Song from Friday Night Lights movie.

[@Joeyeliijah3005]

Tonight was the last night I played high school football. We lost a playoff game and it hit me. Once I put my jersey down in a pile for it to get washed, I realized this was it. I told the lower class men to keep grinding and us seniors sat and cried, we knew it was really over. My point being, enjoy the lights while they shine on you and your team because in the blink of an eye, you’re a senior and it’s your last year to play. Kick ass while you can! Class of 2019

[@rufussweeneymd]

Dammit, that part where Billingsley’s dad puts the ring on his finger gets me every time.

[@brandonhall3149]

Every single time, bro..there's several moments in that movie that hit you, but that part right there just rips your soul out. A beautiful moment..

[@mikemartinez7023]

Seen this movie 1000 times tear up every time!!

[@hankhill5622]

A movie never made me cry, until I watched that one scene, just man, that was powerful to watch I couldn’t hold it in.

[@charlesholzer5409]

Hank Hill it probably doesn’t help that this song is on in the background

[@hankhill5622]

Charles Holzer exactly! The music really adds to it

[@mhsness6168]

This is probably one of the most beautiful guitar solos I've ever heard.

[@jpdarnell7]

Not probably, son. Not probably.

[@evg02]

It’s DEFINITELY one of the saddest I’ve ever heard. Just the realism in the scene of the movie brought me to tears. I finished my last high school football game just last year cause I graduated in May 2020. But man the feeling of knowing that you just played your last game is overwhelming and it feels like everything is moving in slow motion as you’re taking your final steps off the field, watching all your teammates in tears hugging each other, hugging coaches, family members. The movie really portrayed that part fantastically. (Sorry for typing so much but this song means so much to me)

[@Chris-hq7nl]

@@evg02 I looked this soundtrack up because Your Hand in Mine is in the Pacifico commercial. I found a similar thread on a clip of the final game scene from the movie - fourteen years later (for me) that scene still makes me cry. Whoever produced that scene lived that moment. Those last few moments will always be with you and they'll certainly be one of your best memories - you are a better person than you would have been otherwise for having been in that moment.

[@DeejaySmitt]

This movie shows you that it's not just about winning, but picking yourself up once you've been knocked down.

[@iamtherealwill]

If you've ever had passion for a sport you'll probably never play again.. This hits hard 😔

[@zrichards907]

Stopped playing football in 07... there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of my years in football with all my friends. The fights, the bus rides, the pep rallys, the wins, the losses, taking state, and most importantly those damn lights.

[@iamtherealwill]

[@resilienceperseverance3992]

This song makes me think of what LSU Coach Orgeron said about football. “We need to play. This state needs it. This country needs it”. He’s 100% right.

[@number1steel]

Listening to this song and thinking about high school, the memories with friends and family will never leave me.

[@maninthebox0]

One of the saddest moments in a movie I've ever seen. Even though in real life the game ended with a deflected pass. No one wants to face that last high school game. As much as it sucks I truly believe you learn more from a loss.

[@justlift4031]

When they say it's gone, homie it's gone. Some will never play again. 😢

[@tebzatebs3469]

I have never in my life watched a movie as many times as I have watched Friday Night Lights. I basically got a kick out of it. You have got to respect a coach that builds a team in high school that wins State Championship. As for the players, well it’s as simple as love, once you find what makes you feel alive, it will never be enough, that’s the bottom line. Hope Comes Alive A reason why storytellers should be paid, Friday Night Lights is something worth paying attention to.

[@TheVictorLana]

Well i love soccer. It's a great sport. But I think that football gives u a greater sense of brotherhood because, unlike soccer you can't rely on just one person to make the play. Even when your running back makes a huge gain, you still need that handoff from the quarterback, and the blocking from the line and receivers. Feeling that someone is willing to risk themselves to block for you, just instills a huge sense of brotherhood. And when the season is over, you feel exactly like this song.

