BLTKellys everyone likes this song regardless of our sob stories my dude. it has 15 mil views my dude. 3 people talking about their dead sibs aint gonna make 15 mil people like the song, my boy. my friend, my pal.
BLTKellys if someone makes it up on a comment it effects you in no way whatsoever, so why do you feel the need to call someone out when they may well be telling the truth? Makes you look like a heartless selfish ass as it's clear it's more important to you to have to tell off someone who might be exaggerating than possibly deeply upsetting someone who has already suffered profound pain.
2:53 "I love her" This song really makes me cry everytime that I listen to it. His voice is just so... raw, and real. You can tell he feels every single word he's saying. And the video is just amazing. Everyone is so cute, and lovely, and nostalgic about something I don't even know. Love is love, and in this video you can absolutely see how different and unique can love be for each person.
This is the first day of my life Swear I was born right in the doorway I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed They're spreading blankets on the beach Yours is the first face that I saw I think I was blind before I met you Now I don't know where I am I don't know where I've been But I know where I want to go And so I thought I'd let you know That these things take forever I especially am slow But I realize that I need you And I wondered if I could come home Remember the time you drove all night Just to meet me in the morning And I thought it was strange you said everything changed You felt as if you'd just woke up And you said "this is the first day of my life I'm glad I didn't die before I met you But now I don't care I could go anywhere with you And I'd probably be happy" So if you want to be with me With these things there's no telling We just have to wait and see But I'd rather be working for a paycheck Than waiting to win the lottery Besides maybe this time is different I mean I really think you like me
The Line "Yours is the first face that I saw, I think I was blind before I met you." is probably one of the most sentimental and beautiful lines ever written. Like I just heard this on Pandora, and it caught me off guard.... I started crying it was so beautiful.
The rhythm and the beat is absolutely basic. You can be sure Bob Dylan wasn't the first to use it, it's absolutely classic. The things that make this song a masterpiece (in my opinion, of course) are the text, the way he sings the song and the feels that the vocals and the extreme simplicity of the arrangement can inspire. Again, the rhythm is used and reused by hundreds of artists in thousands of songs, Dylan too. It's like saying that I can't use G,D,Am,C because I stole it from somebody. It doesn't make sense, it's so much used that it's impossible to even discover who invented it!
This is my wedding song. When we were deciding; we sat together and played for each other all the songs we'd been saving up as potential wedding songs. Even before we knew each other. We both had some serious contenders. When I played this for my (now) husband it was the only one we sat there and listened to with no other disractions. Holding each other's hand and just listening. A gentle squeeze at the parts that pulled at our heart. This was the one.
Me and my boyfriend had a lovely relationship. I loved him more than everything in the world, he made me the happiest human being and he was the love of my life. The day I met him was truly the "first day of my life". And now that we are over, it's very difficult to remember a life without him. I owe him my life. Thank you. I'm really glad I didn't die before I met you.
kevin mcmahon the one at the end with the hearts. i still have that purple scarf. i lived in nyc and there was a casting call on craigslist for people in love...i found out that the director was john cameron mitchell from hedwig and the angry inch which i loved and jumped right on that! it was fun. i think i remember eating pizza.
This song holds such personal meaning to me. the first time I heard it was a few months after my dad's death with my mom by my side, and when I saw her break down in tears, I couldn't control myself from becoming a sobbing mess. this means so much to me because my mom talks about how it describes them when they first met, two kids in college trying to make ends meet, constantly struggling battle after battle but their love kept them together. i miss you so much, dad. love you forever.
This song was once a song full of hope and dreams for me, but is now a reminder of losing my first love. *edit* Hi, this comment is pretty old. I just want you to all know that I’ve moved forward and growing... I hope you all are too. 💕 Every person deserves to feel peace and happiness in their life. You are all amazing and deserve the world.
The reason why i cry at this song so much is because i get the lyrics i get them so much and i understand them and that one special person comes up to my mind and all the great memories we had together this song will always be my favorite
For an entire year, I've been going after this girl. I asked her out, she agreed, but many things happened that got in between us. But we recently just went out on a date and it went pretty well. But at the end of the school year, she realized that she actually likes another guy. I then texted her, and her excuse was that she wasnt attached to either of us, or "we're still young" or that she won't be able to handle a long distance relationship. On that day, I was supposed to tell her that I loved her but sometimes in life, things just don't go your way. I've been depressed for many days now but after listening to this song, I was finally able to let out my emotions and not have them compressed inside of me.
keep your head up!!! one of my best friends hooked me up with this girl she liked soccer I love soccer!!! we had so much in common I finally went out with get and it went terrible I was sad for a couple of days. probably a month or two... I still think about her but I'm not hurt or sad or anything honestly. my message to you is life goes on with or without you so just live life. get up and try again try to find your soul mate sign around with a couple of girls Fuck it! live life brother.
Jessi Jones Maybe it's because the singer sang it as if it came really from his heart rather than the thought of his song becoming mainstream. Actually, I even felt that his voice was kinda brittle and was about to cry.
I, too, just cried. I'd have liked to think that all the pain of the end of my 6+ year failed relationship was gone, but watching this has tears flowing down my face. The lady with the picture in her hands got to me the most, instantly inciting tears. That's how it feels, like your person has died and can no longer be experienced as they were except in photographs and your memories. All in due time, I'll be completely healed, I hope. It's been nearly two years since it ended and now I've found someone even more wonderful. TMI.
The guy who sits alone and smiles at the beginning and the guy sitting by himself on the part "I'm glad I didn't die before I met you" put tears in my eyes equal to when my grandmother died leaving my grandfather alone.
