I feel like the 25-30 crisis is the new midlife crisis. We hold such high expectations over ourselves - To be so successful, as soon as possible; to have everything figured out; to have a perfect relationship, a great career and a large group of close friends, and be able to manage all of that in the same time, while getting 8hour sleep and hitting the gym early in the morning; to being mature and always so put together; to always looking sharp; to always knowing what we want at all times - and that is just so overwhelming. I often miss times when I just enjoyed moments and feel like those were the highlights of my life. This is a great song! Such relatable feelings for our generation!
Yes life has not been how I expected it to be. I'm concentrating on career(getting money), Travelling with or without friends, and Partying. Those are my main key points for my 20s.
It's insane how everything she writes is so personal to her, yet resonates with so many people. It's the definition of "you're not alone". Somebody else, so many other people, feel this way, too. It's sad, but also comforting.
its just so sad how underrated alessia is… she isn’t getting the recognition she deserves! lyricism, humbleness, quality & artistry!! this woman is timeless i swear.. love her so much!
Alessia cara is A amazingly talented L Loving to all E Extraordinary just the way she is S speaks truth S someone special I Incredible A awesome C caring A authentic R real A Always feels what we feel
I feel like this realization really hits you once you become a young adult. You suddenly realize your childhood is behind you and your teen years are over and there is no turning back. You canʼt relive it, you only have the memories left that you go back to once in a while when adult life feels too overhwhelming. You feel like an adult child because youʼll never be this young again but itʼs also the first time youʼve been this old. And itʼs all so confusing and time never really lets you breathe really. The anxiety and stress that come along with this epiphany are crushing. As the line in the song says, "What if everything else stays the same for my whole life", I think that is what I fear the most as well.
She is the only ONLY artist who can manage to convey such SADNESS RAWNESS AND REALITY in lyrics like this, when a song leaves you thinking, overthinking, crying THAT'S when you know she is 1) AMAZING REAL ARTIST 2) CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED.
I’m literally crying right now! For several reasons. This song really hits close to home because I often think about all the good moments in my life and how it may never be as good as it was? 💔
You will get throw this and no matter how old are you. You have a short life to live so don't waste your time waiting for the best days when you can make them. I hope you have a great future I mean I hope your future is your best days 🤍🤍
I don’t think people understand how much of a gift Alessia’s music is to the world. People need to wake up quick and give her her flowers while she’s still here.
@@diogosantos8402 Na letra ela está falando sobre o tempo estar passando e ela assistindo. É um pouco assustador, sentir que ela não viveu tão intensamente.
Its sad that the music industry can make literally anybody popular and then are are genuinely clever singers and songwriters like her, who are left underrated and under appreciated. :_(

I can’t help but feel this song so deep in my heart. I recently moved out and I’m just trying to get my bearings on life, and a main question I’ve had is “what if it never gets better?” Like, what if my climax is over? This song is absolutely stunning. Every aspect of it. Wow.
Your happiness and sadness depends on your state of mind and the state is acquired by the thoughts or the way you thinks bro just long for positive thinks u would be happy. Cheers bro
This really resonates with me right now. I’m currently 21 and I am so terrified about my future. I see all of my childhood friends move on and graduate college and make new friends and whatever while I struggle with accepting the fact I’m an adult. I miss the good old days when I felt love and felt as if the world cared for me just a bit more. Being an adult is so hard. 🎈
I'm 2o years old and i feel the same way. My friends going to college while i'm just trying to understand who i am and to figure out what and who i want to be, i feel so lost
Aww bless your heart. I’m 16 and worried about my future as well. I’m sure it’s much harder at 21 though. I’m sure it will all work out, my friend. Just follow your heart and walk life with love and kindness and I’ve found so far in life, that’s what will get you through to the brighter times. Lots of love to you ❤️
This song was released shortly before my mom passed and it has been the only song to get me through rough days ❤️
3 ปีที่แล้ว +344
album 1 - seventeen album 2 - growing pains now the album 3 - best days literally she marks her youth path through her music with her totally own true experiences, also got us feeling just like the same. that makes her one of my faves! this album is fun but also deep, insteresting but also soothing and visually perfect. i claim it's her best so far!!!
I just lost both of my parent. Mama on 18/9 & Dad follow by 10 days later 28/9 due to covid. Its the most heartbreak I've received before my 27th birthday this 9th Oct. I've lost my angels that took care of me. Listening to this song, crying it all out "but the hardest pill to swallow is the meantime." No words. Thank you for this Ms Alessia Cara.
this song is exactly what I'm feeling, everyday, every single second, not being able to move forward and feeling shallow and sad because of what I've lost, trying to move forward, possibly forcing myself but feels like there's no hope and being stuck with the mean days, it's a realisation of growing up that not everything is unicorn and rainbows and this is hardest lesson I've learned at the age of 18
It gets worse once you're in your 20's, like what the very first line of the song talks about. If you're still in your late teens, enjoy it while it lasts. I'm 26, and I actually look back at my late teens with certain amounts of nostalgia (and regret, for that matter, but that's a whole other story). I know this comment is almost a year old, but I just wanted to share, anyways.