[@TheDeanTTV]

This song always brings tears to my eyes. I'm a sophomore and my football career got cut short this year with a neck injury. I would do anything to be out on the field with my brothers.

[@karstengranja8932]

As a football player who just hung up the cleats, as my team lost in the state quarter finals, my heart drops when I hear this song. Football was a way of life, then it just all stops, and you don't know what to do. Moving on is hard when football was what made me feel so alive. I will always remember my time as a Tiger.

[@rasputingonzales6030]

I understand. The loss of football in my life made me go back to college and receive a certification to teach. Just retired after 28 years as a head HS coach. I miss it...all over again.

[@n1ckdrag0n]

The scene where Permian loses is honestly my favourite scene, because it they all show pride and true emotion of a passionate player, and this song helps the movie crowd realize that by the tempo and emotion

[@Celticpotato]

i lost the state championship 2 years in a row my junior and senior year... this song makes me cry every time i hear it. such amazing memories. i would do anything to go back.

[@bulldogplayer013]

this movie brings out the true greatness in football. the best game alive. every member is your brother. the game has so much behind it. the 6am workouts, after school agilities during the off season, seeing improvement in all your teamates and your self to play your heart out once a week for 3 months of the year. this sport has so much behind it that no player will ever forget. The game of football is the best game played hands down.

[@clould337REACH117]

2009 we played an undefeated season and lost state championship, out of that team all of those guys we carried on like men, our QB is now at Virginia Tech many of you know him as Logan Thomas ill know him as Lo, that will always be one of the best years of my life, keep up the work Hokies

[@6024691380]

I blew out my knee in the pre season practice, with it, my senior season. I also lost my scholarship chances, only one school contacted me after I was injured. To watch the other running backs miss holes and passes made me and my whole family sick. Some of the most enjoyable and memorable moments in my life came just before leaving the locker room, an open field tackle, a crack back block, hearing the air leave your opponents lungs. There is nothing like high school football.

[@valueinyou9931]

Whether you were a player...a coach...a cheeleader....a teacher...or a student supporting your school and team and just having a great time...this tune - and the unforgettable fire of Friday Night Lights - will live forever 🔥

[@75flash]

I'm 21 years old, in college. Played football from middle school to freshman year of college. You know, I wasn't a big star, I wasn't even a starter all the time, I didn't get a ton of PT. I played OL and spent a good bit of time on the sidelines. And you know what, I miss it like I can't even express. I miss the heat, the exhaustion, the whistles, the impact of shoulder pads, my shirt soaked in sweat. I know its hard, but cry not for the never again, smile for the always remember.

[@MrSniper775]

This song makes me sad and happy at the same time... I love football way to much! It goes by so fast.

[@Madswol63]

To my son... Chris.... I love you with all I left - you are all I could have ever imagined and more. God bless - carry on son!

[@coltonpatrello5110]

This song can go with any sport. That feeling of loss and knowing that you'll never put that uniform on again hita hard, and it will never go away

[@THNF89]

This reminds me of the locker room after we lost our last playoff game in highschool. There's never a more acceptable time for men to cry then after their last game of football lol.

[@ctofpi50]

aaww high school football. the practices, the funny stories in the locker rooms, the special treatment you got at school, everybody knowing your name, GAME DAY, that feeling you get right before you take the field, that utter joy after a win or the disgust after a loss, the after parties after a win, the feeling of waking up sore and hungover after friday night and while all at the same time not knowing that these are the best times of your life. Yep nothin like high school football.

[@bigmikewilliams]

This song just gets to everyone when they play they're last game in something or a sport your never gonna get to play again it just makes you miss it more and then you ask yourself what could have you done to make you or your team better!

[@rollingkneebar3534]

My friends ask me why I love martial arts...why would I want the cauliflower ear, the messed up joints, the constant matburn? Why would I break my body for something? It's the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. It's knowing that the only thing separating you from unconsciousness or broken bones is you and your skill and your spirit. It's that primal urge to yell all of that energy out from under a crimson mask like Darren Elkins. It's not pretty, but there's something so beautifully human about it...

