I love how lots of bands are bringing back lots of older sounds into more modern ones. Bands like Citizen with grunge, Turnover with shoegaze, Ocean Grove with grunge and nu metal, etc

I remember going through Air Force basic training and singing this song to myself while doing EC duty at 2am. Was so obsessed with it and it still holds a special place in my heart when I was alone and overwhelmed. Was the first song I played once I graduated

[@joeyfernandez1712]

In Navy boot camp, I’d write songs from my favorite bands in my notebook because we didn’t have music (slaughter beach dog, mobo, citizen, movements etc) and this was one was one of them.

[@MisfitRosieee]

That’s an awesome memory, crazy how a song just hangs on to you and the memories it brings when you hear it again. Glad you were able to hear it after graduating, especially given that it was attached to a tough time. But you made it! Good for you man! 🫶🏼 I get chills everytime I hear this song, brings me back to a time when life was soo much simpler, when I was not so messed up in the head and more naive and not so cold.

[@callumplaysguitar98]

That first line NEVER fails to give me goosebumps.

[@BellevueBrewReviewsOhio]

It's so weird seeing guys I knew before they even formed Citizen become so big in their scene. Proud of them for never giving up.

[@indismith3618]

Back in 2014, I couldn’t go to sleep unless I listened to Youth in full. A few months down the track I attempted suicide and wanted to listen to Youth one last time before I left. Somewhere in that listen, I was pulled out of it. I saw them live not long after that and met Mat and told them they helped me through a lot and they hugged me and it was one of the most special moments of my life. Citizen saved my fucking life and continue to still now.

[@marlongrimes-g2t]

[@lemondisco2136]

The intro is sooo beautiful! as soon as he says "I watched you burn" you can tell this song is gonna be a masterpiece.

[@KultiveSkate]

I watched you burn and I felt it. You're spitting words like you're someone else. And I watched you run, I was screaming and following you down. It seems I'm stuck in the promise you made, I’m counting out. I don't want to know. If I could catch you once, I’d see you right through. You said you'd stay, and you promised. I finally see you out. Why'd you wait for the summer to chew and spit me out? I sit awake and wait impatiently. The same mistakes are waiting to be made. I felt something that is in me change when I followed you down. I don't want to know. Wish I could write you off, I see you right through. I don't want to know how you could just set me off. I see you right through.

last year i broke up with a girl who made me very bad, made me feel insufficient and empty, and in the end i ended up being seen with a toxic person, but i didnt do anything wrong, i would give her the world, no longer she say "I love you" to me, today I hear this song to remember the good (and few) moments I had with her, but mainly, not making the same mistakes and being able to find someone who really likes me just as I will like.

[@The-Real-Worlds-View]

Good for you and you will meet someone who values you, gives you warmth and compliments your measures of comfort and personality qualities. My partner and I are going to work on eachother and ourselves individually. I gave up alcohol last August and she's just given up now herself. Better communication and compromise for sincere understanding of one another feelings. This band and Fiddlehead have been my heart ripper tones for months and months and months. She found me when I backed right off and went silent. I'm glad it scared her to realise what she was losing. "It's me or the bottle and I moved to my brothers." I actually feel significant again for once in my relationship. Your story touched me my friend and thanks for sharing. You will find someone meaningful of your values. The universe and frequency have a tendency of doing that. You did the right thing moving on. Best of luck to you and keep your head up and smile. Peace

[@juau2331]

@@The-Real-Worlds-View Thank you very much friend, I wish you the best always, that your walk is full of good things, and I thank you for understanding me, meeting someone or not, I will enjoy what is good in life and make my dreams come true. Another band I like is killswith engage, they have a song called "this is absolution", and a part of this song touches and illuminates this road of pure darkness in my life. "Don't let the world deceive you Don't let their words betray you Don't let their lies deceive you Let them do their worst We will not die this way (this is absolution) Death claims us no more (no more) Do not grieve, end the suffering We will live, live eterna " me, you and all of us will live forever, with pride and peace in our hearts.
