Just sitting here at 38 years old, engineering some software, being an adult. I don't know why, but I thought about The Used for the first time in decades. Put on a box full of sharp objects, was like being back in high school again. Just pure nostalgia. Look over in the related, see The Taste Of Ink. "I remember this song I think?". Click it, that opening lick happens, and I just stop what I'm doing and listen, crying by the end of it. It's like one of my deepest memories that picked over 20 years to lay dormant and then all of the sudden knock me over. I remember everything now, every little detail of that time. It's absolutely insane how much gets tied to songs, and apparently forgotten until the song finds it's way back.
I was born in 82. Yeah, this was a HUGE time for music. 2000-2006. The "emo"/post hardcore bands of the early 2000's really spoke to me, as well as Good Charlotte, one of my favorite bands I've ever heard.
I miss these days so much. The Used, Taking Back Sunday, Senses Fail, Saosin, Finch... and so many other great bands helped me get through an otherwise shitty adolescence. Just wish today's kids appreciated bands like these more, and got to experience shows like we did. I can't even remember the last time I saw a garage band practicing...
ok im gonna be straight forward here, im 14, and like all the 'emo' music my parents listened to then, like the used. mcr and a bunch of other stuff and if time travel was a thing id definitely go back to when all of this was just getting really awesome because nobody else now really gets the music i listen to. ive had a few people i know in my school say the bands i like are "mid level at best" but i feel like nobody really pays attention to how meaningful these songs are. my friends say i was born in the wrong decade hahhah, and i really agree with them because all i wish i had was that 2004 or 2005 scene still because at that time rock music was really at its redefining point and there was a lot going around creatively that i wish was still appreciated today.
Give Dial Drive a try, those boys take me back to the good old times whenever I listen to 'em. They have that sound, the look, the feeling and the vibe of the early 00s! Oh, and they are out on the road busting their asses to get the recognition they deserve, just like The Used and all of the other bands that you mentioned did back in the day.
38, and right there with you! Looked them up a few years ago and saw Bert in a Free Palestine shirt. Good to know that before I knew anything I still picked the right people.
I remember being 19 and blasting this album while driving around Stockton, CA with the top down, wind blowing through my hair, sunset in the distance and off to meet a girl I met on Myspace. Those were the DAYS man lol. How tf am I 40 now
Is it worth it, can you even hear me? Standing with your spotlight on me Not enough to feed the hungry I'm tired, and I've felt it for a while now In this sea of lonely The taste of ink is getting old It's four o'clock in the fucking morning Each day gets more and more like the last day Still I can see it coming While I'm standing in the river drowning This could be my chance to break out This could be my chance to say goodbye At last it's finally over Couldn't take this town much longer Being half dead wasn't what I planned to be Now I'm ready to be free So here I am, it's in my hand And I'll savor every moment of this So here I am, alive at last And I'll savor every moment of this And won't you think I'm pretty When I'm standing top the bright lit city And I'll take your hand and pick you up And keep you there so you can see As long as you're alive and care I promise I will take you there We'll drink and dance the night away (We'll drink and dance the night away) Oh So here I am, it's in my hand And I'll savor every moment of this So here I am, alive at last And I'll savor every moment of this Savor every moment of this As long as you're alive Here I am I promise I will take you there As long as you're alive Here I am I promise I will take you there And won't you think I'm pretty When I'm standing top the bright lit city And I'll take your hand and pick you up And keep you there so you can see it As long as you're alive and care I promise I will take you there As long as you're alive and care I promise I will take you there So here I am, it's in my hand And I'll savor every moment of this So here I am, alive at last And I'll savor every moment of this Savor every moment of this Savor every moment of this
I literally remember blaring this every morning in middle school as well getting ready for the day. This was when music was literally life. This is our antidote to the world's problems.
I used to record this video when it came on MTV past 12. This is my favorite song of my favorite band. It's the song of my life. Thank you Robert from Mexico. I'll repeat, literally is the song of my life, my friends know that in my funeral this song it's gonna hit the entire place.
