@@randomman8097 One thing i could give to you is this "spend your life with your family and friends live life with love understand people that they make mistakes all the time forgive yourself and others and be kind."
I finally landed a good job, after 3 years of nothing. My family is proud and I couldn't be happier. There are downs..but there will always be ups. Keep that in mind, have a great life.
SmoothCriminal That’s great to hear buddy. I’m glad things fell into place finally! I relocated to Ireland in the beginning of the year and have been jobless for the last 6 months and still struggling to find even a basic paying admin/office job even though I have 7 years of work experience and a degree. It’s tough and I feel like shit and useless. Sigh.
OneRepublic has been robbed of Grammys time and time again. It seriously breaks my heart. Ryan Tedder writes his own music, has written for other artists, and yet he barely has any awards. The music industry is so unfair. 💔
ur acting as if grammy awards are a thing of value and they are no more credible than those forbes lists or magazines that rank things. its generally not meant to be taken too serious.
I was getting my nails done and I heard this for the first time!! Boy-oh-boy! I immediately got to the car and turned this on!!! I LOVE THIS SONG!!!! I’m super late... 10 years old!!
Woke up in London yesterday Found myself in the city near Piccadilly Don't really know how I got here I got some pictures on my phone New names and numbers that I don't know Address to places like Abbey Road Day turns to night, night turns to whatever we want We're young enough to say Oh this has gotta be the good life This has gotta be the good life This could really be a good life, good life Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight Like this city is on fire tonight This could really be a good life A good, good life Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh To my friends in New York, I say hello My friends in L.A. they don't know Where I've been for the past few years or so From Paris to China to Colorado Sometimes there's airplanes I can't jump out Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now We all got our stories but please tell me What there is to complain about When you're happy like a fool Let it take you over When everything is out You gotta take it in Oh this has gotta be the good life This has gotta be the good life This could really be a good life, good life Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight Like this city is on fire tonight This could really be a good life A good, good life Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh A good good life Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Hopelessly I feel like like there might be something that I'll miss Hopelessly I feel like the window closes oh so quick Hopelessly I'm taking a mental picture of you now 'Cause hopelessly The hope is we have so much to feel good about Oh this has gotta be the good life This has gotta be the good life This could really be a good life, good life Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight Like this city is on fire tonight This could really be a good life, oh yeah A good, good life Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh yeah, a good good life, good life Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Whoah, woah, listen, To my friends in New York, I say hello My friends in L.A. they don't know Where I've been for the past few years or so From Paris to China to Colorado Sometimes there's airplanes I can't jump out Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now We all got our stories but please tell me What there is to complain about
This song reminds me that despite the bad things that happend to me, I'm still here. I survived. Still struggling and fighting to figure life out at 25. But this gotta be the good life. I will make it good, I promise.
Bro I don't know you but you don't need to have jackshit figured out at 25. I wish I was 25 again, when nothing really mattered. Enjoy your youth. Make it a good life. You won't get the time, energy, metabolism, body or excitement back. Trust me. My mid 20's were the best time I ever had, and I still don't feel like I did enough. Make the most of it. You have plenty of time later to "figure things out"
When I was a senior I was in a dark place. I listened to this song and just cried. I didn't think anything would get better. I am still struggling but it does get better.
dont trust but ateast find friends, life doesnt get easier but they keep you busy and a trend that you can follow., or maybe if you know a better way, please share.

