Did mayday parade really comment on this? If so i hope it was sarcastically. Mayday is the saddest band ive ever heard. 18 years later they finally let go of katie and feel good about themselves.
this is our love letter to the scene - to the bands who paved the way for us can’t wait to hear you all singing this back at us soon 🖤 wanna know a real dirty little secret? we've hidden 13 references to other bands in the lyrics of I Miss 2003 👀
This Song sound good, but..... why?! Mayday Parade - A Lesson In Romantics - 2007! The All-American Rejects - 2005 MCR - The Black Parade - 2006! - Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge 2004. Paramore - Riot! - 2007. Motion City Soundtrack - Commit This To Memory - 2005. Simple Plan - Welcome To My Life - Still Not Getting Any...- 2004
Ahhh, now I understand: References don't have from 2003, too. You just sing that you sung to New Found Glory and Good Charlotte (The Anthem) which both fit with 2003.
"So tell me that you’re alright, ‘cause I’m not okay".. I can feel this is what was happened with Linkin Park's vocalist in the past, but the difference is you ADMIT that 'you're not okay' 🙂
Honestly I thought you were just shittily promoting yourself on their page but then I heard the callout to you in the lyrics and it made way more sense.
I was 24, but this was still the favourite time of my life. I still listen to all this kind of music. Bands like As It Is, With Confidence, Waterparks, etc... help me remember just how ace it was!
1.Miserable at Best - Mayday Parade 2.That's what you get 3. Dirty little secret - A.A.R 4.Tell Me That You're Alright - Motion City Soundtrack - Everything Is Alright 5. I'm not ok - M.C.R 6. Best of me - The Starting Line 7.Still four in the morning - The Used - Taste of Ink 8. New Found Glory 9. Welcome to my life - Simple Plan 10. Jaded - Mest (feat. Benji Madden) 11. Complicated - Avril Lavigne 12. The middle - Jimmy Eat World 13. Boring - Blink 182
My mom introduced me to Good Charlotte and Green Day growing up. She bought me my first guitar and encouraged my dreams of becoming a musician. I work in a "boring" field now, sitting at a desk and clicking my mouse a bunch of times every day, but I still want to get into music prod once I have the time/can afford to invest seriously. Thanks mom. I miss you.
Holy shit the amount of references to oldschool songs though - Welcome To My Life, Complicated, I'm Not OK, to name a few - you boys have outdone yourselves, this absolutely rules
I'm not okay simply because I can't believe they are gone... I wish nothing but the best to the guys, but I already miss them with my entire heart. Long Live As It Is
One of the most slept on bands in the scene. Live shows are always killer and they're always changing up their sound every album cycle, very rare that a band can pull it off so well. What a fucking tune this is though.
Also a '91 baby like Patty and honestly, the references and the feel of this hit so close to home right now. I discovered this song in an airport on my way home from seeing my grandma just days before she passed just before New Year's, and I'll be using so much of the music this references during this healing process, like I always do. A girlfriend of mine passed years ago in a car accident right after we listened to a bunch of The Used while getting high in my car just a day or so prior. This music is so engrained in my soul and it makes this song just hit so different nowadays. I miss 2003 as well, and nothing is gonna stop that anymore, because no one was there for me like NFG or MCR or The Used or Mayday Parade or Dashboard.
I graduated in 04 and was definitely part of the hot topic crew and it truly was the last good era for anything and everything. This world is depressing these days and it would be so awesome to have a remote like Adam sandler in click so i could go back and watch videos of my life in those days. Crazy how fast we grow and move through life.
It's honestly kind of scary how fast the 2000s are becoming further and further in the past, very soon teens won't remember that time at all and that makes me sad ): Before everyone including little kids were always on their phones, video cameras were still around, people had separate phones and cameras, subcultures weren't all online, sorry I sound like an old man but honestly those really were the good ole days for me even though I was young.
I was just 10 in 2003. I assume anyone younger than me (28) barely remembers the 2000s. I met my husband in high school when I was 14, when having a flip phone that took shitty pictures was the new cool thing. Now people use Tinder, Bumble, and other dating apps, and it baffles me. When I met my husband, smartphones weren't a thing yet, the iPod nano was only a year or two old, and we didn't have apps yet. To a kid, that time probably sounds ancient or seems like it would be several decades ago with all the tech we have now, but it was just 14 years ago.
