Holy shit so many of us were just teenagers 10 years ago. So much has happened for all of us, but we’re still subscribed and we still came back. That’s wonderful.
Right we’re all adults now so we have to be calm, collected and mature…. On that note I’ll be crying and fan girling in the corner for the next day until this video!! 😂😂
10 years! I'm 26 now, college didn't go to plan. I never ended up going to Uni. Spent 6 of those years with a girl who I thought was the one, we talked engagements but ended up splitting. Been with this girl now nearly 2 years. Life's going good. Looking to buy a house soon enough. Stable job in an industry I love. Dad beat cancer. A lot has changed in 10 years. I wonder how everyone else who was around 10 years ago is up to. Nice to see your face again 👍
life went totally different than i wanted ten years ago. college didn't happen instead i went into the workforce right away. followed love across the country, twice. changed career twice. drove completely across Canada in six days. met so many wonderful people. loved, lost, and loved again. almost got married. finally moved away from my toxic family. wow life has totally changed so much in ten years.
This title is making me cry, I swear. The way this references the last lines of your last TH-cam video when you stopped doing TH-cam. I'm speechless. Can't believe this is happening.
@Shakazamm honestly, this is me thinking positive. 🖤♥️ Because I'd love him to do TH-cam videos again. But I'd also love a tour of course! Just don't think he'd make a video about it on his channel.
10 years... I'm now 24, been through university, lived abroad, got a dog who means everything to me, spent years healing from trauma & years working in mental health. I remember watching you when I was young, full of anxiety, really depressed & just wanting to see someone who liked the same things as me that made me feel like I wasn't totally alone in this world. It's good to see you back, Patty❤
Glad to see you back & you overcoming your demons Patty. I still have the piece of paper with the set list you all had taped to your mic stands that Ben (I think) threw into the crowd when you played in Glasgow in 2018. Hopefully I'll catch a plectrum & a drumstick next time I see you play, I'm absolutely buzzing! Here's to the next 10 years 🙌
By 'around' I'm hoping you mean you're dropping a new cover around next week or so, I'd like some Patty does pop punk covers, it's kinda been a while...
i feel so nostalgic with the background and everything. im back in time istg. i vividly remember your "this isnt goodbye its just see you around" video. im so happy you're back Patty!! we missed you and your art
First - thank you for revealing the mystery behind the music wall 😭 absolutely wasn't on my bingo card even though the A\\ reunion was. More importantly, welcome back and thank you for continuing to share parts of your art and life with your silly little fan base. We've missed you.
It's so good to see you again. I discovered you on TH-cam, I can't even remember when. I spent my IT lessons listening to your covers on repeat. I watched your videos at home when I felt down because your infectious smile made me happy. I went to As It Is' first London show with a small group of friends; including my best friend Tish. We got there at 11am so we could be at the front and we were the only ones there for hours. All I remember is it being absolutely freezing and Tish being allowed to sit just inside the doors so she could warm up. The whole show, I spent in awe of watching the band live. We met you properly at a TH-cam meet up. I burst into tears when I saw you and I remember saying that you saved my life, because at the time, it really felt like it. You said that you didn't save my life and I shouldn't say that and, for God sake, you were fully right. Took me a few more years of therapy to actually figure that out. As It Is meant a lot to me. You and the rest of the guys were always so lovely to us. Tish and I went to Against the Current as As It Is were supporting. We ended up in the bar which you and the other guys were also using. I remember speaking to you and Dottie and the rest of the band. Can't remember the conversations as being a lovely young adult, I was very drunk. I remember Dottie complimenting my top and it made my day. But you were always so kind and funny and willing to chat. I probably apologised then but I am sorry for my messiness. But it was so good to see how down to earth you all were. Tish passed away last year rather unexpectedly. We went to a lot of your shows together. Found your music together. As It Is brought a lot of happiness to us. One of my favourite memories is sitting in her first car, before she passed her driving test, blasting Never Happy Ever After as loud as possible. Screaming the lyrics and making the car shake. We must of listened to the album at least 3 times over in that bloody car. So I thank you for that. I'm so happy that you are finding your way back to music. You made a big difference to a lot of people's lives. Just like all the fans made a massive difference to yours. I'm 26 now. And I feel exactly the same as I did 10 years ago. Fucking proud. I really wish you the best. It's so good to see and hear from you again. I cannot wait to see what is in store. Forever supporting everything you do. Always going to be cheering you on. Thank you.
God this made me so emotional. I remember being in like 15 and laying in my living room floor when I discovered you and your covers in front of the massive window watching cars drive by. Those covers got me through a lot back then so thank you for making them ❤️
10 years ago, When I was in elementary school and didn't have any burdens, I freely went to internet cafe's to watch all the bands on Warped Tour, including your band. Patty, As It Is. Thank you for all that memories. What a moment i've never forget.
Patty, I was someone who discovered you when As It Is was already a band. Please, take all the time you need to rebuild yourself and find happiness. If it ends up not being in music, that's okay! Thank you for making music and being vulnerable. To me, you are/were one of the people that I looked up to just like you have so many bands that you looked up to that came before. Thank you for being that. Take care of yourself!
I know you say in this video that without the music that there was only a small part of you left but i want to say that with that "small part of you" you still made people happy with your volunteer work i wont say what it was because i dont want to invade your privacy but you really helped a lot of people and talking personally you really helped me and everyone there loves you and you helped make a difference just by giving us someone to talk too and being there for us in a time of need we all wish you well and want to thank you for the time you spent with us
i introduced my partner to as it is and your covers recently, as well as all the band lore :) and it’s so insane to see this, i feel like an emo teenager again
I met you at playlist live 10 years ago. Right before never happy ever after was released, but right after this mine of mine. I am one of those fans with a lyric tattoo, you wrote it for me at playlist live. I remember when you made the last video in 2014, and I made all of my friends listen to as it is whenever I could, and we went on many adventures to come see yall perform. You changed my life and its path in so many ways. I’m 28 now and too much of an adult, but you came back when so many of us didn’t know we needed it. We’re glad you’re back, thank you ❤
This is wild. I remember seeing your goodbye video when I was 17 and still in college. I followed As It Is from day 1 and always have. 'okay.' remains one of my favourite albums of all time honestly and I find myself drawn back to it and the other albums time and time again. I do think I have a special and unique connection to As It Is. Maybe it's being subscribed to Patty since 2012, maybe it's seeing the formation of the band and feeling a part of that, maybe it's just the art itself resonating me, or maybe a combination of all those reasons but I think As It Is will always be one of my favourite bands. Seeing you back and creating art again is beautiful to see and hearing where you've been, how you've felt and what you've gone through personally is really touching. Excited for what's to come 💚💚
Sadly I have also lived through and know all too well about the impact of "when everything you've ever wanted doesn't fix everything that's broken". Great to see you back though, dude. Really doesn't feel like it's been 10 years since that last upload on this channel! Keep on taking care of yourself. ❤
I watched Patty for the first time when I saw his teenage dirtbag cover after listening to the 1D version. this is kinda parasocial but Patty is like the older brother I never had. I stole all my music taste from him, liked the same bands as him, got into warped tour and the pop-punk scene bc of him, wanted to be straight edge and play guitar bc of him, he was everything and single-handedly created my music taste and sense of identity since I was in middle school in 2013. Love Patty, Love As It Is, thank you for everything!
