God bless Phantom Planet for this beautiful song of California. It’s so sad and tragic what’s happening right now in beautiful California with the Southern California wild fires including Pacific Palisades.
In italy in the 2000's if you were a kid after school on tv between dragon ball and the simpson during the commercials there was always oc amd smalville. Before going out with the friends playing soccer or whatever there were those catchy tune that stayed in your head.. So even miles away from you people feel the same way
In 2018, I travelled from Germany to California and took the album with me. We rented a car, we drove down highway 1 and listened to this song while driving. Exactly in this moment when we saw the ocean for the first time, the line „looking out for number 1“ came up. This was one of the greatest moments in my whole life! 😢❤❤❤
I'll never forget the moment this song was playing on our flight back home from Iraq to Cali in '06 as all 130+ of us Marines sang along word for word at the top of our lungs as the plane made its descent returning us home to American soil; it was a moment of pure joy and one I'll never forget. Listening to this song 16 years later it brought an enormous smile to my face, this song definitely has a special place in my heart. Thank you for this song guys!
That was emotional to read my man. But I know the exact feeling you’re talking about but we were on a Royal Navy ship lol. From a British Royal Marine veteran to US Marine Corps veteran…. Ooh Rah!
This feels like a road trip before the end of my adolescence. You know it’s ending and just taking everything with your friends in the car. That comfortable silence of basking in those California sunsets. Next thing you know you’re living somewhere else and no other place will be as special as California.
same here man. grew up in california and they were the best years of my life. after 8 years of living there i had to leave all my friends and the californian lifestyle to move to austria. now i listen to this song for the memories that i had with my friends and in hopes that i ever move back.
This song was one of the reasons I wanted to come to California and USA, a childhood dream. As soon as I got my driver’s license, I drove on 101 to Hollywood ..... truly blessed to be in CA🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Born into a military family is the only reason I left my home state of California but now I’m back and 21 years old. A lot has changed when I left but I’m not going anywhere because I’m finally home.🥳🥳🥳 #i’mbackhome
I've known this song for years but this is the first time i've ever seen the video!! I have been a musician playing gigs for like 12 years and touring for about 8 years but my band broke up recently. This video hits me right in the feels and makes me miss touring and gigging so much. This video is just perfect at showing exactly what it's like on the road with your mates without a care in the world and just living life to the max, loading in to the venue, going off and exploring the town / city you're playing in, messing around, come back to sound check, chill in the green room for a bit, listen to the other bands sound check, have a chat with them, check merch is all set up, watch the other bands, play, have a beer with strangers, do it all again the next day all with your mates. Those were the days.
Man, as a guy in his late 30's this hits on a lot of levels. Nostalgia for the freedom and simplicity of your teens and 20's. Just going out with your boys on a bus and seeing the sites, eating iffy food, taking joy in simple things. Try that when your older.
You still felt free in your 20s? I’m jealous. I’m 27 and I haven’t felt young or free in ages. It’s been all work, school, build a house and repeat. I can’t even remember the last time I felt care free and young. 20 or 21 was the last time I felt like I was ok to just be and exist, since then I’ve only felt the weight of adult responsibility. I did end up building my own home after paying off my student debt, and I’m working on a second degree, yet I always feel like I’m somehow behind in life. I can never relax or enjoy myself because I always have this sense that I should be in someway furthering my self and status. I’m not shitting on your comment. I honestly think it’s wonderful that you were able to enjoy your twenties. I feel like I wasted them striving for something that will always be out of my reach. I really hope I don’t wake up 25 years from now and think about how I wasted my youth worrying about my future.
@@sspsp6545 I hear ya. I did say in my original comment "teens and 20's" cause like you, I had responsibilities too, in my early 20's I had a wife who had issues, who I had to take care of, college, working 2-3 jobs at the same time, responsibilities, etc. I will say, while I don't know you, don't know how old you are, but if you don't have children, take a sec to enjoy what you have worked so hard to earn. I had a little period while I was leaving my ex-wife, and before I got serious with my current wife, where I was able to enjoy that. Its not the same as the freedom of your teens and 20s, in some ways its better, to say take a week vacation or a weekend trip somewhere, get lost in the culture, you can do that when your older and established if you don't have overwhelming responsibilities like a young family. I have a sense of anxiety about stuff too, mine is cause of the great recession and covid recessions that I have lived through, and making sure all my stuff is in order. But do take time to enjoy it. I am not saying be a selfish asshole that neglects or hurts others, but remember, you only live once, you only have vibrant youth once, father time is undefeated, try to find the balance of living your life to the fullest now, with a solid future as well. Good luck to you.
