[@amandacommanda2087]

[@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?

[@secondsensory]

Same here bro. We would have been good friends.

[@artvjon]

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..

[@K_SHARP7]

damn, first time I heard this song was on one of those victory records music video CDs that came with the Hawthorne Heights Silence In Black and White cd I bought back in jr high school lol

[@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.

[@IamLucky87]

[@IamLucky87]

TheBro BroBro Dude You fucking rock!!!!

[@IamLucky87]

TheBro BroBro Thank you good sir!

[@lacey1618]

Same here!! I stil have that cd :]

[@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

[@ElyseExplosion]

RIP Beatz. 18 years gone now but never forgotten.

[@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.

[@rogerwebb1748]

Im 37 and an emo kid at heart. This shit is just real shit. Doesn't matter age. Just real life. Learn life and learn its hard regardless of how old you are.

[@Bananapocalypse]

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

[@buggi__e6644]

this song is underrated af.. his delivery in the second half of the song is killer

[@rplgrime8006]

Just realized 1.7 mil views in 12 years. WTF, should easily be 10x.

[@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.

[@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.

[@ZachAllenMusicMedia-z1x]

I think these guys are punk and also emo

[@warrenwilkinson2849]

I scream this song Everytime I hear it.... How could I know everything you said weres lies about devotion and desire

[@BlackdamaskBLK]

Timeless classics write themselves

[@firstnamelastname5950]

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. If you're not ready, you're not ready. Please stop acting like you are. 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. 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. If you're not ready, you're not ready. Please stop acting like you are. 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'm pleading cause this kills and it's still bleeding. My darling I'm taking my life back to start healing. 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

[@JenniferHernandez-yl7nc]

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.

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.

[@The__Mask]

R.I.P. John "Beatz" Holohan (Drummer in the video)

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

[@aj831]

1 million views!? Fuck yeah, I always knew Bayside would gain some traction... most underrated artist of the last 15 years, hands down.

[@derrick3570]

I think KZbin should take a vote to say this is the most UNDER RATED song of all time

[@macydiehl3455]

Cannot believe I forgot about Bayside!!! Listened to them all the time in high school! Saw them love several times!! So underrated!

[@viniciusgmachado1204]

[@choppedliver178]

Been listening to Bayside since 2005, incredible band. Met Anthony and Jack at a demo show they had at Sam Goody in San Antonio, Texas and they were so nice and humble. We even created a custom hand shake that I won't forget.

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.

[@astralpurpose1344]

[@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!!!!