Thank you so much for all of the music the fun and the memories whether it was 10 years ago watching your covers or anxiously waiting for the future of your music. But most importantly, thank you for being you and showing myself and others that no matter what, we are not alone
I have no words for the feeling that came over me when I saw patty Walters upload. 10 years, that is insane. I’ve been waiting 10 years for this video and hoped it really was see you around. This has filled my child heart
I remember seeing your last video and feeling so sad but also so proud and excited to see where you'd go with aii, watching this now makes me feel the exact same way. I'm so sad for the hard times that you've been through but I'm proud to see how far you've come, what you've achieved and how hard you've clearly worked on trying to love yourself. That sh*t is not easy. I'm so excited to see where this all goes again with the added benefit of not being in our 20s. Sure, our knees crack when we move, but we also know our limits better. So whether we get more music and shows and videos or not, we'll be here supporting you all because that's what family does 🖤
Holy Shit, I was a teenager 10 years ago. So much has happened in these past 10 years, I decided not to kill myself and I have grown up and got a degree . I remember being obsessed with your music because it was my safe place. Thank you for coming back to us.
Congratulations on your degree and all the things you've accomplished. I'm so glad you are still here. You are cared for, appreciated, loved, and I hope you are proud of yourself. Sincerely, an internet stranger. ❤
I found your channel not long before you left, but was so happy to become a fan of As It Is. Saw you guys on your Australia tour in 2020 and felt so lucky to be a part of that community, or as you put it, family. It was within my first few days of moving from a small town into a new city for University; I was scared, alone and definitely new to concerts of any sort, but people were so welcoming and kind that I felt like I finally belonged somewhere. Your music got me through highschool, a bachelors degree and now a second degree, and it’ll always have a place in my heart ❤️ (A Song About A Girl will always be your best work though)
Who would have thought that a random guy making covers in TH-cam in 2012 would have this huge impact in my life for so many years. He still has. Thank you Patty. Thank you for opening your heart this way. I can’t stop crying thinking about how happy and valid you and the rest of as it is made me feel this past decade. And I’m so grateful for every damn time your music were either a lifesaver of my ugliest thoughts or the soundtrack of the happiest moments of my life. Your music and your shows were a safe space in times when things didn’t go well in my head and I’ll never find the words to express how grateful I am. All my best wishes for you guys in this new era, I’m sure you still will make people happy (including myself) but mostly you will find your way to make yourself happy. I’m so proud of you, thank you for this. See you around 🖤
I started to know your videos and the as it is songs since I was 15, thanks to you I grew up with a personality and dreams that I haven't changes, even now as I define myself as a different person in 2024, we all grow up and change, but our souls define who we are and what we want in life, thanks to being here with us again, thanks for giving us the community we wanted 🖤
Hey Patty, I found your channel back in 2014 and became a fan instantly. Not only do I have all As It Is albums on vinyl, but your covers on here helped me learn about bands I'd somehow missed like The Click Five, The Summer Set, and All Time Low. I was literally playing Still Remembering on my guitar last night. I've seen all my favorite bands live except yours and it was a huge regret that I'm now hopeful to fix one day! Thank you for putting your art out there for us!
So awesome to see you're back, and that the band is getting back together! I honestly can't wait. I think the way you're feeling about music, life and your connection to people at the moment gives you a really cool opportunity to make lots more meaningful music. Putting all of your experiences and feelings into it will definitely produce something really special! And also, on a separate note, you could/should use the little guitar riff you had in the outro of your "it's not goodbye, it's just see you around" video in one of your new songs. I feel it'd be such a beautiful base for a song - I've been cherishing it for the past 10 years. :)
I remember finding you from your TH-cam covers back before your band blew up. I didn’t follow you enough to realize you found some success. So I was happily surprised when I realized listening to “Stigma” that it was the same Patty Walter’s from TH-cam. And now it’s a pleasant surprise to find you again on TH-cam. Thanks for sharing your life update!
It's so good to see you again. Its crazy how fast the years go but i felt like a teenager again seeing that wall. Have followed the journey for years, was so glad to get to see you at Warped tour back in 2015 after having followed your channel for some time. Thanks for the memories, and best of wishes for the future!
After watching your videos for years in highschool, I'm know watching this with my newborn son in my arms, And you and every other member of As it is helped give me the strength to get to this better part of life
I was literally looking up the this is Halloween cover as I listened to it every October and saw the upload from 22 hours ago and when I tell you I was caught off guard, the hard work from the past 10 years has been crazy awesome
You have no idea how much your videos and your music have meant for me, Patty. More than 10 years ago, you inspired me to start my own channel, to work on my music, and now that I'm glad to be doing that almost full time, I can see how hard it is to keep that spark alive. I don't know if you'll ever read this, but your covers and As It Is helped me so much throughout my highschool years to just not give up on myself in a world that felt like it was doing so... I always knew you'd come back to youtube and I'm glad you have. Take your time, take it day by day, and no matter what, you have a family made up of millions of people out there who are going to be here for you. Thank you for everything and I can't wait what you do next.
Life has been rough my man, I've been through a lot of shit myself these last 10 years. Stay strong. We got your back. Also, new As It Is music with the original lineup? Holy, I'm In.
I used to love watching you on here- had so many songs and bands I found through your covers. And then listened to As It Is and came to see yous in Glasgow so long ago. Mental seeing you back here now ❤
I started watching your journey when I was 17. I’m 27 now and JUST started my own journey in music and I owe a lot of my drive to YOU specifically. Above idols from bands like Black Veil Brides, Pierce The Veil, Sleeping With Sirens and even Linkin Park; it was YOUR journey that showed a special kind of reality in this crazy world. YOUR authenticity was what drew me here in the first place and it continues to inspire me to always stay true to myself NO MATTER WHAT and words will NEVER describe just how grateful I am that you exist.
I subscribed to this channel well over a decade ago, 13 and broken. Now in my mid twenties, happy and healthy, getting to see a Patty W video pop up feels like a hug from an old friend, or like wearing a well-loved sweater for the first time in ages. See you around, indeed.
