Walked the hallways of high school, closeted, lonely, and depressed, listening to this song. Now 25, out, happy, and rejuvenated. Be well everyone. Love is out there.
a teacher at my uni just died. the year has just started, so i only got to have one lecture with him. he seemed hilarious, was very young and my friend and i kept commenting that he looked like percy jackson. he dispatched the class early after explaining a really fun project. i spent less than an hour in a room with this man but the fact it won't happen again is such a devastating feeling. i don't know if it can even be considered grief, i barely ever knew him, and he never learnt the name of any of my classmates. the fact tomorrow i'll go and carry out all the plans i had feels weird. i never know what to do after someone dies because the world won't stop like it feels it should. the feeling sounds like this song.
Life won't stop for anyone I suppose... I had a similar experience ages ago where an assistant principal from my middle school passed away from a motorcycle accident. He was beloved in our school and most people found his energy comforting in a way. He was like a big teddy bear as some of my friends described him. The thing was I never interacted with this man at all and only heard things about him through word of mouth. It was just like how you described your experience, it was just an average day and the following day, we heard the news from the intercom. Idk why, but I found it really morbid how everyone just seemed to move on from the situation like it didn't happen at all. In like a month, everything went back to normal. I had the same feeling you had where I didn't quite felt grief but felt something off with the whole thing.
One of my teacher died two years ago. From the first day with her I immediatly knew she would be my favourite, she was nice, she made little games to motivate the class and she teached my favourite subject. I know how weird it may feels. She died after just a bunch of weeks so I never got to really know her. You described this feeling just right. You don't know how to react and everything is confusing.
I was that loner, outcast kid in highschool with no friends. I struggled a lot with depression. i still do, but Im now 35 and happily married with a great job and a nice house. It gets better. Dont give up.
Ditto! 35 here, loner in school after moving 3 times in highschool. Depressed, mom died at 16. Here I am today, married to love of my life,2 beautiful babies, good job, comfortable home. Life is good.
Im a 32 year old man, but once upon a time i was a 17 year old girl. I wish so badly I could go back and tell her everything will be ok and that one day I'd miss being her
I'm a 32 year old woman but was once a 17 year old boy. I want to go back and tell him, everything will be fine, you'll figure yourself out and everyone will still love you.
i’m a 32 year old woman, but once upon a time i was a 17 year old girl. i wish so badly i could go back and tell her that you never really found the light - but you did something so much better by becoming it instead. if you can’t find the light… become it. and be who you needed when you were younger.
Um what? You can't be a 32 year old dude now but at one time a 17 year old girl. That's not how it works at all. Unless this is some kind of metaphor? Like I'm a 30 year old dude but at one time I was a 2,000 year old rock?
@@endrankluvsda4loko172 you might actually BE a 2,000 year old rock, my friend. you’d be surprised at how far science has come! all jokes aside, i pray for inclusion of ALL people - that everyone will someday make it to the point of feeling at home and happy in their skin… and as long as we are kind and loving and respectful to others… then i don’t judge whatever path you have to take to get there! no matter what your path looks like… no matter what your “skin suit” on this planet in this life looks like… no matter your short-comings….

what an age to be. 17 is like the gray area between still being a teenager but feeling like an outcast, scared of taking your first steps into adulthood. you're seen as a child but treated as an adult, and the transition into turning 18 is when everything changes
Honestly I'd take any advice you or any adults might have because I'm nervous about graduating and being an adult😅 I don't know what to focus on or to look out for at 17 haha
Maybe don’t look for any suggestions. Suggestions that others outputs couldn’t really change our mind and make a real matter. The best way is to naturally grow up, to learn things ourselves. As I mentioned, you now can totally ignore my SUGGESTION
Found this at 17 and I love the lyrics and their simplicity. People change so much as they get older whether for the better or worse and it’s so easy to cling onto the past when the present seems so hard to deal with. I want things to get better
Omg!! I didn't even know there was a video for this My girlfriend in high school loved this song and put it on a mix tape for me and it's been so close to my heart ever since. It epitomizes the feelings of innocent love, distance, longing, wonder, betrayal and heart ache that permeated our relationship. We've long gone our ways but the special world we shared for a couple years will stay with me for the rest of my life.
I'm living through my last few days of being a seventeen year old girl, and I'm not feeling great about it. It feels like I've wasted so much time trying to be older, doing drugs, heavily scrutinizing over myself, and being unhappy. I have no clue what my plans are going forward, but I think i just have to come to terms with that. Even though so many of my peers have everything meticulously planned out for themselves, that doesn't have to be the case for me. I have to give myself a bit more grace, even though that's never been easy. I just celebrated one year clean from drugs, and I'm far happier than I've been in a while, and that's okay for now. Even though I might not know about school or long term employment, I'm doing my best. And that's okay for now.
