LYRICS:
Don't tell the boys that you've been crying in my arms
yea I believe it's sharing season for the feelings in our hearts
come on now!
sign the dotted line
go head and join my little cult
we'll talk about how childhood traumas guide our actions as adults
slam the bottle on the counter
take this thing down shot for shot
you know i've made a lot of best friends, you're the best friend that I've got
now we're howling at the moon
hell yea!
we're making lots of noise
you know i hate to say i love you, but there ain't no other choice
don't tell the boys
don't tell the boys that we done spent the week inside
and watched 3 seasons of the oc, 'till marrisa fucking dies
you know at times im more like ryan, and you're a little more like Seth
you're so quick witted when we talk about what happens after death
I heard your brother's in the desert
he's been fighting for our freedom
he's been chasing nameless faces ever since he finished rehab
can we support the individual, without supporting the whole damn complex?
it's either shooting guns or heroin, at least one of them pays for college
ah shit!
don't tell the boys
don't tell the boys that we just had our little talk
you know in tougher times, us guys decide we'd rather walk the walk
i'll always be a lending ear, i'll be your elephant best friend
don't tell the boys we've got each other, and i'll love you till the end
don't tell the boys
"It's either shootin guns or heroin- at least one of them pays for college."
Pure genius.
i feel stupid, but can you explain those lyrics to me? i get the shootin guns but the heroin part doesn’t make sense. like is he selling it?
@@Eighty8percent Shooting guns aka joining the military pays for college...heroin def does not
@@Eighty8percent shooting heroin means injecting it
@@Eighty8percent It's saying his friends brother has a heroin problem, and the military may suck -but it will keep him busy chasing nameless faces and its keeping him busy - where if he is home he may relapse and fall into his addiction - and even if the military messes him up and he ends up back in his addiction, at least now he will have a safety net of helping with school, etc. I think its saying people with nothing to lose, and with little hope may be driven to the military out of necessity and not desire. I had a lot of friends with a lot of issues that enlisted at 18 because they had no idea what they were doing, and were best to have some structure and a network. This wasn't everyone who enlisted, of course, but its a lot of peoples relationship with the military. Some people turn to their friends, some run from their demons, some chase them.
Just heard this for the first time, hooked me on that line. Dope writing
Every few months I need to hear this song until I cry. Then I send it to all my friends I have see in years.
I'm so here for the friendship and heartbreak, love and nostalgia.. There's something special about Petey, watching him unfold has been a beautiful little movie.
wanna start a cult?
jk...kinda

Count me the fuck in
I fucking love petey
What got me hooked was the part about "Don't tell the boys that we done spent the week inside and watched 3 seasons of The OC till Marissa fucking dies, you know sometimes I'm more like Ryan, you're a little more like Seth. You're so quick witted when we talk about what happens after death".
First of all the nostalgia about the show, second of all of those binges my friend and I used to do, and those casual conversations and jokes about our deepest traumas.
I can really relate to a lot of his lyrics in his songs, especially now. I definitely would have listened the shit out of him 10-13 years ago, but wouldn't really have understood him to the core like I do now. You kind of understand your traumas better the more you age.
I'm from Toronto. I missed all my opportunities in life. I wish I could do a redo. This song makes me not jump on the tracks. Cheers . This is real music
Hi S. I read your comment and was curious how someone from such a major international city can miss so many important milestones. I ask sincerely out of curiosity, I’m not being a typical YT comment section asshole. Just genuinely curious, because I detected so much sincerity in your words for such a short paragraphical grouping of them
@@BootsORiley Perhaps due to shyness or being part of a crowd that didnt do those things or being pushed to concentrate on studies or not knowing anyone who encouraged those activities. There could be a hundred reasons; where you live is almost the least important.
S is not real
It's never too late my friend, get out there and get the experiences you are longing for!
You can turn around things quickly. Life is full of ups and downs. It’s how you respond to the downs that can harm you.
If I could re-approach my life with my wisdom I have learned I would be an absolute boss. Unfortunately it’s about now, and what you do today.
Why isn’t this the number one hit song in the world right now?
it is in my world
The boys weren't told.
World ain’t ready
Because we didn't tell the boys
Because the world don't know shit
I don't know where Petey has been my whole life but I'm glad he's in it now.
Fuck yeah!!! Totally agree!
A love song for our best friends is exactly what we need. Idea 10/10, execution 11/10.
I just spent the morning watching a bunch of your tiktok videos, then checked out your Spotify and now your music videos. This song, man… i was expecting a laugh or two, but did not expect to hear the most meaningful song I’ve heard yet this year. You have become my favorite artist across all platforms today. Thanks
The perfect blend of electronic indie and emo revival sound really does something to my heart.
I don't care if this is a joke or totally serial, this is one of the best I've heard in ages. Made me call all my best friends and tell them I made a lot of best friends and they're the best friend I've got.
