[@ARTV-]

Oh man, I remember watching this music video on Fuse on Sunday Mornings on "Victory TV", good fucking times. I feel so old, that was 13 years ago...and I was 13 when watching

[@kylehegedus5498]

ARTV Hey, Neighbor!!!! I just saw them for the second time!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

[@jakeuhhb]

I was 8 haha was some good times

[@adrian_strikes_back661]

I had the mosh pit CD for victory records.

[@EvilZombieToe]

Remember how quickly Victory went from the alternative music lovers refuge to just another reality TV crap house?

[@secondsensory]

It's scary isn't it man..

[@hansolzy]

So underrated. I used to listen to this song on the school bus all the time when I was in middle school. Haha.

[@bastianinostroza1150]

still underrated

[@CDeeez94]

Same mate. I remember when I found out I could put it on my iPod and listen to it any time I wanted.

[@JoeLaFon3]

That's awesome. My gf got me into these genres after we both hit our 20s and we've both been diving into all her old influences again

[@JoeLaFon3]

Damn Hansol how many subscribers you think you had when you wrote this comment 7 years ago?

[@EsotericVision13]

Dude same! Also had Sinai Beach on it too. Hard to believe it was like 10 years ago. I was 14 at the time. Time is flying by.

[@spec3280]

Holy shit man, listened to em all heavy in the early-mid 2000s. Atreyu, Hawthorne Heights, Funeral for a friend, Underoath, The Used, Brand New, Armor for sleep, Scary Kids Scaring Kids and so many others. But somehow I just found this band in 2020! Like a gem buried in the ground. They remind me of Alkaline Trio a lot.

[@dru187]

Ty for this list! I forgot all about most of these.

[@henrycervantezzz5566]

Dude check out Midtown. If you love these guys you'll love midtown for sure.

[@TheBreakdownWithGregHoyt]

Man, was a Victory records addict in the mid-2000s, loved the DVDs they'd put in with CDs that would have these videos.

[@cashlayton1313]

They opened for Alk3 on a few tours

[@nicholashall7595]

I love the excitement in this comment. Headed to see them in Denver this weekend for the first time in 17 years. Bayside got me through high school.

[@salvadorsandoval4896]

This is "True Emo". Not the emo ruined by greedy corporations trying to milk off every dollar from you by over saturating it with generic chord progressions and non original lyrical themes. Bayside knows how to play emo the right way. I feel that they play more of a tougher emo with more originality in their lyrics.

[@elisamurderess]

the other day this girl told my friend she was too old for this kind of music... w t f. please, we are almost 28. i love this just as much as when i was 18!! so much feels.

[@nickrandles1102]

Ill be 33 this April. I've found it's only gotten more important for me

[@ryanpendleton7410]

29 here. Old feels all around.

[@drthunder138]

You still here?

[@danichesney1876]

Yes!

[@makaiokalahama]

32 in a few days. Still remember hearing it for the first time as a teen. Back when Atreyu became my favorite band for the longest time.

[@Bananapocalypse]

Victory records introduced me to Bayside,Atreyu,Aiden,Hawthorne Heights,Darkest Hour, Silverstein, The Autumn Offering, all in one dvd.

[@kx5007]

Every once in a while you accidentally find a band You never heard of who blows your mind.

[@echobasecustoms8927]

Same! BOOM instantly hooked

[@lauramorrison5567]

I got my friend hooked on this bad in middle school. These songs have helped me through a lot of shit. When she was having a hard time I passed them on to her. She was instantly hooked

[@graceshiflett6526]

spotify actually found new music for me that I liked for once

[@johanalbertovillagiraldo9915]

Yes, here we go again. Try FAR band ;)

[@DaleFlint]

Dude, these guys got me through some rough days back in 2010-11 and no shit I would listen to bayside on repeat 🔁 for over a year at one point and I could do that again in 2024

[@BlackdamaskBLK]

Timeless classics write themselves

[@aqeiwwrgunaug4ne3]

listening to this fucking song for 9 years and i still love it just as much, absolute masterpiece

[@thebrewster]

I found this band on a promotional dvd that had a few others, including atreyu... Amazing the gems you can find.

[@thebrewster]

It was a Victory Records promo DVD idk how to find it.

[@stephenguthrie3889]

i got the dvd with a special edition hawthorne heights cd years and years ago from best buy. i still have it somewhere and its still watched on friday nights lol

Remember hearing this song on NCAA Baseball '06. Great game, great indie-punk soundtrack, great memories.

