Now I know how my Dad feels when he constantly talks about how he misses the 60s and 70s when he was growing up. I really miss the 90s and early 2000s. This song really takes me back
I was watching Len’s don’t steal my sunshine, The thing I notice most watching these older music videos....no cell phones. Even if it’s a music video people are just interacting with each other even the background people. I really think it’s not just nostalgia people were happier back then.
The instruments resting on “we can leave this town” in the last chorus is one of my favorite parts of any song. All the tensions builds up into the vocals and releases when the instruments come back in on “and run forever.” So good.
I ALWAYS cracked up at the drummer going so hard bro. I was in a band, drummer, in high school, and whenever I wanted to be goofy or "go hard" I'd play like this guy. Great memory
I'm 64 and think is a great song. Especially since I found out that the song isn't about Ocean Avenue but Ocean Boulevard, a 15 or 16 block boulevard in Atlantic Beach, a beach town of Jacksonville. Cherry St is in Neptune Beach. In the 70s I was growing up on Ocean Blvd near the 15th St ramp to the beach. This song takes me back in so many ways. I'm feeling 14 instead of 64.
This song is the easiest way to have your whole life flash before your eyes. Just pure nostalgia. Summer nights. Lake days with friends. Hanging out at your "spot" in your hometown. School dances. That 1st crush. The one who got away. Girlfriends/boyfriends of the past. That realization that you're getting older. This song is just the pure definition of nostalgia.

Nah i do it all the time at least twice a year. It usually starts with this song and then it just snowballs. I like to listen to a song and then when the video is over see what songs are suggested after the video and choose from those see where it takes me. Ah the high school years can't believe it's been 10 years already.
sean costa I do the same thing. I spend hours doing that. But I did learn to be careful about clicking suggestions when I accidentally ended up watching a stripper. So be careful or you will end up on a different side of TH-cam. (Unless that is what you're trying to do, if so more power to you. lol)

Lmao all of us in the hood went home after school and did not hold back on this song believe me lmao all the people who would say that shits trash back then loves it now
I'm about to blow your guys minds. Notice how at the beginning, the back of his jacked has a 1 on it? I never noticed before, but it actually changes with how many times he repeats the scenario. at 1:08 it has a 2, and at 2:39 it has a 3 on it. I've watched this video for like 10 years now and just now noticed this.
Who else has been on an early 2000s music binge? I was a teenager when this came out. Life sure was alot more fun back then. Now in my 30s life is mostly work, bills, stress and existential dread haha. Atleast we always have the music to take us back. :) Sending good vibes to everyone

