For those of you revisiting the glory days, welcome back. It's been a while.
Idk bout you but I never left. Lol

Hello bud.
Went on a nostalgia trip this morning... definitely been a while for me
Yeah i know. What u feel
Just wanna say I hope all you 25 year olds are okay and whatever has brought you on this emo journey back in time with me, you got through it when you were a kid, you’ll get through it now 🖤
I'm 31. You must have started SUPER young with 6 years difference.
@@infiniteaaron I'm 19, though that doesn't really matter lol. To this day, I still appreciate my friend who brought me this band years ago!
Im 26 and proud of us! 🖤
Did you just call ADTR Emo ??? *Triggered* but thanks anyways 😂❤
Here with 26 now 🤩🤩😎
To my old high school friend Justin. I know how much you loved this band. It was pretty obvious given the ADTR tattoo on your arm lol. The memories we had growing up were hysterically awesome and I wouldn’t trade them for the world. The last time we saw each other was Warped Tour 2011. We tailgated, got a little drunk, saw some awesome bands, including ADTR 😁, and you brought along a girl you’d eventually end up marrying and having the most adorable son with. It aches me to know you lost your battle with Synovial Sarcoma the day after Christmas but please know I will carry these memories into this new year, the year after and forever on with pride and love. Rest easy my friend!
Hey scott i hope you know your homie would love seeing this because it makes me feel like if i was him and saw this i would thank you and appreciate you for it. Thanks Scott!! Appreciate your comment
I don't even know any of you guys, and I'm in the other end of the continent, but reading those words while listening to this song made me cry so bad. Kudos to you Scott, and godspeed you Justin.
its not like he will hear u in the comment section
Feel bad for your lost but he has a great life and also a great friend
Thanks for making me cry more on a song that already makes me cry c':
Rest easy Justin and keep on rocking!
38 year old here having a post-punk renaissance, still love this song after all these years.
Me too dog...blaren just to remind myself WHY the Fuck I'm doing all this
same got a vodka in hand , just trying to get threw brother!
You mean this is post- punk?
Post hardcore!!! I'm 38 too, miss the old days! Crowd surfing at an Underoath concert!!
@@rnrhmam hmmm I don't get too caught up in genre labels but I always think of the late 70s/80s bands like Joy Divison and the late 90s/2000s screamo stuff as different versions of "post-punk".
A Day to remember will always have a piece of my heart. Don't know why.
Wow.. i'm not the only one then xD
Because , you have something you can relate too c: I relate to alot of music tho so thats cool to find other people that can relate to the same stuff i've been through.
It's ok I have Flyleaf and ADTR lyrics tatted on me
Ly loo juju illustrations and h uhh rollout the July of my friends is not anpll"loo yesterday I don't want uou to iiypyn Bhutan j'm b mbps. . U p
When they sing they sing about me
THIS WILL ALWAYS BE ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS
Same here. Just saying. ☺️
Same
Same.
can't argue with that man
Same I've Been listening to this song since 4th grade
I met a girl last winter, and though i didn't want to. Before i knew it i had already fallen hard for her. I rejoiced when she said that felt the same. But along the way, i made some stupid mistakes that i can never take back. But i loved her too much, and i went all in the correct all my wrongs. She was hurt, but she told me that she made some mistakes too. We loved each so much i knew there was no way in hell i was going to give up on us. One day i went to her house and played this song from my car i told her to have faith in me and she did. Next year we're getting married. This song will always be special to me
I'm in the exact same position, lost someone I love so much and tried everything to right my wrongs to her
I'm happy for you!! Have a good life with your girl and be always by her side. :)
Hey man seeing your comment just gave me the boost I needed to not give on my my girl we are in some bad times right now with the virus not helping matters but seeing your comment gave me hope that maybe this could work out 🙏
Goodluck man! And congratulations! 💕
Well done my dude.
Don't ask who's still listening in 2020 because *we have never left*
🖤🖤
Real talk
Maybe in 2021
And we will never leave
Exacly
No matter the mood, this song is always a breaker for me, even when I'm alright. One of the most meaningful and at the same time powerful songs ever.
same except the song "all i want" has more of a meaning for me
Kevin Herrera fuckin L you're right
Kevin Herrera agreed.
Kevin Herrera I always sob everytime I hear this song.. every single time.
I feel you man guy. I feel the same about this song!
seriously wish i had the talent to sing and play instruments like this but for now ill just rock the air guitar
I actually like this song
We are one person. Haha
Invest in an acoustic one its a lot of fun..
If you invest the time and effort into doing things like this, you can be just as good.
Practice my friend, practice.
It’s so crazy how when I was 17 they helped me through so much. I’m 25 now and need them again. My heroes ❤️
Happy birthday
Now i'm 25😅
This band will carry me thru life, even after 30 they will make me feel 16 everytime. Got me thru some rough shit and helped me realize theres a brighter side to the light
As a whitechapel fan I've got to say i fucking love this band. One of the only bands that can pull off such lifting riffs and lyrics, matched with some of the best breakdowns and heavy\groovy sounds. They're one of the few bands with clean vocals ill gladly listen to any day and everyday.
White chapel- this is exile my fav song by white chapel
shadowrainbow97 its an amazing track. My personal fav is messiahbolical. i feel like its too underrated. but its soooo good.
issues is pretty groovayy. imo :) and yeah ADTR is def a badass band man. and i usually listen to a lot heavier shit. whitechapel attila miw etc etc :P
Nathan Ezra I've never listened to them. Ill have to check them out. Any song suggestions?
the settlement - stingray affliction - princeton ave - idk man just listen to the black diamonds EP and the issues self titled album issues. i honestly like them all. have some favs ofc but yeah. or if you dont like that but you think you might and you are confused? listen to woe is me - number[s] album (not the reissue) with tyler carter and michael bohn (current issues vocalists) as the vocalists :) was a tad bit heavier. less groovy.
A day to remember got me though highschool and through tough moments. This band is truly amazing till this day. There songs have such great meaning that anyone can relate to. Here Iam, out of college still finding myself relating and getting chills from this band!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
i fucking know right. i seriously love this band and i used to look up to then in high school. i will forever love this band and all the bad times it got me through ❤

