2004. High school memory. Life was much simpler back then.

[@nitsuj182]

Agreed! I was a freshmen when this song came out on TV! :'(

wenaldy So Much Simpler, It Almost Hurts To Tyoe These Words

[@jessicat9999]

wenaldy I was just thinking the same thing. I wish i could rewind to simpler times

[@thisguy8106]

I remember I was a junior in high school and going through a "rough breakup" when this song came out. Listening to this brings back every memory of all that surrounded what this song meant to me back then. Bittersweet.

There is seriously nothing like the feeling when you stumble upon a hidden gem from your teenage years ❤.

[@bridget1721]

Saw them with Yellowcard and mayday parade last summer and I was transported right back to being 14/15 and hearing these songs for the first time. It was such a good night 😊

[@mizzoupatriot8814]

Such an underrated, hidden gem of a band...I bought this CD the day it came out when I was a teenager and played the hell out of it.

[@RossoCharm]

That CD is dynamite

[@Shelby_Erilyn]

Me too! Brings so many memories

[@NaeroK87]

Same, one of the few albums I can listen to from beginning to end

[@MartiLike]

I hope the band is doing okey and they know they've touched so many people even in 2023. This song will remain a banger.

[@jesseaugustine8539]

The addition of the strings on this song is amazing.

[@joshkenny258]

yeah

[@alanjohnsonbmw]

I had this song on my cheap 64MB MP3 Player in '04 when I was in High School. You could fit 7 songs on on it lmao. I can still remember the small bunch songs I would play on it every day but this one takes me straight back.

[@gopats85]

Yea reminds me of the Sony one my dad gave me sophomore year of hs that was small as hell that i think took like 2 aa batteries. Man good times of not being an adult.

[@winterrose9658]

Haven't heard this song in years. It's so good. It's giving me chills ❤❤❤

[@Backpacker507]

I'm 23 now, when I first listened to this song I was 15 and I still love the "page avenue", one of my favorites albums of all the time! ... listening to this now, brings me so much memories

[@richardwildlife88-wj6kl]

SOTY was my favorite band and I even saw y'all live in 2004. This CD, Page Avenue meant so much to me back in those days and I can still listen to it over and over again and get the same teen angsty feelings. I'm 35 now. Life is flying by.

[@brandonhutchinson4199]

Listened to this on repeat middle school, high school, and now almost 30 with kids! Take me back circa 2005.

suddenly this second i'm looking for this

[@nyros23]

I always liked this band, even though i love metal and harder rock. this stuff has always stuck with me over the years.

[@PaganWoman]

Love this song. When Page Avenue came out I never would have thought that I'd be able to chat and hang with the guys after shows, but 10 years later that's exactly what I'm doing. These guys are awesome.

[@jebadiahfyefye8994]

When page avenue came out I never thought it would be the last album they made that was good

[@terigibson439]

Miss the sleepless nights listening to this song on repeat..

[@delbroox]

Is so cool to read how many people listened to this I. High school. Hei strangers! We all kinda shared some thoughts, moments and now have some memories in common without even knowing it

[@mikelake1118]

I was in my 20’s when I first heard these guys and instantly liked them. I’m now almost 44 and still blast them at work in the shop!!! Life was better back then

[@pauldm5222]

Underrated song in the Page Avenue album. This song reminds me of my good ol' childhood. ♥️ Good times.

[@thetranceengineer]

Seen them last night in Glasgow supporting Yellowcard. They were amazing, set was tight as hell, guys singing is impeccable too. Got an amazing reception from everyone by the end of their set. Defo a throwback from the past. 👌🏻

[@KiingMaine]

This Song Hurts To Listen To Now Because It Lets Me Realize How Much Time Has Truly Passed. Farewell To The Good Days. ROCK ON!!!!

[@Fhkms]

I still have this song on my ipod!

[@whatsmandisaying]

2004. I was 17 and I remember driving home from the hospital after my dad having just died, and playing this CD on the way home.

[@davidll4334]

Damn man thats sad. Im really sorry.

[@richardwildlife88-wj6kl]

I'm so sorry. I was 16 in 2004 but this CD meant the world to me too.

Been listening to this song for 17 years and still loving it each time...

[@EddieSuri]

I just found it a month ago. This is talent and meaningful music

[@Renprophet]

How does this still sound so good in 2019??

[@ace-x6m]

The year has no effect on how it sounds. If it sounded good in 04 it should sound good now regardless. If you are true to your personality back then and still are the same person it shouldn't change unless you follow crowds that determine what they think is "cool" for you. This sounds just as good if not better now as it did back then to me.

[@Renprophet]

[@D-A-1776]

This is the one. 10/29/2024 the memories this invokes remembering being emo and young lol. Best times of my life.

They're still touring bro, you can go to a show and rock out. They played this last night in Dallas, I was there! :)

[@NosoybuenoparaelCliché7405]

Definitivamente, planeo escuchar esta canción cuando me haya mudado y regrese a mi ciudad natal en el futuro. Será un recordatorio tanto de los buenos como de los malos momentos que experimenté allí. Es significativa para mí ahora y, probablemente, será aún más impactante más adelante.

