"'summer is a song that was written in the winter. it is about being in the process of moving forward when it comes to heartbreak. there is a lot of mixed emotions in the words, and at times it shows signs of emotional growth, at times it shows signs of emotional exhaust; but most importantly it highlights that point in moving forward when you finally realize that you dont need that person you thought you needed a year ago."'
This song got me through some shit last year. Listening to this song and revisiting the pain and heartache I felt just makes me proud of how far I've come since then.
I really love the genuine sound of Dan's voice. Especially on the recorded tracks. Some artists mix their voice and then sound completely different live and I love that real friends sound the same
this is my favourite man in the world and i'm going to see him in November i need to meet him, i swear to god this band and their lyrics have made me the person i am today and kept me from doing things to myself and im so thankful. holy fuck man.
dans voice is very "off" in this one. i like that. i really look up to a lot of these bands, and it killed me when i sounded like this because i wanted to mimic Real Friends, Knuckle Puck, TSSF, and TWY so bad, and i just couldnt find the right voice, so there was a ton of trial and error. Its actually comforting to know that at that level, and how inspiring these vocalists can be, they still mess up, a lot. makes me feel a lot better about myself. we're all only human, you know?
I feel like his voice is always off in their acoustic sessions but thats my favorite part. the natural(?) raw sound and the raw emotion you feel with the songs. its amazing
I love seeing bands do this, it makes other people trying to be perfect with their vocals, that we're all human and that we all cant have perfect voices, and that when you're in the studio you're going to make it perfect. this is just awesome
This song continually has me in tears. To hear it acoustically and hear the raw emotions you guys put into every song amazes me. I can't believe I have the amazing chance to see you guys soon. I can't than you enough for saving me this summer.
Been listening to you guys from the start, never change your message despite what people will say about it, there are so many of us who relate and will always be around. Thanks for the music
just going to point out that eric smiles a genuine smile when dave squeezes his hand. true friends (i was going to write "real friends", but then i realized that i'd unintentionally put a shitty pun there) give you confidence, like dave gives eric :-)
You were easy on my eyes You were heavy on my heart I never thought I'd live to see today You're still in my mind But not in my chest I'm a little worn out since you fucking tore me down You made me believe we had something I guess that I was wrong I thought I would be numb to this by now I guess I was wrong I miss you like the summer Right now I think I need you here But I don't really need you I'll get through the winter without you Stick with me or don't stick around at all I was the boy who was to scared and ran away I was the glue that never dried You were the girl that made up her mind And left me all alone to die I miss you like the summer Right now I think I need you here But I don't really need you I'll get through the winter without you I'll sit on my basement floor Turn off all the lights and try to not think about you Just know that when I'm down there I'll know that I wont be running through your mind You were easy on my eyes You were heavy on my heart I miss you like the summer Right now I think I need you here But I don't really need you I'll get through the winter without you And I'll get through the winter with out you You made me believe we had something Well I guess that I was wrong
I love Dan and all of the together.. but damn sometimes I can't listen to RF for more than a few songs.. it's too winey sometimes I just can't handle it. (Physically and Mentally) I wish he's simply, almost, whisper his lyrics instead of screaming them as if he's dying (Yes, I know that's what he's going for) but from 2:49 and forth, his voice, along with the guitars, is so damn relaxing.

Thank you, I am deaf and could not hear the intro
Could not be more generically gringeworthy especially with those shouty pop punk vocals.
@@patienbear God, you suck lol

Trent Gregory same
same, got broke up with last december because of my depression, this song helped me to get through the worst
Still healing, thank you Real Friends.
6 years
I really love the genuine sound of Dan's voice. Especially on the recorded tracks. Some artists mix their voice and then sound completely different live and I love that real friends sound the same
A Real Friends song about break up?!?!?! thats unheard of!!
What are they going to write about next? Boney knees? The midwest?
+Sarah Anthony tired eyes?
Being anywhere between 16 and 18?
Don't know how people can hate on his voice in this, it sounds like pure emotion. It's lovely
definitely one of my favorite bands.
i swear every real friends song goes perfectly with the situations happening in my life. makes you feel not so alone
this is my favourite man in the world and i'm going to see him in November i need to meet him, i swear to god this band and their lyrics have made me the person i am today and kept me from doing things to myself and im so thankful. holy fuck man.

