Lyrics:
I used to hate all my dad’s outlaw country bands he’d play me when I was young,
cause they’d lie through their teeth about the lives they lead when all I wanted were honest songs,
but now they’re anthems in the van and we’re screaming them out on highway for good luck
in the bright blistering sun
Runnin’ toward the light
on the shoulder of a dream.
I’m singing in my sleep.
Runnin’ toward the light.
Stagger through the streets.
I sing it in my sleep.
Cream fights through the truck stop coffee here in quiet, purple dawn.
Last night we played another highway bar; for the first time they sang along.
Spray-paint a twenty up on the overpass, like a blood pact with the drifters we’ve become
in the soft, burgeoning sun.
This is for Rosa and Catherine and Mom and Dad.
This is for Robert and Jesse and Thunderbird staff.
I’m gonna make you proud of me.
I’m gonna make you proud of me.
I’m gonna make you proud of me.

I bet Diane is pretty upset for not being in the bridge part! Savage Aaron
Well, she should've gone to the funeral.
@@tree2243 or even tell him she was leaving instead to send her sister :/
"This is for Rosa, and Catherine, Mom and Dad.
This is for Robert, and Jessie, and the Thunderbird staff"
That brought the same tears that I got from "The Ocean Grew Hands to Hold Me" when he says "I've been running for a decade now and I think I'm ready to go." This album is going to be kickass.
Both incredible songs! Love it.
It's crazy how such a hopeful song can get me to tear up this much, I have become so attached to Aaron west and cannot wait for the next chapter of the story.
LOOK AT MY BOY NICK STEINBORN OWNING THE PERCUSSION
his doppelgänger looks like he's playing trombone
Looks like Aaron went and started him a band to get over the breakup. can't wait for the story to come full circle.
That band? The Wonder Years.
I would bet it has nothing to do with TWY, seeing this is "Aaron West and the Roaring twenties". Aarons never even heard of TWY. He just formed a bar band and travels the country in a van with some buddies.
not Runnin' Scared anymore, Runnin' Toward the Light, hopefully he found himself and happiness.
Eric Chandler exactly!! I noticed that and I LOVE IT!!
The legendary Ace Enders holding it down on the keys!!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I’m going to cry like a baby on May 10th. Incredibly stoked for this album!
Love the story. Should be a neat next chapter. You should check out our music, it's story telling like, like Aaron West. (:
I remember listening to "We Dont Have Eachother" the night it came out, it was a kick in the chest in the best way possible. I was so bummed that it was just going to be a one off thing and here we are for a pt2!! So damn excited!!
Ace Enders back in the back doing his thing and Soupy still repping Aaron West. Awesome
Almost had a cry moment with the proud lyric
Ace Enders with the assist!
Getting them Bruce Springsteen vibes. Lovin' it!
Why hasn’t this band picked up more views yet? Soupy is a lyrical genius. They need a better marketing staff.
Anthony Kranker dude I have been saying this since I first saw our apartment. Their Full length is seriously, no exaggeration, one of the top five greatest albums of all time! If not, the greatest work of art I have ever witnessed in my life.
I agree their marketing is bad. Soupy has seemed drawn to this bland “adult” look since TGG. Everything but the music is unappealing
i don't think they're trying to appeal to everyone anyway
Okay, now I have to go find one of the 20’s around the country..
There's a 20 stencil with the pre-order so you can put your own twenties all over your home town!
Update: the shot at 0:46 is in Corpus Christi TX. That same date The Wonder Years played the Bruster St Ice House.
I’m hoping for an Aaron West and the Roaring Twenties World Tour next year to kick off the new roaring ‘20’s!!!!
There's footage from the first time I saw them full band at zydeco in Birmingham AL here and that's so cool. I'm so excited for the album! Let's get ready for a good cry bois
How does this not even have 100k at 4 years old, such an amazing song
It still doesn't after over 5 years :(
Such an impressive song!!!! Has all the right vibes!
from pittsburgh listening to philadelphia radio for this.
Man, this is just amazing!
total TWY stan here that didn't get Aaron West most of the time for cultural reasons, but this here? this is just great, also great to see Nick here!
Im excited to be sad in may. I turn 21 and i think a sad album will do me justice
Sad songs is where it's at. haha. You should check out our music. It's story-like, like Aaron West. (:
@@lightsandlights6983 definitely will
Slamming that replay.
I'd love to see an Aaron West movie
*I'M GONNA MAKE YOU PROUD OF ME*
This song is so amazing in every way ❤
Dude looks like Soupy from The Wonder Years
Hm
Also looks like soupy 🤔
Wonder why lol
he also sounds a lot like soupy hmmmmmmmm
🤣
This band is a rabbit hole of the deepest depth
i cant wait for the whole album
YES! so excited for upcoming projects and songs. always down for this.
fuck yes. im so happy theres a new album
Born to run?!
Never heard of these guys but I love the sound
BookWyrm King not sure if you already have or not but you should check out The Wonder Years, AW&R20 is Dans more or less side project
@@fatherboots7714 I don't know them but I will look them up. (I have heard of he wonder years)
You'll love it. It's a fictional story Dan (the singer of the Wonder Years band) wrote and has been telling through music. The character of the story is named Aaron West, and their second album is coming out this May. They have an album, an EP, and a single already out that you may want to listen to so that you understand the story before listening to this upcoming album. (: You should also check out our music. czcams.com/video/2C-vcZ9HUYM/video.html
@@lightsandlights6983 that's pretty dope
@@lightsandlights6983 I will listen to those songs, thanksssss
It’s different but it’s so fucking amazing
I'm sure there's gonna be a lot more "positivity" in a way in this album. Should be really cool.
A Place To Be Personally if it continues the story I don’t care what style they choose.
can i cry yet?!
This is the fifth time i have listened to this song today.
I'm gonna say it what were all thinking.
This is going the be "the song" that changes things.
Fucking, beautiful.
I love the Aaron West story. You should look up our music, it tells a story like Aaron West's does. czcams.com/video/2C-vcZ9HUYM/video.html
My bb’s💘
This was so good I actually cried, with immediate goose bumps. Incredible as always, can't for for Routine Maintenance as a whole. 🌻🧡
Can't wait to hear the story continue. Our music is kind of similar, it is story-telling like. You should check us out. (:
Dan, that beard is looking fire.
MrCMread who’s dan, I only know aaron
He shaved it off for the queen performance so I think he is growing cleaner and more stylish.
This song just gives me another cord vibe from the hum goes on or another wonder years song and I can’t figure out what ahHHh when they sing the “running toward the light part” maybe your name or Laura and the beehive or ahHG
Incredible. Keep it up Soupy!
I've listened to "We Don't Have Each Other" + "Bittersweet EP" more than any other album tenfold.
If you ever read this, just know we all 'preciate chu.
Those country vibes!
This new music is everything I hoped it would be
YEESSSSS.
❤️
Yes
Waouh... that s great !
yes!!!!!
kinda bumming cuz i didn't know the Roaring 20's went through some heavy lineup changes, but this seasons group got some good vibes. lets play some ball!
Been waiting for this for so long.
Thank you Aaron West. I needed this.
It’s so much more upbeat but I love it so much
This ablum is gonna be incredible!! Stoked
The single cover is the backside of the boardwalk entrance to Asbury Park coming from Ocean Grove. Did I get that right? It looks familiar.
Thank you for this song 💙
Very good song. Congratulations!!!
Just stumbled onto this. DAY MADE!
Billy The Kid ah man I’m a massive wonder years feat and the roaring twenties last album I’ve listened to so many times! Haha I just had no idea they’d released anything new :)
I love country ska
Ace!
Love this song. In case anyone wondering the bridges in the beginning were
1. Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge New Haven CT
2. GW Bridge, New York
3. Benjamin Franklin Bridge, Philadelphia
4. I'm not sure.
Strait fire
Damn they've matured as a band
ÓTIMO"
who knew Ace Anders was playing with Soupy? Makes so much sense.
I unlike this just to give it another thumbs up like 15 times a day
✌️✊
괜찮구먼
Okay please tell me that I'm not the only one who didn't know that Nick played the drums
Millennial Bruce Springsteen
DJEpisteme better * Bruce Springsteen.
Hate to admit it but I really like this. Reminds me of Toad the Wet Sprocket and some of the best sounds form the 90s.
I’m in this video 😱😱😱
2:16 off to the left holding my jacket like an idiot
Lucky son-of-a-gun. (:
I'm lost... who's catherine? Who's Rosa? Am I going to have to relisten to the original album again to find who these extra characters are? I get who Robert is, the guy who bought the car. Jesse is the guy who sublet his original place, and mom/dad. But who are the rest? Is Rosa his baby?
I looked up the other song titles for the album, and there is one called "Rosa and Resida", so I'm sure we will find out who she is on the new album. Same probably goes for Catherine. Because neither of them are mentioned on any previous tracks before this album (Routine Maintenance).
where were the film scenes recorded? looks like PA, but i was just wondering if anyone knew specifically, thanks!?
The early parts with the bunny's billboard, and when they pass by gators bar and grill was filmed in California.

