Did mayday parade really comment on this? If so i hope it was sarcastically. Mayday is the saddest band ive ever heard. 18 years later they finally let go of katie and feel good about themselves.
this is our love letter to the scene - to the bands who paved the way for us can’t wait to hear you all singing this back at us soon 🖤 wanna know a real dirty little secret? we've hidden 13 references to other bands in the lyrics of I Miss 2003 👀
This Song sound good, but..... why?! Mayday Parade - A Lesson In Romantics - 2007! The All-American Rejects - 2005 MCR - The Black Parade - 2006! - Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge 2004. Paramore - Riot! - 2007. Motion City Soundtrack - Commit This To Memory - 2005. Simple Plan - Welcome To My Life - Still Not Getting Any...- 2004
Ahhh, now I understand: References don't have from 2003, too. You just sing that you sung to New Found Glory and Good Charlotte (The Anthem) which both fit with 2003.
"So tell me that you’re alright, ‘cause I’m not okay".. I can feel this is what was happened with Linkin Park's vocalist in the past, but the difference is you ADMIT that 'you're not okay' 🙂
Honestly I thought you were just shittily promoting yourself on their page but then I heard the callout to you in the lyrics and it made way more sense.
1.Miserable at Best - Mayday Parade 2.That's what you get 3. Dirty little secret - A.A.R 4.Tell Me That You're Alright - Motion City Soundtrack - Everything Is Alright 5. I'm not ok - M.C.R 6. Best of me - The Starting Line 7.Still four in the morning - The Used - Taste of Ink 8. New Found Glory 9. Welcome to my life - Simple Plan 10. Jaded - Mest (feat. Benji Madden) 11. Complicated - Avril Lavigne 12. The middle - Jimmy Eat World 13. Boring - Blink 182
I was 24, but this was still the favourite time of my life. I still listen to all this kind of music. Bands like As It Is, With Confidence, Waterparks, etc... help me remember just how ace it was!
Holy shit the amount of references to oldschool songs though - Welcome To My Life, Complicated, I'm Not OK, to name a few - you boys have outdone yourselves, this absolutely rules
This totally sounds like it could have been written by A Day to Remember. Especially that pre-chorus, it sounds JUST like them. It doesn't help that Patty's voice has gotten deeper over the years, and is starting to sound a lot like Jeremy. Not a criticism, just an observation. This is awesome. I like it a lot.
@@shnicegaming I don’t think it is, I’m pretty sure it’s just the way that the combination of patty’s new, deeper vocal style, combined with ronnie’s backing vocals, sounds together
Damn those references. Good Charlotte, the starting line, my Chem, new found glory, The All American Rejects, avril Lavigne, mayday parade, simple plan, motion city soundtrack, the used, jimmy eat world, paramore, mest. Totally would've been cool if they added boys like girls too or even relient K
One of the most slept on bands in the scene. Live shows are always killer and they're always changing up their sound every album cycle, very rare that a band can pull it off so well. What a fucking tune this is though.
My mom introduced me to Good Charlotte and Green Day growing up. She bought me my first guitar and encouraged my dreams of becoming a musician. I work in a "boring" field now, sitting at a desk and clicking my mouse a bunch of times every day, but I still want to get into music prod once I have the time/can afford to invest seriously. Thanks mom. I miss you.
I graduated in 04 and was definitely part of the hot topic crew and it truly was the last good era for anything and everything. This world is depressing these days and it would be so awesome to have a remote like Adam sandler in click so i could go back and watch videos of my life in those days. Crazy how fast we grow and move through life.
Also a '91 baby like Patty and honestly, the references and the feel of this hit so close to home right now. I discovered this song in an airport on my way home from seeing my grandma just days before she passed just before New Year's, and I'll be using so much of the music this references during this healing process, like I always do. A girlfriend of mine passed years ago in a car accident right after we listened to a bunch of The Used while getting high in my car just a day or so prior. This music is so engrained in my soul and it makes this song just hit so different nowadays. I miss 2003 as well, and nothing is gonna stop that anymore, because no one was there for me like NFG or MCR or The Used or Mayday Parade or Dashboard.
