LYRICS
It was a young and angry summer
A song that changed my mind
I heard it on the radio
And if everyone else heard this
They wouldn't be so sad
It was the best I ever had
It was the best I ever had
I remember April '94
September '96
And every day of '99 (all of '99)
Whether I waited for those records
Or helped Seattle cry
It was the best I ever had
And I know we'll never die
Yeah we were right about it
We'd be lost without it
Yeah what could ever take that?
I miss it too
And I miss the songs we knew
And if I could go back
I'd do it all again
It was the best I ever had
While the world was waking up and
Putting on their suits
I was planning my escape
And when I had that conversation
With my mom and dad
I said I'm never looking back
It was the best I ever had
And they were wrong about us
We showed them not to doubt us
Yeah what could ever take that?
I miss it too
And I miss the songs we knew
And if I could go back
I'd do it all again
It was the best I ever had
I'd do it all again
I've been everywhere now
Searching far and wide
But she was down the street
She looked just like an angel
Flying down to me
But I was underground
Where the devil comes to feed
And everything felt so right
I could show it to do wrong
But she taught me everything
And I don't know where she is now
But I'll never forget
She was the best I ever had
Or ever will again
The best I ever had
And if everyone else heard this
They wouldn't be so sad
It was the best I ever had - เพลง

Goodbye, guys. You were the best we ever had.
What happened to them?
@@nightwing5405 They broke up!
@@Mikhos any idea why?
@@nightwing5405 They weren't making any money and some of the members got opportunities to move up in the companies they were working for while in the band. They got shafted by the record labels too. Fueled by Ramen never really promoted them.
I hope they make a comeback❤
Thumbs up if you love The Swellers' new album!
Its one of the only songs that is a real tear jerker."I've been everywhere now, searching far and wide but she was down the street...She was the best I ever had or ever will again." It brings back so many nostalgic memories. It pretty much sums up the genre of pop punk.
well put . well put
It's a real shame hardly anyone knew of this band, they could of went on to achieve so much more.
Michael Crosby this song comes up on my spotify mixes sometimes
At least they Rock! How many can do that?
16 years of underground music and one of the most memorable moments of all this years was the fact that I got to see this guys here in Brazil playing with Story of The Year.
What a awesome day holy fuck!
@@Giofergom that’s fucking rad bro
@@fatcatscanroar indeed! It was cold as fuck and the event was poorly promoted, I think there was about 50 people that day. Super intimate show but it was fire AF
No hay mejor regalo que el soundtrack de mi adolescencia estén estos muchachos, se los extraña mucho chicos
This song will always hit me like I heard it for the first time.
This band is truly timeless.
They need to go comeback! Well miss it❤
This hit me right in my central feels system.
Anyone else feeling nostalgic as fuck right now?
2020, still one of my fav songs ever!
Still one of my fav so far in 2021 😆

2023 and it still hits.

:(
They were the best we ever had... So sad when I heard the news...
They better be coming to New York cause I've only gotten into them in the past year and haven't had the chance to see them yet.
tjisatotalsellout Be glad you live in the US. I live in the Netherlands... I probably never get the chance to see them live again.
tjisatotalsellout you can always take a train/plane or drive to wherever they decide to tour :)
I wondered how a band this good could go unnoticed by so many. Then I remembered 99% of the world is brainless. Long live The Swellers!

This band means so much to me... I really feel priviliged I got to see them 3 times in Belgium. Such a fucking perfect band!
@@Karaoke_em_HDut it's horrible quality. Hurts to listen to with the cheap ai devocalizer tool you used
They broke up sadly. it was the best we ever had!
Wish nick would start another band when he’s not making pedals
After all the years, no matter where I am , when I hear this song, I get full body chill bumps. 🤍🙏🏼
*Cries in punk rock* Why haven't I heard THIS song???
@@ec1517 to be fair, this is melodic punk
@SelfAbsorbedPenguin he does. He gave me a pm saying he felt as manly as Donald Trump after typing that
IT WAS A YOUNG AN ANGRY SUMMER, A SONG THAT CHANGED MY MIND, I HEARD IT ON THE RADIO ..
IT WAS THIS SONG
Finally A song that has a 90's feel
2019 needs more music like this
2020 as well :(
@@TheBlackjack182 2021 too :(
@@craftinglies5528 I was about to say that
You mean our whole timeline ye
@@jso8556 check out hot mulligan
Every swellers video thumbnail is just Nick’s open mouth. It’s perfect.