I like how this song, on the surface, is about missing the "good ol days" but, you could almost interpret it as a losing a loved one (to death, or breakup) in 2003 song at the same time. Music is wonderful.
Also... "Tell me that you're all right (Motion City Soundtrack - Everything is Alright) Because I'm Not Okay (My Chemical Romance - I'm not okay), I left the best of me (A Day to remember - Best of me) In 2003" Not sure if this was on purpose to pay homage to the oldies of emo-ish bands but, just something I couldn't help but notice! Again, Music is wonderful.
Damn those references. Good Charlotte, the starting line, my Chem, new found glory, The All American Rejects, avril Lavigne, mayday parade, simple plan, motion city soundtrack, the used, jimmy eat world, paramore, mest. Totally would've been cool if they added boys like girls too or even relient K
This totally sounds like it could have been written by A Day to Remember. Especially that pre-chorus, it sounds JUST like them. It doesn't help that Patty's voice has gotten deeper over the years, and is starting to sound a lot like Jeremy. Not a criticism, just an observation. This is awesome. I like it a lot.
@@shnicegaming I don’t think it is, I’m pretty sure it’s just the way that the combination of patty’s new, deeper vocal style, combined with ronnie’s backing vocals, sounds together
I was 15, miss every second of this. Im now a father of 4, army veteran, married for 15 years. Its been a long ride so far and I have many miles left. But if I could go back for 1 day just to see why it was so great, I would in a heart beat. We all get older and will all breathe for the last time, but nothing will ever smell as sweet as our youthful days. This song is amazing.
Not same, but similar (was 16, mom of 2, married 17 years, husband & hs sweetheart is a navy veteran) Also, I gotta ask. Did the military traumatize you as badly as it did my husband?
You guys are keeping that 2003 sound alive and well! You know it’s a damn good tribute too when NFG gives you props too. Miss those days but as long as new bands like you guys are keeping that vibe alive, they’ll never be forgotten.
@@jessymfwilson I'm flattered you would do that just for me. "I miss it too." " I just graduated high school." 😳 punctuation makes all the difference sweetheart.
Musically, I love the mix of the sound of 2000s emo and pop punk with the current sound of the scene. Paying homage to the past while creating something new.
In 2003 I was in high school and wasn't even aware of how amazing emo music and culture was...it wasn't until college I found my voice by listening to the likes of Taking back Sunday and the Used. I never looked back. To this day emo isn't dead and it's not a phase, it's a lifestyle and I am who I am because of it. I love this song!!
- "oh, what a cool track" *starts searching for all the references* - "dammit this track is amazing" This is probably going to be your best album guys. Fucking keep it up. ❤️🔥
I hope you guys realize that you really brought back the feeling your talking about missing, I missed 2003 too and I realized why one night while on mushrooms and listening to you…..we lost that rebellious nature and the need to be noticed, I’ve been able to bring that back out of me again and even helped cure my depression and lowered my anxiety cuz of that revelation and was even able to start getting sober all because of that revelation. I love you guys stick around please we’ve lost so much since 2003 let’s get it back
Look I was like 2 in 2003, but this still makes me miss the early 2000's. Everyone was right when they say you shouldn't grow up to fast. While I don't miss school, I really do miss when I could just go to the park, have fun, make friends easily, and have not a care in the world besides when lunch was haha
I was only in 3rd grade in 2003 and yet I remember that was the peak of coming across all these various pop punk bands and I was hooked. 27 now and this shit slaps 🤙🏻
You may miss 2003.. but I miss 2013, discovered band like you.. as it is, dial tones.. heard new bands like pierce the veil, sleeping with sirens.. mayday parade new album, monster in the closet.. banging to All Time low's Don't panic.. Listening to sad boy bands, Real Friends, Knuckle Puck.. that year on 2013, having great time with my highschool crush, bought my first bass guitar.. lot of memories in 2013.. thanks for being there for my teenage years..
Would kill to see them I had tickets however ended up not being able to go as I am too ill due to many illnesses including cancer to go by myself isnt allowed. It is on my bucket list I hope they come back, anywhere near PHX or Scottsdale. This song has helped me so much it's crazy I know they will never see this but, I still hope they know how thankful I am for the music it has helped me to want to survive which is hard given my medical crap.
