I hadn't heard this song in probably a better part of a decade. I know I used to listen to it over and over because I was in a dark place and needed something to lift me out. I moved on eventually. For years, I couldn't listen to DC because of the introspective pain pervasive throughout their music of that time. Now it's something to lift me up and remember things in a positive way. I don't recall the pains of the past thankfully, but I do remember this songs hopefulness, whether that's it's message to you or not. Keep looking upward, that guiding light is there for you..if you want to see it.
Comment section are so old, old enough to ask Where did time go? Time flies, hope you guys have healed from the past and to those who are still broken; Time can heal, time will heal. Just come to think of how you manage to reach 2024. ♥️😉
I came back to relive my high school life. Thanks for this video. Now on the road to becoming a doctor. I still go back to this video to remind myself of my past almost forgotten.
It's 2023, and im still here. Thank you so much @slomotionaxident. This hit me when you first posted it. I had just finished college, and I moved out for the first time. And I felt so alone. And this was the video that gave me the "hug" I needed. It said, "you're going to be okay". Thank you.
It’s incredible how enduring this song is. I’ll randomly think of it, put it on, and enjoy every second of it EVERY time. There are few songs that do that for me.
Man, this fan video has been in my life more years than it hasn't at this point. Thank you for a perfect cinematic representation of a song that had me aching for a time that doesn't exist anymore back when it still did exist. Hope you're doing well. It's crazy how long this website has been sround.
As a teenager I listened to this song fearing I wouldn't be able to feel this deeply as a grown up. Now in my 20's and my emotions still get in my way all the time, so no need to worry teen me.
Been returning to this video multiple times for maybe a decade or so now. Been listening to DC since the beginning and while The Brilliant Dance, Best Deceptions, Sharp Hint of New Tears and Places You Have Come to Fear the Most are most certainly my old favorites during my youth, the ones that usually stick to me long term are songs that I was able to relate to, one way or another. The scenery here are perfect for triggering nostalgia. Bless you for this video.
Such underrated band...incredible talent..i wrote an entire book while listening to their songs...is just something that cannot be explained in simple words. I am forever grateful for these amazing people who upload their music .
Saw this video I think way back 2006-7. Still one of the most amazing video that I've ever seen as for the whole theme and feel of the song. And now it has 1M views. Amazing slowmotionaxident. Kudos to you sir.
+Greggy Paez Thank you so much! I appreciate that! I haven't looked back at the video in a long time but I'm glad you remembered it and went back to watch it
Cut my toxic “friend” of 9 years off today. I realized she’s treated me like crap for years. I always text her first. She always left me out. I visited her for the first time in three years, and she treated me horribly. I will forget about her. She’s out of my life and listening to this feels so powerful right now.
the baseball field at 0:53 brings back so many memories that i actually cried. i remember playing on any kind of field we could find and it didnt matter....i can picture myself jus waiting ther in the dug out for my turn at bat....all the neighborhood kids would come out and play on a field jus like this..i remember being young and taking all day to find something to climb on or jump over...but even when there was nothing...there was always that baseball field........
I fell in love with this song when I first heard it and listened to it non-stop. Then, for some reason, I stopped listening to it. Now, it's like I re-discovered it=P I'm falling in love with it again. This song is just...perfection=)
I used to listen to this song and watched the video nearly every day in the summer of 2007. Still have vivid memories of it. Felt exactly like this video.
Again it's 2021, and i've come back to this video over and over, sharing it with people whom I know needs to see it at their point in life. Thank you again creator for making this video, I hope your life is as awesome as you deserve for making a video that has had more than a million unique plays, touching more than a million unique lives. Have a great rest of 2021! I continue to hope this video continues to exist to hit the people at the right time in their lives. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
i'm coming back to this video maybe over a year later... i remembered it because it is soooooo beautiful.. this should be the ACTUAL video to the song.. really well done.. god, i wish i lived there! it made the song a million times better =)
wait. so you recorded all of this!? you know besides the tsunami footage. thats amazing! i think you should have done that the whole way through though.
Amazing song, not sure if its just me but there's something about Adam Duritz' line in this song that touches me @1:42, ' the small of your back, nape of your neck, i remember everything as i drive, waving this town goodbye' maybe its just his voice and the emotion he puts into his songs, awesome!!! Dashboard & counting crows - The perfect combo!!!!!
I miss you. I miss everything we went through. We were best friends... happy, free... that summer that whole year I had with you, it was wonderful. But now it's gone, you found someone else... and to you, I'm not here anymore, I'm gone. You closed your heart to me and opened yours to his. You were the perfect one. So many things left unsaid... so much things that could have been, wasted. You walked into my life as fast as you left. Goodbye. I'll never forget you.
This song reminds me of all the good days back then. When everything was just plain and simple. unlike now. :( this song gets me all the time. Maybe part of nostalgia, but I would definitely would like to go back to the past and listen to this as it was just all simple. now listening to this song kind makes me emotional. I don't know why. :(
This song's about leaving, sometimes it's great to be leave... i feel the same how chris wrote it... it about leaving a hometown that you spent over a many years. and leaving someone you love... WAVING THIS TOWN GOODBYE. " I WAS HERE BUT NOW, I'M GONE ....only memories left.... thanks Dashboard COnfessional.... i really love this song... T.T
I just want you to know that this video made me discover this song! I stumbled apon it one night while i was a little um well HiGh but besides that. Which then made me realize how amazing this song is. It now is my favorite Dash song ever! Thank you thank you thank you so much...amazing video to go along with the song. God bless and best wishes to what the what this great world brings you.
for a moment i thought that this was the actual MV of this song. lol. cos its so nicely done up, just like what u see on MTV. Awesome! Great work and great song!
This video is awesome, it suits the song so well. Well done for making such a brilliant video, like has been said before you have a very artistic mind and can see beauty in things that others would'nt, yet when its done, everyone can see the beauty. Thank you.
So much better than a "fan vid." Very well done. Encourage MORE! You can feel/edit the images in perfect symmetry. In my favs, will watch again and share.
Wow. This is the perfect video for this song. The imagery perfectly matches the content & tone of the song. It's almost exactly how I imagined the video for this song should look like. If this ever gets released as single, the official video version has a lot to live up to.
You should be getting paid to do this. This is by far the best fan video I've seen on TH-cam. Pretty much exactly what I think the video for this song should look like.
Wow! Great video. I thought it was an actual video of Dashboard Confessional. The simplicity of the camera works and your choice of footage mixed with the music turned out to be very creative. It really does look great.
this is AMAZING! well done, this song reminds me of driving back to university after an amazong summer at home and the ictures just back this up perfectly . One of the best 'song' videos on youtube, keep it up!!
amazing! FIVE FREAKIN STARS! I don't usually give that much the most I have ever given is three but this was a great vid. Hope you make more for other songs.. oh and I would love to have you as a friend on youtube! Once again awesome job!
i really like the vid u did. reminds me of my hometown that i would do anything to go back to. maybe someday... this vid gave me a good feeling tho. : ) good job!
I've been looking for this song for probably ten years and FINALLY found it! Remember me my teenage years
Chris and Adam of Counting crows. Always blown away!