Welcome back patty! 10 years ago you inspired me to chase my own creative dreams both with videos and music I couldn’t be happier to see you back at this point in my life still chasing both these dreams. Thank you for everything
I saw this pop up on my Xbox before bed last night and I needed a whole day to process it before I could actually bring myself to watch this I remember watching your goodbye video 10 years ago I was barely 13 and so incredibly proud of you and as it is and now seeing you back here after following you on that journey from Australia now seeing it all come full circle is so incredibly surreal for me and I’m sure you my life has changed so much I’m 22 I’ve been through immense loss and so many changes lost friendships I met at your shows or through your videos that I thought would last forever, this isn’t goodbye just see you around was one of the lines I used at my own mummas funeral just this year Hi patty, welcome home never forever how many people you’ve reached and forever will continue too
Ten years ago I found your content, then your band, and it’s gotten me through a lot in life and helped me grow and get better and realize a lot of things about myself. 26 now and I’m so happy to have been along for the journey
Patty, you are an absolutely INCREDIBLE force within this world. I remember meeting you at your show in Buffalo all those many years ago, and getting able to get coffee and just speak with you was a highlight I will surely never forget. Your decade of growth, perserverence, ups and downs...can't even be quantified. So happy to see your face again, even if momentary. Keep on keeping on man.
I‘m watching this one day after getting notice of when I can start my stay at the psych ward.. after having struggled with my mental health for I don‘t even know how long. but I remember watching that last video of yours 10 years ago & what I do know is I definitely wasn‘t in a good place then. so watching this video now, with this timing aswell.. damn that gives me hope. thank you for sharing, and I‘m so happy you‘re back & I can‘t wait to see what‘s next for you and the band 🫶🏼
I met you and had be blessing of being able to meet you a couple times when y’all came to Australia. Thank you. There’s so much I want so say but just thank you. Your music and its impact it’s had on me is one words cannot describe. I will listen to your music for years to come. Please take care we love you!
you were (and are) such an inspiration for me; i remember being in high school looking up to u and As It Is; you were one of the first people that made me accept myself through your vlogs bc i related a lot with you and and i was like "this guy it's like me but he's so confident, cool and makes music that i love". it's being a while... idk if that lil kid would be proud or even happy with the persona i'd become but, in this dark times for me, its so good to have you and the guys back. happy to know you're in a better place emotionally, thnx 4 everything.
The moment I landed on TH-cam homepage and saw this video uploaded, it brought smile to my face. Those times I was watching your videos I was just starting on with high school, today I see this video and I'm starting to build my own family, life really feels crazy. Good luck w everything Patty, live life at your fullest guys!
I have gotten to see you guys on warped tour, on your headline show at chain reaction, and I’ve been following you through this entire journey from the beginning. It’s crazy to believe I was 17 when your journey began and I’m not 27 and still blasting As It Is loud as hell through my speakers.
seeing this pop up in my feed covered me in goose bumps, i remember hearing Concrete for the first time and it still hits the same today. i cant believe its been over 10 years since i first heard you cover im not okay, god i feel old
jesus christ it's been 10 years already?? Crazy.... Randomly came back to listen to the This is Halloween cover just now and came across this video. Time flew by so fast... Love that you went to therapy and got help. Sending all the love, support, and prayers that you decide where you want to go from here, and that it makes you happy. You may have brought happiness to us all, but I hope that you can be happy too; that's what we would want for you. Please be happy!
IM SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU!!!!! I have to play your cover of this is Halloween every year in October sometimes multiple times a day! I cant wait to see what you have in store for us and I hope you find what you need in the chaos of it all
Thank you for sharing your journey with us and being so honest about your emotions. I think any "fan" had come to peace with you stepping away from music, but we're sure as hell glad to see you back, and HAPPY. Can't wait for this new chapter!!
😥 Remembered watching patty walters covers daily when I was 15 year old, I'm 26 now & still re watch "somewhere in neverland cover" It's crazy after all those years I still re-watch the covers on this channel & listened to AS IT IS Okay. & The great depression Album.
Hi. you made me cry at work, while I was watching this. i was not prepared for it. I’ve been around for 9 years, since when I first heard Dial Tones on Idobi Radio. I became a huge fangirl in 2016 after seeing you live for the first time and it kinda changed my life a little bit. I am utterly happy, I found you. You were there for me, when I was growing up. I felt understood. I felt like finally someone got all the pain I was feeling. And that someone understood that even though everything should techinically be fine, because everything’s fine on paper, i was still not well. Your music always felt like home. I loved how it felt like there was so much emotion in your songs and you just stayed true to what you were feeling, even if it meant venturing out in a few new directions. everything you did, always felt genuine. so, when you announced your break from social media and the music industry, obviously, i was devestated. but I respected it so much, because deep in my heart, I felt that you were not doing well. it was the best thing to do for yourself and I am actually very proud of you for putting yourself (and the tiny part that was still there without the music) first. so I’m happy you’re putting yourself and your thoughts out there again because i feel like you’ve got so many beautiful, fascinating, smart and interesting things to say and are so emotionally intelligent. so I just love to hear you talk and think about the things you’re saying, feeling and thinking. It always takes me to so many corner of my head that I forgot were there and broadens my horizon. I am utterly happy to hear, that you found stability, because when I started listening to your music, I was 18 and I’m 28 now. So I was also a different person back then, when I started listening to your music. I experienced so much pain and growing and learning and therapy in those 10 years and you helped me go through it and feel understood. So I’ll always have a place for you in my heart, because you’re part of the reason why I am, who I am and helped me grow. I’m also grateful you uploaded this. I can’t even comunicate and put into words all the things I’m feeling right now, because it’s such a mixture of gratefulness, sadness, nostalgia, excitement (for what’s to come) and also happiness (for you finding your place in this crazy world). I feel like that sounds stupid, but it’s beautiful feeling this way. Thank you.
Thank you for all the memories too. You've no idea how happy I was to hear you'll be playing with the guys again at Slam Dunk next year.. even with all the huge bands on the line up, I'm most excited to be seeing As It Is and celebrating how all of us have grown. ❤
Patty, both your channel and As it is were there for me when I really needed it. Even now when I’m having a hard time I go and listen to certain songs or watch certain videos that just make me smile. I’ve met you and your band mates in person a couple times and you were all always such a standout to me with how much care you showed towards your fans. I had this idea when I was like 16 that I wanted some of your lyrics tattooed but I wanted it in your handwriting so I never ended up getting it. Maybe I’ll just pick a nice font and get it anyway now cause the lyrics still hit the same as they always did.
you've come so far and I'll always be proud of you, Patty! It's been crazy to see you from TH-cam, to Spotify, to the stage in person, to winning awards (congrats, icon!)!!
seeing that background after all this years made me feel some kind of way! still here 10 years after. i saw you live when you came to madrid as State champs 's opening act and i would give anything to see you live again. thank you for all this years. i love you and im so happy your back!
