I’m now 38 years old with 3 kids. This song was played June 8, 2000 when I graduated from 8th grade @ vanguard learning center in Compton, California. RIP to all the fallen ones along the way and bless the ones still here with us!
That's crazy I'm 38 years too with 3 kids, and they played this song in our 8th grade promotion too at McFadden Middle school. We'll now it's called McFadden Institute of Technology in Santa Ana, CA. They didn't play this song in the High School Graduation though.
Class of 75. It's been 50 years, and I remember her like it was yesterday. That beautiful smile and those beautiful big brown eyes. A long-lost love that has never left my heart. I remember you Margie, I've never forgotten you. (Just a 68-year-old fool reminiscing tonight.)
Oh my this is Margie how are you it's been too long my friend! ❤ Yes 50 years I'm doing well I can't believe how you still remember me. Get back to me I'd love to catch up wow it's been a lifetime.
@GarthWinkleton Geez Margie, I didn't know you still cared after all of these years. I see that you changed your name to Garth. You must have voted Democrat. Well, unfortunately for you, tomorrow you become irrelevant because Trump takes over and Bozo Biden is gone forever. Hey, regardless, it's been good catching up.
Left school in 83. Lost some bloody good friends. Not many of us left now. Make the most of every day. Life can be very cruel. Brilliant song Brilliant memories 😊
Gen X got fucked hard with ODs, suicides, and early deaths. Talk to any Gen X'er in their late 40s/50s and they are like WW2 vets remembering all their boys who aren't with us anymore. You guys are tough bastards. 80s-born Millenial here.
I’m 35 now … Prayers for most of us in these comments .. it seems like the song hits harder when your not where you hoped you’d be ….. we all are still trying to figure it out in some way or another . Prayers to everyone ❤ Class of 2007
Damn you graduated the year I was born!! Time does pass by fast. My high school graduation is scheduled in May 2025.I don't wanna look forward to it but I'm on the right track towards graduation. I really don't belong in this generation but I promise to myself that I will try to make the most of it. I will join the military right after HS so I am leaving some of my friends behind. For sure some of my friends will graduate being top 10 or top 2. I just lost a friend last weekend end, he was class of 2024..
Graduated 25 years ago, Class of 1999 -- the year that this song was released. It was a special time to be leaving my youth behind and entering into an entirely new century. I grew up during the tail end of the analog era and witnessed the birth of the digital era. I wish all of you who weren't born yet could have experienced the world then, but I wish the Class of 2024 and all future graduating classes a wonderful future. To quote Back to the Future Part III, which came out in 1990, "Your future is whatever you make it, so make it a good one." (PS -- The album that the song is on was released in 1999. The song was released as a single in March of 2000. But I was still experiencing pretty heavy "post-graduation" emotions, so my memory of hearing the song for the first time is still very connected to my graduation in 1999. I also had several friends from high school who graduated in 2000, so emotionally, it was almost like graduating twice. This song will always be extremely nostalgic and meaningful for my friends and me.)
Same here. And so well put. Still get flooded with emotions and memories listening to this song 25 years later. Us Xennials are the perfect mix of Analog and Digital. Perfect time to be alive. :-)
Cocoa Beach Jr Sr High class of 2000. On meds anxiety depression high blood pressure and an alcoholic. Miss being normal. Played baseball against Prince Fielder. Graduated from the place where the best Surfer Kelly Slater came from. I dont have any friends from my High School.cuz I hate FB etc. Miss them all❤😭🙏
Fun Fact: Vitamin C became the VP of Music for Nickelodeon in 2012 and now she is a Music Executive for Netflix. So it’s good to see that she achieved some great things even out of the prime spotlight and has had an illustrious and diverse music career. Anyway this is the anthem song for graduations everywhere! Such a great song.
Its crazy that this song is over 20 years old now. It feels surreal. Those of us who heard this song during our graduation when it came out, are now hearing it in our own children's graduation
I graduated in 2002 and they had this song playing. When I hear this song, I get emotional because in the 90's and early 2000's was the best memories ever. We didn't have to worry about anything like right now. I'm 37 and I love this song

I am calling it now. A million years from now when everyone seeing this now has gotten old and died, the song will continue to get played at graduations all over the world. May this song never die!
I graduated in 2000 from 8th grade and this was the song chosen it was simpler times. You could ride your bike with friends and was safe was allowed to run the neighborhood and most time ended up staying at a friend's and was treated like their own. Was fed clothes when needed given stern talks to keep us growing up yet with a positive role model and taught us how to respect and love one another. Solve the issues and move on. God bless everyone out there and congratulations to all the classes who've graduated nd made something of themselves. It hurts sometimes when we're all alone and have nothing but memories but at least nobody can't take that way. Cheers from the wonderful and beautiful U.S.A. may peace be brought to whomever this message reaches
90s really was the peak of western culture and society since WW2. The only decade when the Western world had a sense of optimism that the future can be better than the past while having the benefit of modern technology. Communist block had fallen, no enemies, no cultural war yet concord flights and modern medication and internet connectivity.
Here's to everyone who didn't have friends or a good time in high school 😔 Hopefully our adulthood is where life shines. Life ain't fair but you only get it once, keep hoping for better times 💙

33 now, take your time growing up. Make mistakes, have fun, relax, don't try, and impress everyone you come across. Time will fly so quickly, I wish you all a beautiful and happy life. This song takes me back and makes my ass want to cry, it's crazy.
Wild. U graduated a few months before the world lost its innocence & changed forever. I graduated in 2005 & I still miss friends that I’ll prolly never see again 🙂↕️

