I first discovered The Wonder Years when I stumbled across Came Out Swinging in 2015. That year, I was 19 and I had to move back in with my parents because I couldn't afford on-campus housing. I was working almost full time at KFC and going to college full time, eating and sleeping just enough to keep me going. I was depressed and anxious and I felt hopeless. I have vivid memories of mopping the KFC bathroom floor while blasting Came Out Swinging through my headphones and promising myself that I'd get through it. In the 5 years since then, I finished that degree and a Masters degree, got engaged, and landed my dream job. Hearing the chorus of this new song takes me back to that shit winter in 2015, putting on my freshly washed uniform that somehow still smelled of stale grease, digging my car out of the snow so I could drive to work and digging it out again after my shift so I could drive back home.
Very similar story. This song was like a religious experience for me. They always have a way of writing about very specific things and making it relatable.
This is so damn good. Constant changes in life, Went from a homeless pop punk kid to a dad with a mortgage. Glad I can rely on soupy and phillys finest to not sell out and keep sounding amazing through the years.
I wanna be greedy and say I want a whole album in this style but I have to be thankful we got anything at all. These two singles are magnificent. Thank you
Now I have a nostalgic feeling of wanting to visit my hometown in Philadelphia after finally making it outside, even though I’ve never been to Philadelphia.
I know this sounds cliché but TWY really got me through the latter part of my teenage years and early 20s. I really don't know how I would've dealt with all the angst and frustrations I had if not for them. _I came out swinging but I'm still walking out with two black eyes and a split lip_
A factor could be that they asked the producer who produced those albums to work on these two songs so I’m not sure if this is a one shot for the producer or if they are going to continue to work with them
I accidentally overheard this song on my Spotify recommends. I was working 2 jobs, getting my girl through college and had 1 day off per week, every 2-3 weeks. She's graduated, but I'll never forget crying my eyes out from the exhaustion I felt, the pain in my feet and back, the excruciating delve of despair that I felt as I constantly guesses to myself 'is this it? Is this all I'm doing for the rest of my life?' The song got me thru the day at least every time, and now I'm going to go all the way with my college degree and doing 100% better.
My favorite band without a doubt :) this one feels extra special, having the line “The Wayside” in there, my band’s name, I know has nothing to do with me, but like every song by The Wonder Years, it feels so personal and connected to my life. Musically, lyrically, everyone knocked it out of the park. And the video is so fun and cool too, lots of love to Hank. Best to all of you people out here watching wherever you are, Sun Drenched Pavement Society we are... not sad anymore. Virtual hugs
Some of the greatest nights of my life were hanging around with my friends, listening to Upsides, Suburbia, and Greatest Generation for hours on end, hoping into somebodies car and going down the city to see the wonder years. favorite part of being from philly is connecting with all of their songs.
I only had one record downloaded on my phone from the bus ride from Buffalo to NYC, it was The Greatest Generation. I still put that on every time i need to roadtrip and lose myself to thought
I’ve been listening to The Wonder Years since the very beginning and it’s truly been amazing watching these dudes grow not only as a band, but as good guys in general. Every song has it’s own unique meaning/past behind it. Which always somehow allows the listener to feel connected to it in his or her own special unique way as if the song was written specifically for them. Keep up the amazing work boys, can’t wait to get more jams from you.
Way to kick back to roots in the midst of a time when the world needed you guys the most. Every version of this band has been a1 but I have a special love for this style of the wonder years just not giving a fuck and shouting their problems with us all!
Love love love you guys ❤️ My Spotify wrapped said I was in the top 0.05% of their listeners this year, that means like only 185 other people listened to them as much as me! Can’t wait to get my TWY tattoo, this band means so fucking much to me
I didn't know these dudes were still around. I haven't heard anything new since I had seen them in Detroit at a Record Store doing an intimate Acoustic set.

