“i only wonna know a couple things about you, Where were you when i was in so much trouble with myself!?” that single line hits me emotionally and physically every time
She left when I was down, when I was in crisis, I didn’t mean shit to her, but hey you know what? I’m still here still out their grinding living life when I could of chose to give up, life goes on ✌🏿
❤ This song came out in 1987, a solid 5 years before grunge was even a dream in the eyes of America. A classic punk song, and my favorite Descendants song of many.
What's your point about it coming out 5 years before grunge? It came out a year or so before Vanilla Ice too. So what. Are you trying to say it was grunge before grunge? I hope not cuz it has absolutely ZERO resemblance to grunge. PS: Green River, the Melvins, and Soundgarden - all titans of grunge - had already released music by the time this record came out. Also...this album came out in 1985.
Hahaha u stole this from me like ten years ago and that's awesome. But it was my roommate who caught me all sweaty, and it was because I was playing the drums on my desk for IDWTGU. Very cool to see this comment. You reminded me of a very funny memory. - Johnny
Ah yes. Descendants still make me pogo around my living room even though I’m fourty and my kids are watching Sesame Street next to me. I’m still a silly girl at fourty. Thanks guys
I fell asleep and this song came on this one time and had the most heartfelt dream I ever had. I'm not kidding, it brought out what I wanted deep inside my head, when I woke up I was actually sad because it was only a dream.
Still listening almost 50, remember skateboarding every where and the bands and those times where more amazing now then I could have ever thought then!... they where so many great bands! And these guys!! Yea dont need to say much more. Now I make more memories listening to all those great bands..it never gets old!
Been a long time since they've have to settle for 8 and 16 track analogue tape machines. But they are much better engineers now. I miss part of it too and not just with these guys. So much of the other stuff is sounding either bad or homogeneous. Records don't have the character they once did. The room sounds, the bleed, the mistakes even. The funk. Ironic that this is what's going on in the midst of a vinyl revival.
"I know a place, up in the air It's not very far, I've been there before I know a place, cool and warm Cool in my blood, and warm in my heart So come on down and walk with me, and tell me I'm your man I only want to know a couple of things about you Where were you when I was in so much trouble with myself And do you still believe in me like I believe I've been thinking good good things about you Cool and warm, good good things about you If you've been thinking good good things about me So cool and warm when you put your arms around me All On my own, I know where to go Living the lie, in your eyes I know a place, cool and warm Cool in my blood, warm in my heart So come on down and walk with me, and tell me I'm your man Let's see if I can get it right with you this time around I'm not afraid of losing you, my little girl But do you still believe in me like I believe I`ve been thinking good good things about you cool and warm, good good things about you If you've been thinking good good things about me So cool and warm when you put your arms around me"
I got these old dudes to play this live finally after like 20+ years in Orlando a few years back. They now play it on the regular. Youre welcome. Still dedicated to you Jessica of course.
This is what my first boyfriend and I decided was "our song". Iconic. I'm a senior in high school now and legit repressed this so deep, but I was looking at my most played songs on spotify and this showed up and everything came back.
That’s why I never wanna share music that I love with a girl ever again , every time I listen to an artist that I love but showed her it makes me upset
My boyfriend has gotten me into the Descendants and other punk rock bands over this year.. I'm gonna deem this song as one of ours... it's so good! Probably my favorite of theirs ❤
This song reminds me of this guy I used to have a huge crush on. I always had eyes on him but I went for someone else. He gave me feelings like no other. Wish I was with him vs the last guy
I have heard this song over 5 thousand times if not more skater punk fuck up from the 80's still the best best best best you will ever hear, never stop questing ALL
I hear ya man. Sorry that happened. I started talking to this girl the other night and she seemed really cool. Haven't really met any cool girls in like a year, so I'm excited and was singing this song in my head all morning in my golf class.
Lyrics: I know a place up in the air It's not very far, I've been there before I know a place, cool and warm Cooling my blood, warming my heart So come on down and walk with me, and tell me I'm your man I only want to know a couple of things about you Where were you when I was in so much trouble with myself And do you still believe in me like I believe? I've been thinking good-good things about you Cool and warm, good-good things about you If you've been thinking good-good things about me So cool and warm when you put your arms around me On my own, I know where to go Living the lie, in your eyes I know a place, cool and warm Cooling my blood, warming my heart So come on down and walk with me, and tell me I'm your man Let's see if I can get it right with you this time around I'm not afraid of losing you my little girl But do you still believe in me like I believe? I've been thinking good-good things about you Cool and warm, good-good things about you If you've been thinking good-good things about me So cool and warm when you put your arms around me
same thing for me descendents has been around my life for the past 15 yrs i can always found a song that brings me back to good or bad times in my life
My band ACW used to play music like this back in the 90s and we had great moments with friends however everything has an end! Nowadays what I can do is, to go for shows and hang around rock places...there is still a lot of good bands out there! Seems like the punk feeling in the bands died well they are getting old!? Life goes well? IN south america and another parts of the world raging for this genre! still a lot of people fighting the law and still winning! XD ahah
god i miss this! what happened to music? its this many years later and my ipod still consists of nothing but descendents, dead kennedys, operation ivy, screeching weasel, misfits etc, etc, etc.... WHY DID THIS STYLE DIE? it was so good!
Even when i was in high school these guys were obscure. I was a 92 grad. These dudes are unique really 'cause they are smart but also not preachy like so much crap today.
Bad Religion "I Want to Conquer the World" would be a good dive into some faster punk without getting too nuts. NOFX "Idiots Are Taking Over" would be another fun one. Anything by Fear would be hilarious.
It sounds like someone is patting Milo on the back while he's singing "I know a place, up in the air, it's not very far, I've been there before, Well I know a place..." He's got that Belinda Carlisle, Eddie Vedder vibrato thing going on in part of this song. Lol
