This tune has a late 90's to an early 2000's sound. I dig it!

[@ibrahimkamityoutube]

ya'll keep GIVING AND SERVING!!!!!!!!!!!! we are too damn blessed

[@morganandlauren]

This makes me proud of being 27. It feels like the new coming of age tale is the 30 flirty and thriving time of you life.

[@nooneofnote8661]

the way it should be!!

[@leipura4214]

Yes!

[@kinzua38]

Yes!!

[@Arcsol93]

Tbh, I've always hated the perception that you're "old" after your 20's.

[@linzlu7051]

Check out aging anxiety by kara lowenthiel to explore this thought even more!! 😍😍 awesome feminist pod cast!

[@tylericious1]

AJ, leak everything now. We won't tell.

[@alyandaj]

I want to

[@chlo3974]

@@alyandaj don’t be shy, drop some hints

[@sxmpxp]

This deserves a grammy

[@tihahzkwn]

this is so underrated :(((((((((((((

[@laurajustsayintee2959]

I love the line “watch the sunrise, sunset same day, when’s the last time we did that anyway”

[@camilleboudville3043]

This could easily be played at the end of a coming of age film

[@nooneofnote8661]

The fact this has been out for like 5 hours and it doesn't have a Grammy yet is weird right?? Honest to god, perfection. Some people make music, Aly & AJ make Louvre worthy ART.

[@youngrighteous699]

Currently sobbing happily

[@jessicam6276]

Why is all their music just the perfect vibe...

[@Sarahca323]

BUT LITERALLY EVERY SONG

[@carrielewis6520]

how’d y’all get so lucky with golden hour lighting for the filming process

[@alyandaj]

we were very specific about when we'd shoot and how much natural light we had. shot on kodak film

Song of the yearrrr

[@ANonyMouse627]

this video is stunning 😢

[@camilleboudville3043]

“All the pretty places pull us away from where the pain is” - love this line.

[@mariawelch7343]

I've turned my kids at work into Aly & AJ stans! I work in a residential treatment facility for kids who don't have families or are recovering from trauma and most haven't been home in months. One of my 12 year olds begged me to wake him up at midnight to listen to this song (we're gonna listen together in the morning hehe). You guys are impacting more lives than you know, thank you :)

[@MeAVE243]

You are giving those kiddos an amazing gift!

[@janeecahtagle2833]

That is so beautiful!!! I hope everyone's safe and happy there despite everything. Wish the kids all good things in life always 💖

[@darleneburns4863]

It was destiny for me to see this comment. My sister who I have guardianship of is currently attending her third stay at a mental health facility for suicidal ideation and attempts and I’ve been working to get her into an inpatient treatment facility. This gives me hope for her trauma and feelings at such a young age. Thank you for all you are doing 💜

[@TheStepmonkey]

You're an awesome person❤

[@Friendstoyourend]

@@darleneburns4863 PLEASE do research before sending your sister to a place like that as alot of those kinds of places are actually quite abusive to their paitents

[@tayler6281]

This song is everything.

[@Imallwrite212]

All your songs make me feel like I'm on a road trip

[@RobertCarneyII]

As someone that’s literally been following since the beginning, this is your best song. It’s so euphoric, so airy, so you. I have never been more proud as a fan. ♥️

[@lukeycharms]

agreed it’s my favorite so far

[@rebeccadavis2564]

My exact thought! Couldn’t be more proud as a fan from the very beginning!!

[@EyesSetToKillOnU]

oh to be on a road trip with Aly & AJ....perfect driving tunes.

[@yourfavouritesongs96]

STRAIGHT TO MY PLAYLIST

[@jessicacovey4337]

The 5:20 I spent watching/listening to this made me feel like there’s hope and a future. Like life is there to live and that there are still pretty places. In the least cliche way I can say this; I didn’t know I needed to hear it.

[@Only1Nickster]

Anyone else just crying over this masterpiece of a video

[@macynecaise]

yes.

[@payita6931]

im crying so hard

In Germany we have a word called "Fernweh" which basically means "far sickness" or "travel ache" and this song reminds me of that feeling.

My current boyfriend took me to pretty places that literally made me forget about all the pain my ex put me through. This is what made me fall in love with him. He made remember how I used to look at life.

[@BrookScottOfficial]

Happy you moved on. I will pray for you☺️❤️ keep strong

[@idanoreilly]

It’s SO vital to specify that he’s your CURRENT boyfriend! If you hadn’t said “current”, people would have thought you were talking about your ex boyfriend if you had just said “my boyfriend” alone!!😂

This is one of their best songs