Damn, that's an awesome story. We all angsty teenagers hope to make it where you find yourself today!
Respect
Awesome!
Respect
Very similar story. This song was like a religious experience for me. They always have a way of writing about very specific things and making it relatable.
This is the band and sound I grew up on. Philly's pride!!!
I love your channel even more now!!
Worlds colliding! I love SBSK even more now!
Love your channel even more now.
@@DeeDubVlog haha I was thinking the same thing, worlds colliding. Chris just gets better and better
YES!
I never expect Dan’s speaking voice and singing voice to be so vastly different.
The only thing that can save 2020, the return of Hank.
Fucking THIS!
In Hank we trust
Hank for president 2024
Man, I love the new stuff TWD produces, but there's just something about this style that feels right. Thank you boys for releasing these two new songs
This style is where they truly belong.
This is so damn good. Constant changes in life, Went from a homeless pop punk kid to a dad with a mortgage. Glad I can rely on soupy and phillys finest to not sell out and keep sounding amazing through the years.
your kiddo will have invariably good taste in music too! 😊
I wanna be greedy and say I want a whole album in this style but I have to be thankful we got anything at all. These two singles are magnificent. Thank you
Just one more album in this style it's all I ask. This song crushes it. 🤘🤘
This
You asked and they delivered!
This week is gonna swallow me, but when it spits me out I'm landing on my feet.
I'm going to bed tonight in my New Found Glory Hoodie
so fuck the world
And what it wants me to be;
*so fuck the world*
Now I have a nostalgic feeling of wanting to visit my hometown in Philadelphia after finally making it outside, even though I’ve never been to Philadelphia.
as a canadian, the american mid west rust belt era fascinates me, even as I observe it in it's midst, if only from afar, mostly.
who else had the wonder years as their most played this year 😢 i was in the 0.5% of listeners
Yup! .0005% for me!
.01% for me boss
Top 1%. I failed this year
me too!
i had 82 hours
modern worker solidarity anthem if ever there was one
God I’ve missed Josh doing backing vocals
This makes me miss sold out shows. Ending the night covered in sweat and spit of others. Together unified for the music
Saw them for the upsides/suburbia tour last week and it was just like this
I know this sounds cliché but TWY really got me through the latter part of my teenage years and early 20s. I really don't know how I would've dealt with all the angst and frustrations I had if not for them.

More importantly, the production quality of these songs have finally gone back to the good days.
A factor could be that they asked the producer who produced those albums to work on these two songs so I’m not sure if this is a one shot for the producer or if they are going to continue to work with them
Oh wow this is one of their best songs ever

Absolutely beautiful ❤️
Btw just google ‘the wonder years discord’ that’s us
As someone who only got into The Wonder Years a few years ago... If they release an album with this sound now... It'll be such a gift
This is the coolest way to celebrate album anniversaries ever. Thank you
NEVER FORGET WE LOVE YOU SOUPY
I saw you guys live with A Day to Remember in Tulsa Oklahoma and my life has never been the same.
What a show
@@erikmacaluso yes it was

as a hardcore kid who got too old, this breaks my heart.
This song is a freaking banger. Seriously, so good. Well done, wonder bois
I can’t believe it’s been 10 years since I started listening to this beautiful band
I only had one record downloaded on my phone from the bus ride from Buffalo to NYC, it was The Greatest Generation. I still put that on every time i need to roadtrip and lose myself to thought
This music video made so excited for future concerts and nostalgic for the past ones ❤
God, it’s things like this that don’t surprise me why this band will be remembered forever. 👏👏👏
there's a rousing call to action quality to this song we all need this year. may saturday night right before a Wonder Years show come again soon!
I'm not even from Philly, but The Wonder Years make me feel like I am.
As a fan of TWY for a decade now... This song just hits different.
This just sent me back 10 years and damn I’m feeling youthful!
I JUST FUCKING LOVE WHEN THIS GUY VOICE CRACKS.
FOR SOME REASON IT JUST SOUNDS SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL
SOUPY IS A GOD
First goosebumps iv'e got from a song in months!
Can't believe Upsides came out 10 years ago. What a time

