I’ve heard this song a million times growing up never payed attention to the lyrics. Man I just left my first apartment I lived in for 7 years straight so many memories. I was so excited to move (better place, better neighborhood & neighbors ) but I cried like a baby when I had to shut that door. I just drove by it yesterday I want to tell them get the hell out of my place 😂 good reminder of life. Everything is temporary appreciate it while you got it and who you got it with

After my first roommate passed in 2019, I visited The Old Apartment, 1-108. We lived there from 2010-2012, after I moved out of my mother's house. I didn't go inside, just checked out the outside, poured him a shot of rum and a Dew chaser, and lit up a smoke, hung out outside just outside the balcony we used to chill on all the time, then left. RIP Jeremy, those couple years were amazing and I got to explore A LOT about myself that I wouldn't have been able to if I stayed at home.

[@Enter-a-name55]

When I got divorced I rented an apartment right in downtown. Big 2 bedroom. 1400 sq feet. Beer store directly across the street, as well as a KFC and a Dairy Queen. Pizza place right next door, and a grocery store a 2 minute walk. It was the absolute perfect place for me. I lived there for 6 years. I've bought a house since then. But honestly, my old apartment was the absolute best in the world.

[@treysimmons7707]

In the late 90s, I had an apartment that was (hard to explain) in a row of ten duplexe aparments that sat on the edge of a mall parking lot. I worked as a manager at a full service restaurant (bar and all, table service) located in the mall. 100 feet outside my front door, was a 24 hour gas station. Out the back door was a shopping center with a Kroger, Dollar Tree and anything else I would have ever needed. I loved that place. I lived there from fall 97 till spring of 2001. I miss that place/period in time every day of my life.

I've always loved this song, from the first time I heard it, in my 20's. Here I am, today, just turned 48 a couple days ago, and I'm in the process of moving in to a new place together with my bf, who I've known since the age of 10. It's kinda bittersweet, since I've been staying with him pretty much the past yr at his old apartment. This song came to mind and I had to hear it. It's taken me back in time to the place I was then and creating more memories for me today. Timeless! Good stuff!

Hey, I never knew they made a music video for this song!

[@raulcastellanosjr.4754]

I heard this song as a seven-year-old kid. We had a 90s Macintosh, and one of the operating system discs it came with had this song on there as a multimedia demo. It made no sense to me at the time. At all. "We bought an old house on the Danforth / she loves me and her body keeps me warm / I'm happy there." What's the big deal then, I thought to myself? He still has the girl. He's doing well. And now he has a house and everything. Why is he worried about his old apartment? Fast forward to my late twenties. I've lived in a few apartments now, and each has been an upgrade - in some way or another - from the previous. But a few weeks ago, I started reminiscing about my last place. I went through some rough times while I lived there, but I also grew a lot. I went through an era of my life that I now recognize is classic. It's where I lived when I first met my girlfriend; the apartment we would stumble back to after drinks when we had just started going out and barely knew each other. I'm happier and better now than I was back when I lived there, but somehow, I miss the hell out of that apartment. I intentionally drove two towns over so I could drive past it the other day. I don't want to take my life back to that point in time or anything, but I just really get nostalgic for it sometimes and wouldn't mind reliving that era for a night or two. It took twenty years, but I know what this song is about now. It's about missing an old era, even if you are perfectly happy with your current life. The apartment I live in now as I sit here and type this is tiny, but it's the first apartment I've ever had all to myself without roommates. It's the first place I've ever decorated exactly how I wanted. It has been the setting to my first experiences as an independent adult with a real job, living in the city. It's where I finally found the inner peace and comfort with myself that I have yearned for my entire life. And it's where I have continued to fall in love with my girlfriend. I don't know how long I'm going to be here, but I know that when it becomes time to move on, I am going to miss the hell out of this place. If you're still reading this essay of a comment, what I'm trying to say is: this is a timeless song that any city dweller can relate to. It's one of those songs that makes more and more sense as you grow older. It's a song that evokes deep feelings that take years - maybe even decades - to cultivate. Thank you for the music, BNL.

[@Jason22Douce]

I’m living in my old apartment. I know that I’m going to miss this place. Six years have flown by. I shed a little tear as I look back.

[@falconJB]

My first apartment was miserable, I hated the neighbors, I was dead broke even though I worked like a dog, the windows would freeze over every winter because I couldn't afford to pay for heating and there was no AC and only one small window in the 'bedroom' could be opened so we would boil every summer, the landlord would come in an steal from me when I was at work, I found out the walls were lath and plaster when I messed up my hand punching one and knocking a big hole in the plaster, I never patched that hole, the only thing good about those times was my girlfriend and even our relationship was rough, I eventually made enough money to get out of there, my next place was only a little better but at least no one stole from me while I worked, eventually I married my girlfriend, went to college, got a better job, and bought an old house where I live now. My life is so much better than it was when I was in my old apartment, but I'll never give up my memories no matter how bad thing use to be or how good they are now, those miserable times made me who I am now. Next time I'm in the area I should drive by that old place and see what it looks like.

[@nataliehebert4479]

IMO, Absolutely one of the most under appreciated bands of all time. Their entire discography is great and they have recorded some of the signature songs of my life. Brian Wilson, The Old Apartment, If I had a million dollars..... it doesn't get any better. Too bad about the lead leaving though. If you don't know BNL, you really do - if you watch The Big Bang Theory.