@@sspsp6545 I know that feeling exactly. 32 now… stuck in your head. Not sure if you’re making the right decision. Don’t even know what you want from life. Sometimes in a state of dazed - always reaching for another reality, a better life… when everything is perfect. Never satisfied with life, as it is.
First concert ever when I was like 8 years old was No Doubt and Blink182 and these guys opened the show. This the first song I remember ever hearing live. ✝️🕊✝️🕊
OC is the only series i saw even tho im male + dont like those love/drama/teenage vibes. I will never forget "Chrismukkah". Ryan his superretarded brother i will hate until end. Also i will never forget how insanly nice the short haired blonde girl was, who helped Seth to get into Summer. The Plot Twist with Luke turning into a real Friend - genius by the storywriter.
I saw Phantom Planet at an Incubus concert in 2002. I didn’t know who they were at the time, but this song stuck with me all these laters. A fan for life now. See everyone in another 20 years!
Yeah I saw them with Sting back then. I actually had heard of them. Was disappointed I had to see them at a Sting concert bc my tickets sucked and no-one seemed to know who they were. Heck I knew every Indy and Emo band on the planet back then.
My older brother use to play this song on his Ipod. That was in 2007. Now he's getting married in 2021 and I'm really proud of him. 💙 :) Edit: Wow these likes came out of nowhere!
I'm Moroccan heard this song 20 years ago , used to play it every monring had in a cassette recorded from Mtv , now I'm listening to it from Texas (my new home ) , same feeling but even better .
This song is that feeling you can't describe, as if everything you will ever be, your destiny, your love, hopes and dreams are culminated into one expression.
It is sad and nostalgic because it remembers to us the moments with our friends and shows us that you won’t be able to revive those moments when you get old
Moved away from my home (CA) about 20 years ago, some places further than others. This song takes me back and makes me feel like I'm home again for a few minutes.❤
I’m from the north east but listening to this song while riding down the PCH on my motorcycle was a life changing moment and I will never forget that feeling.
I came to Northern Virginia about a year ago. Tried to live here. I've been totally homesick. Going back in a couple days to stay. I can truly say, I love Cali. The weather, the beaches, the peeps, everything. Can't wait! The best State. Miss home
Lucky to be living in California, say whatever you want about this place but California has oozes so much energy; a feeling that everything is possible even if it is not but you always finish on a high note.
I played this song while moving to California in 2015. Although I’ve moved since, this song always brings me back to that time on the freeway driving through Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona before arriving home.
I’ve never lived in California literally but since I was a young kid, I’ve lived there through music, movies, tv shows, sports, clothing stores (Hollister), pictures, vacations, and in dreams of living in a mansion by the beach. That’s got to be why this feels so nostalgic to us non-Californians.
+Snabbie yes, Japan to be exact. The moving company there were polite so the process was not much of a difficulty. Although there are differences in education speed for Japan and America so there are many things I must catch up to be able to challenge any universities. Although second language will help you a lot to get accepted in entrance exams. So probably if you can prove yourself that you have learned and have experienced the culture you used to stay in plus being able to catch up in education, it will be an advantage against normal people.
A Floridian here, I just posted this on my Facebook page, in solidarity with everyone - celebrity or civilian - whose lives have been impacted by these fires over the last several days!
This was one of those songs that would randomly come on the radio as I rode to the beach with my dad as a kid. Now I’m all grown up with my own apartment. I just want that simple life again
It's being an "age" that we miss. Not the decade, etc. It was simpler when we were kids, teens, or young adults. But, that's regardless of what decade or years it was. I'm Gen X... 55 y.o. It's a bit disheartening when my friends say that it was better in the 70s and 80s. It wasn't. Our childhood and youth was 'better', more care-free. "Life" was NOT for the adults. Same/similar stresses as adults today. [Less ominous threat of all-out nuclear war with the USSR, though. So, that's nice.] RFK quote [NOT "RFK Jr" the kook running for 2024]: *_"There are people in every time and every land who want to stop history in its tracks. They fear the future, mistrust the present, and invoke the security of a comfortable past which, in fact, never existed._* [yeah, I'm gonna be the realist and crap on the thread... truly sorry.] The past as a kid/teen is not an accurate picture of what that reality was, though. More accurately, you long for how it felt to be a kid. Not the period of time. Ask your parents, and grandparents, if you still have them. They'll say the same thing as you... they think they miss how it was in the [insert decade[s] here] but they really miss how it felt to be a kid, teen or young adult, before 'adult' responsibilities and awareness of the tragic or unjust parts of life played a larger role in our view of life. All that said... 100% keep listening to your favorite music from the past!!!! And the new stuff, too! 🤘
This song pushes me to get my impossible dream. For me, California in this song is not just a place but a goal you have a burning desire to achieve no matter what it takes. Here's to 2021, happy holidays everyone!
