One of the few mature relatable bands in the pop punk world. This song is my anthem - drove across the country this summer to be with my family after grandfather passed away. Hits home
+Rusty Sarkela i kinda relate bc my pap had a heart attack and got brain damage from it this past summer and i relate to this a lot. I really love this band 💗
I'm glad to see a band that has been around this long, finally get their due. One of the best 2013. I love the sound they have found. I used to think they were Bad poppy punk band. They are falling into the right music space of indie with the likes of Brand New, Thrice, and The Sounds. Artists with their own amazing sound.
I don't get why people call them pop punk. Their music seems much more like Emo as it has screaming, frequent tempo shifts, odd time signatures and confessional lyrics. Not really that poppy
My grandmother is losing her battle with cancer, and i’m stuck working my 9-5 so i don’t end up on the streets. I most likely won’t be there in her last days. This song hits hard. It hurts like hell. But I needed to hear it again. (ETA: I made it home on thanksgiving. She died 6 hours after I left. This went from hurting to HURTING man).
I can't tell you how much this hits home in 2020. My grandfather is in the hospital and I can't see him because of COVID. I'm not expecting great news and my family can't be together to support each other.
They killed it at HOB anaheim last night. Screamed this song at the top of my lungs. 2 of my aunts have cancer now and this speaks to me like no other. Quickly became one of my favorite bands ever!
+OldSchoolAddict ive been seeing mine age and lose his strength my dad left me and he stepped in and now hes losing his strength and some of his memory its hard and this song helps me with it
My grandfather figure who had been there for me throughout my life died from lung cancer early this year (2017) and I listened to this on repeat during that time. I love this song and it will always have a special place in my heart 💗
This song is about Dan's grandfather being sick in the hospital after a triple bypass after a series of heart attacks. They left on tour the day of the surgery and were on tour throughout it. Hope the song and video make sense for those of you still confused on it.
Part of this is about a grandparent having a serious illness and not being able to be there for them (presumably because of touring). In previous albums he's referenced his anxiety like collapsing in an Outback Steakhouse when he learned an album leaked (I forget if it's The Upsides or Suburbia) or when they toured the UK etc. Obviously, it's also about how his family/friends tire of having to deal with his issues (it's a shame but it happens) and maybe how his pales in comparison to his grandparent(s).
This is such a great video for such a great song. I'm seeing you guys on April 18th, which is literally Good Friday ahah. I'm so excited to see you guys and all the other bands on tour! I'll be waiting from about 10 in the morning so I'll see you there!
Absolute fucking gold! I'm young and il admit I go through "phases" with my music. But not in the sense I grow out of it, it's just words aren't gonna b relatable throughout ur entire life. But there is my all time favorite bands like "disturbed" "the Beatles" and now "the wonder years" u guys r immortalized to me. U r musical genius and will forever b amazing at what u do! U inspired me to write again. But more specifically I love this song because I just moved and left my best friend. We got into u guys as I was leaving and this song is perfect "we're all waiting for good news! Hoping u can come home soon" that always gives me chills. This video was perfect! Took me a second to understand it but once I did I loved it! The feeling of being replaced is devastating, and bone chilling terrifying to me. So I say thank you guys! Thank u for inking the words not just on paper but onto history and into our hearts and brains. U guys r forever gods to me! Absolutely love everything about u guys. Sound, members, mascot, and symbolism. Can't wait to go see u guys live one day.
I'm about to get really emotional so deal with it. I come back to this song a lot. I can't always listen to it unless I'm alone so I can cry like a wuss. If you listen to this song with this information in mind, you'll understand why its one of my all time favorite songs and why it makes me so emotional every time I hear it. A few years ago my favorite person, my grandma, passed away and it doesn't hurt any less but this is the song that makes me feel it the most and sometimes I just have to feel it because holding it in makes it worse. "And we're all waiting for good news, hoping you can come home soon" Everyone in my family waited to hear when the hospital said my grandma could come home. "I've been acting like I'm strong but the truth is I've been losing ground" Reminds me of when I visited my grandma in the hospital every day and smiled at her and had normal conversations with her but inside I was breaking wishing I could take her home. "I haven't felt a heartbreak until now" I thought I knew what heartbreak was before but when she died I felt my heart literally shatter. "If I'm in an airport and you're in a hospital bed, well then, what kind of man does that make me?" Reminds me of how I thought I had more time to see her so I skipped one day and stayed home and that was the day she died and I thought, what kind of granddaughter does that make me? I was her favorite person and she was mine. I should have been there every day. I don't know if anyone will actually read this or if anyone has a similar story, but I just thought I'd share. I relate to almost every Wonder Years song, but always probably in a different way than what the lyrics were written about and I think that's what makes music beautiful.
PS: Dan is probably one of, if not my favorite lyricist ever and a huge inspiration to me to write lyrics years ago and now I'm 24 and still can't start a band but writing lyrics has always gotten me through a bunch of shit and of course Wonder Years' lyrics has also gotten me through a bunch of shit.
I hope you don’t mind a stranger commenting, but I wonder if you know about the common situation where loved ones will wait to be alone before they pass. I’ve heard various theories about why this happens and I believe the most frequent reason is to spare their loved ones the pain of being there when they pass. Maybe staying home that day gave her the chance to let go. You may have given her the gift of peace that day, knowing she could let go without hurting you further. I hope peace has found you in the last 5 years. Take care.
Hair genes for everyone are weird. My dad had a full beard by the end of high school and no hair by 20 and im 20 and am still filling my beard out and had a full head of hair before i got an undercut
My dad passed away when I was in my Freshmen year in High School 23 years ago. I just heard this song a day ago while I had my #applemusic library on shuffle and I just broke down
The Wonder Years are pop punk for people in their 30s. So grateful for this band
So are The Menzingers
I turn 30 last year and then I igot into this band literally the next month.
Im 27 but pls dont call me out like this
I got into them at 18 but my life is fucked up and I had to mature so makes sense 🙃
If you're cerebral, sad, pensive, and a bit irreverent, you're probably a fan of TWY. This also makes you an awesome human.
That fact that this album is 7 years old and still ahead of the times for pop punk NOW in 2021. God love the wonder years.
This band helps me through so much. No one will ever know what this band means to me.
+Spencer Cowan twy Are like therapy to me there one of the few rare awesome bands that does this for me
+Spencer Cowan Me too. It's like they bottled up how it feels being in your mid twenties and recorded it straight onto CD
Same!