I'm 20. Obviously haven't had a lot of life experience, but I will say that you're doing great. Don't worry about knowing exactly what you want to do in life, I can safely say that most people, even people older than me, dont. People who have their life planned out also must realize that life can change in an instant, so it's ok to leave things somewhat ambiguous. It's something I've had to accept, but ive come to realize thats one of the great things about life, you never know what could come into your life and thats what makes it exciting. You will eventually find out what you want to do. If i may suggest, just experience things. Get into hobbies, you may find a liking to the most random things. I found out i wanted to be a criminal investigator after a random school project i did. Youll find your way eventually. Also, I'm so proud of you for being one year clean. You're doing great, and you'll continue to do so.
I loved this song when I was an 18 year old boy. I had dropped out of high school when I was 16 and all of my friends were preparing to start their lives, college, whatever- and I was filled with regret and envy. I am 35 years old with a beautiful family and beautiful home in a beautiful place. I dislike unsolicited advice but here it goes: just hang on and be as kind and giving as you possibly can to all of the beautiful(inside and out) and nice people around you. Life isn't about things or experiences but the relationships that you build. Good luck! Be nice!
Trust me, you’re doing fine. You’ll blink one day and you’ll be 40, looking back and realising that no one knew what lay ahead of them at 17. Those around you may think that they do, but life has its own plans for you. You will be a hundred different versions of yourself over the years to come. Enjoy the highs and lows and don’t worry too much about the destination. It’s never where you think it’s going to be anyway ❤
Today is my last day being 17 9/29/24 it lowkey bittersweet how this song is popular rn thanks to a movie and tiktok. 17 is a sweet age. End of your childhood, almost done with teen years, and soon to be considered a adult. Its scary but got your makeup on and im not coming back like the quote says in the song. I learned alot being 17, I took public bus,learned to do laudry,hanged out with my friends afterschool,be rebillous,make risky decisions,graduated high school, visit a college, attend college and so much more. I cant wait to see what 18 and adulthood brings for me. Its scary but I think i got this❤
Grown ass man here this song hit me when I was a 17 year old boy and all the romance and mystery I felt then still slaps today still. Timeless piece and love will always be timeless
Same, remembers my dear friend Mayte, my soul has been absolutely demolished after his departure; Seriously, from the bottom of my heart, I hope you are well my friend.
I was having a bad day today, and this song managed to make me cry on this bad day, but that doesn't matter at least I discovered this band and this song as a 17 y.o girl I felt special for a moment
Sometimes you will laugh, sometimes you will laugh then cry, others you will sob. Each listen will never bring you back to the same exact memory or moment in time but will always bring you back to that same exact feeling. You will feel exactly how you feel right now but will be looking back on yourself with much kinder eyes and a heart full of love and understanding for that girl. This song is hugging younger you in every phase of life, tucking her hair behind her ear, grabbing her by the face, kissing her forehead and telling her “you done good kid”
Appreciated it about 15 years ago and now still loving it at 40. I just listened to Toro y Moi “heaven” and thought I recognised those lines from somewhere… ❤ Came back here and I haven’t stopped listening on repeat.
I once was a seventeen year old girl playing this on repeat while laying on my bed imagining who I would be as a woman. Now I'm a grown woman laying on my bed thinking about the seventeen year old girl I once was. Life is funny like that sometimes.
i’m almost seventeen playing this on repeat while laying on my bed :) hopefully i will live a long happy life and will be able to grow up like you have
Nostalgia is cruel most of the time. Be careful not to get trapped thinking about what you should of done or said because its too late but every moment is another chance to turn it all around.
I'm not a girl but a dude that was a huge BSS fan growing up. I was 21 when this song was released and still enjoying my youth partying with friends. I found this song again after 20+ years and MY GOD this song hits so hard now that I'm in my 40s. BSS fan for life.
For me it’s about a girl who was a friend, a coworker, and often my ride home since my ass couldn’t be bothered at the time to have a license and most importantly, who went way before her time very recently. This was one of her favorite songs, I’d never actually listened to it, until tonight, now that she’s gone, and I just can’t help but wish I hadn’t forgotten or waited so long to do it. Now it’s attached to her for me, and that’s both so heavy and almost crushing to feel, but at the same time, i think of her when I hear this, and it’s like for four and a half minutes, she’s still here, I can feel her presence. I love you Zoey, as I did then, and still now, forever onwards.
First heard this on 88.5 WRKC in 2002. Took another 10 years before I finally found it again. Seen a random meme that reminded me of it again and here I am. Still bangs.
what a beautifull song. I have some special nomemories thank to that song...wine, pancakes, me and this shy girl...Moreover, the whole album has a special place in my heart. I had to leave my home, which is in a dictatorship country , to search for better life and better future, which lead to loosing part of myself, part of my subjectivity..Those who have been through immigration know the stuff : all your previous relations are gone, you've got start everything over. And Broken Social Scene's music have been such a company in those dark times, when I had to hide in my immanense, so I would not experience these lacks that every normal human beings doesn't experience. I felt like I wasn't alone even though emptiness was never leaving. I believe no artist compose music with such intentions, but I am convinced it's important to give such feedbacks, so they would know how their music influences humans across the planet across . I hope they will read this🖤🖤🖤
this is very beautiful. glad the music kept you company in such hard times! my grandparents immigrated to america from latvia as children and i can’t imagine how scary it must be to leave your home country behind, especially when it’s not your decision to.
