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!
Railynne, thank you for sharing something so personal. I am saddened from your loss. I can't begin to understand it. I pray that the Lord helps you to heal and you experience his peace. Carry this verse with you, wherever you go. Joshua 1:9
My husband and I used to sing this song together. I lost him him Oct of 2022. He was only 30. Never thought I would be a widowed so young. We were together for 10 wonderful years 😘
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 😢...
@mrnobody8540 "chin up, shoulders back, chest out, and eyes on everything "!!! Love it and I needed to hear that! Thanks brother and stay positive, my friend.
@@flowermomma-vf3zl 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
@@taytonsmith5551 Thank you for the kind words! He had health issues and was a canid person. He repeatedly told me not to be sad when he was gone. I do my best be well! Best to you and yours ❤
I’m in long term care. I take care of old people who were once young. I see their old pictures and hear their incredible life stories and wish I knew them when THEY were young. Such amazing people. Truly.
I work in health care, approx. 3/4 of the old people I meet are bitter, miserable assholes that spend their entire days trying to make everyone else around them as miserable as they are, but the remaining 1/4 really are amazing.
I fell in love with a 24 year old site unseen! when I met her and closed the deal, I promise everyone, she will never forget this song! oh, I wish I knew her when I was young, we would still be sharing my mood.
I dedicate this amazing song to my husband, my second husband of 19 years so far. We met online in 2003 when 43 years old. I left my country to marry him in Texas, got my Masters degree there 🎉He’s German and I am Latina. Now we live in Europe at 63/65 y/o. He’s retired and I still work virtually ❤❤❤
Such a beautiful video and song. It’s never too late. For those of you thinking your life is over or you’re feeling like you’ll never get what you truly want; Just know that it’s never too late. Get out there now and somehow go after everything you desire. You can do it.
I love to think silver in communications and gold should be always a good investment when it's like this a program could really be tuff and easy to be in and I know that it's all good but we need to be careful with the kids and this town and some how run at maxiuman function and company abc keeps rolling along folks and keep plenty of water out for your dog
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.
I don't listen to the radio often, but when I heard "Wish I Knew You" I just couldn't believe that I had to hear it over and over! The seven minute version has great saxophone solos. Today, I have listened to it a dozen times again.
Craig R. H. Laurent I'm laughing bc you look like my grandpa's age and you can go on TH-cam find a song and comment He asked me when he got a text message how do I answer it (he thought it was a phone call)😂😂😂😂😂
I'm a 57 year old rock and roller down to my toes. i saw many great bands while growing up in the san francisco bay area. BUT this band is so hot, they will touch yer mind and soul, as they make some of the most powerful, sweet sounds i have EVER heard! So glad i caught this song on KZAP radio a few weeks back.I am now a new/old revivalist fan 4 sure! Thank you,bless you rock on..you just woke me back up! Mr. bruce I'anson jones ! [ ya THAT mr.jones the talkenheads song one.]a.k.a. The Spoonman; and basic urban legend!! Majik time is upon us NOW. see ya round
57 here, too. Love this song's hook and all that stuff going on in the back --horns, funky disco rhythm guitar, cool retro organ... Just an all around great song.
the lyrics to this song is breathtakingly beautiful, i don't know what made me just want to come back to listen to it, but sometimes a song just calls out to you
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 Maybe we can share my mood Maybe we can share my mood Maybe we can share my mood 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 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 The Revivalist - Wish I knew you
Anybody else bawling their eyes out over this? It's been so long, they've waited so long, and yet it feels like no time has passed at all, their love makes them feel young again, and it doesn't matter how much time has passed. God damn.
The fact that the singer said it’s open for anyone’s interpretation is awesome. Just started talking to my daughter that I never got to know for 20 years. It’s amazing!
It's not about her.... it's about finally finding who you really are and being comfortable with who you were and wishing you could tell your younger self that it's always been ok
okay, maybe it's me but I didn't get that from the song...I thought the song was about not being afraid to finally tell someone you love them...having a bit of regret...
At age 31, this song makes me think hard about life..... Like how I need to embrace and take advantage of all new opportunities life still has for me and make the best out of the present, before it is too late. We can't live in regret!
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.
@@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.
vanessa gonzalez If you like the sax in songs like this, you may be interested in checking out songs by "INXS". They were an early 80s to mid 90s band that loved using sax in their pieces. The lead singer has an amazing voice as well. Let me know if you check them out!
vanessa lezama the best ?? Do you listen to only like two albums each year and nothing else? Like this is pretty good I guess but the best of the year? Even speaking in terms of "top 40" tracks? Hell no
[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 [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
"So Friday night, The Holy Ghost, take me to your level. Show me the one I need The Most." "I wish I knew you when I was young. I coulda 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. Two strangers in the bright lights. I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you when I was young." 🔥🔥🔥
This is literally me and my beautiful wife. We met when we were 17 and I didn't have the courage to ask her out. 20 years later I found her again and didn't hesitate. Now we have a wonderful daughter and the rest of our lives to share the 20 years we missed apart.