[@talladeganights24]

good times taking Air Force the CWS

[@northpole8318]

I literally just looked for this song by typing in the baseball soundtrack ahahahah

[@zacharypool]

Best game soundtrack ever in my opinion

[@joshhoward8848]

I played that game as a kid and this song stuck with me for years. I looked up the lyrics to it recently to listen to it again and figure which band made it. It's even cooler than I remember and now I'm looking forward to listening to more music from Bayside.

[@CryWolfFilms]

in terms of music in this era, this holds up surprisingly well.

[@joshuaenglish2177]

Jesus, on the same nostalgia trip two years later and KZbin makes my comment the second one. It's not a fucking phase KZbin.

[@xFersureMatt]

I feel the lyrics of the song so deeply after a heartbreak from a girl who used to tell me she loved me.

[@butter4913]

Growing up listening to rap never heard a lot of these kinds of songs but im loving it gives me a feeling I’ve never felt

[@jamesdraco09]

Trying to create something that's not there A spark I saw as a bomb is just a means to an end And I was just so happy to be out of my shell again Don't think that I really cared for who or what So for now I'll just have to keep it shut [Pre-Chorus] If you're not ready, you're not ready Please stop acting like you are [Chorus] How could I know That everything you say are lies About devotion and desire? And I know the spark Inside your eyes was just the match I used to set myself on fire [Verse 2] My mouth's shooting blanks Situation's unbearable I've gotten vulnerable Now anyone is free to waltz right in My temple's been invaded And there's nobody guarding it All over this lonely life But what's so wrong with being all alone? Alone's the only way I've ever known [Pre-Chorus] If you're not ready, you're not ready Please stop acting like you are [Chorus] How could I know That everything you say are lies About devotion and desire? And I know the spark Inside your eyes was just the match I used to set myself on fire [Bridge] And I'm pleading 'Cause this kills and It's still bleeding My darling I'm taking My life back To start healing [Chorus] How could I know That everything you say are lies About devotion and desire? And I know the spark Inside your eyes was just the match I used to set myself on fire

I first heard this song in 2006 and it still hits just as hard today as it did back then!

[@gregoryfosdal7935]

I was playing Senses Fail on Google Home, and this song came on. 2 months later, hooked on Bayside.

[@solekman916]

Bayside, Story of the Year, and Yellowcard. The holy trinity

[@whataday13]

amen

[@brianarosemarie216]

A lot if this music brings me back to the most painful parts of life. If it wasn't for music like this to bring me up from really dark places i dont know where i would be.

[@fattunicorns]

god this song is so amazing. the best way to listen is in the car on the way to and from school, blasting and singing it at the top of my lungs with the windows down. i always liked bayside but when i really started to listen to them they became so much more to me.

[@danschmall1466]

Over a decade of listening to them almost weekly and they still give me the fucking chills.

[@neverorganized]

best band I found

[@nikkianger12]

This was the first song I listened from them back when I was in high school... good memories

picked up a bayside cd in hot topic like 2009 and used the listening station to check them out. No regrets :D

Bayside making the dark side of love ever-so tempting.

[@Nate4603]

one of Baysides Best...

[@denco12161986]

This album came out the summer I graduated high school and I loved it to death. I'm pretty sure I burned a hole in that cd listening to this song and Montauk relentlessly day after day. The whole album made such an impression on me that I COULDN'T AVOID LISTENING TO IT CONSTANTLY. 2yrs later they put out Walking Wounded and forget it, I destroyed 3 of those cd's from over-listening. THen I grew up a bit and stopped listening to Bayside obsessively. But the other day, I threw this album and Walking Wounded on for old times-sake. I quickly realized how these songs hit me the same way as back then but they've taken on a whole new meaning because now I'm 28, not 18. Regardless, the songs are just as relevant. What makes this album so great (#1) is the honestly genuine lyrics. I think Anthony Raneri approaches his craft in a way that he will be deep inside my head whether I'm 18, 28, 38, 48 etc. What else makes this album great (#2) is the guitar freakouts that come at a relentless pace. This album and Walking Wounded have songs that have 2 or 3 guitar solos apiece. And mind you, those albums came out at a time when guitar solos weren't particularly cool. I'm pretty sure that their guitar styles were another reason I latched on to those albums so hard. If you were a scene kiddo circa 2005-2007, you know what I'm saying. Bayside was the coolest band of that time. They broke trends in a way that made them so much cooler than other bands of that time/genre.. If you weren't a scene kiddo in the golden age, you probably think my post sounds stupid and overly long and you are fully entitled to your opinion, so go enjoy yourself!!!!

[@morganmarie2165]

wowie... I was trying to think of just what to say about this but you said all my thoughts and more.

A lot of Bayside songs has guitar solos. They remind me of Sum 41 meets Alkaline Trio