j’ai 18 ans en mars, et j’avais terriblement peur d’avoir 18 ans. j’ai regardé i saw the tv glow et je suis revenu à cette chanson que j’avais totalement oublié, je suis tellement heureux d’être de retour. je pensais que ma vie commencerai très tard mais je suis sous hormones depuis 1 an et demi et j’ai l’impression d’être vivant, de pouvoir être un adolescent et d’avoir le droit de devenir l’adulte que je mérite d’être. je parle jamais de ma transition à mes proches parce que je passe totalement comme un homme et j’ai peur qu’ils ne me voient plus comme ça s’ils se rappel de qui je suis aussi : trans. transitionner à été la meilleur chose que j’ai pu commencer, j’aurai tellement regretté de passer à coté de ces années. ils peuvent faire ce qu’ils veulent, c’est trop tard, i saw the tv glow

Rest In peace Zoey, I guess you were always to vibrant and unique to kick it here with all of us humans, but still it seems so unfair how early you were taken. I know you loved this song, and now, because of you, I love it to, and every time I listen to it, or play it on the guitar, I’ll look up and wonder if you can see me or hear me, trying to play you a little concert. I wish I had known you better. And now I can only cherish what experiences I did have. We all still love you so much. 2/4/01 - 11/19/24 or as I like to call it “infinity”. Maybe I’ll see you there? 💙🖤
So, a few years back, there was a wonderful fan-made vid that featured some really dynamic modern dance. But it has disappeared from the interwebs. Any chance anyone reading this knows where to find a copy? And could upload it? It was wonderful.
BSS affected me deeply in my late teens and early 20s. Listening now is like revisiting strange life I lived long ago. Will always love them regardless of lineup
@@loading...7583 I think the instrumental arrangement with the guitars and strings and the banjo is great, also the way everything builds in the back half of the song and releases on a dominant chord is really cathartic, plus the effects on the vocals and the outro are really cool. What would you consider to be some of the best songs ever? I've actually listened to hundreds of albums so I'm curious to see if we have any overlap in our tastes. I mostly enjoy rock and folk but I venture outside those genres sometimes.
Glad I found this now, I turn 18 in exactly 1 week. I’m scared. Despite 17’s struggles it’s been one of the most formative ages of my life and definitely the one where the most has happened. My life reached a point at 17 and I don’t know what to expect from here. I’m living in a dorm at university now, living away from my twin brother for the first time. I remember when we were little and we went to sleepovers without each other and would cry cause we missed one another. He moved in with my dad and grandma and my dad said that he sat in my bed there and cried. I wasn’t sure that he missed me all that much but it reminded me of that. There’s also the added thing that my friend passed away less than a month after I turned 17. He has a twin too. And it’s weird to me cause that friend hadn’t turned 17 yet. When he died I was 17 and he was 16. Technically I’m over a year older than him now instead of two months but he’s still 16 and I’m still 17. It’s easier to pretend he’s still here. This will be the first age I turn without him being alive. And it’s 18. It’s so trippy and symbolic feeling and kind of sickening. We were kids together. We were the sets of twins. We would play videos games and hide and seek and nerf wars in their basement, and watch sonic on their big projector. We’d walk to and from school together. As we got older he’d text the group chat drunk with a million spelling errors. My favourite is “I’m not drunk just a lil tispy”. We kind of had a bit of a falling out and I was gonna use the drama class we were gonna have the semester after he died together to try and become friends again. But he’ll never know I wanted to do that. I’m pretty sure he died thinking I hated him or something. I didn’t. And I was worried about him. And the last time I saw him was the night before he died. He was at my door with his dog asking if my brother was there and he was at work. After I closed the door I thought maybe I should invite him in. I decided that his dog would disturb my dogs if he came in so I decided that next time I would. For some reason I had the terrible feeling I was never gonna see him again. And I never did. So yeah this birthday’s kinda got a lot of stress riding on it. I don’t know what to do or how to feel. I hope it’s better than I’m thinking it will be. I hope I can dream about him sometime soon, just to see his face again.
