The way Dan presents such regret for a fictional character going through divorce in young manhood is astounding. i literally weeped when i heard "Hey, Dianne, I know I fucked up. It's just when we lost the baby, I kind of shut off" Oh Mr Campbell you've made feeling human that much more okay. Thank you
Just noticed the pile of sheets on the end of the couch after hearing our apartment. That's where Aaron sleeps because he can't stand his bed without Dianne. Then the Buffalo hat! The whole album is such a brilliant piece of work
If you all think his indebtedness to this album is beautiful off this video, you really need to see him perform an Aaron west set live... the man does it, in character. Full character. Tears. Commentary. Back story. Everything. It is absolutely masterful.
Thank you Dan Campbell. Thank you so damn much man cause you have truly NO IDEA how much you've helped me over ten years. This was the first song I learned completely on guitar down to the bridge transition and weird transition you do at the end. This was the first song I played when I had my first real heart break when I was 19. The was the first song I played for my wife too kinda help her understand the kind of trauma I had gone through in said previous relationships and others with the feeling of guilt or blame for all those wrong doings in those relationships. This is the first song I played for my son yesterday for the first time to pay homage for you and this album being there for me in the last ten years. I hope you see this Dan and maybe, just maybe, if I'm lucky enough I can catch ya at a concert and tell you myself. I know you may not know me but I love you man and appreciate the character than is Aaron West and the beautiful music associated with him. ❤❤
I play and sing through this album sometimes when I need an emotional outlet and some of the lyrics I just can't bring myself to sing without my voice breaking. All of these songs are incredibly important, this one especially.
This is one of those songs that if you hear it when you're in the exact spot as Aaron, you'd wish you could go back and listen it when everything was fine.
Is anyone else watching this while they are currently in a loving relationship? Bc I am and this is making me so sad at the thought of losing my significant other. Damn it man :(
Am I the only one that thinks Dan is a musical genius? Like to me there are only a few legit musically gifted people alive now, Mike Shinoda, Eminem coming off the top of my head.. people that can just keep writing and writing and composing different genres and sounds. I'm becoming convinced Dan is right there with them.
+John Francis while I love Soupy, I don't think he's a talented enough musician to be considered a genius, but lyrically he's one of the most talented lyricists around, so in that sense I'd consider him a genius
Mr.Campbell, To tell you how much this album has helped me in life would be an understatement. This was the first song I had learned on guitar and truly mastered (including those little hammer-on pull-offs) from there I became instantly hooked to your character and his music. My dream is too see you one day play so i can tell you this in person, you have truly been an inspiration to my music and to my life and i thank you for that 🤘🏻
As someone who's lost the love of their life just for being such a senseless scumbag, listening to this song makes it so hard to swallow. Don't turn your back on the ones who love you. Push yourselves to be the best part of someone else's life.
Soupy is the songwriter of a generation. From his pop punk to this folky storytelling, the words put you in the story, for better or worse. I can see Aaron sitting in a phone booth, broken down and crying on the phone to Diane about the fuckups in his life. It's heartbreaking.
Shortly after this album came out, my long time woman had a miscarriage after 4 months of pregnancy. We had been trying for about 6 years before she finally got pregnant. Its a scar that we will never lose.... She never got pregnant again, we have learned to deal with it. On the good side, we are still together and stronger than ever, 13 years and running.... This song/album helped me though a tough time...
I just saw him earlier playing this song live and a few others at the Gallery Of Sound in PA. He's down here for Warped Tour. He played a pretty solid show if you ask me.
I saw him live two days ago. He ran the merch table before and while talking to him he was his normal self, but as soon as he went on stage as Aaron West he completely transformed. He didnt acknowledge the few idiots shouting out " HEY SOUPY" and became aaron west. it was great.
I get the idea that Soupy actually feels like this. I don't doubt what he said when Hopeless released the introduction video, but you've gotta have some major things going on in your life to write something like this. It makes me kinda hurt on the inside in a weird way.