I am older 68 yrs. heard this amazing song while taking my teenaged grandson to school one morning! Absolutely love it and have shared with all my senior friends - they all love it too! Then I saw the video!! My new favorite group!!! Listen to it at least 20+ times a day while facebooking!!
В мае 2018 года была в Афинах, в гостях у дочи, и эту песню крутили по радио несколько раз в день. Я просто влюбилась в неё! И клип прекрасный! ❤ Напоминание о прекрасной Греции! 🇬🇷 Сейчас сентябрь 2024 года. 🤗
My husband and I dated for about 2 mos as teens...30 yrs later reconnected via fb....2 yrs later got married...been 11 yrs now. This song just hits home
My wife and I dated as teens , had a 12 year gap before we reconnected on FB .. dated for three and have now been married for 10 with two kids ..this comment hit home while this song was hitting home 🎵🎶✌🏻
Wow. I never realized how this song can be an amazing love song and also a sad story about the right love, at the wrong time. I learned the latter, today. Love the song even more.
Heard this song in June, Alicia played it over and over again. She told me she heard this with my son. Didn't listen to the words. Now I understand. The burdens she had to carry were immense. 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.
Best Indie/alt rock song I've heard in a while. Modern indie/alt rock bands take lessons! Instrumentally and lyrically this is way better than much of the modern indie stuff you hear on the radio.
I heard this song and of course thought of all the people I wish I knew when I was young. Then I started to really think about the lyrics and I felt a sense that I was singing this song to myself. I wish I knew Me when I was young. 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) This song goes out to all the young girls that are strangers to themselves. Get to know yourself. Share your mood. Cuz you’ll be in the bright lights someday and you’ll be confident with who you are. Get on it now. Time is precious
I can say I knew me when I was young, but very much appreciate your comment. The thing I wasn't able to put my finger on was the dichotomy of my personality though I could feel the shift between my heart and my intellect. 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. Our world is now filled with young people asking the question, "who am I?". That is disturbing to me. We are who we are and if we think too much about it, then we are not.
Wow! Reading your comment made me realize so many things about myself ❤ thank you so much for it! Have had a hard time trying to accept myself for who I am since I have memory, your words warmed my heart and it definitely made me think about “time is precious” thanks! ❤️
I turn 18 next month, and everyday I wish I still knew my younger self, who has hid himself after all I have went through, behind a wall I can't get past.
no matter whats going on in my life at the momen,t this song makes everything better even if only for a couple minutes....it make me feel like everythings gonna be ok. Hey...whatever gets me through the day
When you meet them, still young... the one.. you wish you’d have met them sooner. It’s like they’ve always been there. This song came on my drive home from work, and I started crying... What I wouldn’t give to have met him when I was a teenager. Beautiful song, so beautiful.
Everyone loves the sax(I do too), but it's the organ that truly seperates this song from something typical. Great vibe and then a serious Procal Harem style organ on the chorus. Brilliantly put together. Great band.
Agree with you both Anna Lisa and Alicia Armstrong. There are a few souls out there fortunate and blessed enough to find a true soul mate and true love, early or late in life. But for many, unfortunately, love, loyalty, honesty, and commitment are just words and not feelings that are neither shown nor felt.
This song was sent to me by a woman who I have fallen for. And we haven't even met yet. I live on the East Coast, she lives on the West Coast. Thank God for internet and cell phones and every way to talk to each other from coast to coast. Since talking to her, and falling for her, I've been diagnosed with two types of cancer. And yet, I want to go to CA to see her. I must!
@@tedhawver3564 Stay strong.. Cherish every moment with her.. Fly her to out to you, or get on a plane. Love is the only thing on this stupid planet worth a shit anyway.
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.
I wish we had more songs and media in general about things like this! It makes me feel better about the prospect of getting old. There will always be joy to find if you can put yourself out there.
This song defines my relationship with my boyfriend. It's our song. We met in high school and reunited two years ago. He was selling records at a record show. 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 love seeing everyone’s unique connections to this song and reading your stories 💜 For me, I don’t think I have a way to relate to it personally, but this song is extremely danceable to me. Not many songs make me want to drop everything and dance 🕺🏽💃🏽
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 found this song randomly while studying online. My beloved dog had recently passed, and my relationship with the man I'd been seeing inexplicably fizzled. This song reached deep into my soul. I love the video as well...I can watch it over and over and it still seems fresh.