Going on 4 years since senior year of high school and the things I would do to play one more game.... Take the lessons you learn and pack em up tight and bring them with you in the journey called life. Life will knock you down but don't stay down, get back up and go again. Even if you lose the state championship, get back up and go after it again...

[@75flash]

This song makes me think of my football coach from my junior and senior year. He was the 2nd greatest mentor I'd ever had, next to my father. He taught me more about football and life in 6 months than any other coach had taught me in 4 years. He was a man that touched the lives of people all over the east coast. I know this because when he was diagnosed with cancer were calling to offer their prayers. David Farnham passed away on November 27, 2007. Beloved Father, Coach, and friend

[@J209Kato]

Escalon, Ca. 7,000 people. 950 students. "The greatest little football town" that is our towns nickname. 6,000+ every game. Players are famous for 4 years of their lives. Heroes to young boys. 8 section championships. 2 mythical state championships and in 2010 became the first small public school to win a California State Bowl Championship in Division 3. 21 point underdogs win 30-14. Tradition Never Graduates, Cougar 4 Life. I miss being apart of it every damn day. HS football=greatest times

[@jakereiter9265]

All I think about is the team I just got done playing for. We had such a great season and we lost in the district championship. I'll never get to play with some of those guys again. You all will always be a family to me. Don is also my favorite, battling a relationship with your father is hard. I have been there and done that..

[@jasonsilva9654]

I quit my freshman year after dislocating my hip and my ankle in the same year from football. I gave up the sport I loved to play because I wanted to be able to walk straight. Giving up a sport you love really hurts, I know thats corny to say. But I lost a big part of me, all of my friends, all of my memories on the bus were gone. I watched from the bleachers and watched my brothers tear it up only wishing I was out there with them. My love for football is still there but so much guilt lays with it

This is my diarrhea song. Coming off methadone after being a dope fiend half my life, the daily bathroom misery remains. I put on this song, and at the beginning when it's really bad (for those who know what I'm talking about), I feel like Mike Winchell when he dropped to his knees after that last play. I feel broken, disgusting, utterly hopeless...But, then, towards the end of the song, the pain subsides. I become Don Billingsley, and my alcoholic, never proud of me dad, Tim McGraw, points at me in approval, comes down to the field, takes his state championship ring off, and puts it on my finger. And that is when I can stand up from that horrible daily toilet experience, and go through my day. I know that God is doing the work for me to come off this methadone. I drop to 8mg tomorrow, down from 120 a year ago, and 15 years on dope. I could never do this on my own, even with the methadone. But Jesus Christ is ever present with me. To God be the Glory. Forever and ever, Amen.

This song totally captures that feeling of looking back at the game of football and coming to the realization that the short time you had playing it has come to an end and you will never play again. I played from 8-14, rep, house league, multiple positions but mostly quarterback which took so much out of you mentally and physically even at a young age. At the time I would stress and at times dread the late night practices but looking back now i wish i wouldve had more fun with it and appreciated

Not just football players, basketball too. Sports are filled with so much emotion and passion and invoke these feelings to anyone who loves their sport with all their hearts. Senior night, or your last high school game in general, is the most emotional game of your life. Not everyone is going to play after that game, and to come to that realization is heartbreaking. After the clock hits zero, it's over forever. Tears, joy, regret, pain: all of this is enveloped in this song. Every moment counts.

Because some people who listen to b-sides on obscure albums believe that makes them better than the masses, like they're somehow more knowledgeable about music then the rest of us. And now that millions of people have heard the song, they don't get to use this song as an example of their superior knowledge of music compared to the rest of us anymore. So they decide that if you heard it through the movie, that you're deserving of criticism because you didn't hear it the "right" way.
