The Lawrence Arms - "Seventeener (17th and 37th)" 

No song better conveys the innate acceptance one must go through when they realize they are getting old.

I'm hoping that all the dislikes are from people that are currently still young and beautiful ... Because this song is absolutely dead on! Love these guys!

I listen to this song on my birthday every year. See you next year me!

I've loved this band forever. From Slapstick to Lawrence Arms to Alkaline Trio. Holy shit...

The "When I Come Around" part is awesome. What a great band/song/video

I don't think I've ever heard a song that made me wish I was a 40 year old man just so it would be relevant to my life because its so amazing.

Oh, to meet you guys. I've been a fan since 1998. i'm 41 now.

Finally something good back on Epitaph!

This song has such amazing texture.. But the ICP reference was why I clicked. This was a really good song and video. Keep it up guys.

Greatest Story Ever Told - all time favorite album, glad this resembles that. Can't wait for this album to drop.

My all time heroes are back!

This song hits so hard when you're over 30

Best Band ever

Best. Song. Ever.

I never wanted to die old, But it's too late now, My heart has grown so cold. And the corpse I leave behind Ain't gonna be, No pretty boy It's a sick sack of disease. We thought about Ways we'd love to go. High and beautiful, And fucking in the snow. On New Years Day or Christmas Eve, On a warm November night buried beneath the orange leaves. It's a few dreams on the ways that we could leave. My heart got kicked out of all its homes, And dying young just didn't work and so I guess I'm dying old And there ain't nowhere left to go, 'Cause all my loves would rather be alone. And yesterday I woke up to find, The black in my beard had turn to white. And the pretty girls that used to smile at me, Just stared off straight ahead or looked down at their feet. So tonight I'll sit up here With these street lights and these seventeen beers. Straight from the page of a teenage diary, Underneath these shitty stars like I was seventeen. (I mean) That my heart got kicked out of all its homes, And dying young just didn't work and so I guess I'm dying old And there ain't nowhere left to go, 'Cause all my loves would rather be alone. And there ain't nowhere left to go, 'Cause all my loves would rather be alone.

Video is predictably insane. Song is unpredictably smooth - very 'Greatest Story Ever Told' rather than 'Oh Calcutta!'. Whatever, I am excited, this will probably be a top five album of the year however it turns out.

Love the public phone scene! Green Day "When I Come Around"

I'm a stay at home dad now, just like Brendan Kelly! This song is fucking awesome and the kids love it!

This video makes me smile.

BIG BIG BIG UP FOR LARRY ARMS!!!! WELCOME BACK!! AMAZING LYRIC AND SONG!!!!

I LOVE THIS BAND AND ALL THE SONGS

I’m 37 now, so this is extra special. I should go to Pinks sometime soon in honor of this song.

Gotta love the Green Day - When I Come Around reference!

Great Video And My Favorite by The Lawrence Arms / Hope to see them live one day.

These guys deserve more views!

refreshing to hear good music released on epitaph, great song, great video!

This song gives me so much nostalgia

How old am I? I'm "Dude knocked the payphone off the receiver and now I have When I Come Around stuck in my head" years old.

i think two thousand of those views are mine. love it.

Magic. Good show lads.

so great song!so great band! love you forever

The pain this song inflicts on my soul… it’s too much.

I don't know if it's just me but I find this song incredibly sad.

these guys are just having fun doing what they love and getting paid for it love the parody on all the dif music fads

Asian man records' fb post brought me here.. Good to hear this..

such a good one guys, I love these gems. I only wish I knew about yall when this stuff was coming out.

This is good. Here because I recommended the band Pistolita to someone years younger than me. And They loved them. Wish THEY were still making music.

Wow, great! At the moment the best of this new album!

This will be the best Epitaph release of the year unless Propagandhi puts out another masterpiece in 2014

Very emotional and dark song paired with a goofy ass video gotta be my favorite punk trope.

Love this song. Love the band. As a thirtysomething who thought he was pretty awesome in his 20s, this song hits home a bit.

Raw, poppy, garage band punk. I like it.