I have similar thoughts, but I still believe that Aaron West is a truly different mindset... like it's based on stuff that Soupy either is or has gone through but instead of letting it negatively affect him he used it in a proactive way to expand had a songwriter is kinda beautiful.. In a "you'll probably end up crying a lot" kind of way
Hey, Dianne Could you pick up the phone? I know that you're listening Baby, I know that you're home and I know where I went wrong Don't you leave me alone Could you pick up the phone? I'm lost at a truck stop somewhere in the South I don't know where I'm going, but I'm figuring out I locked myself in this phone booth; read your number aloud Now, I'm waiting it out If I lay here long enough, maybe the bugs will eat me whole If I stay here long enough, maybe the night could take me home I won't let go, even if you say so No, I won't let go Hey, Dianne I've been trying to quit I went from pack and a half a day to this e-cigarette bullshit. Oh, I know how you hate it Hey, Dianne I know I fucked up It's just when we lost the baby, I kind of shut off I know I never listened. I wasn't there for you enough I'm a fuck up If I lay here long enough, maybe the bugs will eat me whole If I stay here long enough, maybe the night could take me home I won't let go, even if you say so No, I won't let go I had a dream I flew back North and the plane went down before we hit New York You didn't come to the funeral You didn't come to the funeral I hope you'd come to the funeral I hope you'd come to the funeral Hey, Dianne
Lost love, addiction, miscarriage, divorce, anxiety, depression, and desperation.
What a heavy album, and an especially heavy song.
Don't forget the death of the father.
^ this, this song is still as relevant today as it ever was
It's like life
The way Dan presents such regret for a fictional character going through divorce in young manhood is astounding. i literally weeped when i heard "Hey, Dianne, I know I fucked up. It's just when we lost the baby, I kind of shut off" Oh Mr Campbell you've made feeling human that much more okay. Thank you
Soupy is a crazy good lyricist. He really knows how to hit that soft spot in people's hearts.
I don't think I've listened to one of his songs and not felt the undeniable need to hug him.
That trumpet at the end gives me goosebumps.
I was just about to say something about that
Yeah there's something weird about it.
Has the feeling of depression and nobility.
+DeViNoDe this song is the reason why i bought a trumpet. Imma learn how to play that part.
Outro trumpets always get me. I think they are one of the most underutilized instrument in sad songs.
When you see him in concert he had the whole crowd do the trumpet part...it’s so good!
This song always manages to fuck me up right in the feels.
Just noticed the pile of sheets on the end of the couch after hearing our apartment. That's where Aaron sleeps because he can't stand his bed without Dianne. Then the Buffalo hat! The whole album is such a brilliant piece of work
"I hope you come to the funeral" fucks me up
She can't cause it's already sold out
This is gorgeous. In a record label lacking in emotion, Hopeless finally found a genuine lyricist. I'm going to get the album for sure.
I really wish this song was on the radio. This is definitely mainstream worthy.
If you all think his indebtedness to this album is beautiful off this video, you really need to see him perform an Aaron west set live... the man does it, in character. Full character. Tears. Commentary. Back story. Everything. It is absolutely masterful.
I cry evertim. But really that verse about losing the baby and then the dream about the plane...damn.
It doesn't matter what mood I'm in, this song fucks me up and I cry 100% of the time

It's not about forcing happiness, it's about not letting sadness win.
Wrong Song.
I play and sing through this album sometimes when I need an emotional outlet and some of the lyrics I just can't bring myself to sing without my voice breaking. All of these songs are incredibly important, this one especially.
Listening to this still in ‘23 from front to back this album is so damn good 😩
Soupy, I'm soo proud of how much progress you've made as a musician. He never fails to impress me!
Good Lord. This song gets to me so hard, I can't listen to it anymore without crying.
Phrasing.