Listening to this song as I’m leaving BMT heading tech school. Having my phone back and feeling free once again. This is a good life. Many things you take for granted are the most important, listening good music or just looking at the sunrise. God bless you all
Diagnosed seizure disorder, bipolar, and 3 attempts at taking my own life. Seen the inside of too many psych wards. I ask myself everyday, "What am I doing?" and I get no response. I'm just here...and the feeling of just wanting to say 'I love you' to the entire world is overwhelming. My soul is bleeding throughout this whole song, and all humans are the band-aids that stop the bleeding. I love you Earth!
0% violence.... 0% fight.... Only 100% pure music..!!!🎵🎵 This song gives me positive energy and motivation...👍👍 Makes my life a 'GOOD LIFE' whenever I listen to this song....Really a mind freshener...!!!! Love from India💘💘🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
10 years later and I’m wishing I could go back to when this song first came out. Growing up and looking back at how fast life passes you by is just mind blowing.
Dude, I haven't heard this song in an entire decade. I last heard it beginning in high school, and then it disappeared from the radio. It sounds brand new, but also gives me that sense of nostalgia. Amazing.
What the fuck i was going to say almost the same thing. I remember hearing it sometime in high school. Then it dissapear for me. I heard it again in a stupid video and came looking for it. It feels nostalgic
I like to think of all us as just big kids with kids of our own. :) Look at it this way, you get to see your kids smile at the end of each day, right? That's always worth it.
NOSTAGIA dude. I was addicted to this song when I was about 8 years old, rocking with my friends, using a bucket as a drum, a broom as a guitar. Probably one of the best moments in my life. Glad I came back to this.
Ever wince my grandmother passed away I would always listen to this song. And I just have to keep remembering she's no longer in pain and she had a great life
Been having the worst week with my job, accidentally discovered this song thinking it was barely months old but found out it's been around over a decade, incredible and can't stop smiling listening to it. LOVE this band
Sometimes the spirit world communicates like this messages come in different ways. Have you ever had random songs in your head when you wake up from sleep, go listen to it , there's a message in it.
cryfvckingbaby Don’t worry child!!! If you believe on Christ, you are going to have AMAZING things beyond anything your mind can comprehend in the future! I know that feeling exactly what you mean when we reminisce about our olden days. Please don’t let anyone rob you of the promise God made to anyone who would just believe! May God bless you and keep you!❤️😇
JeremyD jus cause u don’t believe in god don’t mean u gotta say shi like that believe in whatever u want and they can believe in whatever they want too why do u care he’s jus spreading good vibes stfu lmao
Played this song everyday I got on the bus on the way to school. Being a kid/teenager thinking of having a good life was a great feeling but now it doesn’t feel that way, Times flies when having fun.
After being stuck in a depressed rut lately, I'm so thankful for music like this that just makes you feel good. The kind that rekindles the fire within. Thank you One Republic!
Now that I am older, and in this point of my 20-years in life, every single song that I have ever heard as a kid became more true and true with each passing experiences I have, hold and have to treasure for the rest of my life.
I remember when this song came out I was fighting with anxiety and every time I had an attack I used to hear this crying and it helped me so much to feel better. Now I realize how much I've growth. Thank you so much.
When this song came out I was a depressed teen and had absolutely no hope for the future, now I’m in my mid twenties and own a home with the love of my life and have two kittycats and a great job I love… but I’ll always come back to this song no matter how many years pass, it really helped me out of a dark place ✨

