Vitamin C - Graduation (Friends Forever) [Official Music Video] 

Congratulations to the graduating Class of 2024! 🎓🎉

I’m 35 now … Prayers for most of us in these comments .. it seems like the song hits harder when your not where you hoped you’d be ….. we all are still trying to figure it out in some way or another . Prayers to everyone ❤ Class of 2007

Fun Fact: Vitamin C became the VP of Music for Nickelodeon in 2012 and now she is a Music Executive for Netflix. So it’s good to see that she achieved some great things even out of the prime spotlight and has had an illustrious and diverse music career. Anyway this is the anthem song for graduations everywhere! Such a great song.

Graduated 25 years ago, Class of 1999 -- the year that this song was released. It was a special time to be leaving my youth behind and entering into an entirely new century. I grew up during the tail end of the analog era and witnessed the birth of the digital era. I wish all of you who weren't born yet could have experienced the world then, but I wish the Class of 2024 and all future graduating classes a wonderful future. To quote Back to the Future Part III, which came out in 1990, "Your future is whatever you make it, so make it a good one."

Best graduation song ever in history period

Left school in 83. Lost some bloody good friends. Not many of us left now. Make the most of every day. Life can be very cruel. Brilliant song Brilliant memories 😊

This song hits different when you move away from your hometown after graduation and are now in your mid 30s.

The late 1990s and early 2000s were truly a great time.

Class of 2001!!! This was played at our prom. Alot of people were teary eyed.

I’m now 38 years old with 3 kids. This song was played June 8, 2000 when I graduated from 8th grade @ vanguard learning center in Compton, California. RIP to all the fallen ones along the way and bless the ones still here with us!

We're not searching for old songs;We're searching for old memories.. 😔❤

Its crazy that this song is over 20 years old now. It feels surreal. Those of us who heard this song during our graduation when it came out, are now hearing it in our own children's graduation

I can’t even make it through a minute without bawling. These things get more bittersweet the older you get. 😢

Makes me cry every single time - this song came out when I was in 5th grade - and it’s the truth. Life goes soooo fast… I’m now 34…. Don’t grow up too fast kids…

My advice to the young ones and teens that can't wait to grow up: Live life to the fullest! You're only young for how long, so appreciate it, go and hangout with your friends, cause you'll miss your teenage life/being young when you're old enough..

Here's to everyone who didn't have friends or a good time in high school 😔 Hopefully our adulthood is where life shines. Life ain't fair but you only get it once, keep hoping for better times 💙

It doesn't matter what year you graduated. Hold on to the memories you had with your friends from youth. No matter how far back you knew them. Those are memories you will cherish forever.

I graduated in 2002 and they had this song playing. When I hear this song, I get emotional because in the 90's and early 2000's was the best memories ever. We didn't have to worry about anything like right now. I'm 37 and I love this song

Congrats class of 2022! They played this at my graduation in 2005, and now my son graduated and I cry every time this song plays! So bittersweet

I am calling it now. A million years from now when everyone seeing this now has gotten old and died, the song will continue to get played at graduations all over the world. May this song never die!

Playing this for my Senior son.. congratulations

this song makes me think about all the friends i used to have in high school that don't talk to me anymore. I miss them but as you grow up nobody has time for eachother anymore. everyone is just working on their own shit or have moved far away. growing up is so damn lonely.

For some reason this song still makes me emotional af. 😅

Class of 1999 here and this is the original graduation song. What a throwback!!! ♥

This song came out the year I graduated high school. We were the class of 2000, the first of the new millennium. I couldn’t listen to it then and 24 years later I still can’t listen to it without crying. Lost youth.

Kids.. back then we didn't really have social media nor cellphones. We really didn't have any way to keep in touch with friends once we leave for college. Unlike today, people can share what's going on with their everyday lives. Just imagine your friends now in school and that you don't know when you will see them again. Which is why this song is so emotional because high school was truly the special years of everyones lives.

High School in the 90s was pretty awesome looking back.

Man this song just made a grown man cry. I need to reach out to some of my old friends from school and see how they are doing... havent seen them in years. God i miss the early 2000s

Class of 2001 here. Joined the military right out of high school. 3 months later we were at war. Iraq and Afghanistan changed me but this reminds me of simpler times.

33 now, take your time growing up. Make mistakes, have fun, relax, don't try, and impress everyone you come across. Time will fly so quickly, I wish you all a beautiful and happy life. This song takes me back and makes my ass want to cry, it's crazy.