You can but it's quite expensive and people here can be rude and there's a lot of crime and homelessness, we have really hot summers, and a water crisis.
This song encapsulates California in 2002--20 years is a long time. California is radically different from when this song was written celebrating it. It's kind of a wasteland now.
This song brings back memories! :D Edit: Drove cross country to California. The moment I got over the state line and the GPS said "Welcome to California" I had to throw this song on.
I miss the 2000s, that was the most fun time to be alive. Sure every kid has a phone now and stuff but we were so free and could get away with having so much more fun! These days everything is so much more complicated 😪
it's not a good thing that Now every kid has a phone. it would be ok if Phone were the same we had back in the day.. just calling, texting and Snake...
2010 - I drove home to California from having spent the previous 3.5 years in Iraq, Kansas, Georgia, and Kentucky for Uncle Sam. This song gave me a serious case of the home sickness every time I listened to it when I was away, but it also welcomed me back when I crossed the state line on the interstate. One chapter of life completed, another one about to be revisited...
My family has this tradition whenever we cross cali borders to go see family we blast this song out. I lived in cali for 13 years before moving. Fun tradition
no one's going to see this but I'll just say it: this song motivated me so much to finally move out to socal, its been a dream of mine since i was a kid (27 now). I'll always have a place in my heart for this song 💟💟
Its 2021 and all I want to do is to transport myself back to the early 2000s. I mean I am fucking only 20 and still I feel those were the best days! Love THE OC !
In 2002, I went on a date with a girl to see the movie Orange County, which features this song. I was a virgin when the date started. By the end of the date, I was still a virgin.
I used to play this song on background and play gta vice city when i was little, now this song brings back all those happy nostalgic memorjes. Good ol' days
This song reminds me of the summer of 2014 when I went on my first vacation outside of Europe. We flew to San Francisco and drove the 101 up to Seattle. And we would listen to this song sooo many times while driving. Just reminds me of summer, vacation, good times. Hope we all get that feelings back soon and travel will be possible again.
This song is like an old friend you haven't see in ages
True

Hah yeah❤️
This song makes me want to go back to my life in California and I’ve never even been to California

I’ve never been to California but this song makes me feel life I was born there
100%. Very popular in the military. I'm from CA but was stationed at Camp Pendleton...was kind of an anthem for us back then lol
Hearing this song in 2022 makes me cry. Is it nostalgia? Is it hope? Am I still obsessed with The OC all these years later?
X2
YES
YES
Yes bro
Omg yesssss
Can't believe I'd ever feel nostalgic for The OC but then here we are.
Same, time sure flies
Medcezir, a perfect adaptation of The OC.
I still remember when it came out & it was the 'it' show
サラ exactly 😪😍
i rewatch it every year lmao i love the cast so much
Holy crap. I did not expect this song to really transport me back to the early 2000s. Can’t recall a song ever making me feel this nostalgic
high school days
100% same here, early 2000s in California. That song nails the entire thing. Front to back. And the video!
I had to do a double-take and realize that this song is in fact 20 years old....20 years...wtf.
In italy in the 2000's if you were a kid after school on tv between dragon ball and the simpson during the commercials there was always oc amd smalville. Before going out with the friends playing soccer or whatever there were those catchy tune that stayed in your head.. So even miles away from you people feel the same way

From a British Royal Marine veteran to US Marine Corps veteran…. Ooh Rah!
Those were the days brother. Getting off that plane at March AFB and smelling "fresh" air for the first time in 8 months was such a good feeling.

Growing up as a poor black kid in Indiana, this song along with a couple others motivated me to create the life I have
I am 27 now. This song not only marked my juvenile years but it gets better to listen to the older you get 💯
27 in June, I’m right there with you!!
This song is that feeling you can't describe, as if everything you will ever be, your destiny, your love, hopes and dreams are culminated into one expression.
This song takes me back to 17yrs old. Bonfires on the beach, my high school sweetheart, they were simpler times… such great memories….
As a Californian I love this song so much .
Me too haha. It brings a chill to my spine everytime I hear it, fuck the 2000s was an awesome time to be alive in Cali
It is sad and nostalgic because it remembers to us the moments with our friends and shows us that you won’t be able to revive those moments when you get old
Crazy how I only lived in California for a month yet this gives me so much nostalgia to that time. Makes me want to go back.
