A Great Big World - Where Does the Time Go

[@Ezekiel400lux]

I remember hearing this song in a restaurant almost 2 years ago. I wrote the lyrics on my palm and had to search for it. This song moved me.

[@89ksokd91]

You know it's the voice of the universe moving you in moments like this

[@dawnheard1263]

My daughters colorguard group just performed their year show to this song, 11th graders. Was so beautiful and meaningful for them this year...moved us all.

[@graciebentley1421]

Such a beautiful song. Thank you.

[@rachelhart2576]

My feeling, when I heard this song and lyrics.

[@susanatinoco8861]

I typed in the words "Where does the time go" not knowing I would end up here reading beautiful comments of encouragement despite the feeling of melancholy. I am torn wanting to treasure all the moments in the present and longing to know what will become. It is a struggle accepting those things we cannot change and seeing how we are all connected. Time is a measurement of distance from one point to another... when we remember, that distance is shortened and we can project ourselves in time and space. Blessings in disguise, the good and bad live on in our memories as love and lessons.

[@leakypfaucet]

Thank you

[@sharonbaulch]

Thanks for your words I needed to hear them.

[@wokeness420]

Yep. I actually just randomly searched it too.

[@dwaynebrimhall3920]

I have read your comment from time to time over the past 4 years. The older I get, the more it rings true.

[@MasudRana-qv1tf]

This is best song miss time or miss lifeline old year 2020

[@dariusketchup4781]

Make the most of what you have now. Tell the ones you love how much they mean to you. The past is gone except in memory, the future has not come yet and is uncertain. All we have is NOW.

[@okaykatieokay]

i'm in my senior year of high school and this just made me really nostalgic in looking back over some of the beautiful moments i've had with my friends before we go our separate ways next year edit: it's now september 2017 (10 months after originally posting this comment) and yep re-watching this has made me cry. most of my friends are going off to different uni's next year, and time really does escape you. to those still in school (or sixth form like i was) i know it's tough and trust me i cried most days from the stress, but it goes so quickly and before you know it you're saying goodbye to everything that was a constant and certain in your life. don't throw it away. we are (and i am) to young to keep looking back, because whenever we do that we stop living for now, and loose this time. anyway, that was longer than i was expecting lol. bye now

[@PranatharthiharanG]

didsomebodysaykatie I finished my senior year just a few months back.. trust me when i say this. u are gonna miss everyone and every single freaking thing, ever.

[@76normen]

didsomebodysaykatie you will miss them so freaking bad, but eventually you will move on and remember them with love forever

[@gillfish99]

didsomebodysaykatie I totally agree with what you said.... Very sad to think about

[@kaylahoran-irwin8023]

Literally same. It makes me want to cry

[@jordanpotato2199]

didsomebodysaykatie that is sad

[@aidanlam5336]

This really hit home today. Im in my final 3 weeks of high school and today one of our fellow students passed away of Cancer. The lyrics do make me reflect not only on how time has scarily flown by, but also about how it was cut all too short for our deceased friend. Thank you for this beautiful song, it really touched my heart.

[@sierrasnow5566]

Your comment touched me. This song is truly powerful. My grandmother died of cancer, and I have never stopped missing her. But life always finds a way to make sense in the end. Like the song says: "some dots they won't connect until the years go by".

[@just-a-tactician076]

Here's a different one for you: I just came home from a mission from my church. I was supposed to serve for 18 months but it ended up only being 8 due to the whole COVID thing. I was in a rough patch. But I think I'll be okay now. God's got a plan and it'll all be good.

[@triss.2540]

I get so sad everytime I think about the future I won't be in, It'll be a whole new generation of kids and teens. I wish I could stay or live for thousands of years.

[@Moustache2312]

and experience all the new things that will be invented and to see how the history will turn out. i would love to know that. which authors will be talked about as remarkable, who had an influence during these times, what fashion there´ll be or if we will live only in virtual reality.

[@marauderinchief6858]

mariakk The month of February, year 2018 .

[@anuragtiwari8699]

Then it would not be fun to live...at certain point new inventions and most of these things will not matter to you....cause you have enough of new experiences and just want to Remember the one you already had your childhood,memories of people u love and more.You must have heard that 'a limited life is a meaningful life'.Hope you my friends are enjoying and living everyday of your life to its most.Be happy and make others too.

[@benhunter9145]

"mariakk' you have and will...Unless you make your Acension. Then you can be anywhere you'd like to be!

[@phil_soria]

you're not alone in that. read Brief History of Thought by Luc Ferry.

[@poppekul]

Use this song every year when showing photos of the year that's passed. I work in a kindergarten and this always brings out the tears and all the moms come ask me "What's the name of that song?" It is one of the most beautiful songs ever written

[@victoriaedge2011]

so many of their songs are just heartbreakingly beautiful and feel like they were written specifically for a moment in time in my life. They are intimate like that and sometimes a total gut-punch as to how accurate and devastatingly sad.

[@charleswoolley8367]

"Life doesn't always give us answers"... that is all to true. I think many of us want to "hold onto the moment we're in", at some point in our lives. This song is a wake-up call, to appreciate those special times in our lives.

