@@jayargee492 Agreed would pay real money to see that. Couldn't find it, but found this small Danny speech during a live show and it's also extremely heartwarming and Danny is also clearly about to cry during the crowd chant ua-cam.com/video/mRp6ZCsTrc8/v-deo.html
Also based on that childhood pic at the end there really is a super strong resemblance. It must have been really cathartic for Danny shooting this song, and that really comes across in its authenticity. Such a wonderful song.
Ninja Brian does not age and never did. He came out of the womb C-section and slashed his own umbilical cord, choked the doctor and nurses with it and gave everyone the finger.
Can’t back this up with an episode but I vaguely remember dan saying on game grumps that in his early music life, he felt like everybody had accomplished great things by his age so he felt that he needed to catch up. But it’s so awesome that he’s saying to his past self that he didn’t need to rush anything because it was all going to work out in the end.
@@JetJockey87 absolutely! I just believe that a lot of people tend to think things like “I can’t be an amazing (blank) like that, that person has been doing it since they were little. How can I ever be that good?”. But it really is never too late to pursue your dreams and passions!
He's not a "friend" so much as "He will probably kill Danny last when he's out of other people to kill"....which I guess is as close to a friend as you get with a psychopath ninja.
@Purple Booty - Also, he didn't meet Ninja Brian until he was an adult. So even though Ninja Brian was always watching over him in spirit, Danny didn't know!
Knowing that the legendary Dan Avidan took until 29 to get out of his awkward phase definitely helps me feel more hopeful about the fact that I’m 19 and still feel like a lost, alienated guy. Like I’m gonna be 20 soon and I still feel like I’m not going anywhere. Thank you Danny Sexbang.
Dude, I'm 26, aspiring to be a musician, and only just starting to learn to read music. We all go at our own pace. You have the time that you are given. Use it how YOU see fit. No day but today, buddy.
From a 25 year old-you never really change, you just slowly, little by little, get better at being you. If you look back on stuff you did two years ago and cringe, congrats! That means you've grown a little, and that's honestly all that matters.
@@typacsk All I've learned is that most of us are one tiny disaster away from turning into monsters or falling apart, and that for most there's no hope of being awesome except on the inside, alone.
I first heard this song when it was barely released. I was a struggling college student going through depression, totalled my car, got arrested for a DUI and the lowest I've ever been. I'm now a software engineer, at a great company, make good pay, married, and the happiest I've ever been. Just know your time will come too you just gotta keep at it even when you are at your lowest
Markiplier: I only have one condition, i dont wanna wear pants Danny: thats cool, centaurs dont wear pants anyway Mark: also topless. Danny: i... okay?
This song becomes even more powerful when you think about Danny talking about his history of depression and OCD and overcoming it, so just thinking about him going to his past self and telling himself to keep his head up is so inspiring and beautiful.
I still think back to that fucking Wind Waker episode (19 now that I think about it) when he talked about throwing his prozac bottle into a lake in France. *shivers*
It feels a lot like that. I think it's cottoning on with people so much because ALL of us would like to be able to tell our younger selves that it's all going to be okay, even if we're not "there" just yet.
Honestly, I wish I was strong enough to just bounce back from tons of shit like Dan. He talks about all these things he went through, but here he is still bouncing around all happy and shit. Maybe that's an act, but I really hope he is just that happy.
How is a song simultaneously hilarious and also so emotionally moving at the same time? When you successfully produce a song that is both funny and unironically fantastic at the same time, you've gota 10/10 masterpiece. Love this song.
I think the comedy is part of WHY it's so good. That the song is making jokes about how weird or awkward he is throughout it makes it more of a "bro" song, where your friends are cheering you up while ribbing you. It's also unique in that way. By not sugarcoating the dorkiness it also makes it feel more genuine when it says you're great. "You're still a nerdy kid inside, but now you've finally found your tribe!"
This song is hardcore real. This isn't NSP's normal sound, but I think it's something Danny HAD to write. If you follow Danny on Grumps, or even have listened to any of the plentiful "best of" compilations, you know that Danny had a tough time getting into the music business, but he tried his best always until it finally worked out for him. This is more real than it is funny or satirical. There are humorous elements, but this is Danny looking back at his past and being thankful he made it. I'm sure there were tough patches out there for him, like there are for all of us. Dan Avidan is the prime example of someone who never gave up on his dreams and carved a path doing what he fucking loved, even in the worst of times. This song is actually fucking inspiring to the point where I'm tearing up thinking back to it. We've all been in young Danny's shoes, and some of us are still fighting the fight to make it to where we can be a rockstar. Fighting through the worst shit life has to throw at us. But Danny's living proof that if we work hard and never stop doing what we love, we'll get there. This song actually touched me, not in the normal NSP NSFW way, but in a way that hits me right in the emotions. It also shows Danny is fucking balling at writing more serious songs. I don't want NSP to go anywhere, but this song is proof that if NSP ever branched into more serious material, they would have talent to do so.
Your comment is right on the money. This has the feel of something that may have just started as a therapeutic letter to one's younger self, turned into a song, turned into probably NSP's best song to date. It's funny, though, that this will be on the same album as Cool Patrol and many other silly songs.
I'm a straight man, but still i love danny, as much as a straight man can love another man he has never actually met in person and doesn't plan to ever meet in person. He a cool dude and story is so relate-able. He's a important figure in many peoples lives at this point.
45 year old therapist here. I'm a powerlifter, I do MMA cage fighting with weapons as a hobby and teach martial arts, I have 3 goruck toughs under my belt, I volunteer as a SAR responder for the local sherrif's department, and I earned a bachelor's and Master's Degree in Psychology while working as a single dad and struggling with ADHD. I'm a certified badass. I showed this to a client of mine who needed to see it, and it really helped her. After she left, I went back into my office and broke down and cried because of how hard it hit for me. I wasn't diagnosed with ADHD until I was in my 20's. I was always the weird kid who was constantly underachieving. I didn't truly start to come into my own until 29. It made me hard as fuck on the inside. Such a great song. I wish I could play it for my 12 year old self. If you're here, and you're struggling, from one badass to another, I hope you take the song to heart. Find your tribe. Ask for help if you need to. Trust that someday, you'll step into your own power, whatever that means for you. If it's MMA, or being a spandex butterfly, just understand that OWNING who you are is the most badass thing you can ever do.
My step-daughter is going through a hard time right now (socially/mentally/physically/puberty is a bitch). As someone who also struggled from "12-29" I have been feeling inclined to share this song with her as it's something that I wish I had growing up. You have reaffirmed my instinct to share this with her. Also, I will be stealing your phrasing of "OWNING who you are is the most badass thing you can ever do. Thank you.
Damn. I'm going on 30. Healthcare professional (ER tech for 6 years and MA internal med for 3 now), little over halfway to my black belt in judo, diagnosed with ADHD at 25. It's really encouraging to see someone so similar who's doing well. Because a lot of the time I don't feel like I'm getting anywhere. I'm really glad I saw this comment.
