Yes, this song has been in my head for the past year or so, I even sang the “hello, hello” part today without Thinking. Then ten minutes ago my friend mentioned the song dear winter which I love so I listened to it and went to more of their songs.
This song reminds of my my friend from the Xbox 360 days. Knew him for years, and he said he’d be back in a few days since he was going on vacation. Never been back online. I’ll never forget you, David. Maybe we’ll meet again.
I love how in the first chorus when he sees the "inner child" in some dude's sunglasses, he isn't even embarrassed (or at least doesn't show it) when he realizes he was just awkwardly staring deeply into another stranger's eyes. He's just so amazed to see his inner child reflection. So many little things in this song that I love! This song is so relatable too. At first he realizes he's still a kid at heart, and his first reaction - as an adult - is to try and get rid of it by moving reflection to reflection really fast. When he does lose his inner child, he feels lost and looks everywhere trying to get it back. Definitely one of AJR's best music videos on top of one of their best songs imo
awhhh i feel ya man. it sucks... but after all the memories with them are still vivid isn't it. Let's cherish all moments and memories we have with them. Separating paths are sucks but that's what life is....
I’ll never forget when I discovered AJR. It was RIGHT when this song came out. I was driving to my first training conference to be an Assistant Director at Huntington Learning Center. I heard this song and it reminded me of my best friends back home a few states away. I got this sinking feeling right there that I was going down the wrong path, the “professional” path I never wanted to. I buried my feelings and finished the training and I was Assistant Director for a while miserable year. I kept this song close to my heart until I was finally ready to put in my 2 weeks and pursue my real love of writing. Growing up really did make me numb, and AJR helped me sober up.
Ja Boi dang it’s my boi!! Right now I’m actually not writing, making videos instead to market and expand my audience. It’s kinda killing me inside though ya know? I can’t wait until I’m done so I can get back to writing my own stuff. Right now I’m working on a writing course to teach others who want to write their own novel.
@@Muncheiy that's awesome! you're literally the best person i've seen in the comment section of a song. sure, the jokes are funny, but man, you're so cool! you'll go far
My 11 yr old is obsessed with AJR. She showed me this about a year ago. We fled her daddy from an abusive situation. I'm sitting here feeling sorry for myself, but my girl knows the right song for the moment. We've got this.
This is the one band that I actually feel like the members are just normal, down to earth, relatable dudes. Just 3 great guys that make great music, no fake shit no selling out like every other artist does
They’re not famous😏😅 yet. But Ry (What jack calls Ryan) and jack are students while Adam just got his PhD and they’re just cool guys. Making music out of random things.
Every song from AJR always has a meaning and its confusing unless you look and see whats happening for example he is trying not to loose the feeling of being a kid in this song and its just a nice feeling
This song makes me want to live life to the fullest without any worries. Growing up brings pressure and responsibility, but life is also short and we don’t have time to stress or worry about anything. These guys are so carefree and so relatable. Their music makes me smile.. thank you, AJR!
I shed so many tears to this song and now that I got to hear it again, I too wonder where has it all gone... I'm working a job I don't like, living with people (family) who don't make me happy (after the only dear person from the bunch had passed away), having friends who don't reciprocate anything or who just do the bare minimum, I've never felt love with a woman, or similar belonging... The song says "all the big kids, they are drunk", but I feel that's the only way to cope :/ Oh and I'm writing this after a great vacation with a couple of real friends. So basically while I'm feeling "better than usual". Ah. What a tedious journey, this 'life'.

It took me forever and a music video to realize that he was talking about his childhood innocence instead of a girl when he says, "Last time that I saw your face was recess in second grade."
This song reminds me of my friend Kendra. She was an excellent artist. Really liked cats, especially mine. I've never met anyone who believed in me as much as she did. She moved, but we still talked online. Eventually we lost touch from even that. She didn't show up online for a long time. Turns out she died eight months ago in a car accident. She was 15. The last thing she ever texted me was how she wanted to meet up soon.
The line “my favorite color is you” brings back a very distinct memory for me. I used to have such interesting and meaningful conversations with a friend. She hated small talk and so we would often try to have more meaningful conversations. One day we were talking about liking AJR, and we mentioned this song and somehow we both sang this line at the same time. It was just so nice to share that moment and to be friends.