I graduated from high school in 2000 the same year this song came out. Everytime I hear this song, I get sentimental. I can't believe graduation has been as long as it's been....To the youth, enjoy your youth because you can never have that time back again.

Song hit hard in 01 when I graduated...actually brings a tear to my eye listening now...

Listening to this song brings back SO many memories. I don't think anyone can say they didn't hear this song at the end of a school year on the radio, listening to family and friends give a shout-out to the next graduating class.

The older i get, the more i miss 90's culture. Things will probably never be as good.

Im 35 and this song will always dig deep into the nostalgia ❤️

I remember singing this song for my 5th grade graduation back in 2001 just before 9/11. I miss being innocent and full of hope. To all the young people never give up or become bitter.

Who's still listening to this beautiful timeless classic🎉

This hits different when it's been 14 years since you graduated.. and friends have passed. Rip to everyone we have lost too young.

R.I.P. to all the people who died that I grew up with in the 90s

In my 40s. Song still gets me. Life goes so damn fast

I was so scared that me and my friends wouldn't see each other anymore once we graduated, however we still do and it's been eight years since most of us graduated, still talk on the phone and hang out, also follow each other on social media, I'm so grateful to God because I know not everyone gets that opportunity.

Class of 2000...this song came out first for us. Remember the radio cuts with all of the high schoolers calling in to give shout outs. 22 years later, still friends with a handful of the closest ones from high school. As I enter middle age, I offer this advice: life is short and cherish true friends because things can change in an instant.

This song tugs at the heart. We all go our separate ways...some go off and serve our country, some pass away too young, some become professional athletes, actors, models, moms, dads, doctors, lawyers, and go off the grid...

"Your future is whatever you make it. So make it a good one!" -Emmett "Doc" Brown

I dropped out of highschool back in 2018. Told my parents I'm movin out and didn't need any of their help. Fast forward in 2024 im in college about to be a senior next year. Grateful for my parents for giving me a chance. A chance for a new life and I also met a lot of beautiful souls along my journey. And for my homies that left our world too soon, thank you for watching my back.

For me this song reminds me of all the fun times me and my friends had together. I'm not in touch with any of them today. But i will always have the memories from a time when everything was simple.

graduated in 2003...and this song still hits hard. It is insane how fast time flies :(

Damn good memories... all those tears knowing we were going separate ways congrats all classes of 2021

on my graduation day back then, in 2000, I sang this song for my classmates and we cried together. I still remember that. This song is really touching

I graduated in 2006 and this still hits hard. I miss my younger years so much. So many things I would have done differently.

Time flies. Enjoy your youth people. I am 62, 1980 is my graduation year. Nice song. No drugs and alcohol, the years will be a little slower for ya.

This song made me cry as a child and teen, but even more as an adult of course because it’s reality. My good friend since middle school passed away last year, and my other closest friends from school live 5 to 15 hours away from me. A couple of us had a falling out in college over finances and boys of all things. Another friend is married with three children which still blows my mind. Anyone else I was friends with just quietly faded from my life after graduation. I am very lucky that despite the distance, I still keep in touch and visit with a wonderful childhood best friend. It’s just sad things will never be as they were before like seeing each other every day at school, being Girl Scouts together, having slumber parties, staying up late reading and drawing, calls on the house phone our siblings would eavesdrop on, and the list goes on. I think the hardest thing to accept though is I am not where I thought I’d be in life (or at least I’m not as happy). I’m still trying to be hopeful for the future though.

Even at a young age this song made me emotional

Juice made a really masterpiece in that sample ngl 🥺💔

Class of 99. Last of the millennium. This song always gets me a lil teary-eyed. Great times with great people. RIP to all the ones we've lost too soon. 💔 🏝🌺💙

Class of 2005, I was in middle school when this came out and I remember those hairstyles and fashion as though it was yesterday. I remember listening to this on cassette and thinking how turning 25 felt like an eternity away…now I’m 33 with 4 kids and wish I could go back and experience those carefree days again just for a little bit 🥺

As a teacher, this song really bring me back when I was high schooler and graduated in the university. I felt both of sides, as teacher and students.

I miss all my friends so much,, plans, games, talks, music, dreams, arguments, home works, assignments, teachers, those days are never coming back. Hope all of them are doing well. Any undergraduate here, enjoy these days, time flies, you are going to missed so much like we do now.

