To both of my brothers, I miss you both every day and wish you both were still here. Greg you were my best friend! John you will always be my baby brother and my daughters favorite uncle! I hope you both found peace! Love C
"She fell in love in the first place" as if the singer's trying to convince himself it's her fault she took her own life...amazingly deep and haunting lyrics.
You may find in life that these things are never so simple. Guilt is a pain that one can never escape wether it is true or not. In truth we cannot cast judgment for we can not see into her heart nor his. Only she can know.
When you live on & the other doesn't, you need to lay the blame where it needs to be. You will not live life otherwise & you will have a life of pain & hurt The burn of guilt never leaves
5-19-20 on my birthday I lost an amazing person to cancer. A guy that made a huge impact on my life for the better. Looked up to him like family. Used to fly a plane to Nantucket island every morning, & night, and worked with him every day. He was my mentor. After work we would drive back to the plane jamming to this song. He would catch a ride with me back to his house after landing, we would smoke a fat doobie and play music in his studio.. This was our song. Listening to this now brings tears of joy, and precious memories we shared. He was one of the best people I knew. And he was so musically talented. Never forget. RIP ARTY THE ONE MAN PARTY.
@@maxwellsmart6487 a woman touches her face often. A touch of the nose means no, across the brow feeling belittled. Touch her cheekbone and face fell at that moment all in😉
This reminds me of a friend who committed suicide in high school. He and his gf had broken up after prom and everyone in the school blamed her. But it wasn’t her fault. She ended up switching schools. The whole thing was horrific.
I miss you brother we were merely freshmen when you left. I see your face in your little girls I know you can see it and are so proud of her. Rest in peace know it's not your fault cant wait to see you
Makes me think of how important it is to communicate n see thru to the light n love that love will hold you and restore you to the love that you are. Very Christed Song. Forgive n Love yourself.
I remember those Sunday afternoons in my sun-lit bedroom. Whenever I hear this song back then, it reminded me of my yesteryears. Now in my early 30s, boy just how much feels this song brings now all those decades have gone by.
I was a freshman at the time when this song was a hit on the radio. It reminds me of playing freshman football in the fall of 1997. We had a struggling team, but we learned to win in the end.
So sad, all these songs of kids murdering their children for convenience. Condoms are free at any state service center. Sometimes in bathrooms of gas stations. Was when I was a teen.
Damn bro, you are an old man now... really...an old man. I can remember all the things i planned to do after i got out of parent's house. Things didn't really take the turn i wanted them to.
When I was young I knew everything And she, a punk who rarely ever took advice Now I'm guilt-stricken, sobbin' with my head on the floor Stopped a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice, no Can't be held responsible She was touchin' her face I won't be held responsible She fell in love in the first place For the life of me I can not remember What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise For the life of me I can not believe we'd ever die For these sins We were merely freshmen My best friend took a week's vacation to forget her His girl took a week's worth of valium and slept And now he's guilt-stricken, sobbin' With his head on the floor Thinks about her now and how he never really wept he said Can't be held responsible She was touchin' her face I won't be held responsible She fell in love in the first place For the life of me I can not remember What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise For the life of me I can not believe we'd ever die For these sins We were merely freshmen We tried to wash our hands of all of this We'd never talk of our lacking relationships And how we're guilt-stricken sobbin' with our heads on the floor We fell through the ice when we tried not to slip we'd say Can't be held responsible She was touchin' her face I won't be held responsible She fell in love in the first place For the life of me I can not remember What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise For the life of me I can not believe we'd ever die For these sins We were merely freshmen For the life of me I can not remember What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise For the life of me I can not believe we'd ever die For these sins We were merely freshmen We were merely freshmen We were only freshmen
ts like he is singing about me, this song is so relatable. The song takes me back into many great memories. Life moves so fast and when you're young you have no idea.
Eh, I mean they were in high school. Bummer, but at least they could go on with their lives and have kids when they were ready, albeit not together, but still
