Im 26 now but I feel like im still 19. Im stuck in the summer of 2013, chasing girls and getting fucking wasted. This mixtape sends me there, I can see the faces of so many people I thought would be with me forever....I love and miss them so much. I miss that time. I miss that part of me that died with time. Now I just sit in my room getting high, closing my eyes and remembering what made me who I am. It feels like time forgot about me. Love without remorse, and never stop loving the things and people that make you happy.
The summer of ‘13 man that was the shit. I met my first and only love back then. I was 18 and I didn’t even realize I fell head over heels for this girl too bad it didn’t work out and it completely ruined me as a person 😅
@@mattm9689 I can relate to that so hard, man. I graduated in 13 and turned 18 that summer and found my first love. I didn't even know I loved him until he left and I physically hurt in my chest. Someone had to suggest that I loved him, but the one I had from late 2016 to late 2019 was the one that ruined me (recent 🤕). Rough shit, my man, but we're making it. Kind of, anyway.
"I eat cigarettes for dinner and think girls in the service & retail industry are flirting with me when it's literally just their job to be nice to me" the playlist
@@Zzz00111 Same could be said about States like Pensilvania, or simmilar rust belt / northwestern States (exclueding NY and other large cities)/ even if the surroundings and landscapes are different it still has that special athmosphere that you dont get in the southern US or the westcoast.
Wife just left me... two kids. All my friends are dead or too drunk to come back. Ive never felt this alone in my life. Please don’t take your time with friends and loved ones for granted... they love you and care about you... I wish I didn’t take love for granted...
If you’re going through a tough time in life. Just remember, there are people going through tough times AND living in the Midwest. Things could be worse.
Warm like memories of summer in the ice of winter. The recognition that time past is time lost. Only to be remembered as that same summer, a smile, a sunset, and warmth.
I’ve never been to the Midwest but feel every bit of this comment. I’m here in London but I see and feel everything you’re saying. This music is indeed warm and cold at the same time.
jesus christ college is weird. weird and hurtful. my ex told me she only got with me just to stop being lonely. and i did nothing for her. fuck it hurts. but beyond the hurt and difficulty of college, things are ok i guess. i got on tinder not too long ago, and met someone who i'm really into. she's into the same music, has the same mindset, and i feel like we could just talk for a while. if ur on this mixtape, chances are it's pretty obvious who i am. ur rad as shit, and cute as hell too. anyway enjoy the music, guys. sorry for being gone for so long.
i used to listen to this mixtape during my english classes when the teacher would let us listen to music while we worked, seeing that it got taken down sucks but im glad it’s back up for another wave of people to fall in love with midwest emo
Oh, I didn't know it got taken down. Makes sense why it wasn't in any of my playlists then, though it's a miracle I remembered this existed and that it's back up for me to listen to
I left the midwest almost 4 years ago. Why do I want to go back? I miss walking to school early morning. crunchy leaves on the ground, dewy grass, fresh air, and fog so thick sometimes you could barely see 10 feet in front of you. I wanted to leave so bad, but now I want nothing more than to go back.

This one brought me into the midwest emo genre. This special vibe that comes with this mixtape got me through so many days. Everytime I was feeling down I listened to this, it kinda made me more comfortable, because I didn't feel so alone. Especially when I had feelings for this girl and didn't manage to get closer to her, mixtapes like this one always gave me the feeling that someone understands me. The amount of memories this mixtapes delivers is just incredible.
i remember one day this gem popped up in my recommended. i was interested enough and clicked it. i fell in love immediately with the first song. cinco de mayo shitshow about a year later still gives me chills.
Life is weird and then you die. I'm not really opposed to that though. It's almost comforting. Knowing it's all a mess for everyone and deep down we all have more problems than anyone will ever know. It's a good reminder that were all in the same boat, we all got problems, and we all want to be happy. Just knowing that there are other people out there struggling with me... Makes me wanna keep struggling for at least a bit longer.... And sometimes we just need that.... an excuse to keep struggling...
also, don't forget to do the things that you want to experience in life as long as we can. We don't know what will happen if we die, but one thing for sure is that we must cherish every moment that we have, enjoy all the things and always move forward for the better days.
@Brass Heel yes, I can actually feel how you said those words. As of now, I'm trying to enjoy things even though that I am suffering from overworking and being fed up on life. Although I admit that I didnt think about other's situation, Im sorry about that, but what I'm trying to say is that everything will be alright, we still clinging to that hope for us to get there. Even though that we are suffering, there are times that we experienced happiness. Life is a cycle where we suffer everyday but everyday there are things that we are looking forward to. That thing makes us happy, excited and enjoying or feeling something that we try to strive for something like things and etc... because we know that there will be a day where we will achieve our freedom.
@Brass Heel its fine, there are things that we can't expect other people to understand on what we are saying but I guess we've learned about it and others will be able to understand that and I understand you, and also at least we got to talk with each other and shared something with each other, i appreciate these kind of things, cause I know that I'm still learning and will probably in the most part. I learned something valuable in life. I guess it broadened my horizon. Thank you very much for your understanding haha. wish to talk with you if ever it will happen again haha.
