I appreciate this song more now that I'm in university and actually truly miss the old days with no worries and i imagine it'll only get harder as i get older...
Now that im in my twenties this song actually really hits home. It always stuck with me and I forgot about it for a long time.. And when I was feeling blue and nostalgic I listened to this and damn.. It really made me realize just how fast time goes by. When I hear this I just want to live in the moment and hug my friends. Getting older is so bitter-sweet.
_"Over and over and over again, we sat down for a minute, and grew up into men"_ If that line isn't a personification of life, then I don't know what is.
this song used to make me extremely sad when i was younger because i didnt want to grow up and forget my friends but its been a about 5 years since i last listened to this and i now realize that forgetting is part of grow up and you remember the good things no matter how old you get
I've spent a lot of time by myself realizing that people come and go and the memories along with them . now I'm ok with letting people and the memories go without feeling broken or whatever
I'm 46 and part of me still feels that way. What's really cool is when old friends reappear decades later, and all those memories come flooding back. Music is my time machine...
Man, hearing this song when i was like... 4 or 5, it was just a good tune. But now, being 19 & only getting older, just makes me realize how true these lyrics are. Talk about deep, man...
this song reminds me of uni so much, and all the good times back then, and how every things changed now that im working...miss the old times so bad, its sometimes painful to even listen to this song~
Omg same!!!! I moved to the US in 2010 then back to Canada in 2011 then back to the US in 2012 been here since and everytime I miss Canada I listen to them! 😭 I miss it all the time!!!
END OF GRADE 8. Reminds me so much of our crazy days and everything we used to do :) I miss middle school! I'm in grade 9 now.. wow.. everyone's changed alot since we graduated last June.
God.... This song is freaking awesome. I freaking love Hedley. I must be Hedley's biggest fan. I have tons of Hedley stuff and I've seen them live twice and met them once. Hedley is hands down one of my favourite bands.
2008 I used to kill this back when I was in the 10th grade , now I can finally relate to it . 10 years out of high school as of next month wow time flys
@KristinDawnDee A polar bear!?!? that's awesome!! I just get a big old yellow school bus (and it's igloos) but honestly, the music from most Canadian bands is much more real than most American music
has anyone ever noticed how like 'woah' hedley lyrics are?????? i love i love i love i love listening to the words of their songs, espeically this one. with the burning car tires vs. changing car tires i find this song just perfect. and it's so catchy, just an overall good song
Well really as you said the burning car tires vs. changing car tires isn't that uncommon to do in music, many of the people who make the lyrics change just one word but keep the rest the same like that.
This song just makes me think of how parents say life is short and all we wanted to be was older and then we all came to the realization that they were right and realizing how long it has been and how short it has felt to older people cherish your memories to the young make as many as you can now.
I am an American but lately I have been listening to a LOT of Hedley. This is probably one of my favorite songs by them. It reminds me a lot of growing up and hanging out with my friends. Now, I'm a senior in high school looking at colleges... What I would give just to be able to go back for a little while and experience it all again!!
Moving away from my family and my friends and everything I know in 6 days. This song :( I wish I never grew up .. I was in such a rush and now I want it back
Right on, congratulations! That'll be a big change for sure, but a good adventure as well. My moms family is from Toronto and we used to go there quite a bit when we were kids. It's a pretty nice city and there are lots of beautiful beaches and cool places to visit and you'll have to go up in the CN Tower at least once.
omg we all grew up didn't we aha :) It's been 7 years since I first heard this song not quite understanding that one day this would all make perfect sense.
My friend took to to their concert bc they're my favourite band. Anyway, I cried when they played this song. I remember listening to this one repeat on my old ipod shuffle
this song is the best, i have a best friend that lives down behind our old school, they tore it down., were all grown now with kids, , , , , to everyone with best memories toast to you.!
I still know the lyrics to this whole song. OMG They have so many great songs that never get old to me. Even their new albums still have at least 1 or 2 songs that remind me of their good old school songs. :)
omg this makes me wanna cry .. because ive grown up with all my best friends and amazIng friends and all the memories we had im going to highschool next year and im moving im going to miss all the crazy shit i did with my best friend and all the things we planned on doing .. im going to miss everyone so much :'(
Gonna use this song for graduation this year. Although I hate high school in general, I've made some pretty good memories. Probably gonna cry my eyes out on the last day.
i have an unhealthy crush on Hedley and especially on Jake and Dave. You guys rock so much!!!!!!!!!! i saw you in concert in Hamilton, Ontario. You made me cry ;) thumbs up if you feel the same way!!!!
this song reminds me of my days in school where Id run outside to get to my favorite swing before someone else would, and collect rocks and play grounders with my friends
This song really is a good look on what life changes to be. We all wonder how we got somewhere. My friends and I still do meet ups every few years. The memories are overwhelming sometimes!
I am going off to middle school this year and this song is so true. Dont forget and my friends and i will miss our school so much and i bet we will always hang out in the school field! :) :]
It means alot to some people to move on to different places. I'd had the best memories of my life so far in my middle school years. thumbs up if you agree.
Ever heard that song you heard every day, and were glad, then heard it years later, and instantly remembered back then, and no matter how dark, you smiled? Now I look back at who I was and realised how much I've changed. I'm picking up the phone and calling my friends to meet behind our old school..
I made the mistake of playing this song in class I had my headphones so no else heard it and I just started whimpering trying not to cry and everyone now thinks I have a mental condition now 😂
WWWY festival was announced recently and a bunch of my old friends and I hit each other up and are going. Really sad Hedley's not gonna be there, no idea what they're even doing now. But the memories just reminded me of this song and how it captures nostalgia perfectly. I first heard this 11 years ago in 9th grade, I'm now 25 with a full-time job and it's great to have WWWY as a reunion opportunity. God, this song is so good.
I miss you guys so much. grade 8 class of 2010. midnight hide and seek and crazy shiz and all the jokes we made and everything. when we used to just laugh and smile. when everything was alright
Last night my friends and I all went to are old elementary school and we all began to sing this song it hard to believe will be going to highschool next year
@yoyoma208 Oh man, that's terrible. I can't say I know what it feels like, but I can imagine it rips the heart right out, to say the very least. Keep going strong, and may she rest in peace.
So Jade, It's been 7 years today. I miss you so much. I used to sing this to my girlfriend, we kinda considered it "Our Song." I lost her in February of 2009 to Follicular Lymphoma. Jade you have no idea how much I miss you and I wish you could be still here. I love you.
I just found an old phone of mine. Looking through the pictures brought back some amazing memories. Found some old text from a friend who passed away and it almost brought my to tear. This some was the first thing that came to mind
You know you're Canadian when you realize how many times this song played on your radio and iPod when you were younger.
This is soooooo true
word
AWMdiva499 true, i never thought it as by hedley
AWMdiva499 I'm Canadian Too :)
+AWMdiva499 oh man, i know exactly what you're talking about
I appreciate this song more now that I'm in university and actually truly miss the old days with no worries and i imagine it'll only get harder as i get older...
So true. I really miss HS and my friends. Uhh
Now that im in my twenties this song actually really hits home. It always stuck with me and I forgot about it for a long time.. And when I was feeling blue and nostalgic I listened to this and damn.. It really made me realize just how fast time goes by. When I hear this I just want to live in the moment and hug my friends. Getting older is so bitter-sweet.