Totally me... I'm 24 and I feel I'm totally stuck in life and that I can't move forward and I see days, weeks and even years pass by and I feel I can't do anything
With covid-19 & the global pandemic, this song really resonates with me. I feel like my 20s are going by. No matter what time point I face in my life, Alessia brings forth raw authentic emotions that really connect with me and the feelings that I am facing.
@@skyhighseadeep_ i know. i just appreciate her for not doing that since almost everyone in the industry is changing becoming that way at just 18/19 years old or somewhat like billie eilish :')
@@yavuzmarifet4528 dua lipa, halsey, little bit of sia… they’re way too similar in inflection and general song writing… no reason to have that many of the same sound in the main stream
Alessia has this amazing talent where she can turn her experiences into songs that others can also relate to in some sort of way. I’m always blown away by her lyricism 🧡 We’re so blessed to be alive at the same time as her!
Alessia Cara - Best Days Lyrics So much harder to be honest With yourself at twenty-something Wish I knew what I'm becoming And felt the ground while I was on it Hoping, waiting on a moment Not knowing if it's coming or it's going What if my best days are the days I've left behind? And what if the rest stays the same for all my life? I'm running with my eyes closed, so it goes You live and then you die But the hardest pill to swallow is the meantime All the best days is the ones that we survive Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (Ah, ah) Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh If I had known to feel the firе (Fire) I would've thrown my arms up higher (Highеr) Would've held on a little tighter 'Cause you don't know a thing you miss 'til it's behind you What if my best days are the days I've left behind? And what if the rest stays the same for all my life? I'm running with my eyes closed, so it goes You live and then you die But the hardest pill to swallow is the meantime All the best days is the ones that we survive Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (Ah, ah) Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh What if my best days are the days I've left behind? And what if the rest stays the same for all my life?
The beginning when Alessia closes the door. . . The mood drops and I got a sense of familiarity of when I leave friend's house or they leave mine, and I just feel SO alone in that moment, I cry so much and I don't even know why
First time this dropped I was 17. I remember listening to it with the album when it released. I am 20 now. Just turned at the beginning of January and stumbled on this. A week ago, to this post is when I turned. Felt like a new song when the memories started coming back. I related to the song quite a lot at that age. Now too, less somber compared to back then. Alot i didn't think would change did change. Hopefully when I stumble onto this after you forget, you'll be having an experience like this. This is my check point in time.
As a young teen her music always resonated with me and always will. I wish the music industry didn’t leave her in the dust but then again an award or title doesn’t define who you are but I just wish her work would be recognized more because it’s so genuine and authentic and resonates with people all over the world.
Wow this speaks to me on a whole other level. I didn't even know I felt this way until I heard this song. She verbalized a feeling that I had for a while now. Thank you ALessia
I know it may be hard guys but dont lose hope, everything will get better❤ I believe in you, You will get through this! Remember you are an amazing person even though it may not be clear right now. I see your beauty, trust me♡ If you need somebody to talk with, I'm here for you♡❤❤
The very noticeable thing in alessia's song is that she writes her song in the prospective of the listener and every emotion in very line it relates to listener's life . Love you alessia ❤❤😘
i swear this is alessia's best album, the production, the lyrics, the concept, just everything, i'm over the moon with this record, THANK U ALESSIA. AGAIN.
Can we please give her the grammy now? I mean seriously this album is a masterpiece. The concept the rawness the lyrics!! How relatable and UNIQUE each song is!!!
Seriously Alessia Cara is one of the best singers in our generation! She has these songs that make you feel these feelings of sadness but beauty, Really can make you respect the song. I will forever be a fan xoxo
I turn 30 in Feb and I'm looking forward to it! My life has been so hard for so long and I fee like its FINALLY becoming mine to enjoy. Yes sometimes I waste a day doing nothing or I spend a bit too much on ASOS or something but I am living it for me. If I died tomorrow my only regret would be not doing it sooner. If you live to 70 and you are almost 30, you still have more life in front of you than you have ever lived, of course life will change, sometimes it will be shit and sometimes it will be amazing. If you aren't happy do something about it!
En mi mundo me creía solo por tener ese pensamiento sobre Alessia Cara, pero veo que tu también tienes ese pensamiento. Ella tan humilde, sincera, y todas sus canciones son extraídas desde el corazón! Soy un Alessia Cara Lover! y no me he de morir sin estar en algún concierto de ella!! lo juro por el cielo el mar y la tierra :)
The background of chorus is the video of her live concert. Shes like looking at those incredible moments and singing "What if my best days are the days I’ve left behind" again and again. And then I just cant stop crying
I was not expecting to cry so early into the song…this really hit me and spoke volumes of how me and probably many others are feeling. So thank you Alessia! Thank you! 💗🥺🥲 you and your songs are a huge piece of sunshine to my life…and I hope you know that you are so loved and inspiring! Thank you❤️
her music, the way she writes, she is a person with an overwhelming amount of awareness- of self, of her surroundings, of life. and it shows beautifully in her music. i just love it.
