I know the song has depressing lyrics but I can't help getting goosebumps Everytime I hear that opening it just kicks my brain straight back to being 13 years old, sitting on my living room floor trying my absolute damnedest to beat my brother's high score in Tony hawk's American wasteland this and wash away by alkaline trio trigger my mind to revert back to when I was a kid and the world didn't suck where we didn't have to pay bills and we got to live life as we pleased with our only fear was getting grounded but we still did the shit we weren't supposed to anyway ... I love this song alot
Loved your comment , puts me back in pretty similar place , perfect resemblance of nostalgia . sadness and happiness at the same time . Wish you al the best
Back when I was a emo skaterboy in high school, still with my first girlfriend who I lost my V card to, hanging out with friends who I would go out and skate with, and playing in a band. Oh man, those were the days.
Bravery has been the driving force behind the transformative journey that I embarked on, forever changing my life. It was not an easy path to take, but I knew deep down that I needed to confront my fears head-on in order to grow and evolve. One notable instance where I utilized bravery was when I decided to pursue my passion for photography. For years, I had held myself back due to self-doubt and the fear of failure. However, summoning my courage, I enrolled in photography classes, invested in high-quality equipment, and started capturing the world through my lens. This leap of faith not only allowed me to tap into my creativity but also helped me view the world from a different perspective. Bravery has become my constant companion, pushing me to take risks, embrace challenges, and step outside of my comfort zone. Through embracing my fears and conquering them, I have experienced personal growth, built lasting relationships, and discovered hidden talents within myself. Bravery truly transformed my life, teaching me that stepping into the unknown can lead to incredible opportunities and endless possibilities.
Essa música lembra de quando eu era criança e passava horas jogando tony hawk american wastland e saia dps pra andar de skate com meus amigos ou então eu via meu irmão jogando eram tempos tão bons essa música faz parte da minha vida
Man I remember this was my favourite band when I was starting out at 16 as a musician in 2006. I’ve since discovered so much music from the past but still love this song. Btw that drummer is incredible
Every time I hear the intro to this song it reminds me of the ending to American Wasteland. Plays during the final cutscenes when you beat the game. Loved that game and this song
It reminds me of coming home from school and sitting on the floor next to my brother and a box of whales snack crackers and trying to outscore my brother (i always failed)
This song takes me back in time when me and my cousin was 12 and 10 years old and we were always playing outside, chasing each other. After that we spontaneously went to our cousin and her boyfriend who was in the 20's and started playing Tony Hawk with them and having fun. Best childhood ever!
Omg I love how the song starts!!! Keys start it off Then Keys and bass Keys, bass, and drums Keys, bass, drums, guitar And finally the vocals kick in It's a great sound Oh and another cool thing is the UK version Sam says I've spent my whole life surrounded (This video is the bravery surrounded by ppl and having fun) Then he says I've spent my whole life alone (The U.K. Video is them in the middle of nowhere alone)
I was like only 8 years old when I played this game, thank god my cousins gave me this great game it was the best I have ever played and what a legendary game.
Ryan Gomez I would be content with even just another game like this one with just a great story mode, that online idea would just be the cherry on top to help it live out longer but regardless would love it also if it had that feature
This Played on the radio while cruising in my car.... fuck things were so much simpler back in the days... this song makes me feel so good It's a feeling in your guts... like a need for new experiences a need for adrenaline damn that song is a blast to my ears and soul
I always played this along with THUG 1 and 2 with my brother... before he lost his mind and left us. Still gives me the feels about when I was 7 or so.
I was only 4-5 years old in 2005, but goddamn does this song make me nostalgic for that time. I still vaguely remember, all the great times I had with my cousin, and friends, house parties in my backyard, playing the PS2 and og xbox with friend, man good times.
Marvelous song and as many already mentioned: this is entwined with Tony Hawk's American Wasteland. Good 'ol days. Installed that game a while ago wondering if the online server(s) were still up, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. Anyway, magical song!
Brings back so much memories. All the countless hours me and my niggaz spent playing this game when we were young. Ill never forget this game truly a classic .
Spam Bot I'd Say THPS 4, cause it was my first, TH game. I know 1-3 are classics, but you'll always love your first a lil bit more then the rest...... or is it just me??? on the real thow THAW is fucking is Underrated, & sadly over looked
This song has been stuck in my head for the past few days. This takes me back to when I was 14 and things were sooooo much different. I had this album on repeat for daaayyys. Now I'm going to be 30 next month. Where the fuck did the time go???
I rediscovered this song in the last few years on Spotify and it sounded familiar as hell. The comment section has reminded me that it was that Tony Hawk game. Glad the track got at least a little exposure; I think this band was better than they got credit for.