@@user-ry9wp9gx7iyes! I just made Full Dog Brother this year and became a 2nd rank instructor in dog brothers martial arts. Full Dog Brother is the equivalent of a BJJ black belt for us. You only get it by hard contact sparring. It took me ten years to earn it. Get after it man!
Yeah, it is still sort of comedic with the whole “hot as fuck on the inside” stuff but it actually is a meaningful song. (Not to say that their songs aren’t meaningful am i right)
my name is also danny and ive struggled nearly my entire life with suicidal and depressive thoughts, so when they released this song, it meant a lot to me; still does even now three years later.
we share the same name. :) I too have depression and am bipolar. I didn't even know this song existed until recently but to have him singing about "me" and how I felt all through school and even in my 20s and 30s was very powerful. And to be reminded I'm "cool as fuck" is very sweet, I love it.
my name isn’t danny, but you’re not alone struggling with suicidal thoughts and depression! i’m so glad to see you make it man, and seeing others fight this curse means that it’s doable, and we can beat this shit. much love man, life gets better
Possibly the most amazing part is when Danny tells himself to shake it off after everybody says he cries and cries. A nuance about how he still has his troubles and issues as an adult, but has grown mature enough to know how to handle things.
It’s very human. Most of these songs want to come across the idea of the person changing to be perfect. Dan decided to show that even in the awesome future you won’t be perfect, just better. I like that.
Cody Hendrickson Only issue is that Danny isn't the *best* actor. He's serviceable. Maybe I just haven't seen him in enough stuff to know the extent of his talents, I don't know.
3:56 I think is still one of the most powerful and emotional lyrics I’ve heard. It’s not outwardly emotional but you can feel every bit of emotion emitting from Danny as he belts it out.
an accurate representation of being a bullied cynical teenager meeting your future self who is in a skintight suit. Before you realize that oh shit they make way more money than you saw yourself making in your 30s.
The line about the birthday invitations actually had me break down crying when I first heard it. When I turned 13, I told my mom I outgrew birthday parties. In reality, I was just terrified that no one from school would come if I invited them. Everyone has that wish at least once in their life, to go back in time and change something they were unhappy about. But to go back to give that sad little girl a hug, and tell her that everything will be ok, that it's ok to let it out and cry. Sometimes I wish it was possible, but the best we can do now is help others that are facing the same struggles and know that seeking out help when you need it isn't a sign of weakness, but strength.
I know it's been a year since you made this comment, but I felt that. I wish I could sit down with my teenage self and tell him everything he needed to hear. Let him know it's okay to not really fit in, it's okay to ask for help with anything, even the seemingly small things. Tell him to not be afraid of failure or rejection. That everything will be okay in time. I kept a lot to myself as a teen when I really should have let it out.
It’s been a year since you commented this but oh well, this honestly makes me feel really comforted. I’m 14 and feel alone a lot and it’s honestly really nice to know the way I’m feeling isn’t just me.
Man if you listen to some of the grumps episodes, you can hear that Danny was clearly unhappy for some, if not most, of his life. But that dude has the biggest heart, and if he can get through it, you can too. 💛
Agreed... Probably the one quote from him that'll stick with me forever is: *"I'm just so happy now, all the fucking time, because I know what it's like to be sad."* It's optimistic and empowering, just like the man himself.
I’ve shown this to my 14 yr old son and he cried and hugged me and said “thank you mommy.” NSP will always have a special place in my heart. They already did, but they helped my son get that I understood him. I was an unpopular nerd girl in school. They connected us in a way only music can. Forever Grateful. And, my first name is Dana. Not hard to switch from Danny lol.
The fact the song about Danny "making it" stars a famous child actor, has an amazing band doing the track, and has a professional quality music video is just...perfect. No matter what anyone says, no one can take this away from Danny. This song just makes me happy. I'm so happy he made it, I'm happy that the struggles were worth it for him, I'm happy that it happened to such a kind soul. Thank you for this Dan. Take your well deserved victory lap, your tribe will cheer you the whole way.
Finn was a great choice for young Danny. Aside from that though, what an inspirational song! It didn't even have to sacrifice any of the usual NSP charm, and it still rocked!
I remember listening to this song in middle school back when it came out. I found NSP through Game Grumps, and I've been hooked ever since. I'm graduating high school this year. There are still times that I feel like an outcast and a fuck-up, but knowing one of the people who made me laugh when I was going through the worst time in my life felt the same and still found his place in the world gives me hope. In a world that may never understand who I am, it gives me hope that I can find a place for me. This song means so much to me. Thank you, Dan and Brian.
Shit. I remember them playing this at the concert in Atlanta 2017. They asked for no videos and amazingly everyone complied. But I wanted a picture and my phone was about to die and I wiggled it the wrong way and the flashlight came on. Immediately I got panicked until I saw another light. And another. And the whole crowd had an amazing light surfing wave going on. And afterwards he said to us, "that was so beautiful...that's something in this line of work you tell your grandkids when they ask of your Glory days." Or something to that effect. And I just thought how fitting, an 'almost' panic attack made Danny say that.
We had a similar agreement when we heard it as they played in Denver that same year, it was a beautiful song to hear in person and the sheer enthusiasm and acceptance flowing from the crowd was nothing short of astonishing.
I'm 21 and I still need a kickass spandex version of me from the future to burst into my classroom and sing a rock ballad about how cool I am and how things will turn out fine. But until the universe makes that happen, I'll just have to trust/believe the coolness is inside me, blossoming at its own pace.
100%! Production value is through the roof and the shot of Danny with the color changing stars around him where the instrumentals cut out give me the chills.
The story of how a dorky kid who everyone shat on became a badass comedy-musician/comedian who can wear bright blue spandex in 2019 without making it look tacky while also being part of a hit UA-cam series with a guy who yells a lot but still has a big, squishy heart under all of that sass. Rock on Danny Sexbang Avidan. Rock on *wipes tear*
This is mean. I got made fun of like this all the time when I made cartoons and it fucking sucked. It didn’t give me a thick skin or make me a better artist or make me think more about what I was doing, it just hurt.
New favourite NSP song maybe... This song isn't very "NSP" but I really feel like Danny had to make it. It's so true to his life and the struggles he went through, I'm surprised there isn't a verse about smoking weed and playing Morrowind
Danny don't you know you'll feel lost like you're a failure and you'll smoke a buncha weed in a place called Morrowind thinkin' you've got to have a rewind but be sure in a few years you'll find just what you need Danny don't you know Danny don't you know
Just for conversation sake: while i agree that it's a more wholesome song (and not their regular raunchy goodness), i feel like NSP has established themselves as being able to do more serious music, like with their covers. As long as they still carry the same feeling, i think it is all good. What do you think?
countessli Personally I think there's two sides to NSP (and they're both great) - the silly sex and fantasy side and the more serious covers band. This is the first song when both sides have intertwined, since it's a serious song but isn't a cover. That said, it's still great, it's just new to me and I'm not quite sure where it fits in yet.