In 2001, Brian Vander Ark explained what the song means to him: "When I was young I knew everything" - We all think we know everything at a young age. I thought I did. I realize I didn't know sh*t until I was 36. "And she, a Punk who rarely took advice" - How many people do we know like that? "Now I'm guilt-stricken, sobbing, with my head on the floor" - Something happened that caused this reaction, but I wouldn't want to give that away this early in the song, so let's throw in an some ambiguity: "Stop a baby's breath, and a shoe full of rice, no" - First of all, forget the NO. Stop a baby's breath is just that. Abort the baby. A shoe full of rice is a result of a wedding. So - stop a baby's breath AND then you stop a wedding. She's pregnant, get her to abort, and then there's no wedding. And you know what? "I can't be held responsible, cause she was touching her face" - When I wrote this song, The Divinyls had a song out called 'I Touch Myself.' The TV was on, she was touching her face in the video. Very sexy. So, I can't be held responsible because she was trying to be sexy, trying to seduce me, etc. "I won't be held responsible, she fell in love in the first place" - I didn't tell her to fall in love. "For the life of me, I cannot remember what made us think that we were wise, and we'd never compromise" - What was I thinking back then? Who am I to put a girl though that? Why was I unable to compromise? Guilty feelings. "For the life of me, I cannot believe we'd ever die for these sins, we were merely freshmen" - We were just kids, let it go, we all make mistakes, etc. "My best friend took a week's vacation to forget her" - He needed to get away because of what happened. "His girl took a week's worth of Valium and slept" - This is why this song is not that strong literally - it's confusing. HIS girl is MY girl. The same girl that had the abortion has now killed herself. "Now he's guilt-stricken, sobbing with his head on the floor, thinks about her now and how he never really wept he says" - He has the same guilty feelings that I do about the abortion and death. "We tried to wash our hands of all of this, we never talk of our lacking relationships" - We rarely spoke after the incident - we just tried to forget it. We never spoke of her or the fact that we can't have a decent relationship with anyone since then. "We fell through the ice when we tried not to slip" - No matter how careful you might be, there are other perils out there. The girl is real, the abortion is real. The death is not. It's poetic license to make the story more interesting.
This lyrics is just perfect if you want to sing along and don't know the next line. Many lyric vids show th lyrics the same time as the song drops it. Thanks for showing it a few seconds or milliseconds in advance before the vocals say it.
As a child I use to fall asleep in the summer with the clock radio on. One morning, I had a dream that I was in the bathroom of my elementary school(which I was still attending at the time) and was being attacked by bullies and other, nondescript, mean people with pots and pans of all things. loI. Suddenly I noticed a pool of water, and jumped into it to escape them. As soon as I splashed into the water, a cool, soothing feeling came over me and this song, The Freshmen, started(On the radio and in my dream). The beginning coincided perfectly with me hitting the water. Underwater I had no trouble breathing, and as the song played I explored what I realised was the Simpsons' (Matt Groening's) house, flooded. There were sharks swimming around in circles so I had to avoid them, like it was a video game. Despite the sharks (which were easy to avoid) it was a very peaceful feeling dream, with this song playing in the background. Ever since, I have always liked this song. My advice to you all out there is to leave your radio on when you go to sleep, because it will compliment your dreams in beautiful ways.
I once knew a girl who liked this song, she even wrote a songfic to go with it. I haven't heard from her in about sixteen years. She just disappeared. Wish I could see her one last time.
Omg.. 😆 I made my own lyrics.. Glad to get the lyrics to this I like this song remember you sung this...❤💕💞 your always just a memory away...baby RTGR11. 😆 I forgot what I was gonna say... 😆 I LOVE YOU THO... ALWAYS THINKING OF YOU BABY. ❤💕💞
I remember listening to this when I was about to be a freshman. I was going through what I call my "pro-life panic phase", so the abortion reference really upset me at the time. Now two years have gone by and I'm almost a junior, but sometimes those days feel like yesterday... I never thought she would die hearing me scream her sins. I was a mere freshman... 😭💔🏥😇🌹
@nabs005 Actually if you listen to the lyrics, "Stopping baby's breath, and a shoe full of rice.." it's about the guy not wanting to get married and therefore wanting the girl to get an abortion. He even begs off responsibility with the line, "Can't be held responsible she was touching her face" she seduced him, and, "Can't be held responsible, she fell in love in the first place". The whole relationship was unwanted.
As a woman, I'd say she was ultimately responsible for her own body but for him to not take any responsibility for their relationship is absolutely wrong and unacceptable. This whole song to me is him trying to bury his own guilt.
This message should be played to every highcshool and college "activist" who thinks they know better. "what made us think that we were wise and that we'd never compromise, we were merely freshman"
"Stop a baby's breath, and a shoe full of rice, no" - First of all, forget the NO. Stop a baby's breath is just that. Abort the baby. A shoe full of rice is a result of a wedding. So - stop a baby's breath AND then you stop a wedding. She's pregnant, get her to abort, and then there's no wedding.
@@IAmFromTheTop Thank you for that explanation. I have goosebumps all over. I never knew thats what those lyrics meant. The rice part I assumed something about a wedding but the baby's breath I thought he was talking about the flower. Which is used a lot in weddings. 😪