While I love the reference, describing someone as your favorite color when referencing frequencies is fairly scientifically sound. The perception of color has to do with the frequency of the light waves and how those light waves bounce off of an object and to our eyes.
Growing up definitely made me numb. At age thirteen I lost my best friend. Life was full of comparing life before and after. She’s still gone, that hasn’t changed, but I’m learning to cope. I wasn’t a child anymore. I grew up really fast. And it was terrible. Enjoy your childhood, your youth. Please.
[Verse 1: Jack Met] Hello, hello I'm not where I'm supposed to be I hope that you're missin' me 'Cause it makes me feel young Hello, hello Last time that I saw your face Was recess in second grade And it made me feel young [Chorus: Jack Met] Won't you help me sober up?

How's it go again?
I'm glad I get to see this I heard this on my dad phone and I get to go to my dad's on Friday and Saturday but when I hear this song I miss my mom but thank God she is still alive. Like what I said if u like u mom and dad. Also just to let u no I'm happy for love
I like how AJR’s songs aren’t about love and romance like other songs, they’re songs are about common problems, and I love that. They’re trying to say YOUR NOT ALONE!
This reminds me of my friend. We were friends in first grade, until he moved to Conneticut. We said we’d keep in touch, but I never heard from him. Turns out he was killed in Sandy Hook. Not a day goes by I don’t miss him. Rest In Peace, Chase 💚