I love reading through these comments and seeing how many people share a verse that hit them hard, really resonates with them - but that it's not the same verse for everyone. There are so many amazing and powerful lines in one silly-on-the-surface song. That's what makes this such a sincerely great song. The line that gets me is 1:57 "Danny don't you know that everyone feels weird on the inside" - the way he says it... I really needed to hear that. But there are a dozen other lines in this one song that other people feel the same way about: - 1:35 "Send Birthday invites and now all your friend is here" - 1:50 "You're just going through an awkward phase from 12 to 29" - 2:37 "No one cares that your 35" - 2:48 "You're still a nerdy kid inside, but now you finally found your tribe" - 3:55 "Now it's time to rock the show, come on, you are a star tonight" I mean come on, I can't think of many songs that speak to the listener in so many lines. I could quote more, but then I'd just be posting essentially all the lyrics... Danny says it best "... don't you know that you kick so much ass on the inside?" What an awesome anthem for what almost everyone has felt in their life at some point. Thanks for this song NSP, clearly, we all needed to hear this.
I had no idea he was older than me. I've been getting depressed at being 40. I figured that life didn't really hold much new for me anymore and was really getting in a dark place. Seeing Danny here, though, just living the way he wants to and being happy and well-loved makes me feel so much better.
Is it just me or musically the band grew by leaps and bounds? And i'm not only talking production. Silly theme or not, this song was solid music writing. Congratz to the boys from NSP.
adding TWRP seriously took them to the next level. I like their older stuff, but musically its so much better now its almost a little hard to go back to and listen to it.
I came home to a house full of women last night (wife, mother in law, niece etc) playing songs to each other with the goal of making one of them cry. Not a tear to be seen. I played this song and wept like a newborn. 20 stone of 6 foot bearded unit for reference. No regrets whatsoever. I wish this song had been around when I was 12
They should make Brian don't you know. It should be an instrumental of Ninja Brian staring at a slightly smaller NB for 4 solid minutes. With maybe some random murders in the background or something
Everybody talks about the being a nerd in high school, which is important, but the line that hits me the most is "you're just going through an awkward phase from 12 to 29" because that, more than anything else, just makes me feel that it all takes time. Through broken hearts and abandoned ambitions, it just takes time.
Aaron Larson Seriously. I’m way out of High School and for awhile thought “well shit I guess this is just who I’ll be for life.” I thought I was destined to spend my life hating myself and having no ambitions. But this song gave me hope... which is all I could really ask for.
I’m turning 29 in a few days, and I’m listening to this song on repeat. I’m looking forward to the end of my awkward phase. Dan and Brian are so inspiring to me. They’re proof that you don’t have to have life figured out at 20 and that your dreams don’t have an expiration date.
Brian is a wrathful, omnipotent, Lovecraftian, immortal entity that Danny Sexbang somehow finagled into being bound by contract to become his sleepless guardian across time and space.
Seriously this is one of my favorite NSP songs for a million reasons, but can we take a moment to think about a fully grown man in blue spandex and a cape appearing before a young boy and immediately telling him not to cry.
The one image that gives me chills is like that two second clip of Finn and Danny dancing in the dark together but with the same movements and it just hits me. For your successful future self to dance with the awkward and nervous younger you is so wholesome and wonderful and something I wish I got to do when I was in middle school. Rock on Future Me.
Carlos Baez Jr. the scene where he says you’re a star tonight hits me also, showing that everything he’ll work for is worth it because he’ll get tons of support
Triplestrife that ones great because the third verse is still about Danny but it’s also like “It’s not just me, all of us here are great we just need to seize it” So we are all the star tonight, all that’s left is for us to rock out
I know this song came out 4 years ago (wow), but I decided to come back and listen to it and genuinely cried. I'm in a really rough spot and trying to figure out who I want to be in life, but I look up to Danny a whole lot. He's fearless, kind, genuine, everything anyone could ever aspire to be. It gives me the motivation to keep going and I'm super grateful for it. Keep rocking on, NSP.
"You're still a nerdy kid inside, but now you've finally found your tribe" Literally the best line of the song, made me tear up because isn't that what we all just want
I got a cameo done from Danny on Cameo and he sang this song at the end but with my name instead of Danny and I didn't even ask him to, it was the greatest thing ever. Best amount of money I've ever spent.
@@CurlysSketchbook I'd bet anything that's an important thing for him, personally, to be able to do. This is the message he exists to pass on. Did I mention this song saved my life when I was wanting to die during my deployment?
Damn it! now I want a music video About an older Danny played by Weird Al coming back in time to tell Dan of how he inspires millions of people every day, and then Finn, Dan, and Al all rock out on set together and make the best music video of all time. But until then... this one holds that crown. Holy shit its so good.
They're big enough that they should be able to make it work, scheduling tho. Al would be amazing with Danny thanks now I'm in anticipation until this happens
As a 27 year old who's still trying to figure out who I want to be in life and was feeling like it's too late for me to do anything great, The lines "you're just going through an awkward phase from 12 to 29" and "no one cares that you're 35" really hit hard. Really feels like maybe there's still time for me to figure it out after all. UPDATE: It's been about a year since I commented this, and it's been great seeing responses from all the other people that the song resonated with as well. I just wanted to say: I've now got a part time job while also working as an independent artist, and I am loving what I'm doing. I started a youtube channel (not this one) after putting it off for a long time out of fear, and have been having so much fun doing something that I was originally feeling like I missed the boat on. It's really only too late if you don't try.
This song really hit home to me a lot. I've been playing in local punk bands since I was 18, and I never really felt truly comfortable with myself unless I was onstage yelling into a mic. I was a weird kid, and now I'm a weird adult - but music always makes me feel like I belong.
I'm so glad NSP is finally getting the milestones it deserved to hit years ago, trending on UA-cam, having 1 million+ subs, having actors in their videos, video quality went through the roof, and universal support from the fans. Shout-out to everyone who's been here since he just wanted to dance all those years ago 🤘
Oh, wow. Looking at Baby Brian, you just KNEW that kid would grow up to be a brilliant scientist, a brilliant comedian, or a serial killer. And he went with Option D: all of the above.
I met danny a few days before he premiered this at a concert for the first time. When I met him he was completely a normal person and seemed still grateful and genuinely surprised when someone recognized him in person and told him they appreciated his work and art. You can tell he is genuinely still that nerdy kid but that he is so incredibly happy with his success and loves his fans. Please if you see him dont hesitate to let him know hes awesome because I can tell it truly makes him happy.
I was in a bad place when my best friend showed me this song. It filled me with hope and just truly means a lot to me. It showed me that you need to find your self worth and to never give up on yourself. I can't thank you guys enough for writing this song

