The Weepies - Can't Go Back Now [Official Music Video]

[@AlaskanBookwyrm]

My roommate in college set this as her alarm, so I woke up to this song every day at 6 AM for three months. And I'm still not sick of it.

[@cnewtonguitar]

I just listened to it 17 times in a row.....same

[@amyr8061]

That’s adorable

[@FurtzdeBooty]

you had a great roommate

[@mikeattard3543]

Their songs are just so good that they don't get old hearing 'em.

This song perfectly punctuates the sense of melancholy growing up actually has. Many people sleepwalk through ageing, blinded by the distant dreams of their perfect, idealised life. So many don’t see those beautifully bittersweet moments underneath our imaginations. Our parents getting old, friends growing distant, interests shifting, love fading, time receding. New family born, new friends made, new interests discovered, new loves arriving, memories growing. Life is incredible. I wish you all a good journey through it.

[@caldw615]

That wave of melancholy has hit me a lot recently. The past few years of me being away from my parents, living with my partner, seeing my grandfather get sick with cancer and pass... it's a strange feeling. I sometimes long for the simpler times I once had because I didn't know I'd never be able to relive those same moments now. And this is coming from someone who's struggled with depression and anxiety for over 10 years and is only more recently been feeling content with how my life turned out. Everything is bittersweet.

[@deurox3526]

So I'm just gonna screenshot this reply of Urs. It's so beautiful! And dip!

[@WoodlandAsh]

Apologies, I did not see your reply before. Though it can feel brutal & harrowing, death is a part of life as much as birth. I lost my grandmother the other week, the final grandparent to depart & it gave much to reflect on, knowing that entire generation of my tree had now gone forever…very sobering. I understand wanting to return to those old times, even more so with our current perspectives in hand. Oh what potential we would hold! But we reside here & now, so where you can, think and see beyond yourself and enjoy a life that is fuller & fulfilled by the relationships and delights you gain from others. I hope life has been kind since you replied to my comment & that you are able to manage the feelings & temper them with worthy deeds and actions that enrich you 🙂

[@WoodlandAsh]

You’re very kind to say, but you should post what you feel too & your perspective! 🙂

"because in the end the only steps that matter are the ones you take all by yourself" -- there is an infinite amount of wisdom in these words

[@NorwoodingSkullMask]

their harmonies are actually perfect

[@johnnygermisdead]

i discovered this because summer 2012 I hit rock bottom and a stranger talked me out of making a terrible decision. they used this sng to help me and I cried for hours. I learned a lot and I wish I knew who he/she was.

[@RogerKeulen]

Hope your doing fine....

[@rlloyd81]

This is so original. "Go where you want to go." "Be what you want to be." "I can't really say why everybody wishes they were somewhere else." Just love it.

[@chance793]

I LOVE this band, too bad they're so underrated

[@franziska2521]

just thought about this song two days ago when i started a new career path (kind of) and was super nervous. But they told me the only steps that matter are the ones you take all by yourself and I repeated that in my head while walking in. Love the song anf it's message and it has helped me a lot when I was trying to get out of my comfort zone!

[@nadiaherrera3243]

This song makes me cry so hard, but also makes me realize I gotta try. Thanks. ❤️

[@bsus1412]

Right now, I'm finally stepping into the world of finding a career through my first stable job. Not to mention, I'm prepping for graduate school while trying to identify plans for my future. This song is a perfect metaphor for my life, and has carried me through this time of indecision. Simply beautiful.

[@DFGDFGDF-c7p]

wonder how everything turned out for you

[@_joeyXO]

I hope that everything fell into place and you’re doing great.

[@TheDallasDwayne]

I hope life turned out alright for you, friend.

[@azraelscarlet5213]

Life Unexpected brought me there.

[@kelseylynn9]

YES!!

[@joeljakob3424]

one of the best bands in the world today.

[@bradleymandy]

i can't stop listening to this darn song...

[@IceGirl2772]

Nobody really does songs like this anymore. All the songs now are mainly about dancing, sex and drugs; not about all the important stuff. I heard this song on Conviction Kitchen Australia this morning and I fell in love with it.

[@heatemyson]

it seems, today, that all you see is violence in movies… and sex on tv. Where are those good old fashion values? On which we used to rely?

[@thethundering]

I completely agree. I'm just tired of people complaining about/blaming popular artists for the crap that's saturating mainstream music, when ultimately the problem is the average consumer consistently paying the record companies millions of dollars to produce it.

[@verblegherulous1]

My goodness this song just keeps getting more beautiful every time it crosses my path!

[@watae99]

One of the best under rated groups ever.....its like they fell right out of the sixties........love it.....

[@rangercynth]

I loooove The Weepies

[@AngelicaUygur]

I suddenly found myself loving these songs from yesterday :), Never heard the weepies before, how could be???