True I'm 25 and I still do this song got me through alot
Ew, Dancing? Are you sure you're not gay??
I listen to this when I am sad or need motivation, it's all good.
Im 25 and samee
I'm 30 and listened to this song when it first came out when I was in High School. It always was a great lifting song during gym time.
This song holds a special place in my heart when I was an angsty teenager in High School. Now I’m a 30 year old who works in an office…time flies!!
It's amazing how I close my eyes listening to this song and feel like a 16 year old teenager again.
thought i was the only one!
Damn and then theres me an actual 16 year old
me listening to this at 15 lmao

Yessss and they are from my home town! Heard "City of Ocala?" It's a proud moment for the natives.

At the gym 5x a week. haha
My wife and I chose this as our entrance song for the reception, this song brings good vibes. Love it
I still remember jamming to these guys my junior/senior high school years. I remember playing NJ legion iced tea on my parents front porch with my buddy talking about how this is our last year in high school. We talked about how much better it'll be once we leave high school behind. Now I'd give almost anything to go spend a day in that time. The days looked, smelled, and felt different back then. A Day To Remember, Paramore, Three Days Grace, Linkin Park, they all filled my Ipod touch. It sucks we can't go back, but those days will always live on through us. I'm happy I'm not the only one that hears this and starts to reminisce about the early 2010's. I love all you crazy bastards, keep your heads up and I'll meet you all back here in a few years when we all decide to reflect again.
Who else fell in love within the first 15 seconds 😍
All I can say is GREAT memories come to me when I listen to this album. Came out the end of my senior year in high school in 2009. This album will always hold a special place in my heart.
+Bryan H. That is definitely a great moment in time to have this song go with. This song to me is really for transitioning chapters in your life, like a new beginning is coming and everything is going to be ok.
TheMixtureGaming Yea man it's almost bittersweet in a way for me. I was lucky to have a very tight and big group of friends that consisted of about 15 of us. We called ourselves the HOA (Home Owner's Association lol) and all of us always hung out and we were very close when this came out. Now 7 years later life has separated a lot of us and there's only around 5 of us that hang out a lot and listening to this album reminds me of a great time in my life that I miss a lot.
I graduate next year and this song makes me think of where all of my friends and I will go after high school.
TheMixtureGaming Hate to tell you this but everything is going to change man. Especially once everyone is done with college. People will start moving away, getting married and having kids and friends slowly start separating. It sucks, but that's just how life is. I had a great time in high school, but college was even better honestly, especially the first two years. My freshman and sophomore years in college were two of the best years of my life so far. Grew up a lot, but had a ton of fun. A lot of crazy memories were made and I often miss those times. I'm happy I've got those kinds of memories though because a lot of people don't.
+Bryan H. are you still in contact with your best friends?
Who’s still listening to this in 2021❣️✨
Meee :)
2024 anyone? I miss my high school years it's crazy how time flys!!! I hope all of y'all are still listening
hi user
im 2024
Such an old song, yet still one of the best.
Always. I could listen to it indefinitely
My little sister was born the same year as this song, it's not old.
this isn't old lol...still fresh
Seeing these guys in 2 days with blink-182 and could not be more excited
How was it?
Dude they were amazing at my concert I swear so fucking good. Vocals on point.
i saw then last night and it was literally the best night of my life
i saw. adtr & blink 182 on july 30th and it was the best night of my life, cause this year been so shitty for me
Hey there stranger, here's hoping that this year upcoming shapes up to be one only much more favorable, fortunate, & prosperous for ya than the last. This year just passed was all sorts of rough for myself as well, but I'm still confident that, God willing, I'll turn that train back around and not let any of these road blocks derail me much longer. Even without knowing you, I'm positive that you too will go on to do the same if not even better. So wishing ya a most blessed & happy new year Dawg; this year we'll all keep faith in each other and most importantly have faith in ourselves. :-)
My best friend Kristen passed away in 2015 and this was “our song”. Can’t listen to it without thinking of her.
it'll always be there as well
She'll always be in your heart and by your side. Always remember that. ❤
I saw a comment saying "who still listens to this in 2017" and it said 4 years ago like damm time goes by too fast
9 months went by since I last saw the comment.
Thank you Caraphernelia by Pierce the Veil for featuring Jeremy in that song... I have now discovered this band.
Sincerely, a lot of PTV fans including me and Maggie.
John P. Yass
Maggie Gordon Pierce the Veil is great but I'd tend to think that finding A Day to Remember would be easier to find than Pierce the Veil. ADTR has been successful way longer the PTV, they probably have as many views on their best hits, if not more, than PTV, and they've been in way more festivals than PTV has. I'm not hating on PTV but I found PTV after ADTR.
Maggie Gordon which song?
aarwonable cheez Well when i first discovered the genre, it was because of my friend. The first post-hardcore song she told me to listen to was King For A Day ft. Kellin Quinn by Pierce the Veil. That is how I discovered PTV. Then listening to more of their music, Caraphernelia led me here so..
No one cares when you're watching :). Just watch it, and enjoy.
Preach it
+WhenImGone agreed
I love how the comment right below this one is exactly the kind you are talking about XD

This has always been one of my favorite songs and it will always stay that way!
Seen ADTR multiple times when I was in high school. Those were the best days of my life, I will always love them ❤️
Kiti Ozoku I love adtr, wish I could have seen they
This song will always be in my heart. It makes me so happy...This band has always been there for me when I go through a difficult time.
This was the last song I listened to with my friend before he went missing in 2016. It never fails to bring me to tears
"I said I'd never let you go and I never did"
I remember when she got tattooed “Have faith in me...” I always knew I’d never forget her.
I can't read the comments bc my screen is wet from all y'all's crying.
Aye Bernie lmaoooooo
I'm not crying. You're crying.

A day to remember helps me face my hardships and issues with determination. These guys have rocked my life since I first heard them so many months ago and I can't thank them enough for helping me pull through college.
This band is fucking awesome.

This was the first song I ever learned on bass back in 2008 and now listening to this song in 2020 all I can do is reflect back on how amazing this song was to me
""who's still listening in 2019?"" ...F*** that, who's been slaying it to ADTR since 2009!?!?

