You can be 17 at any age, why do you have to be a certain age to start living your life? You don't, so live your life to the fullest. Have fun as if you were still 17.
me: < transage tumblr warflashbacks> but tbh, i agree, this summer im turnin 20, last month i took the last of my senior exams. previously i was so caught up in all the stress and anxiety of high school that after i came home from the exam i just had this huge wave of relief and revalation wash over me. the realization that i did it, i have my whole life ahead of me, if i don't get into a uni i can start my working life, maybe work with my dad, or do something im passionate about. for the firdt time in like 5 years i sat down to paint as a breather(break). in the past 5 years i only sat down to paint 5 times max and the time i can recall was for my friends bday. i painted on a huge wood board for him. he loved it. i was very proud of it. it was one of the bests ive ever did. then after his party we carried the painting around the city with us in the bag with booze and other gifts. We were really out of it and broke a bottle of wine because we put the bags down to fast. :D it was awesome.
I'm 17. There is the "full life"? I'm scared and depressed only Stop romanticizing this age, I cannot live in peace knowing that my life is not like that fairy tale from the stories of everyone I meet Stop romanticizing any age. Even childhood can be horrible
@@дпагсн for what it’s worth, at 27 yrs old I’m just now really starting to understand & appreciate who I really am. Still don’t know what I wanna ‘do with my life,’ but I definitely realize how I wanna live it.
everyone talking about turning 17... please appreciate and have loads of memories.. my life at 17 wasn't any better than it is now, and im deeply saddened that I never got to have an actual teenage life.
the most i’ve done since my birthday is make bad decisions but i got to be in a huge ass parade in a different country so woo that’s something i’ve done besides smoke and drink and fuck up my relationships with my very few friends
There is something so magical about being 17. It's really your last year of childhood, once you turn 18 you have to deal with growing up and going to college, worrying about your future and money.... Enjoy 17 while you can, you may not even understand how important it is until you've already lived past it.
I'll be 18 in a couple months I'm gonna do that too, I'm so scared to grow up but that's just life, it'd be pretty boring if we could live forever. Still terrifies me though
I first heard this song when I was 17, I am 23 now. I keep coming back to this video every year. So much life has happened since 17 but I still have that same ache inside me.
i'm turning 17 tomorrow. i never liked my birthdays. 16 was the best age of my life. a lot of good and bad things happened, but i think everything gave me the greatest experience. for me, 16 is age when you're not a child or an adult. you're somewhere in the middle and you can be either. both bad and good days had something that made me feel fine, like everything's alright, or i can get through everything, i'm strong. that's the point of life.every days can't be good. all of them will have at least a little bit darkness in it, nothing's perfect, but "even the worst things have things to love in them". i hope 17 will be full of pain, tears, news, smile, love, hug, kiss, inspiration, music... but, the most important thing i want is being strong and feel like i'm standing on the top of the world with wild winds blowing in my head, reminding me I'm so lucky that I'M ALIVE. CAUSE LIFE REALLY IS BEAUTIFUL, GUYS. KEEP SMILING. YOU'RE LUCKY. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ON THINKING OF DEATH. THESE ARE YEARS THAT WILL NEVER COME BACK. SO GO AHEAD AND USE ALL YOUR CHANCES, DO CRAZY AND UNEXPECTED THINGS. AND HAPPINESS WILL COME BY ITSELF. I'M HAPPY I REALIZED THAT. LOVE YOU. and happy birthday to me
hi. i’m turning 18 tomorrow. i just wanted to say that 17 was the best age of my life. “yet” - perhaps i’m optimistic enough to say that. i too often have depression, i admit. i hate being alive sometimes. i really need to just leave everything behind sometimes. BUT I’M HERE. because maybe i like dramatizing things but i believe we are not born for no reason. and i don’t wanna waste my life. i was trying to keep that in my mind during my bad days. i’ll try to do the same this year. please, remember. Life really is beautiful. this years will never come back. we have one and only life. don’t waste it. help yourself. help others. let others help you. i’ll try to do the same. thanks a lot. love you⭐️
It's midnight and today i am turning 17. And i cant help but feel like i am wasting what are said to be the best years of my life. I always feel like i could and should be living much more meaningful life and experience many more things. I try my best to be faithful to what i aspire to be and work on my best self. One day i feel like i could do anything i set my mind to, other times i just want the time to pass by. Although i know damn well every moment could mean something more. I also do realise that life is not forever. Tomorrow is uncertain. I want to live my life as if i had just today, but i also feel pressure about the future. For my birthday, i wish for more memories with my loved ones, less fake people around me and more genuine happines.
You can't waste being 17. It's a number. Do your best and remember to have fun; life is not about work or expectations. I'm 19 now, but I remember being 17. I had fun. There were times of shyness and difficulty, but I had friends, music, books, travelling. Extraordinary is not a standard. Your 17 can and should be extraordinary; so should your 18. Stop expecting stuff to happen. Just do what you feel like.
Roaming the campground up by the lake where we swam We were hunting for snakes But we couldn't find them Surrounded by nothing But the nothing's surrounded by us But it's just me in my room With my eyes shut Oh, when I was seventeen My mother said to me "Don't stop imagining. The day that you do is the day that you die" Now I pull a one-ton carriage Instead of the horses, grazing along I was having fun We were all having fun My brain can think faster than I can But not fast enough Who is there to talk to That won't lock me up? At least God doesn't judge me by the thoughts that aren't mine The snakes I couldn't find I don't want to find Oh, when I was seventeen My mother said to me "Don't stop imagining. The day that you do is the day that you die" Now I pull a one-ton carriage Instead of the horses, grazing along I was having fun We were all having fun When I was seventeen My mother said to me "Don't stop imagining. The day that you do is the day that you die" Now I pull a one-ton carriage Instead of the horses, grazing along I was having fun We were all having fun
Look 17 isnt some glorified time in your life it was beautiful and tragic in its own way dont feel saddened that you didnt experience the teenage everyone else seemed to have because in all actuality we all have different experiences and we are not the same people from that time. I never got the typical teenage experience because there is no typical teenage experience we are all just here
sweetbabylizard Exactly, some people spent their teenage years going out until the sun rises, having fun, partying, others spent them listening to music alone and others just watched it go by, we’re all different.
@@itsalwaysme But how many of the one's who went out having fun wish they spent that time alone? Sure we're all different but there are things one can feel and do at 15-19 that can't be experienced at any other time in the vast majority of people's lives. The tragedy is real and just saying that different people have different experiences can't make it better. I'm not talking about the adolescence everyone else seemed to have, I'm talking about the adolescence that _you almost had_ but it slipped through your fingers
I just turned 17 (on March 3rd) and gosh I feel like I’m ruining my life so much, I stay home all the time, I only have 2 irl friends that I absolutely never see, I’m skipping school all the time bc I’m too anxious to go and I don’t even go see my family. I feel like I can’t fix the mess I’ve made, I feel stuck in a loop and I don’t know how to actually get better and fix everything that I did. This kind of songs make me feel good but so bad and sad at the same time
I know this too well.. I havent gone to school for about a year either because i was so ashamed of how i looked and i was really anxious too(and had/ have depression). i felt like (still kinda feel like ) i waisted precious time that i could've used to find out for example what kind of things i like and collect a lot of experiences . And most importantly find out who i am, but i didnt. Times like this will pass. Youre not alone ,youll get through it ♡
I’m exactly the same and I hate it but I love it. It’s a weird situation that I want to get out of but it’s like I’ve been like this for so long I don’t even know how to change it.
maybe for you its the worst, I'm building my career and love doing it. i cant wait to work in a job i love its better than school i hated..... try be positive brother, keep ya head up
Used to bike around my neighborhood with this in the background as a kid, one day after losing my phone I had to make a new YT account, losing the song. Finally after 7 years I rediscovered it, I want to cry.
no im sorry thats not true XD 17 was a ground breakingly spectacular year for me, but 14, 15, 16 was absalute trash, I truely didnt think I could go on like that anymore, So I decided I would either dedicate myself to spirituality (Zen Bhuddism in my case) or end it all Needless to say iv never experienced that kindof struggle again, but I know there are many many people for who are struggling at 17 and they needent be comparing with others better experiences
17,such a sad age .. To have friends,a hobby,a boy/girl-friend,chances to feel really free and make dreams when circumstances don't give you no opportunity Why sould be all too difficult?