Ninja Brian has always been!
Ninja Brian does not age and never did. He came out of the womb C-section and slashed his own umbilical cord, choked the doctor and nurses with it and gave everyone the finger.
He's a ninja so he actually came out of the womb without the anyone noticing, not the doctors and not even his own mother ninja.

Well you become a wizard at 30 if you're still a virgin so awkward doesnt really fit all that well.

Getting Finn to play young Danny is the best casting choice that has ever been made.
Nicolae Holley
Nah.
Wolfhard as young Snape/Kylo Ren would be even better.
He actually looked just like the pic of young Danny to me
Finn?
Nah fam, Kevin as male classmate XD
Nicolae Holley very true
''and now all your friend is here''
best line ever
I first heard this song when it was barely released. I was a struggling college student going through depression, totalled my car, got arrested for a DUI and the lowest I've ever been. I'm now a software engineer, at a great company, make good pay, married, and the happiest I've ever been. Just know your time will come too you just gotta keep at it even when you are at your lowest
They had to show a picture of Brian at age 11 rather than 13 cus he already had a PHD by then.
u wot m8 i think it is because he is most self conscious in that picture
r/woooosh
That’s really funny 😂
I think its because he was a ninja by age 13 so they couldn't find him
pretty hard dick amirite
Danny: "hey markiplier"
Markiplier: "yeah?"
Danny: "You wanna be a centaur?"
Markiplier: "sure"
ME: "What are 'Words you never thought would be said in that particular order', Alex?"
TREBECK: "Correct for a thousand!"
^_^
Danny: hey Nate
Nate: yeah?
Danny: Wanna call Finn Wolfhard a bitch?
Nate: Hell yeah
Markiplier: I only have one condition, i dont wanna wear pants
Danny: thats cool, centaurs dont wear pants anyway
Mark: also topless.
Danny: i... okay?
Brendon Hawkins despite this being a joke i image that's exactly how it happened
It's his chance of being taller than everyone else.
This song becomes even more powerful when you think about Danny talking about his history of depression and OCD and overcoming it, so just thinking about him going to his past self and telling himself to keep his head up is so inspiring and beautiful.
Alexia Barrow it really is. This is such a beautiful song
I still think back to that fucking Wind Waker episode (19 now that I think about it) when he talked about throwing his prozac bottle into a lake in France. *shivers*
It feels a lot like that. I think it's cottoning on with people so much because ALL of us would like to be able to tell our younger selves that it's all going to be okay, even if we're not "there" just yet.
Honestly, I wish I was strong enough to just bounce back from tons of shit like Dan. He talks about all these things he went through, but here he is still bouncing around all happy and shit. Maybe that's an act, but I really hope he is just that happy.
you will be
How is a song simultaneously hilarious and also so emotionally moving at the same time? When you successfully produce a song that is both funny and unironically fantastic at the same time, you've gota 10/10 masterpiece. Love this song.
Also this song kept me alive in 2020
around these parts we call it a 10/10 masterstroke
I think the comedy is part of WHY it's so good. That the song is making jokes about how weird or awkward he is throughout it makes it more of a "bro" song, where your friends are cheering you up while ribbing you. It's also unique in that way. By not sugarcoating the dorkiness it also makes it feel more genuine when it says you're great. "You're still a nerdy kid inside, but now you've finally found your tribe!"
"You're just going through an awkward phase from 12 to 29"
I'm 26 and I feel this
Me too thanks.
I'm 30 and I feel this.
Skoringo I'm only 23 and I feel it.

This song is hardcore real. This isn't NSP's normal sound, but I think it's something Danny HAD to write. If you follow Danny on Grumps, or even have listened to any of the plentiful "best of" compilations, you know that Danny had a tough time getting into the music business, but he tried his best always until it finally worked out for him. This is more real than it is funny or satirical. There are humorous elements, but this is Danny looking back at his past and being thankful he made it. I'm sure there were tough patches out there for him, like there are for all of us. Dan Avidan is the prime example of someone who never gave up on his dreams and carved a path doing what he fucking loved, even in the worst of times. This song is actually fucking inspiring to the point where I'm tearing up thinking back to it. We've all been in young Danny's shoes, and some of us are still fighting the fight to make it to where we can be a rockstar. Fighting through the worst shit life has to throw at us. But Danny's living proof that if we work hard and never stop doing what we love, we'll get there. This song actually touched me, not in the normal NSP NSFW way, but in a way that hits me right in the emotions. It also shows Danny is fucking balling at writing more serious songs. I don't want NSP to go anywhere, but this song is proof that if NSP ever branched into more serious material, they would have talent to do so.
Your comment is right on the money. This has the feel of something that may have just started as a therapeutic letter to one's younger self, turned into a song, turned into probably NSP's best song to date. It's funny, though, that this will be on the same album as Cool Patrol and many other silly songs.
It’s also amazing how this song was released on his fifth Danniversary with as a Grump. He made it.
One of the best comments I saw on a NSP video was "Dan has finally become the 80's rockstar that he always wanted to be"
When is this going to be on hard back book
I'm a straight man, but still i love danny, as much as a straight man can love another man he has never actually met in person and doesn't plan to ever meet in person. He a cool dude and story is so relate-able. He's a important figure in many peoples lives at this point.
Finn dressed as Danny is something that i never thought i needed but i definitely did
Fucking honestly