As it is has been my favorite band since I was 14 and I used to watch this channel all the time because it always inspired me and calmed me down. I actually flipped when I saw you had uploaded and I’m so happy you and as it is are back. Since I was 14 y’all have inspired me beyond words to start my own projects and play shows and do more than I ever thought I could. I can’t express how amazing the impact of your music and presence has been on my life thank you!
Just finished the video and can say that your and the bands presence was always so helpful to me. Your constant discourse around the stigma of mental health was really helpful to me growing up feeling like It was wrong to feel the things I did and be the way I was. Not only your music but the interviews, the messages behind it all and just the art you made was always so important to me. Not just the music but everything the band and you were made me happy, helped me through panic attacks, inspired me and was always something I knew I could put on and feel safe and calm down or listen to before I had to go on stage to get hyped up. I know this is long and rambling but I’m 20 now and seeing you live when I was 14 changed me forever and I will never forget how much you inspired me.
I’m so glad you made another video. I love watching your covers back in highschool. Now I’m an adult sitting at my adult job. I saw you live with As it Is. It was a dream came true. Your music helped change my life and it’s so nice to see you come back.
I remember being 15 and watching all the covers you used to do, I'm 25 and an archaeologist now with my own flat! Life comes at us fast we're all proud of you
10 year is crazy ...like I remember watching your TH-cam channel and listening to the band music in middle school and like now ...now im in my 20s , time Flys...thank you for so many charis memory's ❤
We're the same age, and I remember being so stoked for you when As It Is signed with Fearless and seeing the places the world took you. I've felt the turbulence of it all in my own respects, both in my music career and private life, and a lot of what you've said definitely resonates here. Glad you checked in. See you around, Patty.
The albums on the wall behind you that helped you through a lot and taught you a lot about yourself.. Those things become a part of you. But for a lot of us, your albums would be on our wall. Thanks for being on my wall.
I never comment on TH-cam videos but I feel like I have to. When you released that video 10 years ago I was 14 miserable & was desperate to escape myself. I loved as it is, went to multiple shows, had my introduction to the live music scene which has become one of the great joys of my life. Now I’m 24 with two degrees (still can’t believe that) and engaged to the love of my life. Wow life has changed so much. Happy to see you again, an As It Is comeback feels like holding hands with my teenage self. This is all very brave and wonderful.
thank you so much for the millionth time for everything you and your art (whether it’s youtube or the band or the podcast) have done for me. i used to come on here every day at school and listen to your covers in my study halls RELIGIOUSLY. i had a bunch of them downloaded on my phone and everything they were everything to me. i will never be able to adequately put into words how seem and safe and supported this family has made me feel. big big big love forever and ever 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Been coming back every year for the last 10 years to check if you’d posted yet - so glad that I decided to conduct my yearly check-in today of all days 🥺❤️
I found your channel in 2013 when I was looking for sleeping with sirens covers 😭 as soon as dial tones came out, as it is immediately went into my top 3 favorite bands. Warped tour came, then yall opened for mayday parade with real friends and I crowd surfed for the first time ever during that show at Starland Ballroom. 10 years later, I’m 26, went through different living situations, addiction, lost relationships, career changes, but one thing that’s remained are my memories- Never Happy was the soundtrack of my life for a while 💖
I watched the goodbye video when it first came out. 10 years later I can honestly. I don’t know who I’d be without your music. As it is has always spoken to me like no other music has. Every song on never happy… resonated with me. Thank you for all that you do, and all that you are. Can’t wait to see what the next year brings for the band and us fans. ♥️/\\\ ❌
I watch you the two times you came to spain and those were the most great times in a show, I keep the okay signed album as a treassure in my collection
patty, you have been and remain one of the most inspirational figures in my life for the past 10 years - i got into your videos around 10-12 years ago (!!?) and never happy was one of the albums that got me into pop punk and eventually onto emo, post-hardcore, etc. your covers introduced me to some of my favourite bands. you introduced me to the concept of straight edge and put words and a name to what i was feeling. as it is has been a life-changing band for me and im one of the ones with lyrics tattooed. :) i hope you’ve been doing well and taking care of yourself and enjoying life.i’ve always admired your authenticity in your videos and i’m glad you still are displaying your emotions and values in the same way. i know your younger self would be proud. was half expecting the oceans/lakes guitar to come in at the end for old times sake, haha. i hope this new /\\\ era is fulfilling for you and that you prioritize your healing and recovery above all else. xoxox
I remember watching your videos back in the day and then finally seeing you guys on the 2015 warped tour. I have so much love and support for you and the band 🫶🏻🫶🏻
Holy shit so many of us were just teenagers 10 years ago. So much has happened for all of us, but we’re still subscribed and we still came back. That’s wonderful.
But you shouldn't use bad words

Exactly what I wanted to comment ^^^
Tell me about it I loved alot of zombies youtubers still subscribed and hope they coming back
Hey, it's Patty Walters, that guy who does covers! I hope he covers As It Is; that band rocks!
Right we’re all adults now so we have to be calm, collected and mature…. On that note I’ll be crying and fan girling in the corner for the next day until this video!! 😂😂
Calm and collected? Never met her
10 years! I'm 26 now, college didn't go to plan. I never ended up going to Uni. Spent 6 of those years with a girl who I thought was the one, we talked engagements but ended up splitting. Been with this girl now nearly 2 years. Life's going good. Looking to buy a house soon enough. Stable job in an industry I love. Dad beat cancer. A lot has changed in 10 years. I wonder how everyone else who was around 10 years ago is up to. Nice to see your face again 👍
life went totally different than i wanted ten years ago. college didn't happen instead i went into the workforce right away. followed love across the country, twice. changed career twice. drove completely across Canada in six days. met so many wonderful people. loved, lost, and loved again. almost got married. finally moved away from my toxic family. wow life has totally changed so much in ten years.
“This isn’t goodbye, it’s just see you around,” was my senior quote from your last video. Still a fan 10 years later
We got Patty coming back before GTA6 let's fucking go 🔥🔥🔥
i remember watching your goodbye video on the way to high school when i was 14. this is so crazy lol
Same here, I was 14 and now I’m married with our 3rd child due in March!! 😂😂
@@Becky-99 Congratulations!!!! 🥳
Same lol, I’d just woken up and this was the first thing I watched before I left to go to school
From crying on the bus to school to crying at my 8-5 job. How time flies
Hey patty I joined when I found your this is Halloween cover . I was wondering when you'd come back
This title is making me cry, I swear. The way this references the last lines of your last TH-cam video when you stopped doing TH-cam. I'm speechless. Can't believe this is happening.