Glass of 96 and it still brings me back. If only I knew then what I know now I would of slowed down and hugged more, listened more, loved more. I've lost so many friends over the years.
I dropped out of highschool back in 2018. Told my parents I'm movin out and didn't need any of their help. Fast forward in 2024 im in college about to be a senior next year. Grateful for my parents for giving me a chance. A chance for a new life and I also met a lot of beautiful souls along my journey. And for my homies that left our world too soon, thank you for watching my back.
Makes me cry every single time - this song came out when I was in 5th grade - and it’s the truth. Life goes soooo fast… I’m now 34…. Don’t grow up too fast kids…
Isn't it ironic how we thought we'd never see most of the people we went to highschool with ever again after graduation, but then Facebook came along and now we know too much about all those people 😅
Do you think you should see a phycologist if you're that upset?😮 Tuffen up we're in the real world it's just a song. People genuinely suck ass once the songs over people go right back to talking behind your back and being crummy.....
Class of 2003 here. This song was played at a graduation party and listening to it now takes me back. Enjoy being young while you still are! Don't be in a rush to grow up. They say to stop once a while, smell the flowers and touch some grass. I did so at the time, and I believe I'm the better off for it. Don't take days of youth, relative freedom and low responsibility for granted.
Man this song just made a grown man cry. I need to reach out to some of my old friends from school and see how they are doing... havent seen them in years. God i miss the early 2000s
I remember singing this song for my 5th grade graduation back in 2001 just before 9/11. I miss being innocent and full of hope. To all the young people never give up or become bitter.
>never give up or become bitter. That's a hard bargain man, especially when those young adults go about in search for TRUTH in this f'd up World of ours....
It me about 30 minutes to find this song. I'm so glad I did as a kid I would listen to this song not fully understanding it, now im 30 and now my it chokes me up a little but damn I need to take a minute to just love life.
damn 10 & 15 yrs already (HS class of 2010 & college class of 2015) though we've lost contacts to some of our closest peeps in our student days just keep reminding ourselves the golden message of the music for motivation (we will still be FRIENDS FOREVER)

@@tracyseymour6059 that's why we get care about our health, every day,. Not stay watching Netflix, do something for your neighbor and make exercise,. .... Don't be a mental sick people,. Only watching TV after work, and that it's, crazy fucken life
Agree it got me crying I miss my girlies and friends who gone to soon dang 😢 life goes by fast kids cherish being a child cause once you a adult things get real
I graduated from high school in 2000 the same year this song came out. Everytime I hear this song, I get sentimental. I can't believe graduation has been as long as it's been....To the youth, enjoy your youth because you can never have that time back again.
Graduated waaaay back in 2000. Heard this song and would think about the future and how we would all go our separate ways.... in a blink of an eye life passed me by and here i am.. 2024. i feel like the old people back in my young days saying "things were better back in the day", "they dont make music like they used to", "this new generation is wild"... lol lol im that old person saying that now. And also... time flies. Enjoy your loved ones. ❤😢

This song came out the year I graduated high school. We were the class of 2000, the first of the new millennium. I couldn’t listen to it then and 24 years later I still can’t listen to it without crying. Lost youth.
I heard this on a meme and was thinking why do i know these words.... Then I remembered, and played the video. Instant ugly try. Why were we in such a hurry to grow up
It doesn't matter what year you graduated. Hold on to the memories you had with your friends from youth. No matter how far back you knew them. Those are memories you will cherish forever.
This song tugs at the heart. We all go our separate ways...some go off and serve our country, some pass away too young, some become professional athletes, actors, models, moms, dads, doctors, lawyers, and go off the grid...
I a man from Arizona class of 02 and ur comment ... Well is pretty much all there is after that. It is a special comment to me personally. Only because I have lived all those things u said. Even about death at a young age while serving post 9/111
I just celebrated my 20 year high school reunion this past summer..it's crazy how yesterday we were kids now our kids are about to start school, or finish school. I wish I could go back and do the things that people told me I could never do. That's the only thing I regret is listening to them
I went off the grid. I wasted so much precious time feeling like I had to hide from something. I'll soon be rejoining society once more as soon as I get the opportunity to leave this godforsaken wasteland.
@@vitalityfox dude you wouldn’t be the person you are today without those good and bad experiences . They all play a part of shaping us I learned that high school was filled with 99% wannabes so it taught me the importance of having my own thoughts and views
Class of 2001 here. Joined the military right out of high school. 3 months later we were at war. Iraq and Afghanistan changed me but this reminds me of simpler times.
For me this song reminds me of all the fun times me and my friends had together. I'm not in touch with any of them today. But i will always have the memories from a time when everything was simple.
I miss all my friends so much,, plans, games, talks, music, dreams, arguments, home works, assignments, teachers, those days are never coming back. Hope all of them are doing well. Any undergraduate here, enjoy these days, time flies, you are going to missed so much like we do now.
@@ronduck1459 make as much friendships and keep an effort to stay in touch because everyone will go their separate ways and you will never see them again
My daughter’s primary school graduation was in 2024 and they played this for the last song. I was watching her dance to this and just brought back so many memories for me
Class of 2000...this song came out first for us. Remember the radio cuts with all of the high schoolers calling in to give shout outs. 22 years later, still friends with a handful of the closest ones from high school. As I enter middle age, I offer this advice: life is short and cherish true friends because things can change in an instant.
Kids.. back then we didn't really have social media nor cellphones. We really didn't have any way to keep in touch with friends once we leave for college. Unlike today, people can share what's going on with their everyday lives. Just imagine your friends now in school and that you don't know when you will see them again. Which is why this song is so emotional because high school was truly the special years of everyones lives.
People had cell phones....it was the it thing to have back then, that's when t9 texting was ruining our youth for dumbing down communication....this cycle isnt new...
What do you mean? You had their house phone number. You just left a message with their parents. 😂 We also kept pen pals, so we just exchanged mailing addresses.
@@richsalazme I was talking about when they went off to college. You said that you would not know when you'd see or hear from them again. I was making a joke about how we could still keep in touch, but knowing it wasn't the most expedient method to do so.

2005 here.. yea times flyin by too quick.. in highschool, i neverrrr though i would wanna go back.. i feel you.. hope all is well.. wish everyone the best
I completely agree with you. Time goes by way too fast. At times, I wish I could go back in time to relive those years as a kid. All I have to say for those still in school, appropriate being young while it lasts.
Thinking back on where I was in life when I first discovered this song at 15. Fast track now I’m 27, married to my high school sweetheart, we own our first home together and we’re both focused on our careers as we travel and create new memories together. Never imagined that life would play out this way and I’m immensely grateful to God for always watching over us ❤
It’s been 35 years. Love Pachebel’s Canon in D & this version. My older son is valedictorian and a 7 time state qualifier in 3 different sports. He graduates in a few days from the same school my wife and I did. It’s not been easy, but he made it. God bless the classes of 1944, 1948, 1988, 1991 & 20023!!!!!!
this song makes me think about all the friends i used to have in high school that don't talk to me anymore. I miss them but as you grow up nobody has time for eachother anymore. everyone is just working on their own shit or have moved far away. growing up is so damn lonely.
I am 57 and heard this song only once back in 2001. I have been trying to find it for years and thought "All Saints" sang it. This is a beautifull melodic song and perfect for any graduation. I knew it was a hit the first time I heard it. It really is a timeless piece! Thank you Vitamin C for giving it words and doing it so perfectly!
I'm class of 2011. I still feel the same as I did back then. I still think about my high-school experiences all the time and I really do miss just seeing those people every single day. I didn't even talk to most of them but I can remember every single face. I just miss that atmosphere..
With a time machine, it sure is! But alas, as we know, the reality is that your future is whatever you can make out of the cards you are dealt, and as with all card games, being dealt from the start high down cards is supreme in handling the flop that comes after, where it’s chance, bluffing, bullshitting, and a hell of a lot of luck, all before that final river card is flipped to see how you’re gunna end up. And so many fold before the river.
Class of 99. Last of the millennium. This song always gets me a lil teary-eyed. Great times with great people. RIP to all the ones we've lost too soon. 💔 🏝🌺💙
Class of 2005, I was in middle school when this came out and I remember those hairstyles and fashion as though it was yesterday. I remember listening to this on cassette and thinking how turning 25 felt like an eternity away…now I’m 33 with 4 kids and wish I could go back and experience those carefree days again just for a little bit 🥺