I'm going to keep listening 🎧 next beer please 🥺 haha 😆

I love how that this band I grew up listening to, have brought out a new album that is not only awesome, they're singing about being in their 30s. Nothing sadder than being a 40 year old punk singing about being a teenager (ahem, Good Riddance).

Turning 35 soon, still got 2 good years in me

I caught myself laughing at the video and also feeling my heart break from listening. Such an emotional song, this shit will never get old.

so good!

Metropole is such a depressing album... Dont get me wrong, I enjoy it, but damn..

Great song!

Best ever

I like it.

BrenMan94 My Interpretation: The song is about growing up. Simple. The title, "17th and 37th" refer to the age Brendan was when he started Slapstick and how old he is now (at the time the record was released). Seventeener (17th And 37th)" I never wanted to die old, But it's too late now, My heart has grown so cold. And the corpse I leave behind Ain't gonna be, No pretty boy It's a sick sack of disease. We thought about Ways we'd love to go. High and beautiful, And fucking in the snow. On New Years Day or Christmas Eve, On a warm November night buried beneath the orange leaves. It's a few dreams on the ways that we could leave. My heart got kicked out of all its homes, And dying young just didn't work and so I guess I'm dying old And there ain't nowhere left to go, 'Cause all my loves would rather be alone. And yesterday I woke up to find, The black in my beard had turn to white. And the pretty girls that used to smile at me, Just stared off straight ahead or looked down at their feet. So tonight I'll sit up here With these street lights and these seventeen beers. Straight from the page of a teenage diary, Underneath these shitty stars like I was seventeen. (I mean) That my heart got kicked out of all its homes, And dying young just didn't work and so I guess I'm dying old And there ain't nowhere left to go, 'Cause all my loves would rather be alone. And there ain't nowhere left to go, 'Cause all my loves would rather be alone.

The Lawrence Arms are the best emo band disguised as a punk band.

17... Juggalos.. I peeped that. Brilliant song.

i love it!

Lawrence arms, a force for good

this songs kinda sad.. makes me wonder what it will feel like to be in my 30's still playing punk and hardcore music... jesus christ.. time flies

roto toms.. yeah baby!! Thirsty Whale would be proud.

loved the rancid impersonation in this, haha

Whoop whoop. Straight up

Fuckin A RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can not wait tll this album comes out SO STOKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Woop Woop

What a great tune. I came here because I heard the band was good. Saw a solo performance from Punk news which was unlistenable but this is sweet

not giving a fuck about Radiohead or taking myself too seriously. This is why TLA are my spirit band

17th and 37th. I get it. "That dying young didn't work so I guess I'm dying old."

this is good soft music

This band is fucking awesome!

They remind me a lot of Jawbreaker.

1:18 is the most hilarious thing ever.

Why the icp paint?

This is the greatest thing I've ever see. Hahaha

1:04 will never not make me cackle

Cocktails and dreams one of the best albums imo

im laughing so hard at this video

Pretty awesome .0.

Wtf 10 years ago what's happening??

lyrics anyone?

So, uh... yeah I'm pretty sure 1:46 awakened something in me

I love these fuckin' guys!

These lyrics...

Seen**

Are they supposed to be Rancid when they are dressed like street punks? He is even playing his guitar down at his knees like Tim Armstrong. Not sure if its a knock at them or not.

Hahaha making fun of all the big punk bands. Like an homage and satire of blink 182, Green Day and rancid. Just now caught that.

okay, so the ICP thing may have gone over my head, I concede I may not be educated enough to understand the depths of all the metaphors happening...

juggaloes whoop whoop lol

1:18

I’ve tried for over 20 years to like this band and they just never caught on with me. I’ve never heard one catchy song by them

Funny that's rancid hes making fun of and gnr in the intro w wheat in his mouth

It sounds like the Atari's from "so long Astoria" just with a different singer

can hear Leatherface

what on earth.

Ma dudes

lel insane clown posse

whoop whoop mmfwcl

Where was the girl in the band that does the singing? Why wasn't she in the video?

Last comment

2:16 🤷🏻‍♂️ 🤡 😈 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yesterday I woke up to find The black in my beard Had turned to white Man that line cuts deep...

Çlit 🤣🤣