The feelings this song evokes...the regret, the nostalgia... Reminds me so much of my on/off SO and our friend group. I'm from a different state than them and I met them in college but they've all known each other since elementary. What I wouldn't give to have known them when they were young...
Honestly one of the best songs ever for anyone that's no longer young Also this video legit makes me smile the whole time. What a cute wonderful and bittersweet song
Sheesh, anyone who says no good music comes out anymore nowadays probably thinks that because they spend all their time listening to music from back in the day. There is SO freaking much to hear and enjoy in today's music you have to be living in self-imposed exile to the olden days not to find joy out here! FGS, you're on the internet, you're on youtube...go on an expedition, follow links, track down unknown artists and whole new worlds - it's all here. And those golden oldies aren't going anywhere, they'll still be there on your playlist when you need 'em.
I met a girl today and she’s so gorgeous to me. This started playing on the radio and it captured exactly what I was feeling in that moment. I love this song sm
@@indrasph4332 well i hummed the tune and tried googling that then ibtried my hardest to think of any of the lyrics. Could only remember "bright lights" eventually the alexa at work played it
While it wasn’t our first dance song, this was my favorite song played at our wedding. I will always remember staring into your gorgeous eyes and smile, dancing our hearts out to this song, feeing lost in the moment and all the experiences we’ve shared… before and since. I love you!
Such a perfect song to listen to while surviving the horrific pain I've been experiencing. I love watching this video. It indeed gave me an e ntirely perspective on life. The Breathtaking beauty of all these guys emotions while creating this outstanding song gets me everytime! 👍
This is my feelgood song. Crafty, cool, eruptive of emotions. Best song in years. True, met my wife when in my thirties. Feel like I lost many years looking for her. All worth it , as we've been blessed with two beautiful dauhters.
_It's one of those songs which will make you feel happy and kinda sad at the same._ _Those songs that'll find you in unexpected ways and stick with you for rest of your life_ ❤
All I've gotta say is im really proud of these guys. Ive seen them six times and im 14. I first saw them when I was seven and me and my parents drove out to Albany (from Boston) to see them. I met their singer, Dave Shaw and it has been the best day of my life. I never thought they would get big but here they are. Great Job guys and thanks Dave.
My husband and I are celebrating our third wedding anniversary today. I wish I had met him when I was younger so I could love him for a longer time! But it wasn’t meant to be. I have 2 beautiful children from my ex husband, who were meant to be here. I appreciate my husband so much now because of my past experience. He is a blessing to me!! ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
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. Has anybody else been so psychotically selfish about a thing?!?
I understand everyone has preference in music but OMG THIS is what i consider music in my ears. If it gets me up off my chair and dancing to it then it's good stuff!
The most wonderful thing is that music is subjective. You see this is romantic. I do not. I just landed in a class of my peers and it’s just absolutely the song I wanted to listen to. I got into my class and that’s all that matters.
I am in love with this song ❤ someone told me the other day "i wish i knew you when we were younger" and i heard this for the first time lastnight, fell asleep to it replaying. The deep meaning to this is so sad, but beautiful! I wish i could've met him younger too, waited so many years to find my soulmate now. I'm just crying replaying this. When you find that person, don't let them go damitt!!! Sometimes it's to late. " show me the one i need the most" i felt that 🔥
I hadn't heard this band before and they are so good. Enjoyed the song, performance, sax, steel guitar, they are so rare in today's music. CONGRATS & Good Luck to the Band!!!!
I'm also so sorry for your loss. I'm 65 years old and heard this song for the first time a year ago and was struck by how true it is for people my age. I meet someone now and think wow I wish I'd had the benefit of knowing you longer
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.
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.
For whatever the reason I don’t know this song made me cry my eyes out idk why maybe thinking about all those chances I had back when I was younger and never just asked them out…
Just like the song everybody's changing by keane...it has like this maybe 60's feel to it but then it's also sad,you should check it out . This song right here reminds me of that type of happy but sad feeling too
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.
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
She is a wise woman.
Cherish her , she is a keeper.
Listen to her
I cannot love this post enough ❤
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!
So sorry for your loss. May she rest in Peace.
What a cherished memory!
Just threw this song she lives on!
Railynne, thank you for sharing something so personal. I am saddened from your loss. I can't begin to understand it. I pray that the Lord helps you to heal and you experience his peace.
Carry this verse with you, wherever you go. Joshua 1:9

I'm so sorry for your loss.
