my husband and i used to rock out to you guys in the car as we rubber tramped all over the states. Now he's dead and im gonna see you guys in Tinley Park and i'm going to rock out for him. Im gonna send it like it aint ever been sent before.
It's amazing how songs can change meaning for you after time and more experiences in life. Whenever I hear "You are still here, are still happy, you are still smiling and laughing..." I can't help but be crushed by the thoughts of my ex passing away over a year ago. That line used to just be about break ups to me. Now it can only ever be about when Alex passed away. Rock out for your husband. It's what we should do for them.
I totally feel you. I used to listen to this song when I first started dating my fiancé in 2013.... he passed away last summer, we have a daughter that wasn’t even 2 yet at the time. My heart goes out to you 💔 this song will forever make me nostalgic as FUCK for that time in our lives. Sorry for your loss, it’s a soul crushing pain for sure

i know i am late but it is still underrated by Brian and Mat and everyone else whilst this and funny you should ask were the songs that made me realise i am in love with this band
"you are still the only thing and everything i need in my life" why are these guys not more famous i wanna hear this on the radio late at night when no one wants to talk..
Forget that, when they blow up they're just gonna be like twenty one pilots (I don't like that band) they're gonna get a really crappy fanbase etc etc.
OMG you are so right they need to be more famous. They still are not that famous unfortunately. Guys can we please get them more famous let’s share this with all of our friends and family and whatnot
Can you imagine how lucky we are to live in the same time and space as The Front Bottoms? I've been a fan for a long time, and every song matters and is important. They're true artists.
Wow, 5 years have passed since my old friends were all in Highschool just partying & listening to this music. We’re all strangers to each other now. Time really just slips away.. I’m about to be 20 now and none of us really even talk anymore 😢
@@lukeburns533 Oh yeah a friend i've met in preschool visited me last weekend after more than seven years of not seeing each other at all and more than nine years of actually doing anything together but his mother is friends with mine. I mean we changed a lot but it was such a great afternoon regardless. You should definitely try it out, if you can!! =D
you know what i absolutely love about tfb is that they can take this very simple and personal narrative and then make it communicate a feeling that is so universal like how do they even do that
Ik people probably say stuff like this a lot and this will never be read but this band and their music has gotten me through a lot and honestly saved my life I could never be more thankful
Man, I feel freaking bad, don't have energy to anything including leaving my bed, and when I listen to this, I genuinely want to dance. And my heart is breaking at the same time. The lyrics, damn. This band saves me every single day.
orthophosphoric i hope everything’s okay for you now. maybe you’ve been able to sort some things out by now. i know i’m two years late to this comment but i’ve been in the exact same situation for what feels like the longest time, and i think it’s all starting to get better now. this song has also saved me more times than i can count. much love.
Yea man I liked a girl and she straight up said no I don't like you! And you it broke my heart and my friend went up to her and said shit to her and he's like my brother and I love him and I can relate to you man I was crying when she said that and when I hear this song it reminds me of that situation but tfb help get through a lot of things and I love them man
30,000 views??? that's it??? This art needs to known, heard, and appreciated!! Start posting their music everywhere, anywhere, play it in your goddamn car for the neighbors to hear for all I care. These guys seriously need the recognition they deserve, and the world is in desperate need of actual music again. SPREAD THIS!
Alex Mort it makes me feel like a shitball because I used to be into drugs and my boyfriend hated it and stayed beside me through all these years...this song puts me in his place and it feels so bad ):
Brian- We made a video for it… we had like eight hours to do it and finish, it was like the longest eight hours of my life….It was super super dangerous. Mat- The garage door is like fucking one hundred pounds and it springs down and it’s like super smokey and it’s pitch black and that’s the only door we could get out. So basically if that place went up in flames we probably all would have died cause none of use would have gotten out of there.
