The Verve Pipe - The Freshman

The Verve Pipe - The Freshman - (original band)
this is a music video created by me and my friend for our Media course.
We used face paints, Mac's, Einstein wigs, suits, water, shark bone, anything we could get our hands on for a under budget music video.
We do not in any way hold any originality for the song. There is the bands official music video, and then we made a spin off.

I was going through 90's hits with my 12 y\o this song hits way different than it did in 10th grade. Back then I had no idea how dark it was. It's heartbreaking thinking of the mistakes you make in your youth. I added it to my playlists but I don't usually keep sad songs on there for long.

[@janmock1596]

They aren't mistakes. They're life lessons. We don't grow through mistakes but through lessons. Blessings

[@anthonydalziel5966]

Never get tired of this song..Miss the 80s & 90s,,alot of people on here feel the same way.Life was better without devices and Social Media.Your Social Media was actually hanging out with your friends.Its actually quite sad,,wish my kids grew up before all this stuff took over..These older songs take you back,, that's the great thing about music.Its so Thereputic..!!!

[@daintym0sh]

I know I am 10 years late on this but this is PURE GOLD…Still resonates in 2022…the song and your video

[@justinstilson8028]

This song has a special meaning for me,it hits Too Close to home. My girl took a Months worth of Valium one day,and another half bottle after that,she was Very Much as the girl described in the song,she Was a punk who Rarely ever took advice,had to call the ambulance on her,she was in psych-ward for 3 months. In that single event she sealed her own fate And mine as well,she didn't die but was never the same again,the girl I fell in love with had changed overnight,and all because she was caught shoplifting and freaked out while sitting at the police station,How she ever took well over 120 pills I'll never know... It haunts me still,and we have a son together,she and I both suffered from depression but she finally went too far. In the song he's referring to a girl him and a friend were both kind of dating back and forth,and that she ended up pregnant but had an abortion,i lived the Real-Life part of the song man,those were Very difficult and dark days that would follow. That was over 13 yrs ago now,but still haunts me when i hear this song,Good Job on the video art btw,not bad at all man!! Keep em rolling!

[@trevorgrondin6289]

Anyone else remember buying the album and being disappointed with the Freshman rendition? Had to buy it again with the "radio version". They sure knew how to suck $15 from a teenage kid back then. Saw them in concert and they abandoned ship from the stage after one of the band members got smoked by an errant water bottle thrown from the crowd. He was probably pissed about getting scammed $15 too.

When I was young I knew everything And she a punk who rarely ever took advice Now I'm guilt stricken, Sobbing with my head on the floor Stop a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice, no I can't be held responsible 'Cause she was touching her face I won't be held responsible She fell in love in the first place For the life of me I cannot remember What made us think that we were wise and We'd never compromise For the life of me I cannot believe We'd ever die for these sins We were merely freshmen My best friend took a week's Vacation to forget her His girl took a week's worth a Valium and slept Now he's guilt stricken sobbing with his Head on the floor Think somebody now and how he never really Wept he says I can't be held responsible 'Cause she was touching her face I won't be held responsible She fell in love in the first place For the life of me I cannot remember What made us think that we were wise and We'd never compromise For the life of me I cannot believe We'd ever die for these sins We were merely freshmen We've tried to wash our hands of all of this We never talk of our lacking relationships And how we're guilt stricken sobbing with our Heads on the floor We fell through the ice when we tried not to Slip, we'd say I can't be held responsible 'Cause she was touching her face And I won't be held responsible She fell in love in the first place For the life of me I cannot remember What made us think that we were wise and We'd never compromise For the life of me I cannot believe We'd ever die for these sins We were merely freshmen For the life of me I cannot remember What made us think that we were wise and We'd never compromise For the life of me I cannot believe We'd ever die for these sins We were merely freshmen We were merely freshmen We were only freshmen

[@carolmcneil5446]

This song reminds me of a boyfriend who dumped me after 2 years.. Long time ago but I felt so bad I wanted to die. When I listen to this it reminds me of how selfish that x was like this guy.. A. Broken heart never goes away . It makes me nauseous when I listen but I keep coming back to listen again and feel for that girl who fell in love and got hurt so bad she took her own life and he goes on like hey not my fault she fell in love . He didn’t love her he just used her . I wonder if this was written from experience .

[@CurlyFromTheSwirly]

I'm not exactly sure what you are saying. That you liked someone who was kind of jerk. Happens. Some people just don't care. But I would think that most things are written from some experience.

[@CurlyFromTheSwirly]

I'm also reminded of this. *Not Beautiful* by unknown author She was not beautiful. She was plain and average. She did not stand out in a crowd. She met herself a young rebel boy and fell in love. But she was not beautiful. He was handsome and kind, all the things she wanted, but he did not notice her, not like that. She was not beautiful. He met a woman and fell in love, but he did not know how to win her heart. So she helped him. She told him when to speak, when to kiss her, when to hold her. It wasn't perfect, but it made her happy that he was happy. She was not beautiful. Then one day tragedy befell her precious guy friend. The news came that his love had left him for someone else. She held him, and consoled him. She would be there for him, and help him get through it. Oh how she wanted him...but she was not beautiful. In time and with his friend, he got through his heartache. Then one day he realized how special she was, and how beautiful as well. He began to see her as an object of perfection. He thought for a while what to do. How would it affect their friendship. Finally he decided to go to her, and tell her how he feels, that he loved her. So he went to her, but there was no answer. He realized he had missed his chance. He had overlooked her and now she was gone. One day he learnt why she disappeared. She was ill and passed away. He cried for days, not knowing what to do - knowing he would never see her beautiful face again.

[@dylanfitch2997]

Well I think the songs about a dude who doesn't want to get married and has his gf get an abortion. "Stop a baby's breath, and a shoe full of rice? No." . Rice is traditionally thrown at weddings. And so she ODs because of the guilt and dies. "girl took a weeks worth of valium and slept"