I remember that morning in 2004, when I woke up, turned on the tv and discovered this band and this song, that’s really changed me forever and now I’m 32 and still loving this song ❤
Hearing stories like this from people who had the “American teenage years” especially in the early 2000s is cool to hear. Hope you’re doin well well bro
The magic effect this song has on me is mystifying. There’s a genuine sense of euphoria and nostalgia. The true desire and willingness to give anything to go back to these times.
Agreed on that first part... I had a random good memory of 20 years ago today and I always remember this song was in my head that day. Now that I got it in my head again, I might go hang out at the same spot I did that day...
Ohhh my god! I remember when I was like 15 and we were called "emo." We wore band tshirts, studded belts, blackened eyes and used mad hair spray! This song was like one of my favorites. I love that you tube is likea time machine and I can listen or watch anything I want. Plus this is a song that reminds me of one of my best friends growing up. RIP Deanna Ormerod. Always in my mind, heart and soul. ❤
There's a place off Ocean Avenue Where I used to sit and talk with you We were both sixteen and it felt so right Sleepin' all day, stayin' up all night Stayin' up all night There's a place on the corner of Cherry Street We would walk on the beach in our bare feet We were both eighteen and it felt so right Sleepin' all day, stayin' up all night Stayin' up all night If I could find you now things would get better We could leave this town and run forever Let your waves crash down on me and take me away There's a piece of you that's here with me It's everywhere I go, it's everything I see When I sleep, I dream and it gets me by I can make-believe that you're here tonight That you're here tonight If I could find you now things would get better We could leave this town and run forever I know somewhere, somehow we'll be together Let your waves crash down on me and take me away I remember the look in your eyes When I told you that this was goodbye You were begging me, not tonight Not here, not now We're looking up at the same night sky And keep pretending the sun will not rise We'll be together for one more night Somewhere, somehow If I could find you now things would get better We could leave this town and run forever I know somewhere, somehow we'll be together Let your waves crash down on me and take me away
How this isn’t used in movies and commercials boggles my brain. This is truly one of the best songs of our generation and the words just make me feel pains of nostalgia and hope to “find you now things would get better, we can leave this town and run forever. I know somewhere, somehow we’ll be together! Let your waves crash down on me and take me away, yeah!”
This song is legendary. I mean this is one of those songs that takes me back to a certain period when life was easier to deal with and genuinely more fun. This one will never be out of my playlist.
I completely forgot about this band until tonight. I haven’t thought about it in like 10 years. It’s crazy how much of a different feeling I get when I listen to songs like this, and it’s not even a feeling I necessarily desire, it’s just a noticeably different feeling. A nostalgic feeling, a feeling of remembrance, of a different time. It’s crazy to think how much time has passed from when this song came out
hey man as an old fuck i just wana make you aware....that shit dont stop. almost everything you love will someday be twinged with feeling and meaning. but its good. i promise. usually anyway lol. enjoy it man
I recommend going down memory lane of all the forgotten things from your youth. It’s a bit sad, but definitely fun to relive your life through songs, movies, and pop culture from then
OH MY GOD! this brings back so many memories of being in highschool and having great friends by your side and life being simple. Everything and everyone was so Innocent and pure back then. Man i miss the 00s! Wish i could go back in time and relive those days.
Anyone else on a quick nostalgia run? I just hopped from Cute Is What We Aim For, to Taking Back Sunday, now this, and I think I'm heading to Fall Out Boy next, then maybe Panic! At The Disco or All-American Rejects xD I'm 23 and haven't heard most of these songs in over 5 years, but I still remember every single word.
Haha! I started at ever the same by Rob Thomas, to Matchbox Twenty, to Unwell, to Hoobastank the reason to Oasis to this... This is definitely my favorite time period of music
I just went through my own nostalgic list. Started with Meg & Dia, Gym Class Heroes...and now I've heard all my old jams including this one, Fall Out Boy, Cute is What We Aim For, Panic at the disco, Paramore... Lol. I'm just clicking all the old videos I use to love so dearly. And I still know every single word. Lol
TyronBash, punk rock was the mainstream music style in the early 2000's that rivaled pop artists like Brittany, N'Sync, BSB, etc. and gave a lot of people a great alternative music genre. Punk rock (even popular punk rock) was much better than pop and I'm very thankful for songs like this.

3:15 in case you guys didn’t know. That building you see they’re driving towards is actually paddy’s pub from its always sunny. It’s here in the art district of Los Angeles.
For all the people saying they wish they were teenagers when this music was big, or that they'd known about it when it was: There's nothing to stop you picking up a guitar, screeching at the top of your lungs till you can sing, and writing lyrics to pave an even longer path for some of the greatest music out there!
Lord Moflombi This music is what i lived for...still do...we need this music...this shit they call music these days is a sad excuse...where are all you fuckers that wanna make music...the true artists...that want to write about your heartbreak and your true love...well said my friend...well said
Man... I'm 32 now. Listening to this song reminds me of the days of the squad hanging out on summer days back in Middle/high school when this song would pop up on MTV