it looks the same as now, she looks same as chicks do now, nothing has much changed since the mid-nineties except 80s high waist jeans coming back but that always looks terrible so it wont last.

We don't call it Prom Night, we call it Class Night and yes we have Class Day and Class Night. So since the water park where we had our Class Day recently reopened, were planning the 1995-2025 30yrs reunion!!! Time sure does fly. So much has happened since!!
Just like that I’m getting ready to walk across the stage tomorrow. And all I did was blink. Thirteen years of school flies by. I still remember the very first day.
@@dylanlowell4704 man i remember in high school looking forward to the day i graduated and could never understand my parents when they said i'll miss it. The day i graduated high school i remember feeling sad like a big part of my life was gone just like that. But then i remember my maths teacher at the time telling us you'll only miss it once you've left it. How true that was
This song made me cry as a child and teen, but even more as an adult of course because it’s reality. My good friend since middle school passed away last year, and my other closest friends from school live 5 to 15 hours away from me. A couple of us had a falling out in college over finances and boys of all things. Another friend is married with three children which still blows my mind. Anyone else I was friends with just quietly faded from my life after graduation. I am very lucky that despite the distance, I still keep in touch and visit with a wonderful childhood best friend. It’s just sad things will never be as they were before like seeing each other every day at school, being Girl Scouts together, having slumber parties, staying up late reading and drawing, calls on the house phone our siblings would eavesdrop on, and the list goes on. I think the hardest thing to accept though is I am not where I thought I’d be in life (or at least I’m not as happy). I’m still trying to be hopeful for the future though.
I feel the same exact sentiment, I wouldn't say I'm unhappy with my life but when we're in our early and late teens we still have soo much hope and wonder for how our lives will turn out. I'm 31 now and see all these people I grew up with raising multiple kids, getting married, working good jobs in cool places. I'm still kind of where I was 15 years ago, just getting older and uglier 😅 I yearn for those middle school days when I hear this song or anything from this time period. Playing M-A-S-H with your friends and deciding which celebrity you were going to marry or if you would be living in a masion, apartment, shack, or a house. Still so much time to fill at that age ❤ I appreciate this post
I read a statistics that 99% of people die with regrets. Now why is that? Because we have a very finite lifespan. So you're not in the exception. Most people have regrets but they won't vocalize that externally.
30-something here remembering when this first came out. Elementary school graduation. Played it over and over in middle and high school. It still never fails to bring me to tears.

Was in middle school when this came out in 99. Alot of classmates have passed away since then, And ones still here we never kept in touch. Crazy how long it's been.

This song definitely gets me in my feelings. Now 10 years removed from high school, a lot of times you just want to rewind back to the good ol’ days and not have any stress and responsibilities, as life does get much tougher as the years go by us. To all those approaching graduation shortly, take the time to enjoy your youth and shenanigans because before you know it you will have reached your 30’s already and be extremely nostalgic about the great memories. Kids just be kids and do not rush life!
Listening to this song brings back SO many memories. I don't think anyone can say they didn't hear this song at the end of a school year on the radio, listening to family and friends give a shout-out to the next graduating class.

Um I turn THIRTY FIVE this year and wasn’t even in high school yet when this song came out. Trust me when I say that time flies so much fcking faster than you even think it does now 😔
After 21 time begins to speed up. It's really freaky. 30 will get here faster than you think. I'm 48 and no joke the last 8 years has absolutely flew by.
Class of 2000 here I'm feeling old when I hear this but know that time goes fast as you get older and ppl remember to enjoy life to the extreme because you never know when you've last day may be !! ❤
Class of 2000... I didn't have such a great senior year. I wasn't close to anyone at school and felt invisible, like a ghost when I was there. Looking back I may not have been as invisible as I felt. This song brings back the sadness and loneliness from back then and hasn't changed things much. I've only reconnected with 3 classmates from my class in the 20+ years since then.
I'm currently a senior, and I feel just like you felt. My senior year has not really been that great, as there have been a lot of obstacles. I know what you mean when you talk about feeling invisible and not really being close to anyone. Currently, I don't think I will reconnect with that many classmates in the future.
@@ash.gem_04 You’d be surprised who actually noticed that you existed. I was contacted by 3 students from my graduation class when I had expected none. They weren’t the most popular kids in school but still that they remembered me at all was what made me realize that I wasn’t as invisible as I felt during the time that I was there.

I was so scared that me and my friends wouldn't see each other anymore once we graduated, however we still do and it's been eight years since most of us graduated, still talk on the phone and hang out, also follow each other on social media, I'm so grateful to God because I know not everyone gets that opportunity.
Online there is no clear release date. some places say Dec 99, some say March 2000, some say Jan 2000. Its weird to me that the release date of an album isnt definitive.
I graduated in 2004. This song brings so many emotions, good bad and indifferent. So many great memories, it’s sad to think of all the friends we have lost to young or just simply fell out of touch with. Enjoy every min of it kids, it’s goes by way to fast
This song takes me back to my college campus and brings me back the all my friends, the bus, the professors, roads the views and everything. How time flies... it's a reminder that we must be good to everyone around us. You could be the memory of someone. God bless you
@therandomyoutuberr6303 39 here. Think of the life you've built, and everything you did to get where you are. Saying goodbye to your youth is bittersweet. Doors close and potential fades along with that glowing complexion we used to see in the mirror. Still, I wouldn't trade the memories along the way, the successes, the failures, my wife, my kid, the journey so far, for anything. We are all just at different points on the same path of life. Keep living to the fullest. With a little luck, you're not even halfway yet. And congrats to the class of 2024, may your journeys be full of many pleasant twists and turns!
For all the young people listening to this, who had a rough time in high school. If you see this, life can be so much better. I didn't have a good high school experience, but I love my life now. My advice is to live in the moment and try your best. Don't be afraid to love, but also don't be afraid to fail. Be kind because the world will be a better place for it.
Every time I hear this song I can close my eyes and think about High School and how I lost touch with friends. I think about also that girl I should have spoken to and now she lost forever. Now, as I graduate College I think about it even more. I hope that we all get to keep in touch with friends because time goes by so fast. Don't lose touch with good friends and those who needed a friend. Congratulations Class of 2021.
@@tali5959 Sorry, can't help but to reminisce of those times. A certain sadness fills my heart because those were the fun times when things were so simpler and now its all different. Life goes on.
This song was played at every graduation in the early 2000 . It's a beautiful song didn't understand most of it now it make sense , thought I would have my best friend forever now I couldn't even tell u where she is . Time Flys fast cherish every moment of school cuz friends come and go but the memories stay ! Kids make the most of it cuz i would love to go back to those days