Mike Hipp Steve and BNL are both making songs seperately- twice the awesome music!

Mike Hipp I hope I'm not alone in thinking the new stuff holds up! Quite enjoyable, really. Grinning Streak might have been my favourite album of 2013

[@silvertamagachi]

+circlemoyer I think it mostly holds up, but it lost a lot of its edge . . . got a bit blander and less clever. Still better than most other things out there, though, and absolutely great as long as you don't compare them to the best of their old stuff. :)

[@silvertamagachi]

***** Totally agree! Though I'd say they're a bit more pop-alternative, but close enough. Definitely one of the most eclectic bands out there. (Also, while I still think Grinning Streak is great and All in Good Time is pretty good, their newest album sucks a bag of sweaty dicks. Silverball? The title song's okay, but most of them are unmemorable and kinda hokey.)

The baby is now 37 and struggling with addiction. I haven’t been happy to hear from him for years other than knowing he’s alive. The unstable father died in 2009 after years of incarceration.

This always makes me nostalgic for my first apartment. I was 17 and dumb as hell, out on my own against the world for the first time with only my high school best friend by my side. Memories of late nights getting high, watching whatever looked good on Netflix, coming home late from work, first romances, heartbreaks, my first winter as an adult in the city, my 18th birthday, the place filled with all sorts of reptiles and fish, the kitchen that we hardly used cause it was too damn small.... so many memories. I've moved several times since that apartment and no where has felt like home. I feel as though someday I will return to it, and I'd be more than happy to return to it someday.

It's their only song i like 💖

[@schuug]

Ive been on a huge BNL kick these last few weeks.. growing up in the 90's/00's in Canada, you couldn't escape these songs and now I just want to listen to them all the time

[@user-zx1ir7jt4c]

This is by far my favorite BNL song. I love it! Especially the vocal harmony at the end... good stuff. Gotta love the 90s baby!

I'm 42 and desperately miss these days. They actually came to my school to perform. Anyone else?

The nostalgia of the "old apartment". Any city dweller has it. My first Boston rat trap apartment was the worst place I ever lived...yet somehow I love it. Maybe it reminds me of new found independence. But really it lead to so many funny stories. Wouldn't trade it for 1,000,000 dollars.

Killer live band. This is my fav song of theirs. IT HIT HOME !

[@sivazh]

Such an upbeat song about a painful topic. Reminds me of parts of my marriage that went both ways. We are both bettter and happier people now...but I still look back on those times fondly.

Hello how are you doing

[@Fern-kr2xk]

Yeah my husband and I used to live in a good home it broke apart and I want it back it's been years

[@docadams1]

I did this once, ten years after I lived there. The place was going to be torn down and had a fence around it. The orange carpet was still there and the dark paneling. I stood on the balcony over the creek, dressed in a black suit with sunglasses and thought of the time I made enchiladas for everyone. That was over 30 years ago. A new building is there now.

[@jonnywishbone17]

Great story

[@suzannewalton9538]

Yes....music was brought too our souls not like our hearts ever stopped beating with the beautiful beats that strummed into our crazy minds....don't ever stop listening to the greatest hits of our life...I love you

I don't drink much,so when an old friend came back i went to have a few drinks with him and closing time happened, i caught a cab home (drunk) wondering why my key wasn't working, next thing I knew a stranger opened the door 😂😂, big suprise my old apartment, "this is where I used to live"😂😂😂

[@AmpyTramps]

Both Bruce's original and this cover are tremendous in there own right individually although the same song. When listening to the history of our music im forever impressed by the poetic justice our talents express...Lightfoot, The Hip, Rush, City in Color, Marianas Trench all master composers as well to name just a handful

LYRICS TO "THE OLD APARTMENT". Broke into the old apartment This is where we used to live Broken glass, broke and hungry Broken hearts and broken bones This is where we used to live Why did you paint the walls? Why did you clean the floor? Why did you plaster over The hole I punched in the door? This is where we used to live Why did you keep the mousetrap? Why didn't you keep the dish rack? These things used to be mine I guess they still are, I want them back Broke into the old apartment Forty-two stairs from the street Crooked landing, crooked landlord Narrow lane way filled with crooks This is where we used to live Why did they pave the lawn? Why did they change the lock? Why did I have to break it I only came here to talk This is where we used to live How is the neighbor downstairs? How is her temper this year? I turned up your TV And stomped on the floor just for fun I know we don't live here anymore We bought an old house on the Danforth She loves me and her body keeps me warm, I'm happy here But this is where we used to live Broke into the old apartment Tore the phone out of the wall Only memories, fading memories Blending into dull tableaux I want them back I want them back (This is where we used to live) I want them back (This is where we used to live) I want them back (This is where we used to live) I want them back

[@s0meGuyMarlyMar]

First time hearing this song / watching this music video was when my dad subscribed to Mac Addict Magazines that had a Cd-Rom included, and hands em to me. I was in High School.. this was around the 90s and had a Mac Performa. They have shareware and freeware, all that, and a digital version of the magazine to read I think. I just seen this video stood out and played it.. and I loved it and I hear it on and off from time to time.

[@whoisj]

2022 and I still love this song.

That IS where we used to live , in '92 across from bellwoods trinity park , I even saw steven Page at the local grocery store!

This song takes on a whole new/ different meaning when you become an adult

I’ve been watching this performance for over a decade now. It’s so powerful. Michael is so engaging. Noelle is fun to watch. Both are incredible vocalists.