2tYlerfAilure7 I love you
@@2tYlerfAilure7 had a double take
This is one of those songs that if you hear it when you're in the exact spot as Aaron, you'd wish you could go back and listen it when everything was fine.
am i the only one thinking a movie should be made inspired by this album?
Check out the new teaser, you might like what you see!
They need Ryan Gosling to play the male in it if they did. It would be a fucking incredible movie.
he just wants to sell out his funeral, diane.
He just wants to be enough for everyone, come on diane
Soupy is the best, my favorite lyricist and singer. No one makes me cry as often as him.
Is anyone else watching this while they are currently in a loving relationship? Bc I am and this is making me so sad at the thought of losing my significant other. Damn it man :(
Love that he's wearing his dad's old Bills hat that's mentioned in the song 'You Ain't No Saint'
Am I the only one that thinks Dan is a musical genius? Like to me there are only a few legit musically gifted people alive now, Mike Shinoda, Eminem coming off the top of my head.. people that can just keep writing and writing and composing different genres and sounds.

I think working with Ace Enders helped him a shit ton.
+John Francis while I love Soupy, I don't think he's a talented enough musician to be considered a genius, but lyrically he's one of the most talented lyricists around, so in that sense I'd consider him a genius
Don't forget sufjan Stephens m8
+John Francis
Eminem: "Just lose it, HAHA HAHA HA"
Yeah, talent!
+Kevin Smith yeah people aren't allowed to have fun with their music also that songs super old and it's not like dans never had a silly song
It's so amazing to listen to listen to his music and be high. I'm about to cry.
Every one deals with their own issues. I appreciate the sincereness throughout this album, it helps reflect how a lot of people cope with tragedy.
Soupy is a very talented musician. I can't wait for this album.
I love TWY, why am I only finding this now?!
This music video just makes me want to give Soupy a hug
hahaha true :(
I love the trumpet bit at the end and the song is beautiful and emotional
The whole song is pretty good, but by 3:40 I got THE chills. Stoked for the album!
Amazing song, like the use of the Bills hat that was talked about in You Ain't No Saint.

Everyone's gotta learn somehow so they can be better. Best wishes to ya man, and to the ones we hurt.
i love this song and i love his voice. it's so unique and it just has this quality that brings this unexplainable feeling to every song
I like how at the end, there's a kid that seems to almost recognize who he is (Or at least it looks like it).
thank you for always being there for me for every break up love you soupy
right in the feels. his lyrics are literally perfection
Beautiful song, absolutely stoked for the album!
Get stoked on it!
Hauntingly beautiful.

This song fucking blew my mind.

lucky!
This hits home.
"it's just when we lost the baby, I kind of shut off... and i know i never listened i wasn't there for you enough... I'm a fuck up" SOUL BEARED...
This song is amazing and I cannot wait to listen to the album at least 100 times.
This is like all my favorite parts of The Wonder Years, Limbeck, and Hot Rod Circuit.
Full of true americana raw emotion.
tears never felt so good
This is amazing!!!! thank you for more amazing music Soupy!!!!!
To any Rooster Teeth fans, look at the fridge at 1:19
Cheeky RT magnet ❤️
Aaron West lives the vape life
Vape Naish, dog
My favorite song for polishing off a fifth😃
Same
God man, so many feels.
Guys this isn't Soupy, it's Aaron West!
Sarcasm
I saw him live two days ago. He ran the merch table before and while talking to him he was his normal self, but as soon as he went on stage as Aaron West he completely transformed. He didnt acknowledge the few idiots shouting out " HEY SOUPY" and became aaron west. it was great.
Seeing Soupy in a Buffalo Bills hat gets me pretty hype.
I thought the wasnt sad anymore
Soupy isn't. Aaron West must be though.
yeah you're right
also you dont know when the song was written
Just tired most nights.
He's still sorry he doesn't laugh at the right times though.
