From the first few lines I'm bawling, I'm 28 years old. Wife had a miscarriage, we got divorced, I found aaron west. I had seen the wonder years live before but had no idea about aaron west. There is no artist or piece of media more important to me than this discography. This song is absolutely incredible, it's a middle ground between routine maintenance and we don't have each other. I have nothing more to say than thank you to soupy. Your music has meant more to me than you can imagine, and helped me through my darkest time regardless of how cliche it sounds
I'm so sorry to hear you went through something so difficult that it was chosen as the ultimate trial for a character to go through - my best wishes to you man, I hope you recover like Aaron did in the storyline of the albums, and I hope you aren't in as dark a place as he was. And don't worry about being cliche, I can't imagine anyone applying that to your situation (and like, fuck them if they do)
It's so fucking beautiful where 'Our Apartment' is just one guy and his guitar, the beginning of this journey. As we head to the end, this song swells with gang vocals of all those Aaron picked up along the way, it's beautiful and has me in tears!
This band saved my life and completely changed my way of thinking. I would fly across the world to see them if I had the money. Please come to Hollywood florida. Thank you Aaron west for your writings! -#1 fan
Can't wait for the rest of the songs and get the rest of the story. Absolutely in love with the AW20 saga. One of the most important support in managing the grief after my mom passed. Hope to see him live in EU soon :)
I can't wait for Aaron West's story to come to a close so i can listen to it all. I'm so glad i preordered the deluxe . I'll have the whole discography in my record collection, including orchard park,will always rep AW20 forever 🖤🥺🥹
in just one week, I : parted from my partner, lost a job I absolutely loved, and found out my father passed away.. Before all that happened, I really felt like I was on the upswing of my struggles..and now I'm back down again.. ..I've listened to this song over and over and over since it came out and it's like a bright firefly of hope in this endless yawning dark.. I know I'll be my sunshiney sunflower self again, we just gotta hold on, the wound is gonna mend. ❤🩹
I will be forever in debt to Aaron West and The Roaring Twenties. The year my father died I found them and 10 years later the year of his 10 year anniversary they come around again. I thank you guys from the deepest part of my heart.
Went to see you guys in Chicago in June 2022 with a close friend. One of the greatest experiences of my life. I've felt that Aaron's journey has mirrored mine throughout major events in my life. Losing a child and love, running from responsibilities and your family, being at your lowest before finding comfort in strangers, rediscovering what's important and reuniting with family when it matters. Will never forget listening to Lead Paint & Salt Air on the 4th of July in 2019, the last day I spent living in my car before finding a home with an estranged friend, the one who went with me to that concert. Unfortunately, I couldn't meet the band that day due to COVID concerns, but I grabbed a pre-signed poster I have framed today - in the apartment with him. It truly felt like coming full circle, and just as I assume Aaron will have, I've made mistakes since then, but growth is what really matters. Thank you, to the whole band, for writing such a beautifully flawed character. I'll be there with the others for the livestream in April ❤
10 years of following this journey has been incredible. My life has forever been changed by these stories and melodies. What an incredible album and a fantastic conclusion to a heartbreaking story of a person who just wants to heal. I will never forget what I’ve learned, how I’ve grown, and the tears I’ve shed. Thank you so much for this and for reminding us it’s okay to be broken. Pain only a chapter in our story and you are never alone in your struggles. Long live AW&TR20s ❤
I cant put in to words how much this band means to me. Its just so full of hope, and this song is another great example of that. Its pure joy wrapped in the layers of the heartache it takes to get there. So authenitic, so heartfelt, and like evey other song aaron west puts out- i can picture it in my head like a family movie. God i love this band.
I've been following Aaron West and the Roaring Twenties for 3-4 years now. While only being 19 and don't fully relate to the exact story of Aaron West, his music has always been my favorite. Coming from a family of 70's and 80's rock, listening to my own mix of genres of Pop-punk, emo, alternative, folk, folk-rock, etc... and always being surrounded by country music (from where I've lived) Aaron West's music speaks wonders in all those categories (don't get mad at me if their specific genre isn't what I listed). The story of this guy named Aaron West has been beautifully crafted into 3 albums released over the course of 15 years, and love every, single, song... Dan "Soupy" Campbell has to be one of the best storytellers in the music industry ever. Starting in the beginning just a guitar to a beautifully crafted, full ensemble; thanks for your music.
I'm a recovering addict. 8 months clean on the first. My girlfriend of six years passed away in 2020. I know we werent married, but 6 years is more than some marriages. I always feel so awkward when I admit that I haven't "been with" a single person since then. There's so much here that hits home. I havent cried like this in such a long time. They're coming to my city this summer, and im spending what littke money i have to my name to see them live. Soupy, thank you. And to all the other fans here sharing their own personal stories, youre like a distant family member. I love all of you, stay strong. It does get better.
Favorite rock band dropping this today, favorite rapper dropping new stuff tomorrow. Helluva 48 hours for me musically speaking. Can't wait for the full album in April!

its insane how relatable all this is
I feel ya dude. My ex divorced me two years ago and it was rough but there's always gonna be a sunrise tomorrow.
This song is just soo 💐💕🥹 I needed this
I appreciate you all. I've taken it all and grown from it. This music had kinda almost let me take a 3rd person perspective almost
It's so fucking beautiful where 'Our Apartment' is just one guy and his guitar, the beginning of this journey. As we head to the end, this song swells with gang vocals of all those Aaron picked up along the way, it's beautiful and has me in tears!
I've never looked at it like that. You're right. Thank you for pointing that out!
This band saved my life and completely changed my way of thinking. I would fly across the world to see them if I had the money. Please come to Hollywood florida. Thank you Aaron west for your writings! -#1 fan
After going through my own personal heartbreak, “Hold on, the wound is gonna mend” hit hard and at a time where I’m finally moving forward 🙏
I'm with you til the bitter end.
Incredible. Can’t wait for the full record to come out! Excited to dive back in to the world of Aaron West!
Can't wait for the rest of the songs and get the rest of the story.
Absolutely in love with the AW20 saga. One of the most important support in managing the grief after my mom passed. Hope to see him live in EU soon :)
I'm excited to be absolutely crushed by this story
This my absolute favorite song right now. It's unreal how good it is.

James Gunn has good taste in music. Glad he introduced me to this song.

You can tell every second of this song was written with such passion. I can't get enough.

Amazing musicianship! Hit that spot of a perfect car crash between emo, country, americana and punk.
This is incredible. Is this the record label page???
Does anyone happen to know if some of the members of the live band played in Hey Rosetta before? They look very familiar
Already better than the newer wonder years stuff can’t wait for the album
Ok, but imagine he didn't catch the guitar at the end tho.