I'll one day listen to this song and smile about the best days I've had, I will make more. I will look back at them and not wish to actually go back But smile because they happened. They shaped me into the person I am today. I am excited for more best days to come! 😘xxx
Alessia has the kind of music that makes me shiver (in a good way). She brings an incredible comfort and warmth to me. Like a familiar feeling. Maybe we can call it nostalgia. Thanks to Alessia I have rediscovered my vocal talents and am venturing into R&B pop and pop soul. I love you and thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Living in the worlds longest lockdown from Covid aka Melbourne Australia has mental killed me. I graduated high school in 2019 which was the most happy I’ve ever been in my life. The friends and memories I’ll never forget. The past two years I’ve always wondered if I will ever reach that type of happiness again. This song really hits me deep, thank u Alessia
I get so related to u I finishd high school in 2020 whitout see my friends or my teaches cuz of the pandemic, it feels like those were my happiest days and know that is over I just feel empyt and hopeless
Hey we're gonna get through this together. there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Australia is gonna get through this. Keep your spirit high, right mate?
I think the most important thing to know is that you aren't alone. Sometimes we should just walk into life and let it surprise us. Stop trying to control it. All the best💜
Realmente no sé cómo expresar lo que siento,siento una artista que transmite mucho de su persona, muy sincera, bondadosa,humilde que da lo mejor para la gente que la apoya,es una artista realmente buena,admiro mucho su trabajo, Alessia se merece lo mejor.
WeNo siempRe estoy al pendiente del trabajo de Alessia(porque es una de mis artistas favoritas),de todas formas ya había escuchado "Querer Mejor" Desde su estreno en mayo de el 2019
I’m 27 and this song hit hard. Memories of all the little things from when we were little, emotions that are good and bad, everything just flying through my mind. Another excellent and well put together masterpiece. Well done…
No words...this song struck such a chord in my heart with its meaningful and somber lyrics. You are a true artist and a unique gem Alessia and the world needs more people like you. You are beautiful inside and out
I've been listening to this song everyday since its been out because I relate to it so much....For the past few years I've been feeling like my best days are all in my past and it scares me so much to think that how my life is going right now is how it's gonna be for the rest of my life. Thank you Alessia Cara for creating this master piece of a song....Your talent is way too underrated .
this song is genuinely so good like when she says "if i'd known to fuel the fire, i would've thrown my hands up higher" just makes me think like what if you don't live your best days to the fullest and your life was just so worthless. im scared to grow up love u alessia
I know it may be hard guys but dont lose hope, everything will get better❤ I believe in you, You will get through this! Remember you are an amazing person even though it may not be clear right now. I see your beauty, trust me♡ If you need somebody to talk with, I'm here for you♡❤❤
I feel the same way as you:( but We have to keep going forward, having hope. Everything will be fine♡ Growing up is something that we can't control, but we can enjoy ♡ I send you all my love friend God bless ❤
I have no words to describe how amazing this is, mainly because of the way you handled the situation and turned everything into ART. You are wonderful , your work is wonderful and i hope you know it .
couldn't watch it till the end... i'm through the exact same thoughts. feels like my best days are so far away, everything has been so foggy. thank you for being that honest and open up. 🧡💙
I listened to this once, speechless, feeling as if I wrote every single word of it. I listened to it twice, sobbing. I feel like my life can't go back as happy as it was before. Everything feels so different than before and now every day stays the same, without feeling new and peaceful. I feel like I can't find the sparkle I used to have and it's that unbearable meantime. I totally feel this song and I honestly don't know what to do. Thank you Alessia for making me feel less alone in these thoughts and emotions. Ps : the part where you run and fly is really what I wish I could do : fly away from my own and find freedom and peace
Since I know this feeling, here is what I do to cope: I try to get out of my comfort zone. It maybe won't make sense at first. We like to hold on to every piece of safe space that we can get when we feel like we are unheard. But by doing something outside the comfort zone I am forcing myself to go new ways, meet new people and gain inspiration. Only by doing this I can pave the way for a paradigm shift. Getting out of the comfort zone can be trying a new hobby, joining a club, travel somewhere alone (doesn't need to be far) or bigger life changes of course. I truly think this is the recipe to a happy life and that we have episodes within our lifetime. When the episodes get too repetitive and comfortable its time for a new season with a change of some characters in the cast and maybe even a new set. I send you all the support for working through those thoughts and feelings, and am certain that you will make it out at the other end with a peaceful heart and big smile on your face 🤗
@@cesskin7979 wow that's the sweetest message, thank you so much. I honestly feel better when I go to places I haven't discovered yet and when I cook new recipes. Thank you for taking the time to write all this, it means a lot ✨
Oh my literal God. This is the most beautiful and meaningful song I think I may have ever heard. This song will truly be held near and dear to my heart because I just might cry with how relatable this song is! Im so glad you’re own this earth sharing your art with all of us and being able to do beautifully convey the inner fears and insecurities we all experience. You deserve every thing and more love. You truly are a beautiful soul. No Jessie McCartney.
