I've always liked this band I'm a 64 year old man. I just get tired when I hear people my age saying there's no good music out there and I keep telling them there is if you look for it. You're so much of it out there music is good you're never too old to love good music. And I just like to style the song it's really laid-back.

my daughter is going to sing this solo at her 8th grade chorus concert. She overcame bullying and self-harm during middle school. I'm so proud of her, and this song to me is her letting go of that period of her life as she leaves middle school into high school. I can't wait to watch her sing live to all her peers.

[@travisbarnes9233]

Basically my version was I went into it with every intention of pulling it off but then a million to one chance of something happening would happen every time after the second or third try failed and I woke up lying on the floor with the cord still wrapped around my neck the next day my friends whom I had forgotten about and I hadn't seen in years found me I was in a rush trying to clean everything up when they got through the front door and still had the noose on good thing to cause this year my wife that I had tried killing myself over losing ended up dying of cancer and I had to take over for her so she could finally rest. I told her what happened years later and she said it happened cause you're works not done yet you can't leave until it's finished that's the only words that carry me through alot of days now I went from being a mechanic to a welder to a stay at home dad of four 3 of which have autism so things pan out in ways you could never imagine I can't knock suicide cause I know what it means to be in such misery and constant pain that you can only sit and fantasize about which way would be the most effective way but you never have any way of telling what's around that next bend

[@averageviewer6]

i started listening to this song when i was 16. ive always been told i’ve been mature for my age growing up, due to a lot of abuse i endured. the year i was 16 was one of the worst years of my life. i talked my father out of committing su!c!de, twice, which was incredibly traumatizing for me at the time. i struggled heavily with depression, to the point where i contemplated my own life at one point. i spent hours staring out my bedroom window when it rained, and have a vivid memory of just standing in the rain crying for something to pull me out of my pain. i fell behind in school after being an honours student, and missed close to over 100 days of school. this song truly did save me. i happened to be playing my spotify on a random shuffle which is what led to me finding this song. i think this song had such an emotional toll on me because the lyrics resonated with me so well. here i am, now 17, coming back to this song as my dad is in the hospital, nearing his death bed. i feel this song will stick with me for the rest of my life. thank you cte ❤

[@somerandom7672]

@@phoenixgirl70 Each year becomes a smaller percentage of your life. 20% of your life at 5 is only 2% of your life at 50. So your perception is that it went faster when you look back. That's because your reference or basis for what time seems to be, is the sum of your experienced time. I don't think it seems to pass more quickly in the moment. Only retrospectively. The upside to this is that if there's something I'm not looking forward to, I'll look in the mirror and remind myself that I'll be back home before I know it. Sure enough, I'm soon looking at myself again. As if the memories of the day were planted there and I had never moved.

This song describes and gives the feeling of being 17 so accurately. Something about being 17 is so scary to me. You have only one year left of being a “child” yet you still have so much to learn. Soon you will be graduating high school and will never be a little kid again. Your life flashes before your eyes and the sudden rush of anxiety and despair you feel once you hit this age is unexplainably heartbreaking. You can’t go back to your childhood and do things differently after clearly seeing what you should’ve done differently. You don’t even know how to be an adult or what you are going to be doing with your life.. will you stay in this mess for the rest of your life.. or if not.. will you will even be able to make a name for yourself and be able to be looked upon by society as something valuable just because of your job title and your salary? You think, did I do enough? Did I waste all of my time fixating on things that doesn’t matter? Will I ever make it out of this rut that I’m in? It’s sad that we all have to think this way in this messed up world that we live in. I’ve never felt so understood by a song. This song hurts.. especially when your 17 and looking for the answers.

I remember sitting on a bench in my quiet town, cold beginnings of winter hitting me- I never liked the cold- and the clock hit 12:00AM..I cried for the first time in a long time, in the turn to my 18th birthday. This song blared in coincidence in my friend's car as she pulled up to the brick walk way where I sat. I'll never forget that moment. It started sleet-raining and she took me on a drive to cheer me up. As this song went on I sang it loud and proud like the fun idiot I could still be back then, and my friend who was easily annoyed by 'radio music' jammed and sang along with me in time for the @3:00 mark... I bought my "first" pack of cigs-- and the clerk didn't even card me, just that one time, of course. We both knew I was about to be left out in the cold from friends and family alike, I'd probably become homeless in due time thanks to my failing health, and life would only get more difficult from there. True nihilists at heart. One day we both lit cigarettes and just sat in silence, overlooking our usual spot over at the river dam. Eventually she left, too. This song always gives me bittersweet feelings. I never got to feel like a kid, be a kid, have a 'normal childhood'; but, even now I do miss those days for what they were.

Every single day i battle with the thought that maybe we just weren’t meant to be, or maybe I just love her too much to ever let her go. Maybe time will tell. Maybe i’ll die before we ever see each other again, maybe we’ll end up together and tell our kids about the hardships we faced. I’ve thought about you nonstop even in my toughest times.