im still 15, 16 in a couple months. i relate this song to myself but also boys in my past (and present). i’ve changed a lot and so have they, it’s like some of them aren’t even the same person anymore
listening to this and thinking about all the other kids my age who i was online friends with when we were all 10-13 and that i haven't talked with in years, mostly because i had to step away from the online identity i had built for myself since the age of 9 because (much like why i had to escape into the internet and away from my abusive mother) i realized i had stopped liking being that person, realized i did not enjoy being used sexually (which was mostly by other people my age but like, was still heavily traumatizing) and that i couldn't keep avoiding processing how traumatic my entire childhood had been (which was hard being a constantly abused and medically neglected autistic child). i keep thinking about u lately, when i used to look back on my childhood i thought that because i had been so abused and traumatized i had no childhood, but looking back on my old wattpad profiles i realize i was desperately grasping at anything and everything "childish" i could at age 11 to ptove to myself i was still a child. and i realize u was probably in the same boat as i was back then, at first being really serious and writing in really formal grammar despite being a year younger than me and then as we kept being friends moving into writing in the intentionally very extremely broken spanish as i was. i've seen his instagram (can't message back anymore) and he seems like so much more of a person than i could ever be (or at least i am right now that i trying baby steps in learning how to live) and im sure now has no reason to think about the really weird 11 year old girl online who he had a crush on when he was 10 years old. i don't think we'll ever talk again but man, i wasn't lying when i said i've only wanted the best for you (which was why i cut you off back then) and that i've always wanted the best for you. i still mean it
Lmao at reading all these “as a 17 year old girl” as a 30 year old women. A friend showed me this song when I was around 20..I’m tearing up thinking about those days.
It only took them like 20 years to release a video for this. It looks nothing like what I imagined this whole aesthetic to be like in my own head. Kinda like a book vs the movie thing where you hallucinate how everything looks in your mind then it's different when you see the film.
When I turned 16, I was terrified that somehow I would just drop dead. I’d spent years convincing myself I’d never make it there, and after several attempts and healing, I sat there in my room in the pitch dark petrified of midnight. My friend stayed up until the clock hit midnight and I was sixteen. Every day of the last year I proved to myself that I was still going, even forgetting that it was ever scary. I turned 17 a little over a month ago. I’ve lost so many versions of me, but the hardest one was that scared little kid who didn’t know what to do with all this time.
It’s hard. I have so many feeling and I physically can’t let them out so they boil inside of me. Part of me has never been happier and part of me has never hated my life as I do right now.

I’m in a similar place right now, but this comment gives me hope. Thank you
Me too, I'm in the same place now, but I hope things get better soon
❤️✨
A song that you appreciate when you're seventeen but don't *really* appreciate until you're well into your twenties.
I'm 52 and it keeps getting better
Wait till you hit your 30s and you been listening since 17..
I hear this ✌🏻
44 and i still dig it. Lol
Or 40’s.
Shoutout to the “I saw the Tv glow” trailer for bringing me back to this amazing song that I somehow forgot about
Same here my dude I came from the trailer and this is song is pretty good
Same! I literally rewound the trailer like I recognize this from what seems like eons ago.
Yuele cover is this sounds amazing
SAME HERE!!!! Literally have it playing nonstop since that trailer! the memories!!!!
Just to let you know, the version that plays in the trailer is a cover by Yeule
I was 13, bleeding in the hands of a rookie officer. I’m 16, staring at his grave with the scar he helped heal so beautifully. Thank you.
Theres a Story there...
There's still time.
love seeing all the new comments referencing I saw the TV glow lol
a teacher at my uni just died. the year has just started, so i only got to have one lecture with him. he seemed hilarious, was very young and my friend and i kept commenting that he looked like percy jackson. he dispatched the class early after explaining a really fun project. i spent less than an hour in a room with this man but the fact it won't happen again is such a devastating feeling. i don't know if it can even be considered grief, i barely ever knew him, and he never learnt the name of any of my classmates. the fact tomorrow i'll go and carry out all the plans i had feels weird. i never know what to do after someone dies because the world won't stop like it feels it should. the feeling sounds like this song.

Is it alright to have kids if i don't have family or that much friends to be auntie and uncle for my children? I don't know what to do
@mahdieh4978 it's always okay to live your life how you want. If you want kids, have kids. Give them an awesome childhood.

@@endrankluvsda4loko172 you might actually BE a 2,000 year old rock, my friend. you’d be surprised at how far science has come!

YOU ARE CAPABLE. YOU DESERVE HAPPINESS. YOU DESERVE LOVE. YOU DESERVE ACCEPTANCE. and you deserve all of these things unconditionally.
may you all find that. 💕
(and may you also find that, if you haven’t, @lilii1228)
and may you all be conscious of the energy you put out into the world and the universe. vibrate on a high frequency by lifting others up with love and kindness and not on a low vibration by bringing them down and being negative and thoughtless.
compassion matters. if you cannot be kind, don’t say anything at all. scroll on. walk away.
if you can’t find the light - become it. then take that light and share it with others so they may also truly be able to “see”…
sending you light.
what an age to be. 17 is like the gray area between still being a teenager but feeling like an outcast, scared of taking your first steps into adulthood. you're seen as a child but treated as an adult, and the transition into turning 18 is when everything changes
As I can recall, I've never been a seventeen year old girl, but I like the song.
this comment has layers to it
its ok. 17 year old girl is a collective experience
74 and still appreciating
i love you
Old dog new tricks
When psychologists say, “the body remembers,” this song is what they are talking about.