Emma McConnachie Jesus, right in the feels bro
Man you got me.
And now your comment is 7 years old. Time flies.
I've spent a lot of time by myself realizing that people come and go and the memories along with them . now I'm ok with letting people and the memories go without feeling broken or whatever
I'm 46 and part of me still feels that way. What's really cool is when old friends reappear decades later, and all those memories come flooding back. Music is my time machine...
Man, hearing this song when i was like... 4 or 5, it was just a good tune. But now, being 19 & only getting older, just makes me realize how true these lyrics are. Talk about deep, man...
love it.
u can tell, this song is gonna be one of those classics 10 years from now.
was it a classic?
I sure think it was.
this song reminds me of uni so much, and all the good times back then, and how every things changed now that im working...miss the old times so bad, its sometimes painful to even listen to this song~
I listened to this song in 2010 after moving to the US because i missed all the good times I had in Canada.
Canada for the win!!!!
canada rocks thats why
Omg same!!!! I moved to the US in 2010 then back to Canada in 2011 then back to the US in 2012 been here since and everytime I miss Canada I listen to them! 😭 I miss it all the time!!!
2010 was the year I had this on repeat lol
This song always sends me on the biggest feels-trip.
"Don't close your eyes or we'll fade...away." My favourite part of the song
That part's even better live.. ;_; ♥♥♥
Arie EatsMonsturrs I can imagine ;_; though, I haven't gotten the chance to see them live yet :P
My cousin Healy got kissed on st Patricks day by healdy
Kristen Burke That's pretty lucky :O
seeing them in edmonton tonight ... can't wait!
This is making me nostalgic
END OF GRADE 8.
Reminds me so much of our crazy days and everything we used to do :)
I miss middle school! I'm in grade 9 now..
wow.. everyone's changed alot since we graduated last June.
This song was played at my high school graduation in 2009! I will always remember it, and what it represents:) Thank you Hedley.
God.... This song is freaking awesome. I freaking love Hedley. I must be Hedley's biggest fan. I have tons of Hedley stuff and I've seen them live twice and met them once. Hedley is hands down one of my favourite bands.

