This song is hands down one of the best songs ever , let alone one of the best soundtrack songs that goes perfectly with the narrative of the movie . Amazing interlude . So epic
You should have seen me when the Soundtrack CD came out. 10 year old me replayed this song SO much. If CDs worked the way VHS tapes did, the song would be unrecognizable because of the amount of sheer amount of times this was replayed.
@@Jim_The_Fish I remember when walmart used to have the demo booths with new CD releases. I played the shit out of this specific track very loud with no regrets
They're doing a reunion tour right now in case you haven't heard since they announced it last year during Riot Fest. It's to celebrate the anniversary of Ocean Avenue.
Coming back from 2024 and still remember what happened in my life in 2004 through this song. Yeah, its 20th years ago. Thanks for making good music YC.
The tried and tested formula for playing this fantastic song. Step 1: Put your volume on the absolute highest it can be. Step 2: Start playing the song Step 3: Experience immediate extreme adrenaline rush. Step 4: Start swearing because the volume is still not loud enough for your taste. Step 5: Repeat the song 500 times Step 6: Say to self, "Okay, just once more" Step 7: Merrily continue to play it another 25 times. Step 8: Give Spotify the mid finger for not having it available. The above is the only way this song can be listened to efficiently.
It was always cool to me that this song is about what Peter is going through in the movie, even the title "gifts and curse" and the "my gift is a curse" line in a song is a reference to Peter's line at the end of the first movie. "This is my gift, it is my curse, who am I? I'm Spider-Man."
What a beautiful song. Really captures the themes and tone of the movie perfectly. Mary Jane being tired of waiting for Peter to admit his feelings so she settles for John Jameson, a guy she knows will be there for her. Peter being unable to admit his feelings out of fear of putting her in danger. The orange sunset aesthetic we so associate with Spider-Man because of these movies, how Ryan Key puts us in Spider-Man's shoes as he's gracefully swinging through the city and the sadness Peter feels making all these sacrifices. I miss when movies had meaningful soundtracks like this. Train's Ordinary, Dashboard Confessional's Vindicated and 3 Doors Down's Let Me Go. All of these songs capture the themes and tone of this movie expertly. They don't make em like they used to.
Mary belongs to the words of a song I try to be strong for her Try not to be wrong for her She will not wait for me anymore, anymore Why did I say all those things before I was sure She is the one But I have a purpose She is the one And I have to fight this She is the one The villain I can't knock down I see your face with every punch I take Every bone I break Its all for you And my worst pains are words I cannot say Still I will always fight on for you Mary's alive In the bright New York sky And the city lights shine for her And above them, I cry for her Every thing's small on the ground below, Down below What if I fall then Where would I go Would she know She is the one All that I wanted She is the one And I will be haunted She is the one This gift is my curse for now... I see your face with every punch I take And every bone I break Its all for you And my worst pains are words I cannot say Still I will always fight on for you I see your face with every punch I take And my worst pains are words I cannot say Still I will always fight on for you Fight on for you Fight on for you
Such a beautiful song! It perfectly describes and fits the Raimi Spider-Man trilogy: Honestly, identity, choice, sacrifice, dreams, power, responsibility, forgiveness, etc. This song has it all. Spotify doesn’t deserve this masterpiece!!
These would have to be my favorite songs from Spider-Man 2: 1. Who I Am 2. Vindicated 3. Meant to Live 4. Give it Up 5. Gifts & Curses 6. We Are 7. This Photograph is Proof (I Know You Know)
I just can't with this song....one of the most electrifying performances by yellow card and is truly a display of their great talent.... Unbelievable.... Gives me goodies Everytime.
The picture tells the story, with the music in the background. How I imagine it, is MaryJane, being attacked, by gangs, villains, but she is always saved by her protector, her saviour, who loves her. There is something beautiful and magical about it.
Started listening to YC in 2004, absolutely one of my favorite bands, and this song is at the top no question, and it's crazy that its not even included on one of their albums. It has everything, and for me its as close to a perfect song as I've heard.
[SPOILER] . . . . . . . . . . . . I think this song resonates with No Way Home (NWH) in a sense that both NWH and Spider-Man 2 highlighted the identity conflict of Peter Parker and Spider-Man. Spider-Man 2 showed us what happens when Peter Parker chose to be Peter Parker (in the end, he still became Spider-Man) but in NWH, Peter Parker chose to be Spider-Man (completely) after everything that happened. It is interesting what MCU Spider-Man 4 will show us after that decision. In both movies, we see a similar conflict and same themes making this song a good fit for NWH, also.
i had this CD at 5 years old and jammed this song so hard. i loved how it takes the perspective of Peter, it made me feel like Spider-Man. much love to Yellowcard 🫶🏼
Being involved with martial arts now and wanting (when the time is right) to find someone, this song as a stand-alone (no scenes synchronized to it) has a new feeling. Instead of seeing it as Peter doing so much for MJ, I think of what I’d do for my own MJ… and what I’ve done for he love of BJJ. Two very different loves
Can't believe I never heard this song before. Spider-Man 2 is one of my favourite movies but I don't know why I never checked the soundtrack album. It's fucking awesome.
I see your face when every punch I take And every bone I break I'ts all for you And my worst pain the words I cannot say Still I will always fight on for you.
This is the best song for a comic book movie and I can't think of any other song written for the genre that even comes close (though I confess to finding Venom by Eminen to be a guilty pleasure).
Damn I used to have this soundtrack signed by Ryan . My dad was Michael Myers for plant radio 93.3 in Jacksonville Florida and when they came to plush I was able to go on a tour bus and got the autograph don't have it no more unfortunately
Damm! I loved this album. It literally had every track that alternative rock lovers would've listened to, not to mention, Yellowcard, Train, Dashboard Confessional, Hoobastank, and others on this album were huge names in alternative rock at the time.
As great as 'Vindicated' is - and it's very very good - this is the best song on that soundtrack and maybe ever by Yellowcard. Should have been the song they lead with promoting the movie!
@@firdauszainudin7118 I am a Yellowcard megafan, I've heard all their stuff so much (minus the pre-Ryan Key stuff). My favorite song on WYTTSY is actually the B-Side 'Promises,' although thats a pretty good project for the entire runtime. Favorite on Paper Walls is definitely 'Date Line' for me, but 5becomes4 and B-Side 'Bombers' are other favorites. I'd say those two albums are roughly equal in quality. Southern Air (album) is better than both, I'd say.
Love the Baroque part in the middle. It's incredibly beautiful and easily my favourite part of the song. I bought the soundtrack recently just for this song. Damn Yellowcard for not putting this on streaming services!

