6 years ago I tried to take my own life. I was only 23 at the time, but I was doing a chef apprenticeship and was disillusioned because I had realized I made too many mistakes in my life to turn things around. Fast forward 6 years, I’d finished that apprenticeship but left the chef life behind, along with the alcoholism and daily self-inflicted injuries like casually slicing my fingers and rubbing salt in them just to keep myself awake. I can’t say I’m doing any better now, since all my friends are getting married and moving on with their lives, and for me, I’ve barely made it this far. But someday, I hope I can find out how it feels to be loved, and to be proud of myself. Not today, but someday. And if I can do it, you sure as heck can too.
Just read this, very proud of you. Never be ashamed of your scars and please don't compare yourself to your friends. I'm glad you made it this far. Here's to the future!
We can do this brother🙏 my twins heading to rehab tomorrow after 10 years of drinking vodka n self harm.. Will take time but the journey is your own my friend good luck🍀
i'm your age and my story is super similar. been suicidal since i was a teen. it hasnt gotten better. lol i'm not giving up though. i'm also making a career path change. i'm switching from trying to be an elementary school teacher to trying to get a business related job. i hope we both make it til we are happier. love you.
This song came out when I was in college crushing on this guy friend. There was always sun sun sun. Now we're 10 years married and expecting our 5th baby! I always hum this when we're taking all our babies to the zoo and there's love in the bodies of the elephants too. So glad I still knew him in 5 years time and hopefully in 50 also.
I like this song because not only does it make you reminisce about the past it also makes you ponder and wonder what lies ahead in this interesting and unpredictable journey called life.
When I was in my first relationship, this song always felt like it was about my girlfriend. I knew we might not last forever, we might go our separate ways, but whatever happened she'd bring joy wherever she went. 5 years later, I no longer know her, we no longer talk, and it all rings true as ever :)
I only discovered this song the other day when my dad showed it to me. It made me feel nostalgic somehow, felt like the exact kind of music I'd listen to when I was 10 and only discovered new songs through soundcloud. The trouble started five years ago at the beginning of the pandemic. I had just turned thirteen and it was the first big fight me and my group of best friends ever had. We've known each other for three years at the least, over a decade at the most depending on who and who. Then I was ousted from our group and had to find new friends elsewhere. Ended up falling in love and having my heart broken twice over and going through major psychosis and delusion. We eventually reconnected after a year or two after, a few months before restrictions lightened up and we were able to hangout in person again. We were 14 or 15 then. We did a lot of cool teen stuff we always wanted to do- Bought skateboards, went ice skating at 'our' mall, saw movies in theaters, started playing D&D. I thought I had gotten wiser and more mature, realized to take more care in how we treat each other. But it seems like we didn't, not really. We ended up in another big fight again almost a year ago. Right before my 17th birthday. It always seems to happen around my birthday. There had been a noticeable distance between all of us and our group chat was dead most of the time. Me and my longest-running best friend managed to get into a call together once and we commiserated about the radio silence. Eventually leading us into the days-long text conversation that ended the friend group. We promised to stick by each other no matter what, that we were each other's BFF. But now it's been over two months since we've had proper, consistent conversation. She's ghosted me this entire time. I've talked to her mom more than her. And it blows. We were planning on going to a music show together. And conventions. And do so much. I wish I had the wisdom of this song back then five years ago. It would have helped me so much. Make it a lot easier to know. In five years time, I might not know you. In five years time, we might not speak. In five years time, we might not get along. It was the end of the h gang. The door for everyone else has closed, but hopefully in five years time she might just prove me wrong.
Funny thing is that it's winter, it's snowing outside but this song makes me feel like it's hot summer day, when there's nothing to worry about. Awesome, Noah and the Whale!
It has been almost 10 years. There's sun, not much of fun, and where's love? I am giving myself another 5 years. There will be sun, fun and love in my life.
A boy that I thought I loved sent me this video when I was 16. when I watched it again in my early twenties I thought wow 5 years really has passed fast. listening to it again at 30, 5 years over, it just hits different. If you are reading this, my advice to you is to embrace aging because time only speeds up, enjoy every moment, don't live in the past, embrace the present!
That moment when you listen to this song 5 years after you first heard it. When I first heard this song I was hungover, and laying on a trampoline while looking at the summer sky.