45 year old therapist here. I'm a powerlifter, I do MMA cage fighting with weapons as a hobby and teach martial arts, I have 3 goruck toughs under my belt, I volunteer as a SAR responder for the local sherrif's department, and I earned a bachelor's and Master's Degree in Psychology while working as a single dad and struggling with ADHD. I'm a certified badass.
I showed this to a client of mine who needed to see it, and it really helped her. After she left, I went back into my office and broke down and cried because of how hard it hit for me.
I wasn't diagnosed with ADHD until I was in my 20's. I was always the weird kid who was constantly underachieving. I didn't truly start to come into my own until 29.
It made me hard as fuck on the inside. Such a great song. I wish I could play it for my 12 year old self.
If you're here, and you're struggling, from one badass to another, I hope you take the song to heart. Find your tribe. Ask for help if you need to. Trust that someday, you'll step into your own power, whatever that means for you. If it's MMA, or being a spandex butterfly, just understand that OWNING who you are is the most badass thing you can ever do.
My step-daughter is going through a hard time right now (socially/mentally/physically/puberty is a bitch). As someone who also struggled from "12-29" I have been feeling inclined to share this song with her as it's something that I wish I had growing up. You have reaffirmed my instinct to share this with her. Also, I will be stealing your phrasing of "OWNING who you are is the most badass thing you can ever do. Thank you.
Damn. I'm going on 30. Healthcare professional (ER tech for 6 years and MA internal med for 3 now), little over halfway to my black belt in judo, diagnosed with ADHD at 25. It's really encouraging to see someone so similar who's doing well. Because a lot of the time I don't feel like I'm getting anywhere. I'm really glad I saw this comment.

This thread is in some desperate need of proper recognition of the lovely Cinnamon roll that is Mica Burton.
This is possibly the best original song they've made. Their comedy songs are great but this is actually a great song and I'd love to hear more.
TheRedneckRoman16 exactly. I love all their work, but to have a song I can relate to on a deep level is wonderful!
Yeah, it is still sort of comedic with the whole “hot as fuck on the inside” stuff but it actually is a meaningful song. (Not to say that their songs aren’t meaningful am i right)
I do love how they stick to their roots though and keep a bit of comedy in. It wouldn’t be NSP without it no matter how serious the message is.
The harmonies on "Come on, you are a star tonight" never fails to just give me goosebumps all over. Danny Avidan you brilliant man.
You put it into words
It makes my hair stand on end and I love it so much so powerful
I agree, awesome song. And over 10 million views in just 2 years. 😮
For me it's "Here the crowd roar, give em what they came for" but honestly it's whole song
My favorite is the very end with the echo of Danny don’t you know. And as it’s slowly fading away, it just hits in the feels
my name is also danny and ive struggled nearly my entire life with suicidal and depressive thoughts, so when they released this song, it meant a lot to me; still does even now three years later.
we share the same name. :) I too have depression and am bipolar. I didn't even know this song existed until recently but to have him singing about "me" and how I felt all through school and even in my 20s and 30s was very powerful. And to be reminded I'm "cool as fuck" is very sweet, I love it.
im proud of you for making it so far stay strong man
my name isn’t danny, but you’re not alone struggling with suicidal thoughts and depression! i’m so glad to see you make it man, and seeing others fight this curse means that it’s doable, and we can beat this shit. much love man, life gets better
I hope you are doing well 🖤
Hey fellow Danny, I feel the same, I hope that a year later you're kicking ass and feeling better. Stay awesome Dannys!
Possibly the most amazing part is when Danny tells himself to shake it off after everybody says he cries and cries.
A nuance about how he still has his troubles and issues as an adult, but has grown mature enough to know how to handle things.
That's the goal. He really gets it
i hadn't even thought of that..
love it though
It’s very human. Most of these songs want to come across the idea of the person changing to be perfect. Dan decided to show that even in the awesome future you won’t be perfect, just better. I like that.
"Hey I am Dan,
I am also Dan,
Daaaaaaaaaaaann."
I laughed so hard when I read this comment. gg

Rumpatump Boobadoop I like "Lil Bang" better
Sadly it just says "Young Danny"... not good enough
I rallied for Danny to play Older Richie in IT Chapter 2 but this works too
Yes to everything
Yes to all of this
They need to make a pact where they always represent each other's time passage in media
That would still be perfect
Replacing adult Elliot with Danny Sexbang would make the cluster fuck that is the second half of IT way better.
I agree
Cody Hendrickson Only issue is that Danny isn't the *best* actor. He's serviceable. Maybe I just haven't seen him in enough stuff to know the extent of his talents, I don't know.
3:56 I think is still one of the most powerful and emotional lyrics I’ve heard. It’s not outwardly emotional but you can feel every bit of emotion emitting from Danny as he belts it out.
Finn Wolfard and 13 year old danny look almost identical, good casting
Who are you? What do you want? Not to mention great genetics and timing
Nerdy Muffins are they related?

Same! It gives me chills every time
I always thought it was "Now you finally found your stride" guess my ears don't work
The line about the birthday invitations actually had me break down crying when I first heard it. When I turned 13, I told my mom I outgrew birthday parties. In reality, I was just terrified that no one from school would come if I invited them. Everyone has that wish at least once in their life, to go back in time and change something they were unhappy about. But to go back to give that sad little girl a hug, and tell her that everything will be ok, that it's ok to let it out and cry. Sometimes I wish it was possible, but the best we can do now is help others that are facing the same struggles and know that seeking out help when you need it isn't a sign of weakness, but strength.
Be the person you needed when you were young.
I know it's been a year since you made this comment, but I felt that. I wish I could sit down with my teenage self and tell him everything he needed to hear. Let him know it's okay to not really fit in, it's okay to ask for help with anything, even the seemingly small things. Tell him to not be afraid of failure or rejection. That everything will be okay in time.
I kept a lot to myself as a teen when I really should have let it out.
It’s been a year since you commented this but oh well, this honestly makes me feel really comforted. I’m 14 and feel alone a lot and it’s honestly really nice to know the way I’m feeling isn’t just me.
I'm actually blown away by how much 13 y/o Danny really looks like Finn Wolfhard.