He’s always had such an incredible voice. When The Used and MCR covered Under Pressure they just did such an incredible job using both Bert and Gerard’s unique voices to perfection.
Don't wanna be too soft but it's kinda cool how over a decade later, so long as I'm alive & care the used STILL takes me there.. goosebump nostalgia land 🖤
the used always just takes me back to being in middle school, my sister would play this album non stop. so many great memories and what an amazing time for music back then
I get the chills with the taste of ink. It takes me back to high school when i was a teenager. 22 years have gone by and it still gives me the butterflies.
03/06/2024, 20 years later since the first I ever heard this song, I could listen to it in a live performance, for the first time. And it still has a huge impact on me
This song makes me happy, joyful, frantic, jumping and banging my head like a teenage rocker from 2005, even though in 2005 I was 6 years old lol I LOVE IT ❤️💜
I loved this song growing up so much seen the video many times . How the hell did i miss the ke70 station wagon in the video! A car which later in life also became close to my heart. Makes me love it even more
I can’t get enough just listen to the used taking me back to my high school days im 37 now these guys helped me and so many of my friends make memories together I miss the old days such an amazing band!!!
Your dad grew up in the last era of great music.. ask him what Van's Warped Tour was about! Miss those days.. awww High School.. take me back 17 years!
My wife showed me this we’re 28, I feel like I missed out on a very important band when I was a teenager and I’m upset about it, but damn the used is absolutely fire, very grateful that music exists.
Nobody could ever find the words to prepare me for how different these songs would hit now that I am in my mid-30s. Standing here, crying, while doing the dishes ( @ 4'oclock in the fckn *morning* 😅!) bc the nostalgia hits *SO* damn hard.😢"Savor every Moment of this!!" Some of my friends that loved The Used just as much (if not more) than I did, aren't even here anymore to enjoy them.😭 So I savor every moment of this... for them.❤🕊🌌 If you're here, reading this comment & you know exactly what I mean-- then you're a fuckin' *legend* ❤💯
After 18 years of listening to this band, I finally drove 3 hours and saw The Used live in concert in flagstaff, az with Sleeping With Sirens opening. Both bands put on a hell of a show. The used came on and I was overwhelmed with 18years of emotion from their music. I laughed, cried, and rocked the f out! Went back to the hotel with my date and smashed until the sun came up. Definitely in the top 5 best nights of my life!
I learned to drive while my uncle blared this song in 2004. He had me driving his mustang gt 5sp. Lol he muted it long enough to tell me "Rev it to 3000rpm and dump the clutch, then figure it out". Man I wish he was still with us. Every time I hear this song it takes me back to that moment.

this song still touches my heart deep I ~used to listen to it when I was 13, now I'm 28. kind of crazy still makes me feel so, the lyrics and video as well with the melody. great hug for all of you in the band. (graziela, br).
2:52 This transition with guitar makes it soo nostalgic really underrated song. Especially when relating to struggle of low end jobs and day to day life.
When the vocal melody in the verse is just as good as the chorus. Was late discovering these guys. Always knew of them, but never checked them out. Til Spotify put this song in one of my mixes last year and It's now one of my all time favorites.
I'll admit, I only really got into their first album, but what a phenomenal work it was!!! The Used really kickstarted this sound for the rest of the decade and countless imitations.
1:02 Any other Stardew Valley fans think that Sebastian's 10 heart cutscene was heavily influenced by this single frame of lyrics? 😆 It's my head canon that Sebby is a Bert McCracken/The Used fan 😝😜
The Taste of Ink by The Used is a song that evokes a sense of nostalgia and reminds me of my college days. It's a song that captures the essence of youth and the excitement of new beginnings. The lyrics speak to the feeling of being young and invincible, and the music is both catchy and energetic. I can't listen to this song without being transported back to my college years, and I'm sure many others can relate to this sentiment. Overall, The Taste of Ink is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with listeners of all ages.