I was blasting The Ataris - So long Astoria album the other day and someone went up to my car and started to sing the lyrics from a song I was playing. I felt amazing for the rest of the day. The small group of kids who listened to this music made such a big impact on my life and still does.
The early 2000’s were pretty much better in every way. Trends were cooler, music was better, there was just the right amount of technology where it wasn’t overkill, social media didn’t tell everyone what to be offended by, I mean the list goes on. All my opinion of course lol.
Every time I hear this song, I have it full blast much to my husbands dismay! This is the song I'm singing at 4 in the morning at the top of my lungs! This is also the song that got me into As It Is. and I'm hating myself because their whole discography is gold! I'm a late bloomer, but this band means so much to me nowadays! Just hate they aren't touring anymore 😞
For someone who exclusively listens to metalcore, deathcore, and death metal, I must say that this song is an absolute banger. That pre chorus is so damn catchy
The homage paid to all these different bands (before I even knew what the song was about) gave me chills when I caught them the first time listening. This deserves so much love guys!!
This is such a great song and it captures the period of time perfectly, through reference and sound. I think the world itself misses 2003, things were much simpler back then, everything has got a little weird the last 10 years or so! There’s a lot of good nowadays but I think the damage social media has caused, the divide through politics and the pandemic has made a lot of people feel more alone than ever. Thanks for the music lads, it keeps us a community!
I can't get enough of this song and 44 years old at 2022 and 2003 being the year I was married, I look back at everything and realize that things are just as good now as they were then.REALLY!!l
When you've been supporting Patty/As It Is for so long you tear up at Best Of Me being part of the chorus cause it's the first song he learned on guitar
I can’t stop listening to this song! It’s so damn good! I love the numerous references within the lyrics! This song takes me back to a time when I was a teenager and life was so much easier. Life was calm and the worst thing I had to worry about at the time was how late I was gonna stay up. This song is a much needed escape for me at a time when my life is kind of heavy at the moment. Thank you guys for this absolute masterpiece and for all of the music through the years. 🙏🖤🖤
Yeah I was born 1995 and I was about 8 or 7 years old in 2003 and in like 2nd or 3rd grade, I was really young in 2003 but I still remember some of it, alot of things in Life and the World were better back then, People were nicer and got along and talked to each other and were not glued to their phones or computers all day, There wasn't as much division in politics and culture, the economy was better, there wasn't as much violence , crime, drugs stuff like that, the Early to Mid 2000s and even before that 1990s for people who are old enough to remember were truly good times, alot of things both in my Personal Life and also the World in general started going downhill around the time I was 13 or 14 years old in the late 2000s all the way until today and some of them have never recovered, but then again one day when It's like 2030 people will say they miss the 2010s and 2020s so its hard to say, people just be happy nice to each other and be thankful for and appreciate everyday
Bro I graduated in 2003!! I do miss those days!! Just discovered you today, subbed and came straight to the comments to see if anyone else thought of New Found Glory when they heard this!! 😅 Keep rockin on my guys!!
My friend shared this song and as soon as I heard it I started to tear up. I was 13 in 2003, it's the year that my mom passed away, so the lyrics really got me. Thank you for making this 😭😭❤️
Listening to this song, basically on repeat lately.. I'd have to say I miss the year 2010.. Im school I had the opportunity to graduate an become a hotel business manager. I got several abused in the head I started having seizures an haven't been the same since, so this song hits home for me!!
I feel exactly the same. I've always listened to all different types of music being a musician, but I've never really 'grown out' of anything. If you liked it then, the chances are you'd like it now because it was awesome in the first place or nostalgia. UNLESS you listened for reasons other than the music. I still listen to ALOT of early pop punk and love it ( Homegrown anyone ) and newer stuff like Greyscale and still follow alot of those bands like NFG who are so consistent it's crazy. It's sooo catchy and the hooks, melodies and vocals are like amped up super catchy pop. I recognised many references in this. Loved the first two As it Is albums and looks like this one too. Really keeping the torch alive.
This damn song gets me every single time. Those were the best years of my life. I will ALWAYS be a punk rock/emo kid until I die. The nostalgia is this song is out of this world.