Man if you listen to some of the grumps episodes, you can hear that Danny was clearly unhappy for some, if not most, of his life. But that dude has the biggest heart, and if he can get through it, you can too. 💛
Agreed... Probably the one quote from him that'll stick with me forever is:
*"I'm just so happy now, all the fucking time, because I know what it's like to be sad."*
It's optimistic and empowering, just like the man himself.

I’ve shown this to my 14 yr old son and he cried and hugged me and said “thank you mommy.” NSP will always have a special place in my heart. They already did, but they helped my son get that I understood him. I was an unpopular nerd girl in school. They connected us in a way only music can. Forever Grateful. And, my first name is Dana. Not hard to switch from Danny lol.
Weirdos gotta stick together.
The fact the song about Danny "making it" stars a famous child actor, has an amazing band doing the track, and has a professional quality music video is just...perfect.
No matter what anyone says, no one can take this away from Danny. This song just makes me happy. I'm so happy he made it, I'm happy that the struggles were worth it for him, I'm happy that it happened to such a kind soul.
Thank you for this Dan. Take your well deserved victory lap, your tribe will cheer you the whole way.
Amen
I don't think an NSP song has genuinely warmed my heart like this ever
You clearly haven't heard No Reason Boner. If that doesn't warm your heart, you're deade inside.
What about peppermint creams
EyeOfTheLauren I don’t know man Road trip hit pretty close to home
Finn was a great choice for young Danny. Aside from that though, what an inspirational song! It didn't even have to sacrifice any of the usual NSP charm, and it still rocked!
I remember listening to this song in middle school back when it came out. I found NSP through Game Grumps, and I've been hooked ever since. I'm graduating high school this year. There are still times that I feel like an outcast and a fuck-up, but knowing one of the people who made me laugh when I was going through the worst time in my life felt the same and still found his place in the world gives me hope. In a world that may never understand who I am, it gives me hope that I can find a place for me. This song means so much to me. Thank you, Dan and Brian.
Shit. I remember them playing this at the concert in Atlanta 2017. They asked for no videos and amazingly everyone complied. But I wanted a picture and my phone was about to die and I wiggled it the wrong way and the flashlight came on. Immediately I got panicked until I saw another light. And another. And the whole crowd had an amazing light surfing wave going on. And afterwards he said to us, "that was so beautiful...that's something in this line of work you tell your grandkids when they ask of your Glory days." Or something to that effect. And I just thought how fitting, an 'almost' panic attack made Danny say that.
Lonnie Ledford That's amazing
We had a similar agreement when we heard it as they played in Denver that same year, it was a beautiful song to hear in person and the sheer enthusiasm and acceptance flowing from the crowd was nothing short of astonishing.
Lonnie Ledford same in Rip City. Amazing show, and not a cell phone in sight.
I was there for that. It was amazing.
Lonnie Ledford You you're in a great fandom when fans actually comply to the singer's request.
I'm 21 and I still need a kickass spandex version of me from the future to burst into my classroom and sing a rock ballad about how cool I am and how things will turn out fine.
But until the universe makes that happen, I'll just have to trust/believe the coolness is inside me, blossoming at its own pace.
It is man, it is, stay awesome.
It’ll come it’ll come.
Heck yeah, dude. The awesomeness will show up one day. But until then, like Danny said, we'll Rock on until then!
You've still got 8 more years in your awkward phase don't sweat it.
You're a rock star, and the world will know soon enough. Rock on, bro!
This is probably my fav nsp song honestly.
Agora E Aroga yup mine too
This is so damn catchy...I think the same goes for me too...
100%! Production value is through the roof and the shot of Danny with the color changing stars around him where the instrumentals cut out give me the chills.
agreed they have come very far
This chorus is AMAZING!
We are all Danny. I’m a 60 year old woman and I am SO Danny, and I deeply love this song.
The story of how a dorky kid who everyone shat on became a badass comedy-musician/comedian who can wear bright blue spandex in 2019 without making it look tacky while also being part of a hit UA-cam series with a guy who yells a lot but still has a big, squishy heart under all of that sass.
Rock on Danny Sexbang Avidan. Rock on *wipes tear*

New favourite NSP song maybe...
This song isn't very "NSP" but I really feel like Danny had to make it. It's so true to his life and the struggles he went through, I'm surprised there isn't a verse about smoking weed and playing Morrowind
Danny don't you know
you'll feel lost like you're a failure
and you'll smoke a buncha weed
in a place called Morrowind
thinkin' you've got to have a rewind
but be sure in a few years
you'll find just what you need
Danny don't you know
Danny don't you know
Just for conversation sake: while i agree that it's a more wholesome song (and not their regular raunchy goodness), i feel like NSP has established themselves as being able to do more serious music, like with their covers. As long as they still carry the same feeling, i think it is all good. What do you think?
countessli
Personally I think there's two sides to NSP (and they're both great) - the silly sex and fantasy side and the more serious covers band. This is the first song when both sides have intertwined, since it's a serious song but isn't a cover. That said, it's still great, it's just new to me and I'm not quite sure where it fits in yet.
Yeah i agree! I guess we will see what the future holds :D
I love reading through these comments and seeing how many people share a verse that hit them hard, really resonates with them - but that it's not the same verse for everyone. There are so many amazing and powerful lines in one silly-on-the-surface song. That's what makes this such a sincerely great song.
The line that gets me is 1:57 "Danny don't you know that everyone feels weird on the inside" - the way he says it... I really needed to hear that.
But there are a dozen other lines in this one song that other people feel the same way about:
- 1:35 "Send Birthday invites and now all your friend is here"
- 1:50 "You're just going through an awkward phase from 12 to 29"
- 2:37 "No one cares that your 35"
- 2:48 "You're still a nerdy kid inside, but now you finally found your tribe"
- 3:55 "Now it's time to rock the show, come on, you are a star tonight"
I mean come on, I can't think of many songs that speak to the listener in so many lines. I could quote more, but then I'd just be posting essentially all the lyrics... Danny says it best "... don't you know that you kick so much ass on the inside?" What an awesome anthem for what almost everyone has felt in their life at some point.
Thanks for this song NSP, clearly, we all needed to hear this.
I had no idea he was older than me.
I've been getting depressed at being 40. I figured that life didn't really hold much new for me anymore and was really getting in a dark place. Seeing Danny here, though, just living the way he wants to and being happy and well-loved makes me feel so much better.
Pretty cool of Finn to feature in this video. Love NSP and Finn, hope they could maybe do something together again.