I can't believe how many people are here because of American Wasteland. It's been like 10 years since I played that game and just randomly thought of this band aha
Anyone still rocking in 2024?? 🤘
We're still here too, bro! ❤
Yess 🔥🔥
Right here🫀
And still playing American Wasteland also
@@thowell28513 I wish I still had it.
God this brings back the countless hours I spent playing American Wasteland, no regrets there.
Joey Boehm amen to that lol

You just reminded me of the painful hell of a time i had trying to 360 hardflip over that damn dumpster lmao fuck i love that game
my love for American wasteland shall live in this song
🥺 NOSTALGIAAAAAAAA
as soon as that keyboard in the intro starts playing, I get a depressing nostalgic feeling every time
Same here, but it also makes me happy. It's just a great song overall!
i just wanna play tony hawks
zach porter same lol
zach porter yes!
That emo times 😂😂😂
I'll never understand how so many people turned a blind eye to good music.
Samee
@@spiderversed7661 Yo that's dope, never thought I'd see a THAW themed picture in these times!
@@jaimegarcia4436 THAW was my childhood and favorite Tony Hawk game.
Because, all modesty aside, the ability to appreciate good art is not common. Be grateful that you can appreciate it.
I do highlight it.
thaw oh the memories of when things were so much more simpler
+javon colter Where is this times... where..... Bring us back servers NEVERSOFT ;/ I love this game !
Thaw 4ever
THAW was the best skating game of all time.
***** its for sure !
Voo Doo :).
same here man
I know the song has depressing lyrics but I can't help getting goosebumps Everytime I hear that opening it just kicks my brain straight back to being 13 years old, sitting on my living room floor trying my absolute damnedest to beat my brother's high score in Tony hawk's American wasteland this and wash away by alkaline trio trigger my mind to revert back to when I was a kid and the world didn't suck where we didn't have to pay bills and we got to live life as we pleased with our only fear was getting grounded but we still did the shit we weren't supposed to anyway ...

Trending Videos I love that quote :)
Wow great quote
Dro Gaming must be why he cheated on his wife
Em sorry but that sentence he said it Adolf Hitler
Real i don't lying
I nearly cried while listening to this keyboard intro. This quote is so true.
this song seems ahead of it's time. the lyrics are timeless. the use of distortion/eltro mixed with rock makes it a classic.
That final scene where you have the finished skate park, and you talk with Iggy, Boone and mindy.
Brings a tear to my eye :')
Just found my own comment from 8 years ago :) even more nostalgic.
See you in another 8 years
@@joecfcfantasticwow man, you wrote that comment before I ever even played the game, now it's been a solid 7 years since I've touched it. Time flies
Yeeeees ❤️🔥
I discovered the easter egg/ glitch that allowed you to jump through to the second gate/ hallway where they protested the resaurant
@@JohnPetro-d6fwait what?
Back when I was a emo skaterboy in high school, still with my first girlfriend who I lost my V card to, hanging out with friends who I would go out and skate with, and playing in a band. Oh man, those were the days.
Tell me about it, I was all of that but also a surfer in Florida. Now I'm 35 almost 36 and living in Kansas, of all places. I miss those days, too.
I remember when this album dropped, great to come back to it 17 years later. I'm feeling old now 😅
Heaviest depression/nostalgia kick ever. This keyboard intro kills me everytime
Such an underrated gem of the 2000s.
I've always thought this was a happy song because I never listened to the words, now I've listened to the lyrics and it's just like; oh
I know that feeling, bro
It’s almost terrifying to me how relatable these lyrics are
Same with pumped up kicks.
That distorted pluck at the intro is pure ecstasy in audio form
This whole song is audio ecstasy

