I remember going to their concert and he lit his piano on fire I lost my keys in the crowd and randomly found them I attribute this all to Lord Andrew MacMahon
They filmed this in Toronto in 2002 maybe? I heard they needed extras, so I showed up and spent a good number of hours there. You can make out my orange hoodie in a few crowd scenes. They gave us CD singles of Forget December, which was neat. Great memories.
I remember the boy from the trailer park in the small town next to where I lived playing this on his blue fender for me. I remember how real everything felt back then, how moments felt like forever. I wonder how that boy is doing. This song brings back so many memories.
I used to sing this so loudly whenever it came on tv and when i moved out of my parents house our neighbour asked where I'd gone because she couldn't hear me singing anymore 😂
I have to play this song every so often. It was a big favorite when I was 18, and honestly it still lives on for me. Great early 2000s pop punk anthem.
@mysticstrider I'll have to get back to you on that. I have the song list on a computer that I have to dig out. They are all good punk/pop punkish tracks from that era
Even though I was 5 when this came out, I really do miss hearing these songs on the radio. It wasn't as impacting on my life as it was to most people who were older at the time but this "sound" added liveliness to my childhood and I'm glad I can reconnect with it.
Music truly is the most bittersweet time machine we have. We are back in the past...feeling our youth pass by in mere minutes this time. Then we return to the present and those emotions hit even harder when we arrive back at our modern destination. 💗
Maybe when the room is empty, Maybe when the bottle's full. Maybe when the door gets broke down, Love can break in. Maybe when I'm done with thinking, Maybe you can think me whole. Maybe when I'm done with endings This can begin, this can begin This can begin. If you could be my punk rock princess, I would be your garage band king. You can tell me why you just don't fit in And how you're gonna be something Maybe when your hair gets darker, Maybe when your eyes get wide, Maybe when the walls are smaller There will be more space Maybe when I'm not so tired, Maybe you could step inside Maybe when I look for things that I cant replace, I cant replace I cant replace. If you could be my punk rock princess, I would be your garage band king. You could tell me why you just don't fit in, And how you're gonna be something. If I could be your first real heartache, I would do it over again. If you could be my punk rock princess, I would be your heroine. I never thought you'd last, I never dream you would. You watch your life go past, You wonder if you should. If you should be my punk rock princess, So I could be your garage band king. You could tell me why you just don't fit in, And how you're gonna be something. If I could be your first real heartache, I would do it over again. If you could be my punk rock princess, I would be your heroine. Whoa! you know! You only burn my bridges Whoa! you know! You just cant let it sink in! You could be my heroine,
Good ol' Something Corporate. They have deep emotive songs and then just more or less goofy songs like this. That's why they are awesome. I posted a response to this one of one of my more lighthearted tunes. Something Corporate are a huge influence on my stuff. They are so amazing.
I was so amazed when I found out that Andrew McMahon, the lead singer of Jack's Mannequin, was also the lead singer of Something Corporate. I've loved something Corporate and Jack's Mannequin for such a long time and finding out that the lead singer is the same person was so cool!
I remember back then thinking about how wildly attractive I found him and the whole fact that he dressed clean-cut yet had piercings and could rock out in a band. The dichotomy was just very sexy to me...and I still feel the exact same way! 😂
THЗ.3ЯD.PLACЗ I am always jamming this kind of song in my room to rock, screamo, and metal band my parents call me Cinderella plus I am always alone I don’t have friends
2022 teen here! My parents introduced me to this music but as soon as I heard it I aspired to be that punk rock girl, I'm not sure I've achieved it but I get called Emo a lot. The point is this music is iconic and I have tried to introduce more people to it but to no avail. To be honest if someone sang this to me I'd DIE
I’m not so familiar with these guys I’m just getting into them but I’ll be damned if I’m not feeling the sheer aura of excitement from longtime fans, I’ll be catching that show for sure
just discovered that song yesterday, I FIRST LISTEN TO THIS ON SPOTIFY, im part of Generation Z, I'm the only one who like this music, most of my friends and peers are listening to songs on Tik-Tok and Soundcloud, younger people.
I love this song. But at the time I was obsessed with it I had a crush on this guy and I would listen to this thinking of him. And then one day I got the nerve up to talk to him and he rejected me. Kind of ruined this song.
teen memories! Andrew looks so young in this video and most of those jumping teens in the video are probably in their 30s and already have kids! how time flies, how I miss American pie-era.
The fact that this is the same guy who sings Cecilia and The Satellite is so weird to think about. Lots of growth between then and now. I love all of it though. ^-^
haha so true. But love Andrew McMahon. I guess you can't keep the same forever and your style evolves. It's funny because I became a Jack's Mannequin fan when they first started in 2005 or so and then backtracked and listened to the Something Corporate stuff which reminds me of my teenage days and then now his solo stuff. All amazing though.
Buena banda sus vídeos lo pasaban en MTV Latinoamérica y en la radio doble 9 de Lima Perú con mis amigos escuchábamos en nuestra adolescencia, actualmente tengo 35 años y las sigo escuchando y a mis hijos les gusta sus canciones.
Who cares if it's alternative? Imagine how bad it would sound if he was saying "You could be Alt-Rock Princess!" Actually...The sounds kinda the same... BUT THE P'S MUST MATCH!!
The lyrics makes sense since it goes "If *you* could be my **punk rock** Princes, *I'd* be your **garage band** King. Implying that the singer is not a punk rocker. Mind = blown right?