You will not live life otherwise & you will have a life of pain & hurt
The burn of guilt never leaves
@@StinkyBlack1 it’s nobody’s fault things just happen
I'm to dumb to get it! but I've sung it in the car a million times!
2020 and still listening to this and yet still get goosebumps
Fact
Song makes me cry often.
Very great song. Also get goosebumps from it as well.
It's a great song.
Agreed I absolutely love this song and it definitely gets me in my feelings 🤩

This Song Is The Best Back In The 90's Miss The Old Days
Frieza! Gaming yes it's a nice songs
What's up with the* she was touching her face*? It's in a few different songs. Please, I'm serious!
@@maxwellsmart6487 a woman touches her face often. A touch of the nose means no, across the brow feeling belittled. Touch her cheekbone and face fell at that moment all in😉
So glad I came across this song after all these years! One of my favorites!!
This reminds me of a friend who committed suicide in high school. He and his gf had broken up after prom and everyone in the school blamed her. But it wasn’t her fault. She ended up switching schools. The whole thing was horrific.
geezes... people dont realize how unbelievably cruel kids can be.
Wow .. never really knew how powerful this song is! Love your unborn kids!
This song is probably offensive by today's standards
@g b I'm surprised it's even allowed air play. I said the same thing when Lola by The Kinks played recently.
Forget the Pandemic listen to this song and go back to the 90's
I miss you brother we were merely freshmen when you left. I see your face in your little girls I know you can see it and are so proud of her. Rest in peace know it's not your fault cant wait to see you
One of the greatest songs I’ve heard in my lifetime.
im old and i think its great
Makes me think of how important it is to communicate n see thru to the light n love that love will hold you and restore you to the love that you are. Very Christed Song.

Can't be held responsible
She was touchin' her face
I won't be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place
For the life of me

What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
For the life of me
I can not believe we'd ever die
For these sins
We were merely freshmen
My best friend took a week's vacation to forget her
His girl took a week's worth of valium and slept
And now he's guilt-stricken, sobbin'
With his head on the floor
Thinks about her now and how he never really wept he said
Can't be held responsible
She was touchin' her face
I won't be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place
For the life of me
I can not remember
What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise

What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
For the life of me
I can not believe we'd ever die
For these sins
We were merely freshmen
We were merely freshmen
We were only freshmen

You get a sweet voice by not talking. Believe me you're there, ya don't need to prove it to anyone especially your shelf
"Shoe of rice fell" is the correct lyrics
"Stop a baby's breath, and a shoe full of rice, no" - First of all, forget the NO. Stop a baby's breath is just that. Abort the baby. A shoe full of rice is a result of a wedding. So - stop a baby's breath AND then you stop a wedding. She's pregnant, get her to abort, and then there's no wedding.
@@IAmFromTheTop Thank you for that explanation. I have goosebumps all over. I never knew thats what those lyrics meant. The rice part I assumed something about a wedding but the baby's breath I thought he was talking about the flower. Which is used a lot in weddings. 😪
It’s probably a deliberate double meaning - choosing “baby’s breath” because the wording also fits with the wedding imagery.
I'm sorry I couldn't edit the lyrics in the video anymore, tnx for listening anyways.
