Movies and games were breaking so many boundaries and were still original, opening up so many people's eyes and minds to the possibilities ahead. The future didn't seem so daunting as it does now.

[@nerfret]

I mean the song has a pretty simple melody along with simple lyrics. It’s a good song, but I wouldn’t go out and say it’s something artists wish they wrote. You have to remember this was like Hoobastank’s one hit wonder. They didn’t change the face of the music industry. Look at a band like Nirvana and what they were capable of doing in less than a decade. Kurt’s songwriting had really dark and raw meanings to it. Sure the melodies were simple too, but it was so different that it completely destroyed 80s glam metal and ushered in the new genre of grunge. Coldplay is another band that was very popular during the time of Hoobastank and they too have written a lot of “magic moment” songs that have influenced a lot of bands, especially on their first 3 albums. I just feel like you really like this song a lot and are making some bold assumptions toward a band that hasn’t had a history of being iconic except for 1 song.

I can't believe I am back here again. Last time I rediscovered it here 3 years ago. I was 36 then and now I am about to turn 40yrs old in next 3months...... There's magic in this song. The tune, the notes, the singing, the lyrics, even the visuals (original TV version's video)... can't forget the first time when I saw it's video on MTV. while listening to my childhood and teenage playlist, I get so nostalgic and emotional that it scares me so I just stop playing it and divert myself in another activity or thoughts. It scares me because I feel that I will cry so intensely that I will drown and die in my own tears. The grief is about not able to turn back time and live those days again. It's also about how I can't explain in words to the current generation what it was like back in those days.

[@attaboitroy5050]

This may be lost within the realm of comments... but I’ve recently been doing doing a lot of soul searching ever since I broke up with my ex 3 years ago, and this song just played in my head out of nowhere. Now this releases??? Synchronicity seems more and more plausible each day! Introspection and self reflection is a beautiful trait, and hoobstank taught us that very thing so long ago :) love you all.