Long story. I have a brother 6 years older than me and when I was 7 this song came on the radio while we were driving. I had only heard it once before on MTV so I didn’t know the verse but I remembered the chorus easily. I was mumbling through the verse my brother was like “Don’t sing the song if you don’t know the lyrics” all smug like and that exact moment the chorus hit. I got right in his face with the biggest smile I’d ever had and yelled “IF I COULD FIND YOU NOW THINGS WOULD GET BETTER!!!” and proceeded to sing the whole chorus. The satisfaction I felt that day I still remember randomly sometimes. One of my first ups on big bro. Also lucky my mom was there so I had witnesses 😎
I remember when this song was popular, every Sunday as a kid at 12 after church I’d rush to the tv and turn on on MTV in hopes of catching “Hey ya” by Outkast and this wonderful song. One of the songs that opened my eyes to music as a young kid that never really payed attention to music or the feeling it can give you. I’m so happy this song exists so I can always come back and feel the nostalgia of being this age again.
Listening to Yellowcard just brings me back to the time when I was preparing for school while my dad plays their songs while preparing for work. I was 13 then and I'm 26 now
@@imstandingbytheahrenside5699 The issue is they sued him before he died for a song that doesn't even sound the same, but the worst part is they did it a few days after he died as well. They're pieces of shits tbh, and I don't even like X's music. Even long time fans of Yellowcard hate them now. They're far from great
It’s amazing to see that everyone in the comments is born in the late 80s and early 90s, reminiscing over their teenage years when they listened to these songs at the time they came out. I’m 2006 born, and having dug all the way down the pop punk rabbithole for a huge amount of time now, I have this sort of pride to be able to say in the future, that just like you guys 20 years ago, I’ll also have passionately listened to this music in my teenage years, nowadays, kind of carrying a heritage from the last generation. Even though I myself have trouble see it, there’s a whole bunch of guys like me out there. 2000s pop punk is still alive, people. It’s even reminiscing, nowadays. I also weirdly have some kind of melancolic attraction to this period, feeling you were so lucky to live during that time. Even though I don’t fully know what it was like back then, I wish so bad I could’ve been a teen at the turn of the century, skating to blink, Good Charlotte, Yellowcard, and all the pop punk crowd. The simple suburban atmosphere feels warm and reassuring, when the American Dream was still alive. All that to say, I think I feel you guys.
I would like to say that I was born in 1998, and from China, I met YC when I was in primary school, they are not very popular in China. I can only say that I am very lucky, extremely, absolutely.
Being born 98 I still can feel it but I wish was born late 80s high school in the 90s would been so fucking dope or even just high school in the mid 00s
One of the best pop punk songs of all time and my personal all time favorite song. On their last tour in one of their last concerts ever in cologne in 2017 they played this song as usual as the last song of the set list.the last moments where the violin is played is one of the most emotional moments of my entire life. Yellowcard for Fucking ever
back when MTV actually had the channels name, they should put MTV back to what it use to be and make another channel called RealityTV and put the stuff that's on it now to there...
"When lookin up at the same night sky. I keep pretending the sun will not rise. Well be together for one more night somewhere, somehow" Still hits me to this day in all the feels. Damn I miss my high school sweetheart days. 🥲
I absolutely freaking love this band. They got me through some hard times and some low times and the best of times. I absolutely love coming back and listen to their music because it's just super nostalgic.
A few years ago my friend Scottie died of a heroin overdose. Blink-182 was his favorite band. At his rememberance get together we were all drinking and telling stories about him and someone put this song on. The entire room broke into song and we held each other singing in unison. It was a really beautiful moment. When the song ended we all just stood in silence for a few moments and started crying. I'll never forget that night.
@@popofabulous Then delete this comment and post it there maybe? Still a beautiful story though. Sorry for your loss, happy that you have such real friends.
Not super old, but I was listening to this in the third grade and now I'm gonna be a graduating senior. song is still super rad, and currently relatable as a high schooler starting his last year. time flies.
@@rodolfotsang4327 thanks for the comment. Totally forgot i ever commented on this video but your comment brought me a notification that brought me back to the video i forgot about. Hope youre doing well
@@grrkerson ok, when i listen to this song, it reminds me of the good days of my life, not worry about a thing, just having fun, i wish we could go back, now im old :(
@Senyora Santibañez yeah but realistically you had to be born in the 80s or early 90s generation of kids to appreciate the teenage music at the time (2000s)
This is a classic. I never realized how much this song sounds like Blink 182, the guitar strums, the drums, amplified course, and the pacing of the song and how it changes towards the end to a more mellow then upbeat again. Pure Blink 182 sound.
I could listen to this, Blink182 (with Tom), Sum41, New Found Glory, Good Charlotte, Lit, and AAR all day every day for the rest of my life and totally be happy. Best generation of music in my opinion for a good time and happy feeling.
Those were such wonderful times when bands would create these interesting music videos that had some sort of story or theme to go with the song. You could tell they had a lot of fun and were genuinely passionate about music and entertaining people.
I first heard this song walking down the city walk in flordia by disney and Universal Studio. Its locked into mind along with the feel of warm air and the blinding lights as I walked with my family. I was a little kid and danced with my cousins to it. Deep nostalgia for me.
... I remember this being on MTV2 when I got back from School in 2002.... I was a Reservation Injun thrust into the DFW Metroplex School System... Ahhh memories.
@@gypsy-nr9zd its not punk its pop punk. major difference. pop punk has a punkish popish sound with no certain type of lyrics while punk all have a general theme in lyrics (ie. anti-authoritarianism, progressivism, activism, etc.)