@@user-qu4fd3tu5s its his past self when he was in second grade, back when he had no wories and his feelings where not num. He reverts back to that part of himself at the end of the song which is why he appears a child.
This is the most relatable thing I’ve ever heard. Being the youngest in my family, and moving around a lot when I was younger, this really hits hard. Most of the time when I’m around family I’ve run out of emotions to their antics or I’m just the stupid younger brother. Then I try and find friends who can help me feel alive and my age again, but then they end up being more of a burden than I intended. One day I hope to finally be able to feel like I was when I was younger and had my major emotions.
Y'all are inspiring. I was an alcoholic and this song just hit so many realization points for me. Then I got pregnant with my son and gave up alcohol, this song helped me literally sober up. It's beautiful.
@Lex ? Honestly, everyone complaining about it should be appreciative that their "favorite hit song" is gaining the attention that it deserves. lmao they really upset that the song is becoming more well known and becoming even more of a hit.
Same but I could not tolerate that happening because AJR is my favourite band.Also how could you almost forget I mean you're a real AJR fan I think I'm just a man listening to music If that makes sense
Fun fact: if you didn’t already know this..AJR is actually made of 3 brothers. Also the meaning of this song, the song represents the numbness of growing up and the struggles along with wanting to know what it feels like to be young again.
This is also why the video for "3'oclock things" features them wearing "TB3" shirts. It was what they went by while busking in the Washington Square Park area way back in the day.
when i was like 8 i didnt know what it meant, i looked up what sober meant and i thought it literally meant sober im listening to this again and i just realized
@@hiiilolol It's pretty haunting. They have a knack for deep, meaningful songs that sound a lot like bubblegum pop. This song in particular is something I and many people I know can really relate to.
Wow! These kind of songs rarely appear, but when they do we're in for a treat. It's original, catchy, and even uses instruments not normally associated with alternative! Bravo AJR!
French Fan alternative is mostly instrumental. It's alternative because it's incremental. That's just my 2 cents. Otherwise, yes rarely seen on the mass radio media.
Every once in a while, we just need to hear something that let's us know that we're "ok". I've been struggling to remember this lately - this song helps me remember🙂.
On roblox I had this really nice friend, I miss her a lot. She was pretty much my online best friend. I ended up losing my old account, and her account changed a lot. I think she might’ve given it to someone else. But.. if you see this.. hey. It’s me. Awsomekittenslove.
I had made an online friend a while ago. She stopped making videos and completely cleaned out her channel. She stopped using Discord and other platforms, not responding to any messages or comments. I doubt she’ll see this, but hey. You were my first online friend.
I celebrated 4 years sober recently, and AJR's music was a huge part in seeing how beautiful the world can be without self abuse. Please, keep up the good work.
@@AJSantiesteban That's awesome man, I'm in the middle of my own struggle quitting my bad habits at the moment and it's comforting to hear that someone has overcome it and holds similar comfort in AJRs music as I do, you've given me hope to push on, thank you sir. Hope you're still well, best wishes homeboy.
@@theiconic3994 That made my entire afternoon... Keep up the good fight. Even 5 years later, I still struggle with the occasional trigger. But for me, it's how I handle that situation that makes the difference.
I came from bang but after a while I forgot about ajr then I heard record player on the radio so I decided to listen to ajr again and I am addicted to ajr now and I am glad that I did
I listened to this song as a young teenager, coming right out of my preteens. Didn't know what life had in store for me, and listening to this song on the radio was great, but I didn't understand every bit of it. Six years later, and as a guy pretty close to his early twenties, I can echo the sentiments of this song: I don't know where I'm supposed to be, and I'm trying to search for the older parts of myself in order to feel young
Damn. I think others have already spoken but this song really relates to teens. None of the angst or anything but they fear of losing your childhood. Feeling as if you are abandoning everything you know for the scary and unknown world of adulthood. But its ok to grow up, just don't lose touch with your inner child, we all have friends that need it. So do you.
Im 50...AJR is , or who ever writes their songs are telling my life story....Id really like to meet who that is. Telling me my life story with orchestra...The vibration and lyrics...I guess their are few of us. Personally I think they are genious.
Jack (I think that’s his name) is so symbiotic why he is chasing his younger reflection. It is really deep because as you grow up you only wanna get younger but you can’t. Your youth will always be running from you. Once you embrace that then you might finally find your true youth.
Yeah I started chasing my youth at 29. When I realized I lost it lol. We all wish we could have are youth back with the knowledge we have now. What would the world be like if so? Youths with major knowledge like a 50 year old.lol that would be crazy
All this time, I've been hearing this band on radio channels and enjoying their songs without paying attention to who was doing them. Until today, when I started in a playlist, I didn't realize I like almost everything they do. Now going to have to go get the CD. Good band.
"All the big kids they got drunk" this line hit me very hard. I'm in middle school and I noticed how much everyone has changed. In elementary everyone was all about recess, drawing, making friends, but now everyone is vaping, dating, and cussing. Sometimes I just wish things were like old times
Lots of people change in middle school. It's hard to adapt. I found my middle school family in band Keep and open mind and remember everyone is trying to find who they are and it'll be okay
When i first was in middle school i hated a lot of things. It seemed like all of the people i called “friends” switched up on me. Its gonna be like this for the rest of your life as the world around us changes. Just know that you have to do whats best for yourself first, then others
im in 7th grade, and i felt like no one was the same. we're all changing. theres nothing we can do to stop that. but we can keep pushing through it, and keep moving on. hope youre doing good, and just know that there are still others going through exactly what youre going through. at least, when it comes to middle school/junior high
Well, I mean, theres no reason to smile outside of times when it is required. Empathy is what creates unsuccessful people. Friendships are valuable but they wont post you up in a multimillion dollar house in LA. Like, imagine thinking friendships are more valuable then a mansion and a Lamborghini when a human body is only valued at around 450,000 lmao
My boyfriend sent me this song saying it reminds him of me. Im crying after searching the meaning. My assumption to the meaning was pretty close, but essentially its about asking for help to sober up from the weight of becoming an adult. We are both carefree and happy with each other. He essentially told me that I take away the pressure associated with being an adult. That I make life easier. Which I feel the same way to him about. This song oficially makes me cry when I hear it, and I can hear him so vividly singing it to me on our call last night
I usually listen to older music. But when people start saying there is NO good music in our generation. I would like to say there are a few exceptions, i.e this song.
Same.. The sh** we went through growing up made us the badasses we are today, I tell myself that everyday. And no matter how many times we may fall we will continue to pick ourselves back up again, stronger than we were before. We got this 💪
Madilynn Phelps THEY DESERVE EVERY HUMAN BEAN ON EARTH TO SUBSCRIBE TO THEM. THEY DESERVE THE UNIVERSE TO SUBSCRIBE TO THEM. EVEN THANOS SHOULD SUBSCRIBE TO THEM.
does the most repeated part of the video being in the beggining of it and staying through the entire song means all the people that came back again and again to listen to it? cute.
*More visible disappointment over y’all being disappointed over a friend knowing the song off a platform that does, indeed, suck 90% of the time, yet gave many of us new songs and artist to listen to*
This song hits me hard. The message i get is he is talking to himself when he was younger. Reminiscing about his youth and asking himself to help him sober up because as he grew up he saw how the world really was, cold and cruel and so he turned to alcoholism and partying to deal with it. He misses the innocence & bliss of childhood. Now that he's grown he turns to partying for "fun" because growing up made him numb and he wants that childlike happiness again.
I heard from a talk show that he wrote this song about seeing people who he hasn’t seen since childhood, on Facebook. I like your meaning better. I do hope mine is wrong.
i drove 3 hours to another state bc i thought they were giving a concert. turns out they were just opening up for another band. they played 5 songs and then left but it was 100% worth it
"Growing up has made me numb and I want to feel something again."
Oh how true that is.
brandon heat i felt that too
Dalton Zucco I felt that too much
690th like lol
I legit hated the time of my teens when I could feel myself getting less emotional about stuff
True
I JUST REALIZED THAT HE'S TALKING TO HIMSELF WHEN HE SAYS, "Last time I saw your face was recess in second grade, and it made me feel young..."
i think the entire song is him talking to his younger self
Yeah, I realized that just now when I read your comment...lol