@Brass Heel hopefully, but in reality I guess it is impossible for I live in the other part of the world and the same for you but still I hope in the near future that we will meet personally. Its the same for me, I learned a lot. But that ideals are far from the reality, it will never happen but if ever it would happen then world wil be in peace and I guess it will destroys the balance of the world. I think good and evil are the one who balance the world. I agree with you that being able to forgive and accept forgiveness is the key to be able to understand more about. Yes, I will remember that advice of yours.
Man, I love that picture. I know it's just an occasional thing to have such a pretty bunch of clouds in such a pretty evening and happen to have a good camera, but wow, some parts of the US offer such simple but beautiful scenes, and this is coming from a guy used to live in the middle of the jungle, surrounded by colorful flora and fauna.
i felt the same way when i visited canada for the first time after living on a small tropical island my whole life. from the huge skyscrapers to the modest suburbs, the scenery was a very different type of beautiful than i was used to. even the sky and clouds had a whole different vibe to them... it's hard to explain.
I've been sober for a month and im working towards getting a place so you and the baby can move out of your moms and in with me. "ITS TOO LATE" she says, I reply with "im sorry, im changing to be the man you deserve. I love you so much; i need my family" and her response is "I want someone else" which is a knife to my heart. I'm still changing though, I've come too far to go back... just please don't give up on me and our family
Year and a half here. Life gets insanely better after you quit and stick with it. In a few months you’ll barely ever even think about it anymore. Good luck.
there was a mixtape called "cheer up sport" it played on repeat during my hardest times but got taken down for copywrite. would absolutly kill to hear it again.
Hey guys!! Thanks for all the likes and kind comments. I’m glad I was able to re-upload this mixtape and that you all could enjoy it as well :)) I’m always looking for the other mixtapes from the original channel so if you come across them or any others you really like, please send them my way and maybe I can re-upload them here to try and get them collectively together If you would like to support me and/or want to send me any donations, you can do so through either Zelle or CashApp at allthesegrayskies@gmail.com. Any & all donations are appreciated and go towards my living expenses :)
This playlist bring out so many emotions.... The feeling when she told me I was what she was looking for in a guy but didnt think she deserved me... that feeling of emptiness after a one night stand... but also the feeling of deep friendship, a sense of belonging almost. Maybe not even belonging to anyone, but the world. We are ALL in this together, all struggling, through good and bad times, but recently mostly bad. But I have faith in us, and the world. Have hope friends :)
The warmth of sitting in a car and driving late into the night, til sunrise, just you and a friend enjoying each other’s company. It’s a special feeling. Bittersweet memories.
"Midwest emo" its strange but it just makes sense. I know exactly why its the midwest thats being represented here but i couldnt put it into words. The background. Some old buildings, the cloudy skies during the sunrise or sunset, and the incredibly ordinary vibe of mundane life. Never been a fan of the word "emo" from all the misusage of it but in the true meaning of the word I'd say this is accurate.
I love you even though you never cared for me at all. If only you knew what id do so see you smile again like you used too. I keep remembering that day we shared our headphones and listened too music in the back of class instead of watching a movie. That made me so happy, thank you for everything.
this is the playlist that got me into midwest emo, when quarantine started i remember sitting on my bed and trying not to fall asleep as this blared from my cheap laptop
This mixtape was my gateway drug into midwest emo. I liked the more mall emo side of things but this one forever changed my music taste and introduced me to so many new bands. cheers mate
I listen to this mixtape back in 2018 right around the time I broke up with my then gf. Thank you for reuploading it man. Takes me fooking back, The past is important because there are golden bits of yourself you need to move forward. To everyone here peace,love and onward. God bless
@@pugiguess6548 Well my comment here is from 2 months ago, so it probably got taken down anywhere from 2-4 months ago from today couldn't tell ya the exact date but I can tell you this video here is a 1 for 1 reupload of the original. Same tracklist, same order, even the same background image
Goodness gracious. I'm in the kitchen eating my dinner while my gf is sleeping in our bedroom and this comes up in my recommended and the idea of her not in my life immediately entered my mind. I just went to the room to confess my love for her all over again.
The last thing I downloaded for my vacation right before the pandemic began, a personal bookmark when times were simpler. Thank you for re-uploading. "Why do things always have to change/ Be better off if things just stayed the same"..
I'll always love you. I'll always be ready if you come back.. but you'll never be who I fell in love with anymore. Those were some of the best years and the memories fade too fast. To go back for one last day when things were like we always dreamed... Maybe in a dream someday..