I can't believe I've been listening to these guys for 9 years now 😳 I found this while I was still in uni and it's amazing how they've always managed to put out music that feels relevant to my life as I grew. I love their new stuff but this will always hold a special place in my heart as the first song of theirs I ever heard 💚
what I love about the front bottoms is it feels like they're playing each song for YOU and they're playing their hearts out even though Brian can't sing they're trying for you and they become a friend
I’ve loved this band for a really long time and this song is always one I come back too when I’m sad or when I’m happy. This band is so good, I don’t want any other fandom to ruin it.
i dont know how they do it. "when i am sad, oh god i'm sad, but when i'm happy, i am happy, there's just no place in-between for us to meet". summarises my whole fucking life. how on EARTH is that possible. absolute masters of songwriting
Please fall asleep so I can take pictures of you And hang them in my room So, when I wake up, be like 'Yea, everything's alright' You are still here, you are still happy You are still smiling and laughing You are still the only thing and everything I need in my life And it goes in, in, out through the mouth Breathing exercises I will never figure out 'Til I am running in circles (I am) Or, walking in circles (I am) Or, crawling in circles (I) Or, lying on the ground And I can hear your dog whistle From my bedroom Yea, yea And I can see a flashlight cutting Up the trees behind my house Yea, yea Yea, yea, yea She says a lot of the kids we graduated with are now homeless Which puts them in mad shady situations with mad shady people If not everyday, then on an every-other-day basis And she's probably with a few of them right now And they are probably just drinking and talking about How she misses getting fucked up and hanging around And he says, "Hey you're good at that." And she says, "Thanks It's kind of all I got." And then she looks away and says, "It's also all I need." And I can smell plastic burning I can smell chemicals breaking down I got your last three e-mails, the ones where you said "I was sorting some things out" And he will be able to hear her dog whistle From his bedroom Yea, yea And I can see a flashlight cutting Up the trees behind my house Yea, yea And I will read the flashing like a morse code explanation That will mean nothing but take all night to figure out Out, out (Please fall asleep so I can take pictures) When I am sad, I am sad (Of you and hang them in my room) But when I am happy, oh, God, I'm happy (So, when I wake up, be like, 'Yea, everything's alright') And there's just no place in between for us to meet (You are still here, you are still happy) When I am sad, I am sad (You are still smiling and laughing) But when I am happy, oh, God, I'm happy (You are still the only thing and everything I need in my life) And there's just no place in between for us to meet When I am sad, oh, God I'm sad (And hang them in my room) But when I'm happy, I am happy (So, when I wake up, be like, 'Yea, everything's alright) And there's just no place in between for us to meet (You are still here, you are still happy) When I am sad, oh, God I'm sad (You are still smiling and laughing) But when I'm happy, I am happy (You are still the only thing and everything I need in my life) And there's just no place in between for us to meet (Sad)
"When I'm sad, I'm sad, but when I'm happy, oh god I'm happy and there´s just no place in between for us to meet". The most bpd quote on a song, ever, the song is super catchy and "happy" but that line always gets me and I shed a bit of tears.
2 years ago As the front bottoms played this song live, I danced and sang every single lyric because this is my all time favorite song by them. To my right i look and see this girl who i knew named Chloe, i hadnt have seen her for almost two years. She was dancing with me and singing every lyric as well. There was an electric force and i knew when i looked at her sweaty face that i was looking at a mirror of my soul. She drifted away into the crowd and i searched through the crowd for her, it was like we were magnetically pulling for eachother. Nothing else mattered No one mattered The only thing that mattered was finding her
This was the first Front Bottoms song I heard and it was when my best friend Moira performed it at the schools annual Variety Show and then again at the first ever Battle Of The Bands at my school. I fell in love with the lyrics so I searched the song up and fell in love with the band. Then I heard Twin Sized Mattress, Peach, Tattooed Hearts, and Wolfman from another best friend Wolf and ever since then they've been one of my favorite bands. They're so great all around :)
I’m a child. I am 14. But damn I’ve loved this band since 4th or 5th grade, but damn I’m a child, yet this band brings me so much comfort, the only thing I can find comfort in. This literally came out before I was adopted and I be vibing to it.