Daviddog Das it He was on guest grumps for 2 episodes (Wheel of fortune and Crash Bandicoot racing thing)
音Sarto楽 yeah but he clearly said nsp
This is probably the best "I made it" songs ever. Truly inspiring.
Is it just me or musically the band grew by leaps and bounds? And i'm not only talking production. Silly theme or not, this song was solid music writing. Congratz to the boys from NSP.
Paulo Brasil NSP and TWRP sound amazing together! Couldn't have asked for a more solid super group
It's because they partnered with Tupperware Remix Party.
Aaaaaaaaah that makes a lot of sense.
Paulo Brasil My thoughts exactly. This is easily one of their best, if not THE best song they've put out there.
adding TWRP seriously took them to the next level. I like their older stuff, but musically its so much better now its almost a little hard to go back to and listen to it.
I came home to a house full of women last night (wife, mother in law, niece etc) playing songs to each other with the goal of making one of them cry. Not a tear to be seen. I played this song and wept like a newborn. 20 stone of 6 foot bearded unit for reference. No regrets whatsoever. I wish this song had been around when I was 12

The resemblance between Danny and Finn is 32 flavors of uncanny. I know they won't cast Danny in It Part 2, but it would be a perfect fit.
They’ve already cast Bill Hader as grown up Finn. Pretty cool casting, tbh. :D
They actually should cast danny
As Always or at leadt ezra miller or something
I would pay exorbitant amounts of money to see Danny fight an evil killer transforming clown.
They should make Brian don't you know. It should be an instrumental of Ninja Brian staring at a slightly smaller NB for 4 solid minutes. With maybe some random murders in the background or something
NSP get on it! This man just fed you gold!
ok but instead of “Danny don’t you know” it’s “Brian are you aware”
yooooo
Roses and Sunflowers YOOOOOO
This wouldn’t make sense because Brian came out of the womb all-knowing...
Watching Danny live out his dream of being a rockstar has been one of the most heartwarming things I've seen in my life.
Thank you NSP
and thank you Danny Sexbang for this incredible power ballad. And congratulations on your amazing success.
Everybody talks about the being a nerd in high school, which is important, but the line that hits me the most is "you're just going through an awkward phase from 12 to 29" because that, more than anything else, just makes me feel that it all takes time. Through broken hearts and abandoned ambitions, it just takes time.
Aaron Larson Seriously. I’m way out of High School and for awhile thought “well shit I guess this is just who I’ll be for life.” I thought I was destined to spend my life hating myself and having no ambitions. But this song gave me hope... which is all I could really ask for.