(+Me Keely) I don't know your story, and I know that internet is not real enough but : keep believing, somewhere somebody waits for you. Maybe he wasn't the good one. Anyway, you seems to be a good person, don't blame yourself too hard. ;)
I know how you feel... My boyfriend dumped me on Valentines Day. We've been together for 2 years and he just stopped it.... Things get better, I promise.
Matt..isn't that the dude at 1.49, who played the character in Patrick Swayze's film GHOST, who screamed out..."GET OFF MY TRAIN!!!!".......now that character i DID relate to.
+James Noble No man you can't think like that. If the girl cheated she wasn't who you thought she was and she can't be as amazing as you think. There's plenty of loyal girls out there so don't stay hung up on the bad ones. I know this because i'm in the same situation as you right now
You guys... I mean, c'mon. Just admit those women were skanks who were fun for a little while, but don't lose any sleep over them. Build a bridge and get over them. Listen to some Tom Leykis replays here and pee standing up like a man. §;^).
I'm actually using this song as an inspiration for my book. And it's sort of based on the song xD I'm still working on the chapters, so it's unpublished. :) I can send you the link to the book preview, kind of cx
This video is better than this amazing song. It shows real love. It does not matter whether you are young or old, does not matter if you love the person of the same sex or opposite sex. And this is incredible. After all, everyone is entitled to love and be loved. So love and be loved. Have a nice day everyone!
This song makes me cry every time :') I'm glad I didn't die before I met you... I've been with my boyfriend since I was 12 and we are going off to college together in a month(: I've never been so happy, and true love really does exist..
that's a lovely story. good luck in your future hun..😊 💕..... this was my wedding song to my childhood sweetheart. we met up again 10 yrs later. been together 11year now 💞
i´m so happy sitting in my room and i listening this song.. just beautiful i wish you all a happy 2014 and a good new first day of your life. you guys make this world better just when you hear this song! =D
ITS MY WEDDING ANNIVERSARY TODAY YAY!! this song means so much right now its been 14 long happy years three babies and a life time of wonderful memories hes my best friend and i would be lost without him =)
I love how they incorporated different couples, and different types of people into the video. It shows different forms of love, and the music sums it all up. Beautiful
when I first saw your comment I was like 2005 wasn't too long ago and then I realized just how many years that's been. makes me sad. too many memories, both good and bad. time flies.
I haven't been able to stop listening to this song today. This was one of our favorite songs when we got together 9 years ago. Suddenly everything has changed. This is the first day of my adult life without you.
This is just one of the videos I watch everyday, This raw love, whether permanent or temporary, or even the lack of love. It's just emotion in I way I've never quite seen before
im not really the type of guy to listen to this kind of music, i usually stick to rap gengres but i stumbled across this song on a commercial and i had to search it up. this song has gained so much significance in my life and i absolutely love it, it has opened me to a new type of music and has given me an open mind overall and not to sound cliché, but has made me a better person, so thanks bright eyes.
I have been knowing this song for 7 years thanks to a wonderful cover and I had never listened to the original song until now. I am probably more emotionally attached to the cover but the song is so peaceful and simple that I will probably now listen to both versions. And smile remembering good old times.
I heard this song after I stepped out of a toxic relationship and met the love of my life. I started loving myself more than ever. Truly a second chance in life and I feel like it's my first day everyday knowing I can be better than who I was yesterday. The right person will help you realize that ❤️
I remember being 16, breaking up with my first boyfriend and writing down in my diary "the problem is that I'll never forget what First Day Of My Life reminds me of, or the feeling that it stirs inside me." in a fit of heartbreak and sadness. In the meantime I forgot almost everything about that abusive, manipulative piece of shit, and gave this song the first listen in many, many years. I've forgotten the feeling and I don't think I could be happier about it. Good riddance, you bastard. On to happier days.
I'm writing an essay on this song and relating it to Mary Chase's Harvey. I've listened to this song at least 40 times now, and I don't think I'll get sick of it anytime soon.
My girlfriend went missing tonight.. I've tried to keep myself composed and hopeful and I had only cried a little... After talking to the police, I opened your phone to try and find a hint of where you might be, and saw your background "this is the first day of my life; glad I didn't die before I met you".. So of course I had to watch this video.. I can't stop bawling now. Please mara, be safe, come home.. I just want to see your smile..
Sorry I've been lazy, but yes she made it back. Just shady personal stuff happened but at the time it was really scary since she had a known stalker. She came home the next day at 4 pm, just glad she was safe.
When my wife was in labor with my first born this song played on Pandora playlist. Maybe 20ish minutes later my son arrived in this world. When I hear this song it puts me back in that hospital room. Gives me the tingles when I hear it
I don't think Bright Eyes had any clue what a transcendent piece of art they actually made. They were trying to make a generic love song and instead made one of the best anthems for life by complete accident.
Someone who loved me very much, my real life fairy tale, sent this song to me when we were starting to get to know each other and I knew I loved him then and I wanted to love him forever and a day. I could see us getting married, I could see us having this song as our wedding song. I could see us relishing each other's company as though each day was really the first of each of our lives. Ours was always a long shot, and for that beautiful time in my life, I believed in long shots. As the love of my life continues his life with someone else, I can only but look back and smile, with tears brimming in my eyes, at the love I have had, the love I have lost. But the same love that I had for him, is the love that spurs me on to want to wish him only the best in life and joy that transcends all understanding. Be well my love, be happy. Tom Hiddleston came second to you my love, always. I wish you enough. xx
i just found this the day that finally happened, after two years of memories, she's here now with me, we're together again, we're meant to be together...