Sometimes I feel as though my life is a comedy. There was a girl I was hanging out with for a while who i really liked. She mentioned that she loved midwest emo so I recomended this playlist to her saying it was my favorite. I even read the title aloud as though it carried all the emotion I felt. That was the last night I saw her. Soon she'll forget i exist............. .............how ironic. i hope she's ok tho
Im actually in a good relationship with the girl I like, but this playlist makes me remind of all the shitty things that came before, and I just feel afraid of being weak when it happens again Thanks for the playlist, I liked it a lot
Where has this tape been my entire life - oh my god. I know some of these songs and everything too and they flow together so well and some of em are a couple of my straight favorites and aaa it just wARMS my soul ;u;
RU-vid recommendations keep getting better and better. Neither a midwestern nor an emo but I love this. Also its quite amazing that the photographer managed to capture a picture of these beautiful clouds . I've seen them a lot, rising up over mountains after rain. But they dissipate quite quickly and having a shitty phone camera zoom doesn't help
I like singing to the first song so I got the lyrics. Just ignore this comment. [Intro] Lately, it's been getting late but I'm not tired And no thanks to Sleepless nights spent burning with desire So I'll get in my car [Verse] We drove to the shoreline with the check engine light on We slept in a spare room, sparing no thoughts for our friends And we're all going straight to hell for all the lies we tell ourselves [Verse] Last night Last night, I wanted to leave all my friends out Desperate chance dragged me out of the sand But chance's a certain way of getting stuck On one small desperate action robbed me of all my good luck Why did I think I could make it better now? Why did I think I could keep my feet on the ground? [Bridge] If I wake up and accidentally crawl into your arms It's nothing personal, personhood has always seemed so strange Why do things always have to go and change? Be better off if things just stayed the same If I freak out and crash my fucking car into your house Of course it's personal, personhood has made me feel this way Why do things always have to go and change? Be better off if things just stayed the same [Outro] I'm getting too old for this shit I'm throwing fits and acting like a kid again
This is the best mix that I never knew I needed to hear. I was listening to it today while I was out in the heat (I live in the Mojave Desert) cutting up and stacking wood by myself. It was a great soundtrack for that moment, and something that you can just get lost in. It reminds me of the emo days of my teenage years haha.
ok but for the first time in my life i actually feel proud to be born and raised in the midwest. why don't i ever hear about videos shouting out us corn growing fellows? i need more of this showing up in my recs plz and thank.
Just want to give some credit to bebriden's comment about looking out from early morning school bus rides, looking out of the windows, watching the houses go by. Having grown up in Singapore, I never really experienced a whole of lot of bus rides. In fact, I hated it so much my parents drove me to school for the most part. But life changed for me when I moved to the States in 2014. Having lived there for a good 2 years, I finally got to experience those bus rides. I spent quite a lot of time at the back of the bus, just staring out of the window with my music blasting away wishing I were back in Singapore with friends. Little did I know, would I miss these moments years to come, the simpler times. I didn't have any close friends back then, just a couple of fake smiles and lies. But, I still look back upon those times, with the feeling of melancholy. A bittersweet moment left imprinted upon a lonely soul. Now having returned to Singapore, I'm basically treated like an outsider because I spoke different. It resulted bad things upon bad things piling upon each other, and eventually breaking the camel's back. And with my only friend I could call brother, basically disappearing from my life was the final straw for me before I slipped into depression, anxiety and suicidal tendencies. With my remaining friend gone, my life slowly fell to pieces. I dropped out of school, missing out on crucial education. Retreating back to my room and computer, as it was all I felt I had. Many long nights would pass into the rear view mirror as I slept into the morn and only awoke at night. I had glimmers of hope along the way but they were snuffed out not before long. Now turning 21, I believe I look forward to another passing year bound to fade from memory. But there's a bit of good news; having come across this mix, I felt as if the songs helped scream some of my pains away. Dear strangers here, I wish none of these things would ever happen to you, that you'll never experience it.
The original was literally one of my favorite videos on RU-vid and I was so upset it got taken down. I'm happy its back tho, and it always hits hard when it starts with Marietta.
How many people will come here for the fact of having lived an incredible life without realizing it, and then losing everything, that lesson in humility that makes you who you are, maybe someone incredible or worthwhile, but tormenting you for what already is not here .. and he will not return .. Whoever you are, if you are here for something similar, I want you to know that things will go well, not even me at 23 years old I am sure of it .. but be patient and value your life, it will make you be better.
been doing animation for over half of my life, and it's been really fun. im doing what i love, and im probably at the height of my happiness in this very moment. im turning 24 this year, and i never would've guessed that this life i chose would be so isolating and lonely.
I think maybe all of us are just here so we can get to know people and be their friends just to realize, “hey, maybe I should start regretting this now”. And you start to regret being friends with these people, because you’re never happy with them anymore and they’re really negative people. And you get in fights, and you think about just telling them that you’re leaving them forever. But you really can’t, you could never let them go, because then you’d be letting them down. How are you going to say goodbye to five people you’ve been best friends with for the past year or so? You can’t. You’ll miss them too much. I mean all friendships have ups and downs, right? This is just a time when things aren’t alright but they’ll be good soon right? I don’t know man. This stuff helps though. Music helps with stress. Thanks for this it helps (Edit: I left that friend group along with another person in said group. That was like a week ago. I'm sorry if this just sounded like a stupid "edgy" middle schooler venting to a RU-vid comments section. I swear I wasn't trying to be that wannabe emo type, I just wanted to vent)
