I just found this song, after so many years of haven forgotten it existed. Like holy crap, childhood memory unlocked, and Christ it hits different. Listened to it, when I was like 12... I'm now 23, I have a masters degree, a functional adult life... Where did the time go...
This song always hits a spot. I was 13 when this came out and now I'm 22 and soon turning 23. I relate more and more to this song every year that passes. What a time to be alive.
My brother showed me this song when it came out (i was 8) I didn’t understand the lyrics. I really liked the music video and the song (the beat and stuff) now listening to it at 18 is crazy different.
i hit shuffle on my spotify liked songs and it hit me with this wave of nostalgia. remember the day this came out. now im turning 25 in a couple months. what a wild ride
I have the extremely rare gift of knowing that right now I _am_ in “the good ole days.” I stopped myself in the hallway at work the other day and realized I was _happy,_ truly just “my neutral mood is happy” for maybe the first time in 3 years, and it was one of the first times I’d been happy in 6 months. I hope things continue to get better- but I have to remind myself just how lucky and blessed I am right now.
I'll eat jelly, and sometimes fish if I'm sexually frustrated, and sometimes together if I want to play with my dog, but I'll never et Randy with jelly and fish.
This, listening to it today, gives me so much chills. I almost cant explain how much this song means to me, i remember listening to this way back and just how i really felt it even as how young i was. It was only a couple years ago, but those couple years were pivotal to me overall as a person, and this was the song i used to listen to in the beginning of it, and listening to it now... it brings a tear to my eye. Julian really did make amazing songs.
I feel you on this. I managed to find my comment from 8 years that says "somehow this made me cry" and listening to this song now after so much time has allowed me to appreciate this song so much more and cry even more haha. He really made great music.
He really did , even though I didn’t really listen to him that much because I was born around the time he was the biggest he was , but I remember when I was younger (I’m still young) my brothers would show me his videos and it did kind’ve shaped my sense of humor sometimes also my family has a lot of inside jokes from his videos , even my parents , so it is really cool coming back to his videos
If you want that rush of nostalgia every now and again his music is on Spotify. His comedy/satire is under Julian Smith and his serious works are under B Story. Honestly, Julian Smith retiring from making music, both satirical and serious, was one of the biggest tragedies in my lifetime. He has such a great talent for making great and catchy beats/melodies, hilarious lyrics, lyrics that can touch the heart, and just connecting with the listeners
I was 32 when this song was uploaded. It resonated with me and brought an odd form of nostalgia for my younger days. 11 years later and it still hits those same feelings. The song and video are one of the most underrated pieces of content on RUclips.
Julian, I don't normally comment on videos, but I wanted to let you know how much your content specifically this song meant to me growing up.. I was a shy lonely kid who bounced around from school to school (we lived in 10 different homes/cities growing up due to my single mother not being able to make rent) and your videos were an escape for me.. anyways in high school I had a huge crush on a girl my senior year and never made a move because I was terrified of rejection.. 3 years after graduating, I found her on Facebook and made a move.. we've been together ever since and I just shared this with our 10 year old son, and he loved it as well.. this song reminds me of how much time I wasted being scared... it ended up working out for me but I just wanted you to know all these years later that your videos helped me through really rough times and you made a huge difference in my life without you ever knowing it.. sorry for the rambling I tend to do that some times lol
This song still makes me cry so many years later. You fear so much in life and then one day you realize your fear is exactly what caused the reality you feared to happen. I wanna remember what it was like back then.
found this song the day it came out. I was 14, thinking that what I was dealing with at the time was so important, and not fully understanding the meaning of this song. Being 23 now and listening to this song; I want to remember what it was like Back Then.
This is one of my favorite songs of all time. I remember hearing it when I was a kid and being impressed with Julian but also intrigued at this seriousness and as a goofy kid that was monumental to me. Hearing it now gives me a strange feeling inside that I enjoy a lot.
Julian is a beautiful story teller, funny or not. The story with the glowing package is the best so far. The glow is his love for her, then at the end the room is full of the glow because she is in it, he ended up with her. I just love that.