“I wish I knew you when I was young”
This line hits me so hard. It’s like The feeling of things you wish you had done when you had the chance.
My husband and I used to sing this song together. I lost him him Oct of 2022. He was only 30. Never thought I would be a widowed so young. We were together for 10 wonderful years 😘
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 😢...
@mrnobody8540 "chin up, shoulders back, chest out, and eyes on everything "!!!

@@flowermomma-vf3zl
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
This song is one to remember

Old ppl are full of wisdom, I always listen and keep my mouth shut and learn A LOT. most them have lived amazing lives. Bless you for your work
Very well said.
I work in health care, approx. 3/4 of the old people I meet are bitter, miserable assholes that spend their entire days trying to make everyone else around them as miserable as they are, but the remaining 1/4 really are amazing.

im 59 and i havent heard good music like this in years
Oh the world is turning into great music, Thinking that what will bind us together
I fell in love with a 24 year old site unseen! when I met her and closed the deal, I promise everyone, she will never forget this song! oh, I wish I knew her when I was young, we would still be sharing my mood.
I dedicate this amazing song to my husband, my second husband of 19 years so far. We met online in 2003 when 43 years old. I left my country to marry him in Texas, got my Masters degree there 🎉He’s German and I am Latina. Now we live in Europe at 63/65 y/o. He’s retired and I still work virtually ❤❤❤
what a wonderful story
Todo por ❤ amor
I didn't know my wife when we were young. We met in our 40's. We're pushing our 60's now. It's been fucking great. Can't wait for the rest of it!!!
Good for y'all! 🥰
awww. happy 4 you
According to op you have to be different races... Ha wth is happening to this ignorant ass world
@@shanekelley2554 I don't think race has anything to do with it.
@@SpiffyGiraffeCreations that's what I'm saying...
They totally knocked it out of the park with this song. Everything about it is amazing. Saxophone, electric piano, those bass grooves, smooth voice.
those bass grooves are a sonic orgasm for me
This song is perfect. I want more songs like this.
Ya
and honestly a great music video to top it off.
One of the very few love songs I enjoy.
Such a beautiful video and song. It’s never too late.
For those of you thinking your life is over or you’re feeling like you’ll never get what you truly want; Just know that it’s never too late. Get out there now and somehow go after everything you desire. You can do it.
thank you 💗🙏
Live it
Words of wisdom. Thank you.
I love to think silver in communications and gold should be always a good investment when it's like this a program could really be tuff and easy to be in and I know that it's all good but we need to be careful with the kids and this town and some how run at maxiuman function and company abc keeps rolling along folks and keep plenty of water out for your dog
Love this 🙌🏼
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.
Been said several times but this is the one song that's impossible to grow tired of. Every listen makes it sound all the better.
Devin Ian Schramm spot on mate
Thanks, man! Those kind of songs are especially rare in modern music.
Vinny Whittle search TURTLEJUAREZ ON YT he does daily livestreams and videos
still haven't gotten tired of it
I don't listen to the radio often, but when I heard "Wish I Knew You" I just couldn't believe that I had to hear it over and over! The seven minute version has great saxophone solos. Today, I have listened to it a dozen times again.
Craig R. H. Laurent thank you for sharing!!! Can't wait to listen it!!!
Fuck yeah
Craig R. H. Laurent I'm laughing bc you look like my grandpa's age and you can go on TH-cam find a song and comment
He asked me when he got a text message how do I answer it (he thought it was a phone call)😂😂😂😂😂
I heard this on my radio too lol 😂😂😂this song amazing 👏👏👏👏👏

I'm a 57 year old rock and roller down to my toes. i saw many great bands while growing up in the san francisco bay area. BUT this band is so hot, they will touch yer mind and soul, as they make some of the most powerful, sweet sounds i have EVER heard! So glad i caught this song on KZAP radio a few weeks back.I am now a new/old revivalist fan 4 sure! Thank you,bless you rock on..you just woke me back up!
Mr. bruce I'anson jones ! [ ya THAT mr.jones the talkenheads song one.]a.k.a. The Spoonman; and basic urban legend!! Majik time is upon us NOW. see ya round
I'm a 71 year old rocker and these guys are TIGHT. This is a great song.
great guys does not good music make
57 here, too. Love this song's hook and all that stuff going on in the back --horns, funky disco rhythm guitar, cool retro organ... Just an all around great song.
im not 5 btw im 18
i think thats a steel pedal guitar you're hearing and not an organ, yea but totally agree awesome sound.
p.s i could be wrong
the lyrics to this song is breathtakingly beautiful, i don't know what made me just want to come back to listen to it, but sometimes a song just calls out to you
Same. Lol
Have you sen the cover of "to Love Somebody?"