Moving away from my family and my friends and everything I know in 6 days. This song :( I wish I never grew up .. I was in such a rush and now I want it back
Where are you going?
aerodicus Queen's, I'm Canadian
Right on, congratulations! That'll be a big change for sure, but a good adventure as well. My moms family is from Toronto and we used to go there quite a bit when we were kids. It's a pretty nice city and there are lots of beautiful beaches and cool places to visit and you'll have to go up in the CN Tower at least once.
MrSEANDEERE Doesn't it go by so fast! it's so scary :(
I hear you there, but then again, look what we gained through the years !
I'm canadian too! Go Hedly! (the lead singer won third place on Canadian Idol).
omg we all grew up didn't we aha :) It's been 7 years since I first heard this song not quite understanding that one day this would all make perfect sense.
Very true
Yes, I think it's all starting to hit us all of a sudden :-)
ThisIsMyRectangle Makes perfect sense to me now
Thank the online story I read 3 years ago that brought me to this song. It will forever be one of my favorite songs. (:
My friend took to to their concert bc they're my favourite band. Anyway, I cried when they played this song. I remember listening to this one repeat on my old ipod shuffle

The only thing that bothers me about people listing music acts that make us proud to be Canadian is that I haven't seen a comment about Neil Young
2023 still listening to this stuff. Fuck the allegations, great guy
Ever heard that song you heard every day, and were glad, then heard it years later, and instantly remembered back then, and no matter how dark, you smiled? Now I look back at who I was and realised how much I've changed. I'm picking up the phone and calling my friends to meet behind our old school..

@Randomviewer1231 That was uplifting, thanks. I'm going to High School next year and I'm a little scared but I'll try to embrace it the best I can ;)
I made the mistake of playing this song in class I had my headphones so no else heard it and I just started whimpering trying not to cry and everyone now thinks I have a mental condition now 😂
support artists you enjoy and actually BUY their work.
i've seen hedley in my city, they're so amazing i wanna cry ;~;
I agree with you 100%. I freaking love Hedley. They're one of my favourite bands.
Hey this song is on Hedley's CD "Never Too Late" that came out in the USA on May 19th. It's fantastic, worth every penny.
Oh shit I'm crying 😭
A beautiful song, but it's so sad! Just remember, people:
Growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional. ;)
September 2022 Anyone?
don't be nervous, it's sick.
im leaving high school, going onto university.
now THATS nerve-wracking lol.
At first I thought this was Marinas Trench..
How about no.
+Kamryn Minors don't worry I think most of there songs were marinas trench and they were hedley
Their song, Arcadia, reminds me of Old School. Not actually sure the order they came out, but that's the order I listened to them.
That's like asking if we're still alive...Yes, we're listening to it RIGHT NOW. IN 2012.
listened 2 this song 1/2 a dozen time atleast
Listened to this at least a dozen i win :P
this song brings back a lot of good memories.

This song is beautiful. It makes me cry most of the times I listen to it. Last year of High School.
I'm going to go see them in concert in April 2010. Awesome!! Best birthday present ever!!
The song reminded me of when I changed to school, and for years miss my old school. I love Hedley ♥♥
@yoyoma208 Oh man, that's terrible. I can't say I know what it feels like, but I can imagine it rips the heart right out, to say the very least. Keep going strong, and may she rest in peace.
One of the best songs ever just gives you a rush of good emotions this should have been played at my high school grad

This brings me back, just sleeping through summer days and listening to the radio with this on.
Canada has awesome music! So proud to be Canadian!
I almost cried when i listened to this song.....:)...very awesome song:X
So Jade,
It's been 7 years today.
I miss you so much.
I used to sing this to my girlfriend, we kinda considered it "Our Song." I lost her in February of 2009 to Follicular Lymphoma. Jade you have no idea how much I miss you and I wish you could be still here.
I love you.
Reming me of my high school days in the Philippines.
This song explains my old life , with old bestfriend god do i ever miss you guys
Love that book! This song totally relates to the book/movie. Thank you for making me realize that! :D
Such a sad song... This'll make you want to go back to teenage years. *sigh*
"Hello? 9-1-1? We have an emergency. 162 people disliked Old School by Hedley. Oh. you've already arrested them? OK. Thank you."
i love this song!!!!!!!!!!they use to play it all the time on 98.7!!!
my favourite songgggggg!! thumbs up if u still listen 2 this song in 2012!!
We may not have the best army, and sure we have a weird accent but us canadiens are true to our music and the people important to us!