ORRRR "see you around" could be hinting towards a tour!?!?!? Think positive
@@ShakazammI mean, would be cool but I feel like this would be on the As It Is channel then?
@Shakazamm honestly, this is me thinking positive. 🖤♥️ Because I'd love him to do TH-cam videos again. But I'd also love a tour of course! Just don't think he'd make a video about it on his channel.
Also, that this is the exact same day just ten years later than the last video, can't be a coincidence.
@@liselordhonigkuchen6725 Yea that makes sense. Guess we will find out in about 15 hours
we are so back baby!!! IT'S ONLY BEEN 10 YEARS
HOW HAS IT BEEN 10 YEARS I FEEL SO OLD
10 years... I'm now 24, been through university, lived abroad, got a dog who means everything to me, spent years healing from trauma & years working in mental health. I remember watching you when I was young, full of anxiety, really depressed & just wanting to see someone who liked the same things as me that made me feel like I wasn't totally alone in this world. It's good to see you back, Patty❤
Glad to see you back & you overcoming your demons Patty.
I still have the piece of paper with the set list you all had taped to your mic stands that Ben (I think) threw into the crowd when you played in Glasgow in 2018. Hopefully I'll catch a plectrum & a drumstick next time I see you play, I'm absolutely buzzing!
Here's to the next 10 years 🙌
By 'around' I'm hoping you mean you're dropping a new cover around next week or so, I'd like some Patty does pop punk covers, it's kinda been a while...
I am going to cry the last time you posted I just graduated from high school and now I have my own apartment this was such a throwback
"Treasure your naivety and your stupidity, and truly live before you die" -Patty Walters
i feel so nostalgic with the background and everything. im back in time istg. i vividly remember your "this isnt goodbye its just see you around" video. im so happy you're back Patty!! we missed you and your art
First - thank you for revealing the mystery behind the music wall 😭 absolutely wasn't on my bingo card even though the A\\ reunion was. More importantly, welcome back and thank you for continuing to share parts of your art and life with your silly little fan base. We've missed you.
It's so good to see you again. I discovered you on TH-cam, I can't even remember when. I spent my IT lessons listening to your covers on repeat. I watched your videos at home when I felt down because your infectious smile made me happy.
I went to As It Is' first London show with a small group of friends; including my best friend Tish. We got there at 11am so we could be at the front and we were the only ones there for hours. All I remember is it being absolutely freezing and Tish being allowed to sit just inside the doors so she could warm up. The whole show, I spent in awe of watching the band live. We met you properly at a TH-cam meet up. I burst into tears when I saw you and I remember saying that you saved my life, because at the time, it really felt like it. You said that you didn't save my life and I shouldn't say that and, for God sake, you were fully right. Took me a few more years of therapy to actually figure that out. As It Is meant a lot to me. You and the rest of the guys were always so lovely to us. Tish and I went to Against the Current as As It Is were supporting. We ended up in the bar which you and the other guys were also using. I remember speaking to you and Dottie and the rest of the band. Can't remember the conversations as being a lovely young adult, I was very drunk. I remember Dottie complimenting my top and it made my day. But you were always so kind and funny and willing to chat. I probably apologised then but I am sorry for my messiness. But it was so good to see how down to earth you all were.
Tish passed away last year rather unexpectedly. We went to a lot of your shows together. Found your music together. As It Is brought a lot of happiness to us. One of my favourite memories is sitting in her first car, before she passed her driving test, blasting Never Happy Ever After as loud as possible. Screaming the lyrics and making the car shake. We must of listened to the album at least 3 times over in that bloody car.
So I thank you for that. I'm so happy that you are finding your way back to music. You made a big difference to a lot of people's lives. Just like all the fans made a massive difference to yours. I'm 26 now. And I feel exactly the same as I did 10 years ago. Fucking proud. I really wish you the best. It's so good to see and hear from you again. I cannot wait to see what is in store. Forever supporting everything you do. Always going to be cheering you on. Thank you.
Thank you, Patty. Being this open isn’t easy. We are proud of who you are, where you’ve been, and where you’re going. Keep doing you 🫶🏻
God this made me so emotional. I remember being in like 15 and laying in my living room floor when I discovered you and your covers in front of the massive window watching cars drive by. Those covers got me through a lot back then so thank you for making them ❤️
10 years ago, When I was in elementary school and didn't have any burdens, I freely went to internet cafe's to watch all the bands on Warped Tour, including your band. Patty, As It Is. Thank you for all that memories. What a moment i've never forget.
Patty, I was someone who discovered you when As It Is was already a band. Please, take all the time you need to rebuild yourself and find happiness. If it ends up not being in music, that's okay! Thank you for making music and being vulnerable. To me, you are/were one of the people that I looked up to just like you have so many bands that you looked up to that came before. Thank you for being that. Take care of yourself!
I know you say in this video that without the music that there was only a small part of you left but i want to say that with that "small part of you" you still made people happy with your volunteer work i wont say what it was because i dont want to invade your privacy but you really helped a lot of people and talking personally you really helped me and everyone there loves you and you helped make a difference just by giving us someone to talk too and being there for us in a time of need we all wish you well and want to thank you for the time you spent with us
We’ve come full circle. An incredible circle
i introduced my partner to as it is and your covers recently, as well as all the band lore :) and it’s so insane to see this, i feel like an emo teenager again
I met you at playlist live 10 years ago. Right before never happy ever after was released, but right after this mine of mine. I am one of those fans with a lyric tattoo, you wrote it for me at playlist live. I remember when you made the last video in 2014, and I made all of my friends listen to as it is whenever I could, and we went on many adventures to come see yall perform. You changed my life and its path in so many ways. I’m 28 now and too much of an adult, but you came back when so many of us didn’t know we needed it. We’re glad you’re back, thank you ❤
This is wild. I remember seeing your goodbye video when I was 17 and still in college. I followed As It Is from day 1 and always have. 'okay.' remains one of my favourite albums of all time honestly and I find myself drawn back to it and the other albums time and time again. I do think I have a special and unique connection to As It Is. Maybe it's being subscribed to Patty since 2012, maybe it's seeing the formation of the band and feeling a part of that, maybe it's just the art itself resonating me, or maybe a combination of all those reasons but I think As It Is will always be one of my favourite bands. Seeing you back and creating art again is beautiful to see and hearing where you've been, how you've felt and what you've gone through personally is really touching. Excited for what's to come 💚💚
ICONIC 2014 ROOM IS BACK
Sadly I have also lived through and know all too well about the impact of "when everything you've ever wanted doesn't fix everything that's broken". Great to see you back though, dude. Really doesn't feel like it's been 10 years since that last upload on this channel! Keep on taking care of yourself. ❤
I watched Patty for the first time when I saw his teenage dirtbag cover after listening to the 1D version. this is kinda parasocial but Patty is like the older brother I never had. I stole all my music taste from him, liked the same bands as him, got into warped tour and the pop-punk scene bc of him, wanted to be straight edge and play guitar bc of him, he was everything and single-handedly created my music taste and sense of identity since I was in middle school in 2013. Love Patty, Love As It Is, thank you for everything!
