This hits me like a ton of bricks. My friend passed away about two months ago from a fentanyl overdose. I got sober and she didnt. I will never stop feeling guilty.

This is incredible. Is this the record label page???

Sitting in my apartment screaming with the crowd was cathartic tonight.

Gosh! Without even looking into the lyric… I can’t imagine the devastation the dude has going through. Insane vocals. Absolutely pouring his heart out.

Every song in the catalog!

My ex girlfriend took her life 02 September. She struggled heavily with substance abuse. She was maybe 3-4 days out of rehab when she did it. I have a text from her from a couple days before she did it. She was talking about how she wanted to go to Switzerland. Our relationship wasn't great but that doesn't mean I wanted her to die. I try not to talk about it much cause I feel like I'm drawing attention to myself

Good God, I love Matt's vocals at 2:30

Wow

Jesus christ I'm getting all misty eye'd listening to this. Listen to it like 100x when it released but 7 months of change man.... this hits different this time.

What a finale!! I couldn't avoid thinking about how my life has changed when the first record came out and today, from being a college student whose whole world used to be parties, friends and rock shows to a man that has to dealt with many of the Aaron problems, a miscarriage and a divorce last year got me struggling lately but the message is that everything will be fine in the end, Aaron is a fictional character but I feel like I have grown with him and I would give him a hug if I can for this beautiful message in his music

This song is so underrated, its a crime

This is the only man I know who can sing a song for a 10,000th time like he's just hearing it for the first.

The way that this song makes me sob uncontrollably on command every time it comes up. What a payoff for the people That have been here since the beginning.

im 26

Dan very kindly sent a video to my mates on their wedding day ❤️

The downfall of soupy as a singer needs to be studied

How there’s only 35 comments on this video is criminal.

Ben folds? Oh some Aaron guy...still good dude 👍

Yep, this hit me hard.

Slay!

"In lieu of flowers, shake the dirt off. I'm with you till The bitter end" I hope so Dan! This is my number 1 album of 24! Thank you for inspiring me to keep writing and playing shows thank you!

I mean the performance is beautiful and all but why does he have holes in his shirt?

Amazing! Dan and everyone else put together a absolute masterpiece. Aarons story over the last 10 Years is Movie worthy. Thank you for what youve given us

Should there be another record, then this would be a great bit of the real lore to add in.

Such a fitting and beautiful place for this song ♡

Thank you Dan and Co. for an amazing journey. I started listening 5 years ago after discovering Wonder Years, and it has been a rollercoaster of emotions listening to your music as I went through every hectic part of college.

if this is really the end of the story, Aaron, my word did you close the chapter with a bang.

Dead leaves on a dead tree hits different

Incredible how good it sounds completely raw

the fucking goosebumps i had when i realized what was happening. it transported me right back to where i was ten years listening to the first album. what a fucking album. what a fucking *project.* good lord.

This song's gonna be huge.

This amazing song is way too underrated!!! Also can anyone recommend more music like this🙏

Dude you’ve completely ruined music for me, and I mean that in the best possible way. The lyrics, the music, the very soul of basically any song Soupy puts out just hits me in the heart in a way few other songwriters or musicians have. It’s gotten to where I get bored listening to almost any other musicians other than TWY, AW&tR20’s, and Dan himself. I started listening to TWY back during The Greatest Generation, and the emotions behind that album just spoke to me and what I was going through at the time. I was lost and depressed, kinda just floating through life doing what my parents told me to do. Felt like I was wasting my life while everyone around me was moving forward in theirs. No Closer to Heaven dropped and again, going through yet another rough time in life, it was what I needed at the time. Sister Cities as well. Now Hum, and I finally got on my feet but I’m terrified of losing my footing, meanwhile I’m terrified for my nieces’ and nephews’ futures on top of that. Aaron West was therapeutic too, a story of compounding failures and not knowing how to break free of that. So thank you, Dan and the rest of the team(s). You’ve simultaneously ruined and raised my standards for music.

I would love more episodes!!

Aaron should come to Australia so he’s able to hear seagulls that sound different

Ok, but imagine he didn't catch the guitar at the end tho.

Thanks for flashing visuals the warning at start of vid 👍

The song smoking rooms is soo powerful, such a powerful ray of emotions and I can almost feel that pain through the sounds, translated emotions

Dan bringing up Paper Boats is my favorite.

You guys sound great!

Just met these guys at Panera bread catching a bite before a Seattle show. 😮😮😮

Ahhh that switch up in sounds is amazing. Love this band

10 years of following this journey has been incredible. My life has forever been changed by these stories and melodies. What an incredible album and a fantastic conclusion to a heartbreaking story of a person who just wants to heal. I will never forget what I’ve learned, how I’ve grown, and the tears I’ve shed. Thank you so much for this and for reminding us it’s okay to be broken. Pain only a chapter in our story and you are never alone in your struggles. Long live AW&TR20s ❤

I thought this song was the most gut wrenching track on the album… then I kept listening and… oh god

More!

Fantastic.

Holden, Dan, thank you! Thoroughly enjoyed this deep dive and can't wait to see Aaron and the band play live in the coming weeks on the UK tour! The album is incredible and I love that Holden gave it the full literary scholar treatment it deserves! 💛

Would love to hear the whole album, the whole AW20 discography, and then a retrospective on TWY's albums. BEGGING. I'll support in a heartbeat.

New album lets go

i would watch a hundred of these please please make more