Woke up this morning with this song running through my brain soundtrack. Don't know why, just gad to hear it again.
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
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
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
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 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 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
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
Maybe we can share my mood
Maybe we can share my mood
Maybe we can share my mood
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
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
The Revivalist - Wish I knew you
Anybody else bawling their eyes out over this? It's been so long, they've waited so long, and yet it feels like no time has passed at all, their love makes them feel young again, and it doesn't matter how much time has passed. God damn.
You must be on your period....
@@rsmith2463 Oh sick, so we're synced. Feel better, girl.
I love your comment here very much, but you sure could have finished it without mentioning God's name here in a negative way.
@@thommysides4616 I don't think she'd mind.
What god les Claypool or David Bowie ?
I love this song, but the best part of playing it on TH-cam is reading the comments. All these beautiful stories!
Your should check out the original they stole this from.
Dancing in the Moonlight
The fact that the singer said it’s open for anyone’s interpretation is awesome. Just started talking to my daughter that I never got to know for 20 years. It’s amazing!
It's not about her.... it's about finally finding who you really are and being comfortable with who you were and wishing you could tell your younger self that it's always been ok
Hahaha, oh man
It was about her, but what she meant to you, not how superficial you felt.
okay, maybe it's me but I didn't get that from the song...I thought the song was about not being afraid to finally tell someone you love them...having a bit of regret...
They weren't "allowed" to be with each other as kids because of the times, wishing things could've been different.
Kyle Skinner shut up smartass..you perciece it that way. And everyone has there own opion on how they personally see it so shut up.
My best friend is in her 60’s and I’m 24. I wish I knew her when she was young. She is so much fun ❤️
That's beautiful. I bet you make her young again. Cheers
That's lovely!
At age 31, this song makes me think hard about life..... Like how I need to embrace and take advantage of all new opportunities life still has for me and make the best out of the present, before it is too late. We can't live in regret!
Nathan V Follow your dreams man. You ain't even old!
Nathan V right on brother i like your attitude keep living life
Nathan! YES YES YES you are right. I'm 33 and feel just like you do.
Same 33 years young
you rock nathan!
I've loved this song...but I never watched the vid...and now I'm tearing up. I am biracial ...and this is beautiful.
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.
Si hermosa pase lo que pase a quien amaste con locura jamás lo dejaras de amar.......... Bogotá Colombia good look
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.
this song man... best I've heard in years. that sax is amazing!!
vanessa gonzalez If you like the sax in songs like this, you may be interested in checking out songs by "INXS". They were an early 80s to mid 90s band that loved using sax in their pieces. The lead singer has an amazing voice as well. Let me know if you check them out!
Ooooh, yeah! I was in love with the sound of that sax in INXS! definitely check them out!
If you like sax then look up Mr.Saxobeat.
vanessa lezama naw if you like sax look up griz
vanessa lezama the best ?? Do you listen to only like two albums each year and nothing else? Like this is pretty good I guess but the best of the year? Even speaking in terms of "top 40" tracks? Hell no

I only recently started hearing this song everywhere. WHERE HAS THIS SONG BEEN ALL MY LIFE!?
hippiefreak66 sammmme
hippiefreak66 i was like wth this is from a year ago lol
hippiefreak66 i so agree
what a fantastic song
hippiefreak66 ikr
This is literally me and my beautiful wife. We met when we were 17 and I didn't have the courage to ask her out. 20 years later I found her again and didn't hesitate. Now we have a wonderful daughter and the rest of our lives to share the 20 years we missed apart.
God bless you guys, Manny more years 👍
That's pretty kick ass not gonna lie.
Love it!
Dang. I'm happy for you. Wow.
Awwww 💖💖💖
I am older 68 yrs. heard this amazing song while taking my teenaged grandson to school one morning! Absolutely love it and have shared with all my senior friends - they all love it too! Then I saw the video!! My new favorite group!!! Listen to it at least 20+ times a day while facebooking!!
Linda Cohen I bet you’re a blast to hang out with! Wanna dance?
I agree! Love this!
Wish I knew you when I was young😉. So we could dance😉. if you know what I mean😉.
SAME HERE!
Linda Cohen just goes to show, all music touches all of our hearts and soul. It has nothing to due with age! God bless your heart,✌️✌️✌️
В мае 2018 года была в Афинах, в гостях у дочи, и эту песню крутили по радио несколько раз в день. Я просто влюбилась в неё! И клип прекрасный! ❤ Напоминание о прекрасной Греции! 🇬🇷 Сейчас сентябрь 2024 года. 🤗
This is one of those songs you don't realize how much you like until it randomly gets stuck in your head and starts to narrate your life.