I have watched this video billions of times and every time I watch this video I cry. because about a month before this video came out my brother left and I just miss him so much and my brother and I would watch your videos all the time. this video reminds me of my brother a lot an I really wish I could go back in time and try to make him stay so to end off great job making an emotional video.thanks
Alright, after seeing this, I will pay full price for any movie you ever make. If you ever set up a kickstarter or something, I'll definitely contribute.
Say what you will about Julian and his style of humor, but anyone with a heart would agree that this song is beautiful. This video just adds another layer to the emotional impact that the song already has alone.
We’re all here vibing. Maybe it’s romance. But maybe it’s not telling someone something important before they passed. I missed the 3 family reunions leading up to my aunt’s death and I didn’t miss a single one after that for like 4 years.
If I could have a second chance to change everything I would go back and tell that one specific girl that she meant the world to me... I still see her beautiful face and her smile in my mind ... Makes me tear up a bit and it's very hurtful that she will never know how I felt about her...If I only had the courage to do so when I had the chance....This is a beautiful song that relates to me the one reason I love it
Come back to it every few months. Always shocked at how little recognition it got, which is a shame, because if it was more successful Julian may have pursued a music career and made more great songs like this.
MAN I really like this song, and the video is a really nice parallel. This is definitely a higher caliber video than your regular run-of-the-mill RUclipsr produces. THIS is why Julian will never want for viewers.
Im coming back 8 years later because i love this song so much. Julian Smith please keep making music. This song stuck with me since i was 11 i love it so much
Every once in a while I remember this song and think about the time in my life when I first heard it. So much nostalgia and hurt I had back then… haha back then. Whenever I go back to this era of my life my heart smiles a little more
I remember when this song came out 3 years ago. I remember Julian's long ass hiatus. I just saw my comment I posted 2 years ago. Haven't heard this song in 2 years... but I suddenly remembered it this morning and had the urge to listen to it. Still love it!
Just remembered this after several years. It's still really good, and now there's an additional layer of "back then" being when I first listened to this. After looking on the Julian Smith page on Spotify, I was resigned that this wasn't on Spotify. After a bit, I thought I'd try the search bar in case it was listed under a different artist. It was there, and I felt a wave of relief.
I used to listen to this song when I was 14, all sad to see myself growing up and leaving childhood behind slowly. Now, after going through a house fire and losing all our old stuff, old memories, going through so much tragedy since and truly feeling lost from "back then"....I can't begin to describe how it feels now...
Dang sorry about that loss. That was always a big fear of mine. And yes childhood is special really soak in those last few years. You’ve got this! 2corinthians 4:17-18
The glow in the envelope was his chance at a future with the girl of his dreams, he got it when he helped her, and she noticed him. Then it dies when she moves away. Finally the future version of Julian finds it glowing as he has a chance to go back and get her, and does so. The last glow from the door was not only a chance and glimpse of the future with her, but was the future with her, it was the glow.
For about 8 years this song has haunted me in such a deep impactful way until yesterday the truth was finally unraveled and it was all one big misunderstanding between the both of us. And though that chapter of my life has been closed for a long time, the anger and hatred I felt behind this one night has altered the last 8 years so drastically. I will never be with her, I am married, I have kids, a house, a family, and my life long best friend was cut out of my life. This song has been a driving force that potentially could have altered and changed the course of my history Back Then. Though I bailed and lived almost a decade in anger and confusion driving me to do many great things, from writing my first songs to joining the military all goes back to this one fateful night. it now is all a distant memory. I hope to patch things up with my friend and finally move forward with my life rather then think about the pivotal moments of my past.
@@lucassullivan7559 things have been smoothed over and it is in the past. We will never be as close as we once were, the metaphorical pain has subsided but the scars will always be there. we move forward with our separate lives but we manage to get together still and have beers once every couple months over a bond fire.
Julian. If you even still get on youtube or check your video comments, please make an update video to tell us what's happening. I understand that you're over RUclips, but you can't just leave all of the people that love you without a word. Please Julian. This is how everyone feels. If you're reading this, thank you for your time.
When I was about 12, this song, among other very related things, made me and my best friend wanna make music and comedy skits and all sorts of awesome stuff. I think if we had done it right, we really could have gotten somewhere. Now I'm entering my 20's, and my relationship with him ended in a way I couldn't regret more some time ago. I miss it so much, but at least I have the memories of when we tried. Best times ever. Thanks old friend.