I don’t know how, but Alessia always seems to know how I’m feeling. This feeling of not knowing where you’re headed, or even which direction you should go in. It feels like you’re stuck in a maze. You’ll walk around, feel hopeless and than just run into dead ends but you’ll have to remind yourself there is a way out. Eventually you’ll find a way that brings you onward a little while but you don’t even consciously realise that because you’re still hopeless and thinking you’ll never find a way out. And that probably continues until you walk out of the maze eventually
Andy Bernard once said "i wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them. Someone should write a song about it." And she did write a song about it😭😭😭❤❤❤
In ten years, if I don’t think of the years I am living in as “the good old years” or “the best days” then my life must be unimaginably happy in comparison. It’s so sad to be so happy and then realize that it will never last. All I can do now is make sure I remember all of it, and live my life to the fullest so I have as many memories of “the best days” as I can before they’re over. 😢😢😢
My favorite song off the album so far. So beautiful that I almost cried watching this 🥺 I relate to these lyrics 1000%. Congratulations on the album, Alessia! Much love from Brazil 💙🧡💙🧡
This song made me cry & feel so many emotions wow. Life really is the most magical, craziest, exciting, painful, loving journey. I pray that you all are healthy, surrounded by loved ones and living each day to the fullest. I claim this energy
I have less than two years left of being in my 20s. I genuinely feel like the best days are behind me. It seems like I will never again feel as intensely about things and people as I did when I was younger. Thus, there's that continuous societal reminder that you no longer matter after you cease to be young.
I know it may be hard guys but dont lose hope, everything will get better❤ I believe in you, You will get through this! Remember you are an amazing person even though it may not be clear right now. I see your beauty, trust me♡ If you need somebody to talk with, I'm here for you♡❤❤
It's the most beautiful song I've ever heard in my life! There are a bunch of artists interested only in success... Who use a lot of swear words and vulgarity in the songs just to be the most listened to singer... ALESSIA, ON THE OTHER HAND, HAS REAL TALENT AND YOU CAN SEE... AND THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING! ❤️
I love Alessia Cara. Her lyrics always have so much depth. She is a true artist that makes you feel something through her art. This song is beautiful! ❤❤❤
Do you just stop and truly listen to the lyrics of a song and think God this is so me? I’m 60 years old and I think this very thing a lot of the times this girl is so amazing I hope you keep going Alessia Cara because you are indeed special and talented!
so happy I'm the type of person that keeps up with artists music even if they aren't mainstream at the moment..because I got to hear this gem of a song. she is so talented and her lyrics are real. so many of us struggle with this feeling at some point.
This song really resonates with me, having finished high school and started the rest of my life...only 4 months in. Those questions sound so familiar...a really good song and a perfect video to match 🥺
First time hearing this.Tears have me dedicating this to my son. I miss you beyond measure. 2/2/95 - 8/13/21 Fly high, your free from all your fears pressure and sadness 🕊️💙 Beautifully sad real song 🙏

@Z A uhm no? scars to your beautiful, for example, saved so many lives, so that you know. music is so powerful if well made.
@Z A she has songs about suicide prevention, awareness and body positivity i think those probably had an impact tho
Label is mismanaging her career
@Z A It may change someone's world.....you never know!
@Z A if it helped change one person’s life, then yes, it changed the world in a meaningful way. The world is how it’s experienced!
She deserves the world man. Her music is so underrated.

There's nothing wrong with people who express their sexuality through their music….and I love Alessia but just because she chooses not to do that (which is also great) it doesn't make her better than anyone else. Lifting others by talking down on other people isn't very productive.
I can’t help but feel this song so deep in my heart. I recently moved out and I’m just trying to get my bearings on life, and a main question I’ve had is “what if it never gets better?” Like, what if my climax is over?

I miss the good old days when I felt love and felt as if the world cared for me just a bit more. Being an adult is so hard. 🎈
I’m 20 and I feel the exact same way
I felt the same way over 40 years ago.....friends moving on etc....didn't know where I was going..it's hard...but you'll find your way! I promise!

Aww bless your heart. I’m 16 and worried about my future as well. I’m sure it’s much harder at 21 though. I’m sure it will all work out, my friend. Just follow your heart and walk life with love and kindness and I’ve found so far in life, that’s what will get you through to the brighter times. Lots of love to you ❤️

I just lost both of my parent. Mama on 18/9 & Dad follow by 10 days later 28/9 due to covid. Its the most heartbreak I've received before my 27th birthday this 9th Oct. I've lost my angels that took care of me. Listening to this song, crying it all out "but the hardest pill to swallow is the meantime." No words. Thank you for this Ms Alessia Cara.
sending love to you! hope you're able to move forward and make more beautiful memories in your life!