This song makes me want to move to California even though I already live in California.

I’ve never lived in California literally but since I was a young kid, I’ve lived there through music, movies, tv shows, sports, clothing stores (Hollister), pictures, vacations, and in dreams of living in a mansion by the beach. That’s got to be why this feels so nostalgic to us non-Californians.
BEST...ROAD...TRIP.....SONG....EVER!!!
Moving back to California.
New school, new life, new country.
This song gives me pride and courage!
Good luck with everything
Thank you ;)
So you moved from another country to the US?
What was the process like?
Hoping to move there too after my education.
+Snabbie yes, Japan to be exact.
The moving company there were polite so the process was not much of a difficulty. Although there are differences in education speed for Japan and America so there are many things I must catch up to be able to challenge any universities. Although second language will help you a lot to get accepted in entrance exams.
So probably if you can prove yourself that you have learned and have experienced the culture you used to stay in plus being able to catch up in education, it will be an advantage against normal people.
Bro our profiles lmao!!
This song takes me back to the time when I didn’t have worries
Same:)
Oh I worried about my grades.

A Floridian here, I just posted this on my Facebook page, in solidarity with everyone - celebrity or civilian - whose lives have been impacted by these fires over the last several days!
This was one of those songs that would randomly come on the radio as I rode to the beach with my dad as a kid.
Now I’m all grown up with my own apartment. I just want that simple life again
It's too late in the day for that life. I get you. 100%
I wish for that life, every second of every day
Same here im finally living here in cali❤❤❤ west coast
It's being an "age" that we miss. Not the decade, etc. It was simpler when we were kids, teens, or young adults. But, that's regardless of what decade or years it was. I'm Gen X... 55 y.o. It's a bit disheartening when my friends say that it was better in the 70s and 80s. It wasn't. Our childhood and youth was 'better', more care-free. "Life" was NOT for the adults. Same/similar stresses as adults today. [Less ominous threat of all-out nuclear war with the USSR, though. So, that's nice.]
RFK quote [NOT "RFK Jr" the kook running for 2024]: *_"There are people in every time and every land who want to stop history in its tracks. They fear the future, mistrust the present, and invoke the security of a comfortable past which, in fact, never existed._*
[yeah, I'm gonna be the realist and crap on the thread... truly sorry.] The past as a kid/teen is not an accurate picture of what that reality was, though. More accurately, you long for how it felt to be a kid. Not the period of time. Ask your parents, and grandparents, if you still have them. They'll say the same thing as you... they think they miss how it was in the [insert decade[s] here] but they really miss how it felt to be a kid, teen or young adult, before 'adult' responsibilities and awareness of the tragic or unjust parts of life played a larger role in our view of life.
All that said... 100% keep listening to your favorite music from the past!!!! And the new stuff, too! 🤘
I'm going to California in a few days for the first time I'm honestly excited and can't wait to listen to this on the plane
Jason Schwartzman has had the ultimate indie cool career
This is the only legit comment on here...most have to google the name and try to put it together. Fuckabees
West coast by coconut records if you like this.
Indie? The guy comes from a legendary Hollywood family lol, he's awesome and does great shit but his career was never indie.

Greatest American freedom song ever.
This song pushes me to get my impossible dream. For me, California in this song is not just a place but a goal you have a burning desire to achieve no matter what it takes. Here's to 2021, happy holidays everyone!
You can but it's quite expensive and people here can be rude and there's a lot of crime and homelessness, we have really hot summers, and a water crisis.
This song encapsulates California in 2002--20 years is a long time. California is radically different from when this song was written celebrating it. It's kind of a wasteland now.
Thats embarrassing
Proof that even when we came into the 21st century, we still had artists with amazing talent
There's quite nothing like how nostalgic songs make you time travel back to an exact memory, place, feeling, smell, and experience. Just timeless 🖤
Never thought I'd miss these days.
The O.C.
This song brings back memories! :D
Edit: Drove cross country to California. The moment I got over the state line and the GPS said "Welcome to California" I had to throw this song on.
I watched the OC for the first time yesterday cos of this song and I'm hooked on it yewww
NewtChonk such an amazing show. Ryan, Seth, sandy, Kirsten, summer
You are in for a treat. Season one is the best by far.
On season 2 now, season 1 really tugged the emotions haha
NewtChonk I cried when Marissa died 💔😟
Most find the song due to the show. Kinda fun to see the other way around
Driving down Big Bear mountain this weekend and this song came on. I got choked up. Leaving Cali in the mid 2000's was the worst mistake we ever made.