I always forget about this song.. Yet every time I come across it again, I'm reminded of better times. I'm thankful for accidentally stumbling upon it again today.
I've listened to you guys for the past 6 years. These songs genuinely changed my life so much, they got me through so much and I will forever be grateful for the affect you've had on me. Thank you.
Just saw them live earlier tonight! Holy shit, what an incredible performance. I literally turned to my friend as they walked off stage and said "aw they didn't play Flashlight or Twin Size Mattress." And then they come out for the encore to play both songs! I love this band!
Like a morse code explanation that will mean nothing, but take all night to figure out. I've always loved that line. I feel like it perfectly describes my own relationship w anxiety. (Which i always say is nothing but a waste of time)
I LOVE HOW AT 2:00 THEY SUBTLY WARP PLACES AND THEY BOTH DESPERATELY PLAY THEIR INSTRUMENTS BUT THEY HAVE SO MUCH FUN DOING IT AND I LOVE THEM THEY'RE SO CUTE AND THEY'RE MINE
The first time I heard this song I was bawling, it just sounds so genuine and pure. This just sounds like your speaking your heart about your ex or someone. I love this song and this band so much.
I think im going to cry from how much i fucking love music and people who are able to do THIS and make people feel something with their lyrics and their instruments and their charming faces, u bastards
I remember going to see them in concert back in college, over spring break. It was the first time I'd ever asked someone for an autograph. I still have that poster and this album, one of my favorites.
Wanted to share an idea and get your feedback. I am wondering if Flashlight and Twin Size Mattress may be telling different parts of the same story-in particular, the story of a friendship disintegrating under the weight of drug addiction. Claim one: Flashlight is about meth addiction. Main pieces of evidence are the lines, “it goes in, in, out through the mouth / breathing exercises I will never figure out”. Of course this could literally refer to breathing exercises to deal with e.g. anxiety, but in particular the mention of it going in makes it sound more like smoking something. And if it were just about smoking weed, I don’t think that’s something TFB “will never figure out”. Second: the reference to a dog whistle. Again, maybe just a metaphor for the narrator being at the addressee’s beck and call, but also don’t meth pipes look quite a bit like dog whistles? Third: plastic burning. Again, I am no expert, but I think this is a fairly common description of the smell of meth smoke? Claim two: Twin Size Mattress is about a friendship that has already been torn apart by drug addiction. “There’s an amount to take, reasons to take more” certainly sounds like it’s talking about substance abuse. And the verse about the addressee being sent away, and then escaping, could be about rehab. Obviously this is all quite circumstantial
id say the dog whistle part is def a long shot by far but the rest is reasonable. the genius article says this: Flashlight is a song about being in love with someone who has a serious problem with addiction, seemingly meth. The more recent “Twin Size Mattress” describes a similar situation, and may be about the same person.
This song holds bad memories but at the same time, some good memories. I think of peace tea, summer sunsets, aimlessly walking around, and beanies. It's weird but a certain person introduced me to TFB. We've had a rocky relationship for about four years now. This was the song that would make me happy because I thought of him. Now it's hard to feel happy.
This guy I'm in love with introduced me to The Front Bottoms as well as my best friend who died Aug. 2020. Whenever I miss them, I listen to the front bottoms

A song that used to make me very happy and now I feel sad every time I listen to it
Still love it as much as I ever did
When you are sad, you are sad. And when you are happy, oh boy you are happy. 😜
Saaame tho
I relate to this very deeply
Same..nostalgia :/

I can't sing this song without that like choking feeling you get when you're about to cry. Such feels.
First time listening to this band and this song feels like a punch to the chest

Have none of you been punch in the chest?
"I've got an idea for a music video,

And torches that could possibly kill us
listen to this while it's raining and it's cold and you're in bed and you're sleepy and you're sad, it's beautiful.
Thank you for this
How in the world has it been 10 years already. Time really does pass us by so quickly.