23 is a wonderful age. I decided to just keep a happy vibe, and shed all the bullshit. Finally got over my ex, deactivated my social media accounts, made my friends circle smaller, focus on my family and study, and just not care about what other people do. And I never felt happier :')
Exactly life is so much easier when you focus on what's in front of you instead of worrying about everything else going on 😊 glad you are feeling better and take it easy
Firelord Zuko I never had any social media, just Twitter back in the day. (and UA-cam, of course) . I have enough real friends and I focus in really enjoying life and not apparent things to others. Cheers from Spain!
So, I am not sure how many people are going to share my sentiment here. There are so many songs that have heard. I listen to them at various times in my life, and I heard then as I went through my 32 years on this planet... I honestly think that, at face value, this song was one I thought was a pretty good song and I could relate to. However, after spending my entire life in poverty, being put through hell after hell by people from blood to strangers to those in power to someone who thought that by getting enough angry people riled up that they could hold onto power they had abused and continue to abuse even after losing it, and all I can say is. My story has had very few bright points. I have been living in extreme poverty for 11 years and counting, I have had multiple near death incidents, several by my own biological dad. I have been written off by medical professionals and been emotionally and mentally abused so many times and so often that I truly believed my sister's first husband physically abusing her was worse than her second husband having an affair and continuing the affair after pleading with her to take him back. "Please tell me what there is to complain about." Oh, I would love to. Unfortunately, it would take so long to do that, I doubt you have that many years left on the planet. I hear a lot of songs that stay relevant, or get better with age. This one, to me? It sounded good when I was younger, but the years have made it sour like milk would if you left it sitting out of the fridge too long Just so you know, I will not see any responses to this comment. Any attempts to try and shame or say something to make me feel guilty, while it wouldn't work in the first place. Would be a massive waste of your time. I just felt the need to get that out there
Bruh you need to be grateful idc how bad you feel 2020 you can't wait later on to be happy be grateful in the moment itd the good life right now life is good idc how much pain is in life .life is good .when time passes your gonna regret taking it for granted
Not gonna lie, I was watching the music video of "Secrets" and I saw this as the next one. I'm like, "Wait a second, I think I remember this song." Started watching and listening and yep, I do indeed remember!
Reminds me of when I was in 5th grade and life was just so easy. Had a crush, had friends, loved my school, and everything was simple. Brings back memories
@bread loaf , u better savor it good , cuz I didn't savor much of my good memories , they were the best of times , I had a crush too , and good friends and fun days , no worry about anything
To all the people who are lucky enough to have this music play on their IG posts when they brag about holidays and being with the love of their lives, good for you. I wish I knew what having the love of my life felt like.
For me it's not exactly the same but I get the feeling. I kind of want to walk through a big city, some friends at my side and laugh about life. Maybe some coffee in one hand.
Finish your school Go to college Finish the college Find a good job Find a girl to marry Have kids BULLSHIT! LIFE CAN'T ALWAYS BE PERFECT, BUT IT'S YOUR LIFE. SPEND IT THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE!
lol this reminds me of that one scene from Fight Club where Tyler Durden talks about the phone calls he makes to his dad after hitting life achievements and his dad just tells him to do the next one
Facts make me think abt life just think man u live life once and it flys by so quick just yesterday I it felt like I was a kid and I'm 23 already it just makes me think abt all the things I have to enjoy every second of everyday cuz in reality everyone u love and that's around u will not be around at one points and one day your day will come and I just think please I just want to enjoy life and hope EVERYONE enjoys it every second i lost so many loved ones and it just makes me realize YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE
4 years ago I lost a close friend to me to cancer and he would whistle this song all the time and even in his final days he would jam out to this song and was grateful for the time he had to roam this earth . Rip Dan . I miss you and hope you’re still jamming to this song among the cosmos 🤍
I remember being a kid and wishing I had a car. I would drive so fast and far away. Now I think I am in a car that just keeps going faster and faster with no way to slow it down. Enjoy life. It goes by way too fast. It is a good thing to be alive. The best that I can do is keep taking those mental pictures and hope I remember them.
I have anxiety and panic attacks and during a particularly severe panic attack when I was 16/17 (while I was on an airplane) I had my earbuds in and this song came on and it literally snapped me out of the panic attack. My heart rate went back to normal pretty quick and I wasn't shallow breathing anymore.
For some reason, this song doesn’t stir any sad emotions in me like most songs that are nostalgic. It’s always kept me extremely optimistic no matter what happens. Gotta keep moving forward
There is definitely a correlation between music, emotions, thoughts and memories. Honestly a huge percentage of music I listened to was negative as shit. I still enjoyed some of it but it definitely played a part in my mood and anxiety. Obviously I listen to other music or I wouldn't be on here, but this song helps with my depression and optimism. Way back when stop and stare came out was the year my mom died and my girlfriend I loved was moving back home afte college 1000 miles away, so obviously I couldn't help but feel emotional listening to that I was a 23 year old with alcoholic tendencies losing people I love, leaving me sad, alone and depressed. Now when I hear that songs it is a better feeling. Memories of people and events that are still in my heart one way or another. The reason I am listening to this song right now at 37 is that deep depression and anxiety still take over my life sometimes you have to hear it from someone or something that life is a lot better than I credit it, trying not to let the negative consume me when there is so much good.
How I feel everyday when I woke up for school knowing I'm gonna see that 1 person I care about. I get to relive that feeling again in September and I love it :)
that's so me when I see that beautiful smile I think if she feels the same way about me and then she comes to talk and a second later were dating and it is a good life
joel robinson well if you haven't seen your girlfriend all summer shes not really your girlfriend is she?i mean if shes your girlfriend you two should be going out talking chatting hanging out if you can take her out to the movies once in a while.
10 years later I can say this song helped me go through the darkest moments of my life and I got out stronger and better! There is light out of the tunnel and I can say I worked hard and built that good life. Proud of myself for never giving up this song gave me so much HOPE when I needed the most!

I'm a 20 year old daughter. I can only imagine what my mom would be like if I were gone 💔. Life is crazy and difficult, and can feel very long. But when I stop to listen to a message like in the song, I think back on my childhood and I initally have angry feelings about it. I feel like I've grown to appreciate even the tough areas because in the end, I think it were a pretty good life.
My life has turned 180 degrees at least 3 times in 3 years after 18 years stalling. Please, don't give up. Move, work hard on yourself and try to be better everyday and you will accomplish what you wish
Chill Sponge, It seems like at this point, people saying "We don't care what year you're listening to this in" is a cliche for UA-cam comment sections. Sometimes we do care. People ask who're curious just how many fans have held on to the song and never forgotten over the years. It's a good thing.
@@mikeweber9950 no it's not a good thing, dopey. Its fucking obnoxious and annoying when every other comment is some idiot saying the same thing just fishing for likes to fill there sad lonely egos...
+The Overlord Hey depression is not just a mental illness, every day people can get depression! Hell i had it when my mother passed away almost 2 mouths ago and it still comes back every once in a while!
The Overlord Talkin' is not misspelled if you are from the south that is how we say Talking and that is how we spell it so there was no need to correct Sebastian on that
First off, english is not mine either its no excuse. Of course ive seen those girls but you said that you have to have a "mental illness" to be depressed. Its kinda like saying "your arm cant be in pain cause u dont have a cast" its bullshit. But if you say people can be mentally ill some periods of their lifes i agree

