My Dad passed away this morning I'm sitting in a cafe with my fiance who will never be able to meet him now. This song is playing over the radio. I was, not as active in my Father's life, we lived on the other side of the country for most of my life. Far from him, and unable to regularly visit. He didn't have many friends and relied on me and my sisters for company via calls. I wish I'd taken more of those calls. I wish that I had picked up the phone last Saturday. Oh God how I wish. I miss you Dad, even more now because your voice is gone, your laugh, your booming presence. You were so goofy Dad. So good. I will always miss you. I love you Dad

[@wolffang1060]

Great song. But people are misinterpreting it. It does not sum up Boston. It's not about being from Boston and missing it. It's about someone getting out of the life they're used to and going somewhere new, where they can start fresh - no one knows his name, he can be someone new. I myself am feeling kind of the opposite; I'm from Boston and would love to move to California. This song is about anyone wanting to move and make a new life for himself.

@ Angela Brezenski What a subtle and observant comeback to an equally great initial observation on sunsets and sunrises! I’ve never thought about that! In both cases! And you’re right! Florida has both a west coast and an east coast. And now that you make me think about it the same thing is true of the Cape in Massachusetts, and probably a few other places. His experience may not have been as profound, sentimental, and touching but at least moving expenses would’ve been a lot cheaper for Augustana had he lived in Florida, or some other land where the sun both sets and rises over the ocean or oceans on both its coasts. Lol! I love subtlety! Thanks!

[@seantootell3316]

Actually that’s not what it means at all. It means he or the implied person is tired of heartbreak and bad times in life hence a “sun set which leads to darkness”, and life filled with darkness. They want more “sun rises’s” which is a metaphor for light in your life equating to happiness and and purpose. It’s actually way deeper than you originally thought.

[@nicktyrrel3182]

❤️

[@belleyreyes3080]

One of the best band for me and the most underrated band ever . No foul words , no sex, no drugs just pure talent like cold play

[@Sean.Duggan__]

No don’t compare cold play to this they have a song about getting drunk and high so there is drugs talk in cold play songs

[@amandahenderson6145]

This is my life right now. Stuck in a life and living os another state I hate but cannot leave right now. From boston so every time it makes me desperate to go back home

[@jjh111]

The waves crashing on the piano, drums, and musicians is very moving and effective in this

[@JJMedusa]

-- A friend of mine saw Augustana live last night and recommended that I listen to this song. I had never heard it before today!

[@willowbark5649]

Here's to all of us who wish we could start over..and to all of us who did.❤

[@Hootowlsonly]

Got to see him perform this live at the Owl City concert I went to in the fall. Mans has an absolutely *killer* voice 🔥🔥🔥

[@Gracenote35]

Same!! Been obsessed with this song ever since

[@eekalbb6654]

To the youth: Don’t let this song die.

[@jaykay1899]

I’m here

[@aimbuzz]

I really miss a good quality music like this era.

[@realdoozy2857]

It wasn't that long ago but I do miss this

[@ponceje2011]

lol

[@aspirationavenue]

I remember briefly seeing this music video as a kid one morning on VH1 and thought nothing of it. Now, years later, it was on a flash drive my friend gave to me with a bunch of music and now I'm obsessed with this song. Funny how life works.

[@AnouJoey]

I absolutely agree with you, this song is so old and nostalgic.

[@mattbaum399]

My non-verbal 10 year old's teacher just texted me that he was singing along to this song. I'm pretty sure this is my first time hearing it. No clue where he got it, but I'm down with anything that gives him words!

[@acidfruitloops]

Things that didn't happen

[@krissyehenderson8041]

​@acidfruitloops why you say that? My autistic nonverbal kid does the same thing

[@GabriellaBlack]

Omg...I totally forgot about this song... This song brings me back to 2007 and nostalgia washes over me...

[@mariadosteteclados]

me too, hahaha.

[@jonster7800]

I see what you did there.

[@johnsnow9456]

Damn ! As a 90's kid , i grew up on a song like this. Train , Snow patrol , Lifehouse , U2 , Coldplay , Hoobstak , Five for fighting , Keane...I want to go back. LIfe was tough , but music like this made life livable. Even Hip-hop and R&B were very decent back then...now...ughh

[@Checkersss]

Omg yes

[@taylornoelle1375]

yes.

[@moonshine5198]

+John Snow That band list tho

[@SpectreInk]

+John Snow Lifehouse and Switchfoot. God I miss those days.

[@Raithed]

+John Snow Fuck yeah dude.

[@roundtablerobot]

To me, this song represents the memories and the feelings of growing up as a teenager in the mid-2000s. Even if it were just for a day, I'd want to go back to 2005 :/

[@aiden2655]

If I had a dollar for everytime I said I wish I could go back...

[@Pyro_OW]

When I was young I grew up listening to this songs

[@brittanywalko3866]

I remember when this first came out xoxo

[@MoMo-206]

Like if you’re randomly thought about this song 10 yrs later

[@nathanwhite4715]

dont tell me what 2 do! and i did like also lol

[@neolee3477]

This is me tonight.

[@jc-diaz487]

Yessss!!!! Back in the days 😭

[@daymiendaydream]

I'm 2 months late but how did you know?! Are you a fortune teller? I thought about the Fray before this song came to mind, nice breakk from my usual edm :)

[@katinkaaa2951]

the fact that this is over 10 years ago is just insane to me

[@andrewparker4037]

First time hearing this song, and it just hits where it shouldn’t. Like I’ve known it all my life

[@thorntailband]

yes it has that good old 2000 song feel to it

[@codytylek7836]

Listen to better than Ezra, third eye blind non hits, and other great bands

[@TndPnyRCofficial]

Fun fact: the video was shot at Zuma Beach in Malibu, CA ALSO. The pianos in the video were all broken. Justin South (the drummer of the band) said that they were used for the sole purpose of getting wet, after they shot the video, they threw the pianos away but he didn’t want to lose the drum kit, so he did save the drum kit The band members had a crazy day during filming

[@djangolab1312]

It took me 20 years to find the title of this song. So happy I finally found it!!

