I always get chills when Parker sings 'Don't paint me black when I used to be golden.' I think it means like "I know that things have changed and we aren't what we used to be, but don't make it seem like our memories together were a waste of time. They were golden." I don't know it's just kind of how I interpret it. I also think it's called 'Clairvoyant' because he can like see the future of their relationship and that it's coming to an end. This is a beautiful song and The Story So Far is amazing.
Claire And Kate Music I interrupted it as they broke up and they want to hate each other but they cant because they loved each other so much. So their love for one another made them golden and the fact that they want the other to be the bad guy or the one whos wrong is them painting each other black.
I think it's like when you break up with an ex and suddenly you are all bad. Good moments don't exist anymore. Don't paint me all bad when you used to think the world of me.
I’ve had the same feeling when I first listened to this song, I thought about the fact that no matter how happy and beautiful the time that we spent with that person was, sometimes pain takes over, yet I think that it’s all worth it, we have been lucky enough to love someone and for me it’s the best feeling.
This song reminds me of my ex. We broke up in a way that was incredibly traumatic. No physical harm or cheating was done, not even talking down to one another. But I have lived her for all these years, and we have recently come back into each other’s lives. The line of “don’t paint me black when I use to be golden” reminds me of us now and before. She use to look at me as I was this special person, and she loved me so much and I was perfect in her eyes. Now even though we spend tome and hang out, she hates me from what happened between us. And that’s the painting black, after how she use to see me... I will forever love her. And I hope things will be better between us.
My 32 year old brother passed away in April from a drug overdose... He randomly texted me the line "don't paint me black when I used to be golden" just a few weeks prior to that... Definitely hits alot harder now when I hear that line... Miss you brobeans, I hope you have finally found the peace you've been in search of for years...
Aww thank you kindly guys and gals. I know he wouldn't want me to be sad all the time, so I'm trying my best to stay strong! He lives on through all the lives he has touched... and there are so many of them!
clairvoyant in this regard means "seeing things for what they really are" so in a sense hes breaking down the situation and trying to lay it out in front of her and say "this is what it is"
This is why I fucking love music so be everything else. When you find yourself wandering aimlessly through memories and missed chances. Those decisions you were afraid to make so life just passed you by. All it takes is one song that is written with that same amount of intuition and it snaps you back into reality. Life sucks but the joy that comes after picking yourself back up, that fucking connection is what drives us all. You keep going even if your broken and bleeding. Looking back only slows you down.
the way i interpret this: in a relationship, you know you have problems, but you love the person so much to the point that you don't confront those problems because it'll hurt your relationship even if they need to be brought up.
livfree studios its about a break up, they try to make it work but no matter how hard they try things arent the same anymore. They understand that they cant work even tho they love each other, and they don't want to make each other the bad guy when they used to love each other so intensely.
Life is going to suck a lot. People will hurt you. People will leave you. People will forget you. My life still sucks. One thing I hate is when people say "There are starving kids in Africa, Don't complain". To them, that might be the most painful thing they have experienced in their lives. But for me, being hurt constantly by people I trust and being pushed away as if you are just a paper wrapper from a straw. That’s the most painful thing I felt because no matter how much I try, I'm never enough. Great song by the way.
my dad would always listen to this while driving when i was really young (5-7 years old) so i always sort of knew about this song, but forgot about it for years. i recently remembered it completely out of the blue and searched the lyrics i could remember for half an hour until i found it. i never realized how sad it was and how much it hits home now that i’m older. it gave me a bittersweet, nostalgic feeling because this was a really memorable song from my childhood. i really wish i could go back and appreciate those times more. this song played a really big part in my life and i’m so glad i found it again.
This song is dedicated to my good friend Alberto who died in a car accident yesterday morning. He was only 18 years old and I just graduated last month with him. He was so full of life and had a bright future ahead of him. I love you dude, I'll see you when it is time.