Oof, felt this comment
Psychologists are the worst
truly
As a 17 year old girl this really makes me excited for the future and to listen back and think of me now
As a 27 year old, watch out. It hurts to look back sometimes
Honestly I'd take any advice you or any adults might have because I'm nervous about graduating and being an adult😅 I don't know what to focus on or to look out for at 17 haha

thank you to "i saw the tv glow" for leading me to this masterpiece.
Me too. Movie deals with Queer Identity crisis. Very underrated movie, i am sure it will be nominated for Oscars.
Crazy good album
Found this at 17 and I love the lyrics and their simplicity. People change so much as they get older whether for the better or worse and it’s so easy to cling onto the past when the present seems so hard to deal with. I want things to get better
Still hits after all these years
Its been 2
Omg!! I didn't even know there was a video for this
My girlfriend in high school loved this song and put it on a mix tape for me and it's been so close to my heart ever since. It epitomizes the feelings of innocent love, distance, longing, wonder, betrayal and heart ache that permeated our relationship. We've long gone our ways but the special world we shared for a couple years will stay with me for the rest of my life.
Sounds like a coming of age movie 😂 Nice! 👍
@@Paulie7777every life is his own coming of age movie if you think about it
didnt know there was a video ..ahahahahahahahahahahaahahha Where did you look?
the way you wrote this is pure poetry and made me save this video to my playlist
I'm living through my last few days of being a seventeen year old girl, and I'm not feeling great about it. It feels like I've wasted so much time trying to be older, doing drugs, heavily scrutinizing over myself, and being unhappy. I have no clue what my plans are going forward, but I think i just have to come to terms with that. Even though so many of my peers have everything meticulously planned out for themselves, that doesn't have to be the case for me. I have to give myself a bit more grace, even though that's never been easy. I just celebrated one year clean from drugs, and I'm far happier than I've been in a while, and that's okay for now. Even though I might not know about school or long term employment, I'm doing my best. And that's okay for now.
I'm 20. Obviously haven't had a lot of life experience, but I will say that you're doing great. Don't worry about knowing exactly what you want to do in life, I can safely say that most people, even people older than me, dont. People who have their life planned out also must realize that life can change in an instant, so it's ok to leave things somewhat ambiguous. It's something I've had to accept, but ive come to realize thats one of the great things about life, you never know what could come into your life and thats what makes it exciting.
You will eventually find out what you want to do. If i may suggest, just experience things. Get into hobbies, you may find a liking to the most random things. I found out i wanted to be a criminal investigator after a random school project i did. Youll find your way eventually.
Also, I'm so proud of you for being one year clean. You're doing great, and you'll continue to do so.
@@yourlocalplaguedoctor7023 Thank you so much❤
I loved this song when I was an 18 year old boy. I had dropped out of high school when I was 16 and all of my friends were preparing to start their lives, college, whatever- and I was filled with regret and envy. I am 35 years old with a beautiful family and beautiful home in a beautiful place.
I dislike unsolicited advice but here it goes: just hang on and be as kind and giving as you possibly can to all of the beautiful(inside and out) and nice people around you. Life isn't about things or experiences but the relationships that you build. Good luck! Be nice!
Trust me, you’re doing fine. You’ll blink one day and you’ll be 40, looking back and realising that no one knew what lay ahead of them at 17. Those around you may think that they do, but life has its own plans for you. You will be a hundred different versions of yourself over the years to come. Enjoy the highs and lows and don’t worry too much about the destination. It’s never where you think it’s going to be anyway ❤
wait till you find out… that’s being 17
Today is my last day being 17 9/29/24 it lowkey bittersweet how this song is popular rn thanks to a movie and tiktok. 17 is a sweet age. End of your childhood, almost done with teen years, and soon to be considered a adult. Its scary but got your makeup on and im not coming back like the quote says in the song. I learned alot being 17, I took public bus,learned to do laudry,hanged out with my friends afterschool,be rebillous,make risky decisions,graduated high school, visit a college, attend college and so much more. I cant wait to see what 18 and adulthood brings for me. Its scary but I think i got this❤
How have you been since then? ❤
Grown ass man here this song hit me when I was a 17 year old boy and all the romance and mystery I felt then still slaps today still. Timeless piece and love will always be timeless
This song always reminds me of my friend Claire. I genuinely can’t believe she’s gone and it hurts so much that we didn’t speak before she passed.
❤️ i feel you
Same, remembers my dear friend Mayte, my soul has been absolutely demolished after his departure; Seriously, from the bottom of my heart, I hope you are well my friend.
I hope Knives Chau found true love and is happy
Thank you yeule and a24 for leading me to this gem
yeule is such a gem
I was having a bad day today, and this song managed to make me cry on this bad day, but that doesn't matter at least I discovered this band and this song as a 17 y.o girl I felt special for a moment
Thank you Scott Pilgrim for introducing me to this beautiful song when I was 9. Still listening to this day.
It is also used to great effect in a little ind-film staring Alan Rickman and Sigorne Weaver called SNOWCAKE.
turning fourteen in just over a month, remind me to visit this song every January 18th.
