I've been trying to figure out what this song means for a while now It starts out as kids in their home neighborhood, doing something innocent like flying model planes. His brother's (seemingly older) friend tells him that it's okay for love to hurt and he just doesn't understand yet. It sounds like this friend is being abused by someone they love. The singer grows up and learns that the world is a lot more complicated and painful than flying model planes. Someone else tries to escape their dysfunctional upbringing by moving to out west, but the singer is jaded and thinks their problems will just follow them to California because it's not something wrong with the east coast but with the person. But he can't provide a better solution and wonders if he could have stopped things from turning out so badly or if that's just how life is. I'm not sure about the phone call, but I think it might represent the brother's friend or someone like them trying to reach out for help because part of them knows love isn't supposed to hurt them like this, but they can't find the words. This character might be the same one who runs to California when they are older. By the end of the song, the singer has experienced destructive love and misses when things were simpler.
The first time I listened to TFB was when I brought "Rose" from a record shop because I recalled the name, I have no regrets and am so glad I did, i love this band so much. I no longer have that CD I gave it to my friend and miss it but it made her happy so it works out
I love the part when it goes like "Flying model rockets own the sky in the backyard next to mine. I get these strange phone calls at night with no one on the other side. My brothers' friend explains to me with breathless words, bloody knees. It's a black-eyed trust. Respect with pain. a love that I'll learn when I've been through the same. When I've been through the same. When I've been through the same. And there's nothing in California that you could not learn to hate here. Questions will all still be waiting for you. Answers will only be less clear. It's hard to say what I would do if I was back a year or two. Look at our plans try to understand what could've happened to all of them. To all of them. Oh, to all of them. Flying model rockets own the sky in the backyard next to mine I get these strange phone calls at night with no one on the other side. My brothers' friend explains to me, with breathless words, bloody knees. It's a black-eyed trust. Respect my pain. A love that I'll learn when I've been through the same. When I've been through the same. When I have been through the same. Ohhhhhh, ohhhhhh, ohhhh. Ohhhhhh, ohhhhhh, ohhhhhhh. Ohhh-Ohhh aoohhhhhh."
Please fall asleep so i can take pictures of you and hang them in my room so when i wake i'll feel like yeah everythings alright. I love you guysss so much
This song means an awful lot to me, heard it early 2015 and it's stuck with me ever since. Reminds me of what I've lost but also makes me grateful for where I am now.
the rose ep is honestly still my favorite to this day. years after discovering tfb and i still love every track on here. theyre just so comforting to me in a weird way
there's something soo soothing about this song, it starts off sweet and slow, makes me feel like im just chilling in my bedroom alone, maybe smoking, while my led room lights are on, color purple. Been listening to The front bottoms for like 3 years more or less, they never fail to calm me down and make me feel at home
Ngl, just found this band through a yt short, and its musical feel is a lot like the old indie bands i grew up with during highwchool. Wish id known about them sooner.
This came into my head today ive really havent felt so lonely and this song makes me less alone it gives me pictures of a dreamers life i needed this today

had a terrible breakup a few months ago and this was his song , i finally listened to it after he broke up with me , i was in a terrible state then so this song cuts deep looking back , its been about 6 months?? it reminds me of him alot lol
+Chrisbfilms His brother's friend explains to him that love is about black eyes and bloody knees (Copping an emotional beating from time to time) and he'll understand when he falls in love as well. The rest of the song is about lamenting expectations being less grandiose than.. Expected.
I could be wrong but I think it’s about some of his childhood memories (like flying model rockets with his brother and his brothers friend) his brothers friend has bruises and bloody knees from being hurt by his older brother and he tells the singer that his brother hits him bc of their brotherly bond and that the singer won’t understand until he’s experienced the same kind of love
all his songs sound similar, but in a good way
no
@@adduty8850 kind of
i understand that and i agree
Hello Mr. McCartney lol
It's a vibe lol
Heard them first when I was 16 I turned 22 today and still bumping
My girlfriend showed them to me about 4 years ago. They are one of the few bands I feel gets me.

I’ve only known this band for a few days and they already mean a whole lot to me. I love finding music with genuine emotion like this.

Idk why TFB don't have more followers. They deserve more recognition.
I dont know if theres a better song that this written in the past 5 years.
First heard this song at work so glad I found it so good
Where do you work ???!! That would be fuckin amazing to play tfb at my workplace
Hey! Remeber this great song?
I think it's 15th time in a row when I listen to this song today, I can't stop vibing.
this song feels like leaving
Absolutely amazing song
Love them
Ngl, just found this band through a yt short, and its musical feel is a lot like the old indie bands i grew up with during highwchool. Wish id known about them sooner.
This song puts all of the horrible memories i have to a sounftrack and i love that.
this band helps me get through so much. they let me know that life is fucked up for everyone and we're all just trying to get through it.
i dont like having a "favorite song" because i feel like 1 isn't enough, but if i had to choose, i think it'd certainly be this one.
This came into my head today ive really havent felt so lonely and this song makes me less alone it gives me pictures of a dreamers life i needed this today
#bestband can't defeat it
I love this song
I will always love this band ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I LOVE THIS BAND OMG THEIR GREAT. I WANT THEM TO STAY SMALL
They signed to a label like two albums ago and have blown up, this ep was a re release of another album they recorded years before.
This didn't age nicely
“i hope these guys dont get the recognition they deserve just so i can have bragging rights”
has anyone seen a tab for the little riff in between verses and chorus i desperately need it help
Nope but I'm sire some guy has done a cover about his name is sugarpill covers if you can find him and the song you can try to follow
All i do is smoke weed to this song in my backyard & god what a great vibe