My anthem too
How does he sing this without crying? I literally cannot do it.
Damn, the whole band kills it every fucking time.
this band is da fakkin bomb! had almost forgotten about this record, gotta listen to it now!
Best album of 2013 dudeee
I'm glad to see a band that has been around this long, finally get their due. One of the best 2013. I love the sound they have found. I used to think they were Bad poppy punk band. They are falling into the right music space of indie with the likes of Brand New, Thrice, and The Sounds. Artists with their own amazing sound.
This whole album, but this video in particular, is so meaningful I love it.
Pop punk, this is just a great melodic rock song with amazing lyrics.

(ETA: I made it home on thanksgiving. She died 6 hours after I left. This went from hurting to HURTING man).
The chorus in this song hits like a freight train filled with choir singers
"Hadnt felt a heartbreak until now.."
Me the last couple months dealing with my moms death. I miss you mom
I can't tell you how much this hits home in 2020. My grandfather is in the hospital and I can't see him because of COVID. I'm not expecting great news and my family can't be together to support each other.
i can relate to this. my dad died of covid. and i didn't get to see him to say goodbye
They're so perfect it makes me want to cry.
We''re on August 2023 and I'm still here! This song is a lifetime theme! Awesome dudes!
I can't hold all these feels..
They killed it at HOB anaheim last night. Screamed this song at the top of my lungs. 2 of my aunts have cancer now and this speaks to me like no other. Quickly became one of my favorite bands ever!
'If I'm in an airport and your in a hospital bed, what kind of man does that make me...' deep shit right there!
THE WONDER BEARDS!!!!
Look out Four Year Strong!
We got a new Beardcore band
hahaha four beard strong are legends dudee!
Kevin Ocampo I laughed WAY too hard at that.
xScreamToRisex very true
Hearing this live makes it so much better.
I lost my mother this month to cancer. This is so relatable it hurts
I lost my mom to cancer too in February (2024) this song broke me
I really wish they had a video for every song on this album. Would be so worth it
Just discovered this band and there freakin awesome and a pigeon for a mascot what is more awesome than that
This song makes me think about my grandfather and all the good times I spent with him and the fact that I don't want him to go away
+OldSchoolAddict ive been seeing mine age and lose his strength my dad left me and he stepped in and now hes losing his strength and some of his memory its hard and this song helps me with it
+Shawn Crawford I'm sorry to hear that. I agree though this song definitely does help
My grandfather figure who had been there for me throughout my life died from lung cancer early this year (2017) and I listened to this on repeat during that time. I love this song and it will always have a special place in my heart 💗
I sing the bridge so hard when blasting this song in my car.
One of the fucking best bands of the latest years. And the whole "The Greatest Generation" is just amazing.
Just saw these guys last night for the first time. They opened with this song and it was crazy.
I saw them play this song recently in RI. It is still one of my favorites from them. If you hear it live it is even better!
This song is about Dan's grandfather being sick in the hospital after a triple bypass after a series of heart attacks. They left on tour the day of the surgery and were on tour throughout it. Hope the song and video make sense for those of you still confused on it.
Thanks!! I hadn't totally got it until now.
I actually love this band so much
excellent band ♥!!!! I want to see them playing for South America