“The way you left me its alright” I've never found a person's condition to be so sincere for letting someone go. “Dont paint me black when i used to be golden” Nailed it…
this is one of those songs that you can put on repeat and fall asleep to after you've been crying for a while, just soothing and so so pure... THIS is good music
I had this girl, and I fucked things up, real bad. And I've hated myself for it since then, and this band has gotten me through so much and I love them to death. They make me feel like myself again, and I've been fucking sad for a long ass time. It's never a wrong time to listen to them. I love you guys. Thank you
Me too man… I fucked up so bad. I know to be a better person I have to love myself and get past what I’ve done but I honestly don’t know if I could ever forgive myself.
Ex girlfriend introduced me to this song and this band when we were together. We broke up Monday night, whenever I listen to this song I either remember the times we had together or I get emotional because I miss her so much. I love this song for the wrong and right reasons.
Same situation, my gf of a year broke up with me and introduced me to TSSF ever since then I can relate to all of their songs. Fucks me up listening to them bc of her but I still do
Relationships that have ended don't always have to be painful. Let it be a learning lesson to apply towards your next relationship. It will get a little easier, eventually.
My ex introduced me to a lot of this pop punk music when we were 18. Every time I listen to this music, it makes me feel close to him. He’s gone now. Committed suicide December 15th 2019
This song really hits home for me. Years ago I was in a very emotionally invested relationship and at first it was beautiful, but over time she had become discontent with who I was as a person until eventually she decided to part ways. Over all these years I couldn't help but feel like it was my fault and I felt like a terrible person all the time. But I realize now that there was really nothing I could have done, she was reflecting the discontent she felt inside and i pointlessly faulted myself for it..."Don't paint me black when I use to be golden."
Happened to me last year. Sounds like a very similiar situation, i felt that i couldn't have made her happy if i tried my hardest. But that doesn't take away from the fact that i really wanted to do that for her. We parted ways, haven't spoken... her father died... i tried to lend my condolences and got no replies.
I think you'll notice when things become different The good vibes in our lives won't feel so consistent And less becomes more cause the weight is too heavy I swim in the water that's breaking your levee The way that you left me is alright, its alright If I argue the point than we yell and we fight And I won't be home for the rest of the night You might hate my words but you know that I'm right You know that I'm right This is your life there's no way to run from it The doubt in your brain or the pain in your stomach I only have but one complaint at the moment Don't paint me black when I used to be golden The way that you left me is alright, its alright If I argue the point than we yell and we fight And I won't be home for the rest of the night You might hate my words but you know that I'm right You know that I'm right Don't paint me black when I used to be golden
my girlfriend of over two years recently decided one morning that she no longer loved me and left my life with no closure or remorse. it has now been two weeks since she left and i still miss her but thats just life. you have to see the positive in the negatives and grow from it. this song has helped me stay constant in my efforts to stay happy.
I love music, It's simple as that. Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning in my loneliness... But I've been keeping myself busy. And every once in a while , when I feel like there's no more hope left for my poor soul... I take a deep breath and search for something new. That could give me strength; To just keep going. It's like fishing fundamentally. Sometimes you catch a nice one, that can feed you for a while, but sometimes you got yourself the big one. And you hit the rewind button again and again; Full of joy, regardless the fact that's a sad song. You feel something and that means the world for me. So thank you for sharing the video.
I remember playing this live my freshman year with a very good friend of mine in the school library. He introduced me to so much, and I will forever appreciate our experiences together. I miss you Isaac.
This song means the world to me. I got the art from this album cover on my arm. I messed up, and ruined the best relationship I had ever had. I've learned my lesson and I've grown as a person quite a bit. She wouldn't recognize me anymore, and I'm very proud of that. I hope every day that she thinks about the golden, but I know she thinks about the black. Probably just as often, if not more, if she even thinks about me at all. She probably doesn't. And I can't blame her. I'm with somebody else now, learning to love again. I don't know where this will go, but I'm going to make sure I'm golden this time.
