    Truly can’t believe how much this little album has changed our lives. In honor of 25 years, we are thrilled to announce TWO new releases out on October 18th -
    The first, is LP1 reimagined by 10 different artists, of whom we are great admirers.
    The second, is LP1 completely remastered from the original DAT tapes (which we actually found only a few months ago after searching for them for over a decade…) pressed on a double LP with an entirely new packaging.
    Thank you for being here and thank you for making this record what it has become. 🖤

      I can just fell the pain, Songs can be powerful, I lost friends to, four of them. One of them showed me this song after dying of heart cancer three years ago and I absolutely loved it,hurts a lot when it comes to bad times when you miss them a lot, someday I will wish you the best to recover and be filled with happiness again.

    I used to think 1:35 - 2:15 was way too needlessly long and repetitive, but it hit me why this is arguably the most meaningful part of the whole song. Eventually, YOU begin to zone out from the song and reminisce about your life. You get lost in your own daydream of heartache/what could have been. It suddenly becomes your story

Because even if you don't listen to bands like Brand New and Far you probably have heard people influenced by them hence why they have that familiarity.

  • @UpUpBobby

    I am 35 years old and I literally cannot listen to this song without crying. I just become overwhelmed with the memories of being young. Falling into feelings so hard that every little thing crushed me emotionally. But the emotional highs were also so much higher. Guitar music was loved by most. While I don't want to be a slave to nostalgia, something tells me I'll never feel anything like this for any other genre of music ever again.

    I think what's sad about this song is that the relationship ended in the most natural way: The love just stopped.
    Not because of cliches like an affair or something like that.
    It ended because it just wasn't meant to be.
    "Never Meant".
    That makes it more heartbreaking and sad.

    And everything we did
    Best friends and better halves
    Goodbyes
    And the autumn night
    When we realized
    We were falling out of love
    There were some things
    That were said
    That weren't meant
    But were said
    Like we never did
    Not to be
    Overly
    Dramatic
    I just think it's best
    'Cause you can't miss what you forget
    So let's just pretend
    Everything and anything
    Between you and me
    Was never meant

    To me, this song represents the raw emotion of a relationship that was never meant to last. Two souls with pure intentions fall in love, but they are too young and naive to keep their promises, which leads to the relationship's demise. They say their goodbyes, embarking on separate life journeys never to meet again.
    I know we were never meant to be

    this hit me hard. I was with her for seven years. the words "never meant" being repeated kinda stings but also confirms that we can't keep lying to each other. Now I'm looking for a new place to stay, a new job, a new life. I'm losing my best friend. I cherished every moment and wouldn't change it. I will always see her as the most special person in the world. We traveled up and down California, Florida, Japan. We played in the same band. she was there after my suicide attempt. I was there for hers. We worked on our cars together. we sat on the carpet and played video games until it was time to see the sun setting. We cooked together. We had a love that means more than two people "in love", we just innately had love. And that will never fade. This week has been rough, and all our friends are here for us. she stopped by last night to pick up some of her things. if feels like she never left. We both feel like that. I instinctively held her hands in front of me, pulled her in, and put my chin on her head. But I wasn't happy. for years. We tried so hard, constantly patching holes in this half- sunken ship.
    it was never meant.

      Bro, had a similar ride with my ex. We were together for six years and midway through it we always had some conversations about "how long it will go? and why do we have this kind of doubt", in the end the finish was the best for both sides. We kept in touch and we're clearly better now. Not gonna lie, the friendship we had does not exist anymore, but we care about each other and there's no hard feelings between the two of us. Just like the song states, some things were never meant and I guess we were never meant (even though we tried hard to make it happen).

      This makes me happy.

Glad to have another generation enjoying it.

    2:10 First date, at a party. She's talking to another guy, protagonist appears dejected. He walks outside, she chases him down and kisses him -- "don't worry, I'm all yours". Watched this video a million times and never noticed these few seconds, how they tie together.
    So interesting how this video shows the rise and eventual fall of this new relationship, but in just one very brief moment in the story of this otherwise-blissful meeting, still manages to nail something like this.