I listen to this song at least 2 times a day it is an absolute masterpiece
Your comedy is gold but your music makes me cry in the best ways
Hey Petey. No idea if you’ll end up reading this or not but I just want to let you know how much this song means to me. I’m going through some really heavy shit right now. I have a hard time getting my feelings out, and this song really helps. Thank you.
Men have needed a new paradigm for love between “bros” for so long now…the sentiment of this song is a good place to start.
if you sing about The O.C. the song immediately gets 10x better. A++ song
lmao just saw your tweet
u just tweeted about this lmaoo
your entire taste in anything is based on the O.C. and I support that
PERIOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im here from your tweet
I sit back and vibe to this all the time. Takes my mind to a simpler time with the boys. When I wasn’t in a toxic situation.
We could spend hours/days doing nothing and all be having the times of our lives.
One of the boys got divorced and moved across the country to rebuild his life.
One of the boys became an alcoholic and can’t stay out of trouble..
Lastly.. my best friend, who is the only one I really see anymore, is out there becoming a war fighter.. I’ll see him soon as we have an annual camping trip me and all the boys used to do. Now it’s just me and him.
Haha this song brings on the memories hard.
Cherish your boys fellas.
Hope things get better fast dude
I feel you dude. We have to take the special moments we have with true friends and cherish them. We all get old and things change. Life hurts man.
I immediately wanted to tell the boys after watching this....but i held out for a few mins then I forgot to tell them. So I am listening to it again....
Bro same
Love scrolling through comments on YT.. This was a Grade A+ comment. Got a good chuckle out of it!
When you came for the comedy and would have stayed just for that, but then find astounding music , Jeeze bud you broke the backboard with this one .
Haha “we support the individual without supporting the whole damn complex, it’s either shooting guns or heroin, at least one of them paid for college” is my favorite line I’ve ever heard in a song! This is phenomenal and I love it.
Sincerely,
An ex army infantryman that shot guns instead of heroin and can now pay for college
Ex army medic here. 100% agree. I went from drug dealing to fighting in the desert. Now I'm back in college finally. And watching this guys absolute banger tiktok videos. Now his music get me through the days.
I'm pretty sure it's conflict, not complex
100% as a infantry marine. That did two tours in Iraq.
We used to huddle around a laptop and watch the oc in between missions in 05
Such beauty, It saddens me that some people may never actually hear this song!
I’m surprised no one has mentioned how killer the drums are on this track. All around great tune:)
Perfectly written song. It’s so impressive how every facet of a song can fit to a complete strangers life. I’m here for it.
This is a absolute masterpiece. This EP is going to be better than your Vegas guy.
When I yell 'Don't tell the boys!' or 'Now we're howling at the moon, HELL YEAH!' randomly in any situation, people seem to feel bad that they're left out from knowing about this masterpiece, so I clue them in and now their life has been changed.
Why is this song so damn good?
Tell me why, my AI guy!
One of the best songs about Bromance I've ever heard. Right up there with 'Guy Love' from Scrubs.
Feels like a classic Stand By Me adventure
Omg. This just brought tears to my eyes 5 seconds in.
thanks so much you guys for making this song and other songs too. i’ve been borrowing my kid’s big headphones to listen super loud and now i remember seratonin again!
SeraYOOOOOOOOOnin! Hope you're still going strong out there!! We're all rooting for you!
This pepsi got me all jacked up
Yeah fr 😂
cherk the ferdge
this is so fucking good… sent it to my best bro. we have laughed, we have cried and been on many a nature adventure together
I just randomly stumbled across this as a recommendation and it's great. Heavy OC spoilers, though. 😂
your both a lyrical genius and a videographer mastermind, I really hate that I just discovered you this last week. both your music videos and your short skits are just so damn amazing. you can't just watch one they suck you in and you end up watching them for hours.
One of the most heartfelt songs I've ever heard. I can't think of many other songs that have left me emotionally reeling like this. Thank you for this.
This song is amazing. Ive listened to it all day. It makes me cry.
I wish I could give this 100 thumbs up. I appear to be a few years late to the game, but this is amazingly insightful and is beautifully crafted. I am a huge fan at this point.
I just discovered this today. Exactly 2 years after it was posted. I wish I had this 2 years ago. I'm hooked!
The writing is so relatably poignant, and the performance simultaneously heartwarming/wrenching.
This song makes me feel alive for a tiny moment, and for that I am ever-grateful, Petey.
However, please, don't tell the boys.
Your music means so much to me and I don't know what to do other than feel this song as hard as I can. Thank you.
This is the height of music perfection as far as I can tell.
Petey. My guy, my bro, my pal, my friend. Bless you. You are an absolutely beautiful human being. Never stop. ❤
0:24 after listening to this song so much, I always make sure to SCREAM "COME ON NOW" after that beautiful line
How does this video not have at least a million views?
There is no way to describe how much I love this song. The vibes are just infinite and this song gave me light for a little bit. Where do you get your inspiration for all of this incredible content
Some of us are fighting for those few brief moments of light. This breathes hope into this world.