I saw The Used sing this live circa 2001 in a San Diego basement club. TAKE ME BACK! Then full circle at the last Warped Tour a few years ago. Always a jam. 🖤
As much as I hate to admit it, this album brings me back; I'm sad there aren't music festivals like the Warped tour anymore. Such fun times when things were simple and life was just about getting to the next show
I love this song still. I was like 15 when it came out. Man I miss high-school. I hated it when I was there. But I'd give anything to go back even just for one day. Enjoy your youth. It goes by fast af. Now I got 2 kids and back problems but I still love this song 🎵 ❤️
I used to the T-shirt that says " Bigfoot believes in the used." Ill never forget the random makeout session I had with some random girl after the show in Toronto. Fucking epic days in my 20s. 🤘😎🤘 Ps. Holy shit i still have the damn shirt!!!!!
This meant enough to me as a teen. Now in my mid 30s I am SO happy to come to this song after a very long time of stagnant nothingness. I have moments to savor bc here i legitimately am in my own hands now.
damn this album was my high school life, i remember so many great nights listening to this album. thank god i found this album on the floor in my brothers room. changed my life fr
I have hailed this album to be single handedly responsible for saving my life at 15, all while wishing I was "on my own" already and "hated" high school...I'm now 34 and I'd give a fucking arm to go back to this time and re-experience this again.
Damn dude I miss the days when there were still music videos on at 7 in the morning, getting ready for school, having actual friends, getting in trouble, seriously not giving a fuck about anything except what was in front of me. What a life.
dear 15 year old me - you'll still love this song 20 years later and listen to it on a weekly basis while driving to work. ❤️
yep

@@leeleerodriguez it was a great show. My baby girl even got out and moshed a little. My little early 00's punk/ emo heart melted. Lol
I'm 40, babe.
Being born in 85 and being able to have the chance to grow up with this kind of music is a blessing!!! 🎉🎉
Me too!!!! Golden era of music
That’s what our parents would say about there music era, 😂😂😂 1984 😂😂😂
I was born in 82. Yeah, this was a HUGE time for music. 2000-2006. The "emo"/post hardcore bands of the early 2000's really spoke to me, as well as Good Charlotte, one of my favorite bands I've ever heard.
Born in 87, MTV still played blocks of this music 12am-7am
83 we definitely had a great time to grow up. Couldn't imagine growing up now
I miss these days so much. The Used, Taking Back Sunday, Senses Fail, Saosin, Finch... and so many other great bands helped me get through an otherwise shitty adolescence. Just wish today's kids appreciated bands like these more, and got to experience shows like we did. I can't even remember the last time I saw a garage band practicing...
I just saw Taking Back Sunday and Third Eye Blind in concert this past weekend talk about feeling old…
ok im gonna be straight forward here, im 14, and like all the 'emo' music my parents listened to then, like the used. mcr and a bunch of other stuff and if time travel was a thing id definitely go back to when all of this was just getting really awesome because nobody else now really gets the music i listen to. ive had a few people i know in my school say the bands i like are "mid level at best" but i feel like nobody really pays attention to how meaningful these songs are. my friends say i was born in the wrong decade hahhah, and i really agree with them because all i wish i had was that 2004 or 2005 scene still because at that time rock music was really at its redefining point and there was a lot going around creatively that i wish was still appreciated today.

Mine too buddy, hope everything is going great in this chapter of your life.
Because at 33 i still fight the demons, and i savor every moment of this life.

This band peaked at such a young age. This is still one of the best cd's of all time.

31 yrs old .and still hear this song while driving alone in the night .sing it loud alone .thank you for the memory
I was a senior in high school back in 2001 and fell in love with this song… Here I am 41 and still rocking out to this song!
I remember being 19 and blasting this album while driving around Stockton, CA with the top down, wind blowing through my hair, sunset in the distance and off to meet a girl I met on Myspace. Those were the DAYS man lol. How tf am I 40 now
Is it worth it, can you even hear me?