Nearly 21yrs after Graduation... this song brings good yet sad memories from school... how much the friends we had back then, really don't matter as you go on with your lives. I mean I am grateful and happy for the friends I made that shaped me to who I am today. It's just friends are NOT always forever. I do still hope the friends I had 30, 20yrs ago are doing well...

School bus driver, was thinking about playing this for the last day of my 2023 seniors. Unexpectedly brought memories of my high school years at the part “where we gonna be when we turn 25”. Turned 25 I’m like wow,time flies, class of 2015.
I'm 40 and just heard this song on Sirius earlier today while driving with my wife. I remember listening to this song back when it first came out in '99. Brought back so many fond memories and emotions. It was quite difficult trying to stay composed and focused on the road while seeing my wife glimpsing at me in the corner of my eye. So many emotions flooded me.
You know, from time to time I listen to this song. I get very emotional as I get caught up in those thoughts of not only middle school (grad 2000) and high school (2005), but the people that were around me. I look at these as phases in life. The guys I hung out with in grade 7, 8…having a blast and talking about our futures and where we want to be and who will be at each other’s wedding etc…some of those friends go along with you to the same high school as others go to their respective high school’s. After graduating, going to college, then university…I look back and reflect. What happened to those people..where are they in life? What struggles did they go through? What other friends did they meet, or lose?…how did they pass away? I am 34 now, and I miss those years! They were some of my most memorable moment’s. As time goes on, my friend circle starts to shrink…so many thoughts in my mind..I needed to let this out. To those that have been with me throughout my schooling , I wish nothing but the best for you and I hope you all are doing well. To the friends I have lost due to whatever reason, please forgive, as I have forgiven you… for those that have passed away …may you always rest in paradise. Tears are coming down my cheeks as I write these thoughts…life is beautiful! Stay safe!

Congratulations to the graduating Class of 2024! 🎓🎉
Memories from senior year 2008 in high school 😭😭😭 thanks for this
Tomorrow is graduation commencement. I'm gonna make so many sorority girls cry with this!
I'm so happy!
You don’t care
Thanks for the playlist hair metal, cheeers!
Good luck 🍀
We had the best of times back then... Cheers to those who graduated in 2001. RIP to those who aren't with us anymore
The late 1990s and early 2000s were truly a great time.
True the 90's were fun but I think the 80's were a little better.
No social media so yes!
@@fordsrule35 Absolutely. - Bill Cosby
That's true 👍 💯
We are the last generation to talk to each other face to face.
I’m now 38 years old with 3 kids. This song was played June 8, 2000 when I graduated from 8th grade @ vanguard learning center in Compton, California. RIP to all the fallen ones along the way and bless the ones still here with us!
U graduated 8th grade in 2000 and ur 38 now? Damn I’m old. I was 21 in 2000. Graduate HS in 97 I’m 45 now.
That's crazy I'm 38 years too with 3 kids, and they played this song in our 8th grade promotion too at McFadden Middle school. We'll now it's called McFadden Institute of Technology in Santa Ana, CA. They didn't play this song in the High School Graduation though.
Growing old was the last thing on our minds. Class of 2003. RHS Bulldogs
3 mids wow ..i cant if have one ..am 38 too
Same! Only it was Riverside, CA.
Class of 75. It's been 50 years, and I remember her like it was yesterday. That beautiful smile and those beautiful big brown eyes. A long-lost love that has never left my heart. I remember you Margie, I've never forgotten you. (Just a 68-year-old fool reminiscing tonight.)
stop lying your not 75 class
@RealZunnan I was born in Aug. 1956. I'm 68 years old. Why would I lie?
Oh my this is Margie how are you it's been too long my friend! ❤ Yes 50 years I'm doing well I can't believe how you still remember me. Get back to me I'd love to catch up wow it's been a lifetime.
@GarthWinkleton Geez Margie, I didn't know you still cared after all of these years. I see that you changed your name to Garth. You must have voted Democrat. Well, unfortunately for you, tomorrow you become irrelevant because Trump takes over and Bozo Biden is gone forever. Hey, regardless, it's been good catching up.
@GarthWinkleton Margie, how you've changed so much, like your name to Garth. Hope that's all you changed.
Left school in 83.
Lost some bloody good friends.
Not many of us left now.
Make the most of every day.
Life can be very cruel.