Cyborg is actually a time machine ..taking u back in time, when u were in love, happy, naive, and everything nostalgic 😭 I just wana say I really love all your uploads and its the only thing i look upto when am lonely and sad
When I was 17 there was absolutely no hope for my future... it's crazy how things have started to work out the harder I pushed and just kept trying to get better. The endless abyss started to fade and I suddenly didn't feel so trapped. it gets better if you just keep going
I feel like I've always wanted to live out in the wilds and do what I want, just me and the world...I think this is freedom. Also this reminds me of my childhood when I still lived just day to day with nothing to worry about.
i’m 17 listening to this and it’s bittersweet; this year has been very lonely but i feel like i’ve finally come into my own. i feel like a completely different person to who i was at 16 in the best way possible. it was a really, really intense and traumatising age and i’ve spent most of this year trying to heal from it. my healing is not linear, but i’m at a place where i want to get better and live my life. last year i just wanted to be gone. i don’t really have many friends, i spend most of my time alone which at times feels isolating but i’m so deep in thought all the time that even my own company exhausts me. i’ve started writing and making more art, which has strangely made me view life in a different way. i’m constantly dissecting things and trying to reinvent my vision through artistic expression. i’m learning to love being an observer and taking a back seat to really watch what’s unfolding in front of me. life is very still right now, and this stillness feels very comfortable after years of chaos and trauma. 17 has definitely not been a year of teenage wildness, but i have the rest of my life to run free. right now, this simplicity and silence is what i need, to assist me in navigating, discovering and unpealing. it’ll all be okay.
I'm listening to this crying my eyes out right now, I'll be 18 tomorrow and I'm not ready to grow up, I'm so scared but at the same time hopeful that things will get better. I feel like I lost so many years, feeling hopeless and wasting away in my room but I'm glad I have hope now. It hurts so much right now, but I know future me is laughing knowing I have no clue how good it's going to be. can't wait to come back and see this comment and feel so much happier and I can see how far I've come and how much I've grown.
I turn 25 today, looking back I had thought my life sucked. But tbh I was lucky and had a pretty good coming of age story. Point I’m trying to make is that the grass always looks greener on the other side until you look back. Then you realize your grass wasn’t that bad to begin with. But years have passed and now you’re feeling nostalgic because you wish you could go back and have been more appreciative of EVERYTHING.
I turn in 18 in 29 minutes. It's astonishing how much of a journey is still left to be discovered. I don't know how much will my life change many years from now. Thus, I am writing a letter to my future self while this song plays on repeat.
Turned 17 10 years ago. As I listen to this I can see how much my life has changed. From having fun and dancing and staying out and drinking and partying and falling in love and random kisses, to my current 9-5 legal office job where I type this at. I have no idea where most of the people I had so much fun with are right now, everyone went their different ways. Some moved far away, some passed on... I can't say I regret anything, it all happened as it should have and I am grateful for the memories. Be young when you are young, it is much easier then than when you are older.
17 doesn't have to be a whirlwind of teenage kicks. Its the age when you become you. When you break out of yourself and begin the journey of learning who you are. Its a beautiful age, but holy shit its hard. As someone turning 18 in a few days I wanna tell you to stick it out, you'll be glad you did.
i discovered this song when i was 17. Im 23 now and still listen to it frequently. Only advice i got is, everything will work out. This world is fucking scary and hard times are sometimes more frequent than you would like. But trust in yourself. Take care of yourself. Learn about yourself and what you like, who you are and try to live as you, unapologetically. Take risk, talk to that girl or boy you have a crush on, apply for that job, that college WHATEVER IT IS! If it feels like something you want. Go after it. Just be you in every shape form and fashion regardless of outward opinions. You are all you got at the end of the day.
A corporate job isn't the only answer kids, sometimes you need to take what your parents tell you with a grain of salt. I am 24, did great in college and started my first job out of school with PriceWaterhouseCoopers; I now work for a PE firm. Money is not the answer, and at a certain point in time you start thinking it is too late! I have too many flaws to count, so don't take this as a I know the answer type of comment haha..but I 100% know music is still truly the only consistent joy and therapy that has saved my life, and oh do I wish I could go back in time to pursue it at a younger age. Stay true to ya heart, and let your soul make your decisions.
I actually had to tell this to my parents. I tried by quoting another song: "And someday I hope to make it clear to you That success is not determined by leather bound books and ink on paper But rather the passion that I have found out of heartbreak and anger I know that happiness is stability, but stability is not a desk job And I refuse to sacrifice my aspirations for an income and security What the hell is "security"? See, I'd rather die at my fullest, poor, but free to roam Than let an office drain me slowly for the sake of a home 'Cause I watched your endless intermission, an actor trapped in mediocrity Gave up on your ambitions and your convictions compared to mine, what a rigid dichotomy" Movements - Nineteen Unfortunately it only worked short term and they still try to pressure me
I am 17 for almost 13 years now and I don't give a shit. Do what you want. Every age has its difficulties and to be honest: I don't want to be 17 again.
I turned 18 today and I feel crushed to say the least. My life pretty much ended on September 2010, I've had no friends since we moved out... Never went to parties, never kissed, never had sex, never got drunk, never got into a teenage relationship. Some might say that these are all unimportant stuff but they are, that's the problem. Your teenage years are meant to be used for enjoying the world, doing stupid things, building up a foundation for your life after school ends and real life begins. And I let it all go to waste. Today I looked at my chilhood photos from when I was a baby, a toddler, a child. Even though I laughed to most of the pictures I couldn't help but feel a lump in my throat after I went through all of them. Can't believe that the kid I was looking at used to be me. Why did I have to fuck everything up? Maybe in the next life I'll get it right. Until then I'll just roam around this planet and look for an exit.
Hi my beautiful friend, I just want to say I love you, I care about you, I’m thinking of you, and I believe in you. I was so very much alone for a long time too, I was and felt completely alone, lost scared, terrified, and hopeless in childhood, teenage hood, and right up until last summer, I’m 25 now. I’ve cried so many restless nights in agonizing regret that I’d lost my childhood, my adolescence, my everything, my dreams. I thought to myself “I’m a fuck up and that’s all I’ll ever be. I’ve completely lost my youth and it’s all my fault, I’m a loser and that’s all I’ll ever be.” I felt like I’m falling forward into a future that I hate and I don’t want any part of when all I want is to go back in time and start over, to be better. I never had a girlfriend in high school, or even university, and not even until 2 years after that. And even then, we were together for only a week. I still love her and am in love with her, and I so desperately want to be with her. But I don’t know that she’ll ever want to be with me again, or even see me. But I hope so. But for you my friend, I love you and I’m here for you. Sometimes a chat and a walk and a bright sunny day with a friend can start to turn things around. I know you’re 20 now and that’s amazing. So amazing! You’re still a child, still a teenager, still so young in your heart, you always will be, that never leaves or dies, please believe me. I love you, God loves you unconditionally, and I’m here for you if you want to chat. I won’t leave you if you need help, if you need a friend. Love you and God bless. You’re beautiful in every way and you’re not alone, never alone.
I'm 19 now. And when I was 17, it was one of the darkest years of my life. I'm too young to say these but, please enjoy your childhood. Enjoy it now or you might miss the youth you never experienced.
my niece was diagnosed with Sandhoff Disease and I can't help but to dwell on the fragility of life and how easy it is for people to pass on. This and all of the Year of Hibernation gives me a sense of what is important to value and memorialize. Such as our time being young and living each day to the fullest.