that's how i feel about it
i think that's what pop-punk is all about. we're not perfect.
I feel like his voice is always off in their acoustic sessions but thats my favorite part. the natural(?) raw sound and the raw emotion you feel with the songs. its amazing
It's also that this nigga smokes cigarettes everday....
I love seeing bands do this, it makes other people trying to be perfect with their vocals, that we're all human and that we all cant have perfect voices, and that when you're in the studio you're going to make it perfect. this is just awesome
this makes me happy. Can't wait to see you live again!
see you guys in November! can't wait

The only real friends I have is this band. Love u guys thanks for the music

Most of his vocals are rough but i love the raw screaming that he does when he can't hit the pitch. It shows such emotion
This was so fucking good it gave me chills.
I FUCKING LOVE REAL FRIENDS.
Amazing meaning. I can't wait to see you guys this Friday.
Having them explain the meaning is so great I love learning the emotional process behind songs.
Please come to Chileeee!!!🙏🙏🙏 I really love you guys!!!💕💕💕💕

Completely obsessed with this.
I miss you like the summer right now I think I need you here, but I don't really need you. I get through the winter without you. . .
When I'm in my car and this song is blasting, I'm in a better place than I've ever been. I get so emotional singing this.
Perfection

Perfect. Can't wait to see you guys again in november
Beautiful 😭❤️

Cold chills man, cold chills
Could you guys make some guitar tutorials on some of the acoustic songs, I love you guys
Love it so much.
Love this so much!
You were easy on my eyes
You were heavy on my heart
I never thought I'd live to see today
You're still in my mind
But not in my chest
I'm a little worn out since you fucking tore me down
You made me believe we had something
I guess that I was wrong
I thought I would be numb to this by now
I guess I was wrong
I miss you like the summer
Right now I think I need you here
But I don't really need you
I'll get through the winter without you
Stick with me or don't stick around at all
I was the boy who was to scared and ran away
I was the glue that never dried
You were the girl that made up her mind
And left me all alone to die
I miss you like the summer
Right now I think I need you here
But I don't really need you
I'll get through the winter without you
I'll sit on my basement floor
Turn off all the lights and try to not think about you
Just know that when I'm down there
I'll know that I wont be running through your mind
You were easy on my eyes
You were heavy on my heart
I miss you like the summer
Right now I think I need you here
But I don't really need you
I'll get through the winter without you
And I'll get through the winter with out you
You made me believe we had something
Well I guess that I was wrong
Dan's hair is THEE shit
I cried. I cried a lot - Real Feels.
Thanks for making me cry
this song ❤😭😭
This was amazing, I can't wait to see you guys again in November!
This is beautiful
greatest band ever , sad i’m too late
Really nice work guys! Hope you come to spain someday :)
Maybe try the acoustic vids standing up. I know it would ruin the feel, but it's obviously really stressful on Dan's cords.
Favorite band(:
this was amazing as always
i love this x
thank you
This is filmed right by my old babysitters house.....omggg i played football over in that area!
anyone wanna help track down the people who disliked this and tie their shoelaces together
yes, fuck yeah
More acoustic songs plssss
It's cute that you guys all have the same tattoo
Amazing.
YES
I love Dan and all of the together.. but damn sometimes I can't listen to RF for more than a few songs.. it's too winey sometimes I just can't handle it. (Physically and Mentally)
I wish he's simply, almost, whisper his lyrics instead of screaming them as if he's dying (Yes, I know that's what he's going for) but from 2:49 and forth, his voice, along with the guitars, is so damn relaxing.
I'll be at new yorks gig !
Dan kills it.
That was hella mega rad
why am i cryinf
I live two minuets from that field why wasn't I there?! :p
I love this fucking band so much. Chills.

Dennis in the description, dummy?
does anybody know the strumming pattern for this?
+Morgan Graham Surely you can figure that out by listening?
Johnny Strachan I tried but I just can't seem to figure it out. I'll have to look into it again and maybe I'll figure it out
Morgan Graham it's just DDU UDU UDU with some down strums towards the end
this means so much to me you don't even understand
Tabs or chords please