Standing with your spotlight on me
Not enough to feed the hungry
I'm tired, and I've felt it for a while now
In this sea of lonely
The taste of ink is getting old
It's four o'clock in the fucking morning
Each day gets more and more like the last day
Still I can see it coming
While I'm standing in the river drowning
This could be my chance to break out
This could be my chance to say goodbye
At last it's finally over
Couldn't take this town much longer
Being half dead wasn't what I planned to be
Now I'm ready to be free
So here I am, it's in my hand
And I'll savor every moment of this
So here I am, alive at last
And I'll savor every moment of this
And won't you think I'm pretty
When I'm standing top the bright lit city
And I'll take your hand and pick you up
And keep you there so you can see
As long as you're alive and care
I promise I will take you there
We'll drink and dance the night away
(We'll drink and dance the night away)
Oh
So here I am, it's in my hand
And I'll savor every moment of this
So here I am, alive at last
And I'll savor every moment of this
Savor every moment of this
As long as you're alive
Here I am
I promise I will take you there
As long as you're alive
Here I am
I promise I will take you there
And won't you think I'm pretty
When I'm standing top the bright lit city
And I'll take your hand and pick you up
And keep you there so you can see it
As long as you're alive and care
I promise I will take you there
As long as you're alive and care
I promise I will take you there
So here I am, it's in my hand
And I'll savor every moment of this
So here I am, alive at last
And I'll savor every moment of this
Savor every moment of this
Savor every moment of this
Thank you❤
This song takes me back to Jacksonville Florida, in the Navy stationed in Mayport; 2002! Great memories!

“We are the Used!!!!” Priceless vomit sessions.
So much emotion, it’s amazing
Haven't listened to this in years...and it's still amazing.
Don't wanna be too soft but it's kinda cool how over a decade later, so long as I'm alive & care the used STILL takes me there.. goosebump nostalgia land 🖤

Hell yeah man. I downloaded this album march 2013 spring break of my senior year
Wish the world could just go back to these times.

When the vocal melody in the verse is just as good as the chorus. Was late discovering these guys. Always knew of them, but never checked them out. Til Spotify put this song in one of my mixes last year and It's now one of my all time favorites.
Crazy how fast time flys; so Savor Every Moment Of This!
I'll admit, I only really got into their first album, but what a phenomenal work it was!!! The Used really kickstarted this sound for the rest of the decade and countless imitations.
My Baby's Fave Song Love You Guys Always 💗💗💗
37 year old me still listening to the used what wonderful music era they had the best emo love songs in this era
There will never be another song in this world as close to my heart as this one ❤️💯 thank you. Forever.
1:02 Any other Stardew Valley fans think that Sebastian's 10 heart cutscene was heavily influenced by this single frame of lyrics? 😆 It's my head canon that Sebby is a Bert McCracken/The Used fan 😝😜
Forever missing The Used, have my love in a choke hold for them, from childhood to adulthood, thank you.
you do know the used is still a band right?
2024 and still savoring every moment of it 🤘🤘
This song brings me right back to freshman year. I miss those times man. Still a solid album 🤘
Reminds me of good times. Still love this even after all these years.
This song takes me back to the good old days of my late preteen and early teen years, one of those eras of my life that I'd always love to go back to.
This song and walking the streets of my hometown late at night from the pool hall. Wish I would have lived every second a little longer.
you still can
The Taste of Ink by The Used is a song that evokes a sense of nostalgia and reminds me of my college days. It's a song that captures the essence of youth and the excitement of new beginnings. The lyrics speak to the feeling of being young and invincible, and the music is both catchy and energetic. I can't listen to this song without being transported back to my college years, and I'm sure many others can relate to this sentiment. Overall, The Taste of Ink is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with listeners of all ages.