Electric violin 🎻 🤘
Love it🤘🤘
I thought the same and I remember that part makes me love this song so much. The build up is well planed and executed!
Gives me chills every singe time.
I hear this a lot in pop punk songs but this one is the best. Not sure if there’s a musical term for it? Early 2000s music was so great
Yellowcard: The band that proved that violin is a fantastic compliment in pop-punk.
After the yellow card, many Japanese bands recruited violinists.
Look up The Dambuilders. Joan Wasser mixed electric violin into indie pop punk (aka Grunge) in the early 90s
I remember listening to yellow cards first album before Ryan key lol man did it sound different and the violin just didn't fit in lol
Also backflip
Fuck yeah it did!! He used to do back flips off the speakers at the live shows!!
The drummer did not need to go this hard for this, but thank god he did. This is such a great song, so much energy, youth, and nostalgia.
never seen someone go so hard on a violin too

Every time I listen to this song it just takes me back to my naive, ambitious teenage self ready to take on the world. I miss those days.
Especially if you have a "one that got away."

Damn. Just glad I'm not alone with these thoughts 😅
I was looking for the lyrics. Didn't find 'em. So here you go emos:
There's a place off Ocean Avenue
Where I used to sit and talk with you
We were both 16 and it felt so right
Sleeping all day, staying up all night
Staying up all night
There's a place on the corner of Cherry Street
We would walk on the beach in our bare feet
We were both 18 and it felt so right
Sleeping all day, staying up all night
Staying up all night
If I could find you now things would get better
We could leave this town and run forever
Let your waves crash down on me and take me away
There's a piece of you that's here with me
It's everywhere I go, it's everything I see
When I sleep, I dream and it gets me by
I can make believe that you're here tonight
That you're here tonight
If I could find you now things would get better
We could leave this town and run forever
I know somewhere, somehow we'll be together
Let your waves crash down on me and take me away
I remember the look in your eyes
When I told you that this was goodbye
You were begging me not tonight
Not here, not now
We're looking up at the same night sky
And keep pretending the sun will not rise
Be together for one more night
Somewhere, somehow
If I could find you now things would get better
We could leave this town and run forever
I know somewhere, somehow we'll be together
Let your waves crash down on me and take me away