I’m 26 and let me the younger generation something… enjoy your last teenage years. Do what you want, cherish the things around you, hangout with your friends, make new friends, don’t do hard drugs, explore new things, don’t be afraid of the future!
I wouldn't call teenage years the 'best' by any means but there is just something so magical and ethereal about that times that you can't help but longing them sometimes
Being 17 and lonely listening to this song, almost makes me feel like I have friends. I'll just close my eyes alone in my room and never stop imagining.
I'm not 17. And I don't know if I'll make it there but it does comfort me knowing that I can step out of my life at any minute. Ps i think the song is saying to never stop imagining about things that you could do even if it hurts❤️ You are still alive and you can still live in this moment
I had my seventeen more than I deserve when everything broken into pieces. Thanks to you. Thank you for being there. I wish you're always happy in your life and your little family.
Listening to this on my 17th birthday. I hope I can really enjoy this year and live it out to the fullest and improve on myself💗 I don’t want to grow up and I know this is really my last year as a kid. Leaving my mark here ⭐️
17 right now. I’ve sat long enough in self-pity, I’m tired of the indoors. Bike rides around my new neighborhood are what puts me at ease. These new streets, looking at fallen leaves, discovering new parks and drinking tea by myself. I moved away from all my friends in the summer but sometimes being alone ain’t that bad. I’m quite alive, thank you.
it’s funny because i used to feel like i was wasting my youth away. every birthday i had was just a reminder of how nothing has changed, but now, i’m turning 18 in about a month and i feel like it’s going to be where i start everything over. this song would have made me sad to listen to if i had listened to it a little bit ago, but hearing it now makes me feel ready to let go of my teenage years in a strange way. i guess the lesson learned is that you don’t have to live your ‘best life’ during your teenage years because it’s unrealistic! you’ve got your whole life ahead of you to do the things you want to do and to be the person you want to be. i’m not wasting anymore time feeling sad about these past years.
When I was 17 I fell in love with my best friend, and recently we separated and she started dating his office colleague. Maybe I wasn’t good enough for her but I always wanted to see her happy and she is happy with him.
it's sad to see so many comments from 17 year olds talking about wasting their teenage years. mine were hell, i didn't think i'd make it through em -- by the time i turned, say, 20 or 21, things got infinitely better. everyone matures at their own pace, life is always changing. your head will begin to work someday, keep it up, folks
Roaming the campground up by the lake where we swam We were hunting for snakes But we couldn't find them Surrounded by nothing But the nothing's surrounded by us But it's just me in my room With my eyes shut Oh, when I was seventeen My mother said to me "Don't stop imagining, the day that you do is the day that you die" Now I pull a one-ton carriage Instead of the horses grazing the lawn And I was having fun We were all having fun My brain can think faster than I can I'm not fast enough Who is there to talk to That won't lock me up? At least God doesn't judge me by the thoughts that aren't mine The snakes I couldn't find I don't want to find Oh oh oh Oh when I was seventeen my mother said to me "Don't stop…
This is like rewatching a part of your life you can never get back, but you want it back so much that you can't stop playing, but no matter how much you do, you can't recapture what has gone... a moment in time gone forever.
I kinda wasted my age 17. Couldnt see what was happening around me, didnt wanna step out for anything, missed lots of things. Yea I think I fucked my age 17 up. But I still have some hope for my 20s.
Damn so strue its like i wasnt even really there at 16 its just a memory just living day by day shit sucks i remember my mom always would tell to enjoy time while im young i regret not listening to her im 18 now😭
Good-bye to the high school years, the friends I made, the ones who drifted apart, the teachers who have left positive impacts on my life, all the schoolwork, the nights crying, the teenage adolescence, naivety, and all the memories. I will miss it all. I won't ever forget you, Seb. Stay safe.
Am I the only teenager that gets nostalgic with great memories while listening? Not regrets or wishing I had better teenage years. My teenage years have been really good. My summer down by the sea with my friends, kayaking on the lake, talking about the possible future over bonfires and s’mores, dancing with them in the woods, slipping in duck poop down by the water, drinking heavily caffeinated herbal tea, driving late at night getting drinks, partying in my best friend’s basement, coffee dates with an old friend from camp in Seattle, going on trips to Disneyland with some new friends, falling in “love” with every boy that pretended he cared. And I still have a few more years like this. And I’m scared to turn 18, because then I don’t get to run away. But I’m ready to move on and remember the amazing memories that came with being 14, 15,16 and now, 17. Edit: I turn 18 in one month. And this summer has been one for the books. I don’t know if I’m ready to grow up, but I’ll take each day as it is and will be hopeful for the next :)
i was 17 last summer and listened to this song on repeat almost every day. i remember spending the whole day with my ex boyfriend at the end of July. he was my first love. it was the day we started dating and probably the most magical day of my life. we wandered around the forest, sat by the lake and watched the sunset. we ate muffins that i baked for him that morning and talked and kissed. i can't recall everything that happened exactly but i can still recall all the impressions i got from that day, you know, things like the beautiful black color of his hair in the sunshine, the itch of the mosquito bits, the smell of trees and the color of his shirt. the sound of birds and people swimming and playing volleyball by the lake. the shining on the water and the sweatiness of his palm. the moon above the lake, the phone call he got from this mom, the quiet talking, the way i was too scared to look him in the eyes, and all the love. all that honest, pure love. we were very shy with each other, especially me because i had had no experience with love before that. it was pure and it hurts to know that that kind of purity is only given once in a lifetime. when i went home that evening i started listening to this song again and now i know that in some magical way, i could put all my emotions into this melody that night. now that i'm back to this song 7 months later, it feels like i'm back to an era that's dead and i can't do anything else but sob.
i wasted all my teenage years. i never went to dances because i thought they were stupid. i still do, but i guess the experience is important. i had a group of friends that i would talk, laugh, and hang out with during school, but rarely out of school. i only had one possible lover in freshmen year; she was great, but i didn’t appreciate her as much as i should’ve and i fucked that up. im 19 now, attending college, focusing on what i’d like to do with life, but sometimes, what i do during the day-i feel as if its not enough. i haven’t experienced as much as any other teenager would’ve by the time they would’ve got to my age; their first kiss, their first dance, their first love, and a bunch of great friendships. i feel alone, like i stay at home too much, and i want to change that. i want to do the things that i didn’t.
idk im only 13 and i always stay inside, im never socializing bc im always too awkward and shy, i dont have friends cause they all stopped talkig to me after graduation and ppl see me as a weirdo??? i mean i guess bc i never rly hang out with anyone, i push away so many people and i only come out of my room to grab some food??? and this song kinda made me feel like i just have to live while im young and cherish the moments where i can still live life to the fullest without taking in responsibility. afterall im young and i have so much ahead of me
I turned 17 one and a half month ago, i should have commented on my 17th birthday but anyways here i am nonetheless. Watching this then made me feel like i was on the last step of childhood, given a last chance to hold on to its essence before i finally let go. It was such a bittersweet feeling especially because i was sure I'd never make it to 17. but now that i have, I'll hold on to it and make the most of it because i understand its a precious and innocent age, full of angst and anger and hope and passion. I guess growing up really sucks and being 18 sounds really scary. But it'll happen one day whether i like it or not, so might as well enjoy the journey. This is for my 18 year old self; i hope you're in a good college now man. I hope you're doing a degree you actually want to do or which ties into your future dreams. I hope you're writing that book; you better. I hope you're happy. We had an amazing childhood, and though there are many bad memories and trauma, there is good. So much of it. Memories for a lifetime. So don't you ever forget those
Okay but Sissy Spacek is legitimately one of the most beautiful actresses I've ever seen. There's something to ethereal and radiant about her, I think it's her hair and eyelash colour.
I’m 17 now. Every day I watch people my age live carefree and have fun while I sit at home. I’m not wanted and it hurts. I deal with so much and it seems like everyone is deaf to it. Going to come back to this comment if I’m still here in a couple years and see if anything has changed.
