LYRICS:
i used to be dreaming when i was driving
i used to be leaving when i was arriving
i used to be calling when i was walking
i used to be thinking when i was talking
i used to be counting when i was sharing
i used to be blanking when i was staring
i used to be rolling when i was parking
i used to be raining when i was sparking
today, i do what's in front of me now
today, i do what's in front of me now
i used to be stopping while i was trying
i used to be landing before i was flying
i used to be haunting not just remembering
in the middle of summer, i was decembering
always re-writing what i was reading
but also doubting what i was conceiving
i used to be dropping when i was collecting
i could have been building, but i was dissecting
today, i do what's in front of me now
today, i do what's in front of me, what's in front of me
i do what's in front of me now
i used to be missing when i was kissing
why wasn't i present? i could have been living
i used to be dodging when i was catching
i used to be dying, i could have been hatching
i used to be drowning when i was drinking
i was only masking, i could have been feeling
you used to surround me whenever you found me
i could have learned more from the friends i had ‘round me
i used to be falling when i was leaning
catastrophe courting, i could have been dreaming
i was careening, looking for meaning
wish i was relaxing, i could have been breathing
today, i do what's in front of me now
today, i do what's in front of me, what's in front of me
oh there's too many lanes
there's too much to see in the frame at once
there's too much to contain
oh there's too much terrain
i can never explain it all
it's too much for my brain
today, i do what's in front of me, what's in front of me
i do what's in front of me now

[@AJLangford]

They get older but they continue to put out great tracks. They've been consistently solid for 25 years.

[@omarr0824]

Nada Surf never disappoints. I’m looking forward to their new album and tour dates!

[@TheOtherJC77]

I know it’s almost a trope to say it, but Nada Surf doesn’t get enough credit for just how great their song writing is.

[@harryyarrow4110]

One of the most under-rated bands of the last three decades. Another great song,from Nada Surf.💙💛💙

[@TheCarymiller]

Still my favorite band. My partner passed away in 2021...our mutual favorite record of all-time is Let Go. It's taken me a long time to heal and live for her in her stead...but this made me cry. So good. Shannon would have loved this.

[@mcaws]

i'm so sorry for your loss cary. thanks for bringing us along. i'm so glad shannon would have liked this. lots of love from here

[@TheCarymiller]

@@mcaws you're the best Matthew, I really appreciate it! Also give my best to Ira and Dan!

[@C5Cse7en]

sorry for your loss

[@TheCarymiller]

@@C5Cse7en I appreciate that. Thanks.

[@DanCaporello]

I define seasons of my life by Nada Surf records

[@shinypb]

“In the middle of summer, I was Decemberin’” 😭

[@slowhed]

There are songwriters and storytellers who stand the test of time and continuously surprise us with their craft. M and I speak often on how Nada has been there through multiple points in time, defining a moment, connecting our shared threads, and anchoring our hearts to memories and people we were or currently are. Amazing to have friends like this show up again and again with such gifts. Thank you❤️

[@hellomyfriend67]

Hearing this for the first time around 8:00 a.m. and my day has already been made!!!! Can't stop playing this!!

[@asbrinkman]

The high-heel on the kick drum makes this video rock 😂

[@mikewquan]

Can always count on Nada Surf to deliver well-written songs.

[@welikedthemfirst7804]

The soundtrack of my life. Thank you Nada Surf.

[@donttouchmynarwhal828]

Nada Surf has been with me all along this ever winding road from adolescence to fatherhood. Through joys and heart breaks. This band still somehow finds a way to make me feel like that young man just trying to find his way and really I still am still trying to find my way. This song reminds me to slow down and enjoy these fleeting blessings all around me sometimes the journey is the destination.

[@guiradete]

I love the chords, the lyrics, the video, the permanent 2003-05 sound Nada Surf has never gotten rid of... What an important message to share with everyone. MINDFULNESS. It reminds me of the wonderful, never-played-live, never remembered, always-hidden 'End Credits'.

[@talkshow]

I love this “used to be/could have been” device that leads to the wonderful chorus. I love the urgent vocal and the roar of The Rock. This is awesome. Thank you for another killer.

[@mitchpollock4732]

A band that never ceases to deliver daily affirmations. Thanks for this gem, boys.

[@nadasurfelectric5029]

Nada surf est imbattable quand il sonne comme ça... superbe chanson pleine d énergie positive... aujourd'hui le meilleur groupe du monde qui mériterait de remplir le stade.. de France 😊

[@JohanZero]

"I used to be missing, when I was kissing Why wasn't I present, I could have been living" Best line in the song for me Love you guys, can't wait for the album 💗

[@shshah]

What a gift. Another barnstorming power pop treat. Can't wait to hear the other 10.

[@slimdusty6328]

One of my favorite bands 💖. Such philosophical meaningful songs coupled with choice sounds

[@matthewneal800]

i imagine a lot of people my age first heard of nada surf because of 'popular' being on mtv. and i loved the rest of the album so much i followed them and still follow them. they have been consistently putting out great records the entire time. incredible band.

[@noahhomsleyart2143]

So good! This band just gets better with age.... Like a fine red wine. This will be put on my Summer 2024 playlist.... Let's hope for a tour and a stop in Portland, OR.

[@oogrooq]

Saw them at the Doug Fir several years ago. See you at their next Portland stop.

This new song is great...classic NS sound with witty, insightful lyrics that bring positivity. The video is a lot of fun to watch. Thanks guys!

[@Martin-op3uo]

Heard this on “90.5 FM The Night” in Lincroft NJ

[@dylanlee32]

You don't know much I needed new Nada Surf in my life right now with everything I'm going through - thank you!

[@billmcvail6164]

As a wannabe-songwriter, the best compliment I ever got was when my producer said a song I wrote reminded him of Nada Surf. And as someone approaching the September of my life, these lyrics hit me deep in the feels...and remind me that there is still time left to have the life I want. See you in Philly!

[@frauzettikowski3588]

Can't wait for the new album and hope to see you soon again in Germany 🎉

[@annikadson]

Go song! You are good as always 🥰💝💖 Hugs from Gothenburg in Sweden

[@MikeysMorgue]

This made my day! Completely surprised this morning by this amazing tune. Right place right time!

[@HELPINGTHEBLINDSEE]

Man this is a great track

[@marshalllancaster2314]

Clean power pop sound of this band is dynamite.

[@collinmanzo4568]

It’s interesting and I mean this in the most positive sincerest way possible… In someway, the song reminds me of Joni Mitchell’s looking at life from both sides now don’t ask me why, but that song from her came to mind as I was listening to this and I mean that as a compliment by the way.

[@Lukei182]

Wonderful song. Booked my ticket for the Manchester show in November, it’ll be my first time seeing this band and I can’t wait

[@ramindadmanesh3863]

You're in for a huge treat! They translate wonderfully live!

[@tmdavenport9073]

I'd like to wax lyrical about the insanely clever and genuinely inspiring lyrics or the brilliance of the whole band, but all I can come up with is .... what an absolutely belting song. Lifted me out of my chair. And what a message. Blown away.
