      This music video, what a gem. I'm 31 now and I still remember jamming the fuck out to this on park. 2K soundtracks had incredible variety of artists back then I would've never heard of unless I played the games.

    I was still a teenager when this came out, loved it then and still love it now. Time flies kids, enjoy every moment as much as possible. Battling depression and anxiety is a lifelong struggle but know it gets better, you learn ways to cope. Music, dancing and singing along to your favorite songs are just a few great ways to do that. Processing trauma is hard work so give yourself permission to feel something other than pain or stress. You deserve to be happy. You get one life, fight for your right to love it and be happy. Sending love and healing to anyone here listening to this song and reading this comment. ❤️

    This song reminds me of the fall of 2011. I just graduated high school in June 2011 and this girl that I knew from high school went off to a college in southern minnesota and I stayed in Minneapolis. I remember sitting in my garage listening to this song and getting like oddly overly emotional about her lol 😂
    I went down to see her one weekend in September of 2011. We got drunk and she rejected me. I was so torn up about it but I moved on.
    Fast forward 3 years later she hits me up and on the first hang out we bang and it was awesome but we dated for two months and it was garbage.
    Classic. Its a stupid dumb memory and saga of memories in my life but its one for the books.
    Thanks for reading.

    Skeleton Boy"
    I close my eyes, on the dance floor
    And forget about you
    I lose myself in flashing colours
    I've gotta see it through
    You're too much,
    I take it that we're over
    Should we even care at all?
    You're too much, too much
    Let's shake hands and say good(bye)
    [X2]
    Your love is out
    But even despite it all
    Give me your hand
    Let's face this night and see it through
    Right by my feet, lay broken glasses
    You skeleton boy
    Sweat from the walls, drips on my shoulder
    I gotta see it through
    You're too much,
    I take it that we're over
    Should we even care at all?
    You're too much, too much
    Let's shake hands and say good(bye)
    Whoo, yeah
    Whoo, yeah
    Whoo, yeah
    [X5]
    Your love is out
    But even despite it all

    This is what I heard :)
    "You're not alone, I'll wait till the end of time
    Open your mind, surely it's plain to see
    You're not alone, I'll wait till the end of time for you
    Open your mind, surely there's time to be with me"

    I love how they be getting down when they turn into skeletons. Felt the groove all the way from here lol. This is definitely one of my favorite songs. Became obsessed after awhile when I first heard this song in 2K12. Hope it makes a comeback in 2K18 because this will never grow tiresome on the ears.

    This reminds my of the Saint Albans half marathon I did, 14 June 2009!. Knew these guys were from there. Great memories, now I'm back on the other side of the planet :(

    What an enormously underrated song. They’re the best ones though. Not the filth that’s shoved in everyone’s faces nowadays. Oh my gosh, did I get old?!