I like how this song, on the surface, is about missing the "good ol days" but, you could almost interpret it as a losing a loved one (to death, or breakup) in 2003 song at the same time. Music is wonderful.
Also... "Tell me that you're all right (Motion City Soundtrack - Everything is Alright) Because I'm Not Okay (My Chemical Romance - I'm not okay), I left the best of me (A Day to remember - Best of me) In 2003" Not sure if this was on purpose to pay homage to the oldies of emo-ish bands but, just something I couldn't help but notice! Again, Music is wonderful.
- "oh, what a cool track" *starts searching for all the references* - "dammit this track is amazing" This is probably going to be your best album guys. Fucking keep it up. ❤️🔥
It's honestly kind of scary how fast the 2000s are becoming further and further in the past, very soon teens won't remember that time at all and that makes me sad ): Before everyone including little kids were always on their phones, video cameras were still around, people had separate phones and cameras, subcultures weren't all online, sorry I sound like an old man but honestly those really were the good ole days for me even though I was young.
I was just 10 in 2003. I assume anyone younger than me (28) barely remembers the 2000s. I met my husband in high school when I was 14, when having a flip phone that took shitty pictures was the new cool thing. Now people use Tinder, Bumble, and other dating apps, and it baffles me. When I met my husband, smartphones weren't a thing yet, the iPod nano was only a year or two old, and we didn't have apps yet. To a kid, that time probably sounds ancient or seems like it would be several decades ago with all the tech we have now, but it was just 14 years ago.
You guys are keeping that 2003 sound alive and well! You know it’s a damn good tribute too when NFG gives you props too. Miss those days but as long as new bands like you guys are keeping that vibe alive, they’ll never be forgotten.
I was only in 3rd grade in 2003 and yet I remember that was the peak of coming across all these various pop punk bands and I was hooked. 27 now and this shit slaps 🤙🏻
Musically, I love the mix of the sound of 2000s emo and pop punk with the current sound of the scene. Paying homage to the past while creating something new.
I'm not okay simply because I can't believe they are gone... I wish nothing but the best to the guys, but I already miss them with my entire heart. Long Live As It Is
@@jessymfwilson I'm flattered you would do that just for me. "I miss it too." " I just graduated high school." 😳 punctuation makes all the difference sweetheart.
Look I was like 2 in 2003, but this still makes me miss the early 2000's. Everyone was right when they say you shouldn't grow up to fast. While I don't miss school, I really do miss when I could just go to the park, have fun, make friends easily, and have not a care in the world besides when lunch was haha
I can’t stop listening to this song! It’s so damn good! I love the numerous references within the lyrics! This song takes me back to a time when I was a teenager and life was so much easier. Life was calm and the worst thing I had to worry about at the time was how late I was gonna stay up. This song is a much needed escape for me at a time when my life is kind of heavy at the moment. Thank you guys for this absolute masterpiece and for all of the music through the years. 🙏🖤🖤
I was 15, miss every second of this. Im now a father of 4, army veteran, married for 15 years. Its been a long ride so far and I have many miles left. But if I could go back for 1 day just to see why it was so great, I would in a heart beat. We all get older and will all breathe for the last time, but nothing will ever smell as sweet as our youthful days. This song is amazing.
Not same, but similar (was 16, mom of 2, married 17 years, husband & hs sweetheart is a navy veteran) Also, I gotta ask. Did the military traumatize you as badly as it did my husband?