This song still makes me cry no matter how times I listen. I’ve buried an endless amount of memories of a couple women from my past that just bring me pain now, but this song has helped bring them to the surface in such a beautiful way. I sincerely can’t put into words how cathartic this all is. It honestly illicits so many emotions I can’t put into words how much it resonates with me.
I love and miss this band so much
May Nick and the boys bless us with a revival tour of the swellers..
"NO ONE COULD EVER TAKE THAT!!!"
Can totally say I'm now a fan of The Swellers. Meeting them after a gig was pretty sweet too :D My friend was pressured into buying a t-shirt, it was hilarious.
Their legacy will live on
Found this band because of my guitar instructor showed me this song and said, "You wanna learn it?" I said "Freak yeah!" best song I ever learned and still love playing it!
Can you teach me it please
Michigan loves you, and always will!
I'm so addicted to this music right now! It came back from nowhere with nostalgia and joy
"And if everyone else heard this, it wouldn't be so sad. It was the best I ever had." - The Swellers, May 24, 2011.
It's almost like they knew their end was coming soon, and I'm proud of them for making the best of it! After discovering The Swellers in late 2014 and through them, No Use for a Name, I'm convinced that good punk rock and disappointment go hand in hand. Rip The Swellers and Tony Sly.

I think so, just read jono's article on vice last night. Made me more sad
Still not over this song 💖😭🙌🏻
I remember April 94, September 96 and every day of 99.... BEST LINE
These songs helped me out a lot.
the best I ever heard
this song is so Addicting!!!
The Swellers are the best we'll ever have.
It's probably impossible to not like these guys. Those who say they do are living a lie, methinks.
This is like the emo 2000’s version of “Summer of ‘69” lol
CHOO CHOO!! all aboard the nostalgia train!
Its been 6 years since first time i heard this song, good old days
IT WAS A YAWN YET ENGLISH SUMMER, I SAW YET CHANGE MY MIND. HE HIT IT ON THE RADIO. AND FAVORITE ONE ON SURFACE, IT WOULD BE SO DEAD, IT WAS THE BEST I EVER READ.
I got to see them live a couple of years ago. they're so nice and can really put on a show. wish they were still a band. they're so awesome and needed to more credit than they desered.
Una de mis bandas Favorita da tristesa que se separen. Siempre los recordare como una grandiosa Banda.
Colombia/24.5.15
Wow my band used to play with these guys at local shows around Detroit. They used to always be at the local shows we'd play at or go to. This is the first i've heard of them in forever this is insane that they actually made it. Awesome.
one of the best punk song I have ever heard !!!!
Damn, forgot all about this song!
First time im hearing these guys and now i find out theyre breaking up. Its like 2005 all over again when i heard dude ranch for the first time...
PANIC and PARAMORE BROUGHT ME HERE
Just finding these guys now in 2024 😢 started following Nick’s pedal company and bought one of his pedals, found out he produced early Hot Mulligan, and traced it farther back to The Swellers. Wow. So good!!
Rediscovered 2019 🙌🏻
2020 🙌🏻
MOST PERFECT SONG EVER.
The Swellers are soooo under rated, and sooooo amazing. They deserve more recognition than they deserve.
seriously, I love this song and band. they got NOTHING close to the recognition that they deserve. Keep creating music. This is what its all about.
Well, this was a great band. I'm so sad to see them go. I just discovered them recently too :(
They play again! ; )
This never gets any less nostalgic. I always get this song ready for summer, and in AZ, it means 3 months sooner than most states xP
Just saw them a last night in Dallas it was awesome had a pretty good convo with them. But the best part is that one of their friends went on stage and proposed to his girlfriend. She said yes and it was really touching I hope they have a long and happy Marriage
found this song last year and it has been on my mind ever since
the best Fueled By Ramen ever had......
Ugh Nick Diener's voice is so smooth
DUDE this is my THEME SONG NOW!!!!!!!!!
Swellers!!! SWELLERS!!!! SWELLERS!!!!!
They were sooo great the other day!! Must go see them everyone