Never heard of them till 2019....
Yo word ta birds day shit is fresh
U know what f**ck you bro

Have faith in me
'Cause there are things that I've seen I don't believe
So cling to what you know and never let go
You should know things aren't always what they seem
I said I'd never let you go, and I never did
I said I'd never let you fall and I always meant it
If you didn't have this chance then I never did
You'll always find me right there, again
I'm going crazy
'Cause there are things in the streets I don't believe
So we'll pretend it's alright and stay in for the night
What a world
I'll keep you safe here with me
I said I'd never let you go, and I never did
I said I'd never let you fall and I always meant it
If you didn't have this chance then I never did
You'll always find me right there, again
I said I'd never let you go, and I never did
I said I'd never let you fall and I always meant it
If you didn't have this chance then I never did
You'll always find me right there, again
They've got me on the outside, looking in
But I can't see at all
With the weight of the world on my shoulders,
They just wanna see me fall
They've got me on the outside, looking in
But I can't see at all
With the weight of the world on my shoulders,
They just wanna see me fall
Have faith in me

I said I'd never let you fall and I always meant it
If you didn't have this chance then I never did

If you didn't have this chance then I never did

This was mine and my ex’s song. He was 17 and I was 16, this song will always remind me of my first love. Here I am now, 23 and with an amazing guy that I hope to marry some day, but when I hear this song I cannot help but smile and think about my first love that I will cherish forever.
MAJOR SKILLET VIBE FROM THIS SONG, IF U DONT KNOW WHO SKILLET GOOGLE THEM LISTEN TO EM AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND.
A Day to Remember sounds absolutely nothing like Skillet, and they are much more talented and heavy. So shut the hell up cuz you have no idea what you're talking bout
SlipKnoT x MFKR
Both bands are very talented, but I do agree, ADTR is heavier....
SlipKnoT x MFKR haha props man :,) shit down!
SlipKnoT x MFKR Calm the fuck down, it was a passing comment on one of there songs, i wasn't saying this band sounds like skillet i was saying the song read the comment be four you type some dumb comment ,my comment was an opinion. lots of bands sound like each other, i also get a sort of blink 182 vibe from this band on some songs and yeah they are heavier but my comment didn't reference that so stfu.
TerrinPS before***
Everytime I hear the beginning I think of blink 182
Me too! I figured it's because the start sounds similar to Anthem Part Two.
Same
Anthem part 2
Blink one hundred and eighty two...
Yep, those are exactly the same notes on the anthem part 2 intro, just a bit diferent rythim
Music nowadays will never compare to the music back then ❤
When this song came on during the concert, i sang word for word as it is etched into my soul
I listen to this at work and on road trips. I wonder do they ever go back and listen to their old songs and think back..
Anyone else still listening in 2019?
Rashonda Ross they play their old songs live to this day
sure they do, have you never listened to common courtesy all the way through?
yooooo coming back to an old song.

Whether I'm feeling down or not, I always come back to this song. Its gotten me thru soooo many rough times I can't even recall. This is my fav band and fav song, ADTR never disappoints.
Went from middle school singing this with my crush to singing this to my kid
Eight years later, this song and album still haven't aged a bit. With everything I went through in high school, this was easily the most important band I ever discovered. I remember doing a project in my media class where we had to make a music video on any song of our choice. Have Faith In Me was simply the obvious pick for me.
My boyfriend just told me these words at the beginning.... I'm in tears
:45-:50
He doesn't listen to newer rock.... He said these words without realizing the meaning
Mini CC Coma wat does it mean then??
Arrow Fireheart He knew I listened to new rock and he knew I didn't trust guys but some how he knew the lyrics to one of my favorite songs
We can be so sweet with things like this. But some use tricks like these to make fall in love of them and use you
This was my best friend’s favorite song back in the day. We went to a strict high school in the south of the US, he and I were the only ones in the school who liked punk and metal, so we were weird to everybody else but we didn’t care. We started a band together after high school and were roommates for a while. Unfortunately he took his own life about 10 years ago. I never liked this song that much but he friggin loved it and played it all the time. For some reason this popped on my YT feed today and I listened to it for the first time since he died. When the chorus hit I lost it. I’m in tears right now. So many memories. I miss my friend
I'm looking up all the songs I used to listen to when I was 14.
The beginning sounds like a song from blink 182.
+dannydsi3d yeah Anthem Part 2
+dannydsi3d Evidently they called it a tribute to Blink-182, so it makes sense.
I love Blink 182!