2003-2004 I was a Junior in HS. So many badass things happened that year. Dated a girl that changed my life to this day. No I didnt marry her, nor did our relationship last through 2005. But she will always hold a special place in my heart. I was a SAVAGE skateboarder too
Graduated elementary in 2003, kids in the area are all following a game trend whether it is trading card game or rubber bands whatever toy we can think of because literally everything we see as a kid is a toy, every kids dream is to collect everyone's cards or rubber bands and be the best in town. Or just plain old game of tag and hide and seek after school at the school yard before it gets dark. Get home with your mom cooking you a nice dinner and everyone in the table is talking about their day. Sleep, repeat. No cellphone and apps.
*Lyrics:* I've been feeling old and out of context And if I'm really being honest I miss everything I had at sixteen Now I'm feeling miserable at best I guess that's what you get when your dirty little secret Is how I miss the year that gets me So tell me that you're alright, 'cause I'm not okay I left the best of me in 2003 Now life is boring, let's write a story where we never grow up Still four in the morning, Singing New Found Glory at the top of our lungs So tell me that you're alright, 'cause I'm not okay I left the best of me in 2003 I'm in the middle of a crisis Welcome to my life, no I don't think that I like this I can't believe I got this jaded (got this jaded) I remember singing to "The Anthem" My friends were the best, wish I knew it when I had them 'Cause now it's kind of complicated So tell me that you're alright, 'cause I'm not okay I left the best of me in 2003 Now life is boring, let's write a story where we never grow up Still four in the morning, Singing New Found Glory at the top of our lungs So tell me that you're alright, 'cause I'm not okay I left the best of me in 2003 I'd drive through every red light just so I could press rewind (We'll go back in time) So let me kill the headlights, maybe if we close our eyes (We'll go back in time) I'd drive through every red light just so I could press rewind (We'll go back in time) So let me kill the headlights, maybe if we close our eyes (We'll go back in time) So tell me that you're alright, 'cause I'm not okay I left the best of me in 2003 Now life is boring, let's write a story where we never grow up Still four in the morning Singing New Found Glory at the top of our lungs So tell me that you're alright, 'cause I'm not okay I left the best of me in 2003
I’ve lost too many friends for various reasons. I struggled with addiction, alcoholism, depression and anxiety since I was 14. I have tried to take my own life three times in the last ten years, the first at only 20 years old because the girl I was supposed to marry who I had known since 2003 overdosed. I recently just left my hometown, and everything I once knew behind to try and find a life somewhere else and my 9 year old cat died during the move…. I found this song yesterday with tears in my eyes, while considering drowning myself in the pond behind my home. This song may have saved me. It’s Music like this that keeps me going every day, that keeps me on this planet grinding even when everything is going against me. That reminds me I’m not the only one that hurts and wishes they could go back to when things were simpler. Thank you - A new lifelong fan
THIS SONG IS VERY VERY VERY VERY AMAZING, I'm so happy for all this progress and that you guys have changed my life with your music, it's gratifying to see the level your music moves not only with me but with the guys, I LOVE YOU AS IT IS!!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
I'm about to turn 18, on November 14th. It's actually nuts that 2003 was that long ago. I'm simultaneously really young compared to others (especially the ones that reminisce on those days) but also basically an adult.
THIS SONGN IS AWESOME!!! I became a mother in 2003 right after my 18th birthday it was also the year I was supposed to graduate and I feel like even though I love my son and would never give him up I did leave a good part of The Best of Me in 2003 because that's where I left my youth. Again I love my kids and I wouldn't give them up for anything but I do wish I would have made better decisions when I was younger.

🖤🖤
👻
..Cuz now I'm feeling miserable at best. 🖤
Did mayday parade really comment on this? If so i hope it was sarcastically. Mayday is the saddest band ive ever heard. 18 years later they finally let go of katie and feel good about themselves.

The anthem (good Charlotte)
"So tell me that you’re alright, ‘cause I’m not okay"..

Which NFG song are you singing? 🤔
Yoooo !!!
I love you NFG
Honestly I thought you were just shittily promoting yourself on their page but then I heard the callout to you in the lyrics and it made way more sense.
My friends over you. What a blast from the past 🔥🤯

This sounds more like new ADTR than new ADTR and I love it.
I've been scrolling waiting to see an ADTR post! Lol

Man! I could have sworn Jeremy was singing on this track!!
