[@angelboltron3048]

I am grateful to have brothers who influenced me to these kind of best songs when I was a kid. 😩

[@theax40]

I'm mostly a death metal type guy who was in his early 20s when this kinda of emo was popular, and I liked a good amount of it. Taking Back Sunday, Brand New, Fall Out Boy, ect. I always appreciated songs that were catchy. Let me tell you something: this is one of the greatest songs I've ever heard. The dynamics, the arrangement. It's fucken unreal. The chorus is so epic, it's punishing with the double kicks. The whole instrumental is heavy as fuck. It's just the perfect song. 1000000000/10 absolutely phenomenal.

[@TCSwizz2]

😂

[@eyelesscrown7346]

I totally agree with you man! Not only this song, but there are lots of other matchbook romance songs I could say the same thing about. I wish they would come back

Matchbook Romance still holds a special place in my heart, i will NEVER stop listening to this. ❤

Funny cos I think this song holds that place and will never let go for most who've ever had the pleasure to listen to it in their youth.

[@saffs_mhd]

same here. ❤✨

[@jamalnawaz21]

Heard this song for the first time when I got my first job working at Disneyland in 2003. Went to their concert with New Found Glory and I still remember it pretty clearly. Damn, those were the days! 35 years old now, and this randomly started playing in my iTunes library. What a throwback.

[@eaglehawk3536]

Hey we are the same age. I was into the post hardcore scene too, and would go to shows when I could. Those days were amazing!

[@THISFATALBR]

miss these days! back in high school i used to jam this whole album! forever a memory!

[@markhernandez7028]

This song never gets old to me. I’ve been listening to it for years.

[@Carpster]

Still a banger 🔥

[@alkalinepunk2266]

I remember getting ready to go to school and tuning Into Fuse to watch and listen all those bands like Matchbook Romance

[@defjamlives]

Waking up an watching fuse from 2003-2007 was the shit. Seeing bands like Coheed, thrice, thursday, taking back sunday, funeral for a friend, atreyu and so many others was god tier.

[@Mstryker83]

Life moves so fast... just taking a trip down memory lane... when times seemed so much more simple... where did the time go??? I remember blasting this being 19 almost 20 ready to take on the world!!! Almost 20 years later ... I long for those times which now I see as simple and yet at that time was full of angst like this song. . . Take me back!!

[@iisaninjafoo]

My three year old already loves them. Used to play it on my stomach, and to this day it's one of the few bands that she will let me blast it and we just belt it out together. :)

[@georgepeterson1505]

What would You say If I asked You not to go? To forget everyone, forget everything And start over with me Would you take my hand and never let me go Promise me you'll never let me go And now the stars aren't out tonight But neither are we to look up at them Why does Hello feel like Goodbye? And these memories can't replace These wishes I wished and dreams I've chased Take this broken heart and make it right I feel like I've lost everything when You're gone Left remembering what it's like To have you here with me I thought you should know You're not making this easy I never thought I'd be the one to say Please don't, well please don't leave me I feel like I've lost everything when You're gone Left remembering what it's like To have you here with me I thought you should know You're not making this easy You're not making this easy(easy, easy, easy) Take my hand, and never let me go Take my hand, and never let me go Promise me... You'll never let go Never let me go Never let me go You'll never let me go I feel like I've lost everything when You're gone Left remembering what it's like To have you here with me I thought you should know You're not making this easy(x5) I'll fall asleep tonight, cause That brings me closer to You

It's almost unbearable to listen to this album again because of how viscerally all the memories come flooding in...it makes me so sad that nothing will ever bring that time back and also makes me so aware that I'm not 18 anymore! How did this era just vanish? Saw these guys live in 2005 and it was the most amazing show. Tiger Lily acoustic and a room full of teary eyed kids...

[@emberwatters302]