Thank you so much for all of the music the fun and the memories whether it was 10 years ago watching your covers or anxiously waiting for the future of your music. But most importantly, thank you for being you and showing myself and others that no matter what, we are not alone
I have no words for the feeling that came over me when I saw patty Walters upload. 10 years, that is insane. I’ve been waiting 10 years for this video and hoped it really was see you around. This has filled my child heart
I swear listening to Patty talk is like poetry
I remember seeing your last video and feeling so sad but also so proud and excited to see where you'd go with aii, watching this now makes me feel the exact same way. I'm so sad for the hard times that you've been through but I'm proud to see how far you've come, what you've achieved and how hard you've clearly worked on trying to love yourself. That sh*t is not easy. I'm so excited to see where this all goes again with the added benefit of not being in our 20s. Sure, our knees crack when we move, but we also know our limits better. So whether we get more music and shows and videos or not, we'll be here supporting you all because that's what family does 🖤
Glad you're back Patty can't wait for new As It Is and hopefully some more videos on TH-cam. I'm glad you've rediscovered your love for music!
Holy Shit, I was a teenager 10 years ago. So much has happened in these past 10 years, I decided not to kill myself and I have grown up and got a degree . I remember being obsessed with your music because it was my safe place. Thank you for coming back to us.
Congratulations on your degree and all the things you've accomplished. I'm so glad you are still here. You are cared for, appreciated, loved, and I hope you are proud of yourself.
Sincerely, an internet stranger. ❤
I found your channel not long before you left, but was so happy to become a fan of As It Is. Saw you guys on your Australia tour in 2020 and felt so lucky to be a part of that community, or as you put it, family. It was within my first few days of moving from a small town into a new city for University; I was scared, alone and definitely new to concerts of any sort, but people were so welcoming and kind that I felt like I finally belonged somewhere. Your music got me through highschool, a bachelors degree and now a second degree, and it’ll always have a place in my heart ❤️
(A Song About A Girl will always be your best work though)
Who would have thought that a random guy making covers in TH-cam in 2012 would have this huge impact in my life for so many years. He still has. Thank you Patty. Thank you for opening your heart this way. I can’t stop crying thinking about how happy and valid you and the rest of as it is made me feel this past decade. And I’m so grateful for every damn time your music were either a lifesaver of my ugliest thoughts or the soundtrack of the happiest moments of my life. Your music and your shows were a safe space in times when things didn’t go well in my head and I’ll never find the words to express how grateful I am.
All my best wishes for you guys in this new era, I’m sure you still will make people happy (including myself) but mostly you will find your way to make yourself happy. I’m so proud of you, thank you for this. See you around 🖤
I started to know your videos and the as it is songs since I was 15, thanks to you I grew up with a personality and dreams that I haven't changes, even now as I define myself as a different person in 2024, we all grow up and change, but our souls define who we are and what we want in life, thanks to being here with us again, thanks for giving us the community we wanted 🖤
Hey Patty, I found your channel back in 2014 and became a fan instantly. Not only do I have all As It Is albums on vinyl, but your covers on here helped me learn about bands I'd somehow missed like The Click Five, The Summer Set, and All Time Low. I was literally playing Still Remembering on my guitar last night. I've seen all my favorite bands live except yours and it was a huge regret that I'm now hopeful to fix one day! Thank you for putting your art out there for us!
So awesome to see you're back, and that the band is getting back together! I honestly can't wait. I think the way you're feeling about music, life and your connection to people at the moment gives you a really cool opportunity to make lots more meaningful music. Putting all of your experiences and feelings into it will definitely produce something really special!
And also, on a separate note, you could/should use the little guitar riff you had in the outro of your "it's not goodbye, it's just see you around" video in one of your new songs. I feel it'd be such a beautiful base for a song - I've been cherishing it for the past 10 years. :)
I remember finding you from your TH-cam covers back before your band blew up. I didn’t follow you enough to realize you found some success. So I was happily surprised when I realized listening to “Stigma” that it was the same Patty Walter’s from TH-cam. And now it’s a pleasant surprise to find you again on TH-cam. Thanks for sharing your life update!
It's so good to see you again. Its crazy how fast the years go but i felt like a teenager again seeing that wall. Have followed the journey for years, was so glad to get to see you at Warped tour back in 2015 after having followed your channel for some time. Thanks for the memories, and best of wishes for the future!
After watching your videos for years in highschool, I'm know watching this with my newborn son in my arms, And you and every other member of As it is helped give me the strength to get to this better part of life
Dude.. it was nice to meet you in a crowd time to time just hanging around and supporting bands.. real GOAT!!!
I was literally looking up the this is Halloween cover as I listened to it every October and saw the upload from 22 hours ago and when I tell you I was caught off guard, the hard work from the past 10 years has been crazy awesome
Can’t believe the goodbye video was 10 years ago, I bawled my eyes out at the time, feels so nostalgic to see that background again ❤️
You have no idea how much your videos and your music have meant for me, Patty. More than 10 years ago, you inspired me to start my own channel, to work on my music, and now that I'm glad to be doing that almost full time, I can see how hard it is to keep that spark alive. I don't know if you'll ever read this, but your covers and As It Is helped me so much throughout my highschool years to just not give up on myself in a world that felt like it was doing so... I always knew you'd come back to youtube and I'm glad you have. Take your time, take it day by day, and no matter what, you have a family made up of millions of people out there who are going to be here for you. Thank you for everything and I can't wait what you do next.
Man, reading some of the comments, Its crazy to think that we were kids back then, and now here we are back as adults. Where did time go?😅
Life has been rough my man, I've been through a lot of shit myself these last 10 years. Stay strong. We got your back. Also, new As It Is music with the original lineup? Holy, I'm In.