Wether we’re here for sadness missing a friend whose passed, or a memory you won’t get back cause u grew up. We’re all here for the same reason, to hang on to a good memory. Love y’all ❤️

Just like that I’m getting ready to walk across the stage tomorrow. And all I did was blink. Thirteen years of school flies by. I still remember the very first day.

😢 this songs hits deeply when people miss there fun days

Graduated 2005 and this song still gets me. Truly some wonderful years.

Class of 1997, still listening in 2021. So hard to believe it's been 24 years since I graduated high school. Time moves so fast.

Class of 2000... I didn't have such a great senior year. I wasn't close to anyone at school and felt invisible, like a ghost when I was there. Looking back I may not have been as invisible as I felt. This song brings back the sadness and loneliness from back then and hasn't changed things much. I've only reconnected with 3 classmates from my class in the 20+ years since then.

Totally hits different when you’re 40 and have moved on from your hometown

It’s been 35 years. Love Pachebel’s Canon in D & this version. My older son is valedictorian and a 7 time state qualifier in 3 different sports. He graduates in a few days from the same school my wife and I did. It’s not been easy, but he made it. God bless the classes of 1944, 1948, 1988, 1991 & 20023!!!!!!

Always tear jerking

I used to think 25 was so far away whenever I listened to this song... it's next year! Where'd all the time go?!

I am 57 and heard this song only once back in 2001. I have been trying to find it for years and thought "All Saints" sang it. This is a beautifull melodic song and perfect for any graduation. I knew it was a hit the first time I heard it. It really is a timeless piece! Thank you Vitamin C for giving it words and doing it so perfectly!

Congratulations to my beautiful and wonderful niece Jessica, not only on your high school graduation but for your graduation from your EMT course, you've Always been My Hero, now you're Everyone's Hero. I'm SOOOOO incredibly proud of you and the amazing young human being you've become. I Love You Much.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌎✌🏼❤️😄

90s-20s songs are truly amazing ❤️❤️❤️

This song definitely gets me in my feelings. Now 10 years removed from high school, a lot of times you just want to rewind back to the good ol’ days and not have any stress and responsibilities, as life does get much tougher as the years go by us. To all those approaching graduation shortly, take the time to enjoy your youth and shenanigans because before you know it you will have reached your 30’s already and be extremely nostalgic about the great memories. Kids just be kids and do not rush life!

School bus driver, was thinking about playing this for the last day of my 2023 seniors. Unexpectedly brought memories of my high school years at the part “where we gonna be when we turn 25”. Turned 25 I’m like wow,time flies, class of 2015.

This song was played at every graduation in the early 2000 . It's a beautiful song didn't understand most of it now it make sense , thought I would have my best friend forever now I couldn't even tell u where she is . Time Flys fast cherish every moment of school cuz friends come and go but the memories stay ! Kids make the most of it cuz i would love to go back to those days

This song reminds me of my 1st daughter during her graduation...she is now 39 and whole a high position at her job...great memories

30-something here remembering when this first came out. Elementary school graduation. Played it over and over in middle and high school. It still never fails to bring me to tears.

This song has always hit deep! I'm getting teary eyed because this is reality not just with graduations but when it comes to certain events that have happened or going to happen in our lives. Whether it's moving away from home, moving to a different country for a job or great friends one moment and then kind of drift apart. This song is extra memorable to me because it was released when my high school class graduated which was 2000. ❤ To the younger generations: Cherish your youth because it goes by way too fast! Enjoy being a kid/teen because one day you're going to wish that you were a kid again with no responsibilities. Adulting is tough!

This song still makes my eyes water..im class of 1991 Peach county High Fort Valley ga...im here 8/2/24 Beautiful song

I graduated in 2004. This song brings so many emotions, good bad and indifferent. So many great memories, it’s sad to think of all the friends we have lost to young or just simply fell out of touch with. Enjoy every min of it kids, it’s goes by way to fast

This is perhaps the greatest and saddest nostalgic song. I hope all of you never lose who you were then

For all the young people listening to this, who had a rough time in high school. If you see this, life can be so much better. I didn't have a good high school experience, but I love my life now. My advice is to live in the moment and try your best. Don't be afraid to love, but also don't be afraid to fail. Be kind because the world will be a better place for it.