That's what happened to me, then I paid attention to the video... set back in my younger days. Wow
Yeah like that one on the commercial now that says let's make lots of money lol stuck in my head every time I hear it
@@chr0nicallydank be nice, this is a lot of people's fave song, I can't stop playing it!

My wife and I dated as teens , had a 12 year gap before we reconnected on FB .. dated for three and have now been married for 10 with two kids ..this comment hit home while this song was hitting home 🎵🎶✌🏻
WOW!
Good for you!!!
Good for you.
Good for you both
Wow. I never realized how this song can be an amazing love song and also a sad story about the right love, at the wrong time. I learned the latter, today. Love the song even more.
Heard this song in June, Alicia played it over and over again. She told me she heard this with my son. Didn't listen to the words. Now I understand. The burdens she had to carry were immense. 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.
Heard this for the first time last week and have replayed it at least 2 dozen times. Some songs hit a nerve and this did for me.
Same to me
SAME i think ive heard it before a few weeks ago but it'd been multiple years
1st time hearing this tune as well Right Now! Wow Hell Yeah 😳 great vibe, lyrics, blend of instruments. Then his voice is the Cherry on top!
use to play this song when i used to wake up and used to move my body in bed like a mad man. too good.
Yeah it’s in my head and I had no idea what it was
Saw these guys live last week. One of the best concerts. They played an extended version of this song - wow!
incredible musicians!
Peter T m
what concert?
Best Indie/alt rock song I've heard in a while. Modern indie/alt rock bands take lessons! Instrumentally and lyrically this is way better than much of the modern indie stuff you hear on the radio.
I heard this song and of course thought of all the people I wish I knew when I was young. Then I started to really think about the lyrics and I felt a sense that I was singing this song to myself. I wish I knew Me when I was young. 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)
This song goes out to all the young girls that are strangers to themselves. Get to know yourself. Share your mood. Cuz you’ll be in the bright lights someday and you’ll be confident with who you are. Get on it now. Time is precious
I can say I knew me when I was young, but very much appreciate your comment. The thing I wasn't able to put my finger on was the dichotomy of my personality though I could feel the shift between my heart and my intellect. 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.
Our world is now filled with young people asking the question, "who am I?". That is disturbing to me. We are who we are and if we think too much about it, then we are not.
Wow! Reading your comment made me realize so many things about myself ❤ thank you so much for it! Have had a hard time trying to accept myself for who I am since I have memory, your words warmed my heart and it definitely made me think about “time is precious” thanks! ❤️
I turn 18 next month, and everyday I wish I still knew my younger self, who has hid himself after all I have went through, behind a wall I can't get past.
@@AzureSetsunai4345 It's a long, tall wall. Just ask Juanita.

@CRASHout4u it isn't. Looks like a nude colored bra cup. Lol
5 years later and this song still speaks to me. Just in a different way. I definitely know what it is to wish I knew someone when we were young❤
When you meet them, still young... the one.. you wish you’d have met them sooner.
It’s like they’ve always been there.
This song came on my drive home from work, and I started crying...

Everyone loves the sax(I do too), but it's the organ that truly seperates this song from something typical. Great vibe and then a serious Procal Harem style organ on the chorus. Brilliantly put together. Great band.
John Flanagan honestly every member of the band is on point and they sound spectacular live
Yes. Yes! Yes!!!
LOVE THIS SONG, THEY DESERVE WAY MORE CREDIT AND FAME!

THIS IS A GORGEOUS, WONDERFUL MASTERPIECE. I AM SO HAPPY THAT I DISCOVERED IT WHEN I DID!!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This song is the perfect definition of right person wrong time
So much so
So true! 😔
More like right person, finally!!!!!!!! :-)
Agree with you both Anna Lisa and Alicia Armstrong. There are a few souls out there fortunate and blessed enough to find a true soul mate and true love, early or late in life. But for many, unfortunately, love, loyalty, honesty, and commitment are just words and not feelings that are neither shown nor felt.
Isnt that the damn truth👍
This song was sent to me by a woman who I have fallen for. And we haven't even met yet. I live on the East Coast, she lives on the West Coast. Thank God for internet and cell phones and every way to talk to each other from coast to coast. Since talking to her, and falling for her, I've been diagnosed with two types of cancer. And yet, I want to go to CA to see her. I must!
Hope you get to see her! Much love and beat cancer for us ❤️
update?
@@SanguineSong97 Cancer is kicking my ass.