life was simpler then when we weren't constantly connected
I know that feeling, we all are in the same shit😅. Just enjoy listening like you used to, that feels much better
Even tho im a black guy from the hood I STILL had this on my playlist back in the day! I played it secretly tho😂😂😂🤦🏾♂️
Lmao all of us in the hood went home after school and did not hold back on this song believe me lmao all the people who would say that shits trash back then loves it now
Hahahaha
@@huntersden5119 I can already tell u don't actually know how people of color work lol
Please delete this, you can listen to whatever you want hun :/ black folks ARE apart of the alt scene.
Don't be ashamed of your jams my dude 😎
I'm about to blow your guys minds. Notice how at the beginning, the back of his jacked has a 1 on it? I never noticed before, but it actually changes with how many times he repeats the scenario. at 1:08 it has a 2, and at 2:39 it has a 3 on it. I've watched this video for like 10 years now and just now noticed this.
You are so right. It's like that movie that just came out on Netflix from Tom Cruise " Live Die Repeat." I never would have made that connection.
damnnnnn
Woah. Good eye
I read this comment right after noticing that
Mind = Blown
Who else has been on an early 2000s music binge? I was a teenager when this came out. Life sure was alot more fun back then. Now in my 30s life is mostly work, bills, stress and existential dread haha. Atleast we always have the music to take us back. :) Sending good vibes to everyone
This song inspired me to make a song that is inspired by love. If you want to listen to it here is the link: th-cam.com/video/3Wo0zFPt_t0/w-d-xo.html
Thank you!
Meeee
And good vibes to you as well!
Im not the only one!! Haha. This takes me to a simpler time.
c'est la vie
I remember that morning in 2004, when I woke up, turned on the tv and discovered this band and this song, that’s really changed me forever and now I’m 32 and still loving this song ❤
Hearing stories like this from people who had the “American teenage years” especially in the early 2000s is cool to hear. Hope you’re doin well well bro
The magic effect this song has on me is mystifying. There’s a genuine sense of euphoria and nostalgia. The true desire and willingness to give anything to go back to these times.
bot?
Agreed on that first part... I had a random good memory of 20 years ago today and I always remember this song was in my head that day. Now that I got it in my head again, I might go hang out at the same spot I did that day...
This song is pure bliss, I just miss the vibes of the 2000s
Ohhh my god! I remember when I was like 15 and we were called "emo." We wore band tshirts, studded belts, blackened eyes and used mad hair spray! This song was like one of my favorites. I love that you tube is likea time machine and I can listen or watch anything I want. Plus this is a song that reminds me of one of my best friends growing up. RIP Deanna Ormerod. Always in my mind, heart and soul. ❤
Same. Late 90's to mid 2000's were some of the most underappreciated bands.
@@daynasilverman1772 emo kids forever
I still listen to this music, I love the old songs nothing will beat these tunes 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Do time machines only go in reverse?
There will always be a place off ocean avenue. Long live Yellowcard!
There's a place off Ocean Avenue
Where I used to sit and talk with you
We were both sixteen and it felt so right
Sleepin' all day, stayin' up all night
Stayin' up all night
There's a place on the corner of Cherry Street
We would walk on the beach in our bare feet
We were both eighteen and it felt so right
Sleepin' all day, stayin' up all night
Stayin' up all night
If I could find you now things would get better
We could leave this town and run forever
Let your waves crash down on me and take me away
There's a piece of you that's here with me
It's everywhere I go, it's everything I see
When I sleep, I dream and it gets me by
I can make-believe that you're here tonight
That you're here tonight
If I could find you now things would get better
We could leave this town and run forever
I know somewhere, somehow we'll be together
Let your waves crash down on me and take me away
I remember the look in your eyes
When I told you that this was goodbye
You were begging me, not tonight
Not here, not now
We're looking up at the same night sky
And keep pretending the sun will not rise
We'll be together for one more night
Somewhere, somehow
If I could find you now things would get better
We could leave this town and run forever
I know somewhere, somehow we'll be together
Let your waves crash down on me and take me away
Chingy, Hoobastank, yellowcard....this era takes me back to simpler days

Chingy is a rapper
I'm laughing so hard that Chingy was not only included, but first in the list. Hell yeah long live Chingy!
Music is the closest thing we have to a time machine
True
Bet!
Do you feel emo you might delete that comment later?
facts
Can I heart this comment?
How this isn’t used in movies and commercials boggles my brain. This is truly one of the best songs of our generation and the words just make me feel pains of nostalgia and hope to “find you now things would get better, we can leave this town and run forever. I know somewhere, somehow we’ll be together! Let your waves crash down on me and take me away, yeah!”
Wasn’t I just 7 years old listening to this? I’m almost 26 now. One of my all time favorite bands. Thank you.
the drummer is CRUSHING IT
The drummer is top tier! Those entries are still unbelievable today as they were 20 years ago!
This song is legendary. I mean this is one of those songs that takes me back to a certain period when life was easier to deal with and genuinely more fun. This one will never be out of my playlist.
Reminds my childhood memories the great times