@@ibelievein IKR?! I watched the video to see if he was in it 😅

Wish i would have scrolled far enough to see this before i posted my comment... *facepalm*

This takes me back to the days of skating with friends, playing a lot of Tony Hawk, ordering off the McD dollar menu with friends at 2am.
God damn man, this song is *so* good. Makes me feel so proud to be a part of the scene all these years!
It's honestly kind of scary how fast the 2000s are becoming further and further in the past, very soon teens won't remember that time at all and that makes me sad ): Before everyone including little kids were always on their phones, video cameras were still around, people had separate phones and cameras, subcultures weren't all online, sorry I sound like an old man but honestly those really were the good ole days for me even though I was young.

And now i feel dumb. I just read their comment on the video saying they put hidden references in this song. K bye.
@@dustindickey9202 I think best of me is actually a reference to The Starting Line!
This deserves way more views. It’s absolute emo fire.
I love this! I'm 37 and feel the same. Had some great crazy wonderful years. "Can't believe I got this jaded."
Avril Lavigne and Simple Plan releasing new songs just a few days ago and now this incredible song? Gosh! The 2000's has been so relevant this week
I think this affirmation works
Oh yes 🖤
Good old times :3
Damn those references. Good Charlotte, the starting line, my Chem, new found glory, The All American Rejects, avril Lavigne, mayday parade, simple plan, motion city soundtrack, the used, jimmy eat world, paramore, mest. Totally would've been cool if they added boys like girls too or even relient K
The best of me could be a 2 for 1 reference. As both the starting line and sum 41 have a song titled that
Jaded was a mest reference yea ?
you nailed it, they said 13 references
And also Dear whoever , from first to last, Romantic Emily, Scary kids scaring kids they're are pure EMO
oohh I forgot the most emo one "Alesana"
@@geoffworsnop5726 So there was more than 13 like patty said

me too, 2005 to 2012 were golden years
This totally sounds like it could have been written by A Day to Remember. Especially that pre-chorus, it sounds JUST like them.
It doesn't help that Patty's voice has gotten deeper over the years, and is starting to sound a lot like Jeremy.
Not a criticism, just an observation. This is awesome. I like it a lot.

I thought the EXACT same thing!! Even had to check that the song didn’t feature Jeremy McKinnon
I was 15, miss every second of this. Im now a father of 4, army veteran, married for 15 years. Its been a long ride so far and I have many miles left. But if I could go back for 1 day just to see why it was so great, I would in a heart beat. We all get older and will all breathe for the last time, but nothing will ever smell as sweet as our youthful days. This song is amazing.
Not same, but similar (was 16, mom of 2, married 17 years, husband & hs sweetheart is a navy veteran)
Also, I gotta ask. Did the military traumatize you as badly as it did my husband?
murderer
I'm not crying, you're crying 😢 as a 90s baby and my childhood was from the 00s, I miss it dearly. 90s and 00s music gets me in the feels
You guys are keeping that 2003 sound alive and well! You know it’s a damn good tribute too when NFG gives you props too. Miss those days but as long as new bands like you guys are keeping that vibe alive, they’ll never be forgotten.
I was a freshman in high school in 2003. High School, in hindsight, were the best days of my life.
I love how this song is meant to give love to the scene. It's good to know bands like these never forgot where they came from
I miss it too. I had just graduated High School. One of the best summers of my life.
Damn Old asf
How does it feel
You miss 2003 and graduated high school last year? I miss 2003 for the same reason this song explains because I was in high school in 2003...
@@fabreeziohginn-okie3688 I was referring to 2003 sorry you couldn't comprehend. I edited it just for you. English not your first language?
@@jessymfwilson I'm flattered you would do that just for me. "I miss it too." " I just graduated high school." 😳 punctuation makes all the difference sweetheart.
@@fabreeziohginn-okie3688 🤣 Okay.
Musically, I love the mix of the sound of 2000s emo and pop punk with the current sound of the scene. Paying homage to the past while creating something new.
In 2003 I was in high school and wasn't even aware of how amazing emo music and culture was...it wasn't until college I found my voice by listening to the likes of Taking back Sunday and the Used. I never looked back. To this day emo isn't dead and it's not a phase, it's a lifestyle and I am who I am because of it. I love this song!!