Ryan atwood and cohen, everytime I hear this song It reminds me instantly to the oc intro
I never watched The OC and I'm not American but heck, nostalgia
I think it was a big hit in the UK
The american Skins with less mdma :v
It was really dramatic and a teen soap opera, but we loved it lol.
It was very famous in Italy too
The OC. Marcou minha adolescência, juventude top demais. Saudações Brasileira. 👏👏👏
Simmm
Marcou a minha tbm
To revendo com minha mina agora, perfeito
Assisti essa série, muito top
Cali is my home, I missed her so badly too.
I listen that song since i was 10 years old, and by the rhythm it makes me cry a bit
I miss the 2000s, that was the most fun time to be alive. Sure every kid has a phone now and stuff but we were so free and could get away with having so much more fun! These days everything is so much more complicated 😪
it's not a good thing that Now every kid has a phone. it would be ok if Phone were the same we had back in the day.. just calling, texting and Snake...
Most kids had phones when I was in elementary school (2001-2005), at least when I was in 3rd and 4th grade.
the O.C. !!!
Makes me wish me and my mom and sisters were all together again chillin in the living room man.. so many memories with this song playin out the tv.💙
oh nostalgia!
Me too!
That glass heinz ketchup bottle gives me hard nostalgia.
brasil?
2010 - I drove home to California from having spent the previous 3.5 years in Iraq, Kansas, Georgia, and Kentucky for Uncle Sam. This song gave me a serious case of the home sickness every time I listened to it when I was away, but it also welcomed me back when I crossed the state line on the interstate. One chapter of life completed, another one about to be revisited...
Thank you for your service and god bless America and god bless you. Salute
I’m not even American but respect for your service man
Thanks, brother. Appreciate you.
Your fault if you were dumb enough to join the military.
Wow, they sent you to Kansas? I'm so sorry for your loss
The O.C, a melhor série que eu já assisti! Nostalgia total, que música linda!
Os BR dominam o youtube mundial!
Hahaha Verdade, o Br domina tudo 😂
Poha nem fala oc era muito foda até matarem a principal e ferrar com tudo
Raphael Braga Salvioli pse parei de assistirdepois que ela morreu
melhor série❤️
*AEEEEEEEEEEE*
THIS SONG MAKES ME FEEL NOSTALGIC AS I HAVE BEEN TO CALIFORNIA OR IF I WAS BORN THERE THOUGH I'VE NEVER BEEN THERE.Really wanna go there.😊
i was looking for this song for years, and now i find it
same
Best O.C series.
As an Indie artist, you can't help to love this song!! This song doesn't feel manufactured or overly produced, it is just pure pop gold.
My family has this tradition whenever we cross cali borders to go see family we blast this song out. I lived in cali for 13 years before moving. Fun tradition
that is son fun!
Still the best intro song to a show ever, together with the Smallville one...early 2000s teen dramas were perfection
I haven't heard this in ages. The nostalgia is real
No matter where life takes me this song immediately takes me back to sophomore year and what a time that was
no one's going to see this but I'll just say it:
this song motivated me so much to finally move out to socal, its been a dream of mine since i was a kid (27 now). I'll always have a place in my heart for this song 💟💟
Good luck! FYI California is ruled by a bunch of incompetent idiots.
Did you ever move to so cal?
Its 2021 and all I want to do is to transport myself back to the early 2000s. I mean I am fucking only 20 and still I feel those were the best days! Love THE OC !
As an elder millinial.
Yes.
You'd be a baby
Me too
Me too
Best years ever
In 2002, I went on a date with a girl to see the movie Orange County, which features this song. I was a virgin when the date started. By the end of the date, I was still a virgin.
hahah
It's okay man,
virginity rocks :)
Interesting
This song is not in orange county this song was the theme for the OC
I used to play this song on background and play gta vice city when i was little, now this song brings back all those happy nostalgic memorjes. Good ol' days
Perfect road trip song
this song makes me mourn memory of THE O.C
Never over it
i just started watchin them all again on amazon
this song is O.C.!
Ikr! I miss it.
Ikr! I miss it.
The OC was my shit when I was younger. This songs 14 years old. Time flies.
This song is always in my head. Makes me dream of a Californian life I’ve never lived. Always passing through.
This song reminds me of the summer of 2014 when I went on my first vacation outside of Europe. We flew to San Francisco and drove the 101 up to Seattle. And we would listen to this song sooo many times while driving. Just reminds me of summer, vacation, good times. Hope we all get that feelings back soon and travel will be possible again.
You drove 101?