[@PearlLikesBirds]

When people say that the Weepies should be more famous I agree, but at the same time I don't want it because then their songs will get over-played on TV and would lose their magic. This is real music, this is beautiful, not the stupid songs that get millions of views on KZbin and don't even deserve half of those views. The Weepies sing meaningful songs... I love them!

[@bjornjohansen9688]

Why does this song bring tears? 🥺

[@blank557]

This song sure gets me in the feels.

[@BrittVanNess]

I don't think there's a single weepies song that I don't like. Just stumbled on this gem today; love it!

[@andrewhdemarest]

you just have to reflect, find the thing that makes it worth the struggle and know that you put so much effort into life this far that turning things away and stopping would be the worst mistake ever... just keep walking and know that there are countless others walking the same path that you are. Stay strong, and never give up

[@WoodlandAsh]

I needed to read this reminder.

[@earthwielder]

I clicked on this song simply because I thought you can't go wrong with puppets. And I'm glad I did; this song has meaning for me right now. It's a very good song for the big transitions you make in life.

[@flavaqueen5287]

Scrubs 9x03 brought me to this amazing song. :)

[@haroken13]

The Weepies are the answer to current popular music trends.

[@high2407]

This might be now the 18th time in a row i've listened to this song.

[@pissingmeoff15]

This song was played during my graduating class' senior slideshow at the move-up ceremony..Gotta say there were definitely teary eyes in the audience. Love this song

[@Fernandaaapr]

I don't even remember where i first listened to this song, all i know is it was a movie too, but as i can see here in the comments this music has been to a lot of TV shows and movies! No surprise, it really is awesome

[@Natanskie]

every day i write some words ( for example "don't ever look back" but only if i want to say it to someone or if i feel it) in google and im looking for a interesting song which will be reflect my feeling. Today i found this and i wanted to say that this is a beautiful song!

[@zoepi9]

Let's thank Life Uneexpected for bringing us here

[@AnthonysMelodies]

..... Such a beautiful song.. My goodness

The yearbook they show at the start of the video is from a middle school I went to. A friend of mine told me about it who was actually on that page, pretty funny I haven't seen that thing in years. Baker Bulldogs of Damascus MD.! Not my type of tunes but good luck to you all anyways, I wish you nothing but the best.

[@humuhumunukunuku]

Such a beautiful gem of a song. Over too soon, just like life

[@neomargs]

Ugh, these lyrics are beautiful. "But in the end the only steps that matter are the ones you take all by yourself"

[@CarlRobbens]

I'm an ordinary guy of 22 years. I am Mexican and we're going through a difficult stage, you know... somehow this song and all my music make me believe that there is something good in the world and my country, I do believe that everything will be fine and someday my kids and my family will have one more chance to be happy :)

[@HmmHarriet]

seriously, how nice is this man.

[@saturnspherez]

I heard the end of the song watching drop dead diva googled it in hope and hey presto here i am, Thanx so much to the person that posted it a beautiful song who cares what show when you appreciate good soundz

[@Diana-ob6tk]

But in the end the only steps that matter are the ones you take all by yourself. Idk why but listening to that right now made me feel something. I'm going through sort of a tough time and I can say I needed this song right about now.

[@masternamer1959]

I love the Weepies puppet pals. Stands the test of time and still pulls at the heart strings as if I'm somehow the puppet to their beautiful artistry.

Its amazing how many songs are played in the background of tv shows that bring me to KZbin. Yet again... tv brought me here! AMAZING SONG! I am a new fan and will be one for life! I am now downloading all of your songs on ines! Record more weepies!

That was brilliant. Such a tongue-in-cheek contrast to the sincerity of the actual song.

I love The Weepies I seriously listen to them everyday. They are my feel good music :)

[@haydenclaireheroes]

I heard it on life unexpected and I really liked it.

[@Headhunter1234256]

I would argue that even the people who came here from a stupid dramatic tv show have to appreciate good music or they never would have bothered looking up the song at all. Even more than that it is amazing that bands get the opportunity to actually be heard in a way only television can truly provide (with radio stations the way they are that is).

[@CloudedGaurdian]

OMGPOP's Hit Machine made me fall in love with this song. That's what brought me here! I had to favourite it. ;)

[@simplyq7894]

Omg I love this video. Every time I feel down I watch this vid and it lifts me back up again. I love the weepies.

[@1JSWnow]

love the song

[@kyssed1]

some people had issue with the muppets, but I get the feeling this fits with what the song is saying. I grew up with the muppets and the song is about the wistful feelings we have as adults and self doubt, regrets, and feelings of being stuck in our lives. The song is saying (to me) that you didn't loose anything from when you felt safe as a child. You grew, experienced life, and became something more and to not forget all the strength and courage it took to get Here.

[@leishi19]

This is my new all time favorite song from the weepies

[@brobtheterp]

i agree, i like the weepies but wish their songs were longer, on another note "tunnel of love" is good, but I think "telegraph road" is dire straits' most powerful ballad that is incredible for all 15 minutes, i just wish I could have heard them perform it live, that must have been out of this world