i still think that 2011 was 2 years ago. Time passes by fast. I remember listening to this when i was younger with no goals. But now i'm getting my first diploma.
blitzgodgaming gaming Actually, to get that diploma is just tiring. Having to study 104 chapters all combined together. Plus having to revise 104 exams. Yep. Well i'm not the kind of human that can study one chapter in one hour but i'm sure gonna do it. Hope the best for you.
also when i do very risky things i think about this song and it makes me the best kid i can ever be and right now iam super licky cuase i live in las vagas and there was a iheart raido and i got to meet them and i told all the things about the song and they told me to go with them and they sing this song to me and it was the best day of my life
ahhhh😣...everyday and every time in and every night I get depression and tension and anger and sadness and I get hurt with th words of my DAD....the way he hurts my mom...and the way he hurts us...it's been 20+ years but it still hasn't changed....and I really hope I get a good life in my future....I am 21 now but I pray...to Jesus that I get a good life.....and this song is directly pierced on me
One day there’ll be things that’ll go for you it’s the way things work you just have to stay strong bold inside have a little faith one day you’ll move you and try holding a little on for your mom and words hurt let it all go either write and burn or just blurt out to him let him know or if that doesn’t work just know it never will matter to him so just shut your ears away till you find someway.i hope you do someday ♥️ hold on stay strong try to be optimistic and you will fly too
I used to listen to this when I was deep into depression and anxiety. This would make it 1% better. That was very huge for me. I am now back to being my real self. And as I listen to this, I feel so proud for being optimistic and believing and persisting. If I can do it, anyone can do it :)

OneRepublic has been robbed of Grammys time and time again. It seriously breaks my heart. Ryan Tedder writes his own music, has written for other artists, and yet he barely has any awards. The music industry is so unfair. 💔
ur acting as if grammy awards are a thing of value and they are no more credible than those forbes lists or magazines that rank things. its generally not meant to be taken too serious.
I was getting my nails done and I heard this for the first time!! Boy-oh-boy! I immediately got to the car and turned this on!!! I LOVE THIS SONG!!!! I’m super late... 10 years old!!

This song reminds me that despite the bad things that happend to me, I'm still here. I survived. Still struggling and fighting to figure life out at 25. But this gotta be the good life. I will make it good, I promise.
Hang in there! You have a wonderful life In front of you. Stay positive. 🎉❤
Bro I don't know you but you don't need to have jackshit figured out at 25. I wish I was 25 again, when nothing really mattered. Enjoy your youth. Make it a good life. You won't get the time, energy, metabolism, body or excitement back. Trust me. My mid 20's were the best time I ever had, and I still don't feel like I did enough. Make the most of it. You have plenty of time later to "figure things out"

Listening to this song as I’m leaving BMT heading tech school. Having my phone back and feeling free once again. This is a good life. Many things you take for granted are the most important, listening good music or just looking at the sunrise. God bless you all
Who else has been listening to a lot of 2000’s music basically crying that we are growing up
Me....I just want time to stop for a little while...
me
Yeah all the the crap going but we're stong it will be good
I’ve bin doing this for the past 2 years
plus the apocalypse and my now 100% increased chances of dying alone this has been a ride.
Diagnosed seizure disorder, bipolar, and 3 attempts at taking my own life. Seen the inside of too many psych wards. I ask myself everyday, "What am I doing?" and I get no response. I'm just here...and the feeling of just wanting to say 'I love you' to the entire world is overwhelming. My soul is bleeding throughout this whole song, and all humans are the band-aids that stop the bleeding. I love you Earth!
Well this one Earth born person, thanks you and is sending love and positive energy in return. 😊 happy soon to be 20/20.