I lost my mother this year. 3 months ago. I know the pain you heavy heart carries every day.
Sorry to hear, I hope and pray you will get through this.
lots of love to you, they’re always watching over you 🌌 💙💙💙
I'm so sorry.🥺🙏🏽
this song is exactly what I'm feeling, everyday, every single second, not being able to move forward and feeling shallow and sad because of what I've lost, trying to move forward, possibly forcing myself but feels like there's no hope and being stuck with the mean days, it's a realisation of growing up that not everything is unicorn and rainbows and this is hardest lesson I've learned at the age of 18
It gets worse once you're in your 20's, like what the very first line of the song talks about. If you're still in your late teens, enjoy it while it lasts. I'm 26, and I actually look back at my late teens with certain amounts of nostalgia (and regret, for that matter, but that's a whole other story).
I know this comment is almost a year old, but I just wanted to share, anyways.
Totally me... I'm 24 and I feel I'm totally stuck in life and that I can't move forward and I see days, weeks and even years pass by and I feel I can't do anything
With covid-19 & the global pandemic, this song really resonates with me. I feel like my 20s are going by. No matter what time point I face in my life, Alessia brings forth raw authentic emotions that really connect with me and the feelings that I am facing.
Same
0% sex/drugs in the song
0% trashing other artists
0% cuss words
100% pure & raw talent.
that's what alessia is 🥺❤️
I agree, it’s so refreshing :) another artist like that is Tori Kelly 💚
@@s-nih yesss😍 tori and her are good friendssss she even did a live stream with her
@@skyhighseadeep_ stop saying cringe to everyone & everything, thanks
@@skyhighseadeep_ i edited it now, so people like you stop saying such annoying things. hope now its not 2009 anymore i guess? lol, what a mind
@@skyhighseadeep_ i know. i just appreciate her for not doing that since almost everyone in the industry is changing becoming that way at just 18/19 years old or somewhat like billie eilish :')
this girl is so underrated she needs some more hype
Those who needs to see this, they will see anyways. Quality is always underrated in the crowd.
Oh my god. Please.
cuz she sounds exactly like someone else who already blew up
@@hendrxx_ sounds like who
@@yavuzmarifet4528 dua lipa, halsey, little bit of sia… they’re way too similar in inflection and general song writing… no reason to have that many of the same sound in the main stream
Alessia has this amazing talent where she can turn her experiences into songs that others can also relate to in some sort of way. I’m always blown away by her lyricism 🧡 We’re so blessed to be alive at the same time as her!
I felt like this in my 20s, but my 30s have been pretty great. Don't give up, folks ❤️
Thank you for this! 25 and I feel like I am just floating like a dead fish😢
This song hits so true when you are in your 30's missing your friends 😢😢
THIS WILL BE ALESSIA'S BEST ALBUM 🛐
edit: is actually her best album
EASILY
I listened to it and I can confirm that it is her best so far😊
yessss💓
Alessia Cara - Best Days Lyrics
So much harder to be honest
With yourself at twenty-something
Wish I knew what I'm becoming
And felt the ground while I was on it
Hoping, waiting on a moment
Not knowing if it's coming or it's going
What if my best days are the days I've left behind?
And what if the rest stays the same for all my life?
I'm running with my eyes closed, so it goes
You live and then you die
But the hardest pill to swallow is the meantime
All the best days is the ones that we survive
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (Ah, ah)
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
If I had known to feel the firе (Fire)
I would've thrown my arms up higher (Highеr)
Would've held on a little tighter
'Cause you don't know a thing you miss 'til it's behind you
What if my best days are the days I've left behind?
And what if the rest stays the same for all my life?
I'm running with my eyes closed, so it goes
You live and then you die
But the hardest pill to swallow is the meantime
All the best days is the ones that we survive
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (Ah, ah)
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
What if my best days are the days I've left behind?
And what if the rest stays the same for all my life?
thank you💓
❤️
The beginning when Alessia closes the door. . . The mood drops and I got a sense of familiarity of when I leave friend's house or they leave mine, and I just feel SO alone in that moment, I cry so much and I don't even know why
First time this dropped I was 17. I remember listening to it with the album when it released. I am 20 now. Just turned at the beginning of January and stumbled on this. A week ago, to this post is when I turned. Felt like a new song when the memories started coming back. I related to the song quite a lot at that age. Now too, less somber compared to back then. Alot i didn't think would change did change. Hopefully when I stumble onto this after you forget, you'll be having an experience like this. This is my check point in time.
near the end of the year now buddy, not doing quite well at this very moment. all doom and gloom yk.