Its an amazing thing when you find a band that you can listen to on repeat.
the front bottoms have the best lyrics something about them is just so honest and real. very powerful
I love how the lighting changes throughout the video, from a gaslight to a flashlight to glow sticks to candles.
i'm really new to this band but oh.my.god. i think they're my new favorite
Buuuuuuuuugs
tearing up what?
+George Costanza I'm pretty sure they meant tearing up like tears, like crying. Not ripping something up.
+Chris Overland It's an inherently depressing song about the end of a relationship.
+Sarah Martin lol
Yea man I liked a girl and she straight up said no I don't like you! And you it broke my heart and my friend went up to her and said shit to her and he's like my brother and I love him and I can relate to you man I was crying when she said that and when I hear this song it reminds me of that situation but tfb help get through a lot of things and I love them man

"puts them in mad shady situations with mad shady people" - I knew they were from the mid-Atlantic region the second I heard that lingo.
yeah, thank God mad shady situations and people don't exist literally anywhere else lmao
"when I am sad, I am sad - but when I'm happy, oh god I am happy"
2 years ago As the front bottoms played this song live, I danced and sang every single lyric because this is my all time favorite song by them. To my right i look and see this girl who i knew named Chloe, i hadnt have seen her for almost two years. She was dancing with me and singing every lyric as well. There was an electric force and i knew when i looked at her sweaty face that i was looking at a mirror of my soul. She drifted away into the crowd and i searched through the crowd for her, it was like we were magnetically pulling for eachother. Nothing else mattered
No one mattered
The only thing that mattered was finding her
So random yet carefully harmonized, such a delightful sounding, my ears are glad you gave them this.
if my spirit animal could be a song, it would be this
i think its considered a spirit song
Oh yeah definitely, thank you!
This was the first Front Bottoms song I heard and it was when my best friend Moira performed it at the schools annual Variety Show and then again at the first ever Battle Of The Bands at my school. I fell in love with the lyrics so I searched the song up and fell in love with the band. Then I heard Twin Sized Mattress, Peach, Tattooed Hearts, and Wolfman from another best friend Wolf and ever since then they've been one of my favorite bands. They're so great all around :)
i can listen to their music all night
" When I am sad , I am so sad but when I am happy boy am I happy. There's just no place in between for us to be" . These lyrics hit hard.
I’m a child. I am 14. But damn I’ve loved this band since 4th or 5th grade, but damn I’m a child, yet this band brings me so much comfort, the only thing I can find comfort in. This literally came out before I was adopted and I be vibing to it.
This song has gotten me through a lot of tough times in life and has never stopped following me. Thank you Front Bottoms
I personally have a burning passion for this band, I don't know about you guys...
so many years later, this is everything to me, you guys are everything to me. this is everything. thank you
I can't get enough of this song.
I dont think I Can ever listen to this song again without tearing up, I'm gonna miss you emerald eyes.
I miss you angel... Everytime I hear this song I think of the beginning... I miss you even tho I shouldn't... I love you so much...
I always forget about this song.. Yet every time I come across it again, I'm reminded of better times. I'm thankful for accidentally stumbling upon it again today.
I've listened to you guys for the past 6 years. These songs genuinely changed my life so much, they got me through so much and I will forever be grateful for the affect you've had on me. Thank you.
Dammmmmnnnn still breaks me... after all these years, they still break me like this.
Been playing this song all night~
First heard this song three years ago and it’s still my favourite. I always find myself coming back to it
i don't know how many times i've watched this video but it makes me tear up every damn time i do
One of my all time favorite songs for sure. Recent front bottoms stuff is great, but smth about the music on the first few albums just HITS
this band saved my life
Just saw them live earlier tonight! Holy shit, what an incredible performance. I literally turned to my friend as they walked off stage and said "aw they didn't play Flashlight or Twin Size Mattress." And then they come out for the encore to play both songs! I love this band!
my keyboard's like my heart, it shines in RGB and it's full of blood...
Looking back on this old music video brings back all the memories! And oh lord little Brian!
Like a morse code explanation that will mean nothing, but take all night to figure out.
I've always loved that line.