While I love the reference, describing someone as your favorite color when referencing frequencies is fairly scientifically sound. The perception of color has to do with the frequency of the light waves and how those light waves bounce off of an object and to our eyes.

Growing up definitely made me numb. At age thirteen I lost my best friend. Life was full of comparing life before and after. She’s still gone, that hasn’t changed, but I’m learning to cope.
I wasn’t a child anymore. I grew up really fast. And it was terrible.
Enjoy your childhood, your youth. Please.
[Verse 1: Jack Met]
Hello, hello
I'm not where I'm supposed to be
I hope that you're missin' me
'Cause it makes me feel young
Hello, hello
Last time that I saw your face
Was recess in second grade
And it made me feel young
[Chorus: Jack Met]
Won't you help me sober up?
Growin' up, it made me numb
And I wanna feel somethin' again
Won't you help me sober up?
All the big kids, they got drunk
And I want to feel somethin' again (Oh oh oh oh)
Won't you help me feel somethin' again?
How's it go again?
[Verse 2: Jack Met]
"Goodbye, goodbye"
I said to my best-est buds
We said that we'd keep in touch
And we did our best
All my new friends
We smile at party time
But soon we forget to smile
At anything else
[Chorus: Jack Met]
Won't you help me sober up?
Growin' up, it made me numb
And I want to feel somethin' again
Won't you help me sober up?
All the big kids, they got drunk
And I want to feel somethin' again (Oh oh oh oh)
Won't you help me feel somethin' again?
How's it go again?
[Post-Chorus: Jack Met]
How's it go again? (Go again, go again, go again…)
[Bridge: Rivers Cuomo]
My favorite color is you
You're vibratin' out my frequency
My favorite color is you
You keep me young and that's how I wanna be
My favorite color is you
You're vibratin' out my frequency
My favorite color is you
You keep me young and that's how I wanna be
[Verse 1: Jack Met]
Hello, hello
I'm not where I'm supposed to be
I hope that you're missin' me
'Cause it makes me feel young
Hello, hello
Last time that I saw your face
Was recess in second grade
And it made me feel young
[Pre-Chorus: Jack Met]
And I want to feel somethin' again
I just wanna feel somethin' again
How's it go again?
[Chorus: Jack Met]
Won't you help me sober up?
Growin' up, it made me numb
And I want to feel somethin' again (My favorite color is you)
Won't you help me sober up?
All the big kids, they got drunk
And I want to feel somethin' again (My favorite color is you)
Won't you help me feel somethin' again? (My favorite color is you)
Can I finally feel somethin' again?
How's it go again?
I love how you mostly said jack
I misheard it as how is it going gang for some reasons.

I was about to give up, but i just typed the lyrics!
Heard them on the radio and followed them ever since!
I'm glad I get to see this I heard this on my dad phone and I get to go to my dad's on Friday and Saturday but when I hear this song I miss my mom but thank God she is still alive. Like what I said if u like u mom and dad. Also just to let u no I'm happy for love
So how many mirrors do u want?