I used to love watching you on here- had so many songs and bands I found through your covers. And then listened to As It Is and came to see yous in Glasgow so long ago. Mental seeing you back here now ❤
I started watching your journey when I was 17. I’m 27 now and JUST started my own journey in music and I owe a lot of my drive to YOU specifically. Above idols from bands like Black Veil Brides, Pierce The Veil, Sleeping With Sirens and even Linkin Park; it was YOUR journey that showed a special kind of reality in this crazy world. YOUR authenticity was what drew me here in the first place and it continues to inspire me to always stay true to myself NO MATTER WHAT and words will NEVER describe just how grateful I am that you exist.
Happy to hear from you! Still blasting your old tunes to this day!
I subscribed to this channel well over a decade ago, 13 and broken. Now in my mid twenties, happy and healthy, getting to see a Patty W video pop up feels like a hug from an old friend, or like wearing a well-loved sweater for the first time in ages. See you around, indeed.
Welcome back patty! 10 years ago you inspired me to chase my own creative dreams both with videos and music I couldn’t be happier to see you back at this point in my life still chasing both these dreams. Thank you for everything
It's been ten years since I met you too 🥺 this is insane
I saw this pop up on my Xbox before bed last night and I needed a whole day to process it before I could actually bring myself to watch this
I remember watching your goodbye video 10 years ago I was barely 13 and so incredibly proud of you and as it is and now seeing you back here after following you on that journey from Australia now seeing it all come full circle is so incredibly surreal for me and I’m sure you my life has changed so much I’m 22 I’ve been through immense loss and so many changes lost friendships I met at your shows or through your videos that I thought would last forever, this isn’t goodbye just see you around was one of the lines I used at my own mummas funeral just this year
Hi patty, welcome home never forever how many people you’ve reached and forever will continue too
Ten years ago I found your content, then your band, and it’s gotten me through a lot in life and helped me grow and get better and realize a lot of things about myself. 26 now and I’m so happy to have been along for the journey
so proud of you, thank you for helping me through so much, and i’m so glad you got the support you needed, too. ❤
Patty, you are an absolutely INCREDIBLE force within this world. I remember meeting you at your show in Buffalo all those many years ago, and getting able to get coffee and just speak with you was a highlight I will surely never forget. Your decade of growth, perserverence, ups and downs...can't even be quantified. So happy to see your face again, even if momentary. Keep on keeping on man.
I‘m watching this one day after getting notice of when I can start my stay at the psych ward.. after having struggled with my mental health for I don‘t even know how long. but I remember watching that last video of yours 10 years ago & what I do know is I definitely wasn‘t in a good place then. so watching this video now, with this timing aswell.. damn that gives me hope. thank you for sharing, and I‘m so happy you‘re back & I can‘t wait to see what‘s next for you and the band 🫶🏼
I met you and had be blessing of being able to meet you a couple times when y’all came to Australia. Thank you. There’s so much I want so say but just thank you. Your music and its impact it’s had on me is one words cannot describe. I will listen to your music for years to come. Please take care we love you!
you were (and are) such an inspiration for me; i remember being in high school looking up to u and As It Is; you were one of the first people that made me accept myself through your vlogs bc i related a lot with you and and i was like "this guy it's like me but he's so confident, cool and makes music that i love". it's being a while... idk if that lil kid would be proud or even happy with the persona i'd become but, in this dark times for me, its so good to have you and the guys back.
happy to know you're in a better place emotionally, thnx 4 everything.
The moment I landed on TH-cam homepage and saw this video uploaded, it brought smile to my face. Those times I was watching your videos I was just starting on with high school, today I see this video and I'm starting to build my own family, life really feels crazy. Good luck w everything Patty, live life at your fullest guys!
I have gotten to see you guys on warped tour, on your headline show at chain reaction, and I’ve been following you through this entire journey from the beginning. It’s crazy to believe I was 17 when your journey began and I’m not 27 and still blasting As It Is loud as hell through my speakers.
Let's go!!!! I watch your Metro Station and Swing Life Away covers all the time.
Big love man, I’m glad you’ve been able to help yourself. keep going, you’re doing amazing and we’ll all support you, no matter what❤️
Been following since high school, I’m 29 now ❤
seeing this pop up in my feed covered me in goose bumps, i remember hearing Concrete for the first time and it still hits the same today.
i cant believe its been over 10 years since i first heard you cover im not okay, god i feel old
You popped up on suggested videos. I’ve never heard of you, but thank you for sharing your journey 🙏 I’m happy you’re creating music again
jesus christ it's been 10 years already?? Crazy.... Randomly came back to listen to the This is Halloween cover just now and came across this video. Time flew by so fast...
Love that you went to therapy and got help. Sending all the love, support, and prayers that you decide where you want to go from here, and that it makes you happy. You may have brought happiness to us all, but I hope that you can be happy too; that's what we would want for you. Please be happy!
IM SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU!!!!! I have to play your cover of this is Halloween every year in October sometimes multiple times a day! I cant wait to see what you have in store for us and I hope you find what you need in the chaos of it all
Thank you for sharing your journey with us and being so honest about your emotions. I think any "fan" had come to peace with you stepping away from music, but we're sure as hell glad to see you back, and HAPPY. Can't wait for this new chapter!!
😥 Remembered watching patty walters covers daily when I was 15 year old, I'm 26 now & still re watch "somewhere in neverland cover"
It's crazy after all those years I still re-watch the covers on this channel & listened to AS IT IS Okay. & The great depression Album.
Hi. you made me cry at work, while I was watching this. i was not prepared for it. I’ve been around for 9 years, since when I first heard Dial Tones on Idobi Radio. I became a huge fangirl in 2016 after seeing you live for the first time and it kinda changed my life a little bit. I am utterly happy, I found you. You were there for me, when I was growing up. I felt understood. I felt like finally someone got all the pain I was feeling. And that someone understood that even though everything should techinically be fine, because everything’s fine on paper, i was still not well. Your music always felt like home. I loved how it felt like there was so much emotion in your songs and you just stayed true to what you were feeling, even if it meant venturing out in a few new directions. everything you did, always felt genuine. so, when you announced your break from social media and the music industry, obviously, i was devestated. but I respected it so much, because deep in my heart, I felt that you were not doing well. it was the best thing to do for yourself and I am actually very proud of you for putting yourself (and the tiny part that was still there without the music) first. so I’m happy you’re putting yourself and your thoughts out there again because i feel like you’ve got so many beautiful, fascinating, smart and interesting things to say and are so emotionally intelligent. so I just love to hear you talk and think about the things you’re saying, feeling and thinking. It always takes me to so many corner of my head that I forgot were there and broadens my horizon.
I am utterly happy to hear, that you found stability, because when I started listening to your music, I was 18 and I’m 28 now. So I was also a different person back then, when I started listening to your music. I experienced so much pain and growing and learning and therapy in those 10 years and you helped me go through it and feel understood. So I’ll always have a place for you in my heart, because you’re part of the reason why I am, who I am and helped me grow.