Still here. Hard to believe it's been 20 years 🥺
Did not need that reality check 😂
It’s such a shame this ain’t on Spotify
Because Sony
@blaccap not even on amazon
Spotify sucks
It's almost impossible to buy this song in the original version, at least 10 years ago
Good thing on YT☺️
Studio: write a perfect Spider-Man song
YC: on it
Studio: make it unfindable
due to copyright unfortunately
Yellowcard didn't have to go this hard for a soundtrack song, but they did. They did it for us.
This song is hands down one of the best songs ever , let alone one of the best soundtrack songs that goes perfectly with the narrative of the movie .
Amazing interlude . So epic
Just saw them last weekend in LA. SO glad they're back together and touring again 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Agree!
Yes I confirm, this song by Yellowcard is one of my favorites from this group
No they didn't have too but so glad they did it's a banger for sure
“This is my gift….my curse, Who am I? I’m Spider-Man”
Love the reference to this in No Way Home from Green Goblin “These are not curses, they’re gifts.”
That’d be wild if they were referencing this song!
Why would he reference a song for the movie he wasn't even in XD apart from the very end.
@@hudsonlogie6520 They're not
The replay value of this song even after all these years is astronomical. I miss Yellowcard. By far my top 5 favorite song from them

Havent heard this since high school. I think this song triggered my mid life crisis
Would love if they played it live on this year tour
They're doing a reunion tour right now in case you haven't heard since they announced it last year during Riot Fest. It's to celebrate the anniversary of Ocean Avenue.