Listening to this song at 11:55 pm before i turn 18 yrs old ... Life been like rollercoaster .. my 17 yrs old was different ,i changed a lot, learned a lot .. i wonder what 18 yrs old phase of my life hold . It's kinda sad now ill be 18 which is considered adult and now real life begins ..my highschool will end soon and I'll never be 17 again ever in life ... this last minutes feel so precious to me ♡
i turned 17 last december and i got to spend a week in london (im from florida) a week or so after my birthday into the new year. i did so much in that week, i don’t know how we managed, but good god it was the best time of my life. the first real big thing i’ve done by myself and i feel like it sparked something in me. i’ve always loved the thought of traveling and exploring the world but that lit the fire. all i want is to go go go, i feel like i need to see the world, like it’s not even a want anymore. if i’m not in constant motion then i start to collapse in on myself in a sort of way, but it’s hard to do that right now. i can’t really be tethered to one place or thing for too long so i feel like my life is gonna be me hopping around from one choice to another and fucking shit up but hey, if it works i’m fine with it. even though i got to do my one big thing, i feel like all the small areas in my life are so lacking all the time. i can’t keep relationships, i can’t keep friends, i don’t know why nothing ever really works out for me with people but it never does go well. i don’t know there’s so much i need to work on in my life. this is pointless n i’ve rambled and this is so jumpy and choppy and so fucking ineloquent but i don’t really care, it’s a youtube comment not a fucking school paper. so there haha my life is shit but all i do is run from my problems
London really is a beautiful city , Im 16 at the moment , turning 17 this December on the 13th , what day is your birthday? Anyway , i read your comment and i could also relate to it because i live on an island so sometimes i feel trapped , as you do , with an itch for adventure. I really want to visit San Francisco , its personally my dream visit. As for resolving this issue theres not much we can do since we are both young , as soon as you turn eighteen this December you can do whatever you want so for the time being just stay positive.😊

I watched badlands last night and was going to suggest that you make it into one of your beautiful videos.. Then I found it. What an incredible film. We love what you do. x
I’m so sad because I’m gonna turn 18 soon and I feel like I haven’t done anything, I haven’t kissed anyone, I haven’t made friends and I haven’t done many of the thing I’d like, I’m just standing watching others live their lives. Feels like I’m wasting my youth
@@loveless-jr6ew tomorrow is my birthday and I came back to listen to this song one more time before turning 18 haha. I will try to remember your birthday and come here to congratulate you :)
You know there’s *those songs* you skip because they’re for special moments. For me; this is one of them. I remember coming home from the hospital after admitting myself because I was done and planned on getting unbuckled and just driving. And this was the first song I heard once I was walking out of the hospital.
It's that time of year again, where I have to come back to this song and it brings out memories bright and warm, and a sense of nostalgia like someone hugging you for the last time but it's ok, because you know they'll always be with you in your heart...i don't know, this song just has something very special.
I thought I was almost alone in this feeling of 'missing out' before I discovered the comment section. I feel like I'm wasting away my teens, im incredibly shy and rarely approach anyone to make friends so thus I have very few. Hanging out with someone is a once in a year thing almost, and I can't really even hang out much myself given that I can't even drive and good ol Arizona gives you a nice ol heatstroke for standing outside for 5 seconds. I just feel like my teens are a waiting game for something more when I reach my 20s. Although I'm grateful i have quite a few friends on the webs that are all lovely talented people who are a blast to talk with
not necessarily the things that you are missing are going to give you happiness, you are born and you are in this moment for something... enjoy and feel one with the moment because you are the center of your own universe.i love u 💕
this song makes me feel so nostalgic. it reminds me so much of my childhood summers. back when my friends and I would sneak down to the lake at night, walk through the woods doing nothing but talking and looking for animals, hang out at the park until dark, have our parents drop us off at the theater at night, staying up until dawn having whispered conversations about everything from our crushes to our hopes for the future, walking to the gas station to buy snacks for a spontaneous picnic, spending the whole day in the pool. back when my family would go on roadtrips and I'd wake up in the backseat and see the stars outside the window; I'd glance at the clock on the dashboard and see it was 2, 3am and crack the window a little to feel the warm wind on my face. all the times my parents would let me make a bunch of popcorn and stay up late watching movies in the living room. the last days of summer, when I'd just lay on my back staring at the ceiling fan going around and around, thinking back on all the wonderful adventures I'd had, and the ones I couldn't wait to have the following summer. back when my friends and I were the most important people in each other's lives. we'd do anything for each other because we didn't know any better. all we knew was unconditional love. my friends back then really made my summers magical. probably because they were magic themselves. I haven't reached out to them since then, and I kind of don't want to because I think it'd be pretty disillusioning. nonetheless, I'm grateful to them for all the beautiful, fun memories, and for teaching me how to love.
years of my teen life lost forever to depression and anxiety, i can only remember being seventeen as darkness and isolation
Bonnie S same
how are you now?
r u ok dude
Your time will come, keep faith 🌱
Same here. I was alone. I was insecure. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. Not much has changed ten years later.
17 is a number. You went thru what you went thru for a reason. Don't regret a single second of it. EVOLVE.

Eli Carr its hard..
"age is a number"
that's what pedos say
Y’all calling him a pedo totally missed the point😂
Eli Carr this touched my soul.
You can be 17 at any age, why do you have to be a certain age to start living your life? You don't, so live your life to the fullest. Have fun as if you were still 17.
me: < transage tumblr warflashbacks>
but tbh, i agree, this summer im turnin 20, last month i took the last of my senior exams. previously i was so caught up in all the stress and anxiety of high school that after i came home from the exam i just had this huge wave of relief and revalation wash over me. the realization that i did it, i have my whole life ahead of me, if i don't get into a uni i can start my working life, maybe work with my dad, or do something im passionate about. for the firdt time in like 5 years i sat down to paint as a breather(break). in the past 5 years i only sat down to paint 5 times max and the time i can recall was for my friends bday. i painted on a huge wood board for him. he loved it. i was very proud of it. it was one of the bests ive ever did. then after his party we carried the painting around the city with us in the bag with booze and other gifts. We were really out of it and broke a bottle of wine because we put the bags down to fast. :D it was awesome.
im turning 18 this year and I'm actually really goddamn scared :(
I'm 17. There is the "full life"? I'm scared and depressed only
Stop romanticizing this age, I cannot live in peace knowing that my life is not like that fairy tale from the stories of everyone I meet
Stop romanticizing any age. Even childhood can be horrible
Turning 21 this year. Feeling so old shouldn't feel bad. Totally agree, have fun with your youth and do what you want.
@@дпагсн for what it’s worth, at 27 yrs old I’m just now really starting to understand & appreciate who I really am. Still don’t know what I wanna ‘do with my life,’ but I definitely realize how I wanna live it.
everyone talking about turning 17... please appreciate and have loads of memories.. my life at 17 wasn't any better than it is now, and im deeply saddened that I never got to have an actual teenage life.
I'm 17 now and I've done fun and shady things but hey life is short right lmao
i liked this age as in the number itself not the life I was living or anything around me.. not really at least
cool cat I can relate soo much!! It makes me depressing tbh. Most if the time I tear up to the teenage movies and stories.
I don't have friends to live the teenage life lol
the most i’ve done since my birthday is make bad decisions but i got to be in a huge ass parade in a different country so woo that’s something i’ve done besides smoke and drink and fuck up my relationships with my very few friends
There is something so magical about being 17. It's really your last year of childhood, once you turn 18 you have to deal with growing up and going to college, worrying about your future and money....
Enjoy 17 while you can, you may not even understand how important it is until you've already lived past it.
And that is the truth of life
17 in quarantine
@@hehehehehehehehe7407 yeah its pretty sad, but the thing is i dont think i could have lived any better without it anyway
lmao i just had anxiety read this, lots of pressure for my "last year of childhood"
Age is just a number dude
The day before I turned 18, I listened to this song the entire day
Lizbeth Gonzalez I will do too In one month:(
I did too
i writed a letter for my future self that day
Ayooo you’re my sister lol
I'll be 18 in a couple months I'm gonna do that too, I'm so scared to grow up but that's just life, it'd be pretty boring if we could live forever. Still terrifies me though
I first heard this song when I was 17, I am 23 now. I keep coming back to this video every year. So much life has happened since 17 but I still have that same ache inside me.
