"at least we're still friends, at least we're still alive" - one of my fave lines from any of there songs. perfect way to approach a failed relationship after its over
Hi. 2022, here. I've seen my friends die, my brother hang himself, and my kids struggle to pay rent. I've watched us ALL struggle this year.... To stay hopeful. To stay safe. To stay alive. But...I listen to this band, and things feel somewhere between normal and surreal ... A place I don't mind. Finally.
Take your wings outside, you can't fly in here Besides, a purple sky is better soaring For you my angel You're an angel, you little devil As for me I'll stay inside, I'll be just fine And I'll watch from the window Cannot categorize the nature of this sickness A miracle that you're alive Stuck to the roof of my mouth with a staple Remember last April when we saw US Maple? Somehow the singer showed the Fireside Exactly how I feel And we say goodbye and go underground Or up towards the sky Up in smoke burnt down to size At least we're still friends, at least we're still alive Take your wings outside, no use for them in here Bad luck to open inside, work like umbrellas Like a broken mirror, it's getting clearer The end is closer than ever before And you'll want nothing more When your head hits the floor And you're lost in the darkness And we say goodbye and go underground Or up towards the sky Up in smoke burnt down to size At least we're still friends, at least we're still alive And we say goodbye and go underground Or up towards the sky Up in smoke burnt down to size At least we're still friends, at least we're still alive
Man, I miss that yell that Skiba use to have. You hear it faintly in Continental on Good Mourning, and basically after that never again. So much emotion in it. It was one of the defining reasons I got into this band all those years ago.
there in it because of the people who love their music. they have some of the most loyal fans ever. these are 3 of the nicest guys you will ever meet. and they are the 3 guys that will never sell out.
Well yeah I dig what you're saying and I do love the song. I'm 33. I just saw your comment "the punkest" music ever...Seems to me punk rock started to get really emo...around this time. And that's still true...I like it. But...it's friggin emo-punk. Also nowadays •Ready the Jet•...•Sainte Catherines• for example off the top of my head...I have those records. Punk rock has continued its emo-fication. I'm not complaining I love AMR man I been ordering stuff since 1996 Dill Records! Nobody would sell me a lighter as a young kid so I ordered •Skankin Pickle• lighter haha! USPS Money Order. Anyway I'm old and the punk rick kids have been all emo for a long time now. •Dog Party• tho...their music is kind of a throwback to •Ramones• style/•Queers•/•Screeching Weasel•...they only sound "emo" cuz they're young. They WERE very young, I should say. What I originally wanted to say here...is this song is gr8...but in my life story...we're NOT still friends and we're mostly DEAD. True story. So that's ironic
You don't know Punk then😂 listen to some Crass, Circle Jerks, Black Flag, OFF! that's punk. This is good, but let's hold up on calling this the punkest of punk.
I'm not big on labeling, but I'm sure we can all admit that Alkaline Trio is a big influence on the punk/emo/alternate culture and music scene.. they definitely get my respect..
one thing i never said; "im truly happy in my heart and in my head." the quotes you love best are the ones you always knew but hadn't yet had a chance to say yourself. alkaline trio and kurt vonnegut are the best at it
"REMEMBER LAST APRIL WHEN I SAW YOU AT STAPLES ? AND HOW THAT SONG SAID EXACTLY HOW I FEEL ABD WE SAY GOODBYE ..".. even though those couldn't even be close to the lyrics.. I will forever have that verse incorrectly pressed into my mind and memories thanks my bro A.Aron lol
lmfao this video is hilarious. the bass and guitar player r like just standing there and the drummer is running in circles around them mowing the lawn haha thats so funny
Ooof what I'd give to go to pretty much any show at Fireside Bowl one more time... I actually met Skiba there once. He was by himself in the back trying not to be noticed. I think it was a Lawrence Arms show.
i fucking couldn't agree more man...i miss this alkaline sooo much! it's written with more conviction too! damn record labels...'it's getting clearer...the...end is closer' later
when a band "sells out" it usually means they start going on huge arena tours, and have about ten thousand screaming fourteen year old girls going to every concert. the trio has chosen not to do this. they definately have every bit of potential to play these huge arenas and have tens of millions of fans. but what do they do? they choose to keep the music underground. there not in the game for the money. there not in it for the fame and glory.
It’s important to come back here every few years
Goddamn right. Makes me remember good (GREAT) times.
Never before, you want nothing more
July 2024, here again ❤
Hello from 2020 deep into my quarantine youtube punk rock black hole. At least we're still alive.
Hello from 2021 and the future. The pandemic was a scam, and I have been in my punk rock hole since 1997.
2022
Welcome...
Same still fighting the good fight my ancestors got my back tho!!
The black hole just got me too. Have you seen hot water music anywhere.
Matt Skiba should be awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his lyricism.
Shove that award in a hiney
Listen to bayside tool
And also dans the man
jawbreaker was first
I strongly agree.
ive listened to this song for nearly 20 years.
"at least we're still friends, at least we're still alive" - one of my fave lines from any of there songs. perfect way to approach a failed relationship after its over
I love how it sounds like he’s about to say “at least we’re still in love” but changes it to Still Alive
i love it matt skiba actually smiles in this
:oD
Lol good lord, Dan had hair in this.
Dude this band will.always be my favorite and this song one of my top 5
This sound saved my life thank you men. I know what were doing here, for now.
2022 still kickin ass to this jam!!! 🤘
*2023
The best US Maple reference in a song ever
they're all cute as hell in this just having fun and smiling
15 yrs later, still love this song.. it never gets "old"..
I think I still have the AMR sampler VHS that has this on it.
matt is amazing! old alkaline trio makes my heart sing :)