[Verse 1]
I used to hate all my dad's old outlaw country bands

'Coz they'd lie through their teeth about the lives they lead
When all I wanted were honest songs
But now they're anthems in the van
And we're screaming them out on the highway
For good luck
In the bright blistering sun
[Chorus]
Runnin' toward the light
On the shoulder of a dream
I'm singing in my sleep
Runnin' toward the light
I stagger through the streets
I sing it in my sleep
[Verse 2]
Cream fights through truck-stop coffee here in the quiet purple dawn
Last night we played another highway bar, for the first time they sang along
Spray paint a '20' up on the over pass
Like a blood pact for the drifters we've become
In the soft burgeoning sun
[Chorus]
Runnin' toward the light
On the shoulder of a dream
I'm singing in my sleep
Runnin' toward the light
I stagger through the streets
I sing it in my sleep
[Bridge]
This is for Rosa, and Catherine
And Mom and Dad
And this is for Robert, and Jesse
And the Thunderbird staff
I'm going to make you proud of me
I'm going to make you proud of me
I'm going to make you proud of me
[Chorus]
Runnin' toward the light
On the shoulder of a dream
I'm singing in my sleep
Runnin' toward the light
I stagger through the streets
I sing it in my sleep

Damn. So much for the emotional depth and realness of the first album. RIP TWY and Aaron West.
I'd like to hear you expound on this opinion.
@@lightsandlights6983 somebody clearly didn't hear the other single.
@@Terminado907 I loved "Just Sign the Papers"! I thought it was fun though how the bridge sounds a lot like the bridge to "I Don't Like Who I Was Then". Really good, emotional song regardless!
@@lightsandlights6983 Whoops, sorry friend! Was trying to reply to OP.
Wakanda Forever?
Oh Hey Bruce S.
Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run

Put the bottle down bruh
Running towards the light....... Is Aaron West going to kill himself? Or is he finally better? I need the album.
Chasity Couch I think at this moment he is happy and doesn’t care what happens next. Wether it be death or opportunity. He’s ready for whatever happens next.
no whammies
Dude why michael cera playing keyboard in this band
What's the 20 thing about?
The band is called the roaring 20s....
The have a 20 stencil with the pre-order so you can put the 20 up wherever