Have faith in me
'Cause there are things that I've seen I don't believe
So, cling to what you know and never let go
You should know things aren't always what they seem

You'll always find me right there, again
[Verse 2]
I'm going crazy
'Cause there are things in the streets I don't believe
So, we'll pretend it's alright (Pretend it's alright)
And stay in for the night
Oh, what a world, I'll keep you safe here with me (With me)

I said I'd never let you go, and I never did
I said I'd never let you fall, and I always meant it
If you didn't have this chance, then I never did
You'll always find me right there, again
I said I'd never let you go, and I never did
I said I'd never let you fall, and I always meant it
If you didn't have this chance, then I never did
You'll always find me right there, again
[Bridge]
They've got me on the outside looking in
But I can't see at all
With the weight of the world on my shoulders
They just wanna see me fall
They've got me on the outside looking in
But I can't see at all
With the weight of the world on my shoulders
They just wanna see me fall
Have faith in me
[Chorus]
I said I'd never let you go, and I never did
I said I'd never let you fall, and I always meant it
If you didn't have this chance, then I never did
You'll always find me right there, again
I said I'd never let you go (Go), and I never did (Did)
I said I'd never let you fall (Fall) and I always meant it (Meant it)
If you didn't have this chance, then I never did
You'll always find me right there, again
[Outro]
I said I'd never let you go, and I never did
I said I'd never let you go, and I never did
I said I'd never let you go, and I never did
I said I'd never let you go, and I never did