- "oh, what a cool track"
*starts searching for all the references*
- "dammit this track is amazing"
This is probably going to be your best album guys. Fucking keep it up. ❤️🔥
The Great Depression was their best come onnnn
I hope you guys realize that you really brought back the feeling your talking about missing, I missed 2003 too and I realized why one night while on mushrooms and listening to you…..we lost that rebellious nature and the need to be noticed, I’ve been able to bring that back out of me again and even helped cure my depression and lowered my anxiety cuz of that revelation and was even able to start getting sober all because of that revelation. I love you guys stick around please we’ve lost so much since 2003 let’s get it back
I was born In the year 2003, and sometimes I wish I could go back and relive my whole life all over again
Look I was like 2 in 2003, but this still makes me miss the early 2000's. Everyone was right when they say you shouldn't grow up to fast. While I don't miss school, I really do miss when I could just go to the park, have fun, make friends easily, and have not a care in the world besides when lunch was haha
I was only in 3rd grade in 2003 and yet I remember that was the peak of coming across all these various pop punk bands and I was hooked.
27 now and this shit slaps 🤙🏻
Same. I turned 8 that summer and it was the year I became obsessed with the scene unfolding.
I wasn't even born yet in 2003 lol
Same lol 27 and feeling it!
This sound is part of what I miss most about mid-2000's, so thank you!
You may miss 2003.. but I miss 2013, discovered band like you.. as it is, dial tones.. heard new bands like pierce the veil, sleeping with sirens.. mayday parade new album, monster in the closet.. banging to All Time low's Don't panic.. Listening to sad boy bands, Real Friends, Knuckle Puck.. that year on 2013, having great time with my highschool crush, bought my first bass guitar.. lot of memories in 2013.. thanks for being there for my teenage years..
This chorus is everything ADTR sounded like before they stopped caring. I love it.
Agh 2003. I was 13. I miss those days.
Would kill to see them I had tickets however ended up not being able to go as I am too ill due to many illnesses including cancer to go by myself isnt allowed. It is on my bucket list I hope they come back, anywhere near PHX or Scottsdale. This song has helped me so much it's crazy I know they will never see this but, I still hope they know how thankful I am for the music it has helped me to want to survive which is hard given my medical crap.
I was blasting The Ataris - So long Astoria album the other day and someone went up to my car and started to sing the lyrics from a song I was playing. I felt amazing for the rest of the day. The small group of kids who listened to this music made such a big impact on my life and still does.
I'm born in 2005 but listening to this makes me
wonder what its like in 2003, and it also makes me wish I was born earlier
You'll have the best times of your life in 2003. I miss 2003 man.
Best year
The early 2000’s were pretty much better in every way. Trends were cooler, music was better, there was just the right amount of technology where it wasn’t overkill, social media didn’t tell everyone what to be offended by, I mean the list goes on. All my opinion of course lol.
Me too
"Tell me that you're alright, 'cuz I'm *not ok"* That hits deep.
I have looped this endlessly for about 3 hours now and I just can't stop!!! So good!!!
I was a 05 baby but I still know most of the pop punk stuff and I love it because of one artist that recently released a album that was like pop punk
Wow, this song hits hard on the feelings and deep in the soul, almost brought me tears!🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
This hit home allllll the way. Fantastic song.
This is one of the best songs A\\ have ever released. Absolutely massive chorus, and filled to the brim with hooks. Love it.
Every time I hear this song, I have it full blast much to my husbands dismay! This is the song I'm singing at 4 in the morning at the top of my lungs! This is also the song that got me into As It Is. and I'm hating myself because their whole discography is gold! I'm a late bloomer, but this band means so much to me nowadays! Just hate they aren't touring anymore 😞
For someone who exclusively listens to metalcore, deathcore, and death metal, I must say that this song is an absolute banger. That pre chorus is so damn catchy
Yes.
The homage paid to all these different bands (before I even knew what the song was about) gave me chills when I caught them the first time listening. This deserves so much love guys!!
This is such a great song and it captures the period of time perfectly, through reference and sound. I think the world itself misses 2003, things were much simpler back then, everything has got a little weird the last 10 years or so! There’s a lot of good nowadays but I think the damage social media has caused, the divide through politics and the pandemic has made a lot of people feel more alone than ever. Thanks for the music lads, it keeps us a community!