A place I don't mind. Finally.

@@jasoncoker1625 do you have people in georgia
@@omarilewis6469 no. I don't think so. Hopefully I'm not getting confused with someone else😌

Take your wings outside, you can't fly in here
Besides, a purple sky is better soaring
For you my angel
You're an angel, you little devil
As for me I'll stay inside, I'll be just fine
And I'll watch from the window
Cannot categorize the nature of this sickness
A miracle that you're alive
Stuck to the roof of my mouth with a staple
Remember last April when we saw US Maple?
Somehow the singer showed the Fireside
Exactly how I feel
And we say goodbye and go underground
Or up towards the sky
Up in smoke burnt down to size
At least we're still friends, at least we're still alive
Take your wings outside, no use for them in here
Bad luck to open inside, work like umbrellas
Like a broken mirror, it's getting clearer
The end is closer than ever before
And you'll want nothing more
When your head hits the floor
And you're lost in the darkness
And we say goodbye and go underground
Or up towards the sky
Up in smoke burnt down to size
At least we're still friends, at least we're still alive
And we say goodbye and go underground
Or up towards the sky
Up in smoke burnt down to size
At least we're still friends, at least we're still alive
Young Alkaline were so gifted. Amazing songwriting
Man, I miss that yell that Skiba use to have. You hear it faintly in Continental on Good Mourning, and basically after that never again. So much emotion in it. It was one of the defining reasons I got into this band all those years ago.
Robert E After the surgery on his vocal chords he couldn’t do it anymore.
We actually heard it again a couple times on the new album.
Couldn´t agree more
Good lyrics too
@@jblanken08 If he didn't need surgery, he would have sounded better for Blink 182. I do like his post surgery voice though.
God the nostalgia of this song really takes me back to my high school days.
one of the best trio songs, and def best trio video
I've been watching this same video on RUclips for 16 years now.
Best video ever! with no budget!
Dam this takes me back to high school.
Late 90s High school vibes. 🖤☠️🖤
Probably my favourite Alkaline Trio song
these are my angsty teen years. and now i'm 26. what.
+honeyysecret We are on the same page, where does time go
same here!
lol same, 27 this year. I still dig it !
29, yo!
Quarter Century Club, what up?!
honeyysecret yup I'm 30. still love this Band
there in it because of the people who love their music. they have some of the most loyal fans ever.
these are 3 of the nicest guys you will ever meet.
and they are the 3 guys that will never sell out.
this is the most punk thing ever. its was made on VHS you cant get more punk af
Well yeah I dig what you're saying and I do love the song. I'm 33. I just saw your comment "the punkest" music ever...Seems to me punk rock started to get really emo...around this time. And that's still true...I like it. But...it's friggin emo-punk.