The one thing that amazes me about music, is no matter how varied in genre or 'Story' of the song, people just connect. Language barriers cannot keep people from sharing the emotions or even the meaning of them, wish songs were the answer to humanity's problems rather than violence. At the same time so many interpretations can be taken, because of our own unique view on the world. With this song, one moment i hear a lover lamenting that his relationship is falling apart. The next, i hear a heartfelt plea of a relationship that has ended but he feels that they had weaponized it against each other. This is what i call real music, something where you can take different stories and meanings from behind the same words. That's my thoughts at least. Anyway, personally i find life hard. It tires me out, i live a life of constant let downs and mental struggles. people don't give a crap about me, they only care out of pity. Attempted suicide so many times, never received help for it either. People's idea of help is Small 'Suggestions' of how to make it suck slightly less. I don't want it to suck 'Slightly less' I want it (the pain) to end. Sadly this world cares less about individuals, and more about money; people are out only for themselves. The one thing that helps, music, it is my therapy. Doesn't work all the time, can't always rely on it. But it's made a bigger impact than 'CBT' or any form of medication has. If music could, i would happily use it to cure the world. So many people struggle with mental health issues, it hurts knowing no-one is looking out for them. Hell, I'd give my life for them; Stranger or no. That's how much it hurts. This song has come full circle for me, got me into punk music, and again has brought me back to emotions i lost a while ago. Music is........ medicine.
Still my favorite song by them. Theres always the lyrics that stand out to me most "This is your life theres no way to run from it the doubt in your brain or the pain in your stomach, I only have but one complaint at the moment- don't paint me black when I used to be golden"
I ended up getting hurt by the very person who introduced me to the group. It's crazy to think that two people who were already hurt to begin with ended up hurting each other in the end.
so u were hurt when u met him? if u were hurt when u met him and hurt when he left u what exactly did u accomplish? ahh I c..temporary happiness bewtween, that sucks im sorry...hell ima ghost so don't feel bad u can c right through my old ass!! XD cheer up. pursuit of happiness
i've listen to this song at least 1000 times, no joke. it was the only song i had in my phone for months. i used to listen to this when i was 15, 4 years passed and here i am crying again- somethings never change.
This song literally stabs me in the chest and breaks my heart when I listen to it. I heard it pop up on my mix when I was in the car with some heavy feelings and it felt as much then. I cant bring myself to listen to any other music by these guys because Im afraid it might be too fucking much. this song is a pure tone. Work your shit out, love trumps everything and when both people bring love to the table, there isnt much room for anything else. If anyone feels like me, then just have hope, the same person who made me feel this way is the person who makes me walk on air. she brings out my best and my worst, and that is the whole truth of me. I needed to understand that and communicate to her, but little did I know she felt the same. God bless you.
its funny that if you go on a mainstream pop artists youtube you'll have more negative comments than positive but on here you have all good comments, its because this is real music.
“Don’t paint me black when I used to be golden” will speak volumes to me till death. Never will feel so much from those simple lines then any work of words.
Don’t paint me black when I used to be Golden always gets me. The fact that someone used to hold you to such a high pedestal and high regard and then after the relationship ends, sometimes, they usually never want anything to do with you again and paint you in a bad light to themselves and to others. It hurts.
I always seem to find my way back to the roots of my youth, whether it be this beautiful song or bands like Brand New and Senses Fail. Man i fucking LOVE music! Always seems to give everyone a reason or purpose to keep pushing on! It's such an amazing thing. Love you all!!!
My ex showed me this song when we first started dating back in high school I remember she used to have some of the lyrics painted on the wall and I’ll be honest I’m not too fond of pop punk I actually hate it but every time I listen to this song I can feel my eyes water and I get a rush of memories in my head like our first date and our first kiss or the first time we confessed our love towards each other or those cold winter days we’d spend in her living room cuddled up and watching Netflix shows and movies or when she took me ice skating for the first time man my heart feels heavy listening to this Eufemia I miss you!! And as much as I’d hate to admit it I still love you!!
RIP To my beautiful girlfriend 😭❤️🙏🏻 You saved me so many times from ending it all, I don't understand why you had to go this way, it was too early, you were only 14. You are still alive in our hearts. Rock on in heaven babe ❤️🤘🏻 David misses you, and so does Ellie, and everyone else.