I like how they change the tempo up in the middle of the song.
It's consistently 150bpm
@@nathancairns1358 you're right but at 1:50 it sounds like a totally different song
I just can't listen to this song without thinking about my ex
Awww poor baby, need a hug?
Aaron Carnes Don't be a twat.
Jack Duggan I can't either
I know the feeling of having a song that is a constant reminder of someone who treated you wrong. This song is much better than they are and they missed a good opportunity with you. I'm guessing you're pretty cool since you enjoy this music so yea haha. c:
Aleah Hey ive been over her shes nothing to me now and your right
Yay good to hear c:
I want y’all to think about this song in a TOTALLY different way. One year ago I befriended a prisoner whose friendship changed MY life for the better. Our letters and talks have helped me grow in a way I never knew I needed. After reading thousands of letters from my volunteer work, his words grabbed my heart and never let go… and I’ve been a faithful friend to him this entire time. Please take a moment to read my life changing story, and maybe you’ll use this song in a whole new way someday-the way I have. I am speaking as a person with experience as a survivor. I have survived some of the most heinous crimes you can even imagine in your mind. The last assault that happened to me was when I was 29 (it was completely random). I am now 37. So I’ve experienced VICIOUS abuse since infancy to age 29 (almost 3 decades of violence). So please keep that in mind as you read this. “Grace is not earned-it is FREELY GIVEN!”
I randomly stumbled upon prisoner activism 2 years ago after seeing a documentary about a man who was never loved and never given a chance in this world (different person from my personal friend of 1 year). The man in the doc ran away at 12 years old and started hanging out with druggies and doing petty crime. His rap sheet stacked up and whilst before an adult court at the age of 16, they chose to throw the book at him and gave him 10 years mandatory in an adult prison for his various crimes. Can you imagine going through puberty and just trying to grow up when you have absolutely NO ONE who loves you and you’re in the most hostile environment in the country? OF COURSE he got angrier, more violent! SSo his crimes stacked up even more in prison. They began keeping him in solitary and it made him angrier. Every time they took away his privileges-HIS HUMANITY-it was all fuel to the flame. Twenty years later, he’s setting a record for being in solitary confinement THE ENTIRE TIME. So finally he devised a plan in his underdeveloped and damaged mind to kyll someone in order to get onto death row. Because in that Prison, going from CM1 to The Row is like “going from the slums of India to Beverly Hills CA.” So, he murders his bunkie and is immediately taken out of CM1. He FIGHTS FOR HIS RIGHT TO DIE and is finally put into Death Row. He used the system that destroyed him to gain some semblance of his humanity back. Then, just one year into his time on The Row, he’s contacted by a distant cousin who shows him love and compassion. He’s a Christian family man and him, his wife, and his 3 little children all become invested into the man. They show him the love he’s never had in this world. This is a man who doesn’t know what it’s like to hold a job, to hold a baby in your arms, to hold the hand of a loving woman… his world couldn’t be more different than ours. But suddenly, now he had a family who loved him. And guess what happened? He stopped committing crimes, stopped getting into trouble. He didn’t want to lose time and visitation with the family he now had. He said, “I can’t tell you what it feels like to have people care about you.” Notice he didn’t say “people THAT care about you.” The man is saying not only has he never had loving people in his life… he’s never known what it feels like to be cared about AT ALL.