I'll give you another reason-corridor digital channel. Awesome special effects and direction. Still though, I think I like Julian more and feel he's extremely underappriciated. He should have more subscribers and video views with such incredible talent. If(or when) he makes a movie, I'm definitely going to see it
TabalugaDragon I couldn't agree more. He's very underrated in my book. I just see him as a genius. I heard he's working on a movie or something. I'm really looking forward to it.
***** who says they dont pewds he has changed a lot in the past but i do see your point on how its unfair to youtubers who sing get overtaken by gamers but i am a youtuber gamer
8 years later…..and this song hits harder due to so much hurt and heart ache and I really wish I could remember meeting that person for the first time again….but I can’t
Hey man. Just wanted to say thank you for making my childhood great. I wish I could go back and see your vids for the first time. From the bottom of my heart. Thanks.
I love coming back to listen to this song and enjoy this video. Thanks for all the little gems you've given us over the years, and all the great memories. Every time I come back to one of these videos I remember the friends I shared them with, in the computer lab or on our phones in high school, and it's wild how long ago that was now.
Man I love your stuff! Ive been a fan for like for ever and I miss you! Please post something anything! even another live stream to hear about what you're up to now. I know your dont know your viewers. But sometimes it feels like some of us know you. And we miss you!!!
So happy I found this! It was just this weekend I started singing this is a nice hotel to my buddy. Yes, at a hotel and it was indeed nice. Always loved your stuff, no matter which direction you've gone.
I remember this song have a lot of meaning to me when I as younger and had just been introduced to Julian Smith's work as an artist and content creator. I always felt a longing with this song and found myself coming back to it over and over again. It's been 8 years and that feeling deep in my stomach still exists when I hear this song. This song is amazing and I love it dearly
It’s been 7 years. We need this right now. This feeling. It’s 2020. We need this. We’re on the way out But on the way in I just want to remember what it was like back then.
My guess is that the bag, but more specifically the glow inside, represent the life that he could have had with that girl if he had just made a move while fixing her bike (that was when it first appeared. Later it disappears due to her leaving for college). Whenever he was down he would just look inside and be welcomed with some sense of satisfaction in life knowing what 'could' have been. No matter how hard he tried she would always be on his mind so one day he went back in-time to fix it. As time goes on you always look back at what you could have done differently to change how your life is now. However, it is these choices that you make at any given moment that affect what your life turns out to be and makes us who we really are. I feel like this video all the time and understand how much the feeling of wanting to go back and change just 1 little moment can affect a person. God damn I wish I had a time machine.
very well done, also fun fact for no-one that knows this but a refrigerator was the original time machine in back to the future (before they changed the script)
Every other month or so I keep coming back to watch this. I was 10 years old when I first saw this; this is what made me what to write music. Thanks Julian.
Watched this video when it first came out and this song spoke to me so deeply. I was going through tough times and it helped me cope so much. Now revisiting the song, I smile while I watch it because of the things I overcame since I heard it last. Great stuff...
Cool Cat Random thank u i spelled a couple words off but thats my dumb smartfones responsibility. I have 5 children and my last daughter has same birthday as my son JUSTUS Who gave song to me. He is just how his name describes u Just'us Trinity.. Justus and God. U look real YOUNG so my prayer for you is that dont rush nor allow a man to take any part km nbb
Nick Walters So you're saying you went into the past to comment on a video you can watch and comment on also in the future... I'd probably do the same.
I remember listening to this song when my dad gave me a beer after I broke up with my high school sweetheart. 7 years later me and her are getting married. Needed to come back to feel some memories
Great work Julian! Love the refrigerator and retro scenes. Who hasn't dreamed of going back in time and helping set one's younger self straight? I would love to see an entire movie based around this.
Watching and listening to this back when it was first released, I was probably starting out middle school and thought this was just a nice sounding love story song. Cut to 2022, I'm halfway through my second year of college listening to this realizing missed opportunities I had back then. Not just academic opportunities but social ones as well.
For me, the light resembles warm feelings of love you have for someone. He kept them as a memory, and it slowly faded away. When he returned back, the the room was filled with this warmth...
