"And the question is, was I more alive then than I am now? I happily have to disagree; I laugh more often now, I cry more often now, I am more me." Wow...I love this song very much.
I finally made sobriety a priority in my life about a year and half ago. When people ask how I feel, I tell them that: I cry more often now I laugh more often now I am more me
Good on you! I wish you well and hope you are able to see that you are capable of solving any problems. We humans are fragile in the scope of things. But how capable! If you stumble you can get back up. As long as you know there is still hope, your sanity can be restored.
I heard a song on the tv and a slightly short part of it reminded me of a song i loved. I thought and thought got angry I couldn’t remember and closed my eyes cleared my head and remembered a quote “was I more alive back than I am now” and here I am.. Pure happiness
Their music makes me so happy. I could be having a terrible day and come home bawling hysterically then listen to them and calm down and smile. :) These guys are brilliant. I just wish I'd appreciated them sooner.
Why the bloody hell am I now hearing this - Came hear from Young Folks - The only song I know and love by them - Decided to click on this tune in my suggestion - I reckon it's one of the best decisions I ever made - It's 2013 an all But Yeah - I'm gonna listen their whole album
I was swimming in the sea Kept finding things that I did not need My heart sinking to the floor Going far as I could til it found me So far away how could it be My heart floating above me now Showing me that I wasnt so alone, how A boat drifted by made for two We got in to never look back again 🖤🩶🤍
Simply amazing...the video cut just as deep on creativity as the lyrics do to the soul. these days people really forget what music is, but im glad artists like this ressurect or keep it alive.
I remember when, when I first moved here A long time ago 'Cause I heard some song I used to hear back then A lone time ago I remember when, even further back In another town 'Cause I saw something written I used to say back then Hard to comprehend And the question is, was I more alive Then than I am now? I happily have to disagree I laugh more often now, I cry more often now I am more me But of cause some days, I just lie around And hardly exist And can't tell apart what I'm eating
I like them, it seem an intelligent return to old styles and atmospheres of former decades, there are elements of 60s, 70s, and even bits of 80s and 90s. I like them, I thought they could be the usual group for one single, but after "Young folks" they amazed me

i was feeling really shitty today, but this song reminded me that things were worse before, and i made it through that. I DO laugh more often although i cry much less, and I DEFINITELY am more me.
"I laugh more often now, I cry more often now, I am more me"
so human
To be human is to give into your vulnerabilities. They are what makes us, us.
So beautiful.
yea I come back to this song time and time again. I got into this when it first came out
"And the question is, was I more alive
then than I am now?
I happily have to disagree;
I laugh more often now, I cry more often now,
I am more me."
Wow...I love this song very much.
Almost every time I cry this song pops into my head, forces me to remember that I laughed recently too, and reminds me that I'm alive.
This is so great. Love you.
This song helps me remind myself I'm on the right path and not a junkie anymore. 🤙🏻😁
Good for you! 😊
@@Emy-fv5ny thx 🙏

@@hobodarkness7696 thanks homie

Seriously out of the million songs ive heard in my life this is one of ones that stuck with me
i scowled down on the gut feeling that i left a comment on here, and there it was. two years ago, i wrote; "i like his hair".
Shoshon whitetiger king It's a nice hair, indeed.
Still alive bro?
This song helped me to move on in life. God bless PB&J
Dude.. this song's lyrics has to be one of the top 5 i have ever heard.
This song made me feel better!!!
Candy Monarrez U like me so much pretty lady!
Still gets me. I hope people still come back to it.
When I first heard this song it ripped my life apart in my best way possible. How was that moment 17 years ago??
I finally made sobriety a priority in my life about a year and half ago. When people ask how I feel, I tell them that:

that last "am more me" always gets to me man.. 😢
One of my favorite songs of all time. It gets stuck in my head during important moments, profound moments.
I feel a great love for this track... It's a song that is part of the soundtrack of my life. I'm very grateful for that.
"Just because something starts differently doesn't mean its worth less in the end!"... Love this song :D
When i saw these guys live this was my friends and I's favorite song played. These lyrics are beyond beautiful.
A song to get through the times

This song just eases deep into my soul...
This song is amazing. o: How have I not listened to this?
lyrics are everything ... what a good song :)
strangly hypnotic.....nice lyrics and a great bass and drum line
I listened to this song religiously, then I met this girl whom I was with for a year. Yeah.

Up Against the Wall and this are perfect accompaniments to Young Folks.
I had this song stuck in my head today. great song!
this song is the pride and joy of my library :,)
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE THIS SONG!!
This song just automatically makes my mood 10x better.
This is in the tradition of the Smiths
& The Cure--very well done.
This is my FAVORITE by this band. This is the best song ever. Very to the point; the tip of the heart.
Lovely.
I saw live in Lawrence, KS last night. The show was AMAZING!!!
Thanks for the introduction, Shoresey.
I like this version more I wish it was on apple music
Only God and me knows how many time put this song in repeat when I firts heard it. I really still love it.
I was swimming in the sea
Kept finding things that I did not need
My heart sinking to the floor
Going far as I could til it found me
So far away how could it be
My heart floating above me now
Showing me that I wasnt so alone, how
A boat drifted by made for two
We got in to never look back again
🖤🩶🤍
When songs speak to your soul 😍
This song has been stuck in my head for weeks and every time it pops in I tear up a little. Such powerful (and deeply relatable) lyrics
Que Cancion Tan Maravillosa!!!
Wonderful Song!!!
Brazil loves :D