10 years later and I’m wishing I could go back to when this song first came out. Growing up and looking back at how fast life passes you by is just mind blowing.
Agreed
Tell me about it
Yesss I agree @Nat Mun
Time flies so fast, listening to these song makes me go back to those time, "good life" ko pandemic, no stup*d tiktok and noisy social media
it only gets faster. enjoy the ride
Dude, I haven't heard this song in an entire decade. I last heard it beginning in high school, and then it disappeared from the radio. It sounds brand new, but also gives me that sense of nostalgia. Amazing.
I know EXACTLY what u mean
What the fuck i was going to say almost the same thing. I remember hearing it sometime in high school. Then it dissapear for me. I heard it again in a stupid video and came looking for it. It feels nostalgic
SO TRUE DUDE 😂
@@alfrex666same here!!
The song didn’t disappear from the radio, you just have to change the channel… peace and hugs KP
Growing up is realizing we’re still all kids who are forced to go to work, pay bills, etc… and to pretend that you’re grown up. 😢
that is so true
I like to think of all us as just big kids with kids of our own. :)
Look at it this way, you get to see your kids smile at the end of each day, right? That's always worth it.
NOSTAGIA dude. I was addicted to this song when I was about 8 years old, rocking with my friends, using a bucket as a drum, a broom as a guitar. Probably one of the best moments in my life. Glad I came back to this.
Ever wince my grandmother passed away I would always listen to this song. And I just have to keep remembering she's no longer in pain and she had a great life

Don't lose hope
it will come back. do what you have to do and it will be even better
just listen as if you were listening back then, relive it, no worries
Played this song everyday I got on the bus on the way to school.
Being a kid/teenager thinking of having a good life was a great feeling but now it doesn’t feel that way, Times flies when having fun.
After being stuck in a depressed rut lately, I'm so thankful for music like this that just makes you feel good. The kind that rekindles the fire within. Thank you One Republic!

23 is a wonderful age. I decided to just keep a happy vibe, and shed all the bullshit. Finally got over my ex, deactivated my social media accounts, made my friends circle smaller, focus on my family and study, and just not care about what other people do. And I never felt happier :')
Exactly life is so much easier when you focus on what's in front of you instead of worrying about everything else going on 😊 glad you are feeling better and take it easy
Firelord Zuko that is like a life advice lol
Firelord Zuko I never had any social media, just Twitter back in the day. (and UA-cam, of course)
. I have enough real friends and I focus in really enjoying life and not apparent things to others. Cheers from Spain!
Thats my motto right now !
Thx friends r the advice
This song makes me want to live on a mountain and think only positive thoughts for the rest of my life
or next to the water ;).
with internet.....
nvm
A sound desire.
+Ilham Eam hh
Whats stopping ya?? :D
nothing like a slice of heaven. Do it!
Does anybody started to listen again their songs after wherever I go? Good times :')
Song of my life
NO! You've made me cry ;-;
holy crap this that song literally brought me here
that's me
jajajaj
YESSS!!!!
So, I am not sure how many people are going to share my sentiment here. There are so many songs that have heard. I listen to them at various times in my life, and I heard then as I went through my 32 years on this planet... I honestly think that, at face value, this song was one I thought was a pretty good song and I could relate to. However, after spending my entire life in poverty, being put through hell after hell by people from blood to strangers to those in power to someone who thought that by getting enough angry people riled up that they could hold onto power they had abused and continue to abuse even after losing it, and all I can say is. My story has had very few bright points. I have been living in extreme poverty for 11 years and counting, I have had multiple near death incidents, several by my own biological dad. I have been written off by medical professionals and been emotionally and mentally abused so many times and so often that I truly believed my sister's first husband physically abusing her was worse than her second husband having an affair and continuing the affair after pleading with her to take him back.
"Please tell me what there is to complain about." Oh, I would love to. Unfortunately, it would take so long to do that, I doubt you have that many years left on the planet. I hear a lot of songs that stay relevant, or get better with age. This one, to me? It sounded good when I was younger, but the years have made it sour like milk would if you left it sitting out of the fridge too long
Just so you know, I will not see any responses to this comment. Any attempts to try and shame or say something to make me feel guilty, while it wouldn't work in the first place. Would be a massive waste of your time. I just felt the need to get that out there
I can't wait for 2020 to be over....I want the good life again.
Bruh you need to be grateful idc how bad you feel 2020 you can't wait later on to be happy be grateful in the moment itd the good life right now life is good idc how much pain is in life .life is good .when time passes your gonna regret taking it for granted
Trust meee ik
Yes
sorry,this is the new normal

No matter old it is, whenever listening to this song, It brings me hope, pleasant, and belief in life.

@@arturkaminski1028 True
Not gonna lie, I was watching the music video of "Secrets" and I saw this as the next one. I'm like, "Wait a second, I think I remember this song." Started watching and listening and yep, I do indeed remember!

