My best friend who recommended this song had passed on 1ST Jan 2019.. We were both college students and was about to enter the last year... He was a fantastic player on the guitar and he would introduce to me bands like A7X and Simple Plan Only after this song had I really been fond of SI. Now the lyrics hit me like he is singing to me "What if I changed the world.. What if I graduaaaaate..??? And I will be waiting here " Damn you mayynn.. Hope you had found peace dear BIJU
After listening to this for 10+ times, it suddenly hit me that this will make the perfect duet where one person sings the What If parts and the other one sings the I'll be waiting here like
As someone battling trauma and wondering whether i am strong enough to live on my own in this life this song gives me hope. It reassures me that no matter what traumas that i hold and feeling like i struggle with taking care of myself, there is hope. "What if i graduate? What if i don't? What if i change the world? What if i lead the way? Would you still be there?" I feel like I've been waiting my whole life for my parents to accept as who I am but i don't think it's going to happen. And this song gives me strength to realize that even though i might not be able to choose my blood family or how others act, i can control my own life and choose to work on healing.
This song is their BEST BUT UNDERAPPRECIATED/UNDERRATED SONG. How i wish they made more songs like this one. Perfect may be my childhood song but Holding On, What If and No Love is my anthem ever since I started to earn my first paycheck. I miss this version of Simple Plan.
“What If” (2008) is an essay, inspired by the TV show “Heroes”, about changing and improving the world. Frontman Pierre Bouvier explained : “We had been watching a lot of TV these last couple of years and we’ve been really into the show ‘Heroes.’ It was kind of inspired by the character Peter Petrelli who feels tortured ans is trying to do the right thing even though a lot of people are opposing him […]. I think if anyone is trying to do something important or something that might be seen as a little controversial, when you go through it you have to go through obstacles and it’s kind of confusing because you don’t know if you want to do it or not […].” 💙🎶💛
I didn't even get 5 seconds in before crying. That's a record breaking time for emotion to hit in from a song. And this was sadness.. one of my least felt.
*What if* I wasn’t depressed? *What if* I was a happy, pure girl? *What if* I had friends? *What if* I had helpful family? *What if* the world didn’t suck?
Yes, this world sucks, it's broken. Depression comes along with it, that's how it is. But there is a way to understand it. The best answers you can find are in the Bible. Just look it up there. Your life doesn't have to be filled with all those "what ifs" but it's normal in this world anyway. Just listen to the God's Word, which is a book for us, people, to understand our part in this world. Because we all have sinned against God (who is the creator and righteous sovereign) and we are damned to death. Even me. In the beginning, we were created in the image of God, we didn't have to go through all those depression and suffering of life. But later on, as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, death was passed on to all men, because all sinned. It goes hand in hand with depressions, illnes, diseases, cancer, poverty, injustice, crimes, lies, other stuff we see in this fallen world. We see all those bad things that happens around us, we acknowledge they are morally wrong, but sometimes we don't understand why. The answer is this. We are fallen and far away from God's standard. We cannot save ourselves, we cannot help our situation. We need help. And there is no other help than through the faith in Jesus Christ, the savior, the Son of God. He was the only person who lived righteous life (he fulfilled God's standard) and was killed and bruised for it because people hated his righteous deeds. He suffered and died on the cross for our transgressions and made the way for us to follow. He said: "I am the way and the truth and the life.". He was raised from the death and lives. So can we. If we trust in him as our Lord and savior. Otherwise we serve for the world and darkness. You don't have to ask what if, just look around yourself and you'll see. That's how it is.
Lol, If the world didn't suck, we'd be in Heaven about now. Eh. Best advice I can blab about it just take one day at a time and say screw the rest. No use getting grey hair and sappy over stuff that when we're old we'll forget about it anyways and remember the important stuff instead-like when Bingo comes up and socializing with family members and grandkid names so we don't end up calling "Billy" "Bonnie" or something around that :-)
Depression can be healed if one is strong enough to learn the why of it, to truly forgive yourself for it happening, to over come the pain, and to let go of all past negativities from that point on. True happiness comes when one truly has faith in oneself, has faith in those around them, and KNOWING for fact that those closest to you has faith in you. With that inner strength you can have friends, but take heed some people will just try to feed off of your positive energy. Only become friends with those who truly deserve your friendship. We cannot pick our blood families, but we can pick our nonblood families. If you're families aren't there for you in your time of need, then, I would suggest you reach out to them, ask why, and if reconciliation is needed then do what is needed. The world isn't bad, but it is need of a lot of healing. If you mean the people...There is no such thing as just good and just bad people. Humans have the freewill do as they wish. The concept of good and bad begins and ends with humans. With all humans there are good times and there are bad times. I suggest you forgive, let go, but never forget all of the bad experiences in your life because without them we wouldn't able to see and appreciate the good times. They would all just be times, events that happen to us with no feelings, no desires, and no dreams towards anything. Everyone would lose their freewill, and ultimately the human race would not be able to survive as whole. We need both good and bad in this realm to gain the knowledge and truth, the passion and drive, the respect and honesty, the will and strength to do and be who and what we are meant to be. You must look deep within yourselves, VERY deep, to truly see yourself. This must be discovered on your own. Nobody can guide you in this. Only advice can be given, but it is advice, not direction, not an order. If it feels right within your soul then chances are it is. Anything less than that path is not truly meant for you although it may lead to your correct path. Just please remember.... Everything has a price.
Honestly, i have a open choice of songs. I like rap, instrumental, rock, classic, disco (a bit) but never has something caught my eye for so long. Simple Plan, you have caught my eye for days an months. I honestly love Simple Plan, their songs are so meaningful and beautiful to hear to. Its smt that is there when u need some cheeeing up, reminding that you can do this, smt to just rock out to, smt that just empatizhes (spl?) With you. Its perfect. 😍
2:00 "What if I can't go on without you" Oh for fuck's sake all this time I thought it was "what if I kick a wall without you" I can't be the only one. Please tell me I'm not the only one.
+Lolligator Took quite a bit of imagination to hear "what if I kick a wall without you" to be honest, lol. But I know the phenomenon of making up the most silly lyrics, even though the correct ones should be pretty easy to hear. :D Once you're used to the wrong ones, you'll simply not notice you've been wrong the whole time, hahaha. :)
Someday I'm gonna have a band, and in one of our songs we'll add a ridiculous line that kinda sounds like a serious one just to mess with people's heads
as someone who battled depression for 12 years, you can beat it. I'm depression free. no longer want to commit suicide. only you can change your outlook on life. if you're old enough~ go reach for better jobs. don't just stay in that job that keeps you depressed. you don't deserve something that ruins your life. reach for something that is best for your mental health. go to school. move to another state, don't let anything hold you back. explore what helps you. good luck.
I love your strength. I've struggled with depression and still wonder about my purpose at times. I'm glad that you're in a better place. You're special friend thanks for your words of encouragement 💜
lairhab I've heard of attack on titan and tokyo ghoul, but i don't really know a lot of anime's XD I've watched mermaid melody and shugo chara when I was younger, and after that I've watched Angel Beats and now I still have to watch the 3th season of Sword Art Online
When you go through a break up only to find you still truly love each other….and there’s that faith that it’s not the end afterall and you might get back together🙂❤
"What if I change the world, if I lead the way" "What if I be the one who takes the blame" Seems like every lyrics sums up the Code Geass sequel. This anime consumes the hell outta me. All Hail, Lelouch!
Tara Keebler If you don't care, why the hell are you answering my comment?? Comments are made for people to say what they think. If you don't care about other people's thoughts, what where you expecting when you took a look at the comment section?
Simple Plan....Great songs in the first and 2nd seasons but what happned to the songs with meaning..with moral..like crazy or welcome to my life...the new songs TRY to do it but fail...put more time into it
Save you has tonnes of meaning it is about cancer patients as both Pierre and Jeff have relatives who have cancer. Pierre's brother and Jeff's mum so Save You has meaning
I love this. Sometimes the path we take doesn't fit with the people around us but that path might help us discover ourselves. I love these words of wisdom 👏
*What if* I was born a Man, no having to suffer in this body. *what if* people didn't judge me for my sexuality *what if* I had a family that loved me *what if* people stopped leaving me
What if I don't? I'm giving up... I can't help. No one cares, all of my friends have left me bleeding. This song , I can relate to it. I would be waiting but no one would ever call me. That's my situation at the moment and I don't know how to handle it. What if I don't? I'll be waiting here for anyone to call me
What if you fall? But what if you fly? Every what if has a light and dark side with what ifs there's a multitude of possibilities. You've got this. Even if you feel alone, here for you. It's hard dealing with sadness and the darkness sometimes feels like no one is there for you. But you were born in this life because you are strong to live in. You're special and matter. Don't give up because your story is important and you have a place in the world.