I was 10 in 2003 but very much relate to this
Love this and I'll agree 2003 is when I just got into the music that I still listen to, to this day 🖤🤘🏻
I can't get enough of this song and 44 years old at 2022 and 2003 being the year I was married, I look back at everything and realize that things are just as good now as they were then.REALLY!!l
I Miss As It Is
When you've been supporting Patty/As It Is for so long you tear up at Best Of Me being part of the chorus cause it's the first song he learned on guitar
Didn't discover pop punk till 2017 when I was 17, so a little late to the party lol. Only 3 in 2003 🤣🤣 don't really wish I could go back
This song just appeared on my Spotify discover weekly and I can't stop listening to it.
Just came across this, I'll just be here day dreaming the rest of the day ❤️🩹
AS IT IS was the only band that kept me alive during quarantine so I wouldn't lose my mind in depression thank you Patty and the guys
I can’t stop listening to this song! It’s so damn good! I love the numerous references within the lyrics! This song takes me back to a time when I was a teenager and life was so much easier. Life was calm and the worst thing I had to worry about at the time was how late I was gonna stay up. This song is a much needed escape for me at a time when my life is kind of heavy at the moment. Thank you guys for this absolute masterpiece and for all of the music through the years. 🙏🖤🖤
Yeah I was born 1995 and I was about 8 or 7 years old in 2003 and in like 2nd or 3rd grade, I was really young in 2003 but I still remember some of it, alot of things in Life and the World were better back then, People were nicer and got along and talked to each other and were not glued to their phones or computers all day, There wasn't as much division in politics and culture, the economy was better, there wasn't as much violence , crime, drugs stuff like that, the Early to Mid 2000s and even before that 1990s for people who are old enough to remember were truly good times, alot of things both in my Personal Life and also the World in general started going downhill around the time I was 13 or 14 years old in the late 2000s all the way until today and some of them have never recovered, but then again one day when It's like 2030 people will say they miss the 2010s and 2020s so its hard to say, people just be happy nice to each other and be thankful for and appreciate everyday
Bro I graduated in 2003!! I do miss those days!! Just discovered you today, subbed and came straight to the comments to see if anyone else thought of New Found Glory when they heard this!! 😅 Keep rockin on my guys!!
Same here. Class of 2003!!
My friend shared this song and as soon as I heard it I started to tear up. I was 13 in 2003, it's the year that my mom passed away, so the lyrics really got me. Thank you for making this 😭😭❤️
Can't wait for the new album
AS IT IS still sounds good
Just found this song, and I'm not ok.
It's going on a loop while I relive life at 25.
Love the references and the song is just amazing! So glad to be able to listen to this
Listening to this song, basically on repeat lately.. I'd have to say I miss the year 2010.. Im school I had the opportunity to graduate an become a hotel business manager. I got several abused in the head I started having seizures an haven't been the same since, so this song hits home for me!!
Holy moly this brings me back and so much joy haven’t rocked out this much and LOVE all the references
Heard thus song for the first time yesterday.
I must have played this song over 100 times. No word of a lie.
2003 truly was a good year for me.
The drum beats from 0:48 are from "Sugar we're going down" 🥲🥲😭😭😭
I love the "fuck, I miss 2003," at the end. 😂
I feel exactly the same. I've always listened to all different types of music being a musician, but I've never really 'grown out' of anything. If you liked it then, the chances are you'd like it now because it was awesome in the first place or nostalgia. UNLESS you listened for reasons other than the music. I still listen to ALOT of early pop punk and love it ( Homegrown anyone ) and newer stuff like Greyscale and still follow alot of those bands like NFG who are so consistent it's crazy. It's sooo catchy and the hooks, melodies and vocals are like amped up super catchy pop. I recognised many references in this. Loved the first two As it Is albums and looks like this one too. Really keeping the torch alive.
This damn song gets me every single time. Those were the best years of my life. I will ALWAYS be a punk rock/emo kid until I die. The nostalgia is this song is out of this world.
This music sounds so nostalgic
2003-2004 I was a Junior in HS. So many badass things happened that year. Dated a girl that changed my life to this day. No I didnt marry her, nor did our relationship last through 2005. But she will always hold a special place in my heart. I was a SAVAGE skateboarder too
Graduated elementary in 2003, kids in the
area are all following a game trend whether
it is trading card game or rubber bands
whatever toy we can think of because
literally everything we see as a kid is a toy,
every kids dream is to collect everyone's
cards or rubber bands and be the best in
town. Or just plain old game of tag and
hide and seek after school at the school
yard before it gets dark. Get home with
your mom cooking you a nice dinner and
everyone in the table is talking about their
day. Sleep, repeat. No cellphone and apps.