With the reunion of Smosh I've started going down memory road with the OG RUclipsrs. I forgot how much I love Julian's skits and music.
I just found this song, after so many years of haven forgotten it existed. Like holy crap, childhood memory unlocked, and Christ it hits different. Listened to it, when I was like 12... I'm now 23, I have a masters degree, a functional adult life... Where did the time go...
Good job man ❤️🩹
Awesome to be 23 with masters degree
Realist fucking comment.
Same dude.. first time I heard this I had to be like 11 or so. Now I’m 22, married, with a kid on the way. And it does hit different now.
This song always hits a spot. I was 13 when this came out and now I'm 22 and soon turning 23. I relate more and more to this song every year that passes. What a time to be alive.
Turning 23 myself in two months, how awesome is it that we shared an experience like that
My brother showed me this song when it came out (i was 8) I didn’t understand the lyrics. I really liked the music video and the song (the beat and stuff) now listening to it at 18 is crazy different.
@@zacharystephens174 i was 24 when this came out n now im 34. enjoy ur 20s they go quick.
i hit shuffle on my spotify liked songs and it hit me with this wave of nostalgia. remember the day this came out. now im turning 25 in a couple months. what a wild ride

Well, for once in life someone knew they were in the good old days… and they were…
fml
I don't understand why Julian doesn't make anymore lovely songs like these...
But I'd rather eat Randy.
Just don't eat a jellyfish OR YOU'LL DIE
I'll eat jelly, and sometimes fish if I'm sexually frustrated, and sometimes together if I want to play with my dog, but I'll never et Randy with jelly and fish.
I know
RIGHT

There's a full album
it's like four songs
Dilynne H. The song of nostalgia

I remember seeing this the day it came out. I was probably like 17-18. Hits different at 28.
28 here too!
This is the best thing I think Julian ever made
This song still makes me cry so many years later. You fear so much in life and then one day you realize your fear is exactly what caused the reality you feared to happen. I wanna remember what it was like back then.
Also the cinematography for this is fan freaking tastic. well executed.
I have watched movies with worst acting.
I’ve come back for nearly 10 years. This will always put me in my feels and it’s nostalgic af
Same here

Dang man... I feel that 😔
julian youre music is more powerful than you realize, this song has been listened by me countless if times by me.
This is one of my favorite songs of all time. I remember hearing it when I was a kid and being impressed with Julian but also intrigued at this seriousness and as a goofy kid that was monumental to me. Hearing it now gives me a strange feeling inside that I enjoy a lot.
I've been listening to this song for the past 7 years.....Julian! Whered you go brother! We wanna remember what it was like back then....
I really like the acoustic vid too!

Alright, after seeing this, I will pay full price for any movie you ever make. If you ever set up a kickstarter or something, I'll definitely contribute.
Rozar Demolin Totally agree! One hundred percent!
I wish I could like this one hundred times over and over!
I agree completely, the simple like button doesn't even begin to describe how much I love this video!
The Melon Man ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+The Melon Man I agree. Whoever disliked this video deserves to.... (Die?)
+The Melon Man same
You can just make 100 channels TIMES what you want and visit this video. I already made 50,000+ accounts
Say what you will about Julian and his style of humor, but anyone with a heart would agree that this song is beautiful.
This video just adds another layer to the emotional impact that the song already has alone.
Most underrated song ever, why wasn't this a hit?
Man I miss these days love ya Julian!
Here i am, listening to this song yet again after not having heard it for nearly two years and i'm loving it still the same.
+z3r0 phr34k same here. FeelsGoodMan
reminder to come back
We’re all here vibing.
Maybe it’s romance. But maybe it’s not telling someone something important before they passed.
I missed the 3 family reunions leading up to my aunt’s death and I didn’t miss a single one after that for like 4 years.
It’s been 8 years my friend.
Still loving this song.
Julian Smith is the definition of talent. From comedy to music, he has captured the word.
.
cold inside was a song i used to listen to all the time as a depressed tween... thank you julian lol
He's a great singer because, unlike some people who try way too hard, he just sings. It gives a really nice effect to the beautiful song.