Those damn string instruments make me teary eyed
One of the 10 best Yellowcard songs of all time. Change my mind.
The best. No doubt
Top 3
@@EpicSwed yesssss
@@smokeythegoldfish 1. Awakening / 2. Promises / 3. Gifts and curses
@@ramiroreschia ^I respect that, that’s a real yellowcard fan 👏👏
2:26 That instrumental buildup piece is still one of my favorite parts. The violins, (cello too?) and piano are just divine.
CHILLS. Every time.
amen brother
Yes, cello too. Beautiful
Yes!!!!! This part awesome

I really miss Pop Punk Spider-Man.
I wish this was on spotify. 😢
Instrumental bridge gives me full body CHILLS every time

Hell yea, it’s cause the 2000’s was when music was at it’s very peak, and not so brain dead like it is now
Also I respect your pfp \m/
MJ sucks. Ursula listens to Pete, and makes him cookies.
MJ hooks up with everyone and makes food with Harry
Couldn’t have said it better myself ❤❤
Yellowcard really went this hard for spider man
Mary belongs to the words of a song
I try to be strong for her
Try not to be wrong for her
She will not wait for me anymore, anymore
Why did I say all those things before I was sure
She is the one
But I have a purpose
She is the one
And I have to fight this
She is the one
The villain I can't knock down
I see your face with every punch I take
Every bone I break
Its all for you
And my worst pains are words I cannot say
Still I will always fight on for you
Mary's alive
In the bright New York sky
And the city lights shine for her
And above them, I cry for her
Every thing's small on the ground below,
Down below
What if I fall then
Where would I go
Would she know
She is the one
All that I wanted
She is the one
And I will be haunted
She is the one
This gift is my curse for now...
I see your face with every punch I take
And every bone I break
Its all for you
And my worst pains are words I cannot say
Still I will always fight on for you
I see your face with every punch I take
And my worst pains are words I cannot say
Still I will always fight on for you
Fight on for you
Fight on for you

Spotify doesn’t deserve this masterpiece!!
It's not Spotify's fault. It's Sony's.
These would have to be my favorite songs from Spider-Man 2:
1. Who I Am
2. Vindicated
3. Meant to Live
4. Give it Up
5. Gifts & Curses
6. We Are
7. This Photograph is Proof (I Know You Know)
Listen to Atlantis The Night That The Lights Went Out in NYC
It's also part of the soundtrack
So basically the entire CD 🙂
I dont know about taking back sunday was in this cd
I guess it could be considered a guilty pleasure now, but I’ve always really loved that lostprophets song.
@@K.Mushhi_ no doubt, great soundtrack
Makes me feel 14 again lol
Listened to this song all the time when I was a kid!
So good to hear it is still around! Epic song, epic movie, epic band!
I routinely listen to it on at least a weekly basis
Can't believe this is almost 20 years old now... this is perfect
I just can't with this song....one of the most electrifying performances by yellow card and is truly a display of their great talent.... Unbelievable.... Gives me goodies Everytime.
If anybody goes to see them on their 2024 Summer Gods Tour with Third Eye Blind, get their VIP! They play this. You're welcome
That is my favorite song from Spider-Man 2 Soundtrack & I'm gonna keep it as a souvenir. 🙂
ユニバーサルスタジオジャパンのスパイダーマンのお土産屋さんで流れていて好きになりました。イエローカードもスパイダーマンも好きなのでとても嬉しいです。 日本より愛を込めて
One of my favorite all time songs. Drums-awesome, vocals-awesome, guitar-awesome, violins-awesome, bass-awesome.
True OST for Spidey, been listening since 2004
One of the best song from 2000s
The picture tells the story, with the music in the background. How I imagine it, is MaryJane, being attacked, by gangs, villains, but she is always saved by her protector, her saviour, who loves her. There is something beautiful and magical about it.
WITH GREAT POWER COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY… even it mean giving up the we want the most

It's included on the Limited Edition of Lights And Sounds
@@chris8669 I did not know that, thank you for the info. Makes sense since I just bought the standard edition.
@@chris8669 Thanks for the info, that was completely under my radar. Loved L&S but didn't but that version. Glad it got out there more than I thought.
This is among my top 10, maybe 5 songs ever recorded. I'm so glad more and more people are looking for it because of No Way Home.

I think this song resonates with No Way Home (NWH) in a sense that both NWH and Spider-Man 2 highlighted the identity conflict of Peter Parker and Spider-Man.