[@maryem9225]

I listen to this song once a year on my birthday. 4th year now. I’m 21. I’m so glad I not only made it, but that I love what I have. See you next year.

[@bryantdeluna1542]

It is my senior year and this song just reminds me of everything that has a happened in my life as of now. I miss those times but I hope to look back on all these things and look at it with laughter and as times that made me what I will become. I hope to read this back in the future and know that all I desire came to life. As they said for now I just want to hold onto the moment I’m in. 🙂

[@JustARegularYoutuberBTTF]

All of these comments saying: "I am a senior and I want to relive high school" It make me appreciate being a kid :)

[@sleverlight]

CamFusion Enjoy it while you can

[@SubscribersWithNoVideos-in9jh]

CamFusion I’m in high school and I want to get the hell out of it and when I do get out of it I’ll NEVER want to go back

[@priyamtarafder8324]

yeah me too... but this makes me feel sad on thinking that these moments won't come back again

[@oscarmendez7549]

Haha I am listening to this after my high school graduation

[@Ryan-bk3ig]

I'm 14 now and I can say I never had a normal childhood but it was fun

[@ashfahridita205]

'Some dots won't connect until the years go by'.. ugh so painfully true

[@FXG.]

After 6yrs here I am listening 🎧 again 😢❤

[@barbarariedel6432]

Love this song-- so many memories! Brings back Simon and Garfunkel songs!

[@jadisjoy]

A Great Big World! Your music means so so much to me. I can't even remember how many times it helped me get through tough periods in my life. So, I just want to say thank you, for being by my side, and comforting me. Thank you!

[@carysmoroney2854]

Me and my mum went on a trip through Europe and while we were in France, my mum met up with a friend she hadn't seen for 34 years. I'm listening to this song, and all I can think about is them going through all their old photos, and then saying goodbye to her and her family. I promised to come back to visit, but I hope it doesn't take me too long.....

[@EpiCuber7]

I absolutely love the two people sitting in the back with a picnic for almost the entire video. Adds so much to the background detail of this video.

[@haiyentran1426]

it's 23:03 and i have an exam tomorrow... i was going to sleep but i saw the notification so... here i am because of A Great Big World 💚

[@kamleshbarah9899]

Minô Trần. 😂😂same here

[@sehoonjung630]

I graduated yesterday and I'm leaving this town for high school. I go back to the pictures I and my friends took years ago while listening to this song and it makes my heart feel empty...

[@aurora_boketto7746]

The nostalgia is realll My whole face feels numb and the memories are super vibrant

[@caitlinscorner5414]

this is my absolute favorite song that you guys have created, thank you for this beautiful gift.

[@FXG.]

The song had messages... it’s trying to pass on.

[@zainebalbayaa6902]

Well said thank you 🙏🏻

[@zabmaster8833]

I remember first hearing this song about 5 or 6 years ago when the senior girls from my dance studio were leaving. I didn’t realize how much this song is true until now. I’m a senior in high school and today is my last day of school. Everyone I have ever known is making their own paths and I’m about to make my own. It all feels so crazy and just leads you to think, Where Does the Time Go?

[@pepperninja]

So therapeutic and gentle ~ I love this.

[@PopArtPosters]

To all the young people reading this, live and love life to the full. Don't waste a moment of your life as the years will pass in a heartbeat. One moment you are 18 and before you know it you are 55. "Youth's a mask and it don't last, live it long and live it fast"

[@vionasephalia6634]

The most beautiful song I’ve ever heard in my life, the lyrics, the melody...

[@HuyenNguyen-vr1hq]

Where does the time go? I don't want this to end Where does the time go? Let's hang on to the moment we're in Of all the things we will remember The good, the bad, and all the blessings in disguise Today will stick with me forever Even if we have to say goodbye Where does the time go? I keep losing track Where does the time go? We're too young to get lost looking back Life doesn't always give us answers Some dots they won't connect until the years go by If we're not meant to be together Some day we'll know the reasons why Of all the things we will remember The good, the bad, and all the blessings in disguise Today will stick with me forever Even if we have to say goodbye Where does the time go? I don't want this to end Where does the time go? Let's hang on to the moment we're in

[@Thomas-ob9ns]

So no joke I found an elementary yearbook tonight and it just kinda hit me hard because these are all people you grow up with and I just started typing in names to see where they were at now on Facebook and man to see like a few of them have passed away from accidents or drug addiction it’s tough to realize time really does fly by

[@Grace-zd6ic]

As a senior in high school, this hits hard. :')

[@gillfish99]

I am going to audition to sing this song at my graduation with my friend from kindergarten. It would be very emotional for sure.

[@Grace-zd6ic]

Gillfish99 aw good luck!!

[@gillfish99]

Thank you :)

[@zacherybaldwin8491]

Wait till you’re 26, enjoy what time you have with friends and family.🙂

[@kristoforwilson9581]

I discovered this song at 37. I love it. Embrace the passing of time. Cherish the memories!