@@MEOWASIA100 okay cool thank you
I completely forgot about this band until tonight. I haven’t thought about it in like 10 years. It’s crazy how much of a different feeling I get when I listen to songs like this, and it’s not even a feeling I necessarily desire, it’s just a noticeably different feeling. A nostalgic feeling, a feeling of remembrance, of a different time. It’s crazy to think how much time has passed from when this song came out
Amen to that
this music will never die
hey man as an old fuck i just wana make you aware....that shit dont stop. almost everything you love will someday be twinged with feeling and meaning. but its good. i promise. usually anyway lol. enjoy it man
@@xAlexZifko thanks man
I recommend going down memory lane of all the forgotten things from your youth. It’s a bit sad, but definitely fun to relive your life through songs, movies, and pop culture from then
OH MY GOD! this brings back so many memories of being in highschool and having great friends by your side and life being simple. Everything and everyone was so Innocent and pure back then. Man i miss the 00s! Wish i could go back in time and relive those days.
Saw them at Warped Tour, I crowd surfed for the first time there when they played Ocean Avenue at the very end of their set. I had a great time.
What a memory you will have!
I did too they said they were retiring :,[ fell in love with their live performance
you ever crowd surfed while chugging a pitcher of beer? that my friend......is the only way to crowd surf
Bozzy446 me toooo!!!
This drummer was extremely underrated.
Dude is a absolute animal
Him and the violinist. A violin doesn't necessarily fit the norms of the genre but my god did Yellowcard pull that shit off in a blaze of glory!
@Hot Step-Dad not true .whole wheat bread and Lj from sevendust(even tho that’s metal) .whole community of niggas into this shii

Average pop punk drummer. There's no stand out about them
Anyone else on a quick nostalgia run?
I just hopped from Cute Is What We Aim For, to Taking Back Sunday, now this, and I think I'm heading to Fall Out Boy next, then maybe Panic! At The Disco or All-American Rejects xD
I'm 23 and haven't heard most of these songs in over 5 years, but I still remember every single word.
jfish Same here, listened Liar by Taking Back Sunday, I Don't Care by FOB and then this.. god if i miss these days
jfish Hi-fives for you!!
Haha! I started at ever the same by Rob Thomas, to Matchbox Twenty, to Unwell, to Hoobastank the reason to Oasis to this... This is definitely my favorite time period of music
I just went through my own nostalgic list. Started with Meg & Dia, Gym Class Heroes...and now I've heard all my old jams including this one, Fall Out Boy, Cute is What We Aim For, Panic at the disco, Paramore... Lol. I'm just clicking all the old videos I use to love so dearly. And I still know every single word. Lol
+jfish Well I actually started from We The Kings to Boys like Girls to Yellowcard...Not sure where I'll go next!
36 now and I wish I could go back to teenage me and tell me don't rush to grow up, love the music and make the most of life.
My sophomore year of high school this was the #1 song in the country. I had the lyrics of this song posted on my AOL Instant Messager profile.
TyronBash, punk rock was the mainstream music style in the early 2000's that rivaled pop artists like Brittany, N'Sync, BSB, etc. and gave a lot of people a great alternative music genre. Punk rock (even popular punk rock) was much better than pop and I'm very thankful for songs like this.
That's adorable. I did the same, except for posting lyrics on my Live Journal, lol.
+evilknight16 This is more pop punk than punk rock
You're making me feel old.
this is my fav song but im a fresh men and people here in cali like more music like drake
I'm 30, this was the first song I had on my mp3 player in middle and high school. Still possibly my favorite song from the 2000's era.
Ahh I’m 27, brother is 30.. remember listening to all these jams while brother and his friends were playing computer and ps2. Such nostalgia

It's a fiddle
That's what I meant ;)
The Japanese Fire Hydrants Fiddles and Violins are the same instrument
The Japanese Fire Hydrants Yeah, exactly, a violin.
Chris Simpson Let's compromise and call it a "viddle"
For all the people saying they wish they were teenagers when this music was big, or that they'd known about it when it was:
There's nothing to stop you picking up a guitar, screeching at the top of your lungs till you can sing, and writing lyrics to pave an even longer path for some of the greatest music out there!
Lord Moflombi This music is what i lived for...still do...we need this music...this shit they call music these days is a sad excuse...where are all you fuckers that wanna make music...the true artists...that want to write about your heartbreak and your true love...well said my friend...well said

+JustAnotherTH-camr Same Here
+Lord Moflombi I was a teenager when this music is big, and there's no reason it can't STILL be big.

Just saw them live in Denver. So glad I got to see this song live. One of the greatest nights of my life
Justin Stone lol. Exciting life....
Justin Stone i prefer memphis
My mos- I can't remember.....
One of their last shows :(
I bet that was a really good concert.
Man... I'm 32 now. Listening to this song reminds me of the days of the squad hanging out on summer days back in Middle/high school when this song would pop up on MTV
Violins in punk music. I couldn't ask for anything more
Violin player: Can I join your band?
Yellowcard: Sure! Do you play guitar?
Violin player: Not exactly....
There is nothing like the classic...
The violin made it even better :,)
Bro, you see that thing? That's not a violin, thats a fuckin AXE bro. Soooo sick.