I dread listening to this song and cry everytime it comes on, I've done alot of stuff I'm not proud of and alot stuff has stuff has happened to me. But all I could was learn from what I did and what happened to me, dont let love get in the way of how u feel, it'll slowly eat you mentally and just mess you up
I remember listening to this song on the local radio when I was 10. Such a bittersweet melody to reminisce on. Making me remember all the ups and down I experienced back then. Very nostalgic. :)
I used to listen to this song everyday at one point. I hated my life as it was falling apart; I was going through a divorce at the time. Tbh this band inspired me to persevere and make music again. Here I am years later, wrote my new album recently. I found true love. Sometimes you need a little song to turn yourself around. Sometimes you need something to sing along to and make everything better. Thanks for this ! It really means a lot. Fan for life 🤘🏽✌🏽
This is such a peaceful and ambient song, I always listen to this when I'm feeling low or really calm. The lyrics as well are very euphoric, especially the lines "Dont paint me black when I use to be golden"
Amandyta Erhan Check out Top Shelf Records, you might find some music to your liking there as well. I don't think Top Shelf has ever signed on a band I didn't like, but that's just me. Have Mercy was originally on their label.
Feels are overflowing. this song is amazing, and true, sad songs bring back the best of memories. heh Everybody needs time to heal, especially when loved ones disappear from our lives in a blink without any real explanation. I've been with my ex for almost 3 years, and then she left me with an excuse that me and her became different, when none of that even happened,we always had the same interests and we were happy. Haven't contacted her for around 2 months tho. I don't know if she even thinks or misses me. The thing is, we can't be mad about this, we aren't mad at them, we are just mad at the actions that they've taken. She was such a sweetheart,and when stuff seemed bad, she was still perfect for me, and I didn't care how mad she was. but I guess almost 3 years is enough for a person to change their views and character. I still love her tho, I always will. At least I can love her on my own, but I wish we got back together. Life sucks, but don't forget to smile. I've been alone almost all my life, and becoming alone again after I got dump ed, well, it was unexpected. I've always tried to make other people happy, especially her, I didn't care a lot how I felt, as long as the person I love is happy. She was my savior. If you love them still, love them on your own, quietly. and smile everyday.
i doubt you're still torn up about the breakup. if you are, just know literally everyone else including myself came to this song upset over a breakup. you aren't alone.
this means a lot to me even as an 18 year old that missed out on the glory years of this genre. life can be new at any time, and I already wasted so much time and had my glory days. now I'm here doing my best. and songs like this provide some clarity and relief; both that someone else has felt like me, and conquered it. such a wonderful song, and such a great band. even for newbies just getting started on this life thing.
So, I'm back listening to this again. I can't stop myself.
Come back
Are you still here ? 🥺
same
so are we :)
We’re all still here bro

Aww thank you kindly guys and gals. I know he wouldn't want me to be sad all the time, so I'm trying my best to stay strong! He lives on through all the lives he has touched... and there are so many of them!

Yup
This song is about forgiveness, but you’re right! This song can have millions of different meanings if you share it enough with people!
"the good vibes in our lives won't feel so consistent. "
those lyrics hit me hard asf

manny zapien i agree, one person's problem is just as important as the next person's problems no matter what it is huh
manny zapien Very deep I like it :)
By the way I just covered Nerve from TSSF's latest album over on my channel, would love any feedback :)
Thanks! And don't worry I'll be sure to give it a listen and drop something in the comments for you!
Keep your head up. You write beautifully.
This song will never be overplayed. It's so beautiful.
I wish they'd try to overplay it, tbf..

Damn how old are you? I’m only 22 but now I feel 35
I'm 25 and you made me feel very old
This song is an absolute masterpiece. It came out when I was quite a bit older than that though lol. I'm old😅
I like your mojo

me too
Me too man… I fucked up so bad. I know to be a better person I have to love myself and get past what I’ve done but I honestly don’t know if I could ever forgive myself.
My exact situation. I had a good girl and I ruined it because I took her for granted.
Agree 100% ❤
My girlfriend and I danced our first slow dance to this song last Saturday. I think I love her. Many thanks to the story so far and pure noise
hope you're still together :)
Seconded. Hope y’all are still together
U think u love ur girlfriend?