This has become my FAVORITE song ever!!!! I love it! You are an amazing writer!
This is making me sob uncontrollably. Can't we just exist to love already? I'm exhausted of hatred.
I think every kid growing up should listen to this song at least once. I will play it for my hypothetical kids one day
I'm getting my ears pierced now. Thanks Albon
Is it weird that I listen to this song at least 15 times a day?
Having watched a lot of peteys shorts i wasnt expecting his music to be this deep, i was wrong
Like most, came across the petey tiktok vids and then saw a short clip of this song live. It just hits you different. This is amazing. New fan here! I needed this for the last 2 years of hell we've all lived in.
4 tours in Iraq.... This song makes me cry...lol
2 here too.:I feel ya
Griffin Mcelroy sent me to this video from his podcast Wonderful, with his wife Rachel. I'm glad I came. Great video. Great song. I'll be listening to Petey tomorrow at work.
Holy fuck. This is as close to perfect as anything should ever be. It's almost too close.
Why does this song hit so hard?…
Thanks for the music recommendation, Jersh
I really enjoy your music! Shout out to UA-cam music for suggesting this bangers!
I don't think you know how much I've needed your content I'm going threw alot right now and your stuff even tho it's silly it helps me stay grounded to my fading identity... thank you
I cry to this song often, being alone sucks but music makes it suck a little less.
This might be one of the best Spotify recommendations that have had a long time. Absolutely fantastic song
I have listened to this song for at least three hours straight now. I keep telling my wife “don’t tell the boys”
I'm so incredibly grateful for your music Petey. I found your shorts on Facebook randomly and then figured maybe I should give your music a shot since you absolutely crack me up. I have listened to your EP countless times over. It is easily among my most listened to albums. It probably feels weird seeing so many people connect with your music but I have to tell you man....I, like many others here, absolutely adore your music and your brand of weirdness. This album is so important to me....this song especially. I truly hope you can trust that your music and overall talent are genuinely loved. Take care of yourself brother.
Criminally under appreciated
Whoever played drums on this killed it.
This made 2020 worth it
A true song of true feelings. I love it. I love you.
there are a lot of songs that make me absolutely weep for no reason whatsoever. this song doesn't fit that category, because there is plenty of reasoning. 💖
I told the my guys, about 30 seconds in, about this song. Absolute banger. Would bop to it again.
Can't wait to play this every time when the boi's are together ❤️
This is the best and most positive find I have had in a LONG LONG time. Love it. Love Petey. Thanks man.
Came here from Sasha's Insta Story 😍😄
Same
Same
Same 3
too good. make me tear up a little.
chuck tingle sent me, and i was not ready for this to make me cry today
Yep and yep
I balled my eyes out.
The mountain goats vibes love it!
It has been decades since I heard an album that I listened to every. Single. Fucking. Song! This is like what I listened to back in junior high and high school in the 80’s and 90’s. Fucking brilliant! Thank you!!! ❤️
Beautiful song. Thanks Petey!
That was pretty damn good. I loved that!! Music makes you feel a certain way you never would have felt had you never heard said song like this one.
There's just something about this dude... Special man. And I mean that as genuinely as possible
so thankful I found this song ~ ♥
Just sent this to my best friend of 28 years! He was my best man when I got married this year! Love that SOB so much!
This is actually amazing, those damn feels. I hope to see you live one day in the UK
Getting some strong Pinback feels from this.. first time listening to you guys.. love it
This song is a masterpiece
this song goes way too hard. we weren't ready for it.
I honestly didn't know what to expect. I'm very pleasantly surprised. I feel like i just watched et/stand by me for the first time again in my childhood. The level of nostalgia and reality in here is legitimately captivating, and the amount of emotion and passion you put behind the vocals is nothing short of amazing.
Just listening brought tears, then listening to the lyrics brought em twice as hard.. amazing.. just amazing.
That 360 was sick
Holy shit I didn't know you made music, my day went from baby hands to this and I never been more happy
I just discovered this guy and it’s my favorite thing ever
One of my favorite love songs of all time
What a great song. This hits the feels so much.
everything about this song is absolutely amazing, can’t wait to see more from you petey!
Never had a song made me cry till now …my best friend is going through cancer treatment
I feel you’re hope, pain and heartache. I found this song when my brother was diagnosed with leukemia. I sadly lost him last October this song hits hard.
@@louisavila9450 sorry for the late reply but my best friend ended up passing January 2022 … first song I came to listen to after I got the phone call. Sorry to hear about your brother. That would be so tough.
never heard of you guys but this is one of the best songs ive ever heard
1 year later still expect this to hit top of the charts
Seriously!
Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.
your stuff is epic bro, i just discovered your music today and i am in love with everything. thank you!
This was an absolutely great piece. Good for you Petey!
Go Petey! This song and the whole EP is so dang good. It's been staying on repeat!
Petey is the lyrical genius of our time
What an absolute anthem