Damn you graduated the year I was born!! Time does pass by fast. My high school graduation is scheduled in May 2025.I don't wanna look forward to it but I'm on the right track towards graduation. I really don't belong in this generation but I promise to myself that I will try to make the most of it. I will join the military right after HS so I am leaving some of my friends behind. For sure some of my friends will graduate being top 10 or top 2. I just lost a friend last weekend end, he was class of 2024..
Man this post hit home class of 2007 here as well
Damn unc
Class of 2007! Let’s go!! This was OUR SONG in 4th and 12th grade!
Class of 2007 as well.
Graduated 25 years ago, Class of 1999 -- the year that this song was released. It was a special time to be leaving my youth behind and entering into an entirely new century. I grew up during the tail end of the analog era and witnessed the birth of the digital era. I wish all of you who weren't born yet could have experienced the world then, but I wish the Class of 2024 and all future graduating classes a wonderful future. To quote Back to the Future Part III, which came out in 1990, "Your future is whatever you make it, so make it a good one."
(PS -- The album that the song is on was released in 1999. The song was released as a single in March of 2000. But I was still experiencing pretty heavy "post-graduation" emotions, so my memory of hearing the song for the first time is still very connected to my graduation in 1999. I also had several friends from high school who graduated in 2000, so emotionally, it was almost like graduating twice. This song will always be extremely nostalgic and meaningful for my friends and me.)
Same here. And so well put. Still get flooded with emotions and memories listening to this song 25 years later. Us Xennials are the perfect mix of Analog and Digital. Perfect time to be alive. :-)
I fellow brother from the analog era that graduated the same year, good luck in the next era!
Greatest era in the history of humanity, yet to be topped.
Περασες τελεια χρονια μιας τελειας εποχης μπραβο
Cocoa Beach Jr Sr High class of 2000. On meds anxiety depression high blood pressure and an alcoholic. Miss being normal. Played baseball against Prince Fielder. Graduated from the place where the best Surfer Kelly Slater came from. I dont have any friends from my High School.cuz I hate FB etc. Miss them all❤😭🙏
High School in the 90s was pretty awesome looking back.
Fun Fact: Vitamin C became the VP of Music for Nickelodeon in 2012 and now she is a Music Executive for Netflix. So it’s good to see that she achieved some great things even out of the prime spotlight and has had an illustrious and diverse music career.
Anyway this is the anthem song for graduations everywhere! Such a great song.
So cool to hear! Thanks for the update 😁❤️
That's truly awesome, thanks for posting your comment!
I was blessed to have great friends in high school sad that I lost 6 -10 friends to murder, suicide, drugs, drunk drivers accident
@@robertwilliams1592 🫂 I'm so sorry for your loss
Nice, didn't know that..... awesome
Its crazy that this song is over 20 years old now. It feels surreal. Those of us who heard this song during our graduation when it came out, are now hearing it in our own children's graduation
Timeless vibe ~
I completely feel that. Class of 2005 and now my son is graduating class of 2023
Yep! Class of 2001 and it was played for my daughter's middle school graduation last night... made me cry.
Yup same here, class of 2000 this song came out the same year if not mistaken
I'm right there with you! When were young we can't wait to grow up and now I wish I would have enjoyed it!!
I can’t even make it through a minute without bawling. These things get more bittersweet the older you get. 😢

Best graduation song ever in history period
And is dat
💯💯
The juice wrld version goes hard
😊
but what other graduation songs are there tho?? as far as i know, this is the only one i think lol
I graduated in 2002 and they had this song playing. When I hear this song, I get emotional because in the 90's and early 2000's was the best memories ever. We didn't have to worry about anything like right now. I'm 37 and I love this song
That is so true. I am one of those kids that have an old soul and I just wish the world today was better.
Do not pray to have an easy life but pray to be stronger men. Stay strong guys. Everyone has their own challenges that we will eventually get over

I am calling it now. A million years from now when everyone seeing this now has gotten old and died, the song will continue to get played at graduations all over the world. May this song never die!
It will man
In b4 we're all old or dead
I graduated in 2000 from 8th grade and this was the song chosen it was simpler times. You could ride your bike with friends and was safe was allowed to run the neighborhood and most time ended up staying at a friend's and was treated like their own. Was fed clothes when needed given stern talks to keep us growing up yet with a positive role model and taught us how to respect and love one another. Solve the issues and move on. God bless everyone out there and congratulations to all the classes who've graduated nd made something of themselves. It hurts sometimes when we're all alone and have nothing but memories but at least nobody can't take that way. Cheers from the wonderful and beautiful U.S.A. may peace be brought to whomever this message reaches
The older i get, the more i miss 90's culture. Things will probably never be as good.
Damn right!
Yep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
90s really was the peak of western culture and society since WW2. The only decade when the Western world had a sense of optimism that the future can be better than the past while having the benefit of modern technology. Communist block had fallen, no enemies, no cultural war yet concord flights and modern medication and internet connectivity.
1990 baby here in 2023

In my 40s. Song still gets me. Life goes so damn fast
yeah what the hell happened?
Yeah I agree with you
agreed!
Yes true im 39 now damn we are old 😅
Yes it does
Class of 1999 here and this is the original graduation song. What a throwback!!! ♥
Glass of 96 and it still brings me back. If only I knew then what I know now I would of slowed down and hugged more, listened more, loved more. I've lost so many friends over the years.
Me too
Just as terrible 22 years later.
I'm c/o 1999 as well and this wasn't our song wear sunscreen was this was 2000s song. Congratulations to Class of 2021!
Class of 99 here as well. Feels like yesterday. Missing the late 90s/early 2000s like crazy 🥲
I dropped out of highschool back in 2018. Told my parents I'm movin out and didn't need any of their help.
Fast forward in 2024 im in college about to be a senior next year. Grateful for my parents for giving me a chance. A chance for a new life and I also met a lot of beautiful souls along my journey.
And for my homies that left our world too soon, thank you for watching my back.
how do you drop out of high school in 2018 and still go to college in 2024?
@@RealZunnan i dropped then went back to school after a hiatus and then shifted courses😂😂
R.I.P. to all the people who died that I grew up with in the 90s
i lost many of them during the C pandemic... good friends
@@coffeesweet1 me too... sad stuff indeed.
It’s not a good idea to go racing motorcycles or cars.
Amen 😭🤧😔🙏

Makes me cry every single time - this song came out when I was in 5th grade - and it’s the truth. Life goes soooo fast… I’m now 34…. Don’t grow up too fast kids…
I'm 42 divorced with 2 teenagers, and I feel this was only a few years ago. I'm happy now that I found this gem again. ❤
Isn't it ironic how we thought we'd never see most of the people we went to highschool with ever again after graduation, but then Facebook came along and now we know too much about all those people 😅
@@bunnypeopleso true
Do you think you should see a phycologist if you're that upset?😮 Tuffen up we're in the real world it's just a song. People genuinely suck ass once the songs over people go right back to talking behind your back and being crummy.....
Im 35 and this song will always dig deep into the nostalgia ❤️
Same here same age
I'm 35. My high school year book title was called nostalgia.
YS = 44
Same age, class of ‘06
I'm 69 and it's low key a hella dope song.
Class of 2003 here. This song was played at a graduation party and listening to it now takes me back.
Enjoy being young while you still are! Don't be in a rush to grow up.
They say to stop once a while, smell the flowers and touch some grass. I did so at the time, and I believe I'm the better off for it.
Don't take days of youth, relative freedom and low responsibility for granted.
Man this song just made a grown man cry. I need to reach out to some of my old friends from school and see how they are doing... havent seen them in years. God i miss the early 2000s
Did you ?
The days go by slow and the years go by fast. Ill never understand it looking back it will make you sad it does me.
Same here man😔
Lots of hugs friend, I feel the same way
Kicks you in the "feels", doesn't it?
I remember singing this song for my 5th grade graduation back in 2001 just before 9/11. I miss being innocent and full of hope. To all the young people never give up or become bitter.
😅❤❤❤❤❤This song makes me thinking about studying and graduating again and again
>never give up or become bitter.
That's a hard bargain man, especially when those young adults go about in search for TRUTH in this f'd up World of ours....
For some reason this song still makes me emotional af. 😅
Goosebumps every single time
The melody, tunes and nostalgia. Funny tho...only people I gave two fucks about were people I met after graduating in 2005. Wartime baby!!!
Same I listened while I was a kid I didn't really understand it now it hurts
It me about 30 minutes to find this song. I'm so glad I did as a kid I would listen to this song not fully understanding it, now im 30 and now my it chokes me up a little but damn I need to take a minute to just love life.
amen
damn 10 & 15 yrs already (HS class of 2010 & college class of 2015) though we've lost contacts to some of our closest peeps in our student days just keep reminding ourselves the golden message of the music for motivation (we will still be FRIENDS FOREVER)