Well ? Are ya still together? Tell us

Oscar Crowe bro I can totally relate man
My ex introduced me to a lot of this pop punk music when we were 18. Every time I listen to this music, it makes me feel close to him. He’s gone now. Committed suicide December 15th 2019
What if all the pop punk bands are writing about the same girl
They probably are. Which is why they're all "sick of this town". LOL.
on one of these story so far videos someone blasted the girl parker writes about all over and all of her social media
Azarel Doroteo lol
I smell a fanfic
She's a bitch.
this song is like hot chocolate for the ears
asra Bless this comment.
asra This is the best way to describe this song
Honestly yes, this song is like winter and that's the perfect description.
Yes true
+asra Yeah. Really depressing hot chocolate.
He is actually singing instead of yelling in pitch, such a nice voice
This song really hits home for me. Years ago I was in a very emotionally invested relationship and at first it was beautiful, but over time she had become discontent with who I was as a person until eventually she decided to part ways. Over all these years I couldn't help but feel like it was my fault and I felt like a terrible person all the time. But I realize now that there was really nothing I could have done, she was reflecting the discontent she felt inside and i pointlessly faulted myself for it..."Don't paint me black when I use to be golden."

I think you'll notice when things become different
The good vibes in our lives won't feel so consistent
And less becomes more cause the weight is too heavy
I swim in the water that's breaking your levee
The way that you left me is alright, its alright
If I argue the point than we yell and we fight
And I won't be home for the rest of the night
You might hate my words but you know that I'm right
You know that I'm right
This is your life there's no way to run from it
The doubt in your brain or the pain in your stomach
I only have but one complaint at the moment
Don't paint me black when I used to be golden
The way that you left me is alright, its alright
If I argue the point than we yell and we fight
And I won't be home for the rest of the night
You might hate my words but you know that I'm right
You know that I'm right
Don't paint me black when I used to be golden
Nice
Nice
Rice..I mean nice.
Thx
my girlfriend of over two years recently decided one morning that she no longer loved me and left my life with no closure or remorse. it has now been two weeks since she left and i still miss her but thats just life. you have to see the positive in the negatives and grow from it. this song has helped me stay constant in my efforts to stay happy.
cried to this song too many times over the years. Still coming back to it but it's happy tears nowadays. such a beautiful song.
Entered to listen to good music, left emotionally broken *just pop punk things*
i just wondering how many mentions of a certain owl girl will take for the band to ask "whats going on?"
maybe a shoutout on twitter?
I listened to this band because of that certain owl girl. Guess I did not regret listening to this. 😆
ive been putting off giving this song a listen and im so glad im doing it now. on loop forever
Somehow I always come back here
This song and it’s lyrics carry heavy and emotional memories... I can’t believe how long it’s been.
this song gives me chills
Madison Haley you give me chills bby
***** damn you must slay brew

I love music, It's simple as that. Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning in my loneliness... But I've been keeping myself busy. And every once in a while , when I feel like there's no more hope left for my poor soul... I take a deep breath and search for something new. That could give me strength; To just keep going. It's like fishing fundamentally. Sometimes you catch a nice one, that can feed you for a while, but sometimes you got yourself the big one. And you hit the rewind button again and again; Full of joy, regardless the fact that's a sad song. You feel something and that means the world for me. So thank you for sharing the video.
Jeydon Wale brought me here and I'm so glad he did
AverySmitty sameee
how did he do that?
same :)
+Lucy Kitley its his all time favorite band
SAME HERE! I wanna hear him do a cover to this song so badly!
I remember playing this live my freshman year with a very good friend of mine in the school library. He introduced me to so much, and I will forever appreciate our experiences together. I miss you Isaac.
Listen to this song. lay on the floor. try really hard not to cry. fail. cry a lot.
I've been obsessing over this song lately.
sammmmeeeee
Lol
I Know Me Too!
when you get the feeling to listen to this song it's months at a time.