It was in No Way Home?
@@jaguarchampion I wish, but Spider-Man is back in the limelight with how big NWH has been proving to be.
I hope someone makes a fan-made music video using this song and clips from No Way Home.
And in No Way Home we hear "These are not curses, they're gifts"
I've never heard so much feeling in a song, I'm sure no band or artist will do something like that.
Man I really wish I had a time machine and go back to this time and stay there forever.
Welcome to the MCU Tobey ❤️
I thought it was only me who was sad that this song wasn't on Spotify
But I'm glad there are many in the comments section
i had this CD at 5 years old and jammed this song so hard. i loved how it takes the perspective of Peter, it made me feel like Spider-Man. much love to Yellowcard 🫶🏼
You searched for this. Legend.
Hoping they play this on tour this summer!
I really like that the lyrics speak accurately of what's in Peter's mind, moreover when he's fighting
Theres just somethin about this song. Fucking hell.
Being involved with martial arts now and wanting (when the time is right) to find someone, this song as a stand-alone (no scenes synchronized to it) has a new feeling. Instead of seeing it as Peter doing so much for MJ, I think of what I’d do for my own MJ… and what I’ve done for he love of BJJ. Two very different loves
I wish this is the main soundtrack not Vindicated. Although Vindicated is a nice song, but this one captures more.
Agreeeeeed!
this is wedding song worthy
This song is why my ipod can never die
One of my fav Yellowcard song.. This song is such a masterpiece..
The breakdown on this song is amazing..I absolutely love it
That instrumental break is still just as good as it was on my portable cd player.
Can't believe I never heard this song before. Spider-Man 2 is one of my favourite movies but I don't know why I never checked the soundtrack album. It's fucking awesome.
They should use this song for another Spider-Man movie
Me too, I prefer first spider man.
@@とまと-x6z yes
This song never gets old. It just gets more beautiful
Fuck no lol
I see your face when every punch I take
And every bone I break I'ts all for you
And my worst pain the words
I cannot say
Still I will always fight on for you.
Right on!!!
middle school me is listening to this full soundtrack on repeat ❤maybe I still have the cd😂
This has been my favourite yellowcard song for 17 years since it came out in 2004, back when I would have been 14!!
If someone were to ask me what song has the best instrumental segment ever, I’d immediately tell them this song
This is the best song on the soundtrack by far perfectly captures the themes of the movie
I'm searching this song for about 10 years, and I figure out just less than a minutes ago. Thanks.
I bought this cd on a trip to Michigan after watching the film and replayed it the whole trip! Gotta love nostalgia!
I love that I own this soundtrack it holds dear to my heart and it was so good to see TM in NWH ❤❤
I love the piano and violin. Most people didn't like this much as I did as a teen.
This is the best song for a comic book movie and I can't think of any other song written for the genre that even comes close (though I confess to finding Venom by Eminen to be a guilty pleasure).
You're right.
My face yellowcard jam! 2021
This song is a musical masterpiece that will resonate within the hearts of many for many years to come. My eyes still water 20 years later…..
best song on the best movie soundtrack of all time
Either this, or "Woman."
I love this ❤! One of greatest soundtrack songs of the 2000's
Should have been a single for the soundtrack. It's a worthy single behind Dashboard Confessional's Vindicated.
Damn I used to have this soundtrack signed by Ryan . My dad was Michael Myers for plant radio 93.3 in Jacksonville Florida and when they came to plush I was able to go on a tour bus and got the autograph don't have it no more unfortunately
This is one of my all time favorites.

I remember Ryan Key, Yellowcard’s singer being really upset Vindicated was chosen as the credits song instead of Gifts and Curses. Understandably so!
Agreed!
I listened to this all of 2004 when she broke my heart.
Fantastic song, easy top 5 yellowcard for me
Which just for shits and giggles would probably be 1. Gifts and Curses 2.Holly Wood Died 3.Sleep in the Snow 4. Rest in Peace 5.Rough Draft
You need to explore more into When You' Through Thinking Say Yes album & Paperwall then. Maybe Southern Air too.

Incrível essa música passa uma energia muito boa✌🏼✌🏼
Gratefully I've got this CD album!😅😂
This song is a masterpiece
"I see your face in every betch I take."
Beautiful.

Just saw Yellowcard in Jacksonville a month ago and wished they played this song
Just saw the yesterday with 3EB on the Summer Gods tour.
Yellow Card rocks!!!!!
This is the song that actually introduced me to Yellowcard
2024 anyone?
Yes