I’m turning 29 in a few days, and I’m listening to this song on repeat. I’m looking forward to the end of my awkward phase. Dan and Brian are so inspiring to me. They’re proof that you don’t have to have life figured out at 20 and that your dreams don’t have an expiration date.
Wait Brian is sitting in Dan’s class when he’s younger, is Brian like an immortal caretaker of Dan? This lore is great
NSP lore videos need to be a thing now
Brian is a wrathful, omnipotent, Lovecraftian, immortal entity that Danny Sexbang somehow finagled into being bound by contract to become his sleepless guardian across time and space.
Come on, you think if that was the real Ninja Brian you'd be able to see him?
It's probably because he time traveled back with Danny. That's my guess.
If it was the rest of the class would be dead except Danny.
As much as I enjoyed early NSP, this one feels like it's approaching something greater. It's a song with a purpose, not a punchline.
Michael 마익흘 Aronson Damn, love that review! Well said.
fuk that
Even has punchlines too
Michael 마익흘 Aronson That is such a good way to put it
It had a meaningful message while still having some great lines (ex. You sent your birthday invites and now all your friend is here)
I can just imagine Finn showing this to the directors of It chapter two to prove dan could totally be the older version of him
Aww
I was just thinking that, Dan totally should have played older Finn xD
Hell yes
if only!!!!
the scenes alternate between Bill Hader and Danny Sexbang playing adult Richie and no one questions it
I finally found my tribe. Thanks for being there in the meantime, Danny.
Seriously this is one of my favorite NSP songs for a million reasons, but can we take a moment to think about a fully grown man in blue spandex and a cape appearing before a young boy and immediately telling him not to cry.
Voone9750 WELL IT DIDNT WORK IM CRYING ANYWAY
I just laughed in class, dammit.
A jewish guy in blue spandex and a cape and giving a child an inspiring message...
Danny is SUPERMAN!!??
I love "More than a feeling" a bit more than this
The one image that gives me chills is like that two second clip of Finn and Danny dancing in the dark together but with the same movements and it just hits me. For your successful future self to dance with the awkward and nervous younger you is so wholesome and wonderful and something I wish I got to do when I was in middle school. Rock on Future Me.
dang, I just now noticed they were dancing the same... that is really good
Carlos Baez Jr. the scene where he says you’re a star tonight hits me also, showing that everything he’ll work for is worth it because he’ll get tons of support
Carlos Baez Jr. right!!!!! i love that scene too!!
Timestamp 4:08
Triplestrife that ones great because the third verse is still about Danny but it’s also like “It’s not just me, all of us here are great we just need to seize it” So we are all the star tonight, all that’s left is for us to rock out
“YOU ARE A STAR TONIGHT!”
Goosebumps from that part. Love when songs drop the instruments for a solo like that.
And the HARMONIES
You should hear it live, the instuments drop and the whole crowd joins the solo
I WOULD hear it live if I could. I live in Norway, however.
Yes, right? That part gives me goosebumps every time I listen to the song!
I know this song came out 4 years ago (wow), but I decided to come back and listen to it and genuinely cried. I'm in a really rough spot and trying to figure out who I want to be in life, but I look up to Danny a whole lot. He's fearless, kind, genuine, everything anyone could ever aspire to be. It gives me the motivation to keep going and I'm super grateful for it. Keep rocking on, NSP.
"You're still a nerdy kid inside, but now you've finally found your tribe"
Literally the best line of the song, made me tear up because isn't that what we all just want
i found mine in highschool and i'm happy now :)
You will. :) Found mine at 23
OH IT’S TRIBE?? I thought it was jive
@@JasonSmith-lb1nx I thought it was stride
Nah I think "you're just going through an awkward phase from 12 to 29" is a better line.
I got a cameo done from Danny on Cameo and he sang this song at the end but with my name instead of Danny and I didn't even ask him to, it was the greatest thing ever. Best amount of money I've ever spent.
Wow I’m jealous man
HE DID THAT FOR ME TOO
That's so nice ✨
would probably for names with only two syllables or ends with "-y"
@@CurlysSketchbook I'd bet anything that's an important thing for him, personally, to be able to do. This is the message he exists to pass on.
Did I mention this song saved my life when I was wanting to die during my deployment?
Damn it! now I want a music video About an older Danny played by Weird Al coming back in time to tell Dan of how he inspires millions of people every day, and then Finn, Dan, and Al all rock out on set together and make the best music video of all time. But until then... this one holds that crown. Holy shit its so good.
They're big enough that they should be able to make it work, scheduling tho. Al would be amazing with Danny thanks now I'm in anticipation until this happens
I love ut
Seanzy Man YES
Oh damn, yes please...
MasterCrander alright..... Looking looking.... GOT IT. It's booked boys.
Still love this 🥹 Always come back to it when I don't feel myself 🫶🏻
There's something very endearing about Danny and Finn doing that dance together at 4:08.
Hilarious Valentine they both just look so happy, it's so wholesome
gabwho1 Ikr!
Hilarious Valentine dude what we wouldn't give to rock out and dance with our little selves.
Hilarious Valentine go Back to being stuck in the ground
Like seeing how awesome they got along on Guest Grumps I bet it was a dream cone true for both of them, lol
The lyric about how he's a nerd on the inside but he found his tribe hits me in the feels so bad.
Did i mention this lowkey made me cry when i first heard it
Same
It makes me regular key cry just about every time I hear it.
youre gay
@@RummyStarlight I also cry everytime I hear this on pandora at work
@@crimsoncamellia7079 HAH. Nice.
2024 I’m still listening to this certified banger
Finn Wolfhard's best role: Young Danny.
Also OUR BOY KEVIN IS BACK
+Jackson Hoye
WAIT WHAT? Where is he!?
Lol yeah he's the first classmate we see
Jackson Hoye
Danny’s best role: old Finn Wolfhard.
Anyone else a grown-ass man but still want to grow up to be like Dan?
Aaron Chesser yes
Im 34. Still a yes.
Just turned 46, and me, too.
Absolutely
Aaron Chesser I'm 15 and I hope that I turn out like Danny
As a 27 year old who's still trying to figure out who I want to be in life and was feeling like it's too late for me to do anything great, The lines "you're just going through an awkward phase from 12 to 29" and "no one cares that you're 35" really hit hard. Really feels like maybe there's still time for me to figure it out after all.
UPDATE: It's been about a year since I commented this, and it's been great seeing responses from all the other people that the song resonated with as well. I just wanted to say: I've now got a part time job while also working as an independent artist, and I am loving what I'm doing. I started a youtube channel (not this one) after putting it off for a long time out of fear, and have been having so much fun doing something that I was originally feeling like I missed the boat on. It's really only too late if you don't try.
I hit 30 and finally found my calling in life. It takes a while, it's hard, it may not even end up being what you expect it to be. But it's worth it.
Right there with you bud. Here's to surviving 2 more years of our awkward phase!
I can more than understand.
I feel like I'm finally out of that awkward phase and I hit 30 only a couple years ago.
Yeah, I suppose we’ve got our own homework.
Honestly, that "no one cares that you're 35" line drives home the point that we _really_ need to stop putting a time limit on life. Fuck ageism.
This song really hit home to me a lot. I've been playing in local punk bands since I was 18, and I never really felt truly comfortable with myself unless I was onstage yelling into a mic. I was a weird kid, and now I'm a weird adult - but music always makes me feel like I belong.
The scene with Dan holding up the mic and the Starburst of colors and the silhouettes of his profile should definitely be a poster! I'd buy it!
3:58
I read this comment as I was watching it
Evan Younge Same haha
they really hired natewantstobattle to NOT sing
What a power play
You could say "tasty power move"
@@brandon0sh damn it it's been two years since this came out and you still beat me to it
Honestly no idea who that is.
If you've heard his version of Linkin Park, you'd understand why...
They really got mark to be in not even one second if the video
I'm so glad NSP is finally getting the milestones it deserved to hit years ago, trending on UA-cam, having 1 million+ subs, having actors in their videos, video quality went through the roof, and universal support from the fans. Shout-out to everyone who's been here since he just wanted to dance all those years ago 🤘
I want to so badly! Just waiting for that perfect show near me
Omg I absolutely LOVE this! One, it's a rocking tune. Two, it's funny. But three and most important, it's really uplifting. This almost made me cry 🥹
Oh, wow. Looking at Baby Brian, you just KNEW that kid would grow up to be a brilliant scientist, a brilliant comedian, or a serial killer.
And he went with Option D: all of the above.
Dallas Mishey
Best comment here!
Option D: just looks like a scared emoticon and that fits it perfectly
his issue in school was he was both to popular and to good at sports

Its 2020 and this song still slaps.
Hell yeah.
Well duh the year doesnt matter this will be good in 2163
Same bro
Jonathan Yuenkel boy you’d better believe
@@guywhotellsthetime1585 And 6969
This song will slap ass for millennium to come
Out of all the "inspirational" songs I've heard this is the most organic
This is the best. How did I miss out on these guys for so long? Winners!
#11 on trending. That's better than 1. That's two 1's.
Fearl A really good way to look at things
Well it actually was #1 at one point
Was 4 yesterday!
Should have made a stranger things joke with comment
Fearl now number 16 wtf bro
I met danny a few days before he premiered this at a concert for the first time. When I met him he was completely a normal person and seemed still grateful and genuinely surprised when someone recognized him in person and told him they appreciated his work and art. You can tell he is genuinely still that nerdy kid but that he is so incredibly happy with his success and loves his fans. Please if you see him dont hesitate to let him know hes awesome because I can tell it truly makes him happy.
Ah yes, markiplier the centaur
Athena Ascending I was so confused
Centaur-plier
@@MsRedfield97 2/10
Where did he get a centaur?!?
This is what I thought
I was in a bad place when my best friend showed me this song. It filled me with hope and just truly means a lot to me. It showed me that you need to find your self worth and to never give up on yourself. I can't thank you guys enough for writing this song