Its addicting as chocolate
This song means the world to me. I got the art from this album cover on my arm. I messed up, and ruined the best relationship I had ever had. I've learned my lesson and I've grown as a person quite a bit. She wouldn't recognize me anymore, and I'm very proud of that. I hope every day that she thinks about the golden, but I know she thinks about the black. Probably just as often, if not more, if she even thinks about me at all. She probably doesn't. And I can't blame her.
I'm with somebody else now, learning to love again. I don't know where this will go, but I'm going to make sure I'm golden this time.
The one thing that amazes me about music, is no matter how varied in genre or 'Story' of the song, people just connect. Language barriers cannot keep people from sharing the emotions or even the meaning of them, wish songs were the answer to humanity's problems rather than violence.
At the same time so many interpretations can be taken, because of our own unique view on the world. With this song, one moment i hear a lover lamenting that his relationship is falling apart. The next, i hear a heartfelt plea of a relationship that has ended but he feels that they had weaponized it against each other. This is what i call real music, something where you can take different stories and meanings from behind the same words.
That's my thoughts at least.
Anyway, personally i find life hard. It tires me out, i live a life of constant let downs and mental struggles. people don't give a crap about me, they only care out of pity. Attempted suicide so many times, never received help for it either. People's idea of help is Small 'Suggestions' of how to make it suck slightly less. I don't want it to suck 'Slightly less' I want it (the pain) to end. Sadly this world cares less about individuals, and more about money; people are out only for themselves.
The one thing that helps, music, it is my therapy. Doesn't work all the time, can't always rely on it. But it's made a bigger impact than 'CBT' or any form of medication has. If music could, i would happily use it to cure the world. So many people struggle with mental health issues, it hurts knowing no-one is looking out for them.
Hell, I'd give my life for them; Stranger or no. That's how much it hurts.
This song has come full circle for me, got me into punk music, and again has brought me back to emotions i lost a while ago.
Music is........ medicine.
Cheer up... everything is going to be ok.
Hoping all is well.
I listened to this song when I was going through a hard time, I love this band and this song.
I can't stop listening too this song.
omf yes
wish I could...this song is haunting me right now :\
dannii yes, the last part no. cx
***** Smooth.

This song literally breaks my heart each time I listen to it, I even tear up at the ending cord...
5 years later and I'm still obsessed with this song
Still my favorite song by them. Theres always the lyrics that stand out to me most "This is your life theres no way to run from it the doubt in your brain or the pain in your stomach, I only have but one complaint at the moment- don't paint me black when I used to be golden"
I ended up getting hurt by the very person who introduced me to the group. It's crazy to think that two people who were already hurt to begin with ended up hurting each other in the end.
hurt people hurt people. the best thing to do is to find someone who balances you
Roma Breezus What is awesome is that I already have.. :)
I'm happy for you then :) keep livin' like larry ;) [I miss SpongeBob]
so u were hurt when u met him? if u were hurt when u met him and hurt when he left u what exactly did u accomplish? ahh I c..temporary happiness bewtween, that sucks im sorry...hell ima ghost so don't feel bad u can c right through my old ass!! XD cheer up. pursuit of happiness
DevelopmentsCA oh c happy already 4 days later...
i've listen to this song at least 1000 times, no joke. it was the only song i had in my phone for months. i used to listen to this when i was 15, 4 years passed and here i am crying again- somethings never change.
I don't care if this song always makes me cry I still love it
I could listen to the last 30 seconds of this song over and over again. I will never forget my golden age. Neither should you
why do we fall in love with ppl we can’t have :(
Same.
If we knew, we wouldn't do it
Bubblegum Bear damn.. that hits hard
IKKDKKDKDK
I feel you...
This song literally stabs me in the chest and breaks my heart when I listen to it. I heard it pop up on my mix when I was in the car with some heavy feelings and it felt as much then. I cant bring myself to listen to any other music by these guys because Im afraid it might be too fucking much. this song is a pure tone. Work your shit out, love trumps everything and when both people bring love to the table, there isnt much room for anything else. If anyone feels like me, then just have hope, the same person who made me feel this way is the person who makes me walk on air. she brings out my best and my worst, and that is the whole truth of me. I needed to understand that and communicate to her, but little did I know she felt the same. God bless you.
who hurt you parker
still the best comment to date.