I’m also grateful you uploaded this. I can’t even comunicate and put into words all the things I’m feeling right now, because it’s such a mixture of gratefulness, sadness, nostalgia, excitement (for what’s to come) and also happiness (for you finding your place in this crazy world). I feel like that sounds stupid, but it’s beautiful feeling this way. Thank you.
Thank you for all the memories too. You've no idea how happy I was to hear you'll be playing with the guys again at Slam Dunk next year.. even with all the huge bands on the line up, I'm most excited to be seeing As It Is and celebrating how all of us have grown. ❤
Patty, both your channel and As it is were there for me when I really needed it. Even now when I’m having a hard time I go and listen to certain songs or watch certain videos that just make me smile. I’ve met you and your band mates in person a couple times and you were all always such a standout to me with how much care you showed towards your fans. I had this idea when I was like 16 that I wanted some of your lyrics tattooed but I wanted it in your handwriting so I never ended up getting it. Maybe I’ll just pick a nice font and get it anyway now cause the lyrics still hit the same as they always did.
PATTY, WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!! 🖤
you've come so far and I'll always be proud of you, Patty! It's been crazy to see you from TH-cam, to Spotify, to the stage in person, to winning awards (congrats, icon!)!!
seeing that background after all this years made me feel some kind of way! still here 10 years after. i saw you live when you came to madrid as State champs 's opening act and i would give anything to see you live again. thank you for all this years. i love you and im so happy your back!
Thanks for sharing some of your story, so glad to see you on this channel! Blast from the past 🎉❤
As it is has been my favorite band since I was 14 and I used to watch this channel all the time because it always inspired me and calmed me down. I actually flipped when I saw you had uploaded and I’m so happy you and as it is are back. Since I was 14 y’all have inspired me beyond words to start my own projects and play shows and do more than I ever thought I could. I can’t express how amazing the impact of your music and presence has been on my life thank you!
Just finished the video and can say that your and the bands presence was always so helpful to me. Your constant discourse around the stigma of mental health was really helpful to me growing up feeling like It was wrong to feel the things I did and be the way I was. Not only your music but the interviews, the messages behind it all and just the art you made was always so important to me. Not just the music but everything the band and you were made me happy, helped me through panic attacks, inspired me and was always something I knew I could put on and feel safe and calm down or listen to before I had to go on stage to get hyped up. I know this is long and rambling but I’m 20 now and seeing you live when I was 14 changed me forever and I will never forget how much you inspired me.
Didn't expect to see this pop up on my feed today! Pleasant surprise! :)
I’m so glad you made another video. I love watching your covers back in highschool. Now I’m an adult sitting at my adult job. I saw you live with As it Is. It was a dream came true. Your music helped change my life and it’s so nice to see you come back.
I remember being 15 and watching all the covers you used to do, I'm 25 and an archaeologist now with my own flat! Life comes at us fast we're all proud of you
Welcome back! 💜
You have always been enough
P.s. asking you guys to fangirl over me for a photo was fun. You did great lmao
10 year is crazy ...like I remember watching your TH-cam channel and listening to the band music in middle school and like now ...now im in my 20s , time Flys...thank you for so many charis memory's ❤
I've been subscribed to your channel since like 2012. It's so great to see you on here again.
We're the same age, and I remember being so stoked for you when As It Is signed with Fearless and seeing the places the world took you. I've felt the turbulence of it all in my own respects, both in my music career and private life, and a lot of what you've said definitely resonates here. Glad you checked in. See you around, Patty.
I was just talking about you! Crazy! Also I've had the chance to see you in concert once! I have your fallout theme shirt.
Damn I wanna see
The albums on the wall behind you that helped you through a lot and taught you a lot about yourself.. Those things become a part of you. But for a lot of us, your albums would be on our wall. Thanks for being on my wall.
I never comment on TH-cam videos but I feel like I have to. When you released that video 10 years ago I was 14 miserable & was desperate to escape myself. I loved as it is, went to multiple shows, had my introduction to the live music scene which has become one of the great joys of my life. Now I’m 24 with two degrees (still can’t believe that) and engaged to the love of my life. Wow life has changed so much. Happy to see you again, an As It Is comeback feels like holding hands with my teenage self. This is all very brave and wonderful.
thank you so much for the millionth time for everything you and your art (whether it’s youtube or the band or the podcast) have done for me. i used to come on here every day at school and listen to your covers in my study halls RELIGIOUSLY. i had a bunch of them downloaded on my phone and everything they were everything to me. i will never be able to adequately put into words how seem and safe and supported this family has made me feel. big big big love forever and ever 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Been coming back every year for the last 10 years to check if you’d posted yet - so glad that I decided to conduct my yearly check-in today of all days 🥺❤️
I found your channel in 2013 when I was looking for sleeping with sirens covers 😭 as soon as dial tones came out, as it is immediately went into my top 3 favorite bands. Warped tour came, then yall opened for mayday parade with real friends and I crowd surfed for the first time ever during that show at Starland Ballroom. 10 years later, I’m 26, went through different living situations, addiction, lost relationships, career changes, but one thing that’s remained are my memories- Never Happy was the soundtrack of my life for a while 💖
I'm glad you're healing. Good to see you back
I watched the goodbye video when it first came out. 10 years later I can honestly. I don’t know who I’d be without your music.
As it is has always spoken to me like no other music has. Every song on never happy… resonated with me.
Thank you for all that you do, and all that you are. Can’t wait to see what the next year brings for the band and us fans. ♥️/\\\ ❌
I've missed these videos for so many years. So grateful you're back
I watch you the two times you came to spain and those were the most great times in a show, I keep the okay signed album as a treassure in my collection
patty, you have been and remain one of the most inspirational figures in my life for the past 10 years - i got into your videos around 10-12 years ago (!!?) and never happy was one of the albums that got me into pop punk and eventually onto emo, post-hardcore, etc. your covers introduced me to some of my favourite bands. you introduced me to the concept of straight edge and put words and a name to what i was feeling. as it is has been a life-changing band for me and im one of the ones with lyrics tattooed. :)
i hope you’ve been doing well and taking care of yourself and enjoying life.i’ve always admired your authenticity in your videos and i’m glad you still are displaying your emotions and values in the same way. i know your younger self would be proud. was half expecting the oceans/lakes guitar to come in at the end for old times sake, haha. i hope this new /\\\ era is fulfilling for you and that you prioritize your healing and recovery above all else. xoxox
I remember watching your videos back in the day and then finally seeing you guys on the 2015 warped tour. I have so much love and support for you and the band 🫶🏻🫶🏻