Oh God time running out

Imagine Dragons is way better i my opinion
Why don’t we appreciate time in the moment but we miss the same time when 10 years is passed ?
Nostalgia..
When people really were happy and songs had memories and good meanings..
Why are these comments on every song that is like over 5 years old? Ppl are still happy, music is still good! Just open up to it!
Truuueeeee
Nicholas Whitson truuuueeee
@@nicholaswhitson3225 Nah it's pretty trash nowadays nothing but autotune, cliches and mumble rap out now so GTFO. 😂😂😂
Aquarius well you need to listen to more music than the wack shit that’s on the radio then. Cuz there is still good music. Just not in the mainstream.
Reminds me of when I was in 5th grade and life was just so easy. Had a crush, had friends, loved my school, and everything was simple. Brings back memories
SOCS hahaha back in 5th class i couldn't even handle my nose,and you had a crush.
Holla man.
What year were you in fifth grade! When I was in fifth grade there was more drama than middle school 😂 guess it’s different for girls
I think in 2005 i were in 5th class.😂😂
@bread loaf , u better savor it good , cuz I didn't savor much of my good memories , they were the best of times , I had a crush too , and good friends and fun days , no worry about anything
SOCS, me too
I remember...when this was on MTV every morning always watch mtv before school
Charlie Kilduff same bro
+Sandra Bercian yee
danton steele ya
+Charlie Kilduff Too bad MTV does not show music videos anymore.
Jostin Montalvo Yeah thats another feature to waste!
To all the people who are lucky enough to have this music play on their IG posts when they brag about holidays and being with the love of their lives, good for you. I wish I knew what having the love of my life felt like.
This song just makes me wanna go out for a nice little drive and feel the wind blowing in my face and think how beatiful life is xD
True
For me it's not exactly the same but I get the feeling. I kind of want to walk through a big city, some friends at my side and laugh about life. Maybe some coffee in one hand.
Chasing Jess Ikr I was also thinking about that too
comb is all around to do lol
Music Channel 1738 i actually want to go out to nature where im all alone and forget that im born in this shit generation. i rather was born in 1960😟
This song is so genuine! I've had it on repeat for almost a week now. I'm going to have that good life they're singing about.
It is a good life. You just have to decide that it is❤
Why does this song make you feel sad and happy at the same time?
I feel the same way and i dont know why
That’s the best way to describe it
i feel this same way because i feel happy remembering all the memories i had when this song was new, but i’m sad that those days are gone.
@@rogueowl3980 same, man I miss the early 2010s.......
You have to see "One day" film..you will understand..and the novel with the same name written by David Nicholls
I remember how I excessively danced to this song when I got a job offer after resigning from a previous job with an abusive boss!
Finish your school
Go to college
Finish the college
Find a good job
Find a girl to marry
Have kids
BULLSHIT!
LIFE CAN'T ALWAYS BE PERFECT, BUT IT'S YOUR LIFE. SPEND IT THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE!
girls are reading this too.girls marry girls i know that happens but still
Have kids
Finish your Job
Send Kids to College
Become a grandparent
Finish life
lol this reminds me of that one scene from Fight Club where Tyler Durden talks about the phone calls he makes to his dad after hitting life achievements and his dad just tells him to do the next one
On the contrary, unlucky things equally Your wonderful life
Thanks for you met unlucky things in your life
Driving alone at night with this song hits different
I'm in the car at night but not alone right now haha
Walking at night alone too
The same feelling
Facts make me think abt life just think man u live life once and it flys by so quick just yesterday I it felt like I was a kid and I'm 23 already it just makes me think abt all the things I have to enjoy every second of everyday cuz in reality everyone u love and that's around u will not be around at one points and one day your day will come and I just think please I just want to enjoy life and hope EVERYONE enjoys it every second i lost so many loved ones and it just makes me realize YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE
@@nlbgaming5262 I'm 23 too june 9
4 years ago I lost a close friend to me to cancer and he would whistle this song all the time and even in his final days he would jam out to this song and was grateful for the time he had to roam this earth . Rip Dan . I miss you and hope you’re still jamming to this song among the cosmos 🤍
You made me cry. I hope after all this you are well.
I cried. God bless 🙏🏽
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
RIP Dan🌠 nothing ends, a good life continues on somewhere
❤️
I remember being a kid and wishing I had a car. I would drive so fast and far away. Now I think I am in a car that just keeps going faster and faster with no way to slow it down. Enjoy life. It goes by way too fast. It is a good thing to be alive. The best that I can do is keep taking those mental pictures and hope I remember them.
OneRepublic + Coldplay + Imagine Dragons = Real freaking music!!
Your forgot to put bastille into that list.
Brilliant Observation
both coldplay and imagine dragons freaking suck now unfortunately.
They could name themselves "One Cold Dragon" or "Imagine Cold Republic"
Lukas Murmann in your mind
I have anxiety and panic attacks and during a particularly severe panic attack when I was 16/17 (while I was on an airplane) I had my earbuds in and this song came on and it literally snapped me out of the panic attack. My heart rate went back to normal pretty quick and I wasn't shallow breathing anymore.
I'm going to say it over and over again. Ryan Tedder works magic in the studios.
O
Love this comment! 💜
I use this song for the exact same reason, whenever my anxiety picks up and I can feel my heart start to go I play music. Usually this song first ❤
Simple enough to say good music good, good feeling
Hey, you! Yeah, you. You're gonna do awesome things, just you wait.
Thanks man and i hope you have a good life and good day
This comment made my night...God bless u
Thanks princess belle to a me👑
Nodel Oliver you too
Thanks to gave me some hopfull 😥😇⚘
OneRepublic never make a bad song.
For some reason, this song doesn’t stir any sad emotions in me like most songs that are nostalgic. It’s always kept me extremely optimistic no matter what happens. Gotta keep moving forward
well said!
Agreed
I appreciate you for helping me look at it like that. We should have a drink one day sir .
There is definitely a correlation between music, emotions, thoughts and memories. Honestly a huge percentage of music I listened to was negative as shit. I still enjoyed some of it but it definitely played a part in my mood and anxiety. Obviously I listen to other music or I wouldn't be on here, but this song helps with my depression and optimism.
Way back when stop and stare came out was the year my mom died and my girlfriend I loved was moving back home afte college 1000 miles away, so obviously I couldn't help but feel emotional listening to that I was a 23 year old with alcoholic tendencies losing people I love, leaving me sad, alone and depressed. Now when I hear that songs it is a better feeling. Memories of people and events that are still in my heart one way or another. The reason I am listening to this song right now at 37 is that deep depression and anxiety still take over my life sometimes you have to hear it from someone or something that life is a lot better than I credit it, trying not to let the negative consume me when there is so much good.
How I feel everyday when I woke up for school knowing I'm gonna see that 1 person I care about. I get to relive that feeling again in September and I love it :)
that's so me when I see that beautiful smile I think if she feels the same way about me and then she comes to talk and a second later were dating and it is a good life
I know how you feel I haven't seen my girlfriend all summer
ya
joel robinson well if you haven't seen your girlfriend all summer shes not really your girlfriend is she?i mean if shes your girlfriend you two should be going out talking chatting hanging out if you can take her out to the movies once in a while.