My boyfriend and I recently split up and up due to the fact the we simply met each other at the wrong time in our lives. He wrote me a letter and in it he said that this will always him of me... I already liked this song but now I will like it even more. Not just the tune but the lyrics also speak so loudly! JH - I Love you and wish you every success in life and sincerely hope that one day you will have the success that you so deserve. RJC xx
a_decent_name_on_insta - I dont overly care for your opininon but i do thank you for the compliment that you pay in taking the time and effort to reply. do you mind me asking who you are referring to as "she" ??
"even though many of these moments are just in my head, i'll still be thinkin about them as i'm lyin in bed." that has to be the best line in any song ever
I've listened to this song for years, but never actually watched the music video until now. Oh my goodness, haha it reminds me of Wes Anderson (and Moonrise Kingdom with those yellow outfits, which is weird because MK came out in 2012) baha. That was great. Charming.
Accidentally bumped on this song today. And guess what, it is about 5 years time since I first heard this song in my dorm room. I used to wonder if I will ever make it out of university alive and make something out of my useless ass. Too much stress and pressure. And, Yes I did. Memories flood in, bad and good. After all, life is beautiful after all. Never give up.
What makes this song so great is that it ISN'T edited. Why should people have to change what they sound like, just because everyone else does it? I think the decision to not use auto-tune is a fresh relief from everything else we're surrounded with. This is real people, singing with their real voices, and I'M LOVING IT.
I know right? Besides the quarentine... But I hope in 5 years time we are going to be able to go out and have some sun sun sun... And fun fun fun with the ones we love
I just heard this for the first time a few days ago and yesterday was the fifth anniversary of the day love and I met, so I had to play this for him yesterday morning when he woke up. He asked me to play it again for him this morning. "In five years time you might just prove me wrong." It's just perfect.
Found this song funny, how my girlfriend and I were just sitting listening to songs, talking about how we had been together for 5 years on April the 4th. This song came on, and we actually laughed at how I used to steal wine from my parents wine cabinet, and we'd sit in the park drinking and smoking cigarettes. Because that was what we needed to have a good time. ^_^
@@justinl909 Aha, no. She went to Uni, I joined the Navy. Different life paths, that must have been about a year after I made this comment. We used to still speak until about 2-3 years ago. Thanks for the reminder though. Simpler times.
@@legslou2 you must have had some great memories together. I was with my girlfriend for about 5 years from 2012-2017 I was 22 in 2012. wen I met her. I thought we were gonna be together forever. 🥺 So that’s why i had ask if you guys were together still.
I honestly can't believe this song is 5 years old. They should have sung. In 5 years time, we could be famous on RU-vid, with comments listing praise for me and you.
awesome! I love playing this on my ukulele! It's such an easy song to play and any one who is starting or just likes this song should check it out! It is just C, F, G, F repeated the whole song! The strumming pattern is: Down Up Hit Up That is it! Happy Ukuleleing!
Damn, all my friends are getting married, having kids, or have well paying jobs. Meanwhile I feel left behind, and it's a hollow comfort knowing I'm not the only one. If you're struggling too, just know that i feel ya, and I hope you make it.
For me it also includes these four songs by she & him: "in the sun," "not a test," "sing," and "I thought I saw your face today There's like a 10% chance you might love one!
I remember when released in 2008 was 4 months after I passed my driving test. Kept hearing it on Virgin Radio before rebranded to Absolute Radio whilst driving and still hold great memories
This used to be "our song." We met 5 years ago. "In five years time I might not know you In five years time we might not speak In five years time we might not get along"
14 years ago eh? Funny how life can bring you back to the old songs you listened too, and the memories attached to those songs. Still such a charming song. I remember finding this through a Homestuck JohnDave playlist ahaha!
“In five years time I might not know you In five years time we might not speak And in five years time we might not get along And in five years time you might just prove me wrong.”
their last album was not as good as this one, but there is no doubt these guys are amazing. wish they would get more air play in the states. such talent
Just ended a 10 year trauma bond, excited to see my healing in 5 years time after only comparing trauma bonds to this song. Its true i prioritize my bodily autonomy ❤
Its so sad how Laura and Charlie broke up :( "In five years time I might not know you In five years time we might not speak In five years time we might not get along In five years time you might just prove me wrong" I guess she didnt prove you wrong, Charlie...