If I could have a second chance to change everything I would go back and tell that one specific girl that she meant the world to me... I still see her beautiful face and her smile in my mind ... Makes me tear up a bit and it's very hurtful that she will never know how I felt about her...If I only had the courage to do so when I had the chance....This is a beautiful song that relates to me the one reason I love it
One of my all time favorite videos on RUclips. So much truth to it. You can take or leave love..
I choose to leave the peace of crap behind.
this song is SO underrated. any 2019/2020 listeners?
Come back to it every few months. Always shocked at how little recognition it got, which is a shame, because if it was more successful Julian may have pursued a music career and made more great songs like this.

Growing up coming back to this song hits closer to home smh
This is the definition of dedication
Wow... This music and cinematic had me tearing up...
Realizing this ep is 5 years old and is the only thing that will ever come of b story breaks my heart.
I miss him and his content. Such an amazing artist. Hope he's happy, wish the best for him
This is probably the best music video I seen in my life. It's a whole movie in a 4 min song. I come back to watch it again and again.
Julian. If you even still get on youtube or check your video comments, please make an update video to tell us what's happening. I understand that you're over RUclips, but you can't just leave all of the people that love you without a word. Please Julian. This is how everyone feels. If you're reading this, thank you for your time.
yeah, and we miss Jeffery 2
I am so in love with this song and video. God, this whole thing is so beautiful and emotional.
I believe you!!!!
Ya it is after this u got go watch one of his other vids to not feel so emotional
How has it been 8 years since this video? It still gives me feelings.
When I was about 12, this song, among other very related things, made me and my best friend wanna make music and comedy skits and all sorts of awesome stuff. I think if we had done it right, we really could have gotten somewhere. Now I'm entering my 20's, and my relationship with him ended in a way I couldn't regret more some time ago. I miss it so much, but at least I have the memories of when we tried. Best times ever. Thanks old friend.
I really wish there was more B Story music.
Julian is the only reason I haven't gave up on RUclips. This video along with his others show why.
Thank you, Julian.
I'll give you another reason-corridor digital channel. Awesome special effects and direction. Still though, I think I like Julian more and feel he's extremely underappriciated. He should have more subscribers and video views with such incredible talent. If(or when) he makes a movie, I'm definitely going to see it
TabalugaDragon
I couldn't agree more.
He's very underrated in my book.
I just see him as a genius.
I heard he's working on a movie or something.
I'm really looking forward to it.
Video Game High School. Watch it. Now.
***** who says they dont
pewds he has changed a lot in the past
but i do see your point on how its unfair to youtubers who sing get overtaken by gamers
but i am a youtuber gamer
My cousins and I love this song, we hold it in a sort of respect to remember everything we've done. Every time I listen it brings nostalgia.
I'm shocked. That was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
8 years later…..and this song hits harder due to so much hurt and heart ache and I really wish I could remember meeting that person for the first time again….but I can’t
8 years ago today :') i don't remember how i found this video back then but it became so special to me ahh
This song helps me remember what it was like back in the golden age of julian smith
Sometimes I go back to this. This song and this video... Man how I wish you made more.
Hey man. Just wanted to say thank you for making my childhood great. I wish I could go back and see your vids for the first time. From the bottom of my heart. Thanks.
Haven't listened to this stuff in years and now coming back to it after a break up. Whole new meaning :/
Never thought a Julian smith vid would make me think back on my past as much as this... Amazing tune.
This in my opinion is the best thing Julian Smith has ever created.
I love coming back to listen to this song and enjoy this video. Thanks for all the little gems you've given us over the years, and all the great memories. Every time I come back to one of these videos I remember the friends I shared them with, in the computer lab or on our phones in high school, and it's wild how long ago that was now.
Julian smith should make an album with songs like this one, I would totally buy it on iTunes.
He does, the album is called Quantum Mechanics
SethSkitsGaming No, thats an EP. so only 4 songs. It would be cool to get like 10...or 11....or 12...lol
It would be so awesome to get 10 songs, I have the EP download and I love every song so much.
Man I love your stuff! Ive been a fan for like for ever and I miss you! Please post something anything! even another live stream to hear about what you're up to now. I know your dont know your viewers. But sometimes it feels like some of us know you. And we miss you!!!