Thank you for sharing
The intro riff just popped into my head randomly in my chemistry class first period. I got butterflies from the nostalgia.
Essa música lembra de quando eu era criança e passava horas jogando tony hawk american wastland e saia dps pra andar de skate com meus amigos ou então eu via meu irmão jogando eram tempos tão bons essa música faz parte da minha vida
Bons tempos. Tempo que não volta. É as crianças de hoje não vão aproveitar igual era.😢
The bass kills. Carries the song on it's back.
Story Mode complete!
[THAW]
I STILL HAVEN'T DONE IT! (because i loved skating around too much to do the story :3)
haha^^
+Darth Vader (Riding a charizard) don't forget your memory card
it's ok i remember it was red
and it's actually currently in my ps2 x3
If you are readirg this, DON'T waste your 20s. They will be one of the greatest times in your life. Seems to all go downhill from there.
I'm 24, and feel like I already wasted potential in having a loving girlfriend. Never had one.
15 years ago still sounds so cool
All their songs are just pure nostalgia.
R.I.P T.H.A.W We will always remember you.
Man I remember this was my favourite band when I was starting out at 16 as a musician in 2006. I’ve since discovered so much music from the past but still love this song. Btw that drummer is incredible
20.....years....oh my😢
First heard this masterpiece in Tony hawk American wasteland. It brings joy to my heart as an adult now
Every time I hear the intro to this song it reminds me of the ending to American Wasteland. Plays during the final cutscenes when you beat the game. Loved that game and this song
It reminds me of coming home from school and sitting on the floor next to my brother and a box of whales snack crackers and trying to outscore my brother (i always failed)
I listen to this like once a week to get the chills and have the crashing wave of nostalgia overcome me. I miss American wasteland
The lyrics!👀 The sound! Masterpiece!

Aahh... The good old times... :'( :') ❤❤❤
Same here from 1995 ma dude. :') 🤗❤👊
Nostalgia ... 8th grade skate years
so true!!!
one of the best tony hawk's american wasteland songs ever
The best...
Yeah. The best.
This song reminds me of house parties in the mid aughts. Ohhh I miss those times. Just its general energy.
Omg I love how the song starts!!!
Keys start it off
Then
Keys and bass
Keys, bass, and drums
Keys, bass, drums, guitar
And finally the vocals kick in
It's a great sound
Oh and another cool thing is the UK version
Sam says I've spent my whole life surrounded
(This video is the bravery surrounded by ppl
and having fun)
Then he says I've spent my whole life alone
(The U.K. Video is them in the middle of nowhere alone)
I was like only 8 years old when I played this game, thank god my cousins gave me this great game it was the best I have ever played and what a legendary game.
Became my favorite song in thaw. Now one of my favorite songs of all time :)
That’s what Berkeley school of music alums can create! Great music is this!
Tony Hawk needs to make one more great skating game :(
DopeitsRaul 7 having an open world tony hawk game on the current gen with online would be amazing
Ryan Gomez I would be content with even just another game like this one with just a great story mode, that online idea would just be the cherry on top to help it live out longer but regardless would love it also if it had that feature
THUGpro is for you guys. :)
Yeah because pro skater 5 is not it
DopeitsRaul 7 SEPTEMBER 4TH
Time to download this album again.
I love the beginning
This Played on the radio while cruising in my car.... fuck things were so much simpler back in the days... this song makes me feel so good It's a feeling in your guts... like a need for new experiences a need for adrenaline damn that song is a blast to my ears and soul
So true
I got here because of that too! It played on the local station and had to track it down again!
Remember waking up not having a worry in the world and to just turn on your ps2 having the time of your life playing tony hawk American wasteland
Came here from years of playing American Wasteland, stayed because that game is heavenly and its soundtrack is full of bangers.
I always played this along with THUG 1 and 2 with my brother... before he lost his mind and left us. Still gives me the feels about when I was 7 or so.
Most underrated band and most underrated song.
Busted my first natas spin to this 😭
I was only 4-5 years old in 2005, but goddamn does this song make me nostalgic for that time. I still vaguely remember, all the great times I had with my cousin, and friends, house parties in my backyard, playing the PS2 and og xbox with friend, man good times.
This song is still great no matter how many times you've listened to it. 7 years later and still amazing.
19 years later- song is still amazing
Listening to this song while it was night time in the game was a different expierience.
Marvelous song and as many already mentioned: this is entwined with Tony Hawk's American Wasteland.
Good 'ol days. Installed that game a while ago wondering if the online server(s) were still up, but unfortunately that wasn't the case.
Anyway, magical song!
Great modern rock band! Thanks so much for posting!
American Wasteland, anyone?