10 years later I can say this song helped me go through the darkest moments of my life and I got out stronger and better! There is light out of the tunnel and I can say I worked hard and built that good life. Proud of myself for never giving up this song gave me so much HOPE when I needed the most!
This song gives me lot of peace of mind and tells me life should be simple. Amazing song one republic. Can’t stop listening this marvelous song.
Intro 1/1 + Verse 1/3]
Woke up in London yesterday Found myself in the city near Piccadilly... Don't really know how I got here... I got some pictures on my phone.. New names and numbers that I don't know ...Address to places like Abbey Road... Day turns to night, night turns to whatever we want... We're young enough to say...
[Chorus 1/3]
Oh, this has gotta be the good life... This has gotta be the good life ...This could really be a good life, good life... I say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight.. Like this city is on fire tonight... This could really be a good life A good, good life..
[Verse 2/3]
To my friends in New York, I say hello ...My friends in L.A., they don't know ...Where I've been for the past few years or so... Paris to China to Colorado ..Sometimes there's airplanes I can't jump out... Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now ...We all got our stories, but please tell me -e - e - e- e... What there's to complain about ...
[Pre-Chorus 1/2] When you're happy like a fool ..Let it take you over... When everything is out... You gotta take it in ..

[Post-Chorus 1/2]
Oh, a good, good life Yeah Oh, oh...
[Bridge 1/1]
Hopelessly, I feel like there might be something that I'll miss...Hopelessly, I feel like the window closes, oh, so quick... Hopelessly...I'm taking a mental picture of you now.... 'Cause hopelessly, the hope is we have So much to feel good about...
[Chorus 3/3]
Oh, this has gotta be the good life... This has gotta be the good life ...This could really be a good life, good life... I say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight... Like this city is on fire tonight This could really be a good life A good, good life..