12 year old girl here,i learned about this song though "i saw the tv glow" and tiktok. I have never been happier
oh to be your age again :(
It hits different when you got taken advantaged of when you were 17 and were seeing your tv glow.
The best song about the transience of life that was ever written
Discovering this song as a seventeen year old girl is surreal, i wonder how this song will feel in ten years
Sometimes you will laugh, sometimes you will laugh then cry, others you will sob. Each listen will never bring you back to the same exact memory or moment in time but will always bring you back to that same exact feeling. You will feel exactly how you feel right now but will be looking back on yourself with much kinder eyes and a heart full of love and understanding for that girl. This song is hugging younger you in every phase of life, tucking her hair behind her ear, grabbing her by the face, kissing her forehead and telling her “you done good kid”
@@hotdrop4nesy this is so beautiful
I discovered this song on my last days as a 17 year old and oh boyyy I feel it still. Thank you 💖
It was 2005/2006 for me. I fell in love with them. 😍
Appreciated it about 15 years ago and now still loving it at 40.
I just listened to Toro y Moi “heaven” and thought I recognised those lines from somewhere… ❤ Came back here and I haven’t stopped listening on repeat.
came from toro y moi’s video too haha
same
yes indeed
I once was a seventeen year old girl playing this on repeat while laying on my bed imagining who I would be as a woman. Now I'm a grown woman laying on my bed thinking about the seventeen year old girl I once was. Life is funny like that sometimes.
i’m almost seventeen playing this on repeat while laying on my bed :) hopefully i will live a long happy life and will be able to grow up like you have
Nostalgia is cruel most of the time. Be careful not to get trapped thinking about what you should of done or said because its too late but every moment is another chance to turn it all around.
How are you a grown woman now when this song has been out for almost two years only
Old song!! @@justchillinwhilewatchinyoutube
@@justchillinwhilewatchinyoutube this song was released in 2002
I'm a man who's pushing sixty, and that line still slays me: "Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me..."
I'm not a girl but a dude that was a huge BSS fan growing up. I was 21 when this song was released and still enjoying my youth partying with friends. I found this song again after 20+ years and MY GOD this song hits so hard now that I'm in my 40s. BSS fan for life.
The kind of song that reminds you of an old girlfriend. Nothing quite like being a teenager in love.
Listen to O’Brien by m ward for that same vibe
exactly how i feel, especially the line ”used to be one of the rotten ones and i liked you for that”
For me it’s about a girl who was a friend, a coworker, and often my ride home since my ass couldn’t be bothered at the time to have a license and most importantly, who went way before her time very recently. This was one of her favorite songs, I’d never actually listened to it, until tonight, now that she’s gone, and I just can’t help but wish I hadn’t forgotten or waited so long to do it. Now it’s attached to her for me, and that’s both so heavy and almost crushing to feel, but at the same time, i think of her when I hear this, and it’s like for four and a half minutes, she’s still here, I can feel her presence. I love you Zoey, as I did then, and still now, forever onwards.
Haven’t heard this in 10+ years and suddenly it popped into my head. Thanks for the music 🙏
First heard this on 88.5 WRKC in 2002. Took another 10 years before I finally found it again. Seen a random meme that reminded me of it again and here I am. Still bangs.
Thats crazy i heard it for the first time on 88.5 WKPX in FL probably 10 years ago
2:10 this part>>>
i turn 18 tomorrow. i cant say im ready, but the world certainly wont wait until i am
beautifully done. it captures the pain of being a young woman very well.
what a beautifull song. I have some special nomemories thank to that song...wine, pancakes, me and this shy girl...Moreover, the whole album has a special place in my heart. I had to leave my home, which is in a dictatorship country , to search for better life and better future, which lead to loosing part of myself, part of my subjectivity..Those who have been through immigration know the stuff : all your previous relations are gone, you've got start everything over. And Broken Social Scene's music have been such a company in those dark times, when I had to hide in my immanense, so I would not experience these lacks that every normal human beings doesn't experience. I felt like I wasn't alone even though emptiness was never leaving. I believe no artist compose music with such intentions, but I am convinced it's important to give such feedbacks, so they would know how their music influences humans across the planet across . I hope they will read this🖤🖤🖤
this is very beautiful. glad the music kept you company in such hard times! my grandparents immigrated to america from latvia as children and i can’t imagine how scary it must be to leave your home country behind, especially when it’s not your decision to.
@@lucien760 ♥️♥️♥️
You are wonder to share this. Thanks.
i just turned 18, listened to this and cried bc idk if ill ever be fine
j’ai 18 ans en mars, et j’avais terriblement peur d’avoir 18 ans. j’ai regardé i saw the tv glow et je suis revenu à cette chanson que j’avais totalement oublié, je suis tellement heureux d’être de retour. je pensais que ma vie commencerai très tard mais je suis sous hormones depuis 1 an et demi et j’ai l’impression d’être vivant, de pouvoir être un adolescent et d’avoir le droit de devenir l’adulte que je mérite d’être. je parle jamais de ma transition à mes proches parce que je passe totalement comme un homme et j’ai peur qu’ils ne me voient plus comme ça s’ils se rappel de qui je suis aussi : trans.
transitionner à été la meilleur chose que j’ai pu commencer, j’aurai tellement regretté de passer à coté de ces années.
ils peuvent faire ce qu’ils veulent, c’est trop tard, i saw the tv glow
When I was a seventeen year old boy this was my anthem.