Heaven, right?
the real question is who didn't?
everyone
its funny that if you go on a mainstream pop artists youtube you'll have more negative comments than positive but on here you have all good comments, its because this is real music.
Yea but pop artist have mostly positive lyrics. And aperintly all people want to hear is the same old depressing stuff like this.
positive lyrics? twerking, sex and drugs is not positive; its boring and repetitive.
That's rap not pop
Freefyle Records Miley Cyrus doesn't rap.
Twerking has been around way longer than miley had.
“Don’t paint me black when I used to be golden” will speak volumes to me till death. Never will feel so much from those simple lines then any work of words.
I feel that to the core. When being someone’s hero turns in to being their villain.
It just hits right in the feels, regardless of time that has passed.
I remember I discovered this song on UA-cam in October of 2013 the year it was uploaded. And it still gives me chills
this song is too amazingly perfect for words
Don’t paint me black when I used to be Golden always gets me. The fact that someone used to hold you to such a high pedestal and high regard and then after the relationship ends, sometimes, they usually never want anything to do with you again and paint you in a bad light to themselves and to others. It hurts.
Who needs to be happy when you have this song
I always seem to find my way back to the roots of my youth, whether it be this beautiful song or bands like Brand New and Senses Fail. Man i fucking LOVE music! Always seems to give everyone a reason or purpose to keep pushing on! It's such an amazing thing. Love you all!!!
WHY HAVE I NEVER LISTENED TO THE STORY SO FAR BEFORE THIS SONG IS PURE GOLD.
It's just painted black.
Ayyy lmao
Kolton Hastert noice
My ex showed me this song when we first started dating back in high school I remember she used to have some of the lyrics painted on the wall and I’ll be honest I’m not too fond of pop punk I actually hate it but every time I listen to this song I can feel my eyes water and I get a rush of memories in my head like our first date and our first kiss or the first time we confessed our love towards each other or those cold winter days we’d spend in her living room cuddled up and watching Netflix shows and movies or when she took me ice skating for the first time man my heart feels heavy listening to this Eufemia I miss you!! And as much as I’d hate to admit it I still love you!!
RIP To my beautiful girlfriend 😭❤️🙏🏻 You saved me so many times from ending it all, I don't understand why you had to go this way, it was too early, you were only 14. You are still alive in our hearts. Rock on in heaven babe ❤️🤘🏻 David misses you, and so does Ellie, and everyone else.
Oh, I'm so sorry about your loss... Want to share a few more words?
LionALPHA She was the greatest girlfriend ever. And then she was gone.
Someone made me hear it, as a way of goodbye along with glimpse of memories we shared. It became my fav song, ever since.
Coming across a song that you loved 4 years ago is like taking an emotional time machine back in time.
First heard this on my 23rd birthday. It's now my 33rd birthday. I'll be back again at 43.
I dread listening to this song and cry everytime it comes on, I've done alot of stuff I'm not proud of and alot stuff has stuff has happened to me. But all I could was learn from what I did and what happened to me, dont let love get in the way of how u feel, it'll slowly eat you mentally and just mess you up
I remember listening to this song on the local radio when I was 10. Such a bittersweet melody to reminisce on. Making me remember all the ups and down I experienced back then. Very nostalgic. :)
"Don't paint me black when I used to be golden."
FELT THAT
I used to listen to this song everyday at one point. I hated my life as it was falling apart; I was going through a divorce at the time. Tbh this band inspired me to persevere and make music again. Here I am years later, wrote my new album recently. I found true love. Sometimes you need a little song to turn yourself around. Sometimes you need something to sing along to and make everything better. Thanks for this ! It really means a lot. Fan for life 🤘🏽✌🏽
Such an awesome song. Parker has an amazing voice. You can really hear it on this one
There's so much sad comments on here and I hope you all find peace one day . I love all you beans 💕
...I will never tire of this track
farking frak
THEN KEEP IT INFLATED
SO warm
This song is just one of my favorites, his voice, the soft guitar, it's just perfect. "Don't paint me black, when I used to be golden." ♥♥♥
New Fav Song
Honestly love music like this.