A friend of mine passed away, he took his own life. They played this song to a slide show of his beautiful life and I cried like a baby. RIP matt

i'm turning 17 tomorrow. i never liked my birthdays.
16 was the best age of my life. a lot of good and bad things happened, but i think everything gave me the greatest experience. for me, 16 is age when you're not a child or an adult. you're somewhere in the middle and you can be either. both bad and good days had something that made me feel fine, like everything's alright, or i can get through everything, i'm strong. that's the point of life.every days can't be good. all of them will have at least a little bit darkness in it, nothing's perfect, but "even the worst things have things to love in them". i hope 17 will be full of pain, tears, news, smile, love, hug, kiss, inspiration, music... but, the most important thing i want is being strong and feel like i'm standing on the top of the world with wild winds blowing in my head, reminding me I'm so lucky that I'M ALIVE. CAUSE LIFE REALLY IS BEAUTIFUL, GUYS.
KEEP SMILING. YOU'RE LUCKY. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ON THINKING OF DEATH. THESE ARE YEARS THAT WILL NEVER COME BACK. SO GO AHEAD AND USE ALL YOUR CHANCES, DO CRAZY AND UNEXPECTED THINGS. AND HAPPINESS WILL COME BY ITSELF.
I'M HAPPY I REALIZED THAT. LOVE YOU.
and happy birthday to me
thank you very much, dear. hope your 4 months of being 17 are already amazing. peace ^^
this was powerful
hi. i’m turning 18 tomorrow. i just wanted to say that 17 was the best age of my life. “yet” - perhaps i’m optimistic enough to say that.
i too often have depression, i admit.
i hate being alive sometimes.
i really need to just leave everything behind sometimes.
BUT I’M HERE.
because maybe i like dramatizing things but i believe we are not born for no reason. and i don’t wanna waste my life. i was trying to keep that in my mind during my bad days. i’ll try to do the same this year.
please, remember.
Life really is beautiful. this years will never come back. we have one and only life. don’t waste it. help yourself. help others. let others help you.
i’ll try to do the same.
thanks a lot.
love you⭐️

It's midnight and today i am turning 17.
And i cant help but feel like i am wasting what are said to be the best years of my life. I always feel like i could and should be living much more meaningful life and experience many more things. I try my best to be faithful to what i aspire to be and work on my best self. One day i feel like i could do anything i set my mind to, other times i just want the time to pass by. Although i know damn well every moment could mean something more. I also do realise that life is not forever. Tomorrow is uncertain. I want to live my life as if i had just today, but i also feel pressure about the future.
For my birthday, i wish for more memories with my loved ones, less fake people around me and more genuine happines.
You can't waste being 17. It's a number. Do your best and remember to have fun; life is not about work or expectations. I'm 19 now, but I remember being 17. I had fun. There were times of shyness and difficulty, but I had friends, music, books, travelling. Extraordinary is not a standard. Your 17 can and should be extraordinary; so should your 18. Stop expecting stuff to happen. Just do what you feel like.
Roaming the campground up by the lake where we swam
We were hunting for snakes
But we couldn't find them
Surrounded by nothing
But the nothing's surrounded by us
But it's just me in my room
With my eyes shut
Oh, when I was seventeen
My mother said to me
"Don't stop imagining. The day that you do is the day that you die"
Now I pull a one-ton carriage
Instead of the horses, grazing along
I was having fun
We were all having fun
My brain can think faster than I can
But not fast enough
Who is there to talk to
That won't lock me up?
At least God doesn't judge me by the thoughts that aren't mine
The snakes I couldn't find
I don't want to find
Oh, when I was seventeen
My mother said to me
"Don't stop imagining. The day that you do is the day that you die"
Now I pull a one-ton carriage
Instead of the horses, grazing along
I was having fun
We were all having fun
When I was seventeen
My mother said to me
"Don't stop imagining. The day that you do is the day that you die"
Now I pull a one-ton carriage
Instead of the horses, grazing along
I was having fun
We were all having fun
Thankyou kind human
Thank u
Look 17 isnt some glorified time in your life it was beautiful and tragic in its own way dont feel saddened that you didnt experience the teenage everyone else seemed to have because in all actuality we all have different experiences and we are not the same people from that time. I never got the typical teenage experience because there is no typical teenage experience we are all just here
sweetbabylizard
Exactly, some people spent their teenage years going out until the sun rises, having fun, partying, others spent them listening to music alone and others just watched it go by, we’re all different.
@@itsalwaysme But how many of the one's who went out having fun wish they spent that time alone? Sure we're all different but there are things one can feel and do at 15-19 that can't be experienced at any other time in the vast majority of people's lives. The tragedy is real and just saying that different people have different experiences can't make it better. I'm not talking about the adolescence everyone else seemed to have, I'm talking about the adolescence that _you almost had_ but it slipped through your fingers
Have 34 now
After 27, years are going on fast forward.
What ever you are thinking now, DO IT! Regrets sucks
Thanks man, you're the reason I'm having this delicious chinese dinner!
Thanks man, you're the reason why im on crack :)
You’re the reason my sons dead
Thanks man, you’re the reason my wife stood me up at the alter. (She wasn’t worth it anyway)
I just turned 17 (on March 3rd) and gosh I feel like I’m ruining my life so much, I stay home all the time, I only have 2 irl friends that I absolutely never see, I’m skipping school all the time bc I’m too anxious to go and I don’t even go see my family. I feel like I can’t fix the mess I’ve made, I feel stuck in a loop and I don’t know how to actually get better and fix everything that I did. This kind of songs make me feel good but so bad and sad at the same time
I'm turning 17 and I'm in a similar situation except I prefer being alone.
I'm 17 too and were still so young and we have our whole life ahead of us. It will get better dont worry.
Just take it one day ay a Time. Do what makes you happy.
I know this too well..
I havent gone to school for about a year either because i was so ashamed of how i looked and i was really anxious too(and had/ have depression). i felt like (still kinda feel like ) i waisted precious time that i could've used to find out for example what kind of things i like and collect a lot of experiences . And most importantly find out who i am, but i didnt. Times like this will pass. Youre not alone ,youll get through it ♡
I’m exactly the same and I hate it but I love it. It’s a weird situation that I want to get out of but it’s like I’ve been like this for so long I don’t even know how to change it.
Im 17 for almost 3 months about now and I think ill beat depression and beat school and finally get to live the life I want
walking out of your school for the last time is the best moment of your life
well did you?
maybe for you its the worst, I'm building my career and love doing it. i cant wait to work in a job i love its better than school i hated..... try be positive brother, keep ya head up
:')
that’s what I thought . its worse i don’t know what to do I’m not ready
YOUTH LAGOOOOOOOOOON!!!! 9 years later and this song still hits me so deep... Congrats. Can't wait until it's 17 years later, I'll be back. :)
Used to bike around my neighborhood with this in the background as a kid, one day after losing my phone I had to make a new YT account, losing the song. Finally after 7 years I rediscovered it, I want to cry.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
17 was a magical year for me. for almost everyone, tbh. you're on the cusp of adulthood and the peak of your youth. all at the same time
no im sorry thats not true XD
17 was a ground breakingly spectacular year for me, but 14, 15, 16 was absalute trash, I truely didnt think I could go on like that anymore, So I decided I would either dedicate myself to spirituality (Zen Bhuddism in my case) or end it all
Needless to say iv never experienced that kindof struggle again, but I know there are many many people for who are struggling at 17 and they needent be comparing with others better experiences
17,such a sad age ..
To have friends,a hobby,a boy/girl-friend,chances to feel really free and make dreams when circumstances don't give you no opportunity
Why sould be all too difficult?