@@tedhawver3564 Stay strong.. Cherish every moment with her.. Fly her to out to you, or get on a plane. Love is the only thing on this stupid planet worth a shit anyway.
Rock on, Ted! 💛
Sending lots and lots of energy your way.
Keeping you in my thoughts.
I heard this song on the radio and had to come here. Awesome song and awesome band!
Mitch Holter I did the same😀
The same just happened to me today. That the lead singer is not a fat white guy or black guy amazed me.
***** 👍😀
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.
I wish we had more songs and media in general about things like this! It makes me feel better about the prospect of getting old. There will always be joy to find if you can put yourself out there.
This song defines my relationship with my boyfriend. It's our song. We met in high school and reunited two years ago. He was selling records at a record show. 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. ❤
Thats amazing ❤️ Wish you all the best
I forgot when I asked?
now thats true love wish you the best
@@YuhHuh519 bruh shut up
I'm so happy for you! BLESS YOU.
This song just hits you where "the one who got away" lived.
@@joyceward3390 that's heartbreaking!!!
YES
Exactly !
This video is BRILLIANT. Makes me so happy.
I love seeing everyone’s unique connections to this song and reading your stories 💜 For me, I don’t think I have a way to relate to it personally, but this song is extremely danceable to me. Not many songs make me want to drop everything and dance 🕺🏽💃🏽
Same. I've been with my husband since 20 so don't relate personally but just love everything about it!
Omg this song is everything to me it's the best song I've ever heard I can't stop listening to it
this song has magic , I can't stop listening too
Evelyn McCabe it's about going to hell
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.
Hold that close, memories like that are precious
It's simply love babe, the most powerful thing in existence
Good song but settle down tuguy
Thats for you and them to experience
🤙💙😒🙏
Sudocynic - I'm crying now! When he kissed her hand and her face reacting, so sweet!
@@kaykaub2113 You said it and I agree : )
I found this song randomly while studying online. My beloved dog had recently passed, and my relationship with the man I'd been seeing inexplicably fizzled. This song reached deep into my soul. I love the video as well...I can watch it over and over and it still seems fresh.
@James Hama excellent. And you?
The feelings this song evokes...the regret, the nostalgia... Reminds me so much of my on/off SO and our friend group. I'm from a different state than them and I met them in college but they've all known each other since elementary. What I wouldn't give to have known them when they were young...
Honestly one of the best songs ever for anyone that's no longer young
Also this video legit makes me smile the whole time. What a cute wonderful and bittersweet song
❤ the way he dancex
Bittersweet for sure.
This song makes you wish you could turn back the hands of time and just relive the life you've already lived.
Yes and just know not even half the SHIT 💩 !!!!!!
That you know NOW.💯👍
The one you complained about at the time but now realize how many good people and good things were in it.
That is the TRUTH! makes my heart ache for a chance to "go back" when I listen to it. REGRET is the one emotion, you can't EVER "get over, with time"🥺
For those that say no good music comes out anymore nowadays this is your answers this is a great great song and it's not that old I love this song
These guys and Driftwood Gypsy... Not soliciting, just like good music.
Sheesh, anyone who says no good music comes out anymore nowadays probably thinks that because they spend all their time listening to music from back in the day. There is SO freaking much to hear and enjoy in today's music you have to be living in self-imposed exile to the olden days not to find joy out here!
FGS, you're on the internet, you're on youtube...go on an expedition, follow links, track down unknown artists and whole new worlds - it's all here. And those golden oldies aren't going anywhere, they'll still be there on your playlist when you need 'em.
Straight to the soul of killer ass music. The Revivalists - Wish I Knew You frign nailed it.

I love you!
Such a perfect song to listen to while surviving the horrific pain I've been experiencing. I love watching this video. It indeed gave me an e
ntirely perspective on life. The Breathtaking beauty of all these guys emotions while creating this outstanding song gets me everytime! 👍
Hang in there. I hope things are getting better for you.
This is my feelgood song. Crafty, cool, eruptive of emotions. Best song in years.
True, met my wife when in my thirties. Feel like I lost many years looking for her. All worth it , as we've been blessed with two beautiful dauhters.
_It's one of those songs which will make you feel happy and kinda sad at the same._
_Those songs that'll find you in unexpected ways and stick with you for rest of your life_ ❤
Exactly yes
Exactly god dammit
Yesssss
I dig what you say...
So true!
THIS is my very FAVORITE.. HS Class Union. perfect background for this song. PERFECT GUYS - PERFECT
The amount of times I've listened to this over and over again is seriously concerning.
Brennanman1 same here ive heard it over over and im still loving it!
yep
Do you wish you loved someone when you were young?