Words cant describe how good this song is
Long story. I have a brother 6 years older than me and when I was 7 this song came on the radio while we were driving. I had only heard it once before on MTV so I didn’t know the verse but I remembered the chorus easily. I was mumbling through the verse my brother was like “Don’t sing the song if you don’t know the lyrics” all smug like and that exact moment the chorus hit. I got right in his face with the biggest smile I’d ever had and yelled “IF I COULD FIND YOU NOW THINGS WOULD GET BETTER!!!” and proceeded to sing the whole chorus. The satisfaction I felt that day I still remember randomly sometimes. One of my first ups on big bro. Also lucky my mom was there so I had witnesses 😎
As a guitarist/singer... I never managed to find a drummer that can shape my music like that. Dude went so hard. Awesome!
This is the kind of song you don't know the name of but once you find the music video for it you realize it was etched into your soul the whole time.
I remember when this song was popular, every Sunday as a kid at 12 after church I’d rush to the tv and turn on on MTV in hopes of catching “Hey ya” by Outkast and this wonderful song. One of the songs that opened my eyes to music as a young kid that never really payed attention to music or the feeling it can give you. I’m so happy this song exists so I can always come back and feel the nostalgia of being this age again.
Listening to Yellowcard just brings me back to the time when I was preparing for school while my dad plays their songs while preparing for work. I was 13 then and I'm 26 now
2:10 That drum fill 🔥❤️
I feel that no one appreciates
We definitely appreciate it! My steering wheel doesn't lol
LP3 was the best drummer for yellowcard. Sucks they parted ways.
Lot of lit drum parts in the whole Ocean Avenue album
legendary
The drop that happens after 2:37 will always give me chills.
Me too and 2:03 and 2:15 i want to go back to this era

I just saw them live! What a show! They ended with this and everyone went crazy and started singing. One of the greatest shows I’ve seen
Saw them live a few years back and they put on a hell of a show
lucky you, wish i had a chance

@@imstandingbytheahrenside5699 The issue is they sued him before he died for a song that doesn't even sound the same, but the worst part is they did it a few days after he died as well. They're pieces of shits tbh, and I don't even like X's music. Even long time fans of Yellowcard hate them now. They're far from great
Was with a girl in Foster care growing up over 20 years later I still cry to this song
I'm 37 years old and this song brings back beautiful memories of my adolescence ❤️
you've got the to give them credit for lasting longer than most early-mid 2000s pop punk/alt bands.
they're certainly a lot more enduring than the dysfunctional family that is blink-182
Yeah, FUCK Blink 182 for getting someone in the band that is committed and willing! Fuckin jerks!
Just kidding.
They're from the 90s lol they got famous in the 2000s cuz of this.
Nichole Way yeah, my bad on that one. and you're right, ocean avenue really blew them into the mainstream.
Excuse me but. Blink-182.
It’s amazing to see that everyone in the comments is born in the late 80s and early 90s, reminiscing over their teenage years when they listened to these songs at the time they came out.
I’m 2006 born, and having dug all the way down the pop punk rabbithole for a huge amount of time now, I have this sort of pride to be able to say in the future, that just like you guys 20 years ago, I’ll also have passionately listened to this music in my teenage years, nowadays, kind of carrying a heritage from the last generation.
Even though I myself have trouble see it, there’s a whole bunch of guys like me out there. 2000s pop punk is still alive, people. It’s even reminiscing, nowadays.
I also weirdly have some kind of melancolic attraction to this period, feeling you were so lucky to live during that time. Even though I don’t fully know what it was like back then, I wish so bad I could’ve been a teen at the turn of the century, skating to blink, Good Charlotte, Yellowcard, and all the pop punk crowd. The simple suburban atmosphere feels warm and reassuring, when the American Dream was still alive.
All that to say, I think I feel you guys.
I would like to say that I was born in 1998, and from China, I met YC when I was in primary school, they are not very popular in China. I can only say that I am very lucky, extremely, absolutely.
Indeed. I'm the same age as you and I identify with everything you say :]
This is the comment I was looking for.
Being born 98 I still can feel it but I wish was born late 80s high school in the 90s would been so fucking dope or even just high school in the mid 00s
I was born in 87's and you made me cry bro...
Enjoy theses days, the most you can, you will probably miss it too...
🥲
Same. I'm an 06er and I miss this music/times too
One of the best pop punk songs of all time and my personal all time favorite song. On their last tour in one of their last concerts ever in cologne in 2017 they played this song as usual as the last song of the set list.the last moments where the violin is played is one of the most emotional moments of my entire life. Yellowcard for Fucking ever
20 years ago today.....this song was released. Where does the time go. 😥 I was a freshman in high school.
so much nostalgia. hella boss song. it reminds me of malcolm in the middle.
Same
Haha bro this reminded me of Malcolm in the middle heavy. This song is for all those 90s kids. They don't make punk rock bands like this anymore.
First 2016 commenter
Nevermind
+zstJ FINALLY SOMETHING ORIGINAL
Oh my god!! I remember hearing/seeing this song on MTV music videos all the time! :)
back when MTV actually had the channels name, they should put MTV back to what it use to be and make another channel called RealityTV and put the stuff that's on it now to there...
Me too!!
Yeah. Also Fuse! God, I miss when MTV and Fuse was good.
Rob Brown II yup
The melancholic feel that comes with listening to old music...💔❤️🩹
"When lookin up at the same night sky. I keep pretending the sun will not rise. Well be together for one more night somewhere, somehow"
Still hits me to this day in all the feels. Damn I miss my high school sweetheart days. 🥲