Hope 17’s indeed a sad age, but at the same time it’s the best age to be
I don't have none of that and I'm turning 17 haha
Cyborg is actually a time machine ..taking u back in time, when u were in love, happy, naive, and everything nostalgic 😭
I just wana say I really love all your uploads and its the only thing i look upto when am lonely and sad
When I was 17 there was absolutely no hope for my future... it's crazy how things have started to work out the harder I pushed and just kept trying to get better. The endless abyss started to fade and I suddenly didn't feel so trapped. it gets better if you just keep going
Well said
Those comments make me cry
Now that i’m 18, this song’s relatable beyond 17 to me. “don’t stop imagining, the day that you day is the day that you die”, it hits home
I feel like I've always wanted to live out in the wilds and do what I want, just me and the world...I think this is freedom.
Also this reminds me of my childhood when I still lived just day to day with nothing to worry about.
yep this is exactly what freedom seems to me too. hope one day we will be able to throw it all and start living like we want
I live the way you see this... Same here
People are always saying you’d die out there but I’m prepared were animals and I’d choose freedom over security anyway
@@okejtala you're always able to. there's nothing holding you back, if you want to do it.
i’m 17 listening to this and it’s bittersweet; this year has been very lonely but i feel like i’ve finally come into my own. i feel like a completely different person to who i was at 16 in the best way possible. it was a really, really intense and traumatising age and i’ve spent most of this year trying to heal from it. my healing is not linear, but i’m at a place where i want to get better and live my life. last year i just wanted to be gone.
i don’t really have many friends, i spend most of my time alone which at times feels isolating but i’m so deep in thought all the time that even my own company exhausts me. i’ve started writing and making more art, which has strangely made me view life in a different way. i’m constantly dissecting things and trying to reinvent my vision through artistic expression. i’m learning to love being an observer and taking a back seat to really watch what’s unfolding in front of me. life is very still right now, and this stillness feels very comfortable after years of chaos and trauma.
17 has definitely not been a year of teenage wildness, but i have the rest of my life to run free. right now, this simplicity and silence is what i need, to assist me in navigating, discovering and unpealing. it’ll all be okay.
Best of luck for the rest of your life
I'm listening to this crying my eyes out right now, I'll be 18 tomorrow and I'm not ready to grow up, I'm so scared but at the same time hopeful that things will get better. I feel like I lost so many years, feeling hopeless and wasting away in my room but I'm glad I have hope now. It hurts so much right now, but I know future me is laughing knowing I have no clue how good it's going to be. can't wait to come back and see this comment and feel so much happier and I can see how far I've come and how much I've grown.
Slow down. You'll find out soon enough.
hope your 18s been good :)
@@macatonii a lot better then I could of expected, really excited for 19 soon. Hope your year was lovely to ☺️
I turn 25 today, looking back I had thought my life sucked. But tbh I was lucky and had a pretty good coming of age story. Point I’m trying to make is that the grass always looks greener on the other side until you look back. Then you realize your grass wasn’t that bad to begin with. But years have passed and now you’re feeling nostalgic because you wish you could go back and have been more appreciative of EVERYTHING.
I turn in 18 in 29 minutes. It's astonishing how much of a journey is still left to be discovered. I don't know how much will my life change many years from now. Thus, I am writing a letter to my future self while this song plays on repeat.
Happy birthday
@@abith10ne thank you!
It makes me sad to spend such a valuable age preparing for the university exam
Turned 17 10 years ago. As I listen to this I can see how much my life has changed. From having fun and dancing and staying out and drinking and partying and falling in love and random kisses, to my current 9-5 legal office job where I type this at. I have no idea where most of the people I had so much fun with are right now, everyone went their different ways. Some moved far away, some passed on...
I can't say I regret anything, it all happened as it should have and I am grateful for the memories.
Be young when you are young, it is much easier then than when you are older.
17 doesn't have to be a whirlwind of teenage kicks. Its the age when you become you. When you break out of yourself and begin the journey of learning who you are.
Its a beautiful age, but holy shit its hard. As someone turning 18 in a few days I wanna tell you to stick it out, you'll be glad you did.
This is so beautiful I'm crying right now music is something beautiful I hope we never forget that. Have a nice day everybody ❤️
i discovered this song when i was 17. Im 23 now and still listen to it frequently. Only advice i got is, everything will work out. This world is fucking scary and hard times are sometimes more frequent than you would like. But trust in yourself. Take care of yourself. Learn about yourself and what you like, who you are and try to live as you, unapologetically. Take risk, talk to that girl or boy you have a crush on, apply for that job, that college WHATEVER IT IS! If it feels like something you want. Go after it. Just be you in every shape form and fashion regardless of outward opinions. You are all you got at the end of the day.
A corporate job isn't the only answer kids, sometimes you need to take what your parents tell you with a grain of salt. I am 24, did great in college and started my first job out of school with PriceWaterhouseCoopers; I now work for a PE firm. Money is not the answer, and at a certain point in time you start thinking it is too late! I have too many flaws to count, so don't take this as a I know the answer type of comment haha..but I 100% know music is still truly the only consistent joy and therapy that has saved my life, and oh do I wish I could go back in time to pursue it at a younger age. Stay true to ya heart, and let your soul make your decisions.
when I was 17 I wanted to be a tattoo artist , im a real estate agent now . My boyfriend told me I couldn’t do it
Byron, well said
I actually had to tell this to my parents. I tried by quoting another song:
"And someday I hope to make it clear to you
That success is not determined by leather bound books and ink on paper
But rather the passion that I have found out of heartbreak and anger
I know that happiness is stability, but stability is not a desk job
And I refuse to sacrifice my aspirations for an income and security
What the hell is "security"?
See, I'd rather die at my fullest, poor, but free to roam
Than let an office drain me slowly for the sake of a home
'Cause I watched your endless intermission, an actor trapped in mediocrity
Gave up on your ambitions and your convictions compared to mine, what a rigid dichotomy"
Movements - Nineteen
Unfortunately it only worked short term and they still try to pressure me
I am 17 for almost 13 years now and I don't give a shit. Do what you want. Every age has its difficulties and to be honest: I don't want to be 17 again.
I turned 18 today and I feel crushed to say the least. My life pretty much ended on September 2010, I've had no friends since we moved out... Never went to parties, never kissed, never had sex, never got drunk, never got into a teenage relationship. Some might say that these are all unimportant stuff but they are, that's the problem. Your teenage years are meant to be used for enjoying the world, doing stupid things, building up a foundation for your life after school ends and real life begins. And I let it all go to waste. Today I looked at my chilhood photos from when I was a baby, a toddler, a child. Even though I laughed to most of the pictures I couldn't help but feel a lump in my throat after I went through all of them. Can't believe that the kid I was looking at used to be me. Why did I have to fuck everything up? Maybe in the next life I'll get it right. Until then I'll just roam around this planet and look for an exit.
Hi, hope you're feeling better
just live it now
Hi my beautiful friend, I just want to say I love you, I care about you, I’m thinking of you, and I believe in you. I was so very much alone for a long time too, I was and felt completely alone, lost scared, terrified, and hopeless in childhood, teenage hood, and right up until last summer, I’m 25 now. I’ve cried so many restless nights in agonizing regret that I’d lost my childhood, my adolescence, my everything, my dreams. I thought to myself “I’m a fuck up and that’s all I’ll ever be. I’ve completely lost my youth and it’s all my fault, I’m a loser and that’s all I’ll ever be.” I felt like I’m falling forward into a future that I hate and I don’t want any part of when all I want is to go back in time and start over, to be better. I never had a girlfriend in high school, or even university, and not even until 2 years after that. And even then, we were together for only a week. I still love her and am in love with her, and I so desperately want to be with her. But I don’t know that she’ll ever want to be with me again, or even see me. But I hope so. But for you my friend, I love you and I’m here for you. Sometimes a chat and a walk and a bright sunny day with a friend can start to turn things around. I know you’re 20 now and that’s amazing. So amazing! You’re still a child, still a teenager, still so young in your heart, you always will be, that never leaves or dies, please believe me. I love you, God loves you unconditionally, and I’m here for you if you want to chat. I won’t leave you if you need help, if you need a friend. Love you and God bless. You’re beautiful in every way and you’re not alone, never alone.