I like how AJR’s songs aren’t about love and romance like other songs, they’re songs are about common problems, and I love that. They’re trying to say YOUR NOT ALONE!
i think every song is about problems.
@@saudiphilippines I know but not the break up kind of problems
@@saudiphilippines listen to any love song...
agreed
I lve them so much, they really help you to trully feel better
after about 4 years of knowing this song exists, and 2 years of knowing and adoring this band, Sober Up will always make me cry
Crazy that this song was uploaded in 2018 and it's now 6 years old and it still bangs
This reminds me of my friend.
We were friends in first grade, until he moved to Conneticut. We said we’d keep in touch, but I never heard from him.
Turns out he was killed in Sandy Hook.
Not a day goes by I don’t miss him.
Rest In Peace, Chase 💚
I feel so bad for you😮I can't imagine what I would feel like if my best friend died like that.

"My favorite color is you" is the cutest song lyric I have ever heard.
I know right
My favorite line in the song
They didn't come up with that line surprisingly. Rivers Cuomo from the band Weezer wrote that line.
Oh yeah, Rivers Cuomo is featured in this song
What does it mean
Imma leave this comment here so every time someone likes or comments I get reminded to listen to this masterpiece again :)
go ahead
Reminder from your doctor: Listen to this song
listen now
You know what it's been 11 days you definitely need to hear it again
This song makes me feel happy and sad at the same time

@@user-qu4fd3tu5s its his past self when he was in second grade, back when he had no wories and his feelings where not num. He reverts back to that part of himself at the end of the song which is why he appears a child.

TikTok: *steals this song*
This song: “hello hello, I’m not where I’m supposed to be”
101
Yup
Im here because of a stranger thing tiktok with this in it!
Oh, and i get your joke just now😅
I was on that part when I was reading it... they were really not where there supposed to be.
This is the most relatable thing I’ve ever heard. Being the youngest in my family, and moving around a lot when I was younger, this really hits hard. Most of the time when I’m around family I’ve run out of emotions to their antics or I’m just the stupid younger brother. Then I try and find friends who can help me feel alive and my age again, but then they end up being more of a burden than I intended. One day I hope to finally be able to feel like I was when I was younger and had my major emotions.
Y'all are inspiring. I was an alcoholic and this song just hit so many realization points for me. Then I got pregnant with my son and gave up alcohol, this song helped me literally sober up. It's beautiful.
That is very inspiring
I agree Lisa, Ash is very inspiring
this song is helping me in recovery rn
Song: exists
Tiktok: *It's free real estate.*
Choc0late Beez please tell me people are actually enjoying the song and the people who made it

True
I saw one Tik Tok clip with this song, and well I died inside a little. Songs still great though
@Lex ? Honestly, everyone complaining about it should be appreciative that their "favorite hit song" is gaining the attention that it deserves. lmao they really upset that the song is becoming more well known and becoming even more of a hit.
I almost forgot to listen to this today
i can't even tell you how much i can relate to this
Same but I could not tolerate that happening because AJR is my favourite band.Also how could you almost forget I mean you're a real AJR fan I think I'm just a man listening to music
If that makes sense
Go cubs
*gasp* how dareth you
Listen to this song again
I’m leaving a comment here so In a month or year when someone likes it, I’ll get reminded of the song❤
this song helped me sober up
Not here from tiktok. Here from Costco because this is literally the song demo for every speaker.
Lol
Lol
i am not disappointed in costco. Praises
I don't hear this in my local Costco. I live almost around the corner for one.
I’m here from the ratio..finally found this song after almost two years🥺✊
Fun fact: if you didn’t already know this..AJR is actually made of 3 brothers. Also the meaning of this song, the song represents the numbness of growing up and the struggles along with wanting to know what it feels like to be young again.
How does it go again??
This is also why the video for "3'oclock things" features them wearing "TB3" shirts. It was what they went by while busking in the Washington Square Park area way back in the day.
when i was like 8 i didnt know what it meant, i looked up what sober meant and i thought it literally meant sober im listening to this again and i just realized
OH SHOOT THIS WAS LIKE 3 YEARS AGO I WASNT 8 NEVERMIND I FEEL MORE STUPID
@@hiiilolol It's pretty haunting. They have a knack for deep, meaningful songs that sound a lot like bubblegum pop. This song in particular is something I and many people I know can really relate to.
"growing up, it made me numb" that line hits hard
when you watch the music videos, you really understand what the song is really about. ❤