After all these years
Right in the childhood. Loved this song :)

The Bravery - Unconditional Lyrics:
I've spent my whole life surrounded
And I've spent my whole life alone
I wonder why I never wondered why
The easiest things are so hard
I just want, I just want to love
I just want, I just want to love
I just want, I just want to love
I just want
Something, something for nothing
Yeah, something, something for nothing
'Cause I'm a beggar and a chooser
I'm accused and accuser
But nothing's unconditional
I hold the whole world accused
And I've only got myself to blame
I wonder why I never wondered why
The easiest things are so hard
I just want, I just want to love
I just want, I just want to love
I just want, I just want to love
I just want
Something, something for nothing
Yeah, something, something for nothing
I just want, I just want to love
I just want, I just want to love
I just want, I just want to love
I just want, I just want to love
Something, something for nothing
Yeah, something, something for nothing
'Cause I'm a beggar and a chooser
I'm accused and accuser
But nothing's unconditional

thepianist126 You should give it to me
This song is older than all of the kids who play the next video game this song is in. Idk COD? Some racing or extreme sport game lol
Tony hawk American wasteland ps2
This song is awesome im suprised nobody has done a drum cover for it
The intro is just plain awesome!
Anyone here remembering that mission in american wasteland where you have to do that hard trick over the dumpster?
Fuck yes! It took me forever to beat that one
that hard trick was hardflip :)
+xXaerooff2Xx Hardflip 360
Yeah, hardflip and then hf 360, which was of course harder :D no pun intended.
I think the hardest for me was to jump over the big stairs at the pier :l
This song has good vibe 🥰
Круто!!! THAW!!!
Ностальгия(
This was our hair metal. The greatest song from the best NYC band from the early aughts
I'm touching my PS2 tonight.
Cause It's been almost 4 years now since I played a Tony Hawk game.
Omg same
Haha same 😢😀😭
+Daniela Prieto im from Perú, this song remember Tony Hawk
Hi pyro fron tf2
I had it for the GameCube lol
This song brings me back to beautiful time. Beautiful memories with this song and Game Tony Hawk American Wasterland ❤2024 I'm still here
"flips are flippin fun!"
My all time favorite song from the bravery. It’s so nostalgic and it was also in thaw 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Me at 14, playing American Wasteland: this song is awesome!
Me at 32, now: it describes me way too specifically and it's depressing as fuck...
Maaan. 2005. Sophomore year, waiting for bus blasting this on my Sony sport. Nothing could make that thing skip.
when i hear the intro immediately pictures of summer, blue sky, ice cream, holidays and zero worries flash in front of me
Possibly the best opening to a song ever 👌
Man I need some more music like this it's been far to long! Any suggestions?
Try with the Strokes, or search on google Tony Hawk's American Wasteland Soundtrack
check out THE FAINT..great dance punk band :)
THE JEDI FOODIE Such a nice band :)
..they are on tour soon
THE JEDI FOODIE :O
The Offspring and Dead Keneddys too
Ty Tony, for letting me get to know this band
The bass sounds as dark, and as evil as Darth Vader in this song.
So many nostalgic THAW players here. If they're ever going to make another TH game with multiplayer, see you all guys in there!
This song was in Tony Hawk American Wasteland! Miss the good times!
Mis tiempos de doble nueve !!
I can't believe how many people are here because of American Wasteland. It's been like 10 years since I played that game and just randomly thought of this band aha
Same and this song is not even on Spotify >:o
z3idd actually it is
I can't find it though. Only the band but not the song
@@z3idd check their first album.
The intro is sick,on of my fav ever.
guitar power!!!
Gracias, The Bravery.
Always played it on guitar hero nonstop