Agree it got me crying I miss my girlies and friends who gone to soon dang 😢 life goes by fast kids cherish being a child cause once you a adult things get real
I graduated from high school in 2000 the same year this song came out. Everytime I hear this song, I get sentimental. I can't believe graduation has been as long as it's been....To the youth, enjoy your youth because you can never have that time back again.

Graduated waaaay back in 2000. Heard this song and would think about the future and how we would all go our separate ways.... in a blink of an eye life passed me by and here i am.. 2024. i feel like the old people back in my young days saying "things were better back in the day", "they dont make music like they used to", "this new generation is wild"... lol lol im that old person saying that now. And also... time flies. Enjoy your loved ones. ❤😢
Way back?
Lol
Try 1970 dude...
@stevehiatt848 1970?! Okay, you win!! Lol was the 70s as good as they make it sound, or is it just like any other era... bet your geandparents used to say there was nothing like their era lol

Time flies. Enjoy your youth people. I am 62, 1980 is my graduation year. Nice song. No drugs and alcohol, the years will be a little slower for ya.
1980 graduate too. Agree with you.
Same here but my graduation song was to dream the impossible dream where does time go i will be 62 in a couple months time
Damn good memories... all those tears knowing we were going separate ways congrats all classes of 2021
Ty
Thanks man
thank you God bless your heart I pray that he provides you with life, good health and strength 🥰🥰
Thanks 👍😊
If you are lucky one friend will last. Sorry but true.
This song came out the year I graduated high school. We were the class of 2000, the first of the new millennium.
I couldn’t listen to it then and 24 years later I still can’t listen to it without crying.
Lost youth.
I graduated 01
Hello from Jordan 😊 class 2000 😊 me too 😊 my son graduated this year 🥰
I heard this on a meme and was thinking why do i know these words.... Then I remembered, and played the video. Instant ugly try. Why were we in such a hurry to grow up
Song hit hard in 01 when I graduated...actually brings a tear to my eye listening now...
me 02 and i cry every time i see this song
You graduated in 2001 I graduated in 2011 so you’re exactly 10 years older than I am
I cry too when I hear this song, because the song is horrible and I am tortured
same year
Song hits hard in scary movie 2
It doesn't matter what year you graduated. Hold on to the memories you had with your friends from youth. No matter how far back you knew them. Those are memories you will cherish forever.
This song tugs at the heart. We all go our separate ways...some go off and serve our country, some pass away too young, some become professional athletes, actors, models, moms, dads, doctors, lawyers, and go off the grid...
@Avril Lavigne me too the music was better in the 2000's
I a man from Arizona class of 02 and ur comment ... Well is pretty much all there is after that. It is a special comment to me personally. Only because I have lived all those things u said. Even about death at a young age while serving post 9/111
I just celebrated my 20 year high school reunion this past summer..it's crazy how yesterday we were kids now our kids are about to start school, or finish school. I wish I could go back and do the things that people told me I could never do. That's the only thing I regret is listening to them
I went off the grid. I wasted so much precious time feeling like I had to hide from something. I'll soon be rejoining society once more as soon as I get the opportunity to leave this godforsaken wasteland.
@@vitalityfox dude you wouldn’t be the person you are today without those good and bad experiences .
They all play a part of shaping us
I learned that high school was filled with 99% wannabes so it taught me the importance of having my own thoughts and views
Class of 2001 here. Joined the military right out of high school. 3 months later we were at war. Iraq and Afghanistan changed me but this reminds me of simpler times.
Thank you for your service
Thank you. We do appreciate you so much.
Thank you for your service.
Thank you for your service
For me this song reminds me of all the fun times me and my friends had together. I'm not in touch with any of them today. But i will always have the memories from a time when everything was simple.
Did you fall out or simply fall out of touch??
I feel you bro
I miss all my friends so much,, plans, games, talks, music, dreams, arguments, home works, assignments, teachers, those days are never coming back. Hope all of them are doing well. Any undergraduate here, enjoy these days, time flies, you are going to missed so much like we do now.
Exact same feelings when I graduated around 20 years ago. It's so melancholy but nice to know other generations have experienced this same feeling
couldnt have said it better myself - i really wish i can go back in time and enjoy school again it was the best time
At least you had those.
I never did.
Mannn . The truth hurts, Last day of high school is in a week for me
@@ronduck1459 make as much friendships and keep an effort to stay in touch because everyone will go their separate ways and you will never see them again
Playing this for my Senior son.. congratulations
My daughter’s primary school graduation was in 2024 and they played this for the last song. I was watching her dance to this and just brought back so many memories for me
Class of 2000...this song came out first for us. Remember the radio cuts with all of the high schoolers calling in to give shout outs. 22 years later, still friends with a handful of the closest ones from high school. As I enter middle age, I offer this advice: life is short and cherish true friends because things can change in an instant.
21 years for my class of 2001 lol
Class Y2K here!
Class of 2000🙌🏽🎉
I'm also Class of 2000 checking in here. Yeah, this song seemed tailor-made for our class. The first class at the turn of the century.
graduates batch 2000 here❤😊
Kids.. back then we didn't really have social media nor cellphones. We really didn't have any way to keep in touch with friends once we leave for college. Unlike today, people can share what's going on with their everyday lives. Just imagine your friends now in school and that you don't know when you will see them again. Which is why this song is so emotional because high school was truly the special years of everyones lives.
I mean I had a cellphone...I got in trouble for bringing it to school and they threatened to take it away till the summer
People had cell phones....it was the it thing to have back then, that's when t9 texting was ruining our youth for dumbing down communication....this cycle isnt new...
What do you mean? You had their house phone number. You just left a message with their parents. 😂 We also kept pen pals, so we just exchanged mailing addresses.
@@DodonaWind Are those things you said as efficient and fast as today? You literally can see what someone is doing on the same day.
@@richsalazme I was talking about when they went off to college. You said that you would not know when you'd see or hear from them again. I was making a joke about how we could still keep in touch, but knowing it wasn't the most expedient method to do so.