Wicked Awesome!!!...In so many ways....
Simply amazing...the video cut just as deep on creativity as the lyrics do to the soul. these days people really forget what music is, but im glad artists like this ressurect or keep it alive.
I remember when, when I first moved here
A long time ago
'Cause I heard some song I used to hear back then
A lone time ago
I remember when, even further back
In another town
'Cause I saw something written I used to say back then
Hard to comprehend
And the question is, was I more alive
Then than I am now?
I happily have to disagree
I laugh more often now, I cry more often now
I am more me
But of cause some days, I just lie around
And hardly exist
And can't tell apart what I'm eating
seen them at lolla...and they kicked ASS!! what a great live band!!
I feel a Morrisey-esque touch.
for sure Manchester Style.But sounds more like the Stone Roses which are Manchester Style.
I'm going to see them in Houston, TX this coming Sunday... Can't wait!
I love this whistles parts, which I only hear in the video version.
nice song afterall
I saw these guys on the free direct tv channel the other day and the live version of this rocked. Love the song.
I love how he sounds like a mix of Lennon and Dylan
"And just to prove how right he was, then you came"
Awn. Love this song. One of my favorite by these guys.
I listened to this song for first time and I loved it ! Amazing !
Peter, Bjorn & John are so great and creative artists.
simply amazing.
Love the line "...just because something starts differently, doesn't mean it's worth less..."
Changed how I saw things. :]
This is simply precious
what a great song... totally sums up what is going on in my life right now!
an anthem for me.
oh, his voice is amazing..... Fantastic... Cool... Beautiful... And So Extraordinary!!! I love it so!
i am in love with this song
"And the question is am I more alive than I am now. I would happily have to disagree."
great line.
coming back in 2024.. this is still a great line!!
This whole video was so cool...it is outstanding. ! !
I like this version more than the album one.
I like them, it seem an intelligent return to old styles and atmospheres of former decades, there are elements of 60s, 70s, and even bits of 80s and 90s. I like them, I thought they could be the usual group for one single, but after "Young folks" they amazed me
this song is amazing
beautiful song!
congratulations
amazing. this song is inspirational. very beatles-esque
i love the line "just because something starts differently, doesn't mean it's worth less'
this song save my life so many times...
the chills is a great song too..
great video and great song.
Estou apaixonada por essa música S2
I love this song, they are such an under rated band
What a very beautiful and intense song.
Makes me wanna get off my ass. Think I'll take a walk.
love this song and love the screensaver!
Paredes de Coura 2007, thank you😍
what's there is not to love about this song.
What a great voice this guy has.
has a lennon quality to his voice in this song.
I went crazy when I heard this song live at the hollywood bowl. PB&J ARE AWESOME!!!!
they were AWESOME live
loved the song,and loved it more the second time around
I remember when, when I first moved here
A long time ago
'Cause I heard some song I used to hear back then
A long time ago
I remember when, even further back
In another town
'Cause I saw something written I used to say back then
Hard to comprehend
And the question is, was I more alive then than I am now?
I happily have to disagree
I laugh more often now, I cry more often now
I am more me
But of course some days, I just lie around
And hardly exist
And can't tell apart what I'm eating
From my hand or my wrist
'Cause flesh is flesh, flesh is, flesh is flesh
The difference is thin
But life has a certain ability or beating new life into me
So I breathe it in
It says here we are, and we all are here
And you still can make sense
If you just show up and present an honest face
Instead of that grin
And the question is, was I more alive then than I am now?
I happily have to disagree
I laugh more often now, I cry more often now
I am more me
And the other day, this new friend of mine
Said something to me
"Just because something starts differently
Doesn't mean it's worth less"
And I soaked it in, how I soaked it in
How I soaked it in
And just as to prove how right he was
Then you came
So I'm gonna give, yes, I'm gonna give
I'm gonna give you a try
So I'm gonna give, yes, I'm gonna give
I'm gonna give you a try
And the question is, was I more alive then than I am now?
I happily have to disagree
I laugh more often now, I cry more often now
I am more me
The 6th stanza is not present in this version of the song.
I always listen to this song when I feel alive
this is an awesome song
i love this song
wonderful song. the new album of them, living thing, is wonderful too. great group ;]
awesome... thi was just on a cbc show... they were being interviewed. i didnt even know they had a video to this. love it!
This is really good music. And I'm pretty critical. This music reminds me a lot of the beatles. The style he sings and the style the band plays.
Me 22, giving up on my old dreams and making something new of myself.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW es demasiado genial, ame esta cancion!
I LOVE THIS SONG...
Amazing.
Trippin balls
The ice cream?
this was their second to last song when we saw them live in the vic theater in chicago
Hope you're doing well!
Great song!
i was feeling really shitty today, but this song reminded me that things were worse before, and i made it through that. I DO laugh more often although i cry much less, and I DEFINITELY am more me.
Wow que gran cancion! un nuevo fan!