As a young teen her music always resonated with me and always will. I wish the music industry didn’t leave her in the dust but then again an award or title doesn’t define who you are but I just wish her work would be recognized more because it’s so genuine and authentic and resonates with people all over the world.
Wow this speaks to me on a whole other level. I didn't even know I felt this way until I heard this song. She verbalized a feeling that I had for a while now. Thank you ALessia
🥺💗
Same!
same , i knew i was felling somenthing i just dont know how to describe it

I know it may be hard guys but dont lose hope, everything will get better❤ I believe in you, You will get through this! Remember you are an amazing person even though it may not be clear right now. I see your beauty, trust me♡
If you need somebody to talk with, I'm here for you♡❤❤
The very noticeable thing in alessia's song is that she writes her song in the prospective of the listener and every emotion in very line it relates to listener's life . Love you alessia ❤❤😘
i swear this is alessia's best album, the production, the lyrics, the concept, just everything, i'm over the moon with this record, THANK U ALESSIA. AGAIN.
yesss🥺💞
Can we please give her the grammy now? I mean seriously this album is a masterpiece. The concept the rawness the lyrics!! How relatable and UNIQUE each song is!!!
@@19FedeMr yesss🥺💗💗❤️
Seriously Alessia Cara is one of the best singers in our generation! She has these songs that make you feel these feelings of sadness but beauty, Really can make you respect the song. I will forever be a fan xoxo
I turn 30 in Feb and I'm looking forward to it! My life has been so hard for so long and I fee like its FINALLY becoming mine to enjoy. Yes sometimes I waste a day doing nothing or I spend a bit too much on ASOS or something but I am living it for me. If I died tomorrow my only regret would be not doing it sooner. If you live to 70 and you are almost 30, you still have more life in front of you than you have ever lived, of course life will change, sometimes it will be shit and sometimes it will be amazing.
If you aren't happy do something about it!
Alessia se merece todo el éxito del mundo. Es una de las pocas artistas que son realmente honestas con su trabajo.
¡Veen a Latam! ♡♡♡♡
Thank you for you Alessia Cara 🧡
En mi mundo me creía solo por tener ese pensamiento sobre Alessia Cara, pero veo que tu también tienes ese pensamiento. Ella tan humilde, sincera, y todas sus canciones son extraídas desde el corazón! Soy un Alessia Cara Lover! y no me he de morir sin estar en algún concierto de ella!! lo juro por el cielo el mar y la tierra :)
The background of chorus is the video of her live concert. Shes like looking at those incredible moments and singing "What if my best days are the days I’ve left behind" again and again. And then I just cant stop crying
I was not expecting to cry so early into the song…this really hit me and spoke volumes of how me and probably many others are feeling. So thank you Alessia! Thank you! 💗🥺🥲 you and your songs are a huge piece of sunshine to my life…and I hope you know that you are so loved and inspiring! Thank you❤️
her music, the way she writes, she is a person with an overwhelming amount of awareness- of self, of her surroundings, of life. and it shows beautifully in her music. i just love it.
I'll one day listen to this song and smile about the best days I've had, I will make more. I will look back at them and not wish to actually go back But smile because they happened. They shaped me into the person I am today. I am excited for more best days to come! 😘xxx
I have the feeling that this is going to be the best song she has ever released
I hope so, btw what's her best song she's ever released in your opinion?
@@SpicyPaisy scars to your beautiful!
@@J.a.n.e.02 omg so cool
Same, just by the snippet she posted of the video and the song on insta, is already one of my faves 😭
@@edd_sandoval_7 same😂
Alessia has the kind of music that makes me shiver (in a good way). She brings an incredible comfort and warmth to me. Like a familiar feeling. Maybe we can call it nostalgia. Thanks to Alessia I have rediscovered my vocal talents and am venturing into R&B pop and pop soul. I love you and thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Living in the worlds longest lockdown from Covid aka Melbourne Australia has mental killed me. I graduated high school in 2019 which was the most happy I’ve ever been in my life. The friends and memories I’ll never forget. The past two years I’ve always wondered if I will ever reach that type of happiness again. This song really hits me deep, thank u Alessia
I get so related to u
I finishd high school in 2020 whitout see my friends or my teaches cuz of the pandemic, it feels like those were my happiest days and know that is over I just feel empyt and hopeless
Hey we're gonna get through this together. there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Australia is gonna get through this. Keep your spirit high, right mate?
I think the most important thing to know is that you aren't alone. Sometimes we should just walk into life and let it surprise us. Stop trying to control it.
All the best💜

Give your life to Christ and he will take away all your anxiety’s
Jesus is the truth and the life. He loves you and wants a relationship with you. give your life to Jesus
She's incomparable, and her talent is so validating, it's almost formidable but yet very comforting.
Realmente no sé cómo expresar lo que siento,siento una artista que transmite mucho de su persona, muy sincera, bondadosa,humilde que da lo mejor para la gente que la apoya,es una artista realmente buena,admiro mucho su trabajo, Alessia se merece lo mejor.