2005 here.. yea times flyin by too quick.. in highschool, i neverrrr though i would wanna go back.. i feel you.. hope all is well.. wish everyone the best
I completely agree with you. Time goes by way too fast. At times, I wish I could go back in time to relive those years as a kid. All I have to say for those still in school, appropriate being young while it lasts.
Thinking back on where I was in life when I first discovered this song at 15. Fast track now I’m 27, married to my high school sweetheart, we own our first home together and we’re both focused on our careers as we travel and create new memories together. Never imagined that life would play out this way and I’m immensely grateful to God for always watching over us ❤
It’s been 35 years. Love Pachebel’s Canon in D & this version. My older son is valedictorian and a 7 time state qualifier in 3 different sports. He graduates in a few days from the same school my wife and I did. It’s not been easy, but he made it. God bless the classes of 1944, 1948, 1988, 1991 & 20023!!!!!!
God bless you ❤
this song makes me think about all the friends i used to have in high school that don't talk to me anymore. I miss them but as you grow up nobody has time for eachother anymore. everyone is just working on their own shit or have moved far away. growing up is so damn lonely.
💔
It’s so true
Word.....
Yep.
god damn right bruh
I am 57 and heard this song only once back in 2001. I have been trying to find it for years and thought "All Saints" sang it. This is a beautifull melodic song and perfect for any graduation. I knew it was a hit the first time I heard it. It really is a timeless piece! Thank you Vitamin C for giving it words and doing it so perfectly!
I'm class of 2011. I still feel the same as I did back then. I still think about my high-school experiences all the time and I really do miss just seeing those people every single day. I didn't even talk to most of them but I can remember every single face. I just miss that atmosphere..
"Your future is whatever you make it. So make it a good one!"
-Emmett "Doc" Brown
With a time machine, it sure is!
But alas, as we know, the reality is that your future is whatever you can make out of the cards you are dealt, and as with all card games, being dealt from the start high down cards is supreme in handling the flop that comes after, where it’s chance, bluffing, bullshitting, and a hell of a lot of luck, all before that final river card is flipped to see how you’re gunna end up. And so many fold before the river.
Thank you Doc
I graduated in 2006 and this still hits hard. I miss my younger years so much. So many things I would have done differently.
I did too, funny how all of us in the comments are in our 30s full of regret...

It doesn't get any better
It's crazy, your parents say "don't rush, enjoy it" you say " I'm over it". We all miss it. Only if we listened to the wiser.
@@dylanlowell4704 man i remember in high school looking forward to the day i graduated and could never understand my parents when they said i'll miss it. The day i graduated high school i remember feeling sad like a big part of my life was gone just like that. But then i remember my maths teacher at the time telling us you'll only miss it once you've left it. How true that was
This song made me cry as a child and teen, but even more as an adult of course because it’s reality. My good friend since middle school passed away last year, and my other closest friends from school live 5 to 15 hours away from me. A couple of us had a falling out in college over finances and boys of all things. Another friend is married with three children which still blows my mind. Anyone else I was friends with just quietly faded from my life after graduation. I am very lucky that despite the distance, I still keep in touch and visit with a wonderful childhood best friend. It’s just sad things will never be as they were before like seeing each other every day at school, being Girl Scouts together, having slumber parties, staying up late reading and drawing, calls on the house phone our siblings would eavesdrop on, and the list goes on. I think the hardest thing to accept though is I am not where I thought I’d be in life (or at least I’m not as happy). I’m still trying to be hopeful for the future though.
You lit a light in my heart when I read the word "HOPE" in ur comment!!!....... Bless u
@@kirekacentral7336 You have such a kind heart! Thank you. 💖💖💖
I feel the same exact sentiment, I wouldn't say I'm unhappy with my life but when we're in our early and late teens we still have soo much hope and wonder for how our lives will turn out. I'm 31 now and see all these people I grew up with raising multiple kids, getting married, working good jobs in cool places. I'm still kind of where I was 15 years ago, just getting older and uglier 😅 I yearn for those middle school days when I hear this song or anything from this time period. Playing M-A-S-H with your friends and deciding which celebrity you were going to marry or if you would be living in a masion, apartment, shack, or a house. Still so much time to fill at that age ❤ I appreciate this post
Lies again? Gain RP
I read a statistics that 99% of people die with regrets. Now why is that? Because we have a very finite lifespan. So you're not in the exception. Most people have regrets but they won't vocalize that externally.
Pachelbel's canon hits hard

This song definitely gets me in my feelings. Now 10 years removed from high school, a lot of times you just want to rewind back to the good ol’ days and not have any stress and responsibilities, as life does get much tougher as the years go by us. To all those approaching graduation shortly, take the time to enjoy your youth and shenanigans because before you know it you will have reached your 30’s already and be extremely nostalgic about the great memories. Kids just be kids and do not rush life!
Listening to this song brings back SO many memories. I don't think anyone can say they didn't hear this song at the end of a school year on the radio, listening to family and friends give a shout-out to the next graduating class.
90s-20s songs are truly amazing ❤️❤️❤️

1 Corinthians 15:1-4
King James Version
15 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Ephesians 1:13
King James Version
13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
God Bless:)
I used to think 25 was so far away whenever I listened to this song... it's next year! Where'd all the time go?!
Yep I thought the same I’ll be 33 in July class of 07
Um I turn THIRTY FIVE this year and wasn’t even in high school yet when this song came out. Trust me when I say that time flies so much fcking faster than you even think it does now 😔
After 21 time begins to speed up. It's really freaky. 30 will get here faster than you think. I'm 48 and no joke the last 8 years has absolutely flew by.
I'm 27 and have been thinking about where the hell ten years has gone.
I just turned 30 and 25 felt like yesterday. It’s shocking.
This is perhaps the greatest and saddest nostalgic song. I hope all of you never lose who you were then
Class of 2000 here I'm feeling old when I hear this but know that time goes fast as you get older and ppl remember to enjoy life to the extreme because you never know when you've last day may be !! ❤
Class of 2000...
I didn't have such a great senior year.
I wasn't close to anyone at school and felt invisible, like a ghost when I was there. Looking back I may not have been as invisible as I felt.
This song brings back the sadness and loneliness from back then and hasn't changed things much.
I've only reconnected with 3 classmates from my class in the 20+ years since then.
Class of 2000 right here as well! I wasnt too popular either so I hear ya.
Try to see things differently....its just one life...try become visible!!
I'm currently a senior, and I feel just like you felt. My senior year has not really been that great, as there have been a lot of obstacles. I know what you mean when you talk about feeling invisible and not really being close to anyone. Currently, I don't think I will reconnect with that many classmates in the future.
@@ash.gem_04 You’d be surprised who actually noticed that you existed.
I was contacted by 3 students from my graduation class when I had expected none. They weren’t the most popular kids in school but still that they remembered me at all was what made me realize that I wasn’t as invisible as I felt during the time that I was there.