2023 & I'm 16 again laying on my bed writing in my journal listening to this song. Ahh times were much simpler then.
How could I not love this song?!!! It brings back so many memories....
It's 2023, and im still here. Thank you so much @slomotionaxident. This hit me when you first posted it. I had just finished college, and I moved out for the first time. And I felt so alone. And this was the video that gave me the "hug" I needed. It said, "you're going to be okay". Thank you.
Long time and still feel this song! MEMORIES!
It's been a while since you've been Taking your time taking this time waving this town.. good-bye.
It’s incredible how enduring this song is. I’ll randomly think of it, put it on, and enjoy every second of it EVERY time. There are few songs that do that for me.
such a somber song..reminds me of the end of summer, how the trees die and it gets colder..beautiful video in every respect
!
Glad to see how everyone shared the same feelings while watching or listening to this.
Last time I heard this song it was 2011.

Man, this fan video has been in my life more years than it hasn't at this point.

It's crazy how long this website has been sround.
I first heard this song at the beginning of my 2019 summer, that song kicked off one of the best summers I've ever had. Thank you for uploading this
That's Adam Duritz from the Counting Crows. Great song and two very powerful singers!
The backup singer for this is Adam Durtiz from Counting Crows
3:17 - "But now I'm goooooooooooooooonnnnnnnneeeeee... I'm gooooonnnne!!!!" Vintage Dashboard! Love it!
A wonderful man sent me this song as I drove away to college. I'm so happy with my new life and I really hope that you are too. Fantastic song!
My girl drove off to college and our energy towards each other is stronger

That is really pretty!!! I love it! Wherever this was filmed, it's beautiful!!!
This video is great I love the fact that it's tinted or whatever, it adds a great effect to it.
11 years since you amade this and i'm proud to say that as someone who was three when you made this i love it so much.
Wow! Great video. I thought it was an actual video of Dashboard Confessional. The simplicity of the camera works and your choice of footage mixed with the music turned out to be very creative. It really does look great.
I love this neighborhood. Reminds me of my old place. :)
this is AMAZING! well done, this song reminds me of driving back to university after an amazong summer at home and the ictures just back this up perfectly . One of the best 'song' videos on youtube, keep it up!!

I forgot how much I enjoyed this guy.
I love this song and the video could not be any better! Nice Job!!
One of the best d.c. songs. Adam makes it 💥
nice. fits the tone of the song. great song too.
my favorite part was " how the girls can turn to girls before your eyes" that was cool with the empty swing good job very well done
It took me such a long while to realize that this really isn't the official video! Nice job! =D
Awesome video,this is the kind of stuff I plan to do when I go to UT Austin(hopefully) and train in this kind of stuff.
i love watching this video with this song!
Exxcellent Video Creativity. Besides not having the band in it, it looks like an offical video. Love it.
