    I married my wife 2 years ago at age 50. Every time i hear this song I get emotional, wishing we'd met years ago. She insists we met when we were supposed to

    My daughter and I sang this song whenever it came on in the truck on the way to school or just driving- she ended it a couple of times with "Mom, I wish I knew you when you were young . . . you seem fun". I lost her last March at the age of 20. Just a song I will always cherish!

    “I wish I knew you when I was young”

      Lost my wife on our 10th. She was supposed to be getting well - the mental health system killed her in their egotistical attitude of I have a degree - yet they fail their clients in their game of Russian Roulette with meds instead of just first testing for drug interactions.
      I will never forget how much hurt she was put thru from that twisted Sister's agenda network.
      Best wishes - please do your self a favor, stay safe and away from the phycologist here's a pill 💊 for that network.
      Feelings prose's truth of your inter mind's hurt - that hurt is natural part of a lost life that was important.
      As my dad once said - chin up, shoulders back, chest out and eye's on Everything!
      What I missed - was that the one drug they had her on for a long time was the one that had a hand in her death 😢...

      No one will get away from a lose at some point in life! It's just part of life😏 - what matters is the way you deal with it!
      It's not easy - when you lose everything that's most important to you, it hard - but if you find something that you can focus on that you can find some enjoyment from in their memory, daily living becomes bearable.
      No one and nothing can bring back the dreams lost - however, you can modify them in a way that can reduce the hurt...
      Our Anniversary is coming up soon - this is a hard month for my mind to deal with - just as her birthday is tough for me - but on this month I deal with are first time and our last time on this Earth, so it's a little tougher, but I live for the day I met her!
      Thank you - and for all who have lost, someday your other half in life will once again be a part of your soul

    After a few years of homelessness and terrible abuse everywhere I landed, I went to stay with a man who was gentle and kind to me, ever patient where others had been extremely ugly to me. After a few nights he played this song for me. I do wish I knew him when we were young. We might have made some big noise in the woods stomping down family trees together. I hope for him only the very best and that we'll meet again sooner than later. My time with good ppl has been brief but precious moments that keep me moving forward hoping for more. Thank you for everything, Day.

    It's all inside you now
    It's everything beautiful
    But what are you, what are you, what are you
    What are you running from?
    Then, they got, they got, they got
    They got you on the run?
    So Friday night, holy ghost
    Take me to your level
    Show me the one I need the most
    I need the most
    I wish I knew you when I was young
    We could've got so high

    Now THIS is how you make a music video! You have two lovers separated by time reuniting in their twilight years. But at the same time the phasing in and out of their younger self's remind us no matter how old you get, you are still young at heart but also carry your regrets from years past. The other classmates at the reunion show us that you never lose your sense of fun, the man spiking the punch like he still 16 is a really nice touch. I also love the effect at the beginning when the man sees his love for the first time at the dance and glides towards her as if on a cloud.

      I don't think they were ever lovers. It was 1965. Mixed race relationships weren't a thing back then. They most likely were 'wanna be' lovers.

      @@rossogden9920 - That sure is where it took me! At the start, when the man looked at his lost-love's photo, it took me right back to the late 60s, when, as I found out much later, a good friend from high school wanted to ask me to senior prom but was too afraid, because he was black and I was white. Unfortunately, he died young, so we never got our happy ending. I loved that the couple in the video did, as did all the other kids whose relationships were forbidden fruit back then.

    [Verse 1]
    You shine like a star
    You know who you are
    You're everything beautiful
    She's hot, hot like the sun
    The loneliest one
    Still everything beautiful
    Well, I'll be goddamned
    You're standing at my door
    We stayed up in the city
    Until the stars lost the war
    So Friday night, Holy Ghost
    Take me to your level
    Show me the one I need the most
    I need the most
    [Chorus]
    I wish I knew you when I was young
    We could've got so high
    Now we're here, it's been so long
    Two strangers in the bright lights
    Oh, I hope you don't mind
    We can share my mood, yeah
    Two strangers in the bright lights
    I wish I knew you
    I wish I knew you
    Oh, I wish I knew you when I was young
    [Verse 2]
    Truth, it's all that you need
    You bury that seed
    It's everything beautiful
    That sound comes from the underground
    It's all inside you now
    It's everything beautiful
    But what you, what you, what you, what you running from?
    And they got, they got, they got, they got you on the run
    So Friday night, Holy Ghost
    Take me to your level
    Show me the one I need the most
    I need the most