[@cocasias8678]

Spend time with people you love because when they are gone you cant go back in time. Tell them everything you have to now and leave nothing out. watching my dad die and now my moms health is failing. When you look back at your child hood and see what it was like then and now. You really ask yourself where does the time go.

[@BriannaGrace-bx4rj]

Still my favorite duo!! Love this song so much. I remember listening to it my 8th grade year and now I’ve just graduated from highschool. Song fits perfectly

[@PeteLunnRecords]

Classic songwriting, these boys are just brilliant.

[@uniekjohson7371]

Ian you have such a beautiful soul don't change

[@sofiamenendez7228]

I got something to add, as a teen, this song really represets my life right now. I am always thinking about it..

[@angelaterry1205]

My sister sent me this song the other day..its been a year since our Mom passed. Such a good song!

[@jaypandey3786]

This takes your anger through pain ...tears...sadness and finally contentment.

[@tp3650]

Seen, it twice, Cried both times brothers of this world. Cried every time since.

[@josealex530]

So peaceful and relaxing song... Thanks guys! Greetings from Brazil!!!

[@midtownjohn]

This is my favorite song off the album. Basic, stripped down, poignant, melodic and personal. You should make more music like this .

[@mikethies3842]

Dear A GREAT BIG WORLD. I love your music. I just wanted to congratulate you both on such great songs. keep up,the great work and never stop giving us, your FANS, the pleasures of hearing your music. I love you guys. Great Job.

[@lalnghenchhanakhawlhring4529]

Some dots they won't connect until the years go by.........

[@bender21man]

I love that line too

[@victoriaedge2011]

Some dots never will, that is a hard lesson to learn

[@lizlatorre797]

Y'all out here talking about high school but high school was a lifetime ago for me. Today my son learned that Santa Claus isnt real bc hes at that age and I am feeling this song so hard right now.

[@LoriSamu]

Right on time, that was exactly what i needed to hear atm

[@rajeevpradhan5511]

Spend every precious moment with your loved ones. Just lost a friend to cancer. She suggested that we should go for lunch which I did not do it. My biggest regret. I would give anything to have one last lunch with her and see her face and let her know that everything will be fine. It has been so hard to deal with this.

[@flymode5320]

I just fall in love with this song, i cant stop listening over and over again......so nostalgic.... Come to Portugal, please, we love u here!!

[@estherng7393]

I hope they play this song in my graduation, which is in a year. cause we are all gonna cry a river and it's gonna be a beautiful memory

September 19th, 2019. it's my 28th birthday, and I just heard this song. I don't what I feel, but I just smile in tears while watching this music video.... all the memories about my old friends come over me in a rush.

[@meganbarineau3290]

Every single bit of music you guys put out makes me so happy

[@madi8715]

Honestly, who disliked this? I don't understand how anyone could dislike such a pretty song. Personally, I love it.

[@muhammadhaziq6828]

Couple weeks left before I finished high school. This hit me tremendously hard

[@nike0991rocky]

My sisters and I dedicated this to our grandma and grandpa who both passed this last year. So in memorial my sister and I got lyrics tatted wrapping around our legs .

[@edissanaomyy1361]

My sister just got married! And we were very close! Listening to this song reminds me of the wedding and all the memories i have with her and it makes me cry. I wish i could go back in time.😭💗

[@isypa2180]

Usually i watch/hear a song 6 months after it's shown in KZbin but since it came 3 hours ago why not.

[@_marimopeace]

I remember finding this video right when it came out and going *cri* as I thought about growing up and here I am now, a senior in high school, still crying about growing up. It's not that I'm just scared of all the unknowns, but I fear losing myself in all the nostalgia I feel as I look back in time q-q honestly I'm such a sentimental baby.

[@TheBananaDeanna]

It's 12:22 am in my family we never say goodbye, and I never say goodbye! We say until we see each other again 😊

[@kaylahoran-irwin8023]

Wow, this song is so much sadder when I connect it to senior year of high school & missing all of my friends.

[@gillfish99]

This song is so good! It makes me sad looking back at my life and everything that has happened.

[@allistephens7552]

I used to sing this when I was with my boyfriend now it's been 7 months since we broke up. I miss him but like the song says we won't know the answers until the years go by. I miss you, thank you for being my first ♥️

[@samcartmusic]

This has always been one of my favorite songs by A Great Big World. So happy you guys made a video for it!

[@beckwells25]

Today marks the last day of my 8th grade year and I've been singing this since last night. I knew it would make me cry but I had to hear it because today is the last day I will ever go to school with my best friend who is moving and the last day of middle school, the past three years of my life. This helped, I think. Thanks boys. Edit: I walked home from school today. It was somewhere around a half hour walk and I started playing this song close to my house. I kid you not, it ended the second I sat on the couch. If that wasn't perfect timing I will never know what is.

[@-homechord-2908]

This song feels like rain

It was my high school senior graduation song. Class of 2016. I was in choir and it was really emotional having all of the graduating seniors in their gowns singing this with the rest of the choir before everyone walked down the aisle.