i think this song saved my life last year honestly
I want to personally thank my streaming music service for recommending this song.
I had a mini heart attack watching this. It just felt so fucking right. I loved every second.
still goes just as hard
I've grown up listening to The Wonder Years and fuck, they always know how to make me cry in one way or another.
I literally cried seeing the videos of shows... I’ve grown up with them and this song fills me with so much nostalgia. Fuck 2020, give us shows back!
anyone else anxious as shit waiting for the inside scoop on merch or is it just me
I want that 10year anniversary box set lol
My favorite band
The fact that this only has 43k views is a crime. Such an incredible tribute to the classic TWY sound, I've had it on repeat for the last 2 weeks.
If TWY hadn’t existed and Soupy didn’t eloquently describe the feelings I felt as an adolescent. I likely wouldn’t be here.
Yes!
Absolutely incredible, the passion brings tears to my eyes
Chills when I hear these guys
The wonder years is New England culture
A blast from that past... Suddenly I'm a 19 year old midwestern kid again.
It’s definitely a good year to start getting into the wonder years
It’s a cold night out here, maybe some steaming hot Soupy will cure the depression.
i glug it that stuff down straight from can with the guys in goodwill suits and 90s starter jackets
@@funcats1999 finally a vibe I can coast on
This song still slaps just as hard as the first time I heard it
This is for them Massachusetts boys 🤟🔥
The boys are back! That was fantastic
Man, this is good.
Thanks TWY, haven't seen ya in about a decade so I hope to soon.
the 2010's sad boi era 2.0? we're here for it
just decided to start clicking around and stumbled upon this. It is a good day.
I think I speak for everyone when I say we need more crazy Dan
Vocals kinda sounds a bit like how soupy sings with Aaron west. I love it.
Way to kick back to roots in the midst of a time when the world needed you guys the most. Every version of this band has been a1 but I have a special love for this style of the wonder years just not giving a fuck and shouting their problems with us all!
Came out flapping 🦅💯
Yess can't believe I didn't know about these. Love it
HANK IS BACK :D
My favorite band of all time.
Love love love you guys ❤️ My Spotify wrapped said I was in the top 0.05% of their listeners this year, that means like only 185 other people listened to them as much as me! Can’t wait to get my TWY tattoo, this band means so fucking much to me
yes
Will never stop rocking with yall TWY make my day everytime
Out here living it, TWY forever 💪❤
I’m somewhere in the crowd at the 3 min mark. That is the cd release show for upsides at the ICC church in Allston, MA. What a time.
This is exactly what I needed today.
never disappointed with this band
We love you
i love you guys so much
Good lord I love you guys, and this video made me miss your shows so much
i love when the wonder years
Best Wonder Years song I have heard in a long time!
Thank god for The Wonder Years ❤
this song is so underrated
Can't wait for this live
I miss the upsides era so much, so many songs that made me feel identified.
Thank you for this
I love this so much.
New songs help me move into the future
These guys can't write a bad song. Like, at all.
Bruh, I haven't listened to these guys in a while.
Thank you so much for this
This Song! Love it!
SIGYAANIN deluxe is probably my favorite album ever
my favourite part's 1:08
Almost nobody enters a chorus like TWY does. Often imitated, never duplicated
another amazing song, u all can't do a bad song i love u all❤❤❤❤
God damn I can still smell the grease from working at the Safeway deli years ago.
This song hits the feels in the best way ❤️
I´M WAKING BACK UP!
So excited!! I forgot what month it is again... (so happy it’s *actually* almost Christmas) ready for Out On My Feet :)
I didn't know these dudes were still around. I haven't heard anything new since I had seen them in Detroit at a Record Store doing an intimate Acoustic set.
BTW some of the friendliest dudes too, along with Four Year Strong.
damn 3 seconds into the song and i'm already getting goosebumps