I don't know if I accidentally clicked on this video when I put my phone down but my ears don't regret a thing :) what a lovely melody.
This is such a peaceful and ambient song, I always listen to this when I'm feeling low or really calm. The lyrics as well are very euphoric, especially the lines "Dont paint me black when I use to be golden"
This song hits home every time.
"don't paint me black when I use to be golden"
turtlesinabox right! this song just hits me right in the feels.
Seriously how can someone dislike this song?? I literally just found them and theyre amazing, definitely gonna start listening to them.
TY mumei😀
I miss her so much..... this song always makes me think about everything :/
I have a "Don't paint me black when I use to be golden" tattoo
Carter Riggs me too !
is it black?
Gabriel Constantinides yes ! Very ironic I know
@@scottveg802 ;P sorry if you get that alot hahaha
@@scottveg802 my sister and I have "don't paint me black when I used to be golden tattoos on our arm.
Man.. I can't believe this song Is 10 years Old Today
ahhh good taste mumei
"don't paint me black when I used to be golden" that is seriously the best
It's amazing how these few lyrics say so much
PureNoiseRecords is the most amazing record studio i ever heard about. I love many artists whose music they produce.
Record label* :) and yes that's probably why they are called "Pure" noise lol
chrisattigliato1 I C you.
Amandyta Erhan Check out Top Shelf Records, you might find some music to your liking there as well. I don't think Top Shelf has ever signed on a band I didn't like, but that's just me. Have Mercy was originally on their label.
Hate to seem rude, but as mentioned they are a record label and as such they work to distribute and market an artist's work, not produce it.
english is not my first language i dont know what means what. sorry
I cant believe it's been 7 years since this masterpiece came out
10 now
Crying is normal upon listening to this song
I cant get over how amazing this song is.
This band gives me such feels. Listening to their songs acoustically makes me cry.
This song puts me in tears
"Dont paint me black when I used to be golden"
Hits different when you're ex has BPD
dude no way! dealing with that EXACT situation right now :O
@@AdamBarkerThe it's an epidemic.
Is she diagnosed or just edgy lmfao
@@ronni.b99 diagnosed
@@uns33ndoes that mean she doesn’t look at you the same or what
Feels are overflowing.
this song is amazing, and true, sad songs bring back the best of memories.
heh
Everybody needs time to heal, especially when loved ones disappear from our lives in a blink without any real explanation. I've been with my ex for almost 3 years, and then she left me with an excuse that me and her became different, when none of that even happened,we always had the same interests and we were happy. Haven't contacted her for around 2 months tho. I don't know if she even thinks or misses me. The thing is, we can't be mad about this, we aren't mad at them, we are just mad at the actions that they've taken. She was such a sweetheart,and when stuff seemed bad, she was still perfect for me, and I didn't care how mad she was. but I guess almost 3 years is enough for a person to change their views and character. I still love her tho, I always will. At least I can love her on my own, but I wish we got back together. Life sucks, but don't forget to smile.
I've been alone almost all my life, and becoming alone again after I got dump ed, well, it was unexpected. I've always tried to make other people happy, especially her, I didn't care a lot how I felt, as long as the person I love is happy. She was my savior.
If you love them still, love them on your own, quietly. and smile everyday.
I understand you
i doubt you're still torn up about the breakup. if you are, just know literally everyone else including myself came to this song upset over a breakup. you aren't alone.
LolfyCatbug this was beautiful
***** Thanks c:
+RomanK So relatable
This album is the soundtrack of my life tbh.
Fancy seeing you here
Indeed.

Re visiting this song 5 years later is so emotional
this means a lot to me even as an 18 year old that missed out on the glory years of this genre. life can be new at any time, and I already wasted so much time and had my glory days. now I'm here doing my best. and songs like this provide some clarity and relief; both that someone else has felt like me, and conquered it. such a wonderful song, and such a great band. even for newbies just getting started on this life thing.
fuck. the feels its been a while since I've listened to this and yet it still makes me miss her