This song takes me back to the good old times. I wanna be a teenager again when I hear this.
My best friend who recommended this song had passed on 1ST Jan 2019..
We were both college students and was about to enter the last year...
He was a fantastic player on the guitar and he would introduce to me bands like A7X and Simple Plan
Only after this song had I really been fond of SI.
Now the lyrics hit me like he is singing to me
"What if I changed the world..
What if I graduaaaaate..???
And I will be waiting here "
Damn you mayynn.. Hope you had found peace dear BIJU
Seeing simple plans song in my recommendations when i need it the most

I feel sad easily but this song makes me feel motivated, not sad...
*What if* I wasn’t depressed?
*What if* I was a happy, pure girl?
*What if* I had friends?
*What if* I had helpful family?

Why they didnt have thier Music Video for this Song😭😭😭.....Simple Plan ❤❤❤ #forever💪💪💪
I love those songs
This is my 2nd favorite my frist is this song saved my lufe
Simple Plan....Great songs in the first and 2nd seasons but what happned to the songs with meaning..with moral..like crazy or welcome to my life...the new songs TRY to do it but fail...put more time into it
true....
Save you has tonnes of meaning it is about cancer patients as both Pierre and Jeff have relatives who have cancer. Pierre's brother and Jeff's mum so Save You has meaning
Adam Morgenstern u have a point there
Have you even listening to TRY and LUCKY ONE? They still have good songs and are trying new stuff.

Minha música sempre foi e sempre será minha musica! 😣😊😢
Best song ever
...The song speaks for itself.
You cant....you end-up in smoke, change ur heading to me, together we'll do everything.
What if I don't? I'm giving up... I can't help. No one cares, all of my friends have left me bleeding. This song , I can relate to it. I would be waiting but no one would ever call me. That's my situation at the moment and I don't know how to handle it. What if I don't? I'll be waiting here for anyone to call me
What if you fall? But what if you fly? Every what if has a light and dark side with what ifs there's a multitude of possibilities. You've got this. Even if you feel alone, here for you. It's hard dealing with sadness and the darkness sometimes feels like no one is there for you. But you were born in this life because you are strong to live in. You're special and matter. Don't give up because your story is important and you have a place in the world.
Me thinking it could be an awesome anime opening..
0:35 START :)
Why do I immediately relate everything to Attack on Titan?!
Because AoT is life.