It's like caffeine punk. Doesn't change the fact that it is a good song.
There's nothing less punk than trying to call things punk
I'm not big on labeling, but I'm sure we can all admit that Alkaline Trio is a big influence on the punk/emo/alternate culture and music scene.. they definitely get my respect..
one thing i never said; "im truly happy in my heart and in my head." the quotes you love best are the ones you always knew but hadn't yet had a chance to say yourself. alkaline trio and kurt vonnegut are the best at it
*Top favorite band & author
I love this video and this song
I've heard this song for years. I'm only now really understanding the gravity of it.
IM MOWING THE AIR RANDY!!!!! LOOK!!!!
Best comment hahahahaha
Hahaha
All their stuff is fantastic. But Goddammit is their best album imo.
Thank you Connor. I love you.
i love that drum roll at the end lol
First band I saw live way back in like 2003, at least I’m still alive.
Amazing song and awesome video! They don’t make em like they used to!
i wish they had more videos like this :(
Love the vocals. Matt is so gorgeous when he is smiling and laughing! Fuck me!
alkaline trio=awesome
ya they're, 2nd fav band
Such a good bass line. You can tell some of these guys have played in ska bands with they’re complex playing
They had a great run, will always love this band even if it's more of a side project these days.
"At least we're still friends; at least we're still alive."
Awesome.
It is only recently occurred to me that this truly video has a large emphasis on face washing! Love the trio new album is great!
2024 still coming to this Masterpiece
Alkaline Trio: #4 Favorite band of all-time.
best band ever, and forever. no arguements just fact.
The fucking basswork on the verse dude
This was one of the first videos I played on RUclips.. 14 yrs ago
At least were still friends, at least we're still alive.
Godspeed brother.
best band ever

LOVE ❤ Alkaline trio
I come back to this video like once a month. Love trio but this song is just gold
I should do that
"REMEMBER LAST APRIL WHEN I SAW YOU AT STAPLES ? AND HOW THAT SONG SAID EXACTLY HOW I FEEL ABD WE SAY GOODBYE ..".. even though those couldn't even be close to the lyrics.. I will forever have that verse incorrectly pressed into my mind and memories thanks my bro A.Aron lol
"Somehow the singer show the desire to cite exactly how I feel"
my fav a3 song
Easily the best Alkaline video! Looks like good times
I love these videos. Reminds me of my teenage years. Not particularly wholesome, just...as it was :)
lmfao this video is hilarious. the bass and guitar player r like just standing there and the drummer is running in circles around them mowing the lawn haha thats so funny
The OG.
This makes me happy ^__^
And they fucking played it!!!!! First show of the new tour 😮

Matt I wish you would have got saved so we could hear your music in heaven. What a tragedy

Goodbye forever, Random Hero.....
Ooof what I'd give to go to pretty much any show at Fireside Bowl one more time... I actually met Skiba there once. He was by himself in the back trying not to be noticed. I think it was a Lawrence Arms show.
i fucking couldn't agree more man...i miss this alkaline sooo much! it's written with more conviction too! damn record labels...'it's getting clearer...the...end is closer'

Vou legendar essa música, like
I thought that was Mark Hoppus in the thumbnail.
smoking IS friggin cool man YEAH!!!!!!!
Good ole McHenry Co., IL
Love u doods.
when a band "sells out" it usually means they start going on huge arena tours, and have about ten thousand screaming fourteen year old girls going to every concert. the trio has chosen not to do this.
they definately have every bit of potential to play these huge arenas and have tens of millions of fans. but what do they do? they choose to keep the music underground.
there not in the game for the money.
there not in it for the fame and glory.
...
I love Matt!!! And Dan!! They have aged very well in my opinion. =]