Simply beautiful
such a beautiful song
This gets me in my feels
I got kicked in the feels....now I need a hug
I'm probably going to have quite a few man cries during this album holy shit
I know I never listened, I wasn't there for you enough.
wow! beautiful!!!!
am I the only one who was expecting to see hank walking around at some point in the video?
Yes.
Tyler Brazeal haha
4:15
Looks like Dan from Real Friends.
The subway station at the end of the video is Classon Ave, which at all times is served by the G train. You kept me waiting like the G train.
Worst. Wedding band. Ever.
@@slayingcube8805Woooooooosh!
Dude, they're quoting from the dude in the Aaron West music video for Our Apartment.
Man, this whole album makes my heart hurt
I listened to this as a younger man who was just married. Now I'm getting divorced...
rough bro hope all is well
this is just what i need! truly beautiful :)
New favourite song... at least until I hear the rest of the album I guess.
oh my god... he sounds just like the vocalist from the wonder years.
is this what young kids call a troll?
because..
he is?
hahaha good that one
OMG and he LOOKS JUST LIKE HIM TOO!
that's because everyone with a beard sounds like Soupy, it's science, don't question it
Ace needs to produce for more artists.
Sponsored by Marlboro cigarettes, Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whisky, and that lonely park bench by the river.
Is a very very very beautiful voice, I like it soo much
Looking forward to seeing you guys in a couple months in Oneonta. Come to our campsite and drink whiskey, it won't be weird. Probably.
This is beautiful.
These frantic rest-stop phone calls don't get answered anymore.
Soupy is a lyrical god
Diggin that bills beanie, bruh
I get the idea that Soupy actually feels like this. I don't doubt what he said when Hopeless released the introduction video, but you've gotta have some major things going on in your life to write something like this. It makes me kinda hurt on the inside in a weird way.

In a "you'll probably end up crying a lot" kind of way
Austyn Zapf Yeah, I get what you're saying. I would hate to know that he, or anyone for the matter, would have to go through something like this.
I guess he found his dads old Bills hat
So glad Soupy's on Warped Tour ^-^
Don't forget mike Kennedy
Skyler Garrard Mike Kennedy is a bad friend.
eeeeewow the feels. :c
This song reminds me of the Statue of Liberty...
His shirt is a Wallace & Barnes Flannel from J Crew...I know this cuz I own it. Boy's got style
I love this. I love guys thay know their buffalo jeans and j crew threads
Why make me cry, Dan? Why? :'(
Good shit.
Go Bills!
the guitar is a fender acoustic, the Tim Armstrong signature.
Very good
Am I the only one that thinks he slightly sounds like Counting Crows?
He really does, never thought of that before
dude yes
And wonder years
It's good.
That Bills hat though.
Hey, Dianne
Could you pick up the phone?
I know that you're listening
Baby, I know that you're home and I know where I went wrong
Don't you leave me alone
Could you pick up the phone?
I'm lost at a truck stop somewhere in the South
I don't know where I'm going, but I'm figuring out
I locked myself in this phone booth; read your number aloud
Now, I'm waiting it out
If I lay here long enough, maybe the bugs will eat me whole
If I stay here long enough, maybe the night could take me home
I won't let go, even if you say so
No, I won't let go
Hey, Dianne
I've been trying to quit
I went from pack and a half a day to this e-cigarette bullshit.
Oh, I know how you hate it
Hey, Dianne
I know I fucked up
It's just when we lost the baby, I kind of shut off
I know I never listened. I wasn't there for you enough
I'm a fuck up
If I lay here long enough, maybe the bugs will eat me whole
If I stay here long enough, maybe the night could take me home
I won't let go, even if you say so
No, I won't let go
I had a dream I flew back North and the plane went down before we hit New York
You didn't come to the funeral
You didn't come to the funeral
I hope you'd come to the funeral
I hope you'd come to the funeral
Hey, Dianne
Anyone still here?