I saw The Used sing this live circa 2001 in a San Diego basement club. TAKE ME BACK! Then full circle at the last Warped Tour a few years ago. Always a jam. 🖤
2022 baby and this song is still a banger!!! When I think of The Used this is what comes to mind!!!
make it 2023 for me and a daily!
it's 2023 you dummy
This is the most important song of my life. It bridged my childhood into my adulthood
As much as I hate to admit it, this album brings me back; I'm sad there aren't music festivals like the Warped tour anymore. Such fun times when things were simple and life was just about getting to the next show
There are festivals like the warped tour but they're like $400 for a 2-3 day pass... so punk
Amen! Let's plan to go to a show near our towns to bring back that feeling.
Hey warped tour is back !!! 🩷🙏🏼
Warped tour is coming so soon. Hopefully we can get tickets on time !!
My first love!!! The Used! ❤
I saw the used the first time in 2002 at warped tour. Tonight I listen and still I cry! Happy and sad tears.
I love this song still. I was like 15 when it came out. Man I miss high-school. I hated it when I was there. But I'd give anything to go back even just for one day. Enjoy your youth. It goes by fast af. Now I got 2 kids and back problems but I still love this song 🎵 ❤️
❤️
One of my all time favorites.. i will forever jam this song
Same here! Takes me right back, miss those days so much. Saw them in NYC with boxcar racer. One of the best shows ever
This band got me through high school! And randomly popped up in my feed when I was in such a bad mood now I’m almost in tears from joy 💜💜
Same bro this album and band is therapy 🤟🏼🥁🎸
Omg I needed to hear this song! I miss this feeling ❤❤❤❤
My first concert I ever went to.. Del Mar Fairgrounds 2004 ❤
This was my younger brothers favorite band whom passed away last Apirl. RIP Jason Michael Owens! Love ya bro!
Nostalgic AF. brings back vivid memories of being 16😬🥰
Best song/ video EVER MADE
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “The Wave” by SLT 🤘🎸🐺🎸🤘
I really love the clean bridge part. 😌 It's so soothing
Still one of my favorite bands... the nostalgia is crazy for me ❤
I used to the T-shirt that says " Bigfoot believes in the used." Ill never forget the random makeout session I had with some random girl after the show in Toronto. Fucking epic days in my 20s.
🤘😎🤘
Ps. Holy shit i still have the damn shirt!!!!!
This meant enough to me as a teen. Now in my mid 30s I am SO happy to come to this song after a very long time of stagnant nothingness. I have moments to savor bc here i legitimately am in my own hands now.
damn this album was my high school life, i remember so many great nights listening to this album.
thank god i found this album on the floor in my brothers room. changed my life fr
So rad my boy kris Markovich was in this video. This is before California went to shit. I miss San Diego so much 🛹
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “The Wave” by SLT 🤘🎸🐺🎸🤘
I first time heard this song was when I was15 years old. I'm now 34 and I still love this song!
I have hailed this album to be single handedly responsible for saving my life at 15, all while wishing I was "on my own" already and "hated" high school...I'm now 34 and I'd give a fucking arm to go back to this time and re-experience this again.
Can confirm, 33 years here and what I would give to live high school days again
0:29 you can see lana clarkson She was murdered a few weeks later by phil spector @ his mansion
He’s such a demon
That's her? I watched that doc on Netflix but I guess I didn't realize it had happened so recently.
This is currently my 4yr old daughter's favorite song. I catch her on her tablet singing along haha. What have I created!?
A legend
A wonderful tiny little legend of a human
yessss it was never a phase mom!!!
You have created an amazing child.
My 4 yr old daughter loves it too but her favorite has been 'all that Ive got' haha
Just enjoyed a great the used concert past weekend ❤
20 years later and I still love this and Bert still takes me there 😂✌️🔥🤟🤙
Damn dude I miss the days when there were still music videos on at 7 in the morning, getting ready for school, having actual friends, getting in trouble, seriously not giving a fuck about anything except what was in front of me. What a life.