So, why did this story send me into the path of prisoner activism? Because I, too, ran away when I was a couple years older than him at 14 to escape the abuse I was suffering at home. My dad died when I was 7 and after that, no one gave a single shyt about me and I was beaten everyfknday. I ended up in the clutches of bad men and became a s3x sl@ve. I was forced to do drugs, run drugs, I was put into a dog cage, burned, forced into an underground s3x scene, and all this INSANE stuff you never hear about in your everyday life. I almost got arrested 2 times but gained compassion from the cops (my appearance had EVERYTHING to do with that). I’ve only spent a single day in jail. That’s IT.
Anyway, so I avoided the law for the serious stuff but I was still owned by an older man. I had to escape in the middle of the night to another state 12 hours away just to get away from that situation. At ANY time from age 14 to 21, I could’ve been arrested and had some judge with a god complex throw the book at me. What I’m saying is that man from the documentary who’s now in his late 50s after spending over 4 DECADES in prison all because no one gave a single shyt about him… that could have been ME! How many of you KNOW how lucky you are to have never gone to jail? To PRISON?! That could have been any one of us!
So, a year into my activism work, I met a man whose crime I never even looked up because I chose to always put people FIRST (and not lead by their worst mistakes). This human being is now my best friend and we read books together, study together (he just got his BA), and we share our life experiences together through pen pal writing. And JUST like the man from the documentary who didn’t believe his cousin was gonna stick around and actually care, he didn’t believe I was gonna be a REAL friend either. But just like that man’s family who has been in his life for YEARS now, I am still here caring about this human being one year later. He says he trusts me and feels I’m not going to disappear out of his life like everyone else. I am a safe place for him. He can’t talk about his fEeLiNgS to other dudes in prison! But he gets to talk to ME and we read books and grow TOGETHER! We are currently reading “Atlas of the Heart” by Brené Brown. We are BOTH better human beings because of this friendship we share. That trust he has in me… that’s EVERYTHING.
So, for our 1 year friendship anniversary-BEST Friendship Anniversary-I will be sending him the title and lyrics to this song for him to download on his player there in prison. When this man gets out in 3.5 years (after serving a 17 year sentence), I want him to have SOMEONE in his corner rooting for him. I want him to have that sense of pride and duty in himself to DO BETTER and BE BETTER in life. I want him to remember that he owes it to himself and EVERYONE to never victimize a person ever again. Despite him never having a single ticket in his entire 13.5 years thus far and being a model citizen in his prison community, getting out is no cake walk. Re-entry is next to IMPOSSIBLE even for the less serious crimes, and his crime just so happens to be the worst one to bounce back from in terms of finding a place to live and getting a good job (and people wOnDeR WhY recidivism is SO HIGH). So when he comes back into this world, I want him to play this song and know…
“I never let him go, I never let him fall and I always meant it! And if he didn’t have a chance then I never did!” We can do this together! Even if you’re on the other side of the world from someone, you can ALWAYS be a voice of support! The resources our org can help him with will be a great head start, but knowing he doesn’t want to let me down… now THAT is a reason to not let anyone see him fail! The whole world is against him! He’s gonna show them ALL!
So, as you listen to this LEGENDARY SONG… i want you to consider being a friend to a HUMAN BEING who is SO MUCH MORE THAN THE SUM OF HER/HIS WORST MISTAKES. Be the ONE person that restores their faith in humanity. Tell them, “HAVE FAITH IN ME!” and don’t let them down! Let’s become a better society so we can end the VICIOUS CYCLE OF ABUSE (because hurt people HURT PEOPLE)! And let’s end the human slavery crisis in this country! Let’s give people a REASON to want to do good in life! So when they walk out of those walls, be a voice of encouragement pushing them along! Just having ONE PERSON who cares in their life can make all the difference! YOU can make that difference! You can make it A DAY TO REMEMBER! October 3rd is our Best Friend Anniversary-it’s OUR DAY TO REMEMBER!
Thanks for reading my story🖤