he went on tour when his g-pa was in the hospital and almost died and he wasnt their so they disowned him
Saddest part is that his grandpa just died and he couldn't be at the funeral because he was touring
@@SigfriedBigcheeseVanMemelordII that's what the song Raining In Kyoto was about, they were touring in Japan.
Pause at 1:50 and read...
god DAMN IT :'(!!!
FUCK YOU AND THE FEELS
DAMMIT
FUCK YOU AND THOSE FUCKING FEEL FUCKING STOP IT RIGHT NOW OR IM GOING TO CRY
epicnate98 fucking heartbreaking
Deep stuff Soupy, deep stuff... I feel your pain man.
His writing is something else...
Absolute genius! This video, this song, this band. Nothing but flawless.
God that bass fill at 0.59 sec. is so BEASTT!
His beard is my spirit animal
I can't wait to see them at WARPED TOUR.
I saw them for the second time this warped tour and they always put on an amazing show
Words can not express my love for this band.
I didn´t know about this band until this video and they´re pretty awesome
They're VERY awesome! Totally check out the rest of their music!!
***** All their stuff is equally great
they kew
I agree, I forgot about this. I need to listen to this album ASAP
Simply amazing. These guys never cease to impress.
Soupy...... im so thankful for you

Saw these guys open for all time low the other night, didnt know who they were but theyre super talented dudes!!
At first i just thought the video just was random clips. And then when i realized that he had gotten replaced by a doll it became really sad xD
This is my favourite song off this album. Quite pleased that they made a video for it. Brightened up my day a bit.
My favorite!
Favorite song off The Greatest Generation! So stoked you guys released a video for it!
@1:50 can super relate y-ouch...
"I've been acting like I'm strong.
But the truth is, I've been losing ground".
The truth shall set you free girl friend
Once again, it's awesome.
The guitar setup for this band has changed so much since the last record.
Song is so good, the video is sad. Their lyrics always hit me hard.
this album is so important to me, and im sure it is to many others
I love this. Really great. I also love the filter used when Soupy's looking in through the window towards the end.
This is such a great video for such a great song. I'm seeing you guys on April 18th, which is literally Good Friday ahah. I'm so excited to see you guys and all the other bands on tour! I'll be waiting from about 10 in the morning so I'll see you there!
I love this song and this band so much

Ugh I love this album so much!
Much love from India.
Soupy's beard game is strong right now
Awesome song to make a video for, and great video for it.

Happy New Year!
this song is my favorite the wonder years song
Going to see them with Real Friends, Citizen and Modern Baseball on April 18th!
dude, that's huge! hope you had fun
I saw them on march 26th and HOLY SHIT it was fucking rad
Caught them at Reading Festival - they were my highlight!
The Wonder Years Rock!
It baffles me that Soupy can have a receding hairline and still grow one of the manliest beards I've ever seen.
It must be where all his hair goes
I know this... from experience
Who the fuck is soupy
Angel Mateo the vocalist bitch
Hair genes for everyone are weird. My dad had a full beard by the end of high school and no hair by 20 and im 20 and am still filling my beard out and had a full head of hair before i got an undercut
love this
My dad passed away when I was in my Freshmen year in High School 23 years ago. I just heard this song a day ago while I had my #applemusic library on shuffle and I just broke down
I just saw these guys In Moorehead MN 2 weekends ago, I got to meet soupy, he's a really cool dude
So good.
that bass riff though.
I literally yelled oh shit! at 1:01
At 1:31 - Looks like someone's been listening to Dave Grohl's drum part from Smells Like Teen Spirit.
I know it's too late but WITH THE LIGHTS OUT, IT'S LESS DANGEROUS
Notice that too bruh
There so good! One of my favorites yo ♥
Crazy good
Masterpiece.
This is awesome
Really good, guys!!!
The Wonder Beards
perfect.
Greatest band ever