Wow! These kind of songs rarely appear, but when they do we're in for a treat. It's original, catchy, and even uses instruments not normally associated with alternative! Bravo AJR!
French Fan so true!!
Ikr it’s o good and catchy
French Fan alternative is mostly instrumental. It's alternative because it's incremental. That's just my 2 cents. Otherwise, yes rarely seen on the mass radio media.
French Fan use uke like twenty one pilots
The feel good song of the year!!
Every once in a while, we just need to hear something that let's us know that we're "ok". I've been struggling to remember this lately - this song helps me remember🙂.
I remember listening to ajr with my dad in the car. My dad sadly got arrested recently and every time I listen to this song it makes me wanna cry

Me looking back at my 3ds's friends list
On roblox I had this really nice friend, I miss her a lot. She was pretty much my online best friend. I ended up losing my old account, and her account changed a lot. I think she might’ve given it to someone else. But.. if you see this.. hey. It’s me. Awsomekittenslove.
I had made an online friend a while ago. She stopped making videos and completely cleaned out her channel. She stopped using Discord and other platforms, not responding to any messages or comments.
I doubt she’ll see this, but hey. You were my first online friend.
I had an online friend now he does not play anymore and we lost contact with each other
I celebrated 4 years sober recently, and AJR's music was a huge part in seeing how beautiful the world can be without self abuse. Please, keep up the good work.
4 years! Cool!

@@AJSantiesteban That's awesome man, I'm in the middle of my own struggle quitting my bad habits at the moment and it's comforting to hear that someone has overcome it and holds similar comfort in AJRs music as I do, you've given me hope to push on, thank you sir. Hope you're still well, best wishes homeboy.
@@theiconic3994 That made my entire afternoon... Keep up the good fight. Even 5 years later, I still struggle with the occasional trigger. But for me, it's how I handle that situation that makes the difference.

Im ashamed from everyone coming from tiktok... i remember listening to ajr on the radio every night at 6😭
I came from bang but after a while I forgot about ajr then I heard record player on the radio so I decided to listen to ajr again and I am addicted to ajr now and I am glad that I did
I am 2 years sober, and this makes me cry every time. I love my wife, who cared enough to help me feel something again.

@@lonecalzone6901 yea lmao but still reminds me of my friends

I listened to this song as a young teenager, coming right out of my preteens. Didn't know what life had in store for me, and listening to this song on the radio was great, but I didn't understand every bit of it. Six years later, and as a guy pretty close to his early twenties, I can echo the sentiments of this song: I don't know where I'm supposed to be, and I'm trying to search for the older parts of myself in order to feel young
Damn. I think others have already spoken but this song really relates to teens. None of the angst or anything but they fear of losing your childhood. Feeling as if you are abandoning everything you know for the scary and unknown world of adulthood. But its ok to grow up, just don't lose touch with your inner child, we all have friends that need it. So do you.
Why does AJR have only 970,000 subscribers when I hear them on the radio more than my mom yells at me
I never here them
Then I think that means you're mom is very chill, I never hear them on the radio
@@Snuffu i have heard weak on the radio, but that's all

Did you rlly hear their song on the radio?

Im 50...AJR is , or who ever writes their songs are telling my life story....Id really like to meet who that is. Telling me my life story with orchestra...The vibration and lyrics...I guess their are few of us. Personally I think they are genious.
Jack (I think that’s his name) is so symbiotic why he is chasing his younger reflection. It is really deep because as you grow up you only wanna get younger but you can’t. Your youth will always be running from you. Once you embrace that then you might finally find your true youth.
You made me cry, you earned my like
Wow so beautiful
*symbolic
Yeah I started chasing my youth at 29. When I realized I lost it lol. We all wish we could have are youth back with the knowledge we have now. What would the world be like if so? Youths with major knowledge like a 50 year old.lol that would be crazy
Haha, yeah that’s his name
Love this. Randomly found this band because of this song
The Vegetarian Baker You have to listen to every single song of them if you haven't yet!
Ay are you a vegetarian? I am
Listen to weak. I love that song
Same, I saw them sing it on GMM while Rhett and Link wore shock collars. I didn't even care what was happening, I was just enthralled with the song.
canyoutriplikeido same. Saw it on gmm
All this time, I've been hearing this band on radio channels and enjoying their songs without paying attention to who was doing them. Until today, when I started in a playlist, I didn't realize I like almost everything they do. Now going to have to go get the CD. Good band.