    [Chorus]
    I wish I knew you when I was young
    We could've got so high
    Now we're here, it's been so long
    Two strangers in the bright lights
    Oh, and I hope you don't mind
    We can share my mood, yeah
    Two strangers in the bright lights
    I wish I knew you
    I wish I knew you
    Oh, I wish I knew you when I was young
    [Bridge]
    Maybe we can share my mood
    Whoa, whoa, whoa
    Maybe we can share my mood
    Whoa, whoa, whoa
    Maybe we can share my mood
    Whoa, whoa, whoa

And I let her, my son, their children, her family and SO MANY MORE. I do not understand why. But I do know I am to blame. I never believed I could miss someone so much. I do not know what really happened. Am not ready for that information. I just understand my part. There is nothing I can ever do to change it. I wish I could. I can forgive other's. I can't forgive myself. No one deserves disrespect, laziness, selfishness, indisivenes, and I can't change the circumstances. I will change me. For my son.

I wish I could’ve been the person I am now when I was young. I wish I could’ve accepted myself for who I was when I was young (we could’ve got so high)

I'm sure it would have made a difference if I could have found a way to use both at the same time, but we can't turn back time.

    When you work in the public you often interact with people you wouldn't normally interact with, and for me, when I was in my early 20s, it was with this woman who I worked with (although in a different department) who is about 10 years my senior, and I had the hugest crush on her. We ended up becoming friends over the 6 or 7 years we worked together and became very trusting of each other with our personal lives. This song always makes me think of her even years later. Although this doesn't particularly have to do with the song, it does make me wish I was born a few years earlier to potentially have been able to have a stronger connection with her.

He recognized me and said my name which kind of took me by surprise. Then he told me who he was and I was blown away. Talk about a glow up. The bad thing was I had a boyfriend at the time. That relationship fell apart. Then he connected on New Year's Eve. I told him I would regret it if we didn't kiss at midnight. That's exactly what we did and we've been together ever since. ❤

    I’ll never forget the moment where my close friends and I were sitting staring out into the city lights while this song was playing. We shared this silence that felt so profound and although no words were exchanged, we could all feel each other’s emotions. I know this is a more up beat song but every time I hear the chorus it reminds me of this moment and makes me want to cry. Not from sadness but just from the beauty in that moment. Seriously a great song and I know I’ll be coming back here to remind myself of that time.

    I was driving otr. Don't remember what state when I first heard this, but it caught me. Had me zoning to a specific time/place with a specific person in mind. The 2nd time, another run, another state, I turned in at the beginning of the song. I HAD TO PULLOVER! My 2nd time hearing it, I already knew the hook, zoned out to "that place/person" again and I just let the song take me. It was damn near spiritual. [WeirdShit] I didn't tell anybody about "that new song I know you may like". I wanted it just to myself. In Atlanta it's not on the radio (still) and I love it. It's still MY song. That special friend is getting divorced I heard... I can't/won't. It'll possibly ruin the magic of the song-like going mainstream or something.

      Because it touches everything that is good about us... you see the old guys looking bad as if they are about to do something awful but it is made clear that back in the past and in present they are just basic rebel wannabees and in the meantime they think this whole interracial thing is boring.

      @TeenDream888 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Tarkus i think people are more comfortable with interracial couples, not 'bored'. maybe English isn't your first language, so i won't bash your adjectives. the old dudes were just reliving their youth and enjoying themselves-i don't think they were ever wannabes or rebels, just stupid kids having fun. the song definitely touches the nostalgia of the main couple, who probably liked each other a lot (and still do) but couldn't date back in the day. they're making up for lost time, and reminiscing how things might've been different if they could have dated without the social stigmas of the time.

      It's sad that they didn't know each other when they were younger, but It is very possible and actually likely that being together when younger would've been bad since most younger relationships don't work out so it's happy because it's better to have met later in life but sad because of what could have been and then we go back to the beginning. Really it's such a great song.