This song is truly one of the saddest yet sweetest partition song. I’m in my late 30s and this song reflects so much about our lives. You never how your life would turned up to be. You could be the brightest or the dullest student in your high school days, however, for some reason everything flips upside down for some people. It’s sad that some of my high school classmates who were exceptionally good turn in an addict and ruined their lives. However, surprisingly some of them did really well and is living their life now, holding a good position at work and even have their own family. Life is the best in when we are young. It’s sad to know that life may or may not turn out to be the way we want it. Cherish every memory of your childhood days. The best moment is when we see and meet our old buddies who have grown old 👴🏼 and bald 👨🏻‍🦲 😅 Stay positive and never let any negative energy influence you. Live smart and stay young both at heart and in flesh. Cheers to life!! ✌🏻

This song came out in March 2000 and I graduated in June 2000. This song always brings me back and reminds me of the people gone too soon.

Nearly 21yrs after Graduation... this song brings good yet sad memories from school... how much the friends we had back then, really don't matter as you go on with your lives. I mean I am grateful and happy for the friends I made that shaped me to who I am today. It's just friends are NOT always forever. I do still hope the friends I had 30, 20yrs ago are doing well...

I'm 40 and just heard this song on Sirius earlier today while driving with my wife. I remember listening to this song back when it first came out in '99. Brought back so many fond memories and emotions. It was quite difficult trying to stay composed and focused on the road while seeing my wife glimpsing at me in the corner of my eye. So many emotions flooded me.

They played this song for my graduation, I felt happy and also I wanted to cry, I'll also remember those good years I had at primary school 😭❤❤

I remember we sang this for the sixth grade graduation. Back then, I had a crush on a girl in my grade and I regret not talking to her about that on the very last day of school. A decade later and I am still regretting it.

Every time I hear this song I can close my eyes and think about High School and how I lost touch with friends. I think about also that girl I should have spoken to and now she lost forever. Now, as I graduate College I think about it even more. I hope that we all get to keep in touch with friends because time goes by so fast. Don't lose touch with good friends and those who needed a friend. Congratulations Class of 2021.

This song still hits being 43 😢 Honestly high school was the Best time of my life. I was in my best shape, had the most friends and had the most fun back then in the 90s. 😭

Thank you God for healing graduation times in Jesus name amen 🙏

You know, from time to time I listen to this song. I get very emotional as I get caught up in those thoughts of not only middle school (grad 2000) and high school (2005), but the people that were around me. I look at these as phases in life. The guys I hung out with in grade 7, 8…having a blast and talking about our futures and where we want to be and who will be at each other’s wedding etc…some of those friends go along with you to the same high school as others go to their respective high school’s. After graduating, going to college, then university…I look back and reflect. What happened to those people..where are they in life? What struggles did they go through? What other friends did they meet, or lose?…how did they pass away? I am 34 now, and I miss those years! They were some of my most memorable moment’s. As time goes on, my friend circle starts to shrink…so many thoughts in my mind..I needed to let this out. To those that have been with me throughout my schooling , I wish nothing but the best for you and I hope you all are doing well. To the friends I have lost due to whatever reason, please forgive, as I have forgiven you… for those that have passed away …may you always rest in paradise. Tears are coming down my cheeks as I write these thoughts…life is beautiful! Stay safe!

It’s crazy how fast life goes by after you graduate. Now I look back and wish I could relive it again, talk to all those friends that I’ve lost contact with and the ones that have passed.

Why is it when we're 15 we want to grow up n be an adult And when we're adults we want to be teens again 😕 Anyways, miss these kind of songs ❤

Yes, I’m here September 2024 reminiscing on the old days. I’m 38 years old now and boy how I wish I could turn back the hands of time.❤

This song came out 2 years after I graduated college, but now that my daughter is graduating high school its time to revive it

This song still hits me to the core. Gets me all in my feels. I just love it. This was a really good time to be alive.

I was HS class of 2012. College class of 2015. Law school class of 2019. Crazy how time flies. In one decade my life changed so much and forever.

Never graduated high school. Couldn't wait to get out, so this song doesn't hit the same for me. Still close with my best friend from back then, I can't say that I look back fondly though. 24 years later and I am graduating from college this year! My first cap and gown ever at 41 yo. It only gets better!

Every year of high school I hear this song in June and we get so sad and proud sending off our seniors... now that I'm a senior and the song is for me, I feel so overwhelmed with everything that's happened. Thank you to my teachers, friends, and classmates for making a positive impact in my life.

Never heard of this song until graduation. They made a effin sad video saying good bye to everybody. Made a lot of people cry.