To me, the beauty of American Football's music is its intrinsic adolescence; and I appreciate the fact that 20 years later, as grown men, they didn't try to turn it into something it wasn't.

    I find interesting to compare the thoughts people have about youth and teenagers nowadays to this. For me, being young isn't about living fast, being drunk every weekend and having sex with everything that moves. For me being young is about falling in love, being heartbroken, living adventures with your friends, thinking your life choices, having a shitty job so you can afford a t-shirt from your favorite band. Being young is like suffering with your friends and enjoying every second of it, because at the end of the day you realize that you can only be young once

    This song is timeless. It's relatable but not because of being cliche. It's sincerity is evident. It makes me nostalgic for a depressing time (which is kind of the opposite of what nostalgia is).
    I always think of the moments right before I met the person I dated. I think of my life and how I was. Then the first moments of meeting and getting to know them. (All portrayed here). I barely knew anything about them. But there was this unwavering hope. That person becomes why you get up in the morning. And then I think about whatever that person is to me now. However we ended up. If we're still friends, occasional acquaintances, or total strangers again. It's odd, to see how things end up. Where you start and ultimately finish. And although it conjures up all these thoughts, I still find solace in this song. Keep moving forward, friends...

    I used to play this song every morning at 5am on my walk to work in the quiet snow in Montana. About a quarter miles walk. It was always otherworldly. The song seemed to intensify the solitude and coldiness of the environment. The phrase "you can't miss what you forget" has always stung. The hardest part of moving on is reaching the precipice of heartache and hope. To make the decision that the best way forward is to forget, or at least forget enough to let what was be starkly separated from what is. That conclusion is a necessary one, yet harbors a tinge of heartbroken frustration. To forget is to minimize. And how can you minimize someone who was your everything. The meaning you prescribed wasn't as grand as you once thought, and to admit such a thing is truly a hard pill to swallow.

  • @dantudor5600
    @dantudor5600 5 ปีที่แล้ว +154

    You know, I honestly think this is the best song of all time. Most people would say Bohemian Rhapsody or A Day In The Life but I say it is this. This is music in its purest form, sending a message so deeply painful, with lyrics that perfectly capture the human nature, the love, and the eventual end of it. Not to mention, the instrumental is magnificent, exploding as Kinsella softly says "I just think it's best/'Cause you can't miss what you forget". It is so crushingly sincere, emotional and relatable, encapsulating in a little over 4 minutes the most important thing in this world: love.
    This song will always have a soft place in my heart and it stands as a timeless classic.

    When I think of the best songs ever made, this has to be on that list.
    The beauty in this track is the simple complexity. It's a simple song about the feelings of love, but complex in meanings. Love can come to us with different results. It can hit like a truck that leaves a nasty scar, or be just a passing glance. But no matter what, it's easy to think of that person for a long time. Even if we just see them for a moment or two, it's easy to see the time spent, and how it was never meant to be.

I know it's kind of dramatic to say, but I don't know what my life would have been like without these tracks. There's something about them that just clicked so well with that period in my life that it's now impossible for me to go back and separate the music from my memories and emotions of the time.

    But I've met other person. Caring and loving. I'm finally happy. God bless you boys for all the good words. Every cloud has its silver lining. You'll be fine.//
    So I've met this girl, like 5 years ago. I've fell in love instantly, we've spent a lot of time together, it was pure joy. We were always laughing, I was thinking that everything would be great. But something wasn't alright, maybe we were younger, or something (I was 19 at the time). She left the city, and I've never seen her again. I've kept listening to this song, thinking that we were never meant, too. I thought about her so much, I was thinking that I'm gonna carry it, and I've carried everything to this day.
    She texted me a week ago. Asked me how I am. Something sparked. I've thought "Fuck it" and came to her city next weekend. She said "Hey you can stay at my place". Next night we spent kissing and sharing personal things. She is strange. But I'm so excited to see whats next. Hope I'll never truly relate to this song.