Or younger to love someone who is already young.
Brennanman1 lol you are not alone mee too i love this song😀😀
All I've gotta say is im really proud of these guys. Ive seen them six times and im 14. I first saw them when I was seven and me and my parents drove out to Albany (from Boston) to see them. I met their singer, Dave Shaw and it has been the best day of my life. I never thought they would get big but here they are. Great Job guys and thanks Dave.
Brookfeild Quite articulate for 14. Nice comment!
@@SteeleVicinity Thanks Man
Your parents are fucking awesome
Kid, you have great parents. I can't imagine the awesome musical taste you are developing. Kudos to you and your folks.
Oh yeah yeah
My husband and I are celebrating our third wedding anniversary today. I wish I had met him when I was younger so I could love him for a longer time! But it wasn’t meant to be. I have 2 beautiful children from my ex husband, who were meant to be here. I appreciate my husband so much now because of my past experience. He is a blessing to me!! ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
My best wishes!!!!!
@@athanasiantafou814 thank you!! We are richly blessed!!!
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. Has anybody else been so psychotically selfish about a thing?!?
I'm nearly 40 and met the love of my life this year. As much as I do wish I'd met him sooner, he was worth the wait and I would do it again.
I understand everyone has preference in music but OMG THIS is what i consider music in my ears. If it gets me up off my chair and dancing to it then it's good stuff!
I love it easy to dance to good rhythm
I love this so much. Make me get up and dance with myself....lol
Me too
for sure. the first time I heard the song. I had to find out who they were. What a great song and Video.
"Wish I Knew You" Earlier Cause You Are One Great Group
The most wonderful thing is that music is subjective. You see this is romantic. I do not. I just landed in a class of my peers and it’s just absolutely the song I wanted to listen to. I got into my class and that’s all that matters.
Seen this band in a TH-cam ad and it's the first music ad I didn't skip because the song was so good. 😃
I am in love with this song ❤ someone told me the other day "i wish i knew you when we were younger" and i heard this for the first time lastnight, fell asleep to it replaying. The deep meaning to this is so sad, but beautiful! I wish i could've met him younger too, waited so many years to find my soulmate now. I'm just crying replaying this. When you find that person, don't let them go damitt!!! Sometimes it's to late.
" show me the one i need the most" i felt that 🔥
I hadn't heard this band before and they are so good. Enjoyed the song, performance, sax, steel guitar, they are so rare in today's music. CONGRATS & Good Luck to the Band!!!!
I'm also so sorry for your loss. I'm 65 years old and heard this song for the first time a year ago and was struck by how true it is for people my age. I meet someone now and think wow I wish I'd had the benefit of knowing you longer
I'm 59 yrs old and this song takes me back to 1981!!
LITERALLY WHY AM I JUST HEARING THIS HOLY SHIT I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
WHY am i so addicted to this song!?!
Alan Allos because it's really good
Alan Allos i keep replayin this song
I heard it for the first time yesterday and Im so addicted!! ☺
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.
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.
Amazing how youtube can give you a beautiful song to make your day when you need it the most.
Vinay Sagar yep
❤️⭐️
Yo vinay,that's kool.music is powerfull.you made my day dude.😎🌞
For whatever the reason I don’t know this song made me cry my eyes out idk why maybe thinking about all those chances I had back when I was younger and never just asked them out…
I love the meaning of the video. The song liryc is very touching. And the band could not be much batter. Love it
I need more saxophone in my life. I am loving this song so much right now, constant play.
You need you some Candy Dulfer then. Check her out!
Check out Outro by Vulfpeck. Thank me later ;)
saxophone definitely
Drew Bailey and the brother
Kasey McCabe sexophone
It sounds great. It has a 70s vibe but really timeless.
negassi k. seyoum it's the sax
Agreed but I wish the guy didn’t have that silly hat on
If you saw his hair you'd understand why. He has cut it though and it looks much better.
You know to be honest I thought it was a black man singing then again looking at this music video pretty much disappointed .
Z Why does his race matter?
I met a man once and fell completely in love. I haven't seen him since. I hope one day to see him again.
GodSpeed
Don’t give up
I met my wife in high school 37 years now and love it every day.
I don't know why but this song gives me a sense of happy sadness If that makes any sense?
Just like the song everybody's changing by keane...it has like this maybe 60's feel to it but then it's also sad,you should check it out . This song right here reminds me of that type of happy but sad feeling too
Right? Same here. It's weird.
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.
Dieses Leid isn’t sehr traurigfroh

I love this video so much omg it's perfect for the song
👍
One of the best songs to come out in the past 20 years.