on my graduation day back then, in 2000, I sang this song for my classmates and we cried together. I still remember that. This song is really touching
I was so scared that me and my friends wouldn't see each other anymore once we graduated, however we still do and it's been eight years since most of us graduated, still talk on the phone and hang out, also follow each other on social media, I'm so grateful to God because I know not everyone gets that opportunity.
This song came out in March 2000 and I graduated in June 2000. This song always brings me back and reminds me of the people gone too soon.
I was June 2001 ..played this last day senior year
That's so weird that you's graduate half way through the year lol... I never really understood that.
Class of 2000 here as well. My son just graduated with the Class of 2023 - this song brings a tear to my eye!
Online there is no clear release date. some places say Dec 99, some say March 2000, some say Jan 2000. Its weird to me that the release date of an album isnt definitive.
Same here!
I graduated in 2004. This song brings so many emotions, good bad and indifferent. So many great memories, it’s sad to think of all the friends we have lost to young or just simply fell out of touch with. Enjoy every min of it kids, it’s goes by way to fast
'04 here too
This song takes me back to my college campus and brings me back the all my friends, the bus, the professors, roads the views and everything. How time flies... it's a reminder that we must be good to everyone around us. You could be the memory of someone. God bless you
Totally hits different when you’re 40 and have moved on from your hometown
Nostalgia.
Yep!
Same. I’m 35 and it sucks
Sometimes your hometown lures you back... not always because you want to, but because you have to.
@therandomyoutuberr6303 39 here. Think of the life you've built, and everything you did to get where you are. Saying goodbye to your youth is bittersweet. Doors close and potential fades along with that glowing complexion we used to see in the mirror. Still, I wouldn't trade the memories along the way, the successes, the failures, my wife, my kid, the journey so far, for anything. We are all just at different points on the same path of life. Keep living to the fullest. With a little luck, you're not even halfway yet. And congrats to the class of 2024, may your journeys be full of many pleasant twists and turns!
For all the young people listening to this, who had a rough time in high school. If you see this, life can be so much better. I didn't have a good high school experience, but I love my life now. My advice is to live in the moment and try your best. Don't be afraid to love, but also don't be afraid to fail. Be kind because the world will be a better place for it.
Every time I hear this song I can close my eyes and think about High School and how I lost touch with friends. I think about also that girl I should have spoken to and now she lost forever. Now, as I graduate College I think about it even more. I hope that we all get to keep in touch with friends because time goes by so fast. Don't lose touch with good friends and those who needed a friend. Congratulations Class of 2021.
👍👍
Let’s go Mets
as if the song without your comment wasn't sad enough! i bet i was the girl you did not talk to my heart is breaking 💔
@@tali5959 Sorry, can't help but to reminisce of those times. A certain sadness fills my heart because those were the fun times when things were so simpler and now its all different. Life goes on.
I’ve definitely been there brother. I know exactly how you feel. 🤜🤛
This song was played at every graduation in the early 2000 . It's a beautiful song didn't understand most of it now it make sense , thought I would have my best friend forever now I couldn't even tell u where she is . Time Flys fast cherish every moment of school cuz friends come and go but the memories stay ! Kids make the most of it cuz i would love to go back to those days
This is a sad but amazing song. It’s always been a favorite of mine for the last 20+ years.
This song hits harder when you reached your 30s makes you value a little more🧡🥲

Nearly 21yrs after Graduation... this song brings good yet sad memories from school... how much the friends we had back then, really don't matter as you go on with your lives. I mean I am grateful and happy for the friends I made that shaped me to who I am today. It's just friends are NOT always forever. I do still hope the friends I had 30, 20yrs ago are doing well...

School bus driver, was thinking about playing this for the last day of my 2023 seniors. Unexpectedly brought memories of my high school years at the part “where we gonna be when we turn 25”. Turned 25 I’m like wow,time flies, class of 2015.
I AIN'T EVER GONNA STOP LISTENING TO GRADUATION BY VITAMIN C!
William!!!
This song still hits me to the core. Gets me all in my feels. I just love it. This was a really good time to be alive.
Who's still listening to this beautiful timeless classic🎉
Me
I'm 40 and just heard this song on Sirius earlier today while driving with my wife. I remember listening to this song back when it first came out in '99. Brought back so many fond memories and emotions. It was quite difficult trying to stay composed and focused on the road while seeing my wife glimpsing at me in the corner of my eye. So many emotions flooded me.
This is one of my favorite songs made by Vitamin C.😊
As a teacher, this song really bring me back when I was high schooler and graduated in the university. I felt both of sides, as teacher and students.
Congrats on the graduation Class of 2023! We did it.
I will miss all of my teachers and classmates.
Good luck on the Class of 2024
You know, from time to time I listen to this song. I get very emotional as I get caught up in those thoughts of not only middle school (grad 2000) and high school (2005), but the people that were around me. I look at these as phases in life. The guys I hung out with in grade 7, 8…having a blast and talking about our futures and where we want to be and who will be at each other’s wedding etc…some of those friends go along with you to the same high school as others go to their respective high school’s. After graduating, going to college, then university…I look back and reflect. What happened to those people..where are they in life? What struggles did they go through? What other friends did they meet, or lose?…how did they pass away? I am 34 now, and I miss those years! They were some of my most memorable moment’s. As time goes on, my friend circle starts to shrink…so many thoughts in my mind..I needed to let this out. To those that have been with me throughout my schooling , I wish nothing but the best for you and I hope you all are doing well. To the friends I have lost due to whatever reason, please forgive, as I have forgiven you… for those that have passed away …may you always rest in paradise. Tears are coming down my cheeks as I write these thoughts…life is beautiful! Stay safe!
Damn we graduated the same years and this got me reminiscing about the high school years. Miss those times too. Thanks for this
