Alkaline Trio - '97

[@bradleygoodwin2018]

This is top Alky song. Will always be. Brutal, emotional, and such raw playing. Nobody in the world can come up with something better than "thorn in my side the size of a Cadillac, and backing it out now would be next to impossible". Bro, even if you havent tried to back a Cadillac out.... you know that shit is next to impossible. Skiba seriously is the songbird of my generation.

Easily one of my top 5 favorite trio songs

Their new song sent me here (was playing on the video's intro) Awesome song

[@alfredogranados4957]

Yo me too! Never heard this song before today! It's so damn good I'm sorry I didn't hear it when I was younger but I'm glad to have discovered it

[@theawsmsauce]

I was born in 97. And love this song unconditionally.

First off I love aK3. Second 1997 was one of the best and most pivotal times of my life, during college. Song gets me even to this day. Ended things with my first true love....arrrg!

[@Capnsensible80]

This isn't a love song; it's about not being able to smoke weed due to being on probation for 18 months "When I was with you I forgot about everything 18 months 18 months seems like fucking eternity And you'll be there To dry my eyes When I breathe you in In 97"

[@briangrandis7752]

This song should be a classic....

I couldn't agree with a comment any more.

[@iraplikeyoubreathe]

This song is about when matt got in trouble and couldnt smoke weed anymore, its a love song to weed.

[@ryanroose6124]

Pure Chicago punk. Saw them at a face-to-face show at 9:30 club.

[@nezukokamado4238]

Saw them in Chicago open for Face to face with a very new Kid Dynamite around 2000

[@RyanRoose-n5v]

That might be the tour I was thinking about. I remember seeing kid dynamite too at 9:30 club. I remember thinking this is kind of like suicide machines but their own stuff. It was so long ago thanks for that.

[@MichaelSileno]

Very fitting for the lyrics and subject matter of this song that my like turned out to be number 420.

[@91espen]

Best song from them!

[@matthewhaas3263]

I don’t deserve this (to have heard such a masterpiece)

[@lukefenwick1607]

How the fuck do you write a song this emotional about weed man? Amazing

[@captainspaul]

RHCP Give It Away. & Black Sabbath Sweet Leaf are also 2 true love songs about the bud...

supposedly its about how he got probation and had to stop smoking weed for "18 months"

[@pupinskimcgee]

E F interesting, never thought of it that way; but it makes sense.

[@timpo717]

Myth

Twas what I heard too

[@gorz859]

And all this time we thought it was about a relationship lol

[@UnlikelyWeTry]

@@timpo717 makes sense to me. Why else would 18 months be the time period he gets relief?

This song is about pot. He was on probation. But he’ll be able to breathe “you” in again when he’s off probation in ‘97. Sciba said so himself. He has 18 months probation..

[@miastrong151]

@@Urza216 I don't believe that.