[@Blackadey]

I started One Tree Hill again and i heard this song... The memories just came rushing back to when i used to watch in 2005... Jake and Payton aarrrrgggg

[@LeighH2323]

This song always takes me back to high school.

The bridge is all crumbled, the water soaks into rocks That fell at the bottom of the road (at the end of the town) The town that we lived in, the memories shaken apart From the weeds that grow Over the sidewalks Running away from the streets we knew Sidewalks Like the time we thought was made for you, oh Out on the front porch and watching the cars as they go by 18 blue, 21 gray Looking ahead for the first time that we could drive out on our own To speed away From the sidewalks Running away from the streets we knew Sidewalks Like the time we thought was made for you, oh All of the days have passed us by And all of the sun is gone Away Sidewalks Running away from the streets we knew Sidewalks Running away from the streets we knew Sidewalks Like the time we thought was made for you The bridge is all crumbled, the water soaks into rocks (Sidewalks) That fell at the bottom of the road

I really like this music video. It's clever the way it doesnt reveal the intention until the very end.

[@chaz-e]

I see most people in the comment section are nostalgic about High school days, but TBH I find my current life more enjoyable...work, money, freedom to spend and live...a life with more meaning. The high school days were unstructured and I didn't have definite/concrete goals...but still it had a fun element attached to it and was fun :)

[@DuncanDonDuken]

Gonna see you guys again tomorrow in Pittsburgh!! Saw you at 2003 Xfest, was my first mosh pitt 🖤

[@LoriMazzola]

This song has always reminded me of one of my favourite Authors Mr. Shel Silverstein, The Giving Tree, A Light in the Attic, and Where the Sidewalk Ends are some of my most favourite classic works of Art... :) Thank you for writing with such splendid imagery... :) xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

Great song. Unfitting music video. Should've been filmed in a neighborhood with nostalgic themes.

[@iaamo13]

it will always be 'story of the year' no matter what year it is.

[@PrizedInferno]

Is it just me or does something that is supposed to bring back so much nostalgia just remind you of how depressed you used to be and I guess how much you are still holding on to you thought you got over.

Sidewalks Story Of The Year The bridge is all crumbled. The water soaks into rocks That fell at the bottom of the road (At the end of the town.) The town that we lived in. The memories shaken apart from the weeds that grow Over the sidewalks, Running away from the streets we knew, Sidewalks, Like the time we thought was made for you. Or Out on the front porch, Watching the cars as they go by (Eighteen blue, twenty one grey) Looking ahead for the first time that we could drive, Out on our own, To speed away From the sidewalks, Running away from the streets we knew, Sidewalks, Like the time we thought was made for you. Or All of the days have passed us by, All of the sun is gone away. Sidewalks, Running away from the streets we knew, Sidewalks, Running away from the streets we knew, Sidewalks, Like the time we thought was made for you. (Sidewalks) The bridges are crumpled, (Sidewalks) The water soaks into rocks, That fell at the bottom of the road :)

Even in the hip hop circle in high school (2004-2007) i couldnt help but gravitate directly towards the brand new to me, emo / scene / punk / goth circles..we called then the rockers, didnt no genre shit yet..but those loners, black sheep kids who sat alone, i ALWAYS sat with em n befriended em. They were exactly like me on the inside but i had that hip hop image to cover my personality completely. Seein them today, theyre still so friendly towards me, i had a soft spot for the weak, broken and bullied kids, those were my targets to make popular which in time they actually did make mad friends, lil timmy mad popular wit the hottest girls, brian won American Idol..i screamed Make Damn Sure and But Its Better If You Do by Panic on release with a buncha rock kids in an open crib😎some the bes days of my teen years

[@treyvenpizzaman9943]

TO EVERYONE TRYING TO FIGURE THIS VIDEO OUT: I think the connection is that our lives were so simple and untainted when we walked on the sidewalks, the places our parents and others controlled us and kept us, but when we could drive out, away from the streets we knew, we could explore and define ourselves. This dude I guess has an affair, which is probably not what he grew up on, and he's pretty much leaving what he knew and what he has now is different, he wishes he could go back to the place where it was simple, the sidewalks.... That's just an idea of how it relates, but if it doesn't then it doesn't matter, just an idea.

[@shadow7dreamer126]

Awesome! :)

[@AIonzoG]

Treyven Oliver Didn't think of it that way. Brilliant.

[@thelaw8042]

I think it was more about the destruction of relationships (the crumbled bridge and "sidewalks! running away from the streets we knew")and how naive we are in a happy one ("sidewalks! like the time we thought was made for you") and how our memories get tainted over time. (the weeds growing) The bridge represents the relationship and the sidewalks represent the pathway to the person. Running away from "the streets we knew" is running away from that person and as time passes we reminisce about our past with that person and how we thought we were made for each other, but those memories slowly get tainted represented by weeds growing.