Merece mas difusión
Tiene una canción en español que se llama querer mejor
Escuchen la bros
@@franciscomejia1740 La canción es de Juanes ella solo colaboró como ft.,pero si canta en español :)
WeNo siempRe estoy al pendiente del trabajo de Alessia(porque es una de mis artistas favoritas),de todas formas ya había escuchado "Querer Mejor" Desde su estreno en mayo de el 2019
I’m 27 and this song hit hard. Memories of all the little things from when we were little, emotions that are good and bad, everything just flying through my mind. Another excellent and well put together masterpiece. Well done…
No words...this song struck such a chord in my heart with its meaningful and somber lyrics. You are a true artist and a unique gem Alessia and the world needs more people like you. You are beautiful inside and out
I've been listening to this song everyday since its been out because I relate to it so much....For the past few years I've been feeling like my best days are all in my past and it scares me so much to think that how my life is going right now is how it's gonna be for the rest of my life. Thank you Alessia Cara for creating this master piece of a song....Your talent is way too underrated .
"Are the best days just the ones that we survive?". Very deep!
this song is genuinely so good like when she says "if i'd known to fuel the fire, i would've thrown my hands up higher" just makes me think like what if you don't live your best days to the fullest and your life was just so worthless. im scared to grow up love u alessia
I know it may be hard guys but dont lose hope, everything will get better❤ I believe in you, You will get through this! Remember you are an amazing person even though it may not be clear right now. I see your beauty, trust me♡
If you need somebody to talk with, I'm here for you♡❤❤
I feel the same way as you:( but We have to keep going forward, having hope. Everything will be fine♡ Growing up is something that we can't control, but we can enjoy ♡ I send you all my love friend
God bless ❤
I have no words to describe how amazing this is, mainly because of the way you handled the situation and turned everything into ART. You are wonderful , your work is wonderful and i hope you know it .
couldn't watch it till the end... i'm through the exact same thoughts. feels like my best days are so far away, everything has been so foggy.
thank you for being that honest and open up. 🧡💙
I hope the fog clears
@ella , it will get easier. I am there as well but I can only hold on to hope that soon I won't feel like I'm clutching onto quick sand
I listened to this once, speechless, feeling as if I wrote every single word of it. I listened to it twice, sobbing. I feel like my life can't go back as happy as it was before. Everything feels so different than before and now every day stays the same, without feeling new and peaceful. I feel like I can't find the sparkle I used to have and it's that unbearable meantime. I totally feel this song and I honestly don't know what to do. Thank you Alessia for making me feel less alone in these thoughts and emotions.
Ps : the part where you run and fly is really what I wish I could do : fly away from my own and find freedom and peace
Since I know this feeling, here is what I do to cope:
I try to get out of my comfort zone. It maybe won't make sense at first. We like to hold on to every piece of safe space that we can get when we feel like we are unheard. But by doing something outside the comfort zone I am forcing myself to go new ways, meet new people and gain inspiration. Only by doing this I can pave the way for a paradigm shift.
Getting out of the comfort zone can be trying a new hobby, joining a club, travel somewhere alone (doesn't need to be far) or bigger life changes of course.
I truly think this is the recipe to a happy life and that we have episodes within our lifetime. When the episodes get too repetitive and comfortable its time for a new season with a change of some characters in the cast and maybe even a new set.
I send you all the support for working through those thoughts and feelings, and am certain that you will make it out at the other end with a peaceful heart and big smile on your face 🤗
@@cesskin7979 wow that's the sweetest message, thank you so much. I honestly feel better when I go to places I haven't discovered yet and when I cook new recipes. Thank you for taking the time to write all this, it means a lot ✨
Let's face it, Alessia Cara is UNDERRATED.
This song deserves millions of views
VERY!
Oh my literal God. This is the most beautiful and meaningful song I think I may have ever heard. This song will truly be held near and dear to my heart because I just might cry with how relatable this song is! Im so glad you’re own this earth sharing your art with all of us and being able to do beautifully convey the inner fears and insecurities we all experience. You deserve every thing and more love. You truly are a beautiful soul. No Jessie McCartney.
"what if my best days are the days I've left behind". can we talk about this line🥺❤
Simplesmente perfeito. Sinto que esse álbum vai estar presente em vários momentos importantes pra mim. ❤️❤️ Obrigada Alessia, nós te amamos. 🇧🇷❤️
Sim
Tenho certeza que sim. 🥰🥰
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ tô muito feliz
É uma pena ela não ter o reconhecimento que merece. Alessia é uma artista completa.