I feel like it perfectly describes my own relationship w anxiety. (Which i always say is nothing but a waste of time)
This song really makes me feel nostalgia for things I never did or experienced.
hell yeah I love listening to this song and remembering being content with my life and the people around me : )
I LOVE HOW AT 2:00 THEY SUBTLY WARP PLACES AND THEY BOTH DESPERATELY PLAY THEIR INSTRUMENTS BUT THEY HAVE SO MUCH FUN DOING IT AND I LOVE THEM THEY'RE SO CUTE AND THEY'RE MINE
Effectator I really hope so. They're one of my all-time favorite songs
dude i love them
Effectator ditto
I cant get enough of The Front Bottoms. I especially love this song!!!! ♥
These guys blew up! Wow so popular now. I remember them 12 years ago
does everyone here have a special someone they think about while listening to this song.i know I do 😞
yeah, and it fucking sucks
Irena Jelenko yeah and shes a fucking bitch
Yeah, and it kills me every time
I hope she's happy I really do but man I feel so sad.
Im gay and feel nothing
The first time I heard this song I was bawling, it just sounds so genuine and pure. This just sounds like your speaking your heart about your ex or someone. I love this song and this band so much.
Welp, I may have found this song 7 and a half years late but I still absolutely love it
Saw them tonight, never listened to them before, and I fell in love.
This band is so underrated what the heck man
They have always had my back thank you Brian
I think im going to cry from how much i fucking love music and people who are able to do THIS and make people feel something with their lyrics and their instruments and their charming faces, u bastards
I'm in love with their drummer
They're leading for blink-182 in Atlantic City soon!!!
Phil Gong the one in april? because i might be going to that one
I've listened to this song about 4 times in the last 24 hours...it doesn't get old. I love this band so much.
Those drums do things to my body.
Song doesn't get old to me. I love the way it sounds and I love the way it makes me feel. 🎶🎶
Loving the trumept playing
I remember going to see them in concert back in college, over spring break. It was the first time I'd ever asked someone for an autograph. I still have that poster and this album, one of my favorites.
Wanted to share an idea and get your feedback. I am wondering if Flashlight and Twin Size Mattress may be telling different parts of the same story-in particular, the story of a friendship disintegrating under the weight of drug addiction.
Claim one: Flashlight is about meth addiction. Main pieces of evidence are the lines, “it goes in, in, out through the mouth / breathing exercises I will never figure out”. Of course this could literally refer to breathing exercises to deal with e.g. anxiety, but in particular the mention of it going in makes it sound more like smoking something. And if it were just about smoking weed, I don’t think that’s something TFB “will never figure out”. Second: the reference to a dog whistle. Again, maybe just a metaphor for the narrator being at the addressee’s beck and call, but also don’t meth pipes look quite a bit like dog whistles? Third: plastic burning. Again, I am no expert, but I think this is a fairly common description of the smell of meth smoke?
Claim two: Twin Size Mattress is about a friendship that has already been torn apart by drug addiction. “There’s an amount to take, reasons to take more” certainly sounds like it’s talking about substance abuse. And the verse about the addressee being sent away, and then escaping, could be about rehab. Obviously this is all quite circumstantial
Bro that’s big brain as hell
thanks
id say the dog whistle part is def a long shot by far but the rest is reasonable. the genius article says this: Flashlight is a song about being in love with someone who has a serious problem with addiction, seemingly meth.
The more recent “Twin Size Mattress” describes a similar situation, and may be about the same person.

the end makes me cry
This song holds bad memories but at the same time, some good memories. I think of peace tea, summer sunsets, aimlessly walking around, and beanies. It's weird but a certain person introduced me to TFB. We've had a rocky relationship for about four years now. This was the song that would make me happy because I thought of him. Now it's hard to feel happy.
This was a good time for Brian tbh
all times are a good time, beautiful man
Brian "I Dont Smoke Weed" Sella
This guy I'm in love with introduced me to The Front Bottoms as well as my best friend who died Aug. 2020. Whenever I miss them, I listen to the front bottoms