I’m not seventeen years old nor am I a girl but this song hits me for some reason
There is still time.
this may be the best song I've ever heard.
Lyrics
Used to be one of the wretched ones and I liked you for that
Used to be one of the wretched ones and I liked you for that
Used to be one of the wretched ones and I liked you for that
Now you're all gone, got your make-up on and you're not coming back
Can't you come back?
Used to be one of the rotten ones and I liked you for that
Used to be one of the rotten ones and I liked you for that
Used to be one of the rotten ones and I liked you for that
Now you're all gone, got your make-up on and you're not coming back
Bleaching your teeth, smiling flash, talking trash, under your breath
Bleaching your teeth, smiling flash, talking trash, under your breath
Bleaching your teeth, smiling flash, talking trash, under your breath
Bleaching your teeth, smiling flash, talking trash, under my window
Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me
Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me
Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me
Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me
Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me
Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me
Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me
Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me
Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me
Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me
Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me
Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me
Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me
Park that car, drop that phone
Park that car, drop that phone (dream about me)
Park that car, drop that phone
Park that car, drop that phone (dream about me)
Park that car, drop that phone
Used to be one of the rotten ones and I liked you for that
Now you're all gone, got your make-up on and you're not coming back
I love this song so much it hurts.
Me too
It's a great song
I will be grateful for Scott Pilgrim vs. The World for introducing me to this song.
this song was in pilgrim????
@@malikshakur1306 you'll hear the song play in the background after Scott's band Sex Bob-Omb wins battle of the bands against Ramona's Twin exes.
One of my favorite scenes
I first heard this song in First Girl I Loved film, it is truly excellent.
my cousin, Mary Elizabeth Winstead was in that movie 💕
Rest In peace Zoey, I guess you were always to vibrant and unique to kick it here with all of us humans, but still it seems so unfair how early you were taken. I know you loved this song, and now, because of you, I love it to, and every time I listen to it, or play it on the guitar, I’ll look up and wonder if you can see me or hear me, trying to play you a little concert. I wish I had known you better. And now I can only cherish what experiences I did have. We all still love you so much. 2/4/01 - 11/19/24 or as I like to call it “infinity”. Maybe I’ll see you there? 💙🖤
“Park that car, throw that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me”
The lyrics that described my teenage years perfectly
It's drop that phone actually
@@reptilian_0autocorrector ajakak
still dont remember who recommended me this song years ago, and it makes me kinda sad bcs i love it
glad to remember this song after listing hundred if not more times as a teen. still hits hard.
core memory music. thanks for taking me back, guys
hello trans community. if you saw the tv glow, keep it glowing. never let your light go out. there is still time.
So, a few years back, there was a wonderful fan-made vid that featured some really dynamic modern dance. But it has disappeared from the interwebs. Any chance anyone reading this knows where to find a copy? And could upload it? It was wonderful.
This particular mix sounds better than the rest.. hands down. Idk if it’s bc it’s unmastered or what but it’s just great
One of my fav songs!! I love BSS !! Big ups!!
Sometimes Spotify knows what they're doing
BSS affected me deeply in my late teens and early 20s. Listening now is like revisiting strange life I lived long ago. Will always love them regardless of lineup
She gets home, exhausted from work, drops to the floor, exhausted from her life's fakeness. And dreams about her younger self.
One of the best songs ever
came here to say these exact words✨
Truly
You need to listen to more music if you think this is the best ever. lol
@@loading...7583 I think the instrumental arrangement with the guitars and strings and the banjo is great, also the way everything builds in the back half of the song and releases on a dominant chord is really cathartic, plus the effects on the vocals and the outro are really cool.
What would you consider to be some of the best songs ever? I've actually listened to hundreds of albums so I'm curious to see if we have any overlap in our tastes. I mostly enjoy rock and folk but I venture outside those genres sometimes.