This song is underated...you miss 2003... I miss 2014..what a year
*Lyrics:*
I've been feeling old and out of context
And if I'm really being honest
I miss everything I had at sixteen
Now I'm feeling miserable at best
I guess that's what you get when your dirty little secret
Is how I miss the year that gets me
So tell me that you're alright, 'cause I'm not okay
I left the best of me in 2003
Now life is boring, let's write a story where we never grow up
Still four in the morning,
Singing New Found Glory at the top of our lungs
So tell me that you're alright, 'cause I'm not okay
I left the best of me in 2003
I'm in the middle of a crisis
Welcome to my life, no I don't think that I like this
I can't believe I got this jaded (got this jaded)
I remember singing to "The Anthem"
My friends were the best, wish I knew it when I had them
'Cause now it's kind of complicated
So tell me that you're alright, 'cause I'm not okay
I left the best of me in 2003
Now life is boring, let's write a story where we never grow up
Still four in the morning,
Singing New Found Glory at the top of our lungs
So tell me that you're alright, 'cause I'm not okay
I left the best of me in 2003
I'd drive through every red light just so I could press rewind
(We'll go back in time)
So let me kill the headlights, maybe if we close our eyes
(We'll go back in time)
I'd drive through every red light just so I could press rewind
(We'll go back in time)
So let me kill the headlights, maybe if we close our eyes
(We'll go back in time)
So tell me that you're alright, 'cause I'm not okay
I left the best of me in 2003
Now life is boring, let's write a story where we never grow up
Still four in the morning
Singing New Found Glory at the top of our lungs
So tell me that you're alright, 'cause I'm not okay
I left the best of me in 2003
I’ve lost too many friends for various reasons. I struggled with addiction, alcoholism, depression and anxiety since I was 14. I have tried to take my own life three times in the last ten years, the first at only 20 years old because the girl I was supposed to marry who I had known since 2003 overdosed. I recently just left my hometown, and everything I once knew behind to try and find a life somewhere else and my 9 year old cat died during the move….
I found this song yesterday with tears in my eyes, while considering drowning myself in the pond behind my home. This song may have saved me.
It’s Music like this that keeps me going every day, that keeps me on this planet grinding even when everything is going against me. That reminds me I’m not the only one that hurts and wishes they could go back to when things were simpler.
Thank you
- A new lifelong fan
Glad you still are here ;)
THIS SONG IS VERY VERY VERY VERY AMAZING, I'm so happy for all this progress and that you guys have changed my life with your music, it's gratifying to see the level your music moves not only with me but with the guys, I LOVE YOU AS IT IS!!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
There's so many beautiful references in this song, I can't 😭🖤
I cannot wait for this honestly
My birth year, epic!
I'm about to turn 18, on November 14th. It's actually nuts that 2003 was that long ago. I'm simultaneously really young compared to others (especially the ones that reminisce on those days) but also basically an adult.
Cherish your youth because it goes by really fast. The most important thing is to build relationships and make memories.
The world needs more guy vocalists with eyeliner!! So happy we have As It Is!
Que música perfeita, que nostalgia dessa época, ouvir New Found Glory e zuar com os amigos da escola, realmente a vida era melhor.
this song is just references to loads of others, make it so much better.
This was all I wanted, just as it is. No puns intended
I was 17 yrs old in 2003 listening to Blink 182, NFG, Simple plan , Avril, Green day and graduating high school Miss those friends and good times
Poxa que legal, em 2003 eu tinha 14 anos, não consigo lembrar muito dessa epoca.
Aqui seria cbjr, cpm 22, pitty kkk
This definitely has that early 2000s feel, which I love to hear! I miss those days.
THIS SONGN IS AWESOME!!!
I became a mother in 2003 right after my 18th birthday it was also the year I was supposed to graduate and I feel like even though I love my son and would never give him up I did leave a good part of The Best of Me in 2003 because that's where I left my youth. Again I love my kids and I wouldn't give them up for anything but I do wish I would have made better decisions when I was younger.
I randomly remembered about this song a week ago and it took me until now to find it again