Badlands (1973) I love this film so much.
Underrated timeless classic.
I'm 19 now. And when I was 17, it was one of the darkest years of my life. I'm too young to say these but, please enjoy your childhood. Enjoy it now or you might miss the youth you never experienced.
This hits too hard. Badlands was the first movie I showed her
Shit, nostalgia hits incredibly strong and the future is so scary
my niece was diagnosed with Sandhoff Disease and I can't help but to dwell on the fragility of life and how easy it is for people to pass on. This and all of the Year of Hibernation gives me a sense of what is important to value and memorialize. Such as our time being young and living each day to the fullest.
I'm almost 17, bout a month or so and I don't have any problems with my life rn, I just like the music.
I’m 26 and let me the younger generation something… enjoy your last teenage years. Do what you want, cherish the things around you, hangout with your friends, make new friends, don’t do hard drugs, explore new things, don’t be afraid of the future!
I wouldn't call teenage years the 'best' by any means but there is just something so magical and ethereal about that times that you can't help but longing them sometimes
Being 17 and lonely listening to this song, almost makes me feel like I have friends. I'll just close my eyes alone in my room and never stop imagining.
I'm not 17. And I don't know if I'll make it there but it does comfort me knowing that I can step out of my life at any minute. Ps i think the song is saying to never stop imagining about things that you could do even if it hurts❤️
You are still alive and you can still live in this moment
I had my seventeen more than I deserve when everything broken into pieces. Thanks to you. Thank you for being there. I wish you're always happy in your life and your little family.

17 right now. I’ve sat long enough in self-pity, I’m tired of the indoors. Bike rides around my new neighborhood are what puts me at ease. These new streets, looking at fallen leaves, discovering new parks and drinking tea by myself. I moved away from all my friends in the summer but sometimes being alone ain’t that bad. I’m quite alive, thank you.
it’s funny because i used to feel like i was wasting my youth away. every birthday i had was just a reminder of how nothing has changed, but now, i’m turning 18 in about a month and i feel like it’s going to be where i start everything over. this song would have made me sad to listen to if i had listened to it a little bit ago, but hearing it now makes me feel ready to let go of my teenage years in a strange way. i guess the lesson learned is that you don’t have to live your ‘best life’ during your teenage years because it’s unrealistic! you’ve got your whole life ahead of you to do the things you want to do and to be the person you want to be. i’m not wasting anymore time feeling sad about these past years.
When I was 17 I fell in love with my best friend, and recently we separated and she started dating his office colleague. Maybe I wasn’t good enough for her but I always wanted to see her happy and she is happy with him.
“But it’s just me in my room”
it's sad to see so many comments from 17 year olds talking about wasting their teenage years. mine were hell, i didn't think i'd make it through em -- by the time i turned, say, 20 or 21, things got infinitely better. everyone matures at their own pace, life is always changing. your head will begin to work someday, keep it up, folks
Roaming the campground up by the lake where we swam
We were hunting for snakes
But we couldn't find them
Surrounded by nothing But the nothing's surrounded by us
But it's just me in my room
With my eyes shut
Oh, when I was seventeen
My mother said to me
"Don't stop imagining, the day that you do is the day that you die"
Now I pull a one-ton carriage
Instead of the horses grazing the lawn
And I was having fun
We were all having fun
My brain can think faster than I can I'm not fast enough
Who is there to talk to That won't lock me up?
At least God doesn't judge me by the thoughts that aren't mine
The snakes I couldn't find
I don't want to find
Oh oh oh
Oh when I was seventeen my mother said to me
"Don't stop…

This is like rewatching a part of your life you can never get back, but you want it back so much that you can't stop playing, but no matter how much you do, you can't recapture what has gone... a moment in time gone forever.
I kinda wasted my age 17. Couldnt see what was happening around me, didnt wanna step out for anything, missed lots of things. Yea I think I fucked my age 17 up. But I still have some hope for my 20s.
Emre Kırsolak same here bro...

No one missed anything because they where still alive and lived through it❣️
Good-bye to the high school years, the friends I made, the ones who drifted apart, the teachers who have left positive impacts on my life, all the schoolwork, the nights crying, the teenage adolescence, naivety, and all the memories. I will miss it all.
I won't ever forget you, Seb. Stay safe.
I feel better knowing I'm not alone in the feeling that I missed out on life.
Am I the only teenager that gets nostalgic with great memories while listening? Not regrets or wishing I had better teenage years. My teenage years have been really good. My summer down by the sea with my friends, kayaking on the lake, talking about the possible future over bonfires and s’mores, dancing with them in the woods, slipping in duck poop down by the water, drinking heavily caffeinated herbal tea, driving late at night getting drinks, partying in my best friend’s basement, coffee dates with an old friend from camp in Seattle, going on trips to Disneyland with some new friends, falling in “love” with every boy that pretended he cared. And I still have a few more years like this. And I’m scared to turn 18, because then I don’t get to run away. But I’m ready to move on and remember the amazing memories that came with being 14, 15,16 and now, 17.
Edit: I turn 18 in one month. And this summer has been one for the books. I don’t know if I’m ready to grow up, but I’ll take each day as it is and will be hopeful for the next :)
This song is a classic for me and this video is beautiful.
i was 17 last summer and listened to this song on repeat almost every day. i remember spending the whole day with my ex boyfriend at the end of July. he was my first love. it was the day we started dating and probably the most magical day of my life. we wandered around the forest, sat by the lake and watched the sunset. we ate muffins that i baked for him that morning and talked and kissed. i can't recall everything that happened exactly but i can still recall all the impressions i got from that day, you know, things like the beautiful black color of his hair in the sunshine, the itch of the mosquito bits, the smell of trees and the color of his shirt. the sound of birds and people swimming and playing volleyball by the lake. the shining on the water and the sweatiness of his palm. the moon above the lake, the phone call he got from this mom, the quiet talking, the way i was too scared to look him in the eyes, and all the love. all that honest, pure love. we were very shy with each other, especially me because i had had no experience with love before that. it was pure and it hurts to know that that kind of purity is only given once in a lifetime. when i went home that evening i started listening to this song again and now i know that in some magical way, i could put all my emotions into this melody that night. now that i'm back to this song 7 months later, it feels like i'm back to an era that's dead and i can't do anything else but sob.
I just turned 17 yesterday and you uploaded this video! Thanks!
Bob Kesselaar happy birthday young kid !

i wasted all my teenage years. i never went to dances because i thought they were stupid. i still do, but i guess the experience is important. i had a group of friends that i would talk, laugh, and hang out with during school, but rarely out of school. i only had one possible lover in freshmen year; she was great, but i didn’t appreciate her as much as i should’ve and i fucked that up.
im 19 now, attending college, focusing on what i’d like to do with life, but sometimes, what i do during the day-i feel as if its not enough. i haven’t experienced as much as any other teenager would’ve by the time they would’ve got to my age; their first kiss, their first dance, their first love, and a bunch of great friendships. i feel alone, like i stay at home too much, and i want to change that.
i want to do the things that i didn’t.
did you do these how are u now?
i hope youre doing fine
I cant stop listen to this song... so beautiful... now Im 43 but sometimes feel like 17...
idk im only 13 and i always stay inside, im never socializing bc im always too awkward and shy, i dont have friends cause they all stopped talkig to me after graduation and ppl see me as a weirdo??? i mean i guess bc i never rly hang out with anyone, i push away so many people and i only come out of my room to grab some food??? and this song kinda made me feel like i just have to live while im young and cherish the moments where i can still live life to the fullest without taking in responsibility. afterall im young and i have so much ahead of me

I turned 17 one and a half month ago, i should have commented on my 17th birthday but anyways here i am nonetheless. Watching this then made me feel like i was on the last step of childhood, given a last chance to hold on to its essence before i finally let go. It was such a bittersweet feeling especially because i was sure I'd never make it to 17. but now that i have, I'll hold on to it and make the most of it because i understand its a precious and innocent age, full of angst and anger and hope and passion. I guess growing up really sucks and being 18 sounds really scary. But it'll happen one day whether i like it or not, so might as well enjoy the journey. This is for my 18 year old self; i hope you're in a good college now man. I hope you're doing a degree you actually want to do or which ties into your future dreams. I hope you're writing that book; you better. I hope you're happy. We had an amazing childhood, and though there are many bad memories and trauma, there is good. So much of it. Memories for a lifetime. So don't you ever forget those
This is one of my favorite songs ever and I just think the clip at 2:21 suits the beat of the music so well. 😍
My thoughts exactly!!
yes Yes YES!!!