[@luketanker6074]

It took me one month lol

[@kevjo13]

It took me 30 seconds on Google!

[@iseevivi]

2021 and I finally visited Boston! I was singing this song the whole time I was on my trip. It takes me back.

[@eliadavis3881]

lucky! i would be doing the same thing lol!

[@QUARTERMASTEREMI6]

I live not too far from Boston and it's certainly a special place! 😊

[@sarahlbrwp33]

This song makes me think of my younger brother, who moved to Boston to escape his Midwestern roots and be his true self... This song also reminds me that my brother and I have not lived in the same state for almost 17 years(sucks)... and this song also reminds me that no matter where you move...you can never really run from where you are from or your past ...

[@sharettaingram8587]

Mm-hmmm 💯 you take you with you...

[@atbattson]

Its funny its feels like it was a 90s song but it was way after. I have lived around Boston since 2003 but I do not recal this coming out when I lived here. It feels like it came out long before.

[@MaskedHeroCraig]

I like when the song gets quiet and then comes back with "Boston! Where no one knows my name…"

[@murdhonno_koi]

It's crazy how many people come back to this everyday. This song is legendary!

[@Maisa91]

WOW.....the feels .....memories......One tree hill.....Naley's wedding....Brucas Dance =(

[@brittanyhammock5567]

Maisa A. cc i x u :-! dix hi d uh x cub x b xkd no fh k huffy u chi v hiu g range

[@Animaxx010]

Where has the time gone? Just turned 30 but this was my jam hanging with friends in highschool when it came out. Hope they’re all doing good.

[@ellohihi]

The Band as you know it broke up in 2011 but Dan (lead singer) is continuing on with Augustana music! Just saw him outside of Boston this past year live. The full show is up on YT if you look up Augustana live show. He also just came out with a new album check it out!

[@beccalynn5593]

I used to listen to this song while in middle school ... Here I am vibing with this many years later

[@eliadavis3881]

same

[@venusdimples556]

It's Valentine's day 2021. Who else is aching to go to "Boston" with me now?

[@LisaAnn164]

I am planning to move back to Boston later this year!👍😊❤

[@eaterofthings]

My very first crush sang this song years ago at summer camp during a talent show. I pretended not to like it, but it secretly meant a lot to me. It recently popped up again in my memory so now I'm here reading all the comments. I don't have nearly as much history with this song as some of the people here do, but it always makes me wistful cause it reminds me of something I could never have. My crush didn't like me back, but despite that, I liked her for about 8 years. I haven't talked to her in a long time, but I hope she's doing well. I learned a lot from that time of my life. This song reminds me that you don't always get what you want, and it's really for the best sometimes. Anyway, happy July, everyone! Much love from Texas.

[@Casedilla73]

Well this wholesome and also sad at the same time.

[@doubleeadg3d]

Thanks for sharing your heart. I hope you find someone who sees and values you. Don't be afraid to let your next crush know how you feel. You got this!

[@AshandLizzy8]

Always loved this song and could relate. Now I’m in Boston 💕

[@jaylasmith7317]

Watched them open last night for 1D...They sound sooooo much better live! I think Im in love with the lead singer

[@LizCurran]

Oh good :)

[@issiechadwick4760]

+Jayla Smith im going to be watching them before one direction too soon and im glad you enjoyed it !

[@karenlm9062]

+Jayla Smith Oh, I'm so jealous (in a happy way). I would love to see them live concert. I agree. Never one to toss love around or be a crazy groupie, but for them I could make an exception. :) >3

[@kmbmmangel]

I’m in Alabama. 30 years old and the sole income for my mother and sister since my father died 6 years ago. This song always struck a chord with me but more so now because there are days when I want to just pack up and leave to pursue my dream of acting in LA, but my conscience and heart would never let me watch them struggle. I will make it out there one day. So until then it’s baby steps here and slowly work towards getting to LA.

[@christianbeasley665]

You don't need to be in LA to be an actor! Acting is still something that can be done even if you live in rural areas. You don't need to move to pursue your deams!

[@steffletcher]

i suppose there are times that we all want to run away from the present moment of life. i have contemplated moving to boston from california twice. of course from a broken heart, from disappointment or something -- maybe that sunrise would be inspiring. maybe no one knowing me would be interesting. not really sure. but i'm very sure that we all walk our individual story alone...... thanks Augustana.... very cool song that helps the heart.

[@paigemaquiling8098]

Exactly! I couldn't agree more

[@bobbyviensjr8991]

Let’s make poetry popular again this world is so distorted that people actually think they OWN words! Ain’t never been no slaves in my Boston except me

[@dareshnichetty1880]

Boston is beautiful

[@crysmesh101]

This is still one of the best songs ever written. Whenever I listen to it, the feels...just ugh, gets me everytime.

[@shanspradlin682]

This song is still incredible after all these years . I saw them perform live in a small theater years ago ... they were absolutely unbelievable.

[@Naomi-ic7ws]

The drum, the beat, the rhythm are feeling like real waves. Starting from the rise of the tide, the water going higher, then the huge waves pushing against you, at last back to peace. Excellent!! Music could tell more than words.

[@caponekingpinking9917]

I don't care what year or how old A classic will always be a classic and beloved

[@animalfinatic9366]

Crazy how you could like a song and end up having it as a story to your life.

[@neilmurphy845]

Ya it's crazy

[@kevjo13]

Is it still the story of ur life today?