*Lyrics:* I've been feeling old and out of context And if I'm really being honest I miss everything I had at sixteen Now I'm feeling miserable at best I guess that's what you get when your dirty little secret Is how I miss the year that gets me So tell me that you're alright, 'cause I'm not okay I left the best of me in 2003 Now life is boring, let's write a story where we never grow up Still four in the morning, Singing New Found Glory at the top of our lungs So tell me that you're alright, 'cause I'm not okay I left the best of me in 2003 I'm in the middle of a crisis Welcome to my life, no I don't think that I like this I can't believe I got this jaded (got this jaded) I remember singing to "The Anthem" My friends were the best, wish I knew it when I had them 'Cause now it's kind of complicated So tell me that you're alright, 'cause I'm not okay I left the best of me in 2003 Now life is boring, let's write a story where we never grow up Still four in the morning, Singing New Found Glory at the top of our lungs So tell me that you're alright, 'cause I'm not okay I left the best of me in 2003 I'd drive through every red light just so I could press rewind (We'll go back in time) So let me kill the headlights, maybe if we close our eyes (We'll go back in time) I'd drive through every red light just so I could press rewind (We'll go back in time) So let me kill the headlights, maybe if we close our eyes (We'll go back in time) So tell me that you're alright, 'cause I'm not okay I left the best of me in 2003 Now life is boring, let's write a story where we never grow up Still four in the morning Singing New Found Glory at the top of our lungs So tell me that you're alright, 'cause I'm not okay I left the best of me in 2003
In 2003 I was in high school and wasn't even aware of how amazing emo music and culture was...it wasn't until college I found my voice by listening to the likes of Taking back Sunday and the Used. I never looked back. To this day emo isn't dead and it's not a phase, it's a lifestyle and I am who I am because of it. I love this song!!
I hope you guys realize that you really brought back the feeling your talking about missing, I missed 2003 too and I realized why one night while on mushrooms and listening to you…..we lost that rebellious nature and the need to be noticed, I’ve been able to bring that back out of me again and even helped cure my depression and lowered my anxiety cuz of that revelation and was even able to start getting sober all because of that revelation. I love you guys stick around please we’ve lost so much since 2003 let’s get it back
This is such a great song and it captures the period of time perfectly, through reference and sound. I think the world itself misses 2003, things were much simpler back then, everything has got a little weird the last 10 years or so! There’s a lot of good nowadays but I think the damage social media has caused, the divide through politics and the pandemic has made a lot of people feel more alone than ever. Thanks for the music lads, it keeps us a community!
You may miss 2003.. but I miss 2013, discovered band like you.. as it is, dial tones.. heard new bands like pierce the veil, sleeping with sirens.. mayday parade new album, monster in the closet.. banging to All Time low's Don't panic.. Listening to sad boy bands, Real Friends, Knuckle Puck.. that year on 2013, having great time with my highschool crush, bought my first bass guitar.. lot of memories in 2013.. thanks for being there for my teenage years..
I feel exactly the same. I've always listened to all different types of music being a musician, but I've never really 'grown out' of anything. If you liked it then, the chances are you'd like it now because it was awesome in the first place or nostalgia. UNLESS you listened for reasons other than the music. I still listen to ALOT of early pop punk and love it ( Homegrown anyone ) and newer stuff like Greyscale and still follow alot of those bands like NFG who are so consistent it's crazy. It's sooo catchy and the hooks, melodies and vocals are like amped up super catchy pop. I recognised many references in this. Loved the first two As it Is albums and looks like this one too. Really keeping the torch alive.
The homage paid to all these different bands (before I even knew what the song was about) gave me chills when I caught them the first time listening. This deserves so much love guys!!
THIS SONG IS VERY VERY VERY VERY AMAZING, I'm so happy for all this progress and that you guys have changed my life with your music, it's gratifying to see the level your music moves not only with me but with the guys, I LOVE YOU AS IT IS!!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
For someone who exclusively listens to metalcore, deathcore, and death metal, I must say that this song is an absolute banger. That pre chorus is so damn catchy
This damn song gets me every single time. Those were the best years of my life. I will ALWAYS be a punk rock/emo kid until I die. The nostalgia is this song is out of this world.