Buddy from senses fail brought me here , pretty good I like the smooth sound the band has.
2020, still raging to this song on repeat.
NGL this song is gunna be the anthem for my summer!!!
a friend stumbled upon you guys while we were skyping last night around 3 in the morning... heard the first verse and chorus of this song and immediately went to itunes and downloaded this album. you guys are insanely good, and this song brings back wonderful memories... thank you.
DAMN why'd i find about them so late :((
Good drummer
GREAT BAND!!! A hug from Italy!
OMG his T-shirt.!!!!!! I LOVE THIS BAND,
Whoever produced this is a legend. Such a solid mix!!
Bill Stevenson from Descendents
i just had to watch this, my teacher used to play bass for them when they were starting out, it's so weird to imagine him jamming out if he still stayed.
Pure nostalgia!
I love how simple they are.
Wow that film trailer gave me goosebumps!
I went to school with some of these guys. Love them! :)
Stephanie Fuse old bassist was my teacher. So crazy
my teacher told me about this song
Forzuhs you have a great teacher
I talked to Johnathan before, he's one of the coolest and most genuine people I've ever talked to. I miss The Swellers. They're way too underrated, and they could've transformed music if they stayed together. It's makes me sad that they stopped because their manager was bad at his job. RIP The Swellers, you were the best I ever had
This band really deserves the attention. They fucking rock!
i just met their drummer(Jonathan). awesome dude! and super nice. we talked about warped and his other band BraidedVeins check them out.
Defend Pop Punk
Ethan baker
fuck off.
as long as bands like this pop up every few years, the world may not end after all.
I can't stop listening to this
A guy from DPPG told me to look up this band and I am impressed. I hate that I'm impressed though cause from what I'm seeing here, they've broken up.
Also, quick question: will I eventually unhear the lisp?
You're welcome xD
all i can hear is that typical pop punk-emo-melodic hardcore lead singer accent. check out the acoustic version of this and see if you can hear it there too lmao
tyler posey brought me here
Same :D
same
same
1990, life was easy because I was a kid. I could go outside and not have to worry about things like bills and jobs and homework. This is an anthem!
Man I still love this fucking song. Being a ‘96 born kid, 23 now with a single mother who’s father passed away when they were 6, when he said “every day of ‘99”, I absolutely felt that. This song gets me nostalgic as fuck for those last years of the 90’s and all those years growing up into the 2000’s. Don’t think I’d be where I am without this song, it’ll always be playing in the back of my head.
I used to think if a band is on Fueled by Ramen and they aren't Paramore they probably suck... And then there was The Swellers!
Whoa there, we talking current FBR or all time? Cuz Yellowcard, Slick Shoes, Jimmy Eat World and Less than Jake were all on it at one point in time too.
dtice Don’t forget All Time Low
i just watched this video 94792847592 times. awesome song
I know the band when you guys came to Singapore with Paramore many years back. Been listening to you all ever since and your songs accompanied me thruout my adulthood, its not easy 😔. Still not easy..
Classic
I have been looking for a band for YEARS that has that same sound as 90's punk. I have finally found them. Thank God, thank God....
how cute makes me think of my life ;3 love the swellers
paramore brought me here
that's how someones face should look when they sing. like their putting a lot of emotion in it :)
Lyrics right in the feels.
HOW GOOD IS THIS SONG OMG
Four or five years ago these guys came to Madera, CA to play a show for free with small instruments. They signed my poster and complimented my diy Descendents beanie. I like to think they remember.
just started listening to these guys... my life is now swell.
Wow, first time I heard this. It me back to the days of Drive-Thru, with the likes of Allister, Day at the Fair... Love where these guys are going.
74 people's eyes and ears are swollen and cannot witness the awesomeness here!
Brings back memories of my child hood =)
Best new music in a long time
I miss these guys so much.
Daily listen