I wanna stay young tho
"All the big kids they got drunk" this line hit me very hard. I'm in middle school and I noticed how much everyone has changed. In elementary everyone was all about recess, drawing, making friends, but now everyone is vaping, dating, and cussing. Sometimes I just wish things were like old times
Lots of people change in middle school. It's hard to adapt. I found my middle school family in band
Keep and open mind and remember everyone is trying to find who they are and it'll be okay
Katelin Vandehey Thank you🥺
When i first was in middle school i hated a lot of things. It seemed like all of the people i called “friends” switched up on me. Its gonna be like this for the rest of your life as the world around us changes. Just know that you have to do whats best for yourself first, then others
Galaxy People try out every personality in middle school, including being jerks. By high school most people figure out how to be decent humans.
im in 7th grade, and i felt like no one was the same. we're all changing. theres nothing we can do to stop that. but we can keep pushing through it, and keep moving on. hope youre doing good, and just know that there are still others going through exactly what youre going through. at least, when it comes to middle school/junior high
I think this is supposed to be about getting in touch with your inner child, but I'm pretty darn sure this man just got kidnapped by the fae
This song was my introduction to the band. I just saw them in concert 2 days ago and I’m still high off excitement. They put on such a unique show!!
First day of freshmen year:
Me: *walks into class and sees its not the right class*
Me: 0:06

“We smile at party time..but soon we forget to smile at anything else..”
It’s hurts how much I relate to that....
i always hear begin, not forget
Well, I mean, theres no reason to smile outside of times when it is required. Empathy is what creates unsuccessful people. Friendships are valuable but they wont post you up in a multimillion dollar house in LA. Like, imagine thinking friendships are more valuable then a mansion and a Lamborghini when a human body is only valued at around 450,000 lmao

I get the weirdest thoughts listening to ajr.
I swear this just resonates with me I randomly found it and it's my new fav song
same
My boyfriend sent me this song saying it reminds him of me. Im crying after searching the meaning. My assumption to the meaning was pretty close, but essentially its about asking for help to sober up from the weight of becoming an adult. We are both carefree and happy with each other. He essentially told me that I take away the pressure associated with being an adult. That I make life easier. Which I feel the same way to him about. This song oficially makes me cry when I hear it, and I can hear him so vividly singing it to me on our call last night
thats so sweet
Awww thats so sweet! ❤
that was wholesome.
Not you making me tear up 😩 This is so wholesome
I wish I had a BF who is so good to me, most guys I meet are absolute jerks or emotionally abusive or both. Your a lucky girl. He’s a keeper.
I usually listen to older music. But when people start saying there is NO good music in our generation. I would like to say there are a few exceptions, i.e this song.

"My favorite color is you"
My favorite color is you
This song hits me hard.
The message i get is he is talking to himself when he was younger. Reminiscing about his youth and asking himself to help him sober up because as he grew up he saw how the world really was, cold and cruel and so he turned to alcoholism and partying to deal with it. He misses the innocence & bliss of childhood. Now that he's grown he turns to partying for "fun" because growing up made him numb and he wants that childlike happiness again.
I heard from a talk show that he wrote this song about seeing people who he hasn’t seen since childhood, on Facebook. I like your meaning better. I do hope mine is wrong.
Way to dig deep. I'm glad I'm not the only one that does that. I like your perception of this song too.
Aww thanks guys! 😊
Anytime lol
Idk i guess in my perception of the song & lyrics it feels like there's way more to it then just talking about people he hasn't seen in a long time.
i drove 3 hours to another state bc i thought they were giving a concert. turns out they were just opening up for another band. they played 5 songs and then left but it was 100% worth it
ukelleyle what band did they open up for?
I believe it was dashboard confessional