I absolutely freaking love this band. They got me through some hard times and some low times and the best of times. I absolutely love coming back and listen to their music because it's just super nostalgic.
A few years ago my friend Scottie died of a heroin overdose. Blink-182 was his favorite band. At his rememberance get together we were all drinking and telling stories about him and someone put this song on. The entire room broke into song and we held each other singing in unison. It was a really beautiful moment. When the song ended we all just stood in silence for a few moments and started crying. I'll never forget that night.
R.I.P

Best era of music. No one can relive 80s' and 90s' generation.
80s and 90s?
@Senyora Santibañez yeah but realistically you had to be born in the 80s or early 90s generation of kids to appreciate the teenage music at the time (2000s)
yeah I listened to Yellowcard in my mp3 player... lol
This isn't 90s. It's 00s.
Just saying I'm pretty sure 2009 isn't 80's nor 90's.
Evokes that strange combination of happiness and sadness, such a classic
This is a classic. I never realized how much this song sounds like Blink 182, the guitar strums, the drums, amplified course, and the pacing of the song and how it changes towards the end to a more mellow then upbeat again. Pure Blink 182 sound.
Basically every pop punk band
Its because every single pop punk song is the same lol
Qidiri7hwhdy
That’s how Pop punk sounds dude
This does not sound like Blink this sounds like pop punk it's a type of music made like that Blink 182 IS Just another(more famous) Band
I could listen to this, Blink182 (with Tom), Sum41, New Found Glory, Good Charlotte, Lit, and AAR all day every day for the rest of my life and totally be happy. Best generation of music in my opinion for a good time and happy feeling.
I like to think he whole Universe was created just to produce the music of the early 2000s
Michael McCurdy How can you guys not include Simple Plan in this
and green day
Michael McCurdy happy for sure. But the best decade talking about music was the 90's. Others would say the 70 but the attitude is in the 90's
Yes and simple plan ;) I am sure some are missing but will think of them later ;)
All these types of bands were their own genre and just such a nostalgic period.
I miss when this was playing on MTV

Behe Beeh huh, I see it all the time
this is NOT punk music
Those were such wonderful times when bands would create these interesting music videos that had some sort of story or theme to go with the song. You could tell they had a lot of fun and were genuinely passionate about music and entertaining people.
I first heard this song walking down the city walk in flordia by disney and Universal Studio. Its locked into mind along with the feel of warm air and the blinding lights as I walked with my family. I was a little kid and danced with my cousins to it. Deep nostalgia for me.
The drummer is fantastic
Agreed! If there was a better word to use, I'd use it. He is awesome... terrific, great... fantastic! I hope he picks up with another band.
This song always gives me a nostalgia boner. Early 00s, Rocket Power on Nickelodeon, puberty, etc.