--> To OneRepuplic: Great Song, i sing these Song every Day near my outher Mucic-Genres : English,Italiano,French, Spanisch.. .! Thanks
I dedicated this song to my oldest son who I lost on his 20th bday. He had a good life and I miss him dearly
I'm a 20 year old daughter. I can only imagine what my mom would be like if I were gone 💔. Life is crazy and difficult, and can feel very long. But when I stop to listen to a message like in the song, I think back on my childhood and I initally have angry feelings about it. I feel like I've grown to appreciate even the tough areas because in the end, I think it were a pretty good life.
God bless you my Lord Jesus Christ is with us. ❤🙏🏾 He's in our hearts and watching us from the Sky's God Bless ❤
🙏🏽💙🕊️

God bless
The whistle part is 👌👌😍😍

Give your best

Listened to this in elementary. A marriage and my first son later.... I'm back as an adult.
No one cares what year you are watching this just listen to this beautiful masterpiece...
2019 anyone? Jk dont get mad its just a joke.
Bob and Pk 😂
100 Percent agreed
Chill Sponge,
It seems like at this point, people saying "We don't care what year you're listening to this in" is a cliche for UA-cam comment sections. Sometimes we do care. People ask who're curious just how many fans have held on to the song and never forgotten over the years. It's a good thing.
@@mikeweber9950 no it's not a good thing, dopey. Its fucking obnoxious and annoying when every other comment is some idiot saying the same thing just fishing for likes to fill there sad lonely egos...
Dealing with depression. This song makes me happy :)
+The Overlord Hey depression is not just a mental illness, every day people can get depression! Hell i had it when my mother passed away almost 2 mouths ago and it still comes back every once in a while!
That's not depression, that's sadness. It's only put that way because of exaggeration.
+The Overlord lol Maybe take a grammar lesson before talkin shit?
The Overlord Talkin' is not misspelled if you are from the south that is how we say Talking and that is how we spell it so there was no need to correct Sebastian on that
First off, english is not mine either its no excuse. Of course ive seen those girls but you said that you have to have a "mental illness" to be depressed. Its kinda like saying "your arm cant be in pain cause u dont have a cast" its bullshit. But if you say people can be mentally ill some periods of their lifes i agree
It feels like yesterday this song came out wish I could bring those good days back😭😥
me too my good old awesome days are now gone );
blitzgodgaming gaming we got nothing to blame but ourselves...
novie boclongan i know
I believe your good days are still ahead. Keep living my friend and those good days will come to you

It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.
Who's hoping for a good life in 2020?
I am
2019 wasn’t bad, but it certainly wasn’t good for me. I’m hoping next year will pay out for all the bad stuff that happened this year.
One can only hope...
Welcome 2020 😊
i know 2020 will be good ,skinny love
i still think that 2011 was 2 years ago. Time passes by fast. I remember listening to this when i was younger with no goals. But now i'm getting my first diploma.
***** i don't want to get a job. Simply because i don't have time.
you got your frist deploma! very well super good job and i remeber when i was 5 years old and now i got to have a good life cuase of this song (:
blitzgodgaming gaming Actually, to get that diploma is just tiring. Having to study 104 chapters all combined together. Plus having to revise 104 exams. Yep. Well i'm not the kind of human that can study one chapter in one hour but i'm sure gonna do it. Hope the best for you.
Lorna Turner really thanks man you know i can tell you came be come a great leader and thank you
also when i do very risky things i think about this song and it makes me the best kid i can ever be and right now iam super licky cuase i live in las vagas and there was a iheart raido and i got to meet them and i told all the things about the song and they told me to go with them and they sing this song to me and it was the best day of my life
ahhhh😣...everyday and every time in and every night I get depression and tension and anger and sadness and I get hurt with th words of my DAD....the way he hurts my mom...and the way he hurts us...it's been 20+ years but it still hasn't changed....and I really hope I get a good life in my future....I am 21 now but I pray...to Jesus that I get a good life.....and this song is directly pierced on me
I hope things go well for you in the future 😁👍
One day there’ll be things that’ll go for you it’s the way things work you just have to stay strong bold inside have a little faith one day you’ll move you and try holding a little on for your mom and words hurt let it all go either write and burn or just blurt out to him let him know or if that doesn’t work just know it never will matter to him so just shut your ears away till you find someway.i hope you do someday ♥️ hold on stay strong try to be optimistic and you will fly too
Ishani Mukherjee than you sooo much....😢
I wish you the best buddy

Can't believe this song is 12 years old, feels like yesterday.

Dear my older self who listened to this masterpiece, know that I am here on a quarter life and I made it!! This has gotta be the good life they sang

same here one of my favorites
I used to listen to this when I was deep into depression and anxiety. This would make it 1% better. That was very huge for me.
I am now back to being my real self. And as I listen to this, I feel so proud for being optimistic and believing and persisting. If I can do it, anyone can do it :)
Happy for you ❤️ keep it up
So happy for u 🥺 u can do anything 🥰
Way to be! Love yourself and appreciate life and it's all good! You got it down
I can relate, with my first diagnosis of breast cancer I seemed to hear this song all the time "2014".
2nd diagnosis stage 4, still a good song.
