck here having surgery
For something that you did to me
While you get to run around...
I haven't checked my time and I haven't checked my mind
Since I saw the northern lights in Fairbanks, Alaska
Fairbanks, Alaska...
When I die fall to pieces, who the hell, do I think I am
Close my eyes feel release and who the hell, do I think I am
When I die fall to pieces, close my eyes, feel release
And when you look me in the eyes
Who the hell, do I think I am
Do I think I am
When the river freezes over, I will drive across
Fairbanks, Alaska
But now it's never cold enough, so I am forever lost
Fairbanks, Alaska
When the river freezes over, I will drive across
Fairbanks, Alaska
But now it's never cold enough, so I am forever lost
Fairbanks, Alaska
I haven't checked my time
Fairbanks, Alaska
And I haven't checked my mind
Fairbanks, Alaska
Since I saw the northern lights
Fairbanks, Alaska
Since I saw the northern lights
Fairbanks, Alaska
Just moved to AK and this came up on my recommended videos. It was so cold and I haven't seen the dreamy lights. Feels like the vibe of this song.
Still haven't seen the lights who the hell do I think I am
TFB has a lot of people who haven’t seen the northern lights in years crying in the club right now
Fr man I miss it. I lived there for 15 years and even then no matter what you never missed an opportunity to see the lights.
@@AK_allday_907 Man I miss Alaska too. Hope to go back someday soon. It would have been a great place to sit out this pandemic and generally shit year.
I want to go someday. Who knows when though.
Just when you thought TFB couldn’t get any better they go and post another great song like this-
This is a certified bop but the latest stuff has been kind hit and miss tho
Gay beans || Yeah, I know. :/
@@gaybeans7498 y'all trippin. Camouflage, Montgomery forever, and everyone blooms all slap.
I just moved back home to Pennsylvania from Fairbanks, Alaska. This brought back so many fond memories of my time there. I love this band even more now ❤🙏🏼
vibes are immaculate
Thank you for this :,) it’s giving such good “having fun with friends” summer vibes and like covid19 has cancelled all my plans for trips to see my friends and this song made me feel weirdly comforted ?? Also it’s just a bop.
My friend mason always says tfb has the summertime vibe all the time. Hes right. Just like summer time having fun
My hometown Fairbanks! I saw alot of people I know in this video, good work 👍
2:54 That's a really cute polka dot bikini she has on
She looks so sexy, I bet she speaks a little french
@@ZachisntReal i bet she spent two hole semesters drinking wine
@@welp-help5534 While I was stuck in Jersey, trying to save some money...
Madoc Of Catarina guess we’re just another thing she left behind
@@ZachisntReal I bet she knows goodbye at least
this video makes me smile so much and just gives me memories about how great that night was when I saw y'all in Fairbanks and went to that party, just some real happiness
I love this state and this band
i want what this video has so badly
im glad i exist at the same time as this band
Fairbanks is chill.
VERY chill.
I lived in Fairbanks for three years while my dad was stationed there and I kinda miss it after this song

born and raised in wasilla alaska, moved to oregon about 6 months ago and this video made me cry so hard
I hope this means that TFB are gonna play some shows in Alaska soon!
Wait they filmed a video, but haven't toured? Wow fuck that.
@@kylekalmbach They played here a couple years ago, I think UAF brought them up.
@@ephybateman8508 UAF would be a show, not a tour. 😉 But good enough for me haha!