This song needs to be about 1 or 2 minutes longer. Minimum.
An extended version would be fantastic.
Okay but Sissy Spacek is legitimately one of the most beautiful actresses I've ever seen. There's something to ethereal and radiant about her, I think it's her hair and eyelash colour.
the synth lead perfectly fits the video at 1:17. her look is so pure
I’m 17 now. Every day I watch people my age live carefree and have fun while I sit at home. I’m not wanted and it hurts. I deal with so much and it seems like everyone is deaf to it. Going to come back to this comment if I’m still here in a couple years and see if anything has changed.
you are wanted, you just havent found the right people yet.
obrigado
vc é meu orgulho!
obrigada vc

Listening to this song at 11:55 pm before i turn 18 yrs old ... Life been like rollercoaster .. my 17 yrs old was different ,i changed a lot, learned a lot .. i wonder what 18 yrs old phase of my life hold .
It's kinda sad now ill be 18 which is considered adult and now real life begins ..my highschool will end soon and I'll never be 17 again ever in life ... this last minutes feel so precious to me ♡
i turned 17 last december and i got to spend a week in london (im from florida) a week or so after my birthday into the new year. i did so much in that week, i don’t know how we managed, but good god it was the best time of my life. the first real big thing i’ve done by myself and i feel like it sparked something in me. i’ve always loved the thought of traveling and exploring the world but that lit the fire. all i want is to go go go, i feel like i need to see the world, like it’s not even a want anymore. if i’m not in constant motion then i start to collapse in on myself in a sort of way, but it’s hard to do that right now. i can’t really be tethered to one place or thing for too long so i feel like my life is gonna be me hopping around from one choice to another and fucking shit up but hey, if it works i’m fine with it. even though i got to do my one big thing, i feel like all the small areas in my life are so lacking all the time. i can’t keep relationships, i can’t keep friends, i don’t know why nothing ever really works out for me with people but it never does go well. i don’t know there’s so much i need to work on in my life. this is pointless n i’ve rambled and this is so jumpy and choppy and so fucking ineloquent but i don’t really care, it’s a youtube comment not a fucking school paper. so there haha my life is shit but all i do is run from my problems
London really is a beautiful city , Im 16 at the moment , turning 17 this December on the 13th , what day is your birthday? Anyway , i read your comment and i could also relate to it because i live on an island so sometimes i feel trapped , as you do , with an itch for adventure. I really want to visit San Francisco , its personally my dream visit.
As for resolving this issue theres not much we can do since we are both young , as soon as you turn eighteen this December you can do whatever you want so for the time being just stay positive.😊
Lucas Christopher my birthday is on the 14th! we’ll get out of these trapped feeling eventually, we are still technically really really young. i hope you get to visit SF soon, it looks like an amazing place!
Back in the day where I was 17, less anxiety. And now I am 29. At that time I careless with my parents. Now I miss my dad :)
junior year hs vibes
I love you for making these incredible videos...the songs fit so effortlessly on these video. I am in love! oh when i was 17 i didn't know that it was such an important age, now I am almost 20!
When the pretty birds have flown,
And you feel hurt and alone,
Be strong and carry on
And remember that life goes on!
One thing always sure
Life go one with you or withaowt you no matter haw much you seen
In tree words i can sum up everything
I've learned about life:
It Goes On!!!
I hate my life
My house
My feelings
But hey
At least there's music!
Thanks for making a video to this beautiful song 💚 It means a lot to me since 2012 (when I turned 17). Greetings from Perú :)
I always find unexpected solace in this channel- thanks for making these videos
I watched badlands last night and was going to suggest that you make it into one of your beautiful videos.. Then I found it. What an incredible film. We love what you do. x
I’m so sad because I’m gonna turn 18 soon and I feel like I haven’t done anything, I haven’t kissed anyone, I haven’t made friends and I haven’t done many of the thing I’d like, I’m just standing watching others live their lives. Feels like I’m wasting my youth
same, I’ll turn 18 on may 12th and I kinda feel the same as you
@@loveless-jr6ew tomorrow is my birthday and I came back to listen to this song one more time before turning 18 haha. I will try to remember your birthday and come here to congratulate you :)

I wish I was still 17

Tess Worley What would you say to someone who's seventeen?

Why does everyone say 17 :/ ur like between borderline adult and teen
You know there’s *those songs* you skip because they’re for special moments. For me; this is one of them. I remember coming home from the hospital after admitting myself because I was done and planned on getting unbuckled and just driving. And this was the first song I heard once I was walking out of the hospital.
this song is really underrated. :)
It's that time of year again, where I have to come back to this song and it brings out memories bright and warm, and a sense of nostalgia like someone hugging you for the last time but it's ok, because you know they'll always be with you in your heart...i don't know, this song just has something very special.
Musique merveilleuse qui provoque la nostalgie. 🎵🎵
Wonderful music that causes nostalgia. 🎵
I thought I was almost alone in this feeling of 'missing out' before I discovered the comment section. I feel like I'm wasting away my teens, im incredibly shy and rarely approach anyone to make friends so thus I have very few. Hanging out with someone is a once in a year thing almost, and I can't really even hang out much myself given that I can't even drive and good ol Arizona gives you a nice ol heatstroke for standing outside for 5 seconds. I just feel like my teens are a waiting game for something more when I reach my 20s. Although I'm grateful i have quite a few friends on the webs that are all lovely talented people who are a blast to talk with
this song always makes me feel safe.
not necessarily the things that you are missing are going to give you happiness, you are born and you are in this moment for something... enjoy and feel one with the moment because you are the center of your own universe.i love u 💕
I'm in love with this channel.
this song makes me feel so nostalgic. it reminds me so much of my childhood summers. back when my friends and I would sneak down to the lake at night, walk through the woods doing nothing but talking and looking for animals, hang out at the park until dark, have our parents drop us off at the theater at night, staying up until dawn having whispered conversations about everything from our crushes to our hopes for the future, walking to the gas station to buy snacks for a spontaneous picnic, spending the whole day in the pool. back when my family would go on roadtrips and I'd wake up in the backseat and see the stars outside the window; I'd glance at the clock on the dashboard and see it was 2, 3am and crack the window a little to feel the warm wind on my face. all the times my parents would let me make a bunch of popcorn and stay up late watching movies in the living room. the last days of summer, when I'd just lay on my back staring at the ceiling fan going around and around, thinking back on all the wonderful adventures I'd had, and the ones I couldn't wait to have the following summer. back when my friends and I were the most important people in each other's lives. we'd do anything for each other because we didn't know any better. all we knew was unconditional love. my friends back then really made my summers magical. probably because they were magic themselves. I haven't reached out to them since then, and I kind of don't want to because I think it'd be pretty disillusioning. nonetheless, I'm grateful to them for all the beautiful, fun memories, and for teaching me how to love.
Im 17 and Im saddened it will be my last child-like age .... but thats ok
Because of this channel, I discovered a lot of beautiful songs and movies.
This feels like I just fell asleep and had a nice little dream