Bro I graduated in 2003!! I do miss those days!! Just discovered you today, subbed and came straight to the comments to see if anyone else thought of New Found Glory when they heard this!! 😅 Keep rockin on my guys!!
I can't get enough of this song and 44 years old at 2022 and 2003 being the year I was married, I look back at everything and realize that things are just as good now as they were then.REALLY!!l
The early 2000’s were pretty much better in every way. Trends were cooler, music was better, there was just the right amount of technology where it wasn’t overkill, social media didn’t tell everyone what to be offended by, I mean the list goes on. All my opinion of course lol.
I was blasting The Ataris - So long Astoria album the other day and someone went up to my car and started to sing the lyrics from a song I was playing. I felt amazing for the rest of the day. The small group of kids who listened to this music made such a big impact on my life and still does.
Every time I hear this song, I have it full blast much to my husbands dismay! This is the song I'm singing at 4 in the morning at the top of my lungs! This is also the song that got me into As It Is. and I'm hating myself because their whole discography is gold! I'm a late bloomer, but this band means so much to me nowadays! Just hate they aren't touring anymore 😞
Would kill to see them I had tickets however ended up not being able to go as I am too ill due to many illnesses including cancer to go by myself isnt allowed. It is on my bucket list I hope they come back, anywhere near PHX or Scottsdale. This song has helped me so much it's crazy I know they will never see this but, I still hope they know how thankful I am for the music it has helped me to want to survive which is hard given my medical crap.
I miss 2007. That was when I bought my first pop punk cd and really started listening to harder music. Had to find myself from age 20-26 but now I’m finding out I missed A LOT of amazing music including As It Is. People who say it’s just a phase are wrong. It was never a phase!
AHH IM SMILING SO MUCH!!! THIS SONG MADE MY DAY!! I listened to it all day at work and finally had time to watch the video and ah I'm so obsessed with it!!!
My friend shared this song and as soon as I heard it I started to tear up. I was 13 in 2003, it's the year that my mom passed away, so the lyrics really got me. Thank you for making this 😭😭❤️
This reminds me of the old days watching Patty's covers for some reason and the vibes are ✨immaculate✨. Music has always been a huge part of my life and I'm so fucking happy to have been on this journey with y'all and seeing everything you've accomplished. Literally so proud of you guys. 😭🖤
I'd kill to go back in time. This song feels so close to back when I first heard you guys. It's not Blenheim Palace but the "Okay" reference was appreciated. It quickly became one of my favorites of you guys.
This song is so iconic it’s so beautiful idk what I would do without the early 2000s I’m 25 years old now as of July 15th and so much of my music comes from the early 2000s with loving all kinds of Music going to warped tour and all the bands I love from the early 2000s just makes the early 2000s so memorable and just so amazing without them idk where k be today hands down no cap 🧢 I don’t wanna tear up wrighting this but I kinda am
Graduated elementary in 2003, kids in the area are all following a game trend whether it is trading card game or rubber bands whatever toy we can think of because literally everything we see as a kid is a toy, every kids dream is to collect everyone's cards or rubber bands and be the best in town. Or just plain old game of tag and hide and seek after school at the school yard before it gets dark. Get home with your mom cooking you a nice dinner and everyone in the table is talking about their day. Sleep, repeat. No cellphone and apps.
Although I was born in 2003 and Im still grateful for the childhood I had, there are times where I do wish I could've been born maybe 5 or 10 years earlier, just so I could've known what life was like during these years. Seemed like a much more welcoming and overall fun time to be alive. Kinda feel like I'm growing up in the wrong generation 😔
I'm about to turn 18, on November 14th. It's actually nuts that 2003 was that long ago. I'm simultaneously really young compared to others (especially the ones that reminisce on those days) but also basically an adult.
I can feel the nostalgia hitting me hard, I love it and it makes me sad at the same time to see that certain times are being left behind. I absolutely love this song and the band.