So happy I found this! It was just this weekend I started singing this is a nice hotel to my buddy. Yes, at a hotel and it was indeed nice. Always loved your stuff, no matter which direction you've gone.
I remember this song have a lot of meaning to me when I as younger and had just been introduced to Julian Smith's work as an artist and content creator. I always felt a longing with this song and found myself coming back to it over and over again. It's been 8 years and that feeling deep in my stomach still exists when I hear this song. This song is amazing and I love it dearly
Keep coming back to feel something
Oh no I'm still here
It’s been 7 years.
We need this right now.
This feeling.
It’s 2020.
We need this.
We’re on the way out
But on the way in
I just want to remember what it was like back then.
Ironically just rediscovered this while binging nostalgic old videos, trying to remember what it was like back then
This will always be a masterpiece been here since the beginning. You paved the Pioneering years of yt!
My guess is that the bag, but more specifically the glow inside, represent the life that he could have had with that girl if he had just made a move while fixing her bike (that was when it first appeared. Later it disappears due to her leaving for college). Whenever he was down he would just look inside and be welcomed with some sense of satisfaction in life knowing what 'could' have been. No matter how hard he tried she would always be on his mind so one day he went back in-time to fix it.
As time goes on you always look back at what you could have done differently to change how your life is now. However, it is these choices that you make at any given moment that affect what your life turns out to be and makes us who we really are. I feel like this video all the time and understand how much the feeling of wanting to go back and change just 1 little moment can affect a person.
God damn I wish I had a time machine.
I don’t know why but this song always gives me a knot in my stomach (in a good way), just goes to show how good a director Julian Smith is.
This video gives me the most amazing feeling of nostalgia I've ever experienced… I don't know how to explain it
this song was on repeat when it came out. it meant so much to me. now all these years later. still helps me when I'm feeling down❤
this is one of the most underrated videos on youtube
very well done, also fun fact for no-one that knows this but a refrigerator was the original time machine in back to the future (before they changed the script)
I like you
Every other month or so I keep coming back to watch this. I was 10 years old when I first saw this; this is what made me what to write music. Thanks Julian.
Watched this video when it first came out and this song spoke to me so deeply. I was going through tough times and it helped me cope so much.
Now revisiting the song, I smile while I watch it because of the things I overcame since I heard it last. Great stuff...
Ooooooo so cute your story I mean
Cool Cat Random thank u i spelled a couple words off but thats my dumb smartfones responsibility. I have 5 children and my last daughter has same birthday as my son JUSTUS Who gave song to me. He is just how his name describes u Just'us Trinity.. Justus and God. U look real YOUNG so my prayer for you is that dont rush nor allow a man to take any part km nbb
Come back, after 6 years, give it another listen :)
After years and years I still adore this song with all my heart, thank you Julian!
Great casting. The younger version of you looks JUST LIKE YOU!
Cause it's his brother..
its Julian you fools he figured out time travel
da man Who hasn't? Oh wait -- you're all from the past. Well, for me, that is.
it is his little brother
Nick Walters So you're saying you went into the past to comment on a video you can watch and comment on also in the future... I'd probably do the same.
this should be on the radio
I remember listening to this song when my dad gave me a beer after I broke up with my high school sweetheart. 7 years later me and her are getting married. Needed to come back to feel some memories
Similar story here. I wonder how many relationships this video alone helped save.
Some people haven't cried watching this masterpiece and it shows.
10 years later..
Yeah , what has happened to us baby?
Still
your best piece JS, js.
Imho
Great work Julian! Love the refrigerator and retro scenes.
Who hasn't dreamed of going back in time and helping set one's younger self straight? I would love to see an entire movie based around this.
Watching and listening to this back when it was first released, I was probably starting out middle school and thought this was just a nice sounding love story song.
Cut to 2022, I'm halfway through my second year of college listening to this realizing missed opportunities I had back then. Not just academic opportunities but social ones as well.
We miss you Julian
This song really hit a new type of different
For me, the light resembles warm feelings of love you have for someone. He kept them as a memory, and it slowly faded away. When he returned back, the the room was filled with this warmth...
made me cry a bit. great song. keep it up
Happy 10 year anniversary!!!
6 years later and I’m still listening to this song, can we please get this on Apple Music?
So sick to see him revive this project. Legendary.