Simmm 👑 😍
Listening to this really tells me to enjoy my teens years, try everything I want to and just do what makes me happy so I won’t regret
I don’t know how, but Alessia always seems to know how I’m feeling. This feeling of not knowing where you’re headed, or even which direction you should go in. It feels like you’re stuck in a maze. You’ll walk around, feel hopeless and than just run into dead ends but you’ll have to remind yourself there is a way out. Eventually you’ll find a way that brings you onward a little while but you don’t even consciously realise that because you’re still hopeless and thinking you’ll never find a way out. And that probably continues until you walk out of the maze eventually
WE ALL KNOW THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE A MASTER PIECE ONCE AGAIN!!!💕❤💕❤💕
Andy Bernard once said "i wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them. Someone should write a song about it."
And she did write a song about it😭😭😭❤❤❤
In ten years, if I don’t think of the years I am living in as “the good old years” or “the best days” then my life must be unimaginably happy in comparison. It’s so sad to be so happy and then realize that it will never last. All I can do now is make sure I remember all of it, and live my life to the fullest so I have as many memories of “the best days” as I can before they’re over. 😢😢😢
If I could listen to one artist for the rest of my life it would honestly and wholeheartedly be her.
In the pop world, she’s definitely up there for me.
I always say it. Every song she makes sounds incredible. That's a gift. It's a hit EVERYTIME!
My favorite song off the album so far. So beautiful that I almost cried watching this 🥺 I relate to these lyrics 1000%. Congratulations on the album, Alessia! Much love from Brazil 💙🧡💙🧡
Alessia necesita más reconocimiento, ella hace arte, t amo flaca😭💗
She's totally incredible. She makes her songs real that you feel it so much. You are loved Alessia. Keep going
I'm crying-- I can't believe how precious and meaningful Alessia's songs are.
This song made me cry & feel so many emotions wow. Life really is the most magical, craziest, exciting, painful, loving journey. I pray that you all are healthy, surrounded by loved ones and living each day to the fullest. I claim this energy
I have less than two years left of being in my 20s. I genuinely feel like the best days are behind me. It seems like I will never again feel as intensely about things and people as I did when I was younger. Thus, there's that continuous societal reminder that you no longer matter after you cease to be young.
I know it may be hard guys but dont lose hope, everything will get better❤ I believe in you, You will get through this! Remember you are an amazing person even though it may not be clear right now. I see your beauty, trust me♡
If you need somebody to talk with, I'm here for you♡❤❤
Such a beautiful soul and her songs seem to get better each and every time!
Can’t wait
Her voice and lyrics are larger than life. Both figuratively and literally...
She treats her fans so well and sounds even better live!
Special
Speaks volumes about real life. Wonderful talent- love it
I lost my father 5 months ago. Believe me as long as all your family members are there, these are your best days. Enjoy your best days!
I came bere because winter, this song is beautiful 🥺 minjeong we love you!!!! We support you and always be there for you forever

My tears...🌧🤍 Thank you.
The hardest pill to swallow is the meantime
Your writing, we need more of it! ♥️
this song deserve a grammy, a fuckin masterpiece
It's the most beautiful song I've ever heard in my life!
There are a bunch of artists interested only in success... Who use a lot of swear words and vulgarity in the songs just to be the most listened to singer... ALESSIA, ON THE OTHER HAND, HAS REAL TALENT AND YOU CAN SEE... AND THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING! ❤️
Are the Best Days the ones that we Survive?!?!?!?!? BEST QUOTE EVER ❤❤❤❤
I love Alessia Cara. Her lyrics always have so much depth. She is a true artist that makes you feel something through her art. This song is beautiful! ❤❤❤
The pains of growing up. I like as she grows you see the maturity in her music you go girl!
Estou tão orgulhosa ♥️
This is making me cry right now
Do you just stop and truly listen to the lyrics of a song and think God this is so me? I’m 60 years old and I think this very thing a lot of the times this girl is so amazing I hope you keep going Alessia Cara because you are indeed special and talented!
so happy I'm the type of person that keeps up with artists music even if they aren't mainstream at the moment..because I got to hear this gem of a song. she is so talented and her lyrics are real. so many of us struggle with this feeling at some point.
In tears. This is so real
*ALESSIA IS HERE TO SHOW HOW TO DO A MASTERPIECE AGAIN* ✨
This song really resonates with me, having finished high school and started the rest of my life...only 4 months in. Those questions sound so familiar...a really good song and a perfect video to match 🥺
I’m so happy you exist Alessia Cara.
I’ve been listening to her since I was 15 and songs like this is why I still listen and I’m about to be 21
First time hearing this.Tears have me dedicating this to my son. I miss you beyond measure. 2/2/95 - 8/13/21 Fly high, your free from all your fears pressure and sadness 🕊️💙
Beautifully sad real song 🙏

Another lit one. This one's deep. And this is one of the reasons I deeply love alessia cara.. she sings about reality....
as someone who has just gone through his 30s, This hit deeper than I expected, tears on the first listen.
this song touches the soul, it seems so personal to her. This "girl" has evolved musically like no one else.
This song deserves more recognition
This song hit so close to home...can't stop crying, thank You Alessia for this beautiful song.