@@EthePianoMan bru. Chill, you don’t have to write me an essay. It was a joke. Now I’m gon go feel guilty in a corner. Thanks 😠
where had this song been all my life gods
Glad I found this now, I turn 18 in exactly 1 week. I’m scared. Despite 17’s struggles it’s been one of the most formative ages of my life and definitely the one where the most has happened. My life reached a point at 17 and I don’t know what to expect from here. I’m living in a dorm at university now, living away from my twin brother for the first time. I remember when we were little and we went to sleepovers without each other and would cry cause we missed one another. He moved in with my dad and grandma and my dad said that he sat in my bed there and cried. I wasn’t sure that he missed me all that much but it reminded me of that. There’s also the added thing that my friend passed away less than a month after I turned 17. He has a twin too. And it’s weird to me cause that friend hadn’t turned 17 yet. When he died I was 17 and he was 16. Technically I’m over a year older than him now instead of two months but he’s still 16 and I’m still 17. It’s easier to pretend he’s still here. This will be the first age I turn without him being alive. And it’s 18. It’s so trippy and symbolic feeling and kind of sickening. We were kids together. We were the sets of twins. We would play videos games and hide and seek and nerf wars in their basement, and watch sonic on their big projector. We’d walk to and from school together. As we got older he’d text the group chat drunk with a million spelling errors. My favourite is “I’m not drunk just a lil tispy”. We kind of had a bit of a falling out and I was gonna use the drama class we were gonna have the semester after he died together to try and become friends again. But he’ll never know I wanted to do that. I’m pretty sure he died thinking I hated him or something. I didn’t. And I was worried about him. And the last time I saw him was the night before he died. He was at my door with his dog asking if my brother was there and he was at work. After I closed the door I thought maybe I should invite him in. I decided that his dog would disturb my dogs if he came in so I decided that next time I would. For some reason I had the terrible feeling I was never gonna see him again. And I never did. So yeah this birthday’s kinda got a lot of stress riding on it. I don’t know what to do or how to feel. I hope it’s better than I’m thinking it will be. I hope I can dream about him sometime soon, just to see his face again.
Coming back to this song in 2024 and is still a magnificent piece of beautiful music. And a reminder of beauty in this world. 🥲❤️
Astonishingly beautiful song.
I love how Scott Pilgrim is in my recommended feed while listening to this song. Such an amazing track!
Gorgeous video for a gorgeous song.
im still 15, 16 in a couple months. i relate this song to myself but also boys in my past (and present). i’ve changed a lot and so have they, it’s like some of them aren’t even the same person anymore
listening to this and thinking about all the other kids my age who i was online friends with when we were all 10-13 and that i haven't talked with in years, mostly because i had to step away from the online identity i had built for myself since the age of 9 because (much like why i had to escape into the internet and away from my abusive mother) i realized i had stopped liking being that person, realized i did not enjoy being used sexually (which was mostly by other people my age but like, was still heavily traumatizing) and that i couldn't keep avoiding processing how traumatic my entire childhood had been (which was hard being a constantly abused and medically neglected autistic child).
i keep thinking about u lately, when i used to look back on my childhood i thought that because i had been so abused and traumatized i had no childhood, but looking back on my old wattpad profiles i realize i was desperately grasping at anything and everything "childish" i could at age 11 to ptove to myself i was still a child. and i realize u was probably in the same boat as i was back then, at first being really serious and writing in really formal grammar despite being a year younger than me and then as we kept being friends moving into writing in the intentionally very extremely broken spanish as i was. i've seen his instagram (can't message back anymore) and he seems like so much more of a person than i could ever be (or at least i am right now that i trying baby steps in learning how to live) and im sure now has no reason to think about the really weird 11 year old girl online who he had a crush on when he was 10 years old. i don't think we'll ever talk again but man, i wasn't lying when i said i've only wanted the best for you (which was why i cut you off back then) and that i've always wanted the best for you. i still mean it
“I saw the Tv glow” brought me back here!, amen.....
Lmao at reading all these “as a 17 year old girl” as a 30 year old women. A friend showed me this song when I was around 20..I’m tearing up thinking about those days.
have been loved this songs for years and surprised to find the official video for it
"I just came to see your show"
KINVESSS
This song runs through my veins ❤
It only took them like 20 years to release a video for this. It looks nothing like what I imagined this whole aesthetic to be like in my own head. Kinda like a book vs the movie thing where you hallucinate how everything looks in your mind then it's different when you see the film.
needing the yeule version asap!!!
How did I spend basically four months of being 17 missing this song 🥺
Awesome video
I missed this song sooooo long
there is still time
When I turned 16, I was terrified that somehow I would just drop dead. I’d spent years convincing myself I’d never make it there, and after several attempts and healing, I sat there in my room in the pitch dark petrified of midnight. My friend stayed up until the clock hit midnight and I was sixteen. Every day of the last year I proved to myself that I was still going, even forgetting that it was ever scary. I turned 17 a little over a month ago. I’ve lost so many versions of me, but the hardest one was that scared little kid who didn’t know what to do with all this time.
Listened everyday at seventeen, ad dad drove me to school, early 2000s, what a time. This and frou frou
Gold.
only 200k views????? this song is so underrated i love it so much
A girl I thought was pretty cool had this song on her MySpace home page.
can't believe yuele covered this mind blown
It’s hard. I have so many feeling and I physically can’t let them out so they boil inside of me. Part of me has never been happier and part of me has never hated my life as I do right now.
New rule: You only get to make an official video if the song is a 20+ year old classic.
This is a reupload from videotape 😂
Don't tell me what to do....
top 5 canadian band of all time
turning seventeen in six months or so. wish me luck
If you found this, you'll be good, don't worry
Happy Birthday!!🎉
good luck, halfway to 18 now i assume? 🫡