June 16 2021. Still as 🔥🔥 as the day it came out 9 years ago
Words can not describe how much this song means to me. Reminds me of my Brother who passed away. I'd do anything for him. He was my best friend. He got me, and I got him. We over came our traumas together. We lived in constant laughter when together. We both loved music so much and got excited to share new songs and experience it. We also wrote songs together. This was one shared with him when he was struggling.
Life without him is so different. Rest in the stars, Ricky❤
cheer up bro, death of our love ones doesn't mean it's the end of our life too. Your brother is always on your side even you dont see him
A Day to Remember is a good band
DAMN exactly 10 years ago from today this album was released. Time goes by fast, but damn, this nostalgia is hella strong!
a tradition that we always coming back here for nostalgic feeling
This song takes me back to high school had the best memories with my friend slapper. He showed me many great songs from adtr, we both got the tattoos of the famous bird, mine is on my right are, his was on his chest, 2020 I lost him due to drunk driving. He was like my little brother, he know my whole family. Hurts, he left behind a wife and a baby boy that will never know who his dad was. Rip slapper I love you so damn much, adtr fam be smart. Takes one wrong decision to lose you life.
Un abrazo.
My cat and I had a thing, well...
This is depressing.
Al Quedex im here for you
come talk to me if you need any advice, trust me.. I've been through it before ;-;
I've been through the same thing. Except with counseling and being absolutely silent for 3 months...
+Beast only reason I was silent for more than that is because my voice squeaked to much so I shut up for for around 4months? its been a while
JACKSON ZFG Stop being mean ok! Maybe if you had a heart you would know what’s it’s like to put down 4 cats you love ok!? You’re a drug dealer.
i was 12 when this came out... this song was what got me into post hardcore, oh my god the memories....
YO SAME
Man at 33 this still hits like a freight train...
It’s crazy how much better this one song is than anything on the last two albums. Who’s here after the You’re Welcome release?
I tried really hard to like the new stuff, it's just not as good!
I like You’re Welcome! Not my favorite, but it’s got some good songs.
Bad Vibrations, Common Courtesy and Homesick are my absolute fav ADTR albums. You’re Welcome is really bad though. Bad Friend, Permanent, Resentment and Re Entry are the only songs I really like.
I said I'd never let you go,
and I never did.
I said I'd never let you fall,
and I always meant it.
favorite band forever and always will be ADTR
Surly Momma same
honestly
2021 August. It's been years since I listened to these guys. Never should of let them go!
This was my wife and my "introducing Mr and Mrs brennan" moment at our wedding
todos los latinos alos que le gusta a day to remenber dar like xD
Hard to believe its been 9 years since this song came out. So much has come and gone in my life. This album brings me back to one of the greatest times in my life. When i was so happy and felt like i had it all and didnt have a care in the world. Now life is closing in on my, I feel like im stuck, stranded, alone, broken, unwanted. Im scared everyday because i wonder is this it? Is this all ill ever be/have? Will those amazing memories be just that, memories? Or will something truly amazing and good happen to me? Will i ever be able to feel that way again? Or is it just sorrow and regret that i have to look forward to.
This song is 10 years old... *10 YEARS OLD*
uhm... 8 years
@@bule9538 The album was released in 2009.
